"You handle the Star Ninja Village's affairs yourself. I'll be staying in that cave for a while. Bring the patients over, and I'll heal them all."
Kimimaro said, turning and leaving.
"What a strange guy."
Natsuha muttered to herself. At this time, Naruto and Shino rushed over.
"Aunt Natsuha, was that Kimimaro just now?"
Naruto said excitedly.
They had met before, and Naruto knew her identity, so he asked directly.
"You mean that white-haired boy? I don't know his name either."
"It must be him! I'm going after him!"
Naruto said, and was about to follow, but Shino stopped him.
"Calm down. That place is poisonous. If you follow him, you won't be able to catch up, and you'll die."
"But..."
Naruto looked unwilling.
"Is there any grudge between you and him?"
Natsuha asked in confusion.
"That guy took away my best friend!"
...
On the other side.
Kimimaro had already arrived at the previous cave.
He naturally sensed Naruto's presence.
But now he just wants to study the star as soon as possible and is not interested in Naruto.
Byakugan activated!
The star had few secrets in Kimimaro's eyes.
"This thing does store a lot of chakra, about ten cards. But the most amazing thing is that the chakra in it can automatically recover after it is consumed.
Although the speed is not fast, it is also very amazing. If you can use the chakra in it for your own use, it is equivalent to having an extra chakra power bank."
After realizing this, Kimimaro was overjoyed.
Then the next step is to deal with the side effects.
When Kimimaro helped Natsuha heal before, he had almost understood the side effects of the star.
Simply put, the chakra is too violent, causing damage to the meridians, which in turn damages the internal organs, leading to injuries and eventually death.
With a thought, Kimimaro pulled the purple chakra out of the star.
"This chakra is even more violent than the Nine-Tails' chakra. The person who invented the Peacock Mystic Method is also a talent. He can actually come up with a way to devour this kind of chakra for his own use.
It's a pity that after a long time, the human body's meridians still can't bear it."
Kimimaro tried to devour the star's chakra, but the meridians in his body soon protested.
Although it was very subtle, it was enough to make him give up trying.
He is a person who cherishes his life, and he will carefully weigh any matter that endangers his health.
As long as there are other ways to solve it, he will not choose a method that harms his body.
"Sure enough, you can't let the star's chakra enter the chakra meridians, otherwise it will more or less affect your lifespan. Did you get it for nothing?"
Kimimaro frowned slightly, feeling a little depressed.
"No, chakra can't enter the meridians, it doesn't mean it can't be used. The energy of the ghost way can be condensed and released outside the body."
The ghost way is a move from Bleach. It was originally a move activated by spiritual power, but the Space-Time Inn changed it to a chakra version so that Kimimaro could use it.
So Kimimaro has always used the chakra in his body to release it.
Because there is no chakra outside his body that he can control.
But now it's different.
As long as the star is in his hand, he can control this chakra.
Thinking of this, Kimimaro did not hesitate and immediately began to test this idea.
"Destruction Spell Number Four, White Thunder!"
Kimimaro tried to control the star's chakra to activate the Destruction Spell, and unexpectedly it went smoothly.
White lightning appeared on his right index finger, and then shot out directly!
Boom!
The white lightning hit the stone wall, creating a deep pit.
"It really works! And the power seems to be stronger than usual. It seems that the star's chakra is stronger than ordinary chakra."
Kimimaro's face showed joy.
Only he can use this method.
Other people don't know this special energy control method at all.
"Although this method cannot be applied to all skills, it is very good to be able to use it to display the abilities in Bleach."
The power of the Destruction Spell and the Binding Spell is very good, and Kimimaro often uses them.
With the addition of the star, it is of great benefit to him.
Kimimaro placed the star on his lower abdomen, and then the white bones in his body drilled out, wrapping the heart-sized star and dragging it into his body.
With the white bone sealed, the star's chakra will not overflow in Kimimaro's body.
And when you want to use it, you can also quickly mobilize it.
At this moment, the star completely became Kimimaro's second chakra source.
"Done."
Having obtained a chakra power bank with a capacity of ten cards, Kimimaro was very satisfied with the results of this trip.
In the next few days, Natsuha brought the ninjas who were injured due to star training to Kimimaro for treatment.
Everything went smoothly.
Kimimaro also learned about the recent situation in Star Ninja Village from Natsuha.
With the testimony of Akahoshi's subordinates, his crime of killing the Third Hoshikage was confirmed.
And Natsuha, who recovered her health, naturally returned to Star Ninja Village and became the Fourth Hoshikage with the recommendation of everyone.
"Mr. Kimimaro, thank you so much for your help this time. Otherwise, Star Ninja Village might have been destroyed by Akahoshi."
Natsuha expressed her sincere gratitude to Kimimaro.
"No need, we each get what we need. This should be the last patient, right? I'll leave here later."
Kimimaro stood up and said.
"Mr. Kimimaro, there is one more thing. I want to ask for your opinion."
"What's the matter?"
"Konoha ninja Naruto Uzumaki wants to see you. If you don't want to see him, I will help you stop him."
"Oh? With his personality, he didn't follow you here?"
Kimimaro was slightly surprised.
"Naruto knows that you are treating ninjas in Star Ninja Village. He is afraid that if he comes, you will leave immediately, so he doesn't dare to come easily."
"This kid has grown up a bit. Well, let him come."
"Yes, Mr. Kimimaro."
Natsuha left, and not long after, Naruto came over.
"Kimimaro! Where's Sasuke?"
As soon as he came up, Naruto shouted loudly.
This temper still hasn't changed.
"Don't worry, he's still alive. And within three years, he won't be in any danger. Even Mr. Orochimaru will do his best to train him.
He is now much stronger than he was a month ago. And you don't seem to have made much progress. If you continue like this, in three years, you will be far behind him."
Naruto was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect Kimimaro to tell him the information directly.
"If you want to save Sasuke, become stronger. After all, this world needs strong power to achieve what you want to do.
Whether you want to become Hokage or chase Sasuke back, it's the same."
