Chapter 942: The Descent of the Ice Frost Qilin!
"Hahahaha!"
"Go to hell! All you Konoha scum, go to hell!!"
Above the Land of Bears.
Hundred Legs laughed wildly and continuously bombarded the Ninja Alliance Army below with wave after wave of black-purple fireballs from his mouth and palms.
This forced the ninja led by Uchiha Fugaku and Kitsuchi to defend against the frantic overhead bombardment while also fending off the Moryo Army that was pushing forward again.
It was the same principle.
High-speed flight was truly a rare ability that held an absolute advantage in this ninja world.
Just like Uchiha Fugaku, even though he had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Facing Hundred Legs, who had no intention of lowering his height, he could only stare helplessly.
Not to mention Hundred Legs also possessed a powerful ranged attack ability. The combination of the two made him comparable to an entire bomber squadron, enough to make most ninja suffer immensely.
"Is there really no method?"
Uchiha Fugaku shouted with a grim expression.
"There is!"
Kitsuchi, who was constantly using various Earth Release Ninjutsu, immediately responded, "We just need to wait a while... Eh, they're already here!"
"What?"
Uchiha Fugaku turned his head in doubt, following Kitsuchi's line of sight.
He immediately saw many figures appearing in the sky to the east, with pale purple energy wings flapping behind them.
"Are those... Star Ninja?"
Uchiha Fugaku and many Konoha ninja around him recognized them one after another.
They had also heard about Hoshigakure.
Of course, that included the joke about the Hoshikage.
They had previously wondered why they hadn't seen the local Star Ninja on the battlefield, but later, due to the intense combat, they stopped caring about the matter.
And now, this group of Star Ninja, who clearly possessed flying ability, seemed to be their most reliable reinforcements?
"That Third Generation Leader of Hoshigakure said that their Star Ninja needed to return to the village to replenish their Hoshi chakra, so they took the opportunity when the Konoha forces arrived to go back."
Kitsuchi explained the situation to Uchiha Fugaku in his deep voice.
However, he still refused to say the word Hoshikage.
"So that's it. Then their current state should be very good. I wonder if they can deal with that Hundred Legs..." Uchiha Fugaku muttered to himself as he looked at the sky.
Meanwhile, under the expectant gaze of thousands of Konoha and Stone Hidden ninja.
Fifty-odd Star Ninja using the Peacock Method streaked across everyone's heads like streaks of purple meteors.
These people were arguably the entire combat power currently available in Hoshigakure. Only four genin were left in the village to guard the Hoshi.
In fact, when Hoshigakure was at its peak, there were over a hundred ninja who practiced the Peacock Method.
But the current Third Generation Hoshikage, named Hokuto Hoshi.
A few years ago, he actually issued an order to seal the Hoshi, prohibiting anyone from practicing the Peacock Method anymore.
This resulted in the number of Star Ninja not increasing, and casualties would occasionally occur due to various accidents during missions.
Naturally, their numbers became fewer and fewer.
However, this Hoshikage was clearly not a stubborn element who didn't know how to adapt.
After witnessing the Moryo Army rampaging within the Land of Bears with his own eyes, he immediately ordered the unsealing of the Hoshi.
He allowed all Star Ninja to use it to quickly recover their chakra, but still prohibited children from approaching and practicing it.
Because Hokuto Hoshi understood very clearly how strongly the Peacock Method eroded the body. Basically, very few people could live past thirty.
Unless they could cultivate to the level of himself and the previous two Hoshikage, only then could they recover all the damage their body had previously suffered and possess a lifespan similar to ordinary people. At least living seventy or eighty years would definitely not be a problem.
But that probability was too low, too low.
That was why he resolutely prohibited children from coming into contact with the Hoshi.
"Everyone, listen to my order!"
"Form the Peacock Star Formation!"
Hokuto Hoshi, as the Third Generation Hoshikage, shouted loudly, staring at the distant Hundred Legs.
"Yes!!!"
Forty-seven Star Ninja shouted in unison and began adjusting their respective positions.
The moment everyone was in position, the pale purple wings behind each person suddenly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, they converged into a purple energy mass in the Peacock Flying form.
"Where did this bunch of smelly bugs come from!"
Hundred Legs looked at this scene with disdain. He immediately pushed his palms forward and shouted, "Dark Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
Instantly, two streams of purple-black flame erupted from his palms.
When the two merged into one in front of him, they instantly transformed into a ferocious, massive fire dragon.
"Peacock Star Formation... Absorb!"
The pale purple peacock formed by the Star Ninja immediately swung its energy wings fiercely forward.
【BOOM!!】
The purple-black ferocious fire dragon and the pale purple elegant peacock collided in the air.
However, there was no large explosion or rumble.
Because the body of the fire dragon was visibly absorbed into the peacock's wings.
"What?!"
Hundred Legs was greatly surprised.
He truly hadn't expected the Star Ninja's Peacock Method to have the ability to absorb chakra.
Just as he was thinking it was troublesome.
The Third Generation Hoshikage, Hokuto Hoshi, suddenly changed his expression.
At this moment, he felt a mental power filled with a large amount of negative emotions invading his consciousness as the dark chakra surged into his body.
Killing intent, hatred, anger, resentment, jealousy, despair...
These even caused him to experience terrifying illusions in a trance.
But being an old expert over sixty, his firm willpower allowed him to recover immediately.
However, the group of Star Ninja behind him did not have this ability.
Except for a few jonin with good talent, the other Star Ninja had completely fallen into darkness.
From the outside, the originally extremely beautiful pale purple peacock began to be covered in black energy, and its form gradually became distorted, blurred...
"Hahahaha, so that's it. You can't digest the dark desires within the dark chakra. Hmph, you scared me for a moment!"
Hundred Legs laughed arrogantly.
"Since that's the case, why don't you obey the darkness in your hearts!"
"Damn it, how could this happen..."
Hokuto Hoshi gritted his teeth, watching the Peacock Star Formation completely collapse under the pollution of the dark chakra.
Some Star Ninja who had completely lost their mind began attacking indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe. Some other Star Ninja seemed to have fallen into extreme fear.
They were completely unable to control their bodies and chakra, and fell straight towards the cruel battlefield between the Moryo Army and the Ninja Alliance Army amidst screams.
"It's over now, you pathetic Star Ninja, you ridiculous Hoshikage!"
Amidst the wild laughter, Hundred Legs once again released a tsunami-like wave of purple-black flame that swept across the entire sky.
"Dark Great Fire Annihilation!!"
Speaking of which, Hundred Legs originally didn't know this high-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu.
However, although Black Zetsu's combat power wasn't great, the foundation he had accumulated over a thousand years was very deep.
He directly gave Hundred Legs a scroll containing most Fire Release Ninjutsu below B-Rank.
It even included Fire Release Ninjutsu like the Great Flame Technique, which was a secret tradition of the Sarutobi Clan.
"It's over..."
Uchiha Fugaku, Kitsuchi, and even Jiraiya, who was fighting Kakuzu, felt their hearts sink.
They hadn't expected the Star Ninja to be defeated by Hundred Legs with a single move.
In fact, if not for the special nature of dark chakra, the Star Ninja led by Hokuto Hoshi wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
After all, the ability to absorb chakra was enough to counter most ninja.
Coupled with the characteristic of their chakra being activated by the Hoshi, as well as the advantage of powerful explosive power.
And just in the nick of time, as the whole army of Star Ninja was about to be annihilated.
The Third Generation Hoshikage, Hokuto Hoshi, suddenly felt a cold wind blow past, giving him the illusion of being in the depths of winter.
Before he could think too much.
The surrounding cold wind became increasingly fierce.
He saw a strange creature, crystalline and transparent, composed entirely of ice crystal, resembling neither a horse nor a deer, with sharp, long double horns growing from its head.
It transformed into a blue and white meteor with the speed of lightning, crashing headfirst into the purple-black sea of fire from higher up in the sky...
The next moment.
A dense cold air with streaks of blue light erupted within the scorching hot and evil flame.
【BOOM!!!】
