“No.” Kobayakawa Kazuma explained, “This guy had already anticipated that we would chase him, so he let his companions take the star away first. I’m afraid that if we want to take the star back, we have to continue chasing him.”

Kobayakawa Kazuma was not actually in a hurry to take back the stars. He even secretly hoped that these guys would return to Kusagakure Village as soon as possible.

Kobayakawa Kazuma is the shadow of Kirigakure. While he enjoys many powers, his actions are also subject to many restrictions. If he wants to enter the Grass Country to find Karin and her mother, he can only take advantage of the opportunity to find the stars.

Although Kazuma Kobayakawa’s main purpose for this mission is Xia, it would be best if he could take Karin and Karin’s mother with him.

After all, Karin and her daughter may be the only two remaining women of the Uzumaki clan.

Regardless of the beauty and qualifications of these two women, the physique of the Uzumaki clan alone is enough to make Kobayakawa Kazuma take the risk.

The Uzumaki clan is born extraordinary. Not only does this clan have monsters like Naruto and Nagato whose chakra is so large that it is unbelievable, but also Karin and Karin’s mother, who can restore injuries and chakra with just one bite.

It can be said that in the ninja world, as long as the word “Uzumaki” is in front of the name, even if it is a dog, you have to carefully consider what is special about this dog.

Kobayakawa Kazuma naturally had his eyes on the Uzumaki clan’s physique, which was even more valuable than all the bloodline limits he had obtained so far.

In the face of the Uzumaki clan’s physique, only the Sharingan and the Byakugan can be considered up to par, and the rest of their bloodline limits are not even up to par.

“Then let’s continue chasing. Since there are Kusagakure ninjas blocking us here, it means that our direction is correct and the star is not far away.” Xia Ri formed seals with his hands and summoned the chakra wings again.

However, this time the wings were a little thin, and looked like they were about to disappear. Because of the long journey and the injury just now, Xia Ri’s peacock magic had a flaw, and purple-black chakra blocks appeared on his body.

“Don’t use the Peacock Technique anymore. Wait until your chakra is fully restored, then we can continue our journey.” Kobayakawa Kazuma looked at Xia Ri, and seeing that Xia Ri still had doubts, he said in a deep voice: “I promise you, even if Xing has entered the Kusagakure Village, I will take it back and give it to you intact.”

Xia Ri’s pupils shrank slightly, and a relieved expression subconsciously appeared on her face. I don’t know why, this man’s words always make people so convinced and always make people feel safe.

“I understand. From now on, I will fully cooperate with your actions.” Xia Ri agreed immediately. Apart from trusting Kobayakawa Kazuma, she had no better choice.

“As expected of a ninja from one of the five great nations, you are so conceited.” The Kusagakure ninja next to him flashed dissatisfaction in his eyes and warned, “But you will pay the price for your conceit. We in Kusagakure have ninjas who are more powerful than you.”

Kobayakawa Kazuma didn’t care about the threats from others at all. He was the Mizukage, a ninja at the top of the ninja world. Moreover, he was good at chakra and had a strong ability to fight continuously.

Kobayakawa Kazuma asked the Kusagakure ninja to follow behind him, and he would ask some questions from time to time. Since he wanted to get Karin and her daughter, he naturally had to prepare in advance.

Even though he entered the Grass Kingdom to complete the mission of taking back the stars, given his identity, he couldn’t easily stay in the Grass Kingdom for too long, as this involved his political stance.

Therefore, the best way is to accurately find the location of Karin and her daughter, and take the mother and daughter away while taking back the star.

“A red-haired woman, can she recover from her injuries with just one bite?” The short and fat ninja quickly formed an impression based on Kobayakawa Kazuma’s description. Although he had never met Karin and her daughter, their special physique was already well-known in the Land of Grass, and this physique had saved countless injured ninjas.

However, it is said that this physical condition also has its limits. That woman has begun to not be able to function properly in recent times, and her recovery from injuries is not as fast as at the beginning.

“Even you, the Hidden Mist Village, are eyeing this power? You, do you also want to snatch the props from the Hidden Mist Village?” The short and fat ninja asked Kazuma Kobayakawa in a cold voice.

“Stupid!” Kobayakawa Kazuma glanced at the other person coldly and emphasized: “Using the women of the Uzumaki clan as props to recover from injuries? Don’t confuse me with you ignorant people.”

For Kazuma Kobayakawa, the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan is far rarer than that ability, and using Karin and her daughter as tools to recover from injuries is itself very stupid.

Under the questioning of Kobayakawa Kazuma, the short and fat ninja easily revealed the situation about Karin and her daughter. To this ninja, Karin and her daughter were not even as important as Xing.

Currently, there is a war going on at the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. The northern part of the Kingdom of Grass borders the Kingdom of Earth and is often involved in the war between the two countries. The red-haired woman is serving as a medical worker on the northern front.

After finding out the approximate location of Karin and her daughter, Kazuma Kobayakawa tied up the ninja from the Kusagakure Village on the side of the road, feeling a little anxious.

If he remembered correctly, it was not long before Karin’s mother died.

The number of wounded soldiers during the war was more than ten times that of normal times. Even with the physique of the Uzumaki clan, they probably couldn’t hold out for too long. At this time, Karin’s mother had been serving on the northern front of Kusagakure for more than two months, and she had to treat a large number of wounded soldiers every day.

It can be said that if this operation fails to take away Karin and her daughter, he will lose the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan forever.

In the forest, the short and fat ninja who was tied to one side looked up at the sky alone in the rain, feeling a little relieved. When he was leading the way just now, he deliberately tried to make a detour and gained two hours.

“I’ve tried my best, Yutian. If it were you, you would definitely be able to stop them.” The short and fat ninja frowned. He had to place all his hopes on his companions.

Chapter 159 Battlefield

Kazuma Kobayakawa and Natsuhi rested for a while in the territory of the Rain Country. Only when Natsuhi’s chakra had recovered to a considerable extent did they continue to use the Peacock Technique to continue their journey.

Before they knew it, it was the next morning. Kazuma Kobayakawa and Natsuhi successfully crossed the Rain Country and approached the Grass Country.

The rain clouds in the sky have been left far behind. The morning sun shines on the grass in the distance, and the dew on the leaves reflects a crystal luster.

“Lord Kobayakawa, there is someone there.” Natsuhi, who was holding Kobayakawa Kazuma in mid-air, reminded.

“Well, he is also someone who has come into contact with Xing and will tell us where Xing is.”

Under the command of Kazuma Kobayakawa, Xia fell on the grass.

In front of the sight, a man with a scar on his face and his hair tied into a ponytail was waiting, holding a long knife in his hand.

“Did you kill that guy Suzumiya?” the man with a scar on his face asked Kazuma Kobayakawa.

The moment he saw the Peacock’s magic, he knew that Haruhi had failed, otherwise, the person he would meet here would be the short and fat companion.

“I tied that guy up in the forest of the Rain Country. Whether he can survive depends on his ability and luck.” Kobayakawa Kazuma said truthfully.

Hearing that his friend was not dead, Yutian showed some relief on his face, “Since you spared Suzumiya, as a token of my respect, I will also spare your lives here.”

He drew out his ninja sword, held it with both hands, and faced Kobayakawa Kazuma.

Although he is a ninja of Kusagakure, Suzumiya naturally hates killing. This time, he stole the stars only for the war in the Land of Grass.

“You seem very confident.” Seeing the other party using a knife, Kobayakawa Kazuma also became interested. After all, he also wanted to see the strength of the ninja from the small country.

“Of course! I have been a genius in swordsmanship since I was young. When I was ten years old, I could cut off all the water drops in the rain. No samurai in the Land of Grass could match me. After becoming a ninja, I learned the corresponding ninjutsu, and my swordsmanship improved. I was promoted to Jonin within a year.” Yu Tian’s eyes were fixed on Kobayakawa Kazuma, and his figure moved.

The scenery in front of him seemed to be still. Yutian rushed behind Kobayakawa Kazuma. His speed was so fast that it seemed like there was an afterimage.

The moment he came into contact with Kazuma Kobayakawa, Yutian slashed out dozens of swords.

However, the Kobayakawa Kazuma in front of him exploded, and a section of the wooden stake was cut into neat small pieces and scattered all over the ground.

The thing in front of you is naturally the substitute that Kazuma Kobayakawa made casually.

“So it’s the type that combines illusion with swordsmanship?” Kobayakawa put the ninja sword back into the sheath. He came behind Yutian and punched him.

With just one punch, Yutian flew backwards and collapsed on the grass, with the ninja sword in his hand stuck not far behind him.

Yutian’s swordsmanship is very strong, but it is only strong in swordsmanship. He cannot see through the substitution technique, so he is destined to not be able to touch even the corner of Kobayakawa Kazuma’s clothes.

A samurai is a samurai after all. Even if he has reached the pinnacle of kendo, he has no advantage in the world of ninja.

Using the truth-telling technique, Kazuma Kobayakawa learned from Ameda’s mind the final destination of Xing, which was the Kusagakure Village in the Country of Grass.

People like Yutian tried to use stars to quickly improve the strength of the ninjas in the village in order to achieve the goal of deterring the Land of Earth.

The weak have no say, and this is naturally true for a small country like the Grass Kingdom.

Nowadays, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are at war. As a small country sandwiched between big countries, it is difficult for the Kingdom of Grass to remain immune from the war.

If it sides with either of the two countries, then the Grass Country will become an enemy of the other country. If it chooses to remain neutral, it will offend both sides.

Therefore, the Grass Country set its sights on the Bear Country, which is also a small country. Only if they gain enough power will they have the right to choose neutrality.

“Natsuri, on your way to Kusagakure, stick this kunai in the village between the northern front and Kusagakure Village.” Kazuma Kobayakawa handed Natsuri a kunai with the words “Kobayakawa was here” written on it.

Although his Flying Thunder God is only 10% complete, it can still cover a distance of dozens of kilometers at a time. If the markers are prepared in advance, it only takes a few Flying Thunder Gods to cross the entire Grass Kingdom.

Leaving a mark on Xia Ri is just in case, so that if things go beyond expectations, I can rush to the battle scene at any time.

“Yes!” Xia Ri took the kunai. She left a signal on the ground, waiting for Firefly and Xingying to arrive and act together.

Kazuma Kobayakawa first dissolved the remaining shadow clones, then created another shadow clone to follow Xia Ri, while he himself went to the northern front alone.

His shadow clone is very special, its strength is only slightly inferior to the original body, and it cannot use Flying Thunder God. With such strength, I believe that even if it is just a shadow clone, it is enough to walk sideways in a small country like the Land of Grass.

Kazuma Kobayakawa moved quickly towards the north, and in less than half a day, he arrived at the northern front line of the Land of Grass.

This is where the Grass Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom border each other. The two countries are usually separated by barbed wire. However, during the war, these barbed wire fences have been destroyed, and the border line is as useless as it can be.

It seems that Kobayakawa Kazuma came at the wrong time. At this time, the Kingdom of Grass was fighting with the Kingdom of Earth, and the ninjas of both sides used ninjutsu and taijutsu to fight on the battlefield, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

For a moment, the battlefield was full of various ninjutsu and ninja tools. The earth escape ninjutsu that the Land of Earth was good at changed the terrain, making it full of protruding sharp stones. The remaining torsos and blood of the ninjas were also scattered all over the battlefield, which seemed extremely cruel.

Kazuma Kobayakawa opened his Byakugan, and wherever his eyes passed, all the ninjas would be exposed in his sight.

“It should be there.” After confirming the approximate location, Kazuma Kobayakawa transformed into the ninja Ameda he met before and took the ninja sword on his back in his hand.

Less than a kilometer away from the battlefield, there is a sunken land, in which a temporary hospital of the Grass Country is built. The sunken land is surrounded by tree branches, and the trees and the surrounding weeds have become natural shelters.

Without observation abilities like the Byakugan, it would be difficult to find such a hidden place.

With the help of Ameda’s appearance and the ninja forehead protector of the Hidden Grass Village, Kazuma Kobayakawa was able to sneak into this temporary hospital.

The house was the original color of gravel, and the smell of disinfectant and feces mixed together, giving it a pungent feeling.

Walking into the hospital, Kobayakawa Ichima could see injured ninjas lying on both sides of the road. Some of these ninjas were wailing, some had IV drips on their bodies, and their eyes were empty and blank.

War is painful. On the battlefield, casualties are created every minute and every second.

Chapter 160: Choice of Props

“Where’s that woman?!” Suddenly, a ninja on the right side of the corridor pulled out the infusion bottle on his body. His right eye and hands were wrapped in thick bandages. The only exposed eyeball was full of bloodshot. He shouted at the top of his lungs: “Quickly call that red-haired woman over. Just bite that guy and no matter how serious the injury is, it can be healed!”

As this ninja shouted out his dissatisfaction, another seriously injured ninja also shouted.

“We are the jonin of the village, the jonin who were wounded for the glory of the village! Isn’t it a bit too much for you to not give us that thing to use?”

At the side, the nurse who was attracted by the noise was holding a notebook for recording medical records. She was obviously a little afraid of these ninjas, and her body was shaking slightly.

“Well…the props have been used too frequently these days. If they are not used in moderation, they will soon break down.” The nurse explained to the wounded in a weak voice.

“Broken? Is that tool more important than us, the jonin who fight for the village?”

Seeing the injured ninja and the medical staff of the hospital having a conflict, Kazuma Kobayakawa secretly opened his Byakugan and observed everywhere for traces of chakra.

Logically speaking, the Uzumaki clan has a huge amount of chakra, and in the perspective of the Byakugan, they should be as conspicuous as stars in the night sky, but Kobayakawa Kazuma did not find this feeling.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is also normal. If the Uzumaki clan’s chakra is almost exhausted, it may not be easy to find it.

With no way to rely on the Byakugan, Kazuma Kobayakawa had no choice but to walk through the corridor and into the treatment room.

As soon as he entered the consulting room, a middle-aged male doctor in a white coat stretched out his hand to block Kazuma Kobayakawa’s way.

“Master Ninja, I know you are eager to treat your injuries. However, our hospital has its own considerations. The tool needs a period of rest. In order to use it better, please be patient for a while.”

Kazuma Kobayakawa inadvertently glanced at the locker room behind the treatment room, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and excitement appeared in his eyes.

That’s right, the man with the iconic red hair must be the person I’m looking for.
