Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 148: Journey to the Land of Ghosts

"Oh ho ho~ This is spot on! I declare Naruto the winner!"

Jiraiya excitedly gave Uzumaki Naruto two thumbs up.

"Oh, oh, oh~ See, Konohamaru, this is the real seduction technique~"

Uzumaki Naruto said this smugly, completely unaware of how horrible Sakura Haruno's face looked behind him.

"Where are the roads!!!"

Sakura Haruno rushed to Uzumaki Naruto in one step and then punched the cool beauty.

"Oh!"

This is the sound of the seduction spell being lifted.

"Oh!"

This was the sound of Uzumaki Naruto being knocked against the wall by Haruno Sakura's punch.

Hiss~ This strange power is exactly the same as Tsunade’s.

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto embedded in the wall, Jiraiya couldn't help but take a breath.

"Naruto!"

Sakura Haruno clenched her fists and walked towards Uzumaki Naruto, raising her hand to pull Uzumaki Naruto down from the wall.

"Well, well, that Sakura..."

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Haruno Sakura in panic, nervousness and trembling.

Sakura Haruno was looking at Uzumaki Naruto and was about to get angry when she suddenly heard the sound of something falling.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Uzumaki Kushina standing in a daze not far away, with various ingredients scattered on the ground.

"Jiu, Jiu, Jiuzhina! No, listen to my explanation, this, this, this is not what I taught you!"

Jiraiya said in a panic.

"Jiraiya, teacher!!!"

The black hair flew up without wind, like a swaying fox tail.

"Wait! Kushin, not Kuchino, listen to my explanation, explain!"

Jiraiya shouted and then ran away like the wind.

"Stop right there! Teacher Jiraiya! What did you promise me three years ago!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto and Kushina rolled up their sleeves and decided to "repay" Jiraiya.

So scary, so scary. I must never make Sister Jiuzhina angry again.

Uzumaki Naruto thought while trembling.

Due to the interruption of Uzumaki Kushina and Jiraiya, Haruno Sakura was unable to beat Uzumaki Naruto for the time being.

So, Haruno Sakura could only make threats.

"Naruto, if I see you misleading others again, I will punish you severely."

Haruno Sakura said as she let go of Uzumaki Naruto.

"Come on, I'll take you to report to Lady Tsunade."

Haruno Sakura said this and took Uzumaki Naruto to the Hokage.

On the other side, Pain summoned all members of the Akatsuki organization and started the Tailed Beast Plan they had been preparing for a long time.

"Deidara, Sasori and the other two have already gone to the Kingdom of Wind. Everyone, please get ready. Sealing the tailed beasts will take a long time and require a measurement of chakra. I don't want any accidents to happen along the way."

Payne calmly scanned the surrounding projections.

"Yes!"

Are we about to start...?

Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes, thinking about what to do next.

Uchiha Shisui clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves and glanced into the darkness.

Wait a little longer, the power of these eyes must be used at the right time.

The next day, Uchiha Xing disguised his identity and waited for Uchiha Sasuke and others to arrive.

Since this time, Uchiha Sasuke and his companions had to carry out the mission under the name of the Hidden Rain Village, they had to do some disguise.

But when he saw "Quan Zi" waiting for them in the mission hall, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"You are finally here, Xiao Zuo, Xiao Qing."

Uchiha Xing shook his arms happily.

"Izumi Jounin?"

Seeing Uchiha Star like this, Hyuga Neji remembered that it was this ninja who induced him to defect from Konoha three years ago.

Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't seen her for three years since I joined the Rain Kingdom.

"That's the teacher."

Uchiha Sasuke whispered to Hyuga Neji beside him, raising his hand to adjust the special goggles on his face.

"Hey?"

Hyuga Neji was stunned for a moment when he heard what Uchiha Sasuke said.

So it was the teacher who came to poach me personally?!

"Teacher! I'm not late!"

Karin ran in at this time, looked around, and then saw Uchiha Xing and the others who had not set off yet, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Karin, why are you here?"

Uchiha Xing looked at Karin with some confusion.

"Hey! Didn't the teacher say that we were going to the Land of Demons to do an escort mission? My perception ability is pretty good, and I want to help too."

Karin said, her eyes sweeping over Uchiha Sasuke.

"Oh~"

Uchiha Xing's gaze moved back and forth between Uchiha Sasuke and Karin.

"Okay, follow me, Xiaozuo, Xiaoqing, let's go!"

Uchiha Xing said with full energy.

"Yes."

Then, under the leadership of Uchiha Xing, everyone headed towards the Land of Demons.

However, the Demon Country is quite far from the Rain Country, and one needs to pass through several countries on the way. The Demon Country is in the north of the Wind Country. If you are lucky, you can even see the battle of the Akatsuki organization.

Although Uchiha Xing really wanted to watch from the front row, considering the actual situation, Uchiha Xing did not take the road to the Wind Country, but chose to pass through other countries to the Demon Country.

Along the way, Uchiha Xing was not in a hurry. He tried to conserve his strength. It took them several days to finally arrive at the Land of Demons.

"Is this the Land of Demons? The name sounds scary, but it seems to be similar to Konoha."

Karin looked around and spoke casually.

"How should I put it? The Demon Country is more conservative. Unlike the five major countries, they worship ninjas. They generally worship Yin-Yang sorcerers. The leader is still the shrine maiden of the country. It is rumored that the shrine maiden of the Demon Country has the ability to seal monsters. A long time ago, a monster appeared and destroyed everything around it. People had no way to kill it. Finally, the shrine maiden of the Demon Country stood up and sealed it in the Swamp Country."

Uchiha Xing was talking about the country of demons.

"A witch?"

Karin felt a little curious about the person who ruled this country.

After a long time, Uchiha Xing brought Uchiha Sasuke and the other two to the place where Shiwan was meeting guests.

"Hello, Miss Shiwan. I am the leader of this commissioned mission, Izumi. These are my apprentices, Karin, Saeko, and Koharu."

Uchiha Xing introduced himself to Shiwan above him.

"Look up."

Shiwan stared at Uchiha Xing, then walked down from above and looked at Uchiha Xing's face carefully.

Hmm? Could it be that she also wants...

Ashio, who was kneeling on the side and waiting, set his sights on Uchiha Xing.

That person in the dream... does that mean that I can finally deal with that guy?

"Miss Aster, what can I do for you?"

Uchiha Xing asked with a smile.

"I dreamt about you in my dream."

Shion said as she raised her hand and gently stroked Uchiha Xing's face.

"Um... well, I don't like women, and I have a husband."

Uchiha Xing silently took a step back and looked at Shiwan very vigilantly.

Um.......

"Do I look like someone who likes women?"

Aster said this with a look of disgust on her face and took several steps back.

"Hmm? When did the teacher get married???"

Karin looked at Uchiha Star in confusion.

"It happened a long time ago. Hmm~ Wait a year, and I'll let you meet your master's wife. She's very pretty."

When talking about her husband, Uchiha Xing still feels very proud.

It happened a long time ago? Could it be that the teacher had raped a decent man while on a long-term mission, and the man didn't want the teacher to leave, so the teacher faked his death and escaped, returning to the Rain Country.

Karin's mind was filled with imagination, and the story of a bad girl deceiving an innocent boy instantly came to her mind.

Uchiha Xing didn't know what Karin was thinking. He simply discussed it with Shiwan and then decided to provide escort.

At night, it was Hyuga Neji's turn to keep watch.

Hyuga Neji stood on a high place, formed seals with his hands, opened his Byakugan, and observed the surroundings with 360-degree vision.

Time passed by minute by minute, and when it was almost time for Hyuga Neji and Karin to change shifts, Hyuga Neji suddenly saw something approaching.

"what is that!"

Hyuga Neji frowned slightly, then focused all his attention forward.

Soon, Hyuga Neji saw the other party's situation clearly.

"not good!"

Hyuga Neji said as he quickly jumped down to wake up Uchiha Xing and the others.

"What's wrong."

Uchiha Xing asked, looking at Hyuga Neji in front of him.

"Teacher, a thousand meters away, there are countless stone elephants walking towards this side."

Hyuga Neji told Uchiha Star what he saw.

"Sasuke, Karin, get up and work."

Uchiha Xing said as he flexed his wrist.

"Yes!"

"In order to prevent the other party from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, Karin, you and Sasuke protect Miss Shiwan. Neji and I will go to the front to stop them from entering the capital of the Demon Kingdom."

Uchiha Xing quickly assigned the tasks.

"Yes!"

Uchiha Xing and Hyuga Neji quickly left and went to the border of the capital of the Demon Kingdom to help clear out the stone men.

Relying on large-scale ninjutsu, Uchiha Xing and Hyuga Neji easily destroyed it.

When the sky brightened, Uchiha Xing and Hyuga Neji smashed many stone men.

Perhaps the controller realized that the method of relying on stone men to attack the Demon Country and kill the priestess was not feasible, so the other party sought to make the stone men attacking the Demon Country retreat and instead advance towards the Swamp Country.

The stone man's movements were so loud that they soon attracted the attention of other countries.

The Swamp Country sent a call for help to Konoha as quickly as possible, and asked Konoha to safely send the Demon Country priestess to the sealed place and seal the monsters.

On the other side, after confirming that the monster had broken the seal, Aster prepared to head towards the Swamp Country.

"Ms. Shiwan, please allow me to go to the Swamp Country with you."

Zuho looked at Shiwan seriously.

"no!"

Aster firmly refused.

"Lord Ziyuan, I am your personal guard. Wherever you are, I will be there."

Hibiki said firmly.

"Really? I said, no, no! Since you are my guard, you should listen to me."

Aster protested.

"Ms. Aster, this is the only thing that won't work."

Hibiki said firmly.

"You stupid!"

Aster was so angry that she stamped her feet.

"Miss Aster, did you also dream about my death scene?"

Zuho's words made Shiwan silent for a moment, then she turned her head and said, "That's not the case."

"Ms. Ziyuan, I am not afraid of death. I just want to protect you, even if it means death."

Zuho said this very seriously.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!"

Shiwan said angrily, then turned to look at Uchiha Xing who was eating melons on the side.

"Hey! Quanzi, right? Take me away now, immediately."

Shion said, pointing at Uchiha Hoshi.

Uchiha Xing shrugged slightly, then walked towards Shiwan and raised his hand to pick her up.

"Wait a moment!"

Ashio called out to Uchiha Xing, wanting them to wait for her.

"I'm sorry, I only listen to my client."

Uchiha Xing said, and left quickly with Shiwan in his arms.

Uchiha Sasuke and the other two immediately followed.

"Ms. Aster!"

Ashio wanted to catch up with the Uchiha Stars, but the four Uchiha Stars were too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ms. Aster!!!!"

Zuho yelled anxiously.

At the same time, the people sent by Wuliang also arrived at the Kingdom of Ghosts.

On the other side, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Rock Lee, led by Nara Shikamaru, were about to reach the edge of the Demon Country.

Uchiha Xing and Shiwan kept rushing towards the Swamp Country, and Shiwan hugged Uchiha Xing's neck tightly.

"Too fast! Slow down! Slow down!!!"

Aster kept roaring.

"Can you please keep your voice down? My ears are going deaf."

As Uchiha Xing spoke, he changed from carrying her in a princess hug to carrying her on his shoulders, and raised his hand to rub her suffering ears.

"what!!!!"

Looking at the tree trunk that was getting closer and farther away, Aster couldn't help but scream.

"My eyes are dizzy, my head is dizzy, my stomach feels uncomfortable, I want to vomit, ugh!"

Aster felt her stomach churning.

"Wait! Don't vomit yet, don't vomit on me!!!"

"Well!"

Uchiha Xing raised his hand, grabbed the back of Shiwan's collar and pulled her up.

Then he jumped to the ground and let Aster hold the tree to vomit.

"Wow!!!"

Ziyuan retched for a long time but nothing came out and his face was very pale.

"well enough."

Uchiha Xing handed over some water and asked Shiyuan to rinse her mouth and press it down.

Ziyuan took the water, rinsed her mouth thoroughly, and leaned against the tree weakly.

"I say, can we not go so fast?"

Aster said weakly.

"Okay, I'll try to go slow."

Uchiha Hoshi said as he moved closer to Shion.

"Wait! I want to change people!"

When Shiwan saw Uchiha Xing approaching and thought of the suffering she had just endured, she was determined to change people.

"Okay, pick one."

Uchiha Xing was very easy to talk to and let Shiwan choose someone she thought was suitable.

Aster looked around and saw the dull boy wearing goggles, the sultry boy wearing a mask, and the girl who looked sunny and bright. Aster quickly made a decision.

"I chose her to carry me."

Shiwan pointed at Karin and said.

"Karin, I'm counting on you."

Uchiha Xing waved to Karin and asked Karin to carry Shion.

"Come up."

Karin walked towards Shiwan, then turned her back and let Shiwan come up.

Shiwan didn't say anything, she just lay on Karin's back and put her arms around Karin's neck.

Karin carried Shion on her back and continued to follow Uchiha Star.
