Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Chapter 249 Encounter with the Boy Named After Star (3)

Therefore, there must be something strange about this [Star], or some side effect, which is why the population of the Star Hidden Ninja Village is sparse.

If that's the case, then the sudden death of the so-called third-generation Xingying might be problematic... I should ask the people here about this, maybe they know something.

Sakura walked out of the gate of the Hoshigakure Ninja Village and went up along the rugged mountain road. She saw Subaru and Naruto standing together.

Then he heard Subaru say very seriously, "That is our training ground. Foreigners are not allowed to set foot in front of it."

Naruto, however, thinks that since we are asked to protect the so-called "star", why not let them get close? What's the point of talking about protection?

Regarding this, Subaru looked at Naruto with disdain, "Even you can't be completely trusted!"

Naruto immediately became impatient. "Why are you so suspicious? We are here to complete a mission. If you don't trust us, who else can you trust?"

Subaru didn't care if Naruto was angry or not, "I just said I was suspicious, so what?"

Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, Sakura greeted them and showed a rare smile, "Don't be so angry. We are just a temporary cooperative relationship. There is no need to get so angry."

Naruto also thought it made sense, but the next moment the three of them saw a man wearing a gas mask running out of the training ground.

Subaru was shocked at first, then showed an incredible expression, "How... is this possible?"

Sakura made a prompt decision, "Let's go after that guy, Subaru, you go check on your companions at the training ground, there's no time to lose!"

Sakura glanced at Naruto and ran towards the man. In just a moment, she caught up with the fleeing man.

Sakura threw a few silver needles to block the man's position. Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique to block in front of the man, and then looked at the man, "What a brazen thief, stealing in someone else's village in broad daylight!"

But the next moment, the man's technique also made Sakura, who was present, stunned. Isn't this... the Peacock Technique of the Star Ninja? Is that man from the Star Hidden Ninja Village?

The next moment, the chakra behind the man transformed into a tailed beast and pounced towards the two men.

Sakura pulled Naruto back and threw out silver needles, which bounced away when they touched the tailed beast. At this time, Naruto's clone took the opportunity to hug the man, "We have seen through your weakness! Your real body cannot move! Take it!"

But after Naruto rushed forward, he was still knocked away by the flexible chakra. The man looked at the two with disdain, "You are really funny, chakra can move, together!"

The two tailed beasts behind the man merged into one and rushed towards the two of them, but because of Subaru's appearance, the man gave up the attack and instead transformed his chakra into wings and flew away.

This move simply shocked Naruto, "It can actually fly?!!"

Sakura watched the man fly quickly across the valley, and thinking about what happened just now, there was a bit more inquiry in her eyes when she looked at Subaru.

Subaru looked at the man flying away, looking very annoyed, "He let him get away!"

Naruto was embarrassed, "Sorry...but..."

Subaru didn't care about that, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you deal with him."

Sakura spoke slowly, "That person used the same ninjutsu as your Star Ninja, and it seemed that he chose to leave because he saw you. What is going on?"

Subaru was shocked. After struggling for a while, he finally said, "This kind of ninjutsu can only be practiced by those who have received training from the Stars."

Naruto continued, "So, that person is from your village!"

But at this point, Subaru closed his eyes, "I don't know."

Sakura raised her eyebrows. It looked like she didn't know the answer. Maybe she was an important person with some connection? But it looked like she wouldn't tell us the truth.

Although Naruto didn't know what the Star was, he knew the importance of the Star to the entire Star Village. "He escaped from us. We will definitely help you get the Star back."

However, Sakura said that the target of the escort mission she had just taken over was gone when she first arrived. Isn't this really bad luck?

Ningci and the other two rushed over after hearing the news. They came to the two men. Ningci asked, "We received an emergency call from the training ground. What happened?"

Sakura was helpless and gave an awkward but polite smile, "Our guardian star was stolen."

Naruto quickly described the man's situation, "And the enemy is able to use chakra to fly in the air!"

Xiao Li focused more on the second half of the sentence, "Can it fly in the air?"

Tiantian also found it incredible, "I've never heard of a ninja being able to fly..."

Neji decisively used his Byakugan to track the man, then he let out a long sigh, "I lost him. What Naruto said is true."

This sentence confirmed that the enemy could indeed fly. Xiao Li looked at Ningci in surprise, "He can really use chakra to fly into the sky? What a powerful ninja..."

But when it comes to flying, Sakura can actually do it, but she needs to rely on the ability of the summoned beast. To use chakra to fly... it's really difficult.

I find it incredible when I hear it every day, "It's actually possible to fly in the sky..."

Naruto couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Come on, do you really not believe us?"

Sakura sighed. After all, this kind of thing was really hard to believe. After all, it was unheard of that chakra could be transformed into such a form.

Tenten looked at Naruto seriously, "Yes, what you said does need to be examined."

This really made Naruto furious, and he stamped his feet on the spot, "What did you say? Is my credibility so low?"

Sakura tapped Naruto's head and said, "Don't be so presumptuous. We'll discuss everything after we get back."

However, everyone in the Hoshigakure Ninja Village regards "stars" as fallen stars from the sky, a unique gift, but in fact "stars" are just meteorites.

Through her understanding of this place and combining it with historical records, Sakura roughly understood the origin.

The first generation of Hoshikage (this is the name of their leader as they are called by the locals) accidentally discovered that they could use [stars] to practice and strengthen chakra. Since then, the Hoshikage Ninja Village has occupied a place among many ninja villages.

However, according to Konoha's records, the practice of using "stars" for training has been suspended in the past ten years, and the one who banned this practice was the leader who called himself the third generation Hoshikage. However, about a year ago, the third generation Hoshikage died unexpectedly, and this practice was resumed.

As for why? After all, this is the top secret of the Hoshigakure Ninja Village. There is no record in Konoha, but there are many rumors. It is said that most of the people who practiced this practice died. Using this unknown power to forcibly strengthen the chakra may have some unspeakable side effects on the body or mind... ...
