Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

Three days passed quickly.

Shiyuan has been sneaking into the Star Ninja Village every night for the past few days to test.

The location of the meteorite has long been figured out, but there are at least one jounin and several chuunin guarding it every day. Even if Shiyuan can quickly get rid of them, according to observation, as long as there is any movement, the nearby ones will A large number of ninjas came over, so the situation was not necessarily favorable to him.

Therefore, Shi Yuan is waiting for a suitable opportunity, such as the incident in memory where the Yinghuo couple stole the meteorite.

It is much easier to seize it from two people than to face an entire village.

However, based on the intelligence collected over the past few days, the Yinghuo couple have no plans to steal the meteorite for the time being.

Their suggestion that the village give up the practice of Peacock Magical Dharma is still just an opinion, and no more practical actions have been taken.

Moreover, I overheard the conspiracy of Akahoshi and others that night, and I haven't seen any trace of them in the past few days.

The reason is naturally because the other party wants to plan a perfect plan, but Shi Yuan does not have the patience to wait for the other party to take action, and then take advantage of the chaos to take action.

Who knows when Operation Akahoshi will begin?Who knows when the Yinghuo couple will have the idea of ​​stealing meteorites to make the Star Ninja Village give up practicing the Peacock Magic?

Needs some push.

This was the thought that flashed through Shi Yuan's mind, and it was also what he had been thinking about these past few days.

On this day, after a day of practice, Yinghuo returned home.

He looked slightly tired. After closing the door, he relaxed and sat down on the tatami.

He slowly pulled up his sleeves, exposing his arms.

I saw purple and red patches on it, like rendered cloth.

"We can't continue like this! I may not be able to persist for a long time. Although the practice of Peacock Magic can greatly enhance our strength, the unavoidable side effects are like poison that attaches to the bones. The ninjas in the village have been practicing since they were young. Even lifespan will be greatly reduced!"

The expression on his face suddenly changed, and Yinghuo felt heavy.

There are many people with similar symptoms to him in the village. It can be said that most of them have suffered various degrees of physical damage due to long-term exposure to falling stars while practicing Peacock Magic, but he is the only one who has suffered the greater degree of erosion. one of.

In the past hundreds of years in the village, except for the three generations of Xingying who have lived for so long, no one has lived to death of old age. They all died directly due to physical reasons when they were at the peak of their prime.

This makes the survival period of the village's combat power from generation to generation extremely short, and at the same time, the population of the village is visibly reduced.

According to Firefly's observation, even the genin in the village have been eroded by falling stars, and this phenomenon is still developing in the direction of younger people.

It's as if the power of the falling star is strengthening over time. Now even genin with little contact will be eroded like the jonin in the past.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Genin is the future of the village. If a genin collapses due to physical reasons before he has grown into a ninja capable of supporting the sky, then the village will naturally have no future!

Therefore, this is the reason why Yinghuo made that suggestion to Xingying a few days ago.

While the falling star brings strength, it also overdraws their future, which is not a long-term solution.

"You seem to be distressed?"

While Yinghuo was deep in thought, a strange voice suddenly came to his mind.

The sound was like a bolt from the blue, causing his body to tremble, and he quickly put on a vigilant look and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the corner, a man covered in black robes stood there.

And he didn't even know when the other party appeared, which made him feel horrified.

He was a jounin after all, the best combatant in the village besides the Kage.

Standing up, the muscles in his back tensed, Yinghuo said in a calm voice: "Who are you?!"

He didn't dare to take action rashly, as the opponent's strength was only slightly stronger than his own. Once a fight broke out, it might affect nearby villagers, regardless of his safety.

Even though this was the Star Ninja Village, the other party's fearless appearance made him hesitate.

This person is naturally the source of time.

After several days of observation and investigation, he decided to take the initiative, and his first target was Yinghuo.

"I'm just a passerby, don't be too nervous, Firefly Jounin."

"I can't relax in the face of a stranger who comes in without telling me. I'd better tell you directly if you have any purpose." Yinghuo didn't believe the ninja in front of her, and her vigilance became higher and higher. At the same time, she was simulating it for a while. Battle scene.

"Refreshing! Then I won't go around the bush. I've long heard that there is a special chakra training method in Star Ninja Village, so I came here specifically today."

"Want a peacock trick?!"

"Yes and no. What I care more about is the thing necessary for the Peacock Magic."

"Falling star?" Yinghuo's pupils shrank.

In the history of the village, it is not that no one has taken a look at the meteorite with inexplicable energy, but no one has succeeded, because the natural defenses around the village are enough to block most enemies, but now this strange guy has actually sneaked into the village. This is much more dangerous than the previous enemies.

"Yes."

Shi Yuan nodded slightly.

He was wearing a mask and a black robe, and his voice was deliberately lowered.

"Why do you think I'll help you?"

"Why not? I know that you recently proposed to the village the idea of ​​giving up practicing with the help of that meteorite, but others did not agree."

When Yinghuo heard this, her heart was shocked again.

The guy in front of him knew a lot more than he thought. No wonder he came to find him. However, he pondered for a moment and replied firmly: "I won't help you. Even if Mr. Xingying did not agree to my suggestion for the time being, but There is absolutely no way I can cooperate with you, a guy of unknown origin, to seize the village’s property!”

"Is that so?"

"I think you will change your mind. If there is a connection, you can put a pot of flowers by the window and I will come to find you."

"Of course, if you don't have a connection, I think there should be people in this village who can cooperate, but I'm not very clear about the final result or means."

"you……"

Ying Huo obviously felt a hint of threat, and looked at Shi Yuan in the shadow with a pale face. Some violent chakra tended to overflow from her body, but in the end she still endured it and did not take action.

"Although that meteorite can increase the strength of your Star Ninja Village, that kind of power is not something you can control, and you should be very aware of the consequences of that kind of erosion."

"I hope I can hear good news next time we meet."

When Shiyuan appeared this time, he didn't expect that he would be able to convince Yinghuo to cooperate with him. His appearance only planted a seed in the jounin's heart.

Swish!

Yinghuo only noticed a blur in front of her eyes, and then the figure in the shadow appeared next to her as if flashing from a distance.

His heart tightened, thinking that this guy actually dared to fight with him in the village, so the chakra in his body moved instantly, but a hand fell on his shoulder the next second.

with a snap.

The chakra that just appeared around Yingying was blown away like smoke under a layer of black magic.

This change made Yinghuo's eyes widen.

He turned his head with difficulty to look at Shi Yuan, who was standing next to him, feeling a stiffness all over his body.

"I have no ill intentions, but I don't rule out taking strong measures to get what I want."

A drop of cold sweat quietly slipped from his forehead, Ying Huo said with dry lips, "This is... the Star Ninja Village!"

"I know."

Looking at the Yinghuo Jōnin in front of him who seemed to be calmed by his attack just now, a smile couldn't help but appear on Shiyuan's face under his mask.

The method he used to disperse the opponent's chakra just now was not a very advanced ninjutsu, but a formation technique he developed based on the sealing technique, which can disperse the enemy's chakra in an instant without any follow-up. The other functions are just a one-time means.

Now it is used to intimidate Yinghuo when they meet for the first time, and the effect is indeed good. At least it scares the other party immediately so that they dare not continue to take action.

A quick glance.As if he felt someone approaching from outside, Shi Yuan moved his hand away, then directly activated the teleportation technique and disappeared in place.

"call!"

When she realized that the hand that had just grabbed her shoulder and the mysterious ninja disappeared, Yinghuo suddenly let out a breath.

crunch--

The door was pushed open and he saw his wife walking in with their child Subaru.

"Yinghuo? Why are you standing here?"

Xia Tian opened the door and saw her husband standing in the middle of the room with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's nothing. I just sat for a long time so I feel a little uncomfortable, so I stood up slowly."

Ying Huo smiled stiffly, but this naturally could not escape the observation of Xia Tian, ​​who was also a Jonin, so the latter frowned slightly, and then.He patted the head of the child beside him, Subaru, and said:

"Subaru, you go to the backyard to practice what you learned today, and I'll talk to your father."

"Okay! I'll go to the back first, father." As he said this, Subaru winked at his father, and the child's spirituality couldn't help but reveal itself in him.

Subaru is a child of about seven or eight years old.

He inherited his father's black hair from Yinghuo, and his facial features are closer to his mother's Xia Tian, ​​so he looks very handsome. He is the kind of young lady who can't help but want to pinch him when he sees her on the street.

After saying that, he hurried towards the backyard.

He has two parents who are both ninjas. He has always longed to become a ninja and has always regarded his parents as his goal.Although he has not officially become a ninja yet, he is practicing chakra extraction or Peacock Mystic Technique every day.

As soon as Subaru left, Natsuhi looked at Hotaru seriously again.

She was very familiar with her husband, so just by looking at him, she could tell that something had happened to Yinghuo, which was why his expression was so strange.

"In the end what happened?"

Xia Tian stared into Yinghuo's eyes, wanting to get answers to her doubts.

The child was here just now, so she didn't ask any questions on the spot. Now that there were only two of them here, they naturally started talking about everything.

Yinghuo and Xia Tian's eyes met for a few seconds, and then they were silent for a moment, as if they didn't dare to continue to look at Xia Tian, ​​and directly moved their eyes in other directions.

"It's really nothing." The way his eyes dodge, he really thinks Xia Tian is a fool.

And often when you say something like this, it definitely means something is going on, and it's not a small matter.

"Has the situation worsened again?"

Naturally, Xia Xia didn't believe Yinghuo's words. The Yinghuo she saw just now had a look of despair on her face, and that look couldn't be faked. So even though her husband denied it repeatedly, she couldn't help but think of something. So he took half a step forward to hold the other person's hand with a worried look on his face.

"Uh……"

Yinghuo didn't know what to say for a moment.

His original intention was not to involve Xia Tian in the whirlpool he was in now, but he knew him very well after being together for so many years, and he seemed to have noticed something just by meeting him, so he didn't know what to say for a moment. To change the topic, Xia Xia took the initiative to come up with a reason.

The right hand hidden in his sleeve tightened and relaxed. Finally, he made up his mind. Although he felt guilty for deceiving his wife, compared with bringing the other party into unknown dangers, this white lie should not be too gentle.

A hint of being told something flashed across his face, and Yinghuo said uncomfortably: "Yeah."

Xia Xia's expression turned pale again and said: "Then don't use the Peacock Magic Technique recently. Continuing to practice will only make the erosion worse. I will definitely find a solution!"

"It's okay. It was just that moment. It's over now and it's much better."

"Okay, let's sit there and rest for a while. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Xia Tian knew that there was little point in continuing to discuss this issue, so she began to change the topic.

Both of them knew that Ying Huo's physical problems came from long-term exposure to stars, and that the Hoshi Ninja Village had not been able to find a solution to this problem for hundreds of years.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's what you cook, I like it, but you can ask Subaru what he wants to eat first."

Yinghuo signaled. He looked at his wife who was close at hand, with a sincere smile on his face.

"it is good!"

Xia Tian nodded slightly, and then walked towards the back room.

As soon as she left, Yinghuo gradually withdrew her gaze, and then her expression returned to its previous gloomy state.

"Damn it!"

Cursing secretly in his heart, Yinghuo clenched his fists, and his nails seemed to pierce into his palms. Waves of pain came from him, but he didn't care.

Thinking of the mysterious ninja's vague threats just now, the irritation in his heart became more and more intense.

He was unwilling to cooperate with the other party, but the other party also said that there were many people in the village who could cooperate. Although others were not as easy to cooperate with as him, the other party did not mind spending more time.

Rather than letting the other party cooperate with someone you don't know, it's better to take this uncertain factor into your own hands.

Eyes twinkling, Yinghuo thought.

However, there is still another solution.

That is to unite the villages to keep the guy who wants to win the star.

But for some reason, Yinghuo prefers to cooperate with that unknown guy.

Because by choosing the latter solution, Xing will continue to stay in the village, and Xingying and most of the ninjas in the village do not support giving up practicing the Peacock Magic. In the end, nothing has changed for him.

But if what the mysterious ninja said was true and the other party only wanted stars, then for him he had achieved his goal and made the village give up practicing the Peacock Magic.

Of course, he didn't have that much trust in the guy who suddenly appeared.

Often people who say they only want something end up wanting more.

Cooperating with such people is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger, which is a huge risk!

We need to take another look at this matter... Rubbing her temples, Yinghuo leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

Even if he wants to cooperate with the other party, he must have enough capital to be able to talk to the other party on an equal footing, otherwise he will be led away by the other party.

Whoosh!

Shi Yuan left Yinghuo's home and did not go outside the village.

I saw him walking along the shadows to a deserted place, and then with a burst of white smoke, his whole person changed drastically.

The mask and black robe disappeared, and at this moment he turned into a middle-aged uncle who seemed to be honest and honest. When he smiled, he looked like an honest man.

After getting used to his current body in the darkness, Shi Yuan walked towards a certain direction in the village.

This is his temporary identity in the Star Ninja Village.

The middle-aged man is a lonely genin in the village who has retired for many years. Because his ninja talent is extremely low, he gave up ninja very early and became a farmer in the Star Ninja Village.

In order to facilitate movement in the village, Shi Yuan naturally chose such a lucky audience as a cover for his identity.

There was no enmity with the other party, so Shi Yuan just tied the other party and kept him in the basement without harming anyone else's life.

Soon he returned to the middle-aged man's home. Shi Yuan ate something by himself and then fed the man in the basement. Then he stayed in the house and thought about the current situation.

It's already the fourth day since I came here. Although I haven't gotten the meteorite yet, Shi Yuan, as a middle-aged man, took a few glances at it from a distance of dozens of meters.

The amount of chakra that makes one's heart palpitate, although it has not yet reached the level of a tailed beast, Shiyuan is still satisfied.

And he found that the energy in the meteorite was not the type that weakened after being consumed. The method of practicing Peacock Miaofa was to absorb the energy. However, no matter how many people absorbed it, the energy of the meteorite did not weaken. On the contrary, From a few days of observation, that energy seems to be growing?

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shi Yuan had this feeling after observing it for three consecutive days, but the increase was relatively weak. Shi Yuan also came to such a bold conclusion because he was sensitive to abilities.

The more this happens, the more naturally it proves that the meteorite targeted by Shi Yuan is unusual.

Maybe it really is the incomplete body of the Ten-Tails as Shigen originally guessed.

If that is the case, Shiyuan feels that he will only make a profit but not a loss. Although the ten-tailed body is not worth mentioning as a fragment-level thing in the hands of Obito and others, it may be of great significance to him.

Just being a chakra source to make a jinchuriki is a good choice.

"Let's go see the Red Star in the evening."

Shi Yuan thought of Red Star again.

After a few days of silence, the other party met again in the afternoon with the bald ninja named Nighthawk and the former Guardian Jounin Shifu. It seemed that they were going to conduct a conspiracy at night.

For such a thing, Shi Yuan felt that he could not be left out.

When the other party attacks Xingying, it may be the moment for him to seize the star, and then he can also make a good sale to Yingying, thereby expressing his goodwill, which can also be regarded as a kind of feedback for taking the treasure of the other party's village. .

He is not the kind of person who commits banditry for his own benefit. He can at least pretend to be hypocritical, and that meteorite is not necessarily a good thing in the Star Ninja Village.

Don’t you see that jonins like Ying Huo are starting to resist using stars to assist their practice?
