Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Chapter 254 Encounter with the Boy Named After Star (7)

But no one expected that after Akahoshi devoured the chakras of those two people, he would be able to fight with Ang's mother to a standstill, and it could even be seen that Akahoshi had the upper hand.

Chi Xing was full of pride, "I learned my Star Cultivation through my own research, and your Star Cultivation is the orthodox way. I should not even be as good as you, but look at your embarrassing appearance now. You can't feel the power of last time at all. Sure enough, you have also developed the side effects of Star Cultivation!"

Xia Ri's eyes flashed with purple light, and the chakra in his body also increased in power. "Even if it costs my life, I will never forgive you!"

But Ang's sudden appearance at this time distracted Xia Ri, "What?"

Seeing all the children coming here, many things flashed in Xia Ri's eyes, especially when he looked at Ang.

And Chixing was also very decisive. He controlled the chakra with one hand and grabbed Ang.

Beidou was very confused, "Lord Chixing! Why did you do this? What they said... is it true? They said that it was you who defeated everyone and took Smaru away..."

Xiao Li sneered at Chi Xing's behavior, "How can a teacher treat a student who trusts him like this!"

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Chi Xing pointed at the woman in front of him and said, "Everything is for the village! To take back the stars that were taken away by her!"

Tenten didn't think this was a reason to torture Smaru, and Sakura stood behind Natsuhi, "This person is Ang's mother."

Akahoshi disagreed and spoke forcefully, "But even your mother is now your enemy. The woman standing before you is the one who took away the stars and intends to push the village into a crisis of destruction!"

Naruto was very excited, "No! She hid the stars in order to save everyone from the pain of training!"

Akahoshi felt that these people were too soft-hearted and were simply a bunch of rubbish. "Nonsense! To die for the village is what a ninja wants! Right? Smaru, didn't you say you wanted to become a star shadow and make the five major villages that look down on us take notice of us?"

Ang looked very strange at this time, and then he said: "Yes, I want to become a star and make them look at me with new eyes..."

A strange smile appeared on Chi Xing's lips. "Then let your stupid mother see your determination."

At this time, Ang's eyes were also flashing with purple light, and he took out the kunai from his arms, "For the village, I am willing to sacrifice my life!"

Neji saw through his Byakugan that Ang and Akahoshi's chakras were in sync, "Smaru is being controlled!"

Chi Xing also looked at Xia Ri without hiding anything, "That's right, now Smaru's life is in my hands, Lord Xia Ri, let's make the ultimate choice, right? Will you choose the stars? Or will you choose your son's life?"

When he saw the kunai in Ang's hand gradually approaching his neck, Xia Ri couldn't help but say, "Wait a minute!"

Akahoshi smiled wickedly, "What's wrong, Master Xia Ri? Have you finally realized your own stupidity?"

In the face of her son's life, she still chose to hand over the star. The moment she got the star, Akahoshi's smile gradually widened, and then she looked at the people in Konoha, "Since the star has returned, you can leave now."

But Beidou took Ang and Ang's mother away, and the remaining children also left quickly with Beidou.

Akahoshi looked at those children with a disdainful expression, "Immediately register Beidou and those children as traitorous ninjas. As soon as they enter the village, they will be strangled immediately!"

Naruto looked at the situation, his anger growing, "Are we just going to ignore it?"

Sakura frowned and pulled Naruto, Neji and a few others towards the outside of the village.

Naruto was still shouting, and Neji could only sigh, "It's not that we don't want to help, but now the mission has been completed. Unless it's something excessive, we can't get involved in the affairs of their village."

Sakura suggested finding those children and then making plans for the next step.

But when they found Beidou again, they were told that Ang's mother was missing.

Sakura thought, based on Natsuhi-sama's personality, "Perhaps, Natsuhi-sama is planning to take back the stars."

But knowing his mother's current physical condition, Ang ran towards the village without stopping. However, just as he stepped into the village, the necklace on his chest broke without warning.

Looking at Ang who had stopped, Naruto asked in confusion: "What happened?"

A purple light flashed in Ang's eyes. "Mom... is dead."

Then wings appeared on his body and he flew towards the training ground. This appearance made several people look at each other in surprise. They hurriedly chased after him, but when they arrived at the training ground, due to their identity as Konoha ninjas, they could only hide aside and watch.

The moment he saw the training ground explode, Beidou desperately ran to the rubble, "Smaru! Everyone listen to me!"

"If we continue to practice the star training, everyone will die! The one who took the star away was Smaru's mother. Smaru's mother did that to save everyone's lives!"

"Lord Chixing! Is it true that practicing will lead to death?"

Facing the questions from these Star Ninjas, Akahoshi walked up to everyone and said righteously, "Do you want to believe this nonsense? If someone can't survive the Star Ninja training, it means that his love for the village is not strong enough. Only those who truly love the village can become true ninjas! And lead the village to surpass the five great nations!"

And what Akahoshi said also made the group of star ninjas suspicious, "Who is telling the truth, Beidou or Akahoshi?"

Seeing Xin coming over with a cane at this time, Sakura couldn't help but frown, "Dragging a body like that, it's too messy."

Seeing Xin walk in front of everyone, he said, "Wait a minute, I have something I want to show you..." Then he opened his shirt while panting.

Looking at the purple lines on Jian Xin's body, the others couldn't help but show horrified expressions, "What on earth is that?", "What's going on?", "Is that the effect of cultivation?", "Too miserable..."

Seeing Xin looking at Chixing sincerely, "Lord Chixing, I have always been proud to be a member of the Star Ninja Village. Even if it was painful, I gritted my teeth and persisted, and continued to practice the Star... Are you saying that my love for the village is not enough?"

Just after saying these words, Jian Xin fell down, Beidou hurriedly caught him, "Jian Xin..."

"I don't think what the child said is true..."

"The third generation Xingying has always prohibited Xingxing from practicing. It turns out there is such a hidden reason..."

"Perhaps we adults were too eager to expand the village and made the wrong choice..."

Seeing the other Star Ninjas wavering, Akahoshi's pupils were full of bloodshot, "Damn it, you stray dog, do you want to deceive everyone and destroy the village?" Having said that, Akahoshi snatched the crossbow from the person next to him.

This action also made the others unable to bear it, "What are you doing? Chixing?", "They are not traitors! They are children from our village!"

Beidou immediately stood in front of Jianxin, and the other children rushed to Beidou after seeing this scene. Chixing looked at the group of children, "Do you want to betray the village too?"

The leading child said, "I can't keep up with what you are doing, Master Chixing!" And those children were also unusually united.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoying's eyes were wet...

Chi Xing was so angry that he almost wanted to execute them on the spot, "The only thing waiting for those who betray the village is death! Execute them all!"

But this move also made others dissatisfied, "Are you serious, Akahoshi?", "If all the children are lost, the village will have no future."

Chi Xing's two followers also looked at him in disbelief, "Hey, aren't you going a bit too far, Chi Xing?", "Can you please be considerate of everyone's feelings and take a step back?"

Chi Xing was furious. It was fine if the others turned against him, but these two were not very smart. They spoke without thinking. "Shut up! Why are you still saying nice things? Our hands are already dirty!"

"Red Star, what do you mean?"

Chi Xing showed a ferocious expression, "Our village has stars that other villages don't have, but there are stupid villages that don't let us use them. I just think that there is no need for such a village~"

"What? Could it be that the third generation was given by you..."

"Indeed, there are many suspicious points about the third generation's death..."

"Chixing, think it over and answer me! If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, don't expect us to let you off easily!"

Chi Xing was also desperate at this time, "It was the three of us who assassinated the third generation Xingying because it was the fastest way to save the village!"

Just as everyone was no longer on his side, Chi Xing took out the [Star] and pressed it hard into his chest, screaming, "Power... Power is constantly pouring up. What kind of practice is needed? I should have done this a long time ago, and I would be able to merge with the star, hahahaha!"

But before Chi Xing could show off, he let out another scream, and the purple light coming out of his body enveloped him completely.

Ningci, who has the Byakugan, saw the state of Akahoshi at this time, "A huge amount of star chakra poured into his meridians, causing him to go berserk..."

The beast form that emerged from Akahoshi defeated all the Star Ninjas with just one strike, and then the beast form turned to the group. Sakura didn't care about anything else, "Ice Shield!"

A thick ice shield appeared in front of everyone, but the power of the beast form was far greater than Sakura had imagined. As the ice shield broke, several people flew out, and Sakura was undoubtedly the most seriously injured.

Naruto quickly hugged Sakura, "Sakura!"

------

When Sakura woke up, as expected, she also arrived at Konoha's ward.

Naruto, who was sitting next to Sakura, was also very happy when he saw Sakura wake up, "Sakura, you are finally awake!"

Sakura was more concerned about what happened next with Xingyin, and Naruto told Sakura the whole story in detail.

When everyone was being knocked away, Neji planned to retreat, but Naruto looked at the seriously injured and unconscious Sakura, and thought of what Akaboshi had done, and he didn't care, "No! I must knock Akaboshi away! Just tell Granny Tsunade that it was my own recklessness!"

However, in front of Akahoshi, whose strength has been greatly improved, Naruto's Rasengan is still not enough. But at the critical moment, Naruto heard the voice from Smaru's mother.

The song that voice sang was so gentle. The summer at that time emitted a dazzling purple light, and the person in his arms was Smaru who was already asleep.

Although Naruto didn't know why the dead Smaru's mother would appear again, he heard from them that it was because Smaru's mother left behind the Peacock Magic Technique which could still be activated after her death.

In the end, it was Smaru's mother who helped Naruto completely defeat the Red Star, and that unique [Star] was also broken into countless fragments because of Naruto's Rasengan...

Sakura didn't need to guess to know what happened to Lady Tsunade when she came back. After all, their mission was to protect the "star", but they ended up smashing the "star"... It can be said that it was not just a matter of mission failure, Konoha also had to pay a large sum of compensation to Xingyin.

Sakura sighed, "What did Tsunade-sama say?"

However, Naruto smiled at this question, "Normally, that's the case, but the Hoshigakure Ninja Village didn't complain about this, and in the final analysis, the criminal this time was the client, Hoshikage, acting as the agent for Akahoshi himself, so Grandma Tsunade said that the mission itself doesn't count."

"Besides, I heard from Grandma Tsunade that the Star Hidden Ninja Village has arrested the main culprit Akahoshi and his accomplices Nighthawk and Shizong. They will face severe punishment in the village!"

Listening to Naruto's chattering in her ear, Sakura relaxed. After all, this result couldn't be better...
