Naruto: Awakening Eternal Power with My Eye Techniques

Chapter 96: The Star Ninja Village and the "Star"



Meanwhile, Shiyu Uchiha hadn't let up on his sword technique training. After all, he didn't know how the secret jutsu cultivation would turn out—but with sword techniques, even without any special opportunities, hard practice over a few years could elevate him to Kage-level strength.

He traveled along the border of the Land of Earth. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he only passed through small countries, deliberately staying away from the Land of Earth itself—and never approaching its border too closely.

Heading westward, he first passed through the Land of Hot Water. He wasn't particularly interested in its famous Hero Water or the Seven-Tails, so he didn't stop—he didn't even get near the Hidden Waterfall Village, simply bypassing it entirely.

Then, Shiyu Uchiha entered the Grass Country. Out of curiosity about Uzumaki Ka Rin's mother from the original story, he actually sneaked into the Village of the Hidden Grass for a quick visit, spending considerable time there. In the end though, he found nothing—clearly, she hadn't arrived yet. Thus, he had no choice but to abandon the search and continue onward.

As he pressed forward, Shiyu crossed through Ame and the Land of Birds, finally reaching the Land of Kuma. He was now very close to his target destination—the Star Ninja Village.

Along this journey, he witnessed numerous tragedies among ordinary people. Whenever possible, he helped out, but for other problems, he simply tried not to see them, pretending ignorance. Yet somehow, a sudden surge of unexplained anger rose deep in his chest, ready to explode.

In the end, he suppressed it. At present, his power in the ninja world barely allowed him to survive with difficulty. Before meddling in others' affairs, he believed he should first strengthen himself—not necessarily aiming for invincibility, but at least ensuring his own safety.

Then, he needed to settle matters concerning the Uchiha Clan, resolve issues back in the village, and only after that would he deal with problems across the ninja world.

This aligned precisely with the ancient Confucian saying from his past life: "To cultivate oneself, regulate one's household, govern the state, and bring peace to the world."

Of course, along the way, he also encountered Iwa-nin and Sand-nin. But these were just minor figures—no strong opponents. Shiyu killed them outright, using them as an outlet for his frustration.

Since he was now near his destination, Shiyu spent a few days calming his mind and reviewing what he'd gained on this journey. By now, he had completely mastered the theory, and had begun actual practice.

Unfortunately, lacking guidance from experienced predecessors, he could only feel his way forward like crossing a river by feeling for stones. This often left Shiyu cursing furiously before falling asleep each night—with extremely vulgar language, too. Yet, for his own safety's sake, he never mentioned names.

Reflecting once again upon his goal, he recalled the description of the "star" within the Star Ninja Village from the original storyline. According to legend, there was a meteorite in the village said to have fallen two hundred years ago. Worshipped as a sacred object, this meteorite had given the village its name—"The Star Ninja Village."

What Shiyu didn't realize was that this fragment of the Ten-Tails likely came from the Moon during the conflict between the main house and branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan. Awakening the Tenseigan released residual energy that shattered part of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. The statue had been sealed on the Moon. This broken piece had wandered endlessly through space until two hundred years ago, when it fell from the sky, landing here. It was then discovered by the founder of the Star Ninja Village.

Moreover, the ninjas in this village cultivate under the radiation of the Ten-Tails fragments, which can awaken their latent potential. Their chakra doesn't just increase significantly—it also becomes more active.

The village even produced a genius in recent years who developed a unique secret jutsu called [Kujaku] based on these physical changes.

[Kujaku] helps Star Ninja Village shinobi activate their chakra more quickly and easily control it to perform shape transformations, morphing into various animal forms for attacking, defending, or even flying. However, during the transformation or while in beast form, they cannot use other ninja techniques.

Additionally, although the radiation from the meteorite enhances the potential of ninja and greatly boosts their chakra levels, it causes severe physical damage that could even be fatal. As shown in the original storyline, medical ninjas at Tsunade's level are capable of curing such injuries.

However, due to limited knowledge, the Star Ninja were unaware of this fact, so they eventually abandoned the training altogether.

In Shiyu Uchiha's opinion, the Star Ninja did not stand out during the Great Ninja World War mainly because of two reasons: one was their remote location, which meant they weren't situated on the battlefield of major nations; the second reason was that before [Kujaku] was developed, their power level was insufficient. Shortly after the technique's creation, it was discontinued due to serious side effects. Since then, after stopping the training, the combat ability of the Star Ninja has returned to normal levels, significantly weakened compared to before, leaving them unprepared for large-scale battles.

But this ensured that the Star Ninja's powers didn't leak into the ninja world. Otherwise, many unscrupulous individuals—such as Danzo Shimura and Cloud-nin who loved collecting secret techniques—would certainly target them without hesitation, even going as far as wiping them out completely.

Shiyu Uchiha came to the Land of Kuma to uncover and obtain the "Star" used by the Star Ninja Village. If possible, he intended to gain flight abilities through its power. Before the Fourth Great Ninja War, the ability to fly was extremely rare, making it an excellent survival trump card for the upcoming Third Great Ninja War.

According to what Shiyu Uchiha knew, currently aside from Onoki of Iwa-nin and the Third Kazekage who could fly, the most famous method in the ninja world was none other than [Kujaku]—the most accessible one for him to acquire.

Furthermore, Shiyu Uchiha wanted to use the mysterious "Star" to amplify his personal power—a force previously unknown to the wider ninja world. But rationally speaking, even at this point in the original story, the strongest ninja in the Star Ninja Village, Haru Hoshizora, was merely a particularly skilled tokubetsu jonin specializing in flight. Without considering flight capabilities, she wasn't much in Shiyu Uchiha's eyes—someone he could easily eliminate whenever necessary.

Therefore, right now, there were two things Shiyu Uchiha needed to accomplish: obtain the Star and learn [Kujaku].

Acquiring the Star wasn't difficult; once he located it, for someone of Shiyu Uchiha's strength, obtaining it wouldn't be a problem. As for [Kujaku], Shiyu Uchiha planned to extract the secrets through the hypnotic power of his Sharingan. Thinking about it made him slightly excited—he would finally have the chance to put Genjutsu into real action.

Thus, when Shiyu Uchiha arrived near the Star Ninja Village, he found a place to wait until nightfall before changing into his stealth gear, intending to infiltrate.

I was thinking about summoning Saya to help, but given how she's been lately, I was afraid she'd do more harm than good. I'll just have to bear it myself.

Shiyu Uchiha easily infiltrated the Star Ninja Village by relying on the Insight ability of his Sharingan. After all, even though the village was large, the night patrols were just Chunin-level ninjas. How could they possibly detect someone like Shiyu who had mastered the Shifting Body Technique? They hadn't noticed a thing.

Shiyu Uchiha wandered around the village. He hadn't started asking anyone for information yet, but through the bloodline link between his Sharingan and the Ten-Tails, he effortlessly sensed an immensely powerful life force—sparse, yet incredibly strong. This overwhelming energy filled his body with an intense craving, like a superhero spotting a tiny monster.
