Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Chapter 253 Encounter with the Boy Named After Star (6)

Ningci understood this point very well, "It is indeed true."

The others agreed, but Sakura felt something was wrong. "Now is not the time to lament about these things. Although that thief stole the [Star], I still feel that something is wrong with the person who kidnapped Ang, but I can't think of where the mistake is for the time being."

"If there is one thing I doubt, it's that the man took Ang to Hell Valley, and the thief did fly over Hell Valley at that time... As a parent, would they really be so cruel as to let their child inhale poison gas? And since he stole the [Star], he must know the effect of the [Star] on the body. How could he risk doing such a thing?"

Although Ningci didn't know the inside story, he also expressed his doubts about this. "Indeed, that person doesn't look like the one I saw with the Byakugan before, and that person's trip to Hell Valley seems more like an attempt to divert our attention..."

Naruto looked at Sakura, and suddenly he was like a deflated ball, "But after all, that person also stole the Star..."

Tenten understood what Sakura meant, and thinking of those children who were about to die at such a young age, she couldn't help but say, "If there were no Stars, everyone wouldn't have to suffer for training."

Xiao Li nodded and said, "I think so too."

Naruto wanted to say something, but no matter what he said, it seemed that he would end up in a vicious circle. "With the Star, everyone will practice hard for the village, but this practice will damage their health. It's terrible! I'm so confused!"

Sakura looked at Naruto instead, "Naruto, do you think ninjas should take shortcuts?"

Naruto was stunned by the question, "Ah? That shouldn't be the case... Don't we all start with simple ninjutsu..."

Sakura nodded, "Any ninja needs to work hard day by day, and relying solely on external things to practice will definitely not last long."

Xiao Li was the most touched by Sakura's words. After all, he didn't have any chakra to learn ninjutsu and genjutsu. He could only practice persistently and learn physical skills... There was no shortcut, and not just him, but everyone present had relied on their own efforts to get to where they are today.

Neji leaned against the tree, "Although ninjas shouldn't take shortcuts, our mission is to protect the [Star]. Taking back the [Star] is our primary problem. What to do with it afterwards is not something we should interfere with."

These words also gave the others some energy. Neji looked at them and then arranged the tasks. "Lee, Tenten, you guys do another follow-up investigation of the village. They can fly, but they still flee into the dangerous Hell Valley. As Sakura said, there is indeed a world of difference in chakra between the person who took away the Star and the person who kidnapped Ang."

"So, there are actually two masked ninjas. In my opinion, there must be a hidden story behind this mission." Neji also expressed his guess, and then looked at Sakura, "Naruto, you take care of the wounded and investigate the whereabouts of Ang. Sakura, you and I will follow the village chief Akahoshi."

Just after arranging this matter, Neji and Sakura were about to go to the village chief when they saw two followers beside Akahoshi running up to them and said, "Greetings to all the Konoha reinforcements. The ninja who took away the Star has appeared. Lord Akahoshi is trying to hold him back. Please lend a hand."

Sakura and Neji both put away their kunai. After all, they had taken a defensive stance when the unknown chakra approached. However, since they were friendly forces, they could put them aside for the time being. "Without further ado, let's go."

"That person is very powerful. It is already the limit for Lord Chixing to hold him back by himself..."

------

Tiantian and Xiao Li arrived at a house first, but it was already empty and there was only a few breaths of air in the house. The place was so sparsely populated that it seemed even more suspicious.

After noticing someone, the two of them jumped onto the beam in unison, and looked at the medical staff standing below them for a long time, and couldn't help but frowned.

The medical staff just looked around, glanced at the report, and then scratched his head. "Forget it, let's talk about it later."

After watching the medical staff leave, Tiantian and Xiao Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they saw the person in the ward, they were both shocked. The person on the bed was none other than Ang who had been kidnapped!

At this moment, Ang was covered with instruments and his eyes were closed, making the two men at a loss as to what to do.

But this also means that the person who kidnapped Ang this time might be the village chief Chixing! If not, he must be involved!

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the medical room at that moment, Xiao Li and Tiantian hurriedly rescued Ang, and brought him to the wooden house next to the training ground, and told everyone in the Xingyin Ninja Village the truth.

Neji used his Byakugan to spot the man, "I see, that man is approaching Akahoshi."

At the critical moment, the kunai thrown by Sakura and Neji temporarily attracted the man's attention away from Akahoshi.

Although a frontal attack may not necessarily succeed, in order to manipulate the powerful chakra there will inevitably be some errors in the environment around the body.

Sakura decisively used the Shadow Clone Technique. Under the attraction of many clones, Sakura successfully came in front of the man and used the transformation technique to turn into stone.

While the man was busy controlling the chakra, Sakura gave him a few injections. When Sakura saw the face under the mask, she guessed that this person might be Ang's mother, so she didn't use much force.

"Sakura! Danger!"

Sakura had known for a long time that there was something wrong with this Akahoshi, but she really didn't take this level of Peacock Magic seriously.

He turned around and grabbed the chakra in beast form.

"What?" Seeing Akahoshi's confused expression, Sakura didn't bother to explain anymore and just launched a super-strong attack.

Chakra was thrown aside, and Chixing was also thrown out. "Excuse me, instead of relying on power that does not belong to you, you should focus more on your own practice."

Akahoshi's face was full of anger, and he looked at the two followers behind him. When he used the Peacock Technique again, the chakra beast form of Akahoshi ate the beast forms of the two people behind him, and thus became much stronger, but the price was that the two men fell directly to the ground.

"Hahahaha! Since you already know the truth, I shouldn't keep you here any longer!" Akahoshi laughed crazily. This time, no matter it was Xia Ri or these Konoha ninjas, none of them would survive!

When Sakura was about to take action, someone patted her shoulder and said, "This is a conflict within our Star Hidden Ninja Village. Let me take charge."
