Chapter 6

Hotarubi seeing that Ren seemed not to have realized that he was making hand seals to alert the Village ninjas, breathed a sigh of relief. All he needed to do now was to reel Ren in until the Village ninjas arrived.

Hotarubi's relieved expression, made Ren's eyes grow into a smile shape. He was wondering if Hotarubi's IQ had declined after he lost so much Fortune Value.

"That idiot, did you forget that I single-handedly defeated most of the Anbu in your Village?"

Of course, Ren would not say that out loud.

He wanted to see the face Hotarubi would have the moment he killed all the ninjas in the village.

"It's a pity that this guy's family is dead, otherwise I could make good use of them."

Continuing to stare at the two people in front of him, he decided to enjoy himself until the strongest ninjas in the village arrived.

...

Hotarubi sensing Ren's gaze, turned his face to face him, but what greeted him were those blood red eyes with three tomoe.

He knew that those eyes belonged to the dreaded Uchiha clan.

His heart that had previously been relaxed due to warning the Village, now beat uncontrollably. He felt Ren's playful gaze under his body, as if he were looking at a clown.

At the same time, his surroundings began to change, the world seemed to have turned dark, Natsuhi who was beside him seemed to have disappeared, leaving only him and Ren.

Soon Ren also disappeared leaving him alone in this sea of darkness. Slowly he felt a look under his back and when he turned around, he saw one of the most frightening things of his life.

A huge pair of Sharingan stared at him coldly.

...

Natsuhi realized that Hotarubi was acting strange, and just as she intended to swing him around, she felt someone grabbing her wrist.

"Let's not wake him up."

Ren's quiet voice sounded in her ears, causing her whole body to tremble. She didn't know what Ren intended to do to her, but she knew it wouldn't be good at all.

"W-What do you want?"

Natsuhi asked in a trembling voice.

Hearing that question, Ren gave a smile as he threw Natsuhi against the wall.

BANG!

The speed at which she had been thrown was so strong that it made a huge hole in the wall. Luckily the place they were in was extremely strong otherwise the whole place would have collapsed from the impact.

Looking at Natsuhi on the floor, he chose not to continue attacking her.

"That girl's Fortune Value is even higher than Hotarubi's, so I'll have to wait to do anything with her."

Ren thought quietly as he sat back in his chair.

Already sitting in the chair, he began to sense the chakra of the surroundings. Which resulted in him discovering that many ninjas were coming towards the palace where he was residing.

"It seems that the ninjas in that village are really loyal to the Hoshikage. But that's good too."

Their murmurs were heard by poor Natsuhi who had just risen from the rubble of the wall.

This was the first time in her life that she felt so afraid when facing someone, even the ninja of the Village Anbu couldn't make her afraid, but just a few words from Ren were enough to scare her.

"Oh! Are you still conscious?"

Saying those words, Ren got up from his chair again and attacked her again.

Natsuhi's strength was not strong enough to make him use a ninjutsu so he opted to just beat her with good old taijutsu.

Natsuhi who was not prepared to be attacked suddenly received a series of punches all over her body, causing her to spew a mouthful of blood as she fell to the ground again.

Despite the wounds on her body, her life was not in danger. After all, Ren feared retribution from the heavens should he kill the girl.

"That limitation, it's really frustrating."

Ren thought coldly, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

The ninjas from the Village finally arrived.

...

There were a total of five squads in the entire village, and right now four of the five were surrounding the palace where Ren was staying.

And the reason they were surrounding the palace?

They received Hotarubi's signal.

The signal that something had happened to the Hoshikage.

The leaders of the four ninja squads quickly entered the palace and the first thing they saw was the Hoshikage's body lying on the ground with his head in the distance.

The expression of the four leaders quickly changed from indifference to shocked and then frightened. None of them expected that the Hoshikage's esteemed guest would be responsible for his death.

They knew what would happen if the news of the Hoshikage being killed leaked to the commoners.

Chaos would ensue in the village, after all, the Hoshikage was a much-loved person among the commoners.

"It is impossible to contain this information for long, so we need to kill the person responsible for the Hoshikage's death. That way we will be able to give the commoners a valid excuse."

The third leader spoke with a grim expression on his face.

"Kill the person responsible? Heh! We'll be lucky to get out alive."

The first leader spoke with a deprecating smile.

The four leaders already knew who was responsible for the Hoshikage's death. And precisely because they knew who was responsible that they were unwilling to take revenge.

Damn it! The one responsible for the Hoshikage's death, is simply the man who fought the entire village Anbu without even breaking a sweat.

...

"Looks like our guests have arrived."

Ren spoke as he quietly walked towards the leaders of the ninja squads.

The way he said those words made it sound like he was a long-time friend of these people. But the leaders knew that this was nothing but nonsense.

In fact, Ren was happy because he could finally complete the second part of his mission.

"Gentlemen, I think you already know what will happen. So let's save our saliva and get down to business."

Speaking these words with a smile on his face, Ren disappeared from his initial position, only to reappear behind one of the leaders, and before the leaders could react he grabbed the second leader's head, while throwing him over the other leaders.

The manner in which Ren hurled the second leader in the direction of his companions made him look like he was throwing away a piece of paper, since it didn't seem that the second leader had put up any resistance in his body.

Reacting faster than the others, the first leader raised both hands and grabbed with all his strength his companion who was thrown in his direction.

But the first leader underestimated the force that Ren threw the man, and because of this, he found himself being sent flying as he held his companion in his arms.

"Am I too strong, or are these people who are too weak?"

Ren thought.

He knew that things shouldn't be that way, after all, no matter how weak Hoshigakure is, they should still have a certain amount of stamina when dealing with him, but seeing the ease in which he speared these squad leaders, he began to wonder if he was too strong.
