Chapter 411 The Star Meteorite is in Hand

Seeing Sōseki's return, the Third Hoshikage nervously stepped forward and asked, "Sōseki-sama, is our illness…really related to the star?"

Sōseki nodded solemnly, "The star is the source of everything!"

When this was confirmed, the crowd wailed.

"Why is this happening? The star that we regard as our most precious treasure is actually the source of all disasters?"

"This is not the gift of God, but the temptation of the devil!"

It's not that no one can think of this, but they just don't want to think about it.

On one hand, the star's chakra is the power that the Hoshigakure relies on for a living. And on the other hand, the activation of the body when training the star's chakra is positive feedback in most cases, which makes them feel lucky in their hearts.

Now that Sōseki revealed the truth, they can no longer deceive themselves.

At the moment when he heard this answer, the Third Hoshikage seemed to have aged tens of years in an instant, and blamed himself, "If I could stop the training with the star's chakra sooner, everyone would not have to suffer this kind!"

However, Sōseki shook his head slightly, "Stopping the training can only make the subsequent tragedy not happen again, and the existing pain will not disappear!"

"The pain will not disappear even if the training stopped? No wonder!" The Third Hoshikage smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that stopping training for two years was not long enough!"

After he finished speaking, he asked again, "Sōseki-sama, can our disease be cured?"

Under everyone's nervous and expectant gazes, Sōseki nodded, "Yes, but the price is…you can no longer use the star's chakra!"

Hearing this, the Third Hoshikage's smile that had just appeared on his face became stiff, but he soon sighed, "I am too greedy. We're already very lucky to be able to be free from the pain… But, as an old man, I have lived for so long, and I have become accustomed to the illness, so you don't need to bother treating me, Sōseki-sama!"

Hearing his request, everyone was shocked.

"Hoshikage-sama, you…"

They soon understood that Hoshikage said this to preserve his power to protect the village!

Thinking of this, several resolute voices came from the crowd.

"I, I don't need it too!"

"I've been tormented by the pain for so long, but I'm not used to losing it all of a sudden!"

'While this village suffers, it has also gained precious things!' Sōseki sighed in his heart, he then looked towards Hoshikage and said, "If you are worried that you will lose your power if you lose the star's chakra, then you don't have to. Our Konoha has already opened up all the Low-Rank Ninjutsu's training method, you can use these Ninjutsu to replace the Mysterious Peacock Method!"

Low-Rank Ninjutsu is not precious, but it is only to Five Great Shinobi Villages.

For these small Shinobi Village, a C-Rank Ninjutsu may be considered a precious treasure!

However, Hoshikage smiled bitterly, "If possible, we would also like to try to make changes, but Hoshigakure is a place that is "blessed" by the stars. Apart from the training star's chakra, we basically don't have the aptitude in training other Ninjutsu!"

"I know." Sōseki said calmly, "You can't train in other Ninjutsu because of the star!"

"What?" Hoshikage was surprised and said, "It's not because of our lack of aptitude?"

Sōseki then explained, "I found out when I went to the star's location just now. The power of the star is very domineering and does not allow you to have extra energy to train in other Ninjutsu. That's why when training other Ninjutsu, you will inevitably fail!"

"Ψ%δ#" Even with Hoshikage's good temperament, he couldn't help but curse at this moment.

At this time, Sōseki said again, "Actually, your worry is also reasonable. It takes time to change to other Ninjutsu, and this period will give others the possibility to take advantage of your weakness… Well, I'll leave my Flying Thunder God Technique's mark in this village. If there is any danger, I will come here in time!"

Before he could say the request with the cheeky face, Sōseki already took the initiative to give his wish, so Hoshikage was moved in his heart, "Sōseki-sama, I really… I really don't know how to thank you!"

Everyone around is also grateful.

"Alas, it would be great if Sōseki-sama was from our Hoshigakure!"

"You know it is useless thinking about such a thing, it is better to say Hoshigakure should just merge into Konoha!"

"Huh?"

Hoshikage coughed a few times, and then said as if he didn't hear these words, "Sōseki-sama, our Hoshigakure don't have any valuable gifts, and the only thing we can give you is the star!"

After saying that, he hurriedly added, "I don't want to repay kindness with enmity, I just think that the star is really rare, so it would be a pity to throw them away like this. If it's you, Sōseki-sama, maybe you don't have to worry about the contamination of the star, right?"

"Star?" Sōseki asked, pretending to be surprised, "I'm not afraid, but no matter what, Hoshigakure is named after the star. Is it really okay to give it to me?" (T/N: Hoshigakure means village hidden among stars.)

Hoshikage waved his hand again and again, "No matter how precious the star is, I don't dare to leave it in the village. If I can help you, Sōseki-sama, that would be great!"

Everyone around also spoke up.

"Sōseki-sama, please don't refuse it!"

"At worst, we will just change our village's name in the future!"

Hearing them say this, Sōseki stopped refusing, "Then, I will accept it!"

Hoshigakure's people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, 'We finally sent the scourge out of the village!'

Sōseki is also relieved, 'The star meteorite is finally in my hands!'

Of course, he wasn't lying.

The star is indeed a scourge to Hoshigakure, and there is a certain danger even for him, but in the end, it is an opportunity to study the Ōtsutsuki, so he naturally does not want to give it up.

After the exchange, Sōseki directly created two wood clones— his legendary Medical Ninjutsu re-emerged in the Shinobi World!

...

At the same time, outside of Hoshigakure.

Jigen crossed the space and stood on a big tree.

'That guy is treating the others?' He didn't care about Sōseki's act of "clearing data" for others.

After all, he didn't expect the meteorite to find a suitable "tool" for him as when he threw the meteorite outside, he just had a playful mentality to see if he could catch a few big fishes.

What he cares about is how long the other party will be treating the others?

'How long I need to wait outside?' Thinking of this, Jigen had the urge to rush in directly.

But he still forcibly suppressed it, "No, it's easy to kill them, but it's still a little troublesome to ensure that not a single soul is leaking. As long as there is a fish that slips through the net, that Six Paths brat can trace me from the Pure Land!"

"Forget it, I'll wait for a while with peace of mind! I've even waited for Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi, so it's fine to wait for this now!"

Then, three days have passed!
