() "You are the only one left." After finishing the two rain ninjas, Ito Cheng turned to look at the last rain ninja and said softly.

Then Ito Cheng didn't see any movement, and his body quickly disappeared from his feet. Then a big tree suddenly appeared behind the rain ninja and tied him to the tree. Then Ito Cheng, who was bare-handed, slowly walked away from the tree. The upper body protruded from the tree trunk, and his hands violently pinched the neck of the frightened Yu nin and twisted it.

Hearing a soft "click" sound, the rain ninja's eyes immediately popped out and his head hung crookedly as he died.

"Mission accomplished." Ito Cheng, who had lifted the genjutsu, whispered to himself.

Then Ito Cheng clasped his hands in front of him, immediately pressed them to the ground, and activated alchemy to bury the bodies of the three dead rain ninjas. After all this was done, Ito Cheng didn't stay any longer, jumped directly onto the branch and rushed back to the team.

"Exposed~" Ito Cheng, who returned to the top of the carriage, immediately released the shadow clone technique and sat cross-legged to meditate again.

Along the way, except for encountering a group of unlucky bandits, who were dealt with by Akai Kanata's samurai escorting the car, there were no other special incidents. He arrived at the transaction location smoothly and met the other party.

After the transaction was completed, Ito asked Akai Kanata for a mission completion confirmation, and immediately left Akai Kanata's motorcade and headed towards the Hoshi Ninja Village where he had heard about it.

Half a day later, Ito Cheng arrived outside the Grand Canyon where the Star Ninja Village is located.

"This is the poisonous gas canyon with a natural barrier." Ito Cheng thought as he looked down at the canyon filled with yellow mist below. Then he clasped his hands in front of him and pressed them hard on the ground. Immediately, streaks of lightning burst out from Ito Cheng's palm and spread to the edge of the cliff in front of him. Then he saw a square pillar suddenly appear on the surface of the rocky soil layer at the edge of the cliff and quickly extended to the opposite side.

"Bang!" A moment later, the growing stone pillar hit the mountain opposite, making a dull sound.

Then Ito Cheng straightened up, stepped onto the stone pillar, and walked towards the opposite side of the valley. After a moment, when his feet stepped on the ground again, he walked towards the Star Ninja Village without stopping.

…

"Hey~ This smell is really uncomfortable..." After a moment. Ito Cheng, who arrived at the Star Ninja Village, felt the strange aura emanating from the surroundings, frowned and thought to himself.

Immediately, Ito Cheng jumped down from the mountain outside the Seishin Village and ran towards the building in the center of the valley that looked like a crater on the moon.

"Fortunately, there's no one here now, so it's convenient for me to grab that one." Ito Cheng, who came to the outside of the storage room, carefully looked into the room and said to himself after a few glances.

Then Ito used alchemy to break open the wall beside him, quickly broke into the hidden room, suppressed the weird aura emanating from it, and took it into the Rubik's Cube world.

"What a piece of shit, it looks like the corrupted eggs of the interstellar Zerg." Ito Cheng frowned and said to himself, "There is also this uncomfortable smell. Could it really be some kind of alien creature?"

"Rubik's Cube, detect what that thing is." Ito Cheng ordered the Rubik's Cube with his mind.

Two or three seconds later, the Rubik's Cube presented the detection results in Ito Cheng's mind.

"Really? Then seal it up." Ito Cheng ordered.

"It seems that the peacock magic is the mutation product of regular exposure to that special substance. If people in the Naruto world don't have chakra, whoever comes into contact with it regularly will die." Ito Cheng thought in his heart after finishing the solution Secret passage.

Then Ito Cheng slipped out of the hole he made and dived toward the high-rise building where Hoshikage lived in the center of the building.

There are not many people in the Star Ninja Village, and their strength is generally low. So even during the day, Ito Cheng's infiltration operation went smoothly. He entered the building where Hoshikage was and came outside Hoshikage's room with almost no effort. Then a young man who looked less than thirty years old appeared in Ito Cheng's eyes with a Hoshinin headband protecting his forehead.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng stretched out his hand and pressed it against the wooden wall behind him, closed his eyes and mobilized the power in his body, secretly shouting "Wood Release - Four Pillar Prison Technique".

moment. A prison made entirely of wooden pillars appeared in the room, restraining the young man in the prison.

"Who is it!" The star ninja man who suddenly saw that he was imprisoned shouted loudly, his expression changed, and then he raised his hands in front of him and quickly formed ninjutsu mudras. And shouted, "Peacock's wonderful method - the method of transforming a bird into an animal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of special transparent chakra that was light pink with a hint of purple instantly appeared behind the man, and then rushed upwards, transformed into a beast, and rushed towards the surrounding wooden pillars.

Outside, Ito Cheng, whose hands were still clinging to the wall, changed his mind. The wooden pillars in the room suddenly became thicker and gradually formed a wide wooden wall.

"Boom!" At this time, the beast transformed by the peacock magic finally hit the wooden pillar, and the collision between the two made a violent explosion. However, although the sound was loud, the wooden pillar was still as stable as before, and there was no rush. It slowly merges with the wooden pillars next to it to form a complete wall.

"Wooden Release - Wooden Clone." Then Ito Cheng's mind changed again, and a wooden clone was born from the wood that turned into a wall, broke away from the wooden wall, and stepped into the wooden prison that had become pitch black.

"Who are you?" The star ninja man who heard the footsteps suddenly turned his head to look at the wooden clone and asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Now I have something to ask you. If you answer well, you will live. If you answer poorly, you will die." The wooden clone Ito Cheng looked at the star ninja man and said, and then continued to ask without waiting for the other party to speak. "Where is the secret scroll of Peacock's Mystical Dharma?"

"As expected, it's for the Peacock Magic Technique of our Star Ninja Village." The Star Ninja man said with a genuine expression, and then the god firmly refused and said, "I won't tell you where the Peacock Magic Technique is."

"Won't you tell? Forget it, your Star Ninja Village is not big anyway, there are only two places where you can hide the scroll, and the most likely one is here. I just need to kill you and search here carefully, no I can't find it." Ito Cheng said with a smile.

The latter's expression immediately changed when he heard this, and he connected his hands with seals, about to launch the Peacock Magic Technique to attack Ito Cheng.

"It seems that my guess is correct. The Peacock Magic is indeed in this building." The wooden clone Ito Cheng said and kicked off his feet. He instantly came to the star ninja man and raised his hand to break up his hands that were forming seals. Then he leaned his body sideways and leaned against the star ninja man's chest.

There was just a crisp "click" sound, and the sternum of the Hoshi ninja man immediately sunk in. At the same time, he was hit by the huge force of Ito Cheng's shoulder, and hit the wooden wall behind him hard.

"The weakness of the Peacock Mystical Technique is indeed close combat." The wooden clone Ito Shige walked up to the star ninja man who was dripping with blood foam from his mouth and said. After saying that, the wooden clone Ito Cheng stepped forward and melted into the wooden wall behind the star ninja man and disappeared.

At this time, Ito Chengma who was outside removed his hands from the wall, walked slowly into the room where the Hoshi ninja man was, and started searching with his mental power.

"Uh~ It's actually in the secret compartment under that man's butt." After a moment, Ito Cheng, who discovered the Peacock Magic Scroll, muttered in astonishment. Then he turned around and walked to the wooden cell. He stretched out his hand and pressed it against the surface of the wooden wall, activating the decomposition and refining process. He broke down a hole in the wall and stepped inside.

Then he went straight to the futon where the star ninja man was sitting, kicked the futon away, leaned over and activated the decomposition and refining process again, and then a scroll as thick as a picture scroll appeared in front of Ito Cheng's eyes.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng smiled slightly, reached out and took the scroll of Peacock Magic in his hand, put it into the Rubik's Cube World, then turned back and walked out of the wooden cell. After that, Ito Cheng glanced around casually, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Then a small flame suddenly appeared on his finger, and he threw it into the wooden cell.

"Boom!" A dazzling firelight was instantly produced in the wooden cell along with a loud noise, and it flew out from the opened gap and swept towards the surrounding wooden objects.

"Fire alchemy is really a good thing for killing people and eradicating traces." Ito Cheng walked slowly out of the sea of ​​​​fire, and then snapped his fingers at the burning room again, and then left the Star Ninja Village and headed for the Leaf Village. .

Because he was not in a hurry, it took Ito Cheng a day and a half to return to Konoha Village. At this time, Steel Hand had already completed the succession ceremony and officially became the fifth generation Hokage.

"This is the mission completion confirmation." In the Hokage's office building, Ito Cheng handed the confirmation to Gang Tie and said.

"Very good, you go down and rest first. There will be a new task assigned to you in two days." Gangshou opened the confirmation letter and looked at it briefly before saying casually.

"Oh." Ito Cheng responded obediently, then turned to look around and asked the steel hand, "Where is Shizune?"

"Going out on a mission." Steel Hand replied.

"Have you gone on a mission? That means Sasuke will defect in the next few days. It seems that you need to prepare." Ito Cheng said thoughtfully to himself, then put away his thoughts and said to Gangate, "Then I'll leave first. ”

After saying that, he left the Hokage's office building and walked towards his residence. Ito Cheng knew that even if he went to find Yuri Kurenai or Mitarai Anko now, they would not necessarily be at home, but would probably be on a mission.

After returning to his residence, Ito Cheng suddenly mobilized the energy in his body and cast a shadow clone to stay at home. Then he used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared from the room in an instant.

At the same time, in a room that was obviously feminine, Ito Cheng's figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"Tsk, haven't you come back yet?" Ito Cheng took a casual look at the situation in the room and reached out to grab a porcelain bottle on the table next to him and opened the secret passage.
