Not far from Hoshigakure, Sasame dispelled the summoning jutsu. This was mainly because Ichikishimahime was too conspicuous. And they had already arrived at their destination, so they no longer needed a ride. After Ichikishimahime left, Sasame formed hand seals and entered Sage Mode. He didn't know Natsuhi's exact location, but he was certain she was near Hoshigakure. To avoid being discovered, she was probably located far beyond the range of regular sensory jutsu. However, Natsuhi didn't know about Sage Mode.
Sasame first sensed the situation in Hoshigakure. The number of ninjas was small, about fifty to sixty people, and more than half of them were genin. The overall strength was quite ordinary. If not for the so-called Star, it would probably be an obscure, small village. Soon, he sensed the presence of the Star. The meteorite gave off a familiar aura. He was certain it was from the Ōtsutsuki clan. In the original story, Natsuhi stole the Star. This was because the acting Hoshikage, Akahoshi, was having her son, Sora, train with it. But that hadn't happened yet. This was a good thing for Sasame. He could use this as a condition for cooperation.
His perception continued to expand, moving beyond Hoshigakure. A moment later, he noticed a valley with poisonous gas. The deeper he went, the denser it became. At the bottom of the valley, Sasame sensed an unusual chakra. It must be Natsuhi. She had absorbed the Star's power, causing her chakra to undergo a unique change; it was very active. At the same time, it faintly radiated some kind of radiation.
"Sister Kurenai, follow me." Sasame dispelled Sage Mode and walked north. Kurenai Yuhi immediately followed. Not long after, the two arrived at Hell Valley.
"Sister Kurenai, do you have a gas mask?" Sasame wasn't afraid because of his Sage Body, but Kurenai Yuhi was a different story.
"Yes," Kurenai Yuhi nodded, putting on a gas mask. Gas masks were a common item for ninjas. Because she was on a mission with Sasame, Kurenai Yuhi was fully prepared. Although she hadn't used many of her preparations. Hmm, mainly because she hadn't expected Ichikishimahime to be their ride.
Sasame jumped into the valley. Kurenai Yuhi instinctively looked alarmed. Because Sasame wasn't wearing a gas mask. Although he was very strong, he shouldn't be immune to poison, right? Thinking of this, she quickly followed him.
"Sasame, aren't you going to wear a mask?" Kurenai Yuhi said, holding out a gas mask.
"No need," Sasame said, his face showing a smile. He felt her concern. It seemed that his actions last night with the black cat hadn't changed her attitude towards him.
Natsuhi at the bottom of the valley immediately noticed them. She looked up and saw two unfamiliar ninjas. Sasame had no distinguishing marks, but Kurenai Yuhi was wearing a Konoha Village forehead protector. Natsuhi frowned, puzzled. Why were ninjas from Konoha Village here? She thought for a moment. No matter what, it was better to avoid them. But just as she was about to leave, she heard Sasame speak, and he called her by her name. Natsuhi's face showed vigilance. She looked at Sasame, who had no protection, and her chakra began to slowly flow. She was ready to attack.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"The Sixth Hokage, Sasame," Sasame said casually. "Have you heard of me?"
"I've heard a little," Natsuhi's heart skipped a beat, and she was even more confused. She had been living in the valley for a long time, but she would occasionally go out to buy supplies. She knew a little about Sasame's exploits. But why would such a famous person come to see her? Was it for the Star? But he should be going to Hoshigakure.
"I have no idea what Hokage-sama wants," Natsuhi said in a low voice. "I'm a rogue ninja. I probably can't help."
"Don't you want to return to Hoshigakure?" Sasame chuckled. "You should know Akahoshi's personality. Everyone will eventually cultivate the Star's power." Natsuhi fell silent. His words were not wrong. The Star's side effects would cause Hoshigakure to decline. That power was just the last gasp of madness. If she could, Natsuhi would not want to see Hoshigakure suffer. But the only question was, could she trust Konoha Village?
"If I really wanted to trick you, would I use such a troublesome method?" Sasame saw her worries and couldn't help but laugh. "Besides Akahoshi, there are no other formidable ninjas in Hoshigakure."
"..." Natsuhi's breathing hitched. She had no way to argue with him. Hoshigakure was too weak. This was a disaster. Natsuhi swallowed, her face filled with bitterness. "Hokage-sama, what do you plan to do?" she asked.
"Do you know how the Third Hoshikage died?" Sasame didn't wait for her to reply and gave her the answer directly. "It was Akahoshi."
"I knew it," Natsuhi's expression dimmed. She had suspected it before. The Third Hoshikage had intended to stop cultivating the Star, which was a completely different idea from Akahoshi's. In this situation, it made sense that he would take such a risk.
"We'll kill Akahoshi, and you will become the Fourth Hoshikage. How does that sound?" Sasame asked.
"Me?" Natsuhi finally understood why Sasame came to see her. This was his plan. But after thinking about it, it was quite reasonable. She was indeed the only one who didn't want Hoshigakure to continue this path. Natsuhi finally nodded.
"Let's go to Hoshigakure." Sasame saw her agreement and left the valley. Kurenai Yuhi and Natsuhi followed. Not long after, they arrived at Hoshigakure. Seeing her familiar village, Natsuhi took a deep breath. "I want to go see my son first," she said. She was worried that he would be affected by the upcoming fight.
Sasame nodded. "Leave Akahoshi to us. You can handle the rest." He had no intention of explaining anything. Natsuhi agreed and quietly entered Hoshigakure.
"What about us, Sasame?" Kurenai Yuhi asked, averting her gaze. "Should I inform Akahoshi of our presence as Konoha ninjas?"
"No need," Sasame shook his head. With a few leaps, he stopped in front of a house where the Star was kept.
"Who's there?" His presence was immediately discovered. Sasame was about to make a move when Kurenai Yuhi blocked his path.
Cherry Blossom Viewing Jutsu!
Kurenai Yuhi formed hand seals. The four Hoshigakure ninjas immediately froze. A moment later, they closed their eyes and fell backward. Her genjutsu might not work on someone like Itachi Uchiha, but it was a piece of cake to deal with a few ninjas from a small village.
Sasame walked past them and entered the house. He saw the meteorite. He immediately felt a sense of excitement. It was as if the meteorite was welcoming his arrival. With Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's help, he was gradually evolving into an Ōtsutsuki. So, it made sense that he would have this feeling. Sasame picked up the Star. A special energy flowed into his body. He raised an eyebrow and blocked it. The Star had side effects. He didn't want to test if it would affect his Sage Body. The safest way was to talk to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki first.
Just then, a fighting sound came from outside.
"Get out!" Akahoshi's body was surrounded by a purple chakra flow. With a thunderous roar, a giant dragon flew out from behind him. Kurenai Yuhi's face changed. A sense of immense danger washed over her. She quickly formed hand seals.
Illusion: False Clone!
A clone appeared and quickly merged with her.
"A cheap trick!" Akahoshi seemed unaffected by the genjutsu. He waved his hand. The giant dragon split into two, engulfing both Kurenai Yuhi's forms. The next moment, they were both submerged by the chakra flow.
Kurenai Yuhi felt a warm embrace.
"Are you okay, Sister Kurenai?" A familiar voice whispered in her ear.
"I'm fine," Kurenai Yuhi said, regaining her composure. She once again felt the powerlessness of genjutsu.
"Hand over the Star!" Akahoshi saw the meteorite in Sasame's hand and was enraged. "Die!" The purple aura around him once again transformed into a dragon. Sasame thought to himself, Even if I gave it to you, the Star itself wouldn't be willing.
"Be careful!" A female ninja covered in a chakra aura, like wings, flew towards them. It was Natsuhi. Sasame shook his head and threw a punch. The dragon shattered. He took a step forward and delivered a kick to Akahoshi.
Tōtenkyaku! A huge explosion. The ground cracked, and Akahoshi was buried up to his waist. The purple chakra also vanished. Natsuhi had just arrived. She looked at the dead Akahoshi, her eyes wide. She had already heard of Sasame's reputation, but she hadn't expected him to be this terrifying. She and Akahoshi were evenly matched. Sasame could probably defeat her just as easily. She was glad she had chosen to cooperate with him. Otherwise, she would have ended up like Akahoshi.
[Due to your actions, the fates of Akahoshi, Natsuhi, Sora, and Kurenai Yuhi have been changed. You have gained a total of 190 Destiny Value.]
The Destiny Halo's prompt rang out. It also included Kurenai Yuhi's fate. This showed that some changes were indeed going the way Sasame hoped.
"Hokage-sama," Natsuhi said, taking a deep breath. "What do you plan to do next?"
"That's your business," Sasame said casually. "Once you have Hoshigakure in order, send someone to Konoha Village." Natsuhi was a little astonished. She hadn't expected Sasame to be so nonchalant. He was clearly just after the Star.
Sasame and Kurenai Yuhi left Hoshigakure. He didn't plan to rush back.
"Black Cat," Sasame stopped and called. Yugito Nii immediately appeared and knelt. Kurenai Yuhi looked at her. She remembered the scene from last night. A blush crept onto her face.
"I'll take you all back with my Flying Thunder God Jutsu," Sasame explained. The three of them vanished. When they reappeared, they were already in the Hokage's Office. Yugito Nii disappeared immediately.
"Sister Kurenai," Sasame said, sitting on the sofa. "I'm a little tired from the fight. Can I get a massage?"
Kurenai Yuhi knew he wasn't tired. She sat in front of him and patted her lap. "Lie down." Sasame immediately rested his head on her voluptuous thighs. Although they weren't as soft as Tsunade's, they were still very good. Kurenai Yuhi reached out her fair fingers and began to massage his forehead. She looked at him and felt a little sour. "Why don't you ask your black cat to do this?" she asked. She was inadvertently revealing that she had spied on him last night.
"She's not as good as you," Sasame looked up at her. The clothes on her body blocked a third of his vision, but he could still clearly see her expression. If it were Tsunade, he would have no way of doing this. Ahem. Sasame said softly, "She's just a bodyguard. In my heart, she can't compare to you, Sister Kurenai."
Scumbag! Kurenai Yuhi wanted to bite him to vent her anger. But she didn't dare. She could only sulk. She subconsciously increased the pressure of her fingers. But it didn't hurt Sasame at all.
"Sister Kurenai," Sasame looked at her. "We can start the cultivation of the Star in a few days."
"Okay," Kurenai Yuhi said in a muffled voice.
"Once you succeed, how about you become a Hokage advisor?" Sasame asked casually. Kurenai Yuhi was stunned. The Hokage's secretary was a high-ranking position, but it wasn't a real one. Her power came entirely from the Hokage. But the Hokage advisor was different. It was a real high-ranking position. Even if Sasame were to step down, she would still have her position. Just like Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. As long as she didn't do anything wrong, she could hold the position until she was old.
"Can... can I do that?" Kurenai Yuhi asked hesitantly.
"Of course you can," Sasame waved his hand. "With me here, no one would dare to say anything." Kurenai Yuhi's heart trembled. Her feelings for Sasame became even more complicated. This guy is truly... a scumbag. Kurenai Yuhi knew what he was doing. But it was hard for her to refuse.
Sasame enjoyed the massage for about half an hour, then he grabbed Kurenai Yuhi's hand. "Sister Kurenai, thank you." Kurenai Yuhi looked at him and asked, "If I become a Hokage advisor, who will be the secretary?"
"You, of course," Sasame stood up and stretched. "I'm not used to anyone else."
"Then you have to pay me more," Kurenai Yuhi snorted, a smile on her face.
"No problem," Sasame leaned in and kissed her face. "I'll give you a few hundred million." Kurenai Yuhi was startled by his sudden attack. She glared at him. "If I really asked for a few hundred million, would you give it to me?"
