Chapter 173: The Forces in the Dark, the Strange Meteorite (4600) (1/2)

Konoha Village, Hokage's Office.

"I'll trouble you with the escort mission." The Third Hokage said with a smile.

"Yes!" Qianhe nodded.

"By the way, there is one more thing that you need to investigate secretly." The Third Hokage threw out a scroll.

Qianhe took the scroll and flipped through it, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Let's go if there is nothing else." The Third Hokage waved his hand.

"Yes!" Qianhe left immediately.

Looking at Qianhe's back, the Third Hokage frowned.

The previous estrangement seemed to be impossible to eliminate, but now Qianhe has become a trend...

A week passed quickly, and the Snow Country's envoys were going to leave for home today.

After Qianhe left the Hokage's office, he quickly rushed to the gate of Konoha, where the Snow Country's envoys were waiting for him.

His mission this time was to protect the envoys and return safely.

"Brother Qianhe, you are here!"

Fenghua Xiaoxue in the team had been looking around, and when she saw Qianhe, she hurried over.

"Well, I will definitely not go back on my word." Qianhe said with a smile.

Asama Santaifu on the side stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your help, Qianhe-kun."

"It's my job." Qianhe nodded.

"Okay! Let's go!" Santaifu gave an order and the team set off.

In addition to the samurai guards of the Snow Country, there was Qianhe.

However, he could feel that there were also Anbu following in secret.

It seems that the negotiations between the Snow Country and Konoha were very harmonious this time, and the relationship between the two sides has taken a step forward.

......

April 18.

After four days, Qianhe finally sent the Snow Country delegation back to the country safely, and then began to return.

On April 21, Qianhe rushed to the territory of the Fire Country.

However, he did not return to Konoha directly, but took a detour to the Bear Country, which was also his second mission on this trip.

The Bear Country is located in the southeast of the Fire Country. A few hundred miles north of the Bear Country is the island where the destroyed Whirlpool Country is located.

The eastern part of Bear Country is the Land of Water, one of the five great nations, and the southeast is the Land of Craftsmen.

According to the intelligence of the Third Hokage, in a recent mission, a Chunin team of Konoha disappeared in Bear Country. After sending several Anbu to investigate, they returned empty-handed.

This time, Qianhe's mission is to sneak into Bear Country to investigate the situation, and by the way, investigate the Star Ninja Village in Bear Country.

The Star Ninja Village is a relatively mysterious small village. It basically does not interact with the outside world. It is only known that the Star Ninja Village is located in a valley in Bear Country. Except for the villagers, outsiders have basically never entered the village.

The village leader of the Star Ninja Village calls himself "Star Shadow", but this title is not recognized by the five great nations in the ninja world.

The origin of the Star Ninja Village is also because a meteorite fell from the sky hundreds of years ago, so the village is called "Star Ninja Village".

As a village in a small country, its leader dares to call himself "Star Shadow", but so far, no country has had a conflict with Bear Country.

Because the Bear Country is poor in resources, and the valley where the Star Ninja Village is located is filled with poisonous miasma, even if there is an antidote, it is impossible to stay in the miasma for a long time. So far, even if the Bear Country does not interact with the outside world, no country has the heart to it.

For other big countries, a small country and a small ninja village, let them close the door and dream by themselves.

Because of this mission, Qianhe has to go to the Bear Country.

Qianhe remembers that the Star Ninja Village was mentioned in the anime. The meteorite seems to be radioactive and reacts to chakra.

By practicing near the meteorite, you can practice the secret technique of the Star Ninja Village "Peacock Magic·Sparrow Feather Beast".

This ninjutsu is quite powerful and has three abilities. The first is to materialize chakra and then transform into a beast for physical attack; the second is to absorb the opponent's chakra; the third is to feather the chakra and then gain the ability to fly.

In fact, Qianhe also thinks these three abilities are very powerful.

The ability to fly can be achieved with the help of light escape, let's not talk about it for now.

Chakra materialization is very abnormal.

Generally speaking, if you want chakra to directly achieve the effect of attack, you must highly compress and condense chakra, such as Rasengan.

However, Rasengan is extremely difficult, and once you master the Peacock Magic, you can materialize chakra and use it directly as a weapon, and you can also transform into a beast for physical attack, which involves chakra control.

Chakra is extremely difficult to control once it leaves the body, but it is different after mastering the Peacock Magic.

Just for this reason, Qianhe wants to try it herself.

In fact, the Peacock Magic is a kind of ninjutsu that is very wonderful.

The Peacock Magic is a kind of chakra activation, which can be developed and utilized more.

Moreover, the Peacock Magic can absorb chakra, and there are not many ninjutsu that can absorb chakra in the entire ninja world.

The Dark Release Bloodline Genkai is specially used to absorb ninjutsu, which is considered a kind. There is also a hungry ghost path in the Six Paths of Pain that specializes in absorbing chakra and ninjutsu.

There are endless secret techniques in the ninja world, and there are definitely more than these two techniques that can absorb chakra and ninjutsu, but this ability is indeed very rare.

From this, it can be seen that the development prospects of the Peacock Magic Method are very broad. After all, the strongest Natsuki Star who uses the Peacock Magic Method in the anime is only the strength of an ordinary jonin.

Because apart from the Peacock Magic Method, her basic qualities are probably not as good as those of an ordinary chunin in Konoha.

If Qianhe possesses the Peacock Magic Method, the power that can be used will definitely crush Natsuki Star.

Being able to absorb chakra greatly improves battery life, which is a good thing for ninjas who lack chakra.

Nowadays, in addition to hard factors such as age and physique, the most important thing that limits Qianhe's strength is the amount of chakra.

otherwise,

.

It's a pity that the meteorite is the most precious treasure of the Star Ninja Village, so it is naturally impossible to lend it to an outsider like him for a look.

But this is actually not a big problem, after all, he can take it himself without borrowing it.

The most important thing is that the risks of practicing this technique are extremely high.

The radiation from meteorites will cause cultivators to suffer tremendous pain. Basically, few people who have practiced for many years will have a good ending.

It is naturally impossible for Qian He to risk his own life and commit suicide for the sake of a mere peacock's magical method.

So this mission was not attractive to him.

After driving for a day and a half, Qian He arrived outside the valley where the Xing Ninja Village was located on the map.

This mission was just a show. What was he asked to investigate?

It happened half a month ago. If it was really urgent, how could it take so long for him to come.

Apart from anything else, Qian He didn't think there were many people in the ANBU who could fight except for the unknown ANBU chief.

When I read the original work in my previous life, I felt that the Konoha cows were inferior.

I only discovered it now when I was actually in Konoha.

Today's Konoha can fight, but compared with the one versus four during the Third War, it is now difficult to fight Kumogakure alone. If a big village comes again, Konoha will definitely lose.

Under this situation, Konoha is still fighting among itself.

I have to say that the senior management is really generous.

Nowadays, if it weren't for the fact that Konoha still has Jiraiya to support the scene, few of the older generation can fight. At least to deal with tailed beast-level combat power, they must have the Mangekyo Sharingan, powerful sealing techniques, or Sage mode.

Now Qianhe is the face of ANBU, even Kakashi's mission completion rate is not as high as Qianhe.

Although he has not been in ANBU for a long time, so far, all his tasks have been completed perfectly.

Qianhe, who knew the current reality of Konoha, naturally had some other small thoughts, but for the time being, he could not survive the third generation and Danzo, so he could only lie dormant.

Besides, if Konoha now fights among itself during this period of instability in the ninja world, it will really be doomed.

Obviously the Third Generation and Danzo both understand.

Qian He naturally knew what was going on.

At this time, Qian He stood outside the valley and closed his eyes.

Although it is just a show, it cannot be too perfunctory.

As Qianhe Kagura's eyes opened, he sensed the chakra in the valley.

"Hmm...about three hundred people? It's not bad for a small village, but it's really a fantasy to want to become the sixth largest country with just a peacock magic trick.

This is only possible if everyone has mastered the Peacock Magic Technique to great perfection.

It's just that it still lacks top-level combat power. "

After roughly sensing the chakra in the valley, Qian He secretly said.

"Huh? Someone is moving towards the valley?"

At this time, Qianhe sensed five people rushing towards this direction in the distance. They were not slow and they should all be ninjas.

"Could it be a ninja from the Star Ninja Village?" Thinking of this, Qianhe released the virtual [Light Tribulation Clone 7 Uchiha Shisui], and then used the earth escape ninjutsu to escape underground.

A few minutes later, a group of five people arrived outside the valley.

The leader was a tall man with a braid on the back of his head. His cheeks were so thin that he looked like a thin bamboo pole.

The five of them all wore forehead protectors with a five-pointed star pattern on their foreheads.

Xu Xu~

One of the five bald ninjas stood outside the valley and blew a whistle at a special frequency.

After he finished blowing, he exhaled: "Hey~ This is really unreasonable!"

"Nighthawk, stop complaining. Isn't it normal for Cloud Hidden Village, one of the five major countries, to look down on our little Star Shadow Village?" Another black-haired ninja said in a sinister tone, with a faint hint of anger in his voice.

"Damn it! Who knows what Xingying thinks? Is he an old fool?

It’s actually forbidden to practice using ‘stars’ to practice the Peacock Magic Technique. When will our Star Shadow Village become the sixth largest ninja village? !

They also asked us to find Yunyin Village to form an alliance! They didn't even let us in through the gate! "

"Damn Kumoyin Village, sooner or later we will let them know how powerful our village is! You are so arrogant, why did you lose to Konoha! Bah! How dare you look down on us."

"Humph! Without the assistance of 'Star', just dream!"

"Fortunately, there is still a natural barrier of miasma. Otherwise, with the arrogant attitude of the five major countries, it would not be easy to destroy our village!"

"Lord Akahoshi, please say something! I really can't swallow this breath!"

At this time, the leading thin man's face darkened and he said: "Stop talking! What's the use of complaining! Others are stronger than us, so they can neglect us like this.

If we were as powerful as Konoha, would Kumogakure still dare to do this? "

"But without 'Star', how can we catch up with Konoha."

"yes!"

"How can a village rise without the 'star'!"

Akahoshi frowned and said: "Nighthawk, City Burial, you two will go with me tonight to beg Lord Xingying, hoping that he can change his mind, otherwise..."

"Someone is coming!"

cried the Nighthawk suddenly.

The few ninjas who were complaining immediately shut their mouths.

It's okay for them to be close and complain together, but if anyone else hears it, Xingying will be punished behind the scenes.

I saw a ninja wearing a gas mask climbing up from the cliff. Then the ninja wearing a gas mask opened his backpack, took out five gas masks and handed them to Akahoshi and others.

The miasma is flowing in the valley. Even if you have a gas mask, you should try to go to places where the miasma is thin, otherwise it will cause certain damage to the body.

So under normal circumstances, when the ninjas from the Star Ninja Village come back from the valley, they will try to let the people inside lead the way.

At this time, just as a group of six people were preparing to enter the valley, the virtual [Light Tribulation Clone 7 Uchiha Shisui] attached itself to the body of the bald ninja Nighthawk.

After another five minutes, Qian He, who had used Earth Escape to hide underground, returned to the surface.

Then, Qian He turned around and left.

Qian He went directly to a nearby town and found a small restaurant for dinner.

When it got dark, Qian He left the village and found the right direction and walked towards the dense forest.

After waiting for about a few minutes, ripples appeared in the void in front of him, and [Light Tribulation Clone 7 Uchiha Shisui] appeared in front of him.

"Lord." Guang Jie's clone bowed.

"How about it?"

"It's taken care of."

Qian He nodded, "Let's go then."

With that said, Guang Jie Clone 7 directly transformed into reality, and then entered Qian He's body.

brush!

Qian He directly used the Flying Thunder God technique to transfer.

The next second, he appeared indoors.

"What's going on?"

The moment Qian He appeared, he was shocked. He saw the bald ninja who was sitting at the table in the room eating during the day, and Qian He appeared opposite him.

"Lord."

Just when Qian He was about to take action, the virtual [Light Tribulation Clone 7 Uchiha Shisui] came out of Qian He's body and said:

"This person has been controlled by my illusion."

"Is it an illusion?" Qian He looked at the bald ninja who moved freely and was stunned for a moment: "What a brilliant illusion? There is no abnormality at all."

It seems that Zhisui's illusion skills have reached a terrifying level. The clone of Light Tribulation clearly shared the same illusion with Qianhe, but Qianhe knew that although he could easily control the bald ninja in front of him with illusion, But there was no way to keep him looking so normal.

Guang Jie's clone said: "Lord, I have given a hint in his mind that he will not react in any way when he sees us, and will act in full accordance with his original will.

I only control him when necessary.

As long as his strength does not exceed mine, it is impossible to break the illusion. "

"As expected of the upgraded version, it's awesome!" Qian He nodded.

For the first time, he felt that even after sharing abilities, he was still worse than the Light Tribulation clone in some aspects.

The upgraded version is indeed different.

Guang Jie's clone bowed and said, "My lord, that's a compliment!"

Qianhe stepped forward, opened his Sharingan, then looked at the bald ninja and said, "Where is the meteorite in the village?"

In the attic to the east, next to it is the third generation Hoshikage's residence.

"Lord, I also heard something interesting." Guang Jie's clone said.

Qianhe closed his Sharingan and said, "What's the matter?"

"This person colluded with two other ninjas and intended to persuade the Third Hoshikage to resume the practice of Peacock Mystical Technique. If the Third Hoshikage did not agree, he was prepared to kill people and seize power."

"Oh? You said that, I still remember it." Qian He was slightly startled. He remembered that in the original work, it seemed that a ninja named Akahoshi joined other ninjas to kill the third generation of Xingying, and then restarted the practice of Peacock Magic.

"This village is so isolated. If Akahoshi and others seize power and then use illusions to control them, wouldn't it be a replica of Kirigakure? It can be used."

About an hour later, the bald ninja rested for a while and then left the room.

At this time, [Light Tribulation Clone 7 Uchiha Shisui] followed after becoming hollow.

About ten minutes later, Guang Jie's clone returned to the room.

"Lord, the three of them have killed three generations of star shadows, and now they are all controlled by me using illusions." said the clone of Light Tribulation.

"Well done, let's go look at the meteorites first."

"yes!"

Qian He followed the Guang Jie clone and sneaked into the attic next to the residence of the third generation Xingying.

After Guang Jie's clone was placed on the two guards inside, Qian He finally saw the 'Xing' of Xing Ninja Village as he wished.

I saw a stone platform in the middle of the empty room. On the stone platform was something that looked like a dry eagle's claw. On top was a purple spherical stone with holes on it.

Under the observation of Qianhe Sharingan, the surface of the 'star' has been releasing light purple energy, but it is only maintained within ten centimeters of the surface of the sphere.

Just as Qian He took a few steps closer and wanted to take a closer look, a system prompt sounded in his heart:

Di——

[Feeling high-energy reaction, analyzing...]

Di——

[You sense the high energy that is homologous to the power of the host’s bloodline. Do you want to absorb it? 】

Qianhe: "???"
