Kobayakawa Kazuma once again envied the Fourth Raikage. When it comes to the abilities of secretaries, Mabui’s Heaven’s Sending Technique is indeed the one that should be preferred.

This kind of female ninja who can help her superiors at any time is what the job needs. On the other hand, although Samui has a good appearance and decent strength, she is basically just a vase compared to Mabui.

After two weeks of travel, Kazuma Kobayakawa passed through the Kingdom of Wind and arrived at the small country of Bear Country located at the border of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind. The Hidden Star Village is a ninja village located in the Kingdom of Bear Country.

There is a deep ravine in front of us. Xingyin Village is isolated by the Death Canyon. The canyon is filled with poisonous gas and is a natural protective zone.

Looking at the poisonous gas canyon in front of him, Kazuma Kobayakawa released a white flare to alert the people in the village that the person who accepted their commission had arrived.

Soon, a man wearing a gas mask ran over from the suspension bridge on the other side of the Death Canyon. He gave gas masks to Kazuma Kobayakawa and then took them into the village.

It was not until they passed the Death Canyon that the three of them took off their gas masks and were able to talk about the situation in the village.

Chapter 152: Arrogant Xingyin

The man who came from the Hidden Star Village to pick them up was called Akahoshi. He was a little thin, and there was always a rebellious light in his eyes. When he looked at Kobayakawa Kazuma and Samui, there was even some contempt.

“I heard that ninjas from the five major countries usually work in groups of three when performing missions. Why are there only two people from Kirigakure this time?” Akahoshi asked.

Generally speaking, when Kirigakure carries out important missions, they do so in groups of three. After all, this number has been verified by countless Ninja Wars.

But for Kazuma Kobayakawa, this task was something he could accomplish alone, so there was naturally no need to draw more manpower from the village which was already short of manpower.

Bringing Samui along was also to prevent this Kumogakure jonin from causing trouble.

In fact, completing the task was just a matter of convenience. His main purpose was to see if there were any women he liked in this village that dared to call itself the sixth largest ninja village.

Giving birth to children and becoming stronger is what a Mizukage should do.

“Another companion was injured on the way and had to return to the village.” Kobayakawa Kazuma made up a story and of course he had no intention of answering the question properly.

“Humph!” Chi Xing raised a cold smile and sneered, “I really shouldn’t have expected a bunch of you trash. Xing’s problems can be solved by us Xingyin internally.”

Samui frowned and was about to retort when Kazuma Kobayakawa beside her raised her hand to stop her from speaking.

“It seems that you have a deep prejudice against the five major countries.” Kazuma Kobayakawa said in a flat tone. He did not want to have a conflict with his employer here.

You know, even the five major ninja villages in the ninja world rely on external commissions for their financial income. Many times, some wars are even started just to compete for commissions.

Therefore, even in a powerful ninja village like Kirigakure, attacks on employers rarely occur.

“Am I wrong?” Akahoshi described calmly, “The ninja villages of your five major countries are just relying on their large size and large number of ninjas. If we have a hundred ninjas like me in Xingyin, even the five major countries combined will not be our opponents.”

Kobayakawa Kazuma couldn’t help but laugh. It was worthy of being a village that dared to call itself the sixth largest ninja village. Ninjas from any village could be so conceited.

Soon, Kazuma Kobayakawa met the village leader Hoshikage, and learned the whole story from him.

It turned out that just a week ago, a group of people from the Grass Village passed by Xingyin, and at that time, the star that the village had relied on for training was lost.

After this incident, the Hidden Star Village issued a mission to the Hidden Mist Village in the name of the village. The level was A, and the goal was of course to find the lost star.

After understanding what happened, Kazuma Kobayakawa took Samui to the scene for investigation. This mission not only requires strength, but also requires a certain level of reconnaissance ability.

The star of Xingyin Village is usually enshrined in a natural meteorite crater in the center of the village. The people of Xingyin Village built a place for practice in the meteorite crater and sealed the star here.

The wooden house is enclosed on all sides, with only wooden doors and exhaust vents connecting to the outside world.

“What do you think?” After surveying the site, Kazuma Kobayakawa checked the roof and vents, then looked at the shrine containing the “Star”, and asked Samui.

“A senior ninja who is good at invading has entered here, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to leave some traces here.” Samui spread his hands and replied truthfully.

“That’s a very good guess. As a reward for you, I will love you well.”

With the threats from his subordinates, Kobayakawa Kazuma beat Samui at the crime scene. There were usually only zero and countless times for Samui to surrender. Since the day Samui admitted defeat, it meant that her bottom line would be constantly broken.

Until a child was born to Kazuma Kobayakawa.

It was his first time working in such an environment, and Kobayakawa Kazuma felt it was somewhat exciting. After all, he had heard that murderers usually had the habit of returning to the crime scene.

Of course, Kazuma Kobayakawa did not encounter the murderer who returned to the crime scene. He just gave Samui a good education on ninja theory.

As the sky gradually darkened, Kobayakawa Kazuma pulled up his pants and said to Samui, “I already have a clue. Come with me to verify it tonight.”

“What clues? Why didn’t I find any?” Samui was quite surprised. After surveying the scene, she didn’t find any traces at all, but Kazuma Kobayakawa said that she had found a clue.

However, there is no need to doubt anything. We just need to accompany Kazuma Kobayakawa to verify it tonight, and we will naturally know whether what the other party said is true or not.

At night, Kazuma Kobayakawa began to act. With the strength of him and Samui, they could easily avoid most of the ninjas in the Hidden Star Village.

The moonlight was cold, and Kazuma Kobayakawa opened his Byakugan. In his sight, a ninja was running out of the village.

Kazuma Kobayakawa followed the ninja and saw that ninja came to the endless misty forest outside the village. He looked around and walked towards the depths of the forest.

“It’s so late, why are you here, Akahoshi, instead of resting in the village?” Kobayakawa Kazuma threw a kunai and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to block Akahoshi and asked.

“So you are the murderer who stole the star? Red Star!” Samui was quite surprised. She couldn’t help but ask Kobayakawa Kazuma, “How did you find out that Red Star was abnormal?”

“The person who could steal the star quietly in a secret place must be someone from within the village, except for the Jonin from the five major countries. I checked the duty records of the star at Xingyin. In the past half month, the number of times Red Star has been on duty has increased significantly.”

Kobayakawa Kazuma explained: “Chakra traces were left at the scene. Such traces usually appear because some ninjutsu that uses marks is launched. The ninjas of the Hidden Star Village are not only good at their famous secret technique, the Peacock Mystic Method, but also good at using marks to launch ninjutsu.”

This guy, in that kind of place, doing that kind of thing, didn’t he still remember to observe and think? … Samui was slightly startled. He didn’t expect that this lustful Mizukage had such clear judgment.

Chapter 153: Lesson of the Red Star

“Do I need to explain to you? You guys are nothing but dogs hired by the village chief.” Akahoshi crossed his hands, and behind him, light blue chakra formed a scene like a peacock spreading its tail. This was the secret technique of the Star Hidden Village, the Peacock Magic.

“Are you trying to start a war with the five major countries by using ninjutsu on us here?” Kazuma Kobayakawa twisted his neck and asked Akahoshi.

“Humph!” A trace of contempt appeared on Akahoshi’s face. “As long as I kill you here, who will know that I did what happened today? Even if the Hidden Mist Village sends people to investigate, I will just kill them again.”

“It seems there is nothing more to say.” Kobayakawa Kazuma smiled. Although it would affect his credibility to attack the employer’s people during the execution of the mission, the situation would be different since the other party was the one who started the trouble first.

There is no rule in Kirigakure’s ninja code that prohibits you from fighting back when you are beaten.

The only thing that worries Kobayakawa Kazuma is that his Truth-Exposing Technique is only 21% complete, and he cannot minimize the side effects of the Truth-Exposing Technique. I hope Akahoshi has better luck and doesn’t end up brain dead after just a random search.

“There’s nothing much to say. If you want to blame someone, just blame it on your bad luck for discovering my secret.” Chi Xing crossed his hands and made different gestures with his fingers.

“Peacock Magic. Beast!”

The chakra behind Akahoshi transformed into the shape of a tiger, as if carrying great power, and opened its mouth wide to bite Kobayakawa Kazuma.

Kazuma Kobayakawa simply threw out a kunai. Although the kunai was blocked by the chakra behind Akahoshi, it fell in front of the opponent.

“Oh!”

The beast composed of chakra pounced on Kobayakawa Kazuma’s position, rocks and soil splashed everywhere, and a circular pit appeared in sight.

However, before Akahoshi had time to be happy, the figure of Kobayakawa Kazuma appeared in his eyes.

For some reason, Kazuma Kobayakawa not only easily avoided the attack of Peacock Magic, but also stood in front of him leisurely.

Kazuma Kobayakawa casually swung his fist, and the punch landed lightly on Akahoshi’s face.

Suddenly, Chi Xing’s face was deformed, and his face and body flew backwards, causing him to hit a thick tree.

Then, the tree suddenly trembled, and with a rustling sound, the trunk began to shake.

“What an amazing move…” Samui muttered to himself.

Having suffered a severe blow, Akahoshi was no longer able to maintain the Peacock Technique. He looked at Kobayakawa Kazuma approaching step by step in horror, and the fear in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

“Monster…you monster, don’t come over here!” Chi Xing kicked his feet back and tried to escape. The previous calmness was no longer visible on his face.

“Where is your previous confidence? The calmness that made you not take the five great nations seriously?”

Kazuma Kobayakawa scratched his ears, stretched out his hand towards Akahoshi, and used the truth-telling technique. After a moment, a large amount of information appeared in his mind, and Akahoshi also let out a shrill scream.

During the days when the star was stolen, Chi Xing did increase his duty times, and he also discussed with several companions about stealing the star, hiding from Xingying and restarting the star training. After all, the pinnacle of star training was too tempting.

Akahoshi knew very well that although he was also a genius in the Hidden Star Village, he was still far behind Xia Ri, who was at the pinnacle of star training. With his strength, he would never be able to become the fourth generation Star Shadow.

However, on the day when Chixing was fully prepared and wanted to steal the star, he discovered that the star that had been enshrined in the shrine was missing.

Akahoshi, realizing that something was wrong, quickly sounded the alarm. The Hidden Star Village was unable to solve the problem, which led to the follow-up, in which the Hidden Mist Village received the mission.

Akahoshi’s luck was pretty good. After being baptized by the Truth Exposing Technique, he was still conscious. However, his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Kobayakawa Kazuma.

“This is really a headache.” Kazuma Kobayakawa frowned. He didn’t expect that the murderer was not the Akahoshi in front of him.

In this case, we have no choice but to pull out the rat hiding in the dark and take a look.

The moonlight cannot penetrate the dense forest, and only the Byakugan is a bloodline limit that can easily see the figures hidden in the darkness.

Kazuma Kobayakawa threw a marked kunai, and accompanied by the crisp sound of metal collision, a figure rushed out from the darkness, his back was covered with light blue chakra, which formed a pair of wings.

Akahoshi’s eyes were on the figure. As someone who had experienced the Star Training, he knew very well that the ninjutsu used by the figure was also the Peacock Technique. Moreover, unlike him, the opponent’s huge peacock tail feathers were the symbol of the peak of Star Training.

The first kunai thrown out did not achieve the expected effect. Kobayakawa Kazuma’s figure disappeared instantly. Using the technique of instant body movement, he appeared in front of the figure with a scarlet Rasengan condensed in his hand.

“What?” The figure seemed a little surprised when seeing the speed of Kobayakawa Kazuma’s physical skills.

The figure’s hands crossed quickly, and the chakra on his back changed from the shape of wings to the shape of a fist, attacking Kobayakawa Kazuma.

The state of practice of the Peacock Technique can be judged from the volume of the chakra tail feathers controlled by the ninja. The volume of the chakra tail feathers of the figure in front of him is at least three times that of Akahoshi.

boom!

The Rasengan collided with the Peacock Technique, making a huge roar. For a moment, red flames illuminated the surrounding darkness.

When the fire died down, Kazuma Kobayakawa was still standing there, while the mysterious man who used the Peacock Technique had fallen to the side, gasping for breath.

In the final analysis, the Peacock Technique was just a secret technique that allowed chakra to change shape to achieve different functions. This secret technique was worthless in the eyes of Kobayakawa Kazuma.

If chakra is compared to gold, then ninjutsu is equivalent to weapons bought with gold, and these weapons have various different abilities.

However, the effect of the Peacock Technique is like throwing gold at someone, and it is impossible to maximize the benefits of the chakra.

Pulling off the gas mask on the figure’s head, a green-haired man came into view. He looked at Kazuma Kobayakawa warily.

“Who are you?” Kazuma Kobayakawa asked directly.

“I am Yinghuo, not your enemy.” The green-haired man sat up and explained to Kobayakawa Kazuma, “I used to be from the Hidden Star Village. I heard that the star of the village was lost, so I came back to see if there is anything I can do to help.”

Kobayakawa Kazuma frowned. When he heard the man in front of him introduce himself, he remembered this person.

Yinghuo, Xia Ri’s husband, is a genius in star cultivation just like Xia Ri.

The two of them, knowing the side effects of Star Training, thought about taking Star away and ending Star Training completely. However, their actions were stopped by the Third Generation Star Shadow, and they were eventually expelled from the village as traitors.
