Hoshigakure.
"What's the situation? Has Natsu been found?"
"I don't know. The Star Shadow suddenly gathered us, saying there's a major announcement to be made."
"Even you don't know?"
"Could it be that Natsu's child, Sumaru, has been caught?"
"Impossible. If he were caught, Natsu would have come out long ago."
The whole Village was bustling with the sounds of discussion.
Just now, the Acting Star Shadow, Akahoshi, gathered all the Ninja who were searching for Natsu.
It was truly baffling.
If Natsu really returned, there should have been a huge commotion.
After all, Natsu is the most talented Ninja Hoshigakure has seen in a hundred years.
A Ninja who could practice the Mysterious Peacock Method to its limit.
If she hadn't killed the previous Star Shadow and defected from the Village, she should be the Star Shadow by now.
However, those in the know all knew that Natsu's assassination of the Third Hoshikage was strange.
After all, even if it was as she claimed—that Hoshigakure's Star is harmful to the human body—she still shouldn't have assassinated the Star Shadow.
In the shadows of the Village, a red-haired woman poked her head out, watching the bustling residents and Ninja discussing.
"What is Akahoshi trying to do now? Is he going to do something detrimental to Hoshigakure?"
Her heart felt heavy.
She didn't understand what Akahoshi meant by stopping the Ninja from searching for her and instead gathering the Ninja and residents.
Just then, the man who made her heart heavy appeared from a distance.
Two guards followed closely behind him.
"Yotaka, Shizuma... Akahoshi, you killed the Third Hoshikage, you will surely pay the price."
Those three, who had put her, her husband, and her son on the opposite side of Hoshigakure, made her eyes fill with hatred.
What worried her most were the deceived residents.
"That is..."
A cloaked figure appeared in her sight.
The figure lowered its hood, revealing a white-haired old man inside.
"Could it be that Akahoshi wants to sell out Hoshigakure?
The Land of Bears will not let you off."
Natsu was already prepared to perish together with him to expose Akahoshi's intentions.
Just then, the old man formed hand seals, saying something; she only felt a flash of light before her eyes.
Having learned lip-reading, four words vaguely appeared: "History Revision."
"What's going on? Why am I here?
That... that's the projection of the First Generation Star Shadow. To resolve the conflict in Hoshigakure,
He actually returned from the Pure Land."
Natsu felt ashamed in her heart seeing that figure.
"I was too selfish; I shouldn't have taken the Star away. Whether to practice the Mysterious Peacock Method is a personal choice,
If the power of the Star is lost, it might be even more harmful than the Star itself,
Then Hoshigakure would have no power to resist..."
Her eyes filled with shame, and then she took out the sealed Star, slowly walking towards the First Generation Star Shadow... "Lord First Generation Star Shadow, your appearance makes us ashamed,
From now on, our Hoshigakure will surely be united and friendly,
Resisting foreign enemies together, and not failing the Star Shadow's efforts."
The residents of the entire Hoshigakure, including the Ninja, seemed to have experienced many things; they gathered here this time to respond to the First Generation Star Shadow's summons.
For a moment, the sounds of repentance in Hoshigakure were endless.
Satoru lowered his hands from the seal, a satisfied smile on his face.
And he ordered Akahoshi to hand over the position of Star Shadow to Natsu.
And Akahoshi and the other Ninja would exist as Natsu's Anbu to protect the Star Shadow.
At the same time, he gave Natsu a mission: to collect information on an organization that might exist in the Land of Bears, without alerting them, and to pass the intelligence to him.
And handed her a scroll.
It contained his contact information.
Finally, Satoru disappeared from Hoshigakure, and the Village returned to a peaceful state.
A few days later.
A young boy wearing a Hoshigakure forehead protector returned from the outside.
Seeing his mother ascending to the position of Star Shadow with Akahoshi and others as guards, he was dumbfounded.
"What's going on? How did my mom become the Star Shadow?"
Sumaru didn't expect that after going out to personally ask his mother why she assassinated the Star Shadow and defected from Hoshigakure,
When he returned, his mother was already the Star Shadow of Hoshigakure.
Even Akahoshi and the other Jonin were very respectful.
He expressed doubt regarding the 'First Generation Star Shadow's projection' they spoke of.
The First Generation Star Shadow had been dead for nearly two hundred years; how could he appear again?
However, no matter how he questioned them, the people in the Village remained steadfast and even tried to brainwash him.
"The people of the Village must have all fallen under a large-scale Ninjutsu,
Or it's the Star's fault, causing everyone to have issues."
In the end, Sumaru could only make such a speculation.
What he was more willing to believe was that it was the Star's problem, rather than the whole Village being possessed and firmly believing that the First Generation Star Shadow would appear again.
After all, how could such a Ninjutsu exist?
He steeled his heart, determined to find out the problem... "I thought the move 'History Revision' wouldn't be very useful to me,
I didn't expect it to still be useful. Why didn't I think of it back then?"
Satoru walked out of Hoshigakure and arrived at the capital of the Land of Bears, thinking while drinking tea.
In the end, it still had to be used.
Hundreds of Ninja in Hoshigakure, under his single move, were all injected with the memories he had woven.
It was as if he had directly turned Hoshigakure into his own hidden Village.
At the same time, he felt that there are no useless Ninjutsu, only environments where they haven't been used.
Using Genjutsu abilities to extend his tentacles and expand his intelligence network was something he had been doing before.
It's just that it was rare to cast Genjutsu on an entire hidden Village like today.
"This kind of control, playing with lives in the palm of one's hand, is truly addictive!"
Satoru knew this was wrong.
However, this clone of his did not leave the Land of Bears; he planned to stay there permanently and patrol continuously.
Until his Chakra was exhausted or the main body released it... Not just the clone in the Land of Bears.
Satoru's figures began to roam all over the Ninja World under different identities.
Collecting all information related to the Kara organization.
It was truly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Especially the scientific research forces of various large and small countries.
They were his primary search targets.
After all, that guy named Amado is a scientist; there must be a connection.
Amado
Definitely not for stealing the scientific research achievements of various forces.
In the Land of Silence, the Land of Valleys... and the ruins of the disappeared Takumi Village, Satoru's figure would appear.
He controlled many forces, but the strength of these forces was too poor.
They might not be able to sense the existence of the Kara organization, so he could only go out in person using Shadow Clones.
He also knew that his future self must have thought of it, and telling him to act as usual was probably because he knew, or had already tried looking.
He just hadn't found them.
But by his nature, he still felt that the existence of the Kara organization was too dangerous.
Work hard...
