Chou Niu spoke seriously like this.

Hakushi looked at Chou Niu helplessly and said, "There's no need to play riddles with me here. Isn't it you who instigated Akakage?"

Chou Niu's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"It's good that Hakushi-sama doesn't blame it."

"Blame? Why blame?"

Hakushi stood up from his chair, turned his back to Chou Niu, walked up to the window, and stood looking out at the distant mountain scenery.

"Humans may be independent individuals, but they also live in groups. A family is never a burden, because with family, people become stronger. Many are willing to sharpen their blades to protect everything they cherish and value. Wasn't this your experience in the past, Chou Niu?"

Chou Niu squeezed out an awkward smile.

Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from this lord.

If the other two are responsible for force, then this one is the so-called brain.

One person's power is always limited, so they huddle together for warmth, unite, and establish an unprecedented new era.

Perhaps many doubted in the past, but watching the changes in the Land of Demons over the years, that doubt no longer exists.

These people, isn't this the era they want?

Why should only nobles be able to read and understand?

Why should only ninjas have power?

Why do the civilians who sustain the population of the Ninja Realm always shed too many tears and blood?

All of this is irrational.

Irrational things naturally need to be overturned and changed until the world becomes what they desire.

"Akakage is an excellent prospect but tends to be stubborn. He wants to become the shadow behind Hakushi-sama, but he's forgotten that Hakushi-sama doesn't need nameless shadows behind him."

"That's right, hopefully he can grow up quickly. His Kekkeigenkai power is similar to Obito's ability, but the nature is different. There are some things that even Obito's Kamui doesn't possess. I'm very hopeful for his future."

Hakushi nodded and then asked:

"So, how is the Hidden Star Village now?"

"Now?" Chou Niu's face continued to pull out an awkward smile: "Given the time, it's probably already fallen, especially since it's led by Ayane-sama personally, there's no chance of failure."

Without ninjas on the level of the Five Kage, the Hidden Star Village would definitely be crushed thoroughly by the ninja squad from the Land of Demons, with no power to resist.

With the official protection of the Daimyo of the Land of Bear, they can completely transform the Hidden Star Village into a strategic military base to prepare for the future attack on the Land of Wind.

Land of Bear, Hidden Star Village.

Just past noon, the village was silent.

"Why, why do you... attack the Hidden Star Village?"

The Third Hoshikage spoke with trembling voice, looking shocked at the young woman in front of him, who seemed like a divine demon had descended.

Pure white pupils, long straight black hair draped down to her waist, and a confident smile regarding her own power hung on her face, with her arms folded, she stood there leisurely, smiling.

Konoha S-Class Renegade Ninja, Hyuga Ayane.

A Branch Family Ninja of the Hyuga Clan, for unknown reasons, unlocked the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, becoming the first Hyuga Clan ninja to successfully defect in Konoha's history. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Employed by the Third Tsuchikage of Hidden Rock Village during the previous third Ninja Realm, she rampaged on the Hidden Cloud battlefield, overpowering the Fourth Raikage of Hidden Cloud.

Her power is undoubtedly comparable to a powerful ninja of the Five Kage level.

Being targeted by such a dangerous ninja is undoubtedly a nightmare for the Hidden Star Village.

Around, numerous ninja from Hidden Star Village collapsed, from Jonin to Chunin, from Chunin to Genin, almost all lay on the ground.

Though they did not die, it further confirmed Ayane's terrifying strength.

Facing the fierce attack from the entire ninja forces of Hidden Star Village, the opponent merely played around and easily knocked down all the ninjas without harming them. How much confidence and power does this require?

Although the Jonin and Chunin of Hidden Star Village have a lot of shortcomings compared to the Jonin and Chunin of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and their ninja techniques are very simple, there are still hundreds of ninjas.

Facing this situation, the Third Hoshikage felt unprecedented despair.

More desperate than the Third Hoshikage were the high-ranking elders lying on the ground, as today, they had an agreement with the Daimyo of the Land of Bear to eliminate the Third Hoshikage. Once the envoy from the Daimyo of the Land of Bear arrived, action would immediately be taken.

However, they completely did not know that the Hidden Star Village would be targeted by a dangerous S-class Renegade Ninja.

Besides, isn't it widely rumored in the Ninja Realm that Hyuga Ayane is just a weak bounty hunter?

Looking around at the hundred or so ninjas standing, all powerful ninjas at Chunin level or above.

From their uniform outfits and excellent equipment, it was clear they were not ordinary ninja squads; at least the Hidden Star Village couldn't create such an elite ninja squad.

This completely does not match the image of a weak bounty hunter.

What are those intelligence-gathering ninjas doing?

How could the intelligence be so wildly inaccurate?

"Still not surrendering? I really don't want the reputation of bullying the elderly. Besides, your body has already been severely corroded by abnormal chakra, hasn't it?"

Ayane seemed very patient.

"No wonder those Kekkeigenkai Byakugan."

The Third Hoshikage chuckled bitterly, realizing that trying to hide his physical condition in front of a ninja with a Byakugan was really too far-fetched.
