Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

There is no need to rush the research. The Black Rod is a creation of Yin Yang Dun, and there is no suitable parent sample for his test as a comparison. Minato also gave the black cube he got from Ipshiki to Orochimaru, hoping that these things would be useful to him. Research helps.

It's just that when Konoha was busy, Minato didn't become a leisurely hands-off shopkeeper.

The Oni Country is located to the northwest of the Original Wind Country and southwest of the Original Earth Country, far away from Konoha. It is a small country close to the towering mountains that separate the east and west continents of the Shinobi World.

Its neighbors are the Country of Stone and the Country of Bears. In the ninja world, these small marginal countries have no sense of existence.

However, precisely because of their remote nature, when the ninja world began to unify, they were also the slowest to respond.

After all, the emperor was far away, and the lack of information also delayed the delivery of Minato's decree here.

Before a large-scale and convenient communication network was laid out, there was indeed a certain delay in communicating with them.

Today's manpower is scarce, and most of the manpower is sent to the area where the four major countries were originally. The small countries that can be taken care of are also those countries surrounding the Konoha border.

The reason for Minato to set off is very simple. The ghosts that were sealed by the witches of the Demon Country: ghosts and demons are actually "ghosts on the run" in a certain sense. However, in the era of the Sage of Six Paths, ghosts and demons can only be regarded as small bosses. It is not even considered a miscellaneous fish, and it is precisely because of its weakness that it was able to avoid being sealed by the Uzumaki clan.

It was a fish that slipped through the cracks in the fishing net.

It's just that time has passed, and the continuous wars in the ninja world have allowed the originally weak demon monster to continue to grow stronger. It has climbed up from the grassroots little by little, and has considerable power.

Although he does not have the power of the world like a truly sealed ghost and god, his own nature determines that he will be a troublesome trouble when he grows up.

But just as he was getting stronger, a witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts discovered its traces, and used sealing techniques to seal the demons and monsters, removing the source of evil before he could cause destruction.

However, the sealing ability of the miko from the Kingdom of Oni is not as good as that of the Uzumaki clan. If the Uzumaki takes action, there will probably be one more mask belonging to it in the Namen Hall, but the price paid by the miko who sealed the demons and monsters is much greater than this. many.

She divided the monsters into two parts, similar to how Minato divided the Nine Lamas, into good and evil sides that are similar to yin and yang. Of course, this distinction between good and evil is relative.

The more evil monsters were suppressed in the seal, while the less evil monsters were sealed in their bodies by the witch. After generations of education and domestication, the witch lineage successfully divided the monsters into hostile ones. of both parties.

Although they all come from the same body, they are no longer good partners who can help each other like brothers.

Devouring each other and possessing each other's power became an irreconcilable conflict between them.

This is also a helpless move, but the effect is good. At least after becoming hostile to each other, they will not work together to break the seal. Even if it is broken, they will fight each other first, even if disaster will happen to them. It will appear after the division is over, but it will also give people some extra buffering time.

However, no riots have occurred in the Kingdom of Ghosts yet. The giant reincarnation eye can only detect abnormal energy fluctuations in the Kingdom of Ghosts area. It has been confirmed that the current miko of the Kingdom of Ghosts is still Maitreya, and her daughter Shion has not yet Taking over from her mother as a miko.

Since the matter was not urgent, Minato took a trip to the Bear Country. It was a country with a harsh environment and there were poisonous miasma swamps everywhere. Especially around the Star Ninja Village in the Bear Country, there was the largest poisonous fog in the ninja world. district.

The poisonous gas emerging from the ground makes the surrounding area barren of any vegetation, but the exception is the Hoshi Ninja Village located in the center surrounded by poisonous gas. It is a 'little paradise' that is not polluted by poisonous gas.

The magical creation of nature always gives people many unexpected surprises.

The Star Ninja Village is a very magical ninja village. They are different from the ninja villages in other countries. Although they are attached to the Bear Country, they are relatively independent and do not rely on the funding given to them by the Daimyo of the Bear Country.

What's more, their special environment has made it more difficult for them to communicate with the outside world. Ordinary people can't even travel through Wudu to their villages, and the connection between the daimyo and the village has naturally weakened.

This stubbornness of living alone and the short-sightedness caused by the lack of information.Their arrogance has also made them one of the very few forces in the ninja world that does not intend to accept the rule of Konoha.

This is also impossible to allow.

Taking away the star that landed on the earth more than 200 years ago is one of Minato's goals, and letting them recognize the reality and leave that occlusive environment is the second goal.

After all, they are ninjas. At least they have ninjutsu to use in farming and are much more efficient than ordinary people. The current ninja world has not yet begun to popularize chakra on a large scale, and the value of ninjas is still relatively high.

The closer we get to the Star Ninja Village, the more barren the land becomes. When we approach within one kilometer of the target point, there is no trace of green on the earth.

At the end of the road ahead is a cliff. Looking down from here, the deep valley filled with mist is the first line of defense of the Star Ninja Village.

The fog can block the view, and the terrain of the deep valley below is complex and weird. Even if you wear a gas mask, this is not a dangerous area that can be easily explored.

It's just that this little toxin is nothing to Minato. The strong physical quality brought by the immortal body allows him to be immune to most poisons. Those that are not immune will be quickly eliminated due to the body's extremely strong metabolism, leaving behind It was already a big deal that the residual poison could make Minato upset.

The Sansho Fish Hanzo made into one hundred and eight dishes and ate it in large quantities. It was no joke to eat the Sansho Fish, but Hanzo’s Sansho Fish was gone, and his psychic beast was not easy to find. Otherwise, Minato would definitely drag Hashirama to fight the tooth festival. The more poisonous something is, the more delicious it tastes.

Minato, who floated in mid-air and passed straight through the poisonous mist valley, didn't take much time to reach the outskirts of the Hoshi Ninja Village.

This is a small village with a small population. The total population has not exceeded a thousand even during the holidays. Counting civilians, there are only 600 people, and there are even fewer ninjas.

It's just that the proportion of ninjas here is much higher than that in the outside world. It can be said that it is almost [-] out of [-]. Perhaps it is the harsh environment here that makes the people here have to become stronger. Only with chakra can they have more to survive. hope.

"Who! Why are you here!"

Minato, who did not conceal his whereabouts, was discovered by the ninja guarding the fence at the entrance of the village after he approached the Hoshi Ninja Village.

They turned their wary and hostile eyes towards Minato and made a defensive gesture.

"I'm from Konoha, here to see you..."

Minato glanced at the miserable poverty of the Hoshi-nin village.

"....Come to your leader."

Actually, what he wanted to say was the village chief, but even though it was a small shinobi village, he still treated everyone equally and gave him the title of leader.

"How presumptuous! I want to call you Mr. Star Shadow!"

The ninja standing on the left scolded in a bad tone, but looking at his proud face and proud eyes, it seemed that he took this for granted.

"Xingying? Ha..."

Minato couldn't help but smile, the title Kage could only be given to the leaders of the five major nations, and all the leaders of the shinobi villages who were not from the five major nations could only be called: leader.

This is the rule of the ninja world, which is respect for those who have mastered great power and strength.

The once glorious Taki Ninja Village did not dare to call their leader Taki Kage, because they knew that once they said so, the Taki Ninja Village would be destroyed, and the five major Kuni Ninja Villages would attack them in groups and then divide them up. clean.

"Outsiders, pay attention to your identity. Xingyin Village is as powerful as any other country."

The ninja standing on the right spoke, but his tone was better than the one on the left.

"He's just an outsider, so you don't need to get too close to him. I'll go tell Master Hoshigakure." Then he looked at Minato and said, "Just wait here."

The mournful man who stayed here glanced at Minato and turned half of his face haughtily, which seemed to contain a kind of disdain.

Perhaps the clothes Minato is wearing now give him the illusion of being 'weak'. Minato, who had long since changed out of the Hokage God's robe, is wearing a white robe with flame patterns at the bottom, and a cute orange robe on the chest. Portrait of little red fox.

This was Kushina's custom-made clothes for Minato, and the portrait was an accidental discovery by Kushina.

After the remaining six tailed beasts were all captured with the destruction of Turtle Island, Yagura and Yugao were also willing to hand over their tailed beasts. However, in order to prevent their lives from being affected, some of the tailed beast chakras were retained. in their bodies.

So Kushina saw the miniaturized state of the tailed beast after losing most of its chakra.

Kushina used a diamond blockade to hold Kurama tightly and was not allowed to run... Ahem, the ten thousand words of training can be omitted here. In the end, Kushina acted coquettishly (maybe it was the auditory hallucination of Kushina) Finally, Kurama, who gave Kushina a ball of chakra to play with, finally escaped from the sea of ​​misery, but his kawaii look also set off a craze of cute foxes in Konoha.

After all, who can resist a cute little orange-red fox that can wrap itself into a ball with its tail?

Now Jiulama can even take a walk on the street and open his mouth to eat various snacks hand-fed by ladies and sisters from all walks of life. Of course, this requires Jiulama to shrink himself into what he looked like when he was a child. .

Not only is he the most capable of fighting among the tailed beasts, but the Nine Lama is also the most capable of fighting among the tailed beasts in terms of appearance. He will not accept any refutation. This is the fact.

And wearing this cute style of clothes, coupled with that fair and handsome face, Minato's current appearance is naturally quite harmless to humans and animals, and in the traditional consciousness of the ninja world, this represents 'weakness'. .

A strong person is cold and calm. Even Hashirama, when he is silent, can naturally reveal this strong aura that is in line with the setting of the ninja world.

Not long after, the returning ninja raised his chin at Minato.

"Come with me, Lord Xingying has agreed to your visit."

"That would be great."

Minato wasn't annoyed by this, instead he found it a bit funny and amusing.

The small Star Ninja Village is really not big at all. It takes less than a minute to walk from the gate to Star Shadow's two-story building. If you look up a little, this small village can be completely covered by your sight. .

"I am a guest from Konoha. Welcome to Hoshigakure Village."

A rather old old man spoke from the main seat. It was different from what Minato expected. There were not just a few scattered people here. The fighting power of the Star Ninja Village seemed to be gathered together. There were ten young jounin. Gather here.

As higher-ups who have more knowledge than ordinary Stars, they are more sensitive to people coming from Konoha than others.

Minato couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the gazes that were staring at him and seemed to be putting pressure on him.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Minato waved his hand and casually pulled up a chair to sit down instead of sitting on the futon in front. After all, it was a bit troublesome to take off his shoes.

"I heard that your Star Ninja Village still wants to maintain its so-called independent status? But I am here to tell you that the ninja world has been unified. The ninja world has and can only have one strength, and that is..."

Someone under the star shadow suddenly stood up.

"...That is the unofficially announced Empire of Fire."

Minato, who was not disturbed, spoke a fact naturally and did not care about the objection expressed by the man standing up.

"There is no so-called independent state. Either you are an enemy or you are the people under your rule. There is no third option."

"Konoha's notification documents have been distributed and delivered a long time ago, but your Star Ninja Village has not given us a reply yet. Now that I'm here, what's your reply?"

Although it was just a very calm narration, there was no noise at all in the meeting place. A silent omen of danger rose in their hearts, making them subconsciously listen to Minato's narration instead of interrupting.

But after Minato's words fell, a violent backlash also appeared at this moment.

It seemed that they had just realized that they had been suppressed by Minato's invisible aura, and because of their inexplicable pride, they had always placed themselves in a position equal to or even higher than that of the five major countries. This feeling of being suppressed made them The Hoshi Ninja Village ninja present burst into anger.

Except for the old man sitting in the main seat, the noise and clamor suddenly appeared.

"What qualifications do you Konoha have to dictate to Hoshigakure Village?"

"Red Star!"

Hoshikage, who had not spoken a word except for the opening greeting, spoke up at the moment when his subordinates showed murderous intent towards Minato.

"Go back."

"But...Master Xingying..."

"No buts."

Even though Akahoshi couldn't wait to take action at this moment and give this Konoha guy a good look, he finally sat back down under Hoshikage's order. His eyes with unwillingness and anger crossed Minato's, but in exchange for But only Minato ignored his gaze at all.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Namikaze Minato."

"Lord Yondaime Hokage?"

Hoshikage frowned in confusion after hearing this name. It was not that he had never heard of Minato's name. He knew the Kage who had the shortest reign in Konoha.

But what he didn't know was the news of Minato's return.

The straight-line distance between here and Konoha Village is even greater than the east-west border of the Land of Fire. In addition, it does not deal with the daimyo or other ninja villages. The information in the Star Ninja Village is not limited.

"Do you have doubts?"

"Yes, but as you said before, I did not receive the notification document from Konoha. I am not aware of this matter."

"Anything else?"

A joking smile appeared on Minato's lips, "The ninjas of Konoha have accurately handed over the notification documents to the ninjas of every ninja village, unless..."

"Someone doesn't want you to see this notice, and that's the only possibility."

"Master Star Shadow!"

Akahoshi, who had just sat down, forced himself to interject at this moment, "This guy may not be the so-called ninja of Konoha at all. Who doesn't know that the Yondaime Hokage was a short-lived ghost and died a few years ago."

"What is your purpose here? If you tell me honestly, maybe I can give you a happy death."

The undisguised hostility and murderous intent appeared from Akahoshi, and two jonins from the Hoshi Ninja Village stood up with him. After this move, it seemed that Hoshikage was pushed into an awkward position by him.

"I heard that your Peacock Magic is a very interesting technique. You might as well let me see it."

Seeing the current situation, Minato's patience was exhausted. For these guys who have become blind and arrogant because of too little knowledge, the simplest and most effective way is to give them a slap in the face to wake them up from their illusions.

"In that case."

Hoshikage glared at Akahoshi, and Minato also walked up the steps. Even though he felt something was wrong, he could only continue along.

They came to the open space outside the Star Ninja Village. There were many curious eyes in the village, including many children. However, those children looked much weaker than those in other places, but they were not malnourished. .

In the field, Chi Xing, who had already been impatient, formed a seal with his hands.

"Let me show you the most powerful secret in the ninja world!"

"The peacock trick!"

The activated chakra surged out from his back, and transformed into a tail similar to that of a peacock. The red star, which could fly like this, jumped into the sky, ready to kill this boastful guy in the most gorgeous manner.

"interesting."

There seemed to be a magatama spinning around in Minato's pupils, and then he also formed seals almost simultaneously.

"Is that right?"

"The peacock trick."

Suffocating chakra surged out, and the vast ocean-like chakra condensed into a circular fan-shaped phantom thousands of meters high behind Minato. Compared to the authentic peacock technique, Minato's screen opening was magnified by several hundred. In addition, the color is slightly different. The peacock's tail reflected by the sun reflects colorful light, which is more dazzling than the peacock's tail.

"The chakra utilization rate is really low. I thought it was some amazing secret technique."

Minato sighed with regret.

"I still prefer this."

He stamped his feet, and the huge chakra illusion behind him disappeared, followed by the shock of the earth shaking.

"Immortal Technique·Wood Release·Super Tree Realm is born."

He and Hashirama are both responsible for greening the ninja world.

"What did you just say about me, a short-lived ghost?"

Looking at Minato, who was smiling on the spot, a great sense of panic arose in the hearts of all the star ninjas in front of him.
