"In exchange."
"I can help you remove the stagnant death energy from your body, allowing you to live longer."
“It’s not just you; after I get my star, all your companions will also receive the same treatment.”
"And now that there are no stars, you should be able to return to the village openly and reunite with your family, right?"
Huang's voice remained very soft.
There was no arrogance, no coercion.
All the words spoken were friendly consultations.
Similarly, upon hearing these words, the gloom in Xia Ri's eyes completely dissipated, replaced by shock and a hint of anticipation!
Chapter 167 I am Lord Ara—
"So, your answer?"
The time of desolation is not infinite.
When he had not received a reply for a long time, he asked impatiently.
Actually, it's really easy for Ara to obtain the stars from Hoshigakure.
Whether it's using the secret technique "Mirror Still Water" to infiltrate and take it, or instructing one's subordinates to launch a ninja war to forcibly obtain it, both methods are exceptionally direct and simple.
However, he was not one of those bandits from Kumogakure who liked to steal secret techniques, and he had no grudge against Hoshigakure.
Therefore, just as Ara would promise to grant a wish when forming a bond with a yokai, his first thought was to negotiate and trade with the other party to obtain it.
After all, stars are also a spiritual symbol for the ninjas of Hoshigakure (Hidden Star Village).
Summer suddenly awakens me.
She hadn't expected the negotiations to unfold this way.
However, he was not foolish enough to completely believe everything; after all, ninjas are masters of deception.
It's as if I and Lord Hoshikage deceived Ang.
He lied to him, saying that his parents had died five years ago in the battle to protect the stars.
"I can convey your wishes to the Third Hokage."
"I believe that the wise Lord Xingying will carefully consider this deal."
No matter how tempting the promises made by the other party.
In the summer, the first thing he wanted to do was to spread the word back to the village that there were hundreds of ninjas hiding on the border of the Land of Bears.
It may even be necessary to request assistance from our allies and the five great ninja villages immediately!
Moreover.
The idea of removing death energy from the body is inherently vague and difficult to verify.
Even the medical ninjas in the village couldn't eliminate or avoid the side effects of training with the help of stars.
Her lover died because of these side effects, and the young man in front of her casually claimed that he could help them solve such a stubborn disease. How could she believe him?
However, such an answer clearly did not satisfy Huang.
It's absolutely impossible to let Xia Ri go back alone.
Ultimately, this was not an equal negotiation at all!
Hoshigakure is merely a small, remote ninja village with grand ambitions. If he wanted to obtain the stars using ninja methods, it would be within his grasp.
"I believe I have shown my sincerity."
He spoke slowly, but instead of breaking off relations, he offered a further warning.
"The Third Hokage of Hoshigakure issued a ban on training using stars five years ago, didn't he?"
Upon hearing this, a noticeable look of astonishment appeared in Xia Ri's eyes.
Despite being a ninja, she doesn't seem to have very good control over her emotions.
Perhaps it was the boy before him who gave him the thought he had dared not delve into for the past five years: to rid himself of the death energy within him and return to his child's side.
Ignoring the other person's shock, Huang continued:
"However, I've heard that the villagers of Hoshigakure don't entirely agree with this ban, and the radicals are even proposing to restart the plan to use stars for training."
"After all, your village's secret technique, the Peacock Mystic Art, requires the use of star energy for cultivation in order to unleash its strongest form."
"And in all these years, after sealing off the star, the combat strength of the Hidden Star Village must have declined significantly, right?"
"Especially when the previous generation of ninjas were so weakened by death energy that they were left with only half their lives, resulting in a lack of successors."
With each word the boy spoke, the shock in Xia Ri's eyes grew stronger.
Because all of this is the current state of Hoshigakure, the absolute secret of Hoshigakure!!
The reason I, as a rogue ninja, have been hiding on the border of the Land of Bears for decades is to ensure that this prohibition is enforced forever!
"Who the hell are you!"
For a moment, Xia Ri forgot her own predicament and went straight to questioning him.
To have such a thorough understanding of the situation in Hoshigakure, they must have been planning and monitoring them for a long time!
"This is not what you need."
He replied coldly.
He didn't intend to get too involved with this small, relatively unknown force; his trip was solely for the sake of the stars.
Trading is a way to maintain one's principles and avoid becoming as hypocritical as those other great ninja villages one day.
Of course, Ara wouldn't reason with the evil ninjas entrenched on the outskirts of the Land of Vegetables or the unforgiving ones within the Land of Forests.
Directly suppressing and incorporating them into the government is tantamount to eliminating a scourge for the people.
"What you really need to care about is: how long can that elderly Third Generation Star Shadow, who issued the ban, still exist?"
"After that old man steps down, the most likely candidates to be elected village chief are either the radicals who want to continue pursuing the development of the ninja village, or the conservatives who care about the lives of their comrades."
Huang truly put his words to the extreme.
Moreover, this is also the future direction of Star Hidden Village.
Five years later, the most radical ninja in this village, Akahashi, dissatisfied with the status quo of the village, assassinates Hoshikage and reopens the sealed training dojo!
"Of course, there's another point: how long can your body last?"
"Once there is no oversight, your descendants will follow the same path and suffer from the side effects of the stars."
Seeing the woman's complicated expression, Huang added another blow.
This is also their most important weakness!
Upon hearing this, all of Xia Ri's previous thoughts were shattered by the future described in the text.
Indeed, the boy in front of me is right.
Lord Hoshikage is old, and his body can only last for another ten years at most, and that is under the condition of no intense fighting and minimizing the use of chakra.
And there's another very important point: the Grand Elder, Red Star, is a pure radical!
This is someone who puts the development of the village above the safety of his companions.
After the Third Hokage issued the ban, he kept trying to reopen the training ground where the stars existed, citing the village's future and the need for its revitalization.
If Lord Hoshikage passes away, Akahoshi will definitely do everything in his power to seize power and abolish the ban!
For a moment, she dared not continue thinking about it.
"My patience is very limited."
Huang urged again.
The reason he had been patient with Xiao Nan before was because she and the power she represented had conditions that were equal to his own.
Furthermore, they may have further collaborations in the future.
However, the woman before them, and the Hidden Star Village, clearly lacked such resources.
The words that reached her ears made Xia Ri tremble slightly, and her chaotic thoughts came to a halt at that moment.
"I........"
She uttered the words, but a struggle welled up in her eyes.
Colluding with outsiders to scheme for the treasures of their own ninja village—this is nothing short of treasonous!
"I agree."
However, he eventually managed to put aside his distracting thoughts.
In a sense, this is the only way for the Hidden Star Village to continue and develop better.
"Ah."
"Then, I'll pay you a small advance."
Huang responded immediately after receiving a positive reply.
Ignoring the doubts and shock in the other's eyes, she chanted to herself: "My guardian demon, appear before me, your name is Firefly Grass."
The space is filled with lush greenery.
There was no wind in the surrounding area, but the giant trees and flowers all swayed their branches and leaves gently at this moment, as if waiting, as if welcoming something!
"Lord Ara."
A timid call rang in my ears, and a petite and lovely figure came into view.
Compared to Chino, who stands with her hands on her hips and exudes a cool demeanor, Kogusa, aside from their shared cuteness, displays a completely opposite, gentle and vulnerable side.
Ok.
Superficial fragility.
"This is going to be troublesome again."
