Looking at the little guy who seemed timid under everyone's gaze, Huang said softly.

"Eh, no, Lord Ara."

The little grass immediately shook its cheeks, and its somewhat curled-up body stretched out a little at this moment. Its raised gaze fell on the human woman not far away.

"Is it for her treatment, Lord Ara?"

Without the boy's command, the little guy immediately spotted the person who needed help.

The deathly aura that summer carries is so starkly contrasted against this vibrant environment, like the only twinkling star in the dark sky.

"Yes, we might need your help later."

Huang replied.

The conditions mentioned earlier were not something he made to fool Xia Ri, but a real promise.

As for why he would summon monsters in front of people...

Same reason as above.

There is no force that can threaten me; this is the absolute confidence that comes with strength!

"Yes, I understand, Lord Ara."

Hotaru's gentle way of addressing Ara-sama was truly delightful.

Looking at the little girl so close to him, a look of panic suddenly appeared in Xia Ri's eyes.

It's not worry, it's anticipation.

She hopes to live longer, to watch her child grow up, and even to return to the ninja village to fulfill her duties as a mother.

After all, the other party could tell at a glance that they were the one who needed healing, even when they were speechless!

Perhaps, giving the star to this boy is the best way forward for Star Village.

A strange thought arose in his mind.

Just then, Xiaocao came to the woman's side, gently placed her fair hand on the woman's arm, and began to murmur a song:

"Rotting grass turns into fireflies, gentle nature, please grant me..."

Although the Firefly Grass's healing abilities did not leave any direct wounds on Summer's body.

However, her power comes from nature, the purest life force, used to expel the death energy existing in a woman's body and nourish the turbid meridians, which is the most direct and effective.

This kind of cure, which addresses the root cause of the problem, is something that ordinary medical ninjutsu and conventional medical methods simply cannot achieve!

What can be seen is that the summer sun, which was originally somewhat sickly pale, has now developed a healthy blush on its cheeks, and the person in question even unconsciously murmurs aloud under this pure natural force.

At the same time, an unbelievable conclusion surged within him: 'Everything this boy called Lord Ara said was actually true!!'

She truly felt that her body was improving, and the ailments that had plagued her for decades were fading away!

"Okay."

"From now on, you'll need to take good care of yourself."

"Try to avoid contact with that again..."

As she lowered her fingers and withdrew her strength, Yingcao tilted her head, pondering what words to use to describe it.

"Emmm, yeah, energy."

She found the adjective.

"Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that they will be driven out again."

The little guy gave the instructions with a serious expression.

After all, the first treatment is always the most effective.

"Thank you."

"May I ask your name?"

Summer's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Her body being saved meant she could watch her child grow up!

"Eh."

Upon hearing this, the little girl glanced in Uchiha Ara's direction, and only after realizing that he hadn't made any move to stop her did she speak:

"My name is Hotaru, and I'm Lord Ara's shiki... Ah, Lord Ara's..."

Xiaocao was about to utter the words "shikigami" when she suddenly remembered that the Onmyoji had once told her not to reveal this aspect of his identity to outsiders.

And in that sudden moment, the little guy didn't know how to identify himself.

Fortunately, Huang sensed her predicament.

"The grass is my partner, a very important partner."

The boy filled in the missing adjective, and every word and phrase was exceptionally firm.

'Lord Huang......'

Upon hearing this, Little Grass quietly glanced in the direction of her adult, looking somewhat dazed.

'So, even yokai can be openly called partners by Onmyoji?'

This is somewhat beyond her perspective.

After all, in that world, monsters and humans mostly had only two kinds of relationships: opposition and subordination.

Equality and companionship seem to be nonexistent.

"Thank you, Firefly Grass."

"Really thank you very much."

Summer spoke up at that opportune moment, gently taking the little girl's hand and sincerely thanking her once again.

Good health is the most important prerequisite for her to continue to watch over the village and her children.

"Eh."

The little grass, whose hand was suddenly grasped, was clearly at a loss, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks from the praise.

However, she still answered instinctively:

"I...I didn't do anything."

"I am just a weakling... no, I am just following Lord Ara's orders."

Seeing this, Xia Ri didn't say anything more.

Aside from the fact that the little guy in front of me was too shy, there was also the fact that this gratitude could not be expressed in words.

Most importantly, the other party also said that treating himself was done in accordance with the orders of the boy in front of him.

Otherwise, they would just be passersby.

"I agree to your request and will help you obtain the star, but please also help the Hidden Star Village."

"The Third Hokage shares the same will as me, and I believe he will agree to cooperate."

"However, please wait until tonight, since my identity is somewhat special."

At this moment, Xia Ri had almost completely let down her guard and took the initiative to bring up the previous cooperation.

"Need not."

"Just lead the way."

Huang shook his head.

He didn't intend to linger here for too long.

Moreover, we have nothing to fear from the mere Hidden Star Village.

Chapter 168 Invasion, Xingyin Village

The Hidden Star Village was built on the edge of the 'Hell Valley', which is filled with poisonous fog.

Of course, their original intention was not to use the natural defenses here to guard against foreign enemies, but because the star that fell from beyond the realm landed nearby.

At this moment, Huang and Xia Ri were in the forest on the edge of the canyon, where the canyon, which looked like a crack in the earth, was in front of them, with visible yellow poisonous fog rising from it.

The Hidden Star Village did not lower its guard because of the existence of this natural barrier.

There are still four Hoshigakure ninjas dressed in purple ninja uniforms stationed on the surface.

“There are also ANBU members in the village. Although they may not be as strong as those in Konoha, they are by no means something that can be ignored. At least they are no weaker than most of your subordinates.”

"Summer is behind the giant tree," Xia Ri said softly.

Now, she has completely 'tied' herself to the boy beside her.

Eliminating the stars is its current goal.

"If you don't want to alert the Grand Elder's faction and are trying to sneak in directly, I suggest you wait until night. I know a spot where the guards are relatively weak."

The woman continued to add.

Being located on the outskirts of the Bear Kingdom is fortunate; with the protection of this forest, it's easy to hide a hundred or so people.

However, once they get close to the village, the ninjas of Hoshigakure will no longer react so slowly!

"Ah."

"Chino?"

Huang merely snorted in response, indicating that he understood, and then called out to the girl beside him.

"The wind has reached its designated position."

The little guy wearing wireless earphones gave a concise reply.

"Okay, let's take action."

Huang put on the gas mask he had prepared beforehand, which made his voice sound strange and low.

"Yes!"
