Chapter 184: 184
It was because this stretch of valley was filled with yellow miasma, full of poison.
"Chirp."
A bird passed by Kisame, flapping its wings and tried to cross the valley, but it inhaled poisonous gas and struggled while falling into the deep valley.
Not even a bird can fly across, let alone a human being.
In fact, if looked closely, anyone will find that at the bottom of the valley, a large number of bones of animals are faintly visible, which is enough to show that this is a forbidden area for life. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Hoshigakure, not only sits on the treasure named star meteorite, but also has a Kage. For a long time, he has been provoking neighboring countries and Ninja Villages, and there is no limit to his actions.
However, due to the existence of this valley surrounding them with poisonous gas, the Hoshigakure has a natural barrier that can prevent the invasion of other Ninja villages.
Konoha, Suna and Kirigakure who were "sanctioned" by Hoshigakure not long ago, all had the idea of destroying it, but when the ninjas of the major Ninja villages came to this valley of death, they had to stay away and can only go back in vain.
Therefore, Hoshigakure was safe and sound, and survived independently to this day.
Until Kisame arrvied.
This little valley can't stop him, after all, he can fly. Even if he can't to fly, with the inhuman steel body he cultivated, if he swaggered through the valley, there is a high probability that he will be fine.
After crossing the valley and continuing to fly forward, Kisame saw a huge crater in the distance.
This crater is very spectacular. It is the largest one Kisame has ever seen, with a diameter of more than 300 meters and a depth of more than 100 meters. At the bottom center of the big pit, there is a tall building of earth red colour, which is a years old at first glance.
It is the place where the meteorite has been worshipped in Hoshigakure for two hundred years and the ninjas in the village can practice.
Kisame's plan is very simple, just walk in, see the meteorite, take it and leave.
Of course, considering that he is now a Demi-God of the Ninja World, the ruler of the Land of Water, and a perfect sage in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, if he engages in robbery in an open and out manner, the matter will spread out, and the impact will be somewhat bad.
Therefore, Kisame put on the cloak and mask again, and temporarily transplanted Obito's Sharingan and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.
'Whoosh.'
He jumped off the edge of the big pit, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the building.
'Huh?'
After he arrived, Kisame found that the defense force here seemed to be very lax. Although Hoshigakure had never been invaded by foreign enemies, after all, it was an important place in the village, but there was not even a guard.
He didn't encounter any obstacles, so he swaggered open the door and walked in, passed through the courtyard, and soon came to the main hall where the meteorite was worshipped.
Here, Kisame understood why.
Because the base that should have been enshrined with meteorites was empty at this time, with only a thick layer of dust.
Star meteorites have been stolen, and it was not recent.
Seeing this, Kisame frowned slightly. Just then, he noticed someone in the next room.
'Creak.'
Kisame opened the door and saw a dozen ninjas at a glance. The oldest was only about 20 years old, and the youngest was even in his early 10s, but all of them had no youthful vitality and were all lying on the hospital bed.
"Cough cough..."
These people kept coughing, coughing up black blood from their throats, all of them looked miserable, and some people even fell into a coma, their situation unknown to all.
Kisame saw through the bodies of these Hoshigakure ninjas, and he found that the tenketsu points in their bodies were disordered, and the chakra was activated to the limit, making the body unable to withstand it.
This is the symptom after being irradiated by a meteorite.
Kisame just glanced at them and knew that these people were no longer saved, so they were thrown here by other villagers to die - this is the price mortals paid for stealing the power of the Ten Tails.
He walked to the nearest patient, grabbed the latter's collar, lifted him from the bed, and asked in a deep voice:
"Hey, you aren't dead yet, right? Tell me, who stole the meteorite."
The man was frightened by Kisame's aura, and quickly replied with a horrified expression: "It's the Jonin couple, Natsuhi and Hotarubi from the village. They stole the meteorite and were expelled from the village by the Kage."
'Oh?'
When Kisame heard these two names, he frowned, recalled the plot again, and finally remembered.
"Don't care who I am, old man. Have you ever thought that even though you want to stop practising the Mysterious Peacock Method, but will those who have tasted strength give up easily? To solve this matter once and for all, you have to rely on me, a Kind man. I came to help you out of the sea of misery."
Kisame didn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Ten minutes later.
Kisame quietly left Hoshigakure and flew above the night sky.
After "persuading" HoshiKage painstakingly, he got the information he wanted.
To the southeast, in the mountains fifty kilometers away, there is a hidden cave. According to him, the couple and the star meteorite are hidden there.
'Swiii.'
Kisame looked in their direction, flapped his wings and galloped away.
In the distance, the outlines of the mountains loomed in the darkness.
Kisame came to the sky above the place HoshiKage said. Although he didn't find the cave immediately, he heard a lot of movement in the woods below.
There are ninjas fighting.
Kisame looked down and found that more than a dozen ninjas of unknown origin were besieging a woman.
The woman has long red hair and delicate facial features. She is a beautiful woman, and her body emitted strong chakra fluctuations, indicating that she is at least a Jonin .
She is the genius of Hoshigakure, once in a hundred years genius, Natsuhi.
"Hand over the star meteorite!"
The group of ninjas besieging Natsuhi shouted sharply, pressing her step by step.
"You want to take away the meteorite, but unfortunately you don't have that ability."
Natsuhi said coldly and quickly formed hand signs, a substantial purple chakra appeared on her body, and formed into a beautiful peacock's tail behind her.
This is the Mysterious Peacock Method.
Its principle is to combine the energy absorbed by the ninja from the meteorite with their own chakra, and then transform it into peacock tail feathers behind the caster to exert a powerful force.
However, from Kisame's perspective, the Peacock tails behind Natsuhi are more than ten.
"Haaa!"
Natsuhi let out a clear shout, and as her hands clasped together, the tail behind her turned into beasts. These chakra-shaped beasts, with their teeth and claws, roared and charged towards the enemy.
After a series of screams.
Under the gorgeous ninjutsu counterattack in by Natsuhi, all the enemies fell to the ground one after another, and no one was spared, turning into cold corpses.
"Humph."
Natsuhi snorted softly, put these corpses into the big pit she had dug a long time ago, and buried them. Then she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Neither she nor the ninjas who fought her were unaware that Kisame was right above their head and was watching all this.
The one-sided battle with a huge disparity in the numbers of the enemy has ended soon, with the final winner is the one with fewer people. This shows how much of a genius Natsuhi is
"These guys are really persistent."
After Natsuhi buried them, she muttered to herself. Ever since she and her husband, Harutobi, took the star meteorite out of Hoshigakure, many covetous people chased after them.
This is the sixth batch of enemies she has killed.
There is no other way, the temptation of meteorite to ninjas is too great. Almost everyone knows that this meteorite contains an incomparably huge amount of energy. As long as they can get it, they can get a powerful force that surpasses all living beings.
But if they want to get that power, they have to pay the price with thei life.
This meteorite has made countless people crazy.
Fortunately, this is the Land of Bears, and there is a valley full of poisonous gas, which isolates the passage from the outside world. Otherwise, if the five Ninja villages get the news, after they send the elite troops, Natsuhi will not be able to resist alone.
She rested in place for a while, and after regaining some energy, she looked around vigilantly, until she confirmed that no enemy was hiding in the dark, she turned and walked into the depths of the woods.
