Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

Star Ninja Village is located in the Country of Bears, just northeast of the Country of Fire. It is a country by the sea.

This Ninja Village was not a powerful Ninja Village at the beginning. Even though it was located in the Kingdom of Bears, the officialdom of the Bear Kingdom did not recognize its identity as a Ninja Village. After all, it was a village that did not even have the strongest combat power of a Jonin. It has almost no strategic significance for the country. It is more practical to recruit some wandering ninjas.

But I don’t know when it started. The strength of the Star Ninja Village has continued to rise. It even developed a variant of ninjutsu based on the meteorite obtained when the village was founded, which is very different from the common ninjutsu in the ninja world - Peacock Mystical Technique!

The Peacock Magic Technique is a ninja technique that the self-proclaimed first-generation Hoshikage of Hoshi Ninja Village spent a lot of time creating. It not only integrates offense and defense, but can also fly after practicing to a high level.

However, what is necessary to practice this kind of peacock is a meteorite, and this meteorite of unknown origin has a strong corrosive ability on those who absorb its power. All ninjas in the Star Ninja Village will be affected during the training process, and serious people may even cause die!

Meteorites, eroding the human body, falling 200 years ago...

This information was enough to make Shi Yuan suspect that the meteorite was closely related to a large creature sealed on the moon, so he was very curious about it.

The third generation gave him a few months, which was enough time to squander the time source, so after spending a week, he finally arrived at the location of the Star Ninja Village marked on the map.

After the rise of Star Ninja Village, it is not that no one paid attention to the meteorite, but the geographical location of Star Ninja Village is extremely advantageous. The village is surrounded by a strong miasma, and even the jounin cannot reach it in the limited time. Breaking out of the siege of this natural chasm, only the ninjas in the Star Ninja Village who have mastered the ability to fly can move in and out freely.

Standing outside the Star Ninja Village, Shi Yuan looked at the rich yellow mist in front of him with a calm expression.

In addition to the poisonous gas, there is a deep cliff-like ditch around here that isolates the outside world from the Star Ninja Village. Standing on it, Shi Yuan can even see countless bones below, probably some who have lost their way. Of course, the animals that died here did not contain human skeletons.

"Let's wait until dark before we act!"

Since he wanted to build the core of the village opposite, Shi Yuan also knew not to rush, so he had to at least enter the village to survey first and then slowly plan the follow-up actions.

Although he didn't think anyone in Star Ninja Village could stop him, it would be great if he could solve the problem in a simpler way.

After retreating a certain distance and finding a secret place to simply sit down, Shi Yuan took out the dry food he had prepared long ago and drank the cold water in the water bag, then leaned against the rocks and waited for nightfall.

A few hours passed quickly, and the sky became dark.

It's time to act.

Shi Yuan came to the place where he stood in the afternoon again.

In his previous life, he remembered that a group of people entered the Star Ninja Village wearing gas masks. Although they were eliminated not long after entering, it was obvious that this method was feasible.

Therefore, before coming here, Shi Yuan asked No. [-] to prepare an antidote and an enhanced gas mask.

The main body of the miasma here is hydrogen sulfide, a flammable and dangerous chemical, and its distinctive feature is the smell of rotten eggs. This is all information that Shiyuan has.

Maybe this can stop most people in the ninja world, but for people like him who already believe in science and devote themselves to science, poisonous gas is easy to solve.

Putting on the mask and taking the antidote beforehand, Shiyuan activated the sensory ninjutsu.

"Now there's only one last step left, and that's getting in there!"

Although the miasma becomes more intense at night, the faint light inside is particularly eye-catching due to the darkness.

After confirming that there were no ninjas from Star Ninja Village guarding the location he was about to pass, Shiyuan jumped directly from the other side of the ditch.

The muscles in his calf tightened and then burst out with powerful force in an instant, and then he was seen directly crossing a distance of more than ten meters and falling towards the cliff over there.

He was not able to fall to the opposite side at once, but after Shiyuan landed at the bottom of the ditch, he quickly accelerated his legs and ran forward.

In just a few seconds, he arrived at the bottom of the opponent's cliff, and then he attached chakra to his feet and climbed up.

This process is silent.

As a result, Shiyuan crossed the natural defense line that Xing Ninja Village was proud of and appeared at the boundary of Xing Ninja Village.

"Infiltration successful!"

Half squatting on the ground, Shi Yuan lowered his sense of presence, but at the same time he also noticed a sentry tower not far away.

However, perhaps because the Star Ninja Village is too confident in the defense line outside its home, there is no one on the sentry post here, it is just a decoration.

Without taking off his mask, Shi Yuan ran towards the village in the distance where there were still a few lights.

"Cough cough!"

Shi Yuan stopped next to a house, and then there was a rapid coughing sound inside.

is a man.

"Firefly! Are you okay?"

The coughing sound was followed by a gentle female voice, who was obviously very interested in the man who had just coughed.

"I'm fine, Summer."

"But your face looks bad."

"It's okay for now, I...ahem!"

While speaking, there was another suppressed cough, and then there was a slight slapping sound, which seemed to be slapping the back to relieve the cough.

"You still said it's okay, it's already..."

This time, the female voice sounded worried.

"Shh! Don't go at the child!"

The man's voice came, much weaker than before, and then both of them stopped talking.

"Fireflies? Summer?"

Shi Yuan squatted in the corner, muttering these two vaguely memorable names.

These two people should be characters who appeared or were mentioned in the anime he watched, otherwise he would not have this familiar feeling.

No matter now is not the time to figure this out, Shi Yuan's purpose tonight is to figure out the location of the meteorite and the strength of its guards, so as to lay the foundation for subsequent actions.

He left the corner where he was hiding and headed towards the center of the village.

Star Ninja Village is not big, and its layout is probably around the square in the center, and next to that square is the residence of Star Shadow.

The night patrols in Star Ninja Village were not as frequent as those in Konoha. Shiyuan only encountered two groups of ninjas along the way, and those people looked very relaxed, not at all vigilant about patrolling.

The house next to the central square of the village was still dimly lit at the moment. Shiyuan first activated his perception ninjutsu to make sure there were no detection ninjutsu or formations around, then quietly approached it.

"Lord Star Shadow! What do you think of what Yinghuo said this afternoon?"

At this moment, several people were talking in the room.

The person sitting at the head was an old man who looked extremely old but full of energy, and the person who just spoke was a young ninja with lavender hair, who looked like he might be in his 20s or 30s.

In addition to these two people, there were two other people on the side. They seemed to be not weak in strength. They should be ninjas at the Jonin level. In a small ninja village like Star Ninja Village, they were definitely among the upper echelons.

"Red Star, do you also think that we should give up practicing the Peacock Mystical Technique?"

The old man was the third generation Hoshikage of the Hoshi Ninja Village. He looked at the young jounin who was looking at him and asked.

"No!"

"The first generation Hoshikage-sama finally created a practice method suitable for us. After so many years of development, we have gradually gained some say in the ninja world. If we give up the practice of Peacock Magic now, we will only return to the original embarrassment. Status, this is not the result that the ninjas in the village want to see!"

The young ninja, whom Hoshikage called Akahoshi, hurriedly retorted.

He didn't mention this matter at this time just to speak to Yinghuo and others. If he wanted to make him give up the power he gained at great risk, he would undoubtedly want to kill him, so he naturally refused.

"Isn't the Star Ninja Village able to get to where it is now just by relying on the power of the fallen star? Although it will indeed cause inevitable damage to our bodies when we gain power, compared with losing control of the future of the village, This loss is still within the acceptable range!”

After listening to Akahoshi's words, Xingying nodded and continued.

He couldn't help but be surprised when Yinghuo and his wife made the proposal in the afternoon, because in the practice of peacock magic, Yinghuo and Xia Tian were rare talents in the village, and perhaps only the Red Star here could rival them.

He originally had high hopes for the two of them, hoping that the village would continue to grow under their leadership in the future, but who would have thought that the couple would say such words that would shake the foundation of the village at this time.

Therefore, Xingying rejected the suggestions put forward by the Yinghuo couple without any mercy on the spot, and directly drove them back to reflect.

A faint light flashed in Chixing's eyes, and then he looked at Xingying sitting in front with a serious face, and said: "But based on my understanding of the two of them, although Mr. Xingying directly rejected their proposal this afternoon, But they will never give up on that idea."

"I will handle this matter. I will go and talk to them in person tomorrow, so you don't need to ask more about this matter."

Xingying took a deep look at Akahoshi in front of him. They were the three most talented people of this generation in the village. However, Akahoshi's character was the most complex among the three, so he deliberately avoided it when he first started training his successor. Looking at the person in front of me.

but now……

"it is good!"

"Then I won't disturb your rest, Mr. Xingying. I will go back first and keep the city funeral and the third team vigil tonight."

Akahoshi lowered his head and said a few words before leaving. Others in the room also signaled to Xingying and left the room.

After leaving the house, Chi Xing's expression finally stopped being suppressed in the night. He clenched his fists, and then said to the person who followed him out: "The old guy is still like this! Obviously Yinghuo guy is going to talk today He made such rebellious remarks, but he still defended it secretly and had no intention of punishing him at all!"

"How am I worse than them?!"

With a slightly ferocious expression, Chixing turned his head slightly and looked into the house not far behind him.

The bald ninja standing behind Akahoshi lowered his voice and said, "Although Hoshikage wants to continue to support Yinghuo, as far as I know, there seems to be some problem with Yinghuo's body."

"Huh? Is the news reliable?"

Akahoshi paused and immediately looked at the bald ninja.

"Although they hid well, I sent people to follow them for a while. They recently left the village to purchase medicinal materials and find suitable doctors, so this news is undoubtedly accurate."

"But the information I have shows that there is no big problem with Yinghuo. It seems to be just a cough?"

"I have also secretly visited the doctors who treated Yinghuo. The news I got is that Yinghuo is already terminally ill. According to the current trend, even if there are enough drugs to suppress it, he will definitely not be able to survive for a few years."

The bald ninja squinted his eyes with a sinister smile on his face.

"several years?"

"Correct."

"But I think the old guys seem to be able to last more than a few years."

Akahoshi led the bald ninja to a dark place, and then Akahoshi said with gloomy eyes.

"What do you mean?" The bald ninja's breath stopped and he suddenly raised his head to look at the person in front of him.

Akahoshi said calmly: "I remember that Xingying is older than my grandfather, and my grandfather didn't even know how many years he died."

The bald ninja didn't know why, and thought for a while: "If I remember correctly, the third generation Hoshikage is already a hundred years old. Even in the ninja world, people of this age are rarely heard of."

"Indeed, so I think it's time for the old guy to let us young ninjas show up."

"What do you think?"

After hearing what the bald ninja in front of him said, Akahoshi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and look over.

A fierce look flashed across his eyes, as if a vicious wolf had encountered its prey in the woods.

"This……"

The bald ninja instantly understood the hidden meaning of Akahoshi's words, and his expression suddenly felt unnatural.

Although he was very close to Akahoshi in the village, he had never had such an idea. After all, Xingying had watched them grow up. Although sometimes he did not like the old man's actions, he just said it. A few words or a few words in your heart.

"Why, you won't be unwilling, right?"

Akahoshi's eyes turned slightly red when he said this, which made the hesitant bald ninja feel a little dangerous.

"I need to think about it!"

"Okay, given our relationship, if you stand by me, I will definitely not let you suffer! And you are still willing to let such an indecisive old guy continue to preside over the affairs of the village? If you continue to let him have the say, maybe one day I will really be persuaded by Yinghuo or Xia Tian to give up the power of the falling star and the peacock magic!"

The bald ninja's reaction was as expected by Akahoshi, so he spoke again.

This time, the hesitation in the bald ninja's eyes was mostly gone, but he did not agree directly.

"The city funeral has promised to cooperate with me. Now I'm just waiting for your answer. If you agree, this matter will definitely be successful, and I still have a way to clear our suspicions!"

Seeing that the bald head was persuaded, Chi Xing dropped another bombshell news.

Shimian is also one of the young jounin in the village, and he is also Star Shadow's trusted bodyguard.

"What?! Will the city bury him?"

Sure enough, the bald ninja looked surprised when he heard the news.

"Although Xingying was so resolute when he told us just now, the city funeral needs to protect the falling star, so he is by the old guy's side every day, so we know that he has secretly thought about giving up the falling star many times. His righteous rejection of Yinghuo's suggestion this afternoon was also a subconscious act because he saw the reaction of the ninjas around him."

"Today is just an attempt, but when this seed is planted into the hearts of those genin, there may not be many such things in the future."

Akahoshi continued, feeling alarmist.

"if so……"

The bald ninja's eyes gradually became determined.

"I knew you would make the right choice, but now is not the time. I will take action when I am ready. I will contact you then!"

Looking at the other person's expression, Akahoshi finally smiled, and then put his hand on the bald man's shoulder.

"it is good!"

Afterwards, the two of them went home, as if the conversation that led to some kind of agreement never existed.

After the two left, Shi Yuan walked out of the hidden shadow.

"interesting!"

He looked at the direction the two people left just now and said softly in his heart, and then let out a chuckle.

He was deeply impressed by the ninja Akahoshi.

When he first saw it, he thought of some of the things the other party had done, such as killing the third generation Hoshikage and becoming the acting Hoshikage himself, such as inserting the meteorite into his chest in order to defeat Naruto, but was shot by Naruto with a Rasengan Defeat directly...

When Akahoshi was talking to the bald ninja just now, he had been hiding nearby and eavesdropping.

Although everyone is a jounin, it is too easy for Shiyuan to prevent them from noticing him, not to mention that the two of them seem to have no ninja common sense and do not be vigilant when spying, as if it is impossible for someone to steal. Just listen to their conversation.

Therefore, Shi Yuan learned a lot of important information from the eavesdropping just now. For example, Chixing seemed to be planning to take action against Xingying, who was over a hundred years old.

Perhaps, that time will be a good opportunity to capture the meteorite!

Thinking like this, Shi Yuan moved towards the edge of the village.

Tonight, his goal was just to find out where the meteorite was placed, the strength and layout of the guards, etc. This information had been collected during the sneak attack just now, so it was time to leave temporarily.

When he was about to leave the Star Ninja Village, Shi Yuan once again passed the corner where he had stopped before.

Then he suddenly remembered that Yinghuo and Xia Tian were not the couple who stole a meteorite in the original plot?It seems that the firefly died relatively early, and the disease was caused by long-term exposure to the meteorite.
