Nohara Yi looked at her, half-believing, but still very nervous and afraid. She didn't know if Natsuhi could really defeat a group of Star Ninja. If it were just her, she wouldn't be so nervous. After all, if she died, she wouldn't be a burden to anyone. But Natsuhi was here to help her, so she really didn't want her to get hurt or have any accidents.
"Grrr..." Just then, the trees in front of them began to shake, and the ground began to tremble slightly. A series of hissing sounds could be heard. "This is a Kage-level powerhouse. They must have been training with the Star for a long time," Natsuhi said faintly.
"A long time? Th-then we should really go now! I really don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want you to die here with me. Or maybe you should escape first, and I'll hold them off. That way, maybe you'll still have a chance to get out alive!" Nohara Yi said in a panic.
Natsuhi smiled. "You don't have to be so nervous or afraid. With me here, I promise you'll be fine. We'll both be alright. Besides, even if we tried to run now, we couldn't get away. It has already locked onto us. A Star Ninja's strength is extraordinary. Once it has locked onto its prey, it's almost impossible to escape, unless you are stronger than it. But don't worry, my strength is above its. We'll be fine."
Just as she finished speaking, a huge creature emerged from the forest in front of them. "Ringo Ameyuri?" Nohara Yi's eyes widened in terror.
In front of them, a ninja carrying a pair of short swords was advancing towards them. Wherever it passed, the ground shook, and trees were easily crushed. It was emitting a faint green glow, which, if she guessed correctly, was a type of chakra. Such a terrifyingly huge creature would scare anyone into a cold sweat. Nohara Yi was so scared she was dumbfounded, her body trembling, cold sweat instantly breaking out. She had never thought that the legendary Star Ninja would be so massive.
It was then that she realized her plan to come up the mountain alone to complete this mission was simply wishful thinking. At this moment, she felt so small, smaller than an ant. How could she fight such a huge creature? It was completely out of her league.
Kusuo was also a little surprised. So Orochimaru could even implant the power of the Star into the reanimated bodies. No wonder he hadn't been able to find the broken Star last time. But unlike Natsuhi, he wasn't panicked at all. In fact, his eyes held a hint of excitement. "What a behemoth. The Star Fragment inside it must be very large," Natsuhi said with excitement.
When Ringo Ameyuri saw her, she suddenly stopped. She began to size her up, a hint of surprise in her eyes. It was as if she could sense that the woman standing in front of her was no ordinary person. It was as if she had a bad premonition.
"Screech!" Suddenly, Ringo let out a strange, loud cry and then accelerated, charging towards the two of them. "It's coming, it's coming!" Nohara Yi cried out in terror.
"You stand here and don't move. I'll go and deal with it!" After entrusting her, Natsuhi's toes pushed off the ground, and her whole body soared into the air. Then, she grasped her chakra sword, her body suspended in mid-air. The gentle breeze blew through her clothes. At this moment, she did not reveal her own power and spiritual energy, because she was afraid that if she did, she would scare Ringo away. She had to control her chakra at all times. Only then could this Ringo become her prey.
At this moment, Ringo accelerated. At the same time, the glow on its body became more intense. A powerful chakra emanated from its body, instantly giving Nohara Yi a sense of oppression. She quickly hid behind a large tree.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Then, Ringo quickly formed hand seals. "Water Style! Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" A huge water dragon shot towards Natsuhi's body.
"Big Sister Natsuhi!" Nohara Yi immediately looked at Kusuo anxiously.
"Don't worry. It's fine," he said, standing in place unhurriedly.
Although Ringo didn't have her ninja swords at the moment, her ninjutsu skills were still not to be underestimated. "Mysterious Peacock Method!" Instantly, Natsuhi's body was engulfed in flaming chakra.
Kusuo closed his eyes and carefully sensed the Star chakra within Ringo. Instantly, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
