Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 128 Aren’t You an Accessory?

"Oh my, these two kids are fighting pretty fiercely."

Ban was lying on the stone statue, looking at the two people fighting fiercely below, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It looks like the yellow-haired guy is seriously injured. Do you want to go down and help?"

Firefly Grass looked down worriedly.

"No, neither of them has used their real skills yet."

Madara remembered that Uchiha Star said that there was a fox hidden in the boy named Naruto.

As Madara finished speaking, red chakra suddenly ignited on Uzumaki Naruto, who had been knocked unconscious. The chakra wrapped around Uzumaki Naruto and formed the shape of a fox.

After testing Uzumaki Naruto's strength several times, Uchiha Sasuke used the power of the curse seal.

"Oh, these two little guys are much stronger than that sand kid."

Ban excitedly took out a box of dried fish from Firefly Grass's small bag, ate it while watching the show, and made comments from time to time.

"Ok?"

Ban, who had been watching the fun, suddenly smelled a strange scent.

"Someone is coming, Firefly Grass, tell them to hurry up."

Madara followed Firefly Grass and said.

"I understand Madara-sama."

Hotaru nodded, then shouted to the two people who had transformed into "monsters" below: "Master Sasuke! Someone is coming~ Hurry up, we should go!"

As Firefly Grass finished speaking, the two people below decided to use all their strength.

The black Chidori and the red Rasengan collided with each other, and the powerful force collided with each other, and a huge explosion occurred.

"Ahhh! These two guys did a great job. I don't know who will win~"

Ban said while watching the fun.

After the explosion, Uzumaki Naruto lay unconscious on the river, while Uchiha Sasuke knelt weakly on the water.

It started raining at this time, which was very appropriate.

Naruto... I'm sorry, I have to go...

Uchiha Sasuke was panting, and when he saw Uzumaki Naruto's body beginning to sink into the river, Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand and scooped Uzumaki Naruto up.

At the same time, Parker arrived with Kakashi.

"Sasuke..."

Kakashi looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a cold expression on his face, and raised his hand to pull up the forehead protector that had been covering his eyes.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't say anything, he just threw Uzumaki Naruto and his forehead protector to Kakashi.

Seeing this, Kakashi quickly caught Uzumaki Naruto.

When he realized that Uzumaki Naruto was just unconscious because of chakra depletion, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as Kakashi was about to catch Uchiha Sasuke, Hotaruga 11 jumped down from above.

"I'm so sorry, we should go now."

Hotaruka followed Kakashi's words very politely, then took Uchiha Sasuke and jumped onto Madara's back, and Madara took them away.

"Can Parker track where they went."

Kakashi asked Puck who was standing beside him.

"I'm afraid not. The rain has covered their breath."

Parker shook his head, indicating that he couldn't lock on Uchiha Sasuke and his group.

"It's troublesome."

Kakashi looked up at the stone statues that had been standing on either side of the waterfall.

"How ironic..."

On the other side, Madara was flying forward, and Hotaru was treating Uchiha Sasuke's wounds.

"Sasuke-sama, are you feeling better?"

Hotaruga asked Uchiha Sasuke.

"Ah."

Uchiha Sasuke hummed lightly and ignored Hotaruga.

"Firefly Grass, where should we go next?"

Madara asked Hotaruga.

"I do not know about this."

Firefly Grass said in a low voice.

"Huh? Didn't Xing give you the map?!"

Madara shouted angrily.

"The master did give me the map, but he only told me to intercept Sasuke there and let him arrive at Orochimaru later. He didn't tell me the rest."

The more Firefly spoke, the quieter her voice became.

"Really."

Madara said irritably.

How come these two guys are so unreliable...

Uchiha Sasuke thought with some disgust.

"However, Madara-sama, before coming here, Lord Hyakume came with me. Lord Hyakume will lead us to our destination."

Firefly Grass said this and released the butterfly that was almost suffocated from a box.

The butterfly flew towards Firefly Grass angrily and hit its head madly.

"Master Baimu, I'm sorry!!!"

Firefly Grass covered her forehead and kept apologizing.

Butterfly?

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the dark purple butterfly with an eye pattern with some surprise.

After bumping into him a few times, the butterfly seemed to calm down and turned around to fly in front of Ban.

Has the Hundred Eyes also been dispatched?

"Hey, Baimu, what is the origin of this kid, and why did he ask us all to come out?"

Madara asked Baime, but the butterfly did not answer Madara's question, but continued to lead the way.

Soon, led by the butterfly, Ban followed into the woods.

"Oh!"

Madara reverted to cat form and jumped onto Firefly Grass's head.

Firefly took Sasuke and followed the butterfly to a hidden underground cave.

"excuse me."

Firefly Grass walked into the dungeon and spoke in a low voice.

Soon a person came out.

"Hmm? You are..."

Yakushi Kabuto looked at the girl who was hugging Dandelion tightly and was a little scared.

"Hello, my name is Hotaru Kusa. I was sent by the Master to escort Master Sasuke and bring Mr. Orochimaru to the Master safely."

Firefly Grass obediently told Pharmacist Kabuto the reason for coming here.

When Kabuto Yakushi and Uchiha Sasuke heard what Hotaruka said, their expressions froze.

What do you mean! There are other people behind Orochimaru!

This is Uchiha Sasuke's idea.

Is she someone sent by Yuorihoshi? But she is the only one...

Pharmacist Kabuto raised his hand and pushed his glasses up, looking at the other person.

However, this guy doesn't look very strong at all. What on earth did Yuzhixing want to do by sending her here?

Although Kabuto Yakushi didn't know what Uchiha Star wanted to do, he still brought Hotaru and Uchiha Sasuke to Orochimaru.

"coming."

Inside the room, Orochimaru supported his chin and looked at Hotarusa and Uchiha Sasuke brought in by Kabuto Yakushi.

Seeing Orochimaru's gloomy eyes, Hotaru suddenly hid behind Uchiha Sasuke, holding Uchiha Sasuke's clothes tightly with her hands.

"Then, you must be Orochimaru, sir. My lord asked me to tell you something. Don't forget the agreement between you and my lord."

Firefly Grass said in a low voice.

“What will happen if you don’t comply.”

Orochimaru chuckled and looked at Hotaru.

"My Lord said that if Orochimaru doesn't comply, try to bring both of them back. If you can't bring both of them together, then do your best to bring Sasuke back. And my Lord said that it would be useless even if you took Sasuke back with you. If you really do this, my Lord will put down the things in his hands and start the operation of catching the snake immediately. No matter where you hide, my Lord will find you."

Firefly Grass spoke in a very firm tone.

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha~ As expected of Teacher Xing~ Your purpose is really clear."

Orochimaru smiled and stood up from his seat and said, "I'll go with you after I finish arranging things."

Did he just say "Teacher Xing"? The person behind him is his teacher? But according to the news, isn't he a disciple of the Sandaime Hokage?

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes flickered.

The pharmacist next to him raised his hand and pushed his eyes away to block the light in them.

Is she Orochimaru's teacher? But she doesn't look very old. Could it be that she has the same ability of immortal reincarnation as Orochimaru?

No, that's not right. When she was just starting to build a business in Konoha, I often saw her. She looked different from Lord Orochimaru. She looked like a normal grown woman.

So, who is she and why did she become Lord Orochimaru's teacher?

Pharmacist Kabuto lowered his head and thought.

"Okay, but I still hope you can be a little faster."

Hotarugusa said this, and then stayed quietly in a corner, waiting for Orochimaru to come back after dealing with the matter.

After a long time, Orochimaru came back.

"Let's go."

Orochimaru said casually, and then prepared to leave.

"No need."

Firefly Grass came over, stretched out a hand, looked at everyone and said, "Just hold on to me."

Although they were a little confused, everyone reached out and grabbed the firefly grass.

"Then, the transmission begins."

As Firefly Grass finished speaking, everyone just felt their eyes blurry, and finally appeared in a very bright place.

"here it is...."

Orochimaru was pretty sure they were being taken to another location.

Reverse psychic communication? No, she didn't make any hand seals just now, and there is no one using psychic communication here. And...

Orochimaru's gaze fell on the teleportation anchor floating on the ground behind him.

This thing is very interesting.

"Welcome to the Hidden Rain Village, nyan."

A voice sounded in this empty place.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a civet cat as big as a lynx.

"Ahri~"

Madara jumped over Firefly Grass's head and landed on Ahri's head.

"As expected, Ahri's fur is softer and more comfortable to lie on."

Madara stretched comfortably, then lay comfortably on Ahri.

"This is the Hidden Rain Village!"

This time it was Uchiha Sasuke's turn to be shocked.

You know, they were in the Land of Rice in the last second, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the Hidden Rain Village.

"Yes meow, Xing asked me to wait for you guys here, come with me meow."

Ahri said as he stood up and led the way for everyone.

Speaking of which, this ninja cat looks somewhat familiar.

Uchiha Sasuke followed Ahri forward and looked at her.

Suddenly Uchiha Sasuke remembered where he had seen the other person.

A few years ago, in order to let Uchiha Sasuke know about family affairs, Uchiha Kagami took Uchiha Sasuke to the cat grandmother's house. At that time, he happened to see a big raccoon cat packing things, and there were many ninja cats around it delivering things and muttering something.

"What is that ninja cat doing?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked the cat lady here.

"It."

Granny Cat looked at Ahri who was constantly lecturing her and smiled, "His family is coming to pick him up today, so he is packing up and preparing to leave."

"Is this so?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, and then the scene of a cat bigger than Ahri coming to take it appeared in his mind.

However, Uchiha Sasuke did not see the cat that borrowed Ahri, but saw Ahri running out and then throwing herself into a man's arms.

As they were far away, Uchiha Sasuke did not see clearly who the other person was. He only saw that the other person was holding Ahri in one hand and carrying Ahri's luggage in the other hand. He nodded to the cat lady from a distance, and then left with Ahri.

“Elder Jing, didn’t you say that this place only provides help to the Uchiha clan? Is that person also from the Uchiha clan?”

Uchiha Sasuke asked Uchiha Kagami.

At that time, Uchiha Jing didn't say anything, but just reached out and rubbed Uchiha Sasuke's head.

His thoughts returned to him, and Uchiha Sasuke looked at Ahri who was leading the way in front of him. An idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

No way, the other party is a member of the Uchiha clan?! If that's the case, then it's the Uchiha clan......

No, no, no, I must be overthinking it. It's just a coincidence. Yes, it's just a coincidence.

Uchiha Sasuke kept comforting himself.

As he walked further in, Orochimaru gradually realized that something was wrong here. There was not a single window.

So this is underground? I couldn’t tell at first.

Ah, I really don’t like such bright places.

Orochimaru thought secretly.

Soon, everyone heard the sound of fighting.

As a big door was pushed open by Ali, everyone saw the scene inside.

Oh~ It seems that Teacher Xing has found another person besides me and Sasuke.

Orochimaru leaned against the wall, watching Uchiha Hoshi and Hyuga Neji fighting with their gentle fists.

Miss Yuori...? !!!

Why is she here! And, isn't that Neji? !

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the two people fighting in disbelief.

After fighting with Hyuga Neji for a while, Uchiha Xing stopped.

When Hyuga Neji saw the people standing at the door, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Orochimaru, Sasuke, Kabuto Yakushi...

Teacher, what do you want to do?

Hyuga Neji lowered his eyes slightly, then said: "Teacher, I will leave now and not disturb you."

"Well, I'll find you after I finish my work."

Uchiha Xing patted Hyuga Neji on the head, then walked towards Uchiha Sasuke and the others.

"Sir, Firefly Grass has completed the mission."

Hotaruga looked at Uchiha Xing happily and said this.

"well done."

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and rubbed Hotaruka's head.

Firefly grass rubbed Uchiha Xing's palm happily.

Ahri also came and sat down next to Uchiha Xing's legs, and leaned her head towards Uchiha Xing.

"Teacher Xing is quite leisurely and elegant."

Orochimaru said as he looked at Uchiha Star and smiled.

"well enough."

Uchiha Xing said as he took out the Book of Friends and turned to a blank page.

"Come on, the three of you write your names on this, and then I'll arrange your respective affairs."

"Ms. Yuori, I don't need to sign. After all, I'm not one of the people you want."

Pharmacist Dou pushed up his glasses and said that although he didn't know what would happen after signing, it would be better not to follow the other party anyway.

"Eh?? I thought you were an accessory brought by Orochimaru. You should have told me earlier. I don't want too many people to know about my relationship with Orochimaru."

Uchiha Hoshi said as he gathered chakra in his hands, which transformed into a chakra sword.

"Don't worry, I'm a medical ninja. It won't hurt. It will be over in the blink of an eye."
