Chapter 241: Deception
If he hadn't been so cautious as to deploy three layers of sticky syrup defenses, he would have been completely defeated.
Ninjas are full of surprises; carelessness is constant.
Seeing that his first blow fell short, the Third Hoshikage tried to continue his attack, but Sasuke did not give him another chance, unleashing an A-rank illusion.
"Walking in Darkness Jutsu!"
The Third Hoshikage instantly lost his vision and panicked.
At that moment, Sasuke lunged at the syrup defenses, propelled himself, and unleashed the Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu, adjusting his position and taking the opportunity to get closer to the Hoshikage.
"Mystical Peacock Technique: Guard!"
The Third Hoshikage, with his excellent combat instincts, immediately perceived the danger and focused his technique, forming a defense similar to that of a tailed beast.
"Monstrous Strength!"
Sasuke delivered a powerful punch, easily breaking through the defenses. Against this purely physical attack, the defense of the Mystical Peacock Technique, composed of pure chakra, was neutralized and shattered in a single blow.
Swoosh! The Third Hoshikage was instantly sent flying, transformed into a ray of light, and impacted the Poisonous Gas Valley.
With a dull thud, he crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Despite his age, the Third Hoshikage's vitality was immense. He lay in the crater, spitting blood, as his life faded away.
However, before dying, something strange began to happen to him. He began to decompose from the heart.
"Natural energy? Immortal technique!"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with doubt.
"Samehada: Chakra Healing!"
He quickly asked Samehada to help him heal, but he couldn't stop the Hoshikage's decay. Seeing that the decomposition was starting to spread to his neck, he finally gave up and condensed a chakra sword in his hand.
With a "whoosh," he cut off his head.
Just as he saved the head, the ninjas from the Star Village finally caught up to him.
"Thieves, Iwagakure ninjas, how dare you attack Lord Hoshikage!"
"Release Lord Hoshikage immediately or the Star Village will fight you to the death!"
A large number of Hoshikage ninjas surrounded the valley.
"Iwagakure ninjas?"
Upon hearing this, Sasuke was startled, and then his eyes lit up. Clearly, these ninjas had heard the Hoshikage's roar and witnessed the aerial battle. The Rock Fist Technique was not exclusive to Iwagakure, but the ability to float in the air was clearly the Light and Heavy Rock Technique. With the Hoshikage's personal testimony, they were immediately convinced that the invaders were from Iwa.
The Hoshigakure Blade Squad finally arrived. As soon as they put on their gas masks, they jumped into the Poisonous Valley and began to search the area.
"Hiding in Mist Technique!"
Instantly, a vast mist spread, enveloping almost the entire valley. These Hoshigakure ninjas were quite weak; against the silent assassination technique, they were completely defenseless and easily knocked unconscious.
Finally, realizing that something was wrong, they employed their Peacock Technique, flying out of the valley to escape the danger. In just a few minutes, they suffered heavy losses, and less than half managed to escape.
These ninjas should be grateful that they misunderstood him, confusing him with an Iwagakure ninja; otherwise, they would never have escaped. Despite their losses, they refused to give up, showing remarkable determination.
"Earth Style: Iron and Stone Stream!"
Sasuke unleashed a rain of stone bullets, delivering a barrage of devastating blows on the Star ninjas in the air. Unable to dodge, they were hit and fell.
"Secret Technique: Void Syrup Sticky Wall!"
To prevent them from falling to their deaths, Sasuke kindly controlled his syrup and caught them.
"It's the Rock Ninja!"
Seeing the numerous casualties and the imminent destruction of their village, the Star ninjas finally ceased their attack and returned to their village, beginning to pack their belongings.
Sasuke quickly performed a transformation jutsu, transforming into a Rock ninja. "Water Style: Water Healing Jutsu!" he healed and revived a well-positioned chunin.
"We have obtained the star, so we must clean up the battlefield and leave here as soon as possible," he muttered to himself, pretending to start cleaning up the battlefield.
After the awakened Star ninja saw his transformed appearance, he escaped from the valley and relayed the information to them. Seeing that the Star Ninja Village was still packing its bags, Sasuke didn't pay much attention to them, but instead teleported them one by one to the Angkor Fortress prison and imprisoned them.
After spending some time cleaning up the battlefield, he finally left and teleported back to the underground secret room of the Land of Waves.
