Yuuji was surprised to meet Hoichi here.
Hoichi could be said to be Country of Wind's number one expert and the number one monk simultaneously.
In the original work, this monk had defeated Gaara and Fu. He had almost taken away Ichibi and Nanabi.
"I was only here to take a meteorite, and I actually met you..." Yuuji lowered his head and shook it slightly.
It was true. He did not intend to kill anyone. As long as someone was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, he would be happy to pretend that he did not see it. It would be fine as long as they did not bother him.
But now.
It seemed that he had to deal with Hoichi... In other words, another Kage-level was going to die.
"Stranger, I'll say it again. Put down the stone in your hand and tell me everything you know!"
Hoichi's face was cold.
'Juubi... Bijuu with ten tails? But I've never heard of Juubi... This meteorite has something to do with Juubi?'
"That guy Jigen clearly can do it himself, but he wants to drag me into it. There really is a big secret! Star, Juubi..."
Hoichi gritted his teeth. After killing this person, he had to find a way to get the relevant information from Jigen.
"What a pity. Go to the Pure Land and ask the Sage of the Six Path. Maybe that old man is in a good mood and can tell you something."
Yuuji still lowered his head and did not reveal his face.
In the next moment, a powerful force suddenly spread out.
"You still intend to hide it? Forget it; when I beat you half to death, you will naturally tell me everything you know." Hoichi laughed angrily.
Buzz!
He suddenly played the lute.
The terrifying sound wave spread, causing terrifying damage to the entire building. Everywhere it passed, everything was torn to shreds.
Clap!
Yuuji only raised his hand and lightly slapped forward.
The attack that had surged over in an instant was instantly dispersed.
However, the entire building was unable to bear the burden, and after letting out a wail, it began to collapse.
Around the crater, the Hoshigakure villagers watched with grief and indignation as this place where they worship the Star was destroyed.
Two figures emitting terrifying pressure rushed out from the ruins, and powerful chakra surged, forming a small hurricane.
"This guy is actually so strong... Which village's ninja are you from?"
Hoichi raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person in surprise.
Kage-level should not be nameless.
In the distance, Jigen, who was watching this place, had a trace of surprise on his indifferent face.
"There is actually someone interfering, and this kind of strength... However, Hoichi can deal with the opponent."
Jigen's expression was cold.
After obtaining the Star and possessing Juubi's strength, he could be considered to have an extra trump card, so he wouldn't be so passive.
"I originally planned to wait until all of Kaguya and her descendants' trump cards were exposed before I take action, but I didn't expect Ninja World to change too quickly..."
Jigen looked from afar, his stiff and numb eyes revealing a bit of extra thoughts.
Under the night sky, a breeze blew and shook his collar.
First, a strange creature appeared from Ninja World. He didn't know what it had eaten, but it was so strong that it could match Bijuu.
It gave him an extremely uneasy feeling as if something important had been ignored by him.
Logically speaking, he, who was born noble and knowledgeable, should not have missed anything, but whenever he heard Godzilla, he had an ominous feeling in his heart.
It was not a big deal to face Bijuu head-on. In any case, those Bijuu had only taken a portion of the chakra from Juubi.
But...
"The new reincarnation of Indra and Asura has appeared, but the reincarnation of the previous generation has appeared too. This might be Kaguya's intention to intervene."
"But the problem is, why did Kaguya's descendants on the moon also start to meddle in the affairs of Ninja World and also summon meteorites to attack the Ninja World.
"I want to get the Star as soon as possible. If there is any accident, I can change the Star into a God Tree seedling and seize some of the energy of this planet as soon as possible to strengthen my power."
In Jigen's brain, there was an endless stream of foreign will, covering and rewriting Jigen's own will.
"Everyone thinks that I, Otsutsuki Isshiki, have died. But sooner or later, I will take this world into my hands!!"
In Jigen's head.
A tiny person the size of a cell was lying on Jigen's brain tissue, controlling the "vessel" that he had chosen and occupied a thousand years ago.
Otsutsuki Isshiki did not really possess Jigen. Instead, he chose parasitism. Although it was very painful, it was safer. He would not be exposed when he acted with the body of a pure ninja world inhabitant.
The key now was the Star.
If not for the fact that Ninja World had become too strange in recent years, Jigen, or Otsutsuki Isshiki, would not have been so anxious. He would continue to hang around, and at most, he would have to stay a few hundred years longer.
He watched the battle ahead, waiting for Hoichi to kill the other party and bring back the meteorite.
Then, he would deal with Hoichi.
Rumble!
A fierce battle broke out between the two figures.
The entire crater shook violently, and large amounts of rubble fell down, burying the bottom.
At the same time, it also drowned out the corpses that were everywhere.
"Katon: Goka Messhitsu(Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction)!" Yuuji raised his hand and spat out a massive stream of intense flames, almost covering the crater.
"Uchiha clan's fire release. Humph, Konoha's people?"
Hoichi hurriedly retreated and quickly strummed the lute strings. A stream of chakra gushed out, tearing apart the flames in front of him.
After most of the flames dissipated.
Yuuji's figure had already attacked at such a rapid rate that it was terrifying. He even plunged into the flames that had not completely dissipated, carrying the aftermath of the fire release.
At the same time, Godzilla Coat appeared from the loose black robe, and the red chakra was constantly surging.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and his huge chakra claw grabbed toward Hoichi, and the murderous intent came toward him.
"Jinchuriki? Could it be..." Hoichi's expression changed. His first reaction was that the other party was Konoha's Kyuubi Jinchuriki, but before he could finish his words, Yuuji had already attacked him.
There was also a slight change on his suddenly raised face, and his terrifying eyes turned blue.
Whoosh!
Hoichi hurriedly raised his lute, trying to resist.
However, his lute had been smashed into pieces.
Hoichi himself was also blown away by this tremendous force, blood spurting out of his mouth, and terrifying scratches appeared on his chest.
"You dodged quite quickly. It seems that your technique is only suitable for long-range attacks?" Yuuji said.
"You brought this upon yourself. If you weren't Jinchuriki, you might still be alive. Hijutsu: Sen no Rikyu(Secret Technique: Hermit Removing Separation Absorption)!"
Hoichi had a lingering fear in his heart. At the same time, he looked at Yuuji with a ghastly expression.
'Jinchuriki... What he was best at was dealing with Jinchuriki!!'
Immediately, Hoichi carried the tattered lute that was only left with a small portion and used his most powerful secret technique.
In the next moment, a chakra chain immediately gushed out from Hoichi's body. Its speed and power were extremely astonishing, and it rushed toward Yuuji with a whistling sound.
"This is... I remember now. It is the technique that almost killed Gaara and Fu. It can forcibly strip the Bijuu from the Jinchuriki's body."
A faint smile appeared on Yuuji's face.
This technique could strip Ichibi and Nanabi, but the question was, could it strip him?
Swish!
This chakra chain, which was extremely similar to Adamantine Sealing Chains, immediately rushed toward Yuuji, and the moment it touched Yuuji's body, it merged into it.
Hoichi wanted to tie up Kyuubi and pull him out directly.
"You are finished; no Jinchuriki can block my secret technique!" Hoichi was full of confidence.
But very quickly, when he tried to drag it, he was immediately stunned, "How can it not be pulled?"
Yuuji only looked at him and sneered.
Hoichi continued to exert his strength, releasing even more chakra, but his chain seemed to be wrapped around a mountain. No matter how hard he tried, it couldn't move.
"Kyuubi's chakra is so huge that I can't pull it at all? No, it shouldn't be like that. But logically speaking, no matter which Jinchuriki it is, I can... Wait a minute."
Hoichi looked at the other's face, and his heart jumped.
'No, he is not the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, but there is indeed a giant beast in his body...'
"Damn it; you are not the Kyuubi Jinchuriki!" Hoichi was shocked and angry.
"I never said that I am. You found out too late."
Yuuji raised his hand.
Powerful radiation suddenly spread out, whistling in all directions.
Almost no one could truly sense the power of the radiation, but it was already too late even if they discovered it.
"Logically speaking, you shouldn't have appeared here, but you just happened to appear..."
Yuuji continued to sense it.
The few villagers of Hoshigakure were directly swept by him, and the scope of the radiation expanded wildly as he searched.
Soon, he found something.
A few kilometers away, he noticed an individual emitting a powerful aura.
That body was so strong that it was unimaginable; the speed at which it devoured the radiation could be considered exaggerated.
"Who could it be..."
Yuuji didn't hesitate and immediately attacked.
Swish!
The giant claw suddenly condensed and grabbed the chain on the spot, then pulled it hard.
"Come over here. The secret technique that you are so proud of is about to kill you."
Yuuji sneered. This explosive force pulled the other party to stagger over.
Under Hoichi's terrified expression, the giant claw suddenly loosened its grip on the chain and grabbed Hoichi.
"No, bastard, how could my secret technique be unable to pull the giant beast in your body? Impossible, I clearly..."
Hoichi's voice was shrill, and his eyes were red. Even at this moment, he tried to trust the secret technique that he had cultivated for half his life.
Unfortunately, his body size made it impossible for him to pull Godzilla.
Swish!
Yuuji grabbed onto Hoichi and slowly exerted force, crushing Hoichi's bones bit by bit.
His muscles burst, and blood splashed out.
"It seems that you have a companion. Was it that guy who guided you to rob the Star? Tell me about your companion."
Hoichi's mouth was bleeding, and he was about to say something.
Snapped!
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
"Forget it, I don't want to hear it."
Yuuji casually threw Hoichi's corpse to the ground and quickly changed directions.
Because he sensed that the figure had already begun to move.
"Let me see who you are..." Yuuji's face was extremely cold.
He launched his pursuit, and his body moved quickly, disappearing from where he was.
In the original place, only ruins were left.
The houses around the crater also collapsed one after another. It was a complete mess. The few villagers remaining were trembling while some unlucky people even lost their lives.
"Is it over?"
"Who exactly are the enemies..."
"Two enemies wanted to take our Star. The other killed one of them, and our Star is gone!"
The crowd dispersed. The Third Hoshikage, who was already over a hundred years old, walked over with a complicated expression. He glanced at Hoichi's corpse, then looked in the direction that Yuuji had left.
"This kind of terrifying enemy has all come for the sake of the Star... Hoshikagure was established because of the Star, and it has constantly been growing stronger because of the Star. It has also been shackled because of the Stars, and now it has caused terrible disasters."
The Third Hoshikage sighed and shook his head.
If he had tried to stop them just now forcefully. He would have been killed by those two in an instant, which would be of no use at all.
"The man in black just now was undoubtedly Jinchuriki. But who is it, that kind of giant claw..."
The Third Hoshikage had a vague guess, but he did not reveal it and let it rot in his stomach.
'It might not be a bad thing that the Star was taken away by an outsider; at least Hoshikagure no longer had to be affected by the radiation.'
The Third Hoshikage thought this and began to organize the villagers to treat the wounded.
He stepped into the crater's center step by step and pulled out the dying Natsuhi.
"Looks like she's still alive. That's great. The village still needs your strength." The Third Hoshikage was pleased.
...
Outside Hoshikagure.
Two ghostly figures shuttled back and forth at an astonishing speed, one in front and one behind, engaging in a chase.
"A ponytail?"
Yuuji chased closer and closer. After seeing the other party's back, he faintly understood.
It was normal for a man to have a ponytail, but this kind of hairstyle only has hair on the top of his head and extends to the back of his head to form a ponytail...
According to Yuuji's knowledge, there was only one.
"Considering his strength, this guy's identity could only be that person... Otsutsuki Isshiki!!"
Yuuji's eyes suddenly erupted with a terrifying luster.
''A pure-blooded Otsutsuki had appeared in front of me!!'
'Bloody hell, a pie falling from the sky?!!'
A trace of eagerness flashed through Yuuji's eyes.
Isshiki, no, it was more appropriate to call him Jigen now. Isshiki was now a parasite and controlling Jigen, desperately struggling in Ninja World, not wanting to be discovered.
"The one in front, leave your life behind!!"
Yuuji suddenly stretched out his hand, and his huge claws stretched out crazily. He then grabbed him with a loud bang, like a dark cloud blocking the light!
