NOVEL WEB Chapter 97: Robbery
Shiyu Uchiha immediately suspected it was related to the "Hoshizora" of the star ninja village. In his mind, he firmly believed that the object must have a strong connection with the Ten-Tails—perhaps it was even a fragment of the Ten-Tails.
This gave him another reason to seize the "Hoshizora," so, confident in his skills, he boldly approached the secret chamber and lay in wait nearby.
Not long afterward, Shiyu Uchiha saw a star ninja with light purple hair exit from the hidden room. Immediately, he followed. After they reached a secluded corner, Shiyu instantly subdued the ninja with light purple hair and hypnotized him using his Sharingan Genjutsu.
After some questioning, Shiyu Uchiha not only gained information about the "Hoshizora" but also acquired part of Kūjaku's techniques. However, according to what the star ninja revealed, if he wanted the complete set, only The Third Hoshikage currently had it in the village.
Additionally, Shiyu Uchiha learned that there were now only two guards left inside the secret chamber. Thus, fueled by his own confidence in his strength, he abandoned his initial plan of just gathering intel and decided to take the "Hoshizora" directly.
Then, Shiyu Uchiha used Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself as The Third Hoshikage. Earlier while scouting around the village, he had observed this person's face, then once again used Genjutsu to control the same star ninja before proceeding together toward the secret training chamber where the "Hoshizora" was kept.
The star ninja, having lived too long in peace, had long forgotten about danger. While the Kūjaku method granted them strong direct combat abilities, their other skills were seriously lacking. At this time in the Ninja World, there was still no single Ninjutsu capable of handling everything.
So, taking advantage of the two guards' carelessness, Shiyu took them out—knocking them unconscious instead of killing them outright. After all, he still had at least some small sense of moral boundaries, albeit just a tiny bit.
Finally, controlling that star ninja with light purple hair, he arrived near the "Hoshizora." As Shiyu activated his Sharingan, he felt an increasing pull, as if he were staring at a feast laid out before him. However, through sheer willpower, he quickly wrestled back control and buried those feelings deep inside using his meditation technique.
Next, combining his Sharingan perception with solid knowledge of Sealing Techniques, Shiyu successfully removed the seal protecting the "Hoshizora" in no time.
Then, Shiyu Uchiha retrieved from his Storage Scroll a box imbued with a sealing technique and ordered that star ninja with light purple hair to bring the "Hoshizora" over. He noticed what looked like a fairly complex mechanism below, but he couldn't be bothered to figure it out or disable it.
Once the ninja with light purple hair took out the "Hoshizora," sure enough, the hidden trap was triggered. Instantly, as soon as the "Hoshizora" was taken away, Shiyu made the ninja toss it to him, and he immediately sealed it inside the box containing the sealing technique. As for what happened to that light purple-haired star ninja afterward, he didn't have time to check—he simply activated his Body Flicker Technique, clutching the box as he vanished in an instant.
Shiyu Uchiha had just rushed out of the secret chamber when he saw several Star Ninjas charging toward him with crossbows. Before they could fully surround him, Shiyu unleashed the Great Dragon Fire Technique to clear a path. Using his Sharingan together with the Trio-body Jutsu and Shifting Body Technique in perfect coordination, he quickly broke through their encirclement.
As Shiyu was about to escape from the Star Ninja Village and vanish from sight, one of the village ninjas activated Kujaku: Wings. They soared into the air and then dramatically descended from the sky, bravely chasing after Shiyu.
When Shiyu saw someone who mastered Kujaku, he suddenly felt like he'd been lured by an irresistibly tempting bait. The situation was too tempting for him to resist.
So, Shiyu deliberately slowed his pace to draw the pursuer farther away from the group of Star Ninjas, ensuring enough distance to capture his opponent and then fly far away to study Kujaku thoroughly.
Through sensing, Shiyu noticed his distance from his opponent gradually closing while also becoming far enough from the group of Star Ninjas. He secretly launched the Shadow Clone Jutsu first, then his real body quickly turned around, activating the Mangekyou Sharingan. Next, he planned to use the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. Shiyu also formulated a series of combat plans considering possible reactions from his opponent.
However, just as Shiyu completed the first hand seal for the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, he noticed his opponent had fallen into his genjutsu trap. For a split second, Shiyu hesitated—he didn't want to go too far and end up killing her, but he also couldn't rule out the possibility of a trap, even though his Sharingan confirmed it was indeed the real person.
Still, Shiyu decided to play it safe and immediately had his hidden shadow clone reveal itself to catch the opponent and apply a Sealing Technique to restrict their chakra flow. Meanwhile, his real body continued forming hand seals to prepare for any possible deceit.
After confirmation through the shadow clone, Shiyu learned that the opponent was truly the genuine one. Feeling extremely awkward, he realized he had taken the opponent too seriously. Inside, he muttered curses under his breath. Why on earth would someone with such low Genjutsu resistance stare straight into Osamu's Sharingan? That was practically asking for trouble!
He then unleashed the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique he'd been holding back onto the pursuing ninjas behind him, briefly halting their pursuit. Then, together with his shadow clone, he carried away the red-haired kunoichi.
This time, Shiyu pushed the Shifting Body Technique to its peak performance. Even while carrying another person, he managed to shake off every pursuer from the Star Ninja Village. He circled nearly halfway around the Land of Kuma, ran into the border region of the Land of Kuma, the Land of Demons, and the Land of Demons, and finally, still not feeling secure enough, entered a desolate area within the Land of Demons to find a suitable concealed location.
Additionally, along the way, Shiyu dispatched his shadow clones to set up deceptions, successfully nipping any potential pursuit from the Star Ninja Village in the bud. This wasn't so much out of fear toward the village but more to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Back in the Star Ninja Village, chaos reigned. Not until dawn did The Third Star Shadow manage to sort things out and learn that "Hoshizora" had been lost. Though outwardly grieving, he immediately ordered the village ninja to search desperately for Hoshizora's recovery, but inside, he was secretly delighted.
He had long noticed the issues with the Star, and he had wanted to resolve them too, but had simply been powerless to do so. Now that someone was conveniently offering a pillow just as he felt drowsy, he hoped that Shiyu Uchiha, who had taken the Star, would never be found by the Star Ninja.
However, what troubled him was that Shiyu Uchiha had actually taken Haru Hoshizora with him—the most powerful ninja in the Star Ninja Village. The old man had even secretly chosen Haru Hoshizora as the successor to the title of Star Kage. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to give the village ninja orders—to find the target as soon as possible.
