When he saw the elderly figure of the Third Hoshikage, Shoji smiled slightly and raised his hand slightly. The Third Hoshikage also sat cross-legged, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for the Third Hoshikage, and then gently moved it to others.
before.
The two of them looked at each other in silence, sitting there drinking tea in silence.
It seemed as if they had made an appointment to come to have tea at the beginning. Itachi had already led the third generation Hoshikage to the room. After closing the door, he also left early. In the same room as Nobu, there were only two people sipping tea.
Tea and the sound of long breathing.
It seemed like it was just time for a cup of tea.
It seems as timeless as ever.
When the third generation star shadow looked up again, he looked at the general who still had a leisurely expression in the opposite position. His slightly cloudy pupils couldn't help but reveal a trace of emotion. He shook his head slightly and said:
"Jiang Si-kun, if I remember correctly, you are not yet 17 years old this year, right? But your calm posture really doesn't look like what a 17-year-old should look like at all."
"Haha, your Excellency, the leader, is well rewarded. I am just a little more patient than others. What's more, for us ninjas, patience is the most important quality, isn't it?"
Jiang Si smiled in his eyes and replied softly.
"Yes, it's no wonder that the Third Tsuchikage values you so much. He not only allows you to serve as the deputy squad leader of the Jonin class, but also allows you to personally lead the team where his only direct granddaughter is. This is not just a fancy.
General, I am particularly interested in your strength and your ability and structure!"
There was an obvious look of envy in the depths of the third generation Hoshikage's pupils. He looked at Shoji's extremely young face and said softly.
The Third Hoshikage is really envious of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, or to put it more bluntly, the Five Great Ninja Villages are the most enviable existences of the younger Ninja Villages like them. They have always had the highest majesty and strong sense of presence in the Ninja World.
Geniuses have appeared from generation to generation. Even the weakest Sunagakure Village is only compared to the other four major ninja villages. Facing other ninja villages, Sunagakure Village still has an absolute advantage.
No matter how bad he is, he can still be considered a Kage-level powerhouse, and with a tailed beast jinchūriki, this is the existence that the small ninja village must look up to.
Unlike the younger generation in the village, the Third Hoshikage has seen all this thoroughly. Shoji can easily hear the deep meaning in the Third Hoshikage's words. As for the Third Hoshikage knowing Kurotsuchi's identity, this is also common.
Well, Ohnoki has never concealed Kurotsuchi's identity. In the Iwagakure village of Nobu, ordinary civilians know that Kurotsuchi is Ohnoki's direct granddaughter. Interested outsiders can easily identify the target person with just a little investigation.
"Haha, it's my honor to be respected by Lord Tsuchikage! Your Excellency, the leader, came to visit late at night. Isn't it to discuss these unrelated issues with me? You must have some needs, why don't you tell me directly?"
The general smiled softly at first, then changed the subject and asked directly.
"As Shoji-kun said, I did have an important matter when I visited late at night, but to be more precise, it should be a transaction. I think Shoji-kun, and even Lord Tsuchikage, should be satisfied with this transaction!
"
The Third Hoshikage paused for a moment before speaking, then looked at the general opposite him with a serious expression and said seriously.
"trade?"
Jiang Si narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured in a low voice.
"Yes, it's a deal!"
The Third Star Shadow nodded heavily, and those words of confirmation made the atmosphere in the room gradually become more solemn.
This is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.
It may even be a ‘special transaction’ that requires repeated communication between both parties before it can be finalized.
Nearly two hours had passed since the Third Hoshikage entered the general's room. During this period, Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara had been guarding the living room outside. Although
It was already one or two o'clock in the night, but the three of them were not sleepy at all. They were all in high spirits. Itachi was a little better, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara would turn their heads from time to time to glance at the direction of Shoji's room.
There was a hint of curiosity in the depths of his pupils.
Because in their opinion, this is at most a conversation about some necessary matters about the mission. It can be ended after an hour, but now a full two hours have passed. If they don't care at all, then it must be
It's a lie.
If it weren't for not being allowed, and 100% impossible, the most active black soil children would have the urge to run over and eavesdrop.
"Itachi-san, you said..."
And it was just when Kurotsuchi could no longer bear it anymore that he planned to ask Uchiha Itachi who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed to relax.
It was accompanied by the "squeaking" sound of the door opening.
Shoji appeared in the living room accompanied by the third generation Hoshikage. Kurotsuchi immediately shut up and the three of them stood up simultaneously.
"Then, things from now on will be a lot of trouble for Mr. General Si!"
The third generation Hoshikage came to the door, turned around and looked at General, and said in a very solemn tone.
"Yes, please don't worry, Sir. I can guarantee this!"
The general smiled slightly and replied.
"Well, I believe in Mr. Jiang Si's character, so I will be rude today!"
After the third generation Hoshikage took one last deep look at Shoji, he turned around and strode away. When the figure completely blended into the shadows of the dark night, Shoji closed the door again and returned to the living room.
The eyes of Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi also fell on Shoji. It was still Kurotsuchi who was the boldest and most active person who asked: "Shouji-san, that person from Hoshiyakure Village?"
What on earth did the leader come to talk to you about? It can’t be just about the previous mission, right?”
"Haha, you are very curious about everything. Well, you did talk about some other issues. The focus is on this thing."
General smiled softly, then took out a round object wrapped in special cotton cloth from his arms, and opened it.
"Eh?"
"This thing? Is it?"
Although this was the first time I had seen this special sphere exposed, the special energy fluctuations I sensed at this close range, combined with some of the information I had learned before, Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi
They all showed a hint of surprise at the first moment.
"Yes, it's just what you think. This is the extraterrestrial meteorite called a star in Xingyin Village!"
General smiled and nodded.
"The leader gave this to you directly? General Si-san?"
Kurotsuchi looked up at the general with a look of astonishment and asked.
This is the treasure of Xingyin Village!
Although Kurotsuchi, Itachi, and Deidara had some speculations when they heard the "truth" announced by the third-generation star shadow during the day, they really did not expect that the third-generation star shadow would deal with this star stone in this way!
