Chapter 111: First Stage, Gathering Strength
It has been about a week since the incident in Konohagakure, and the news of the theft of Hoshigakure's treasure, Hoshi, has spread to various countries. Of course, the information also reached Konohagakure, and at this time, Tsunade was looking at the documents sent from Hoshigakure in the Hokage office, while almost all of Konohagakure's elite Jonin had gathered here...
"It is said that the ninja who attacked Star Ninja Village this time was only one person, a young man with very strong strength, at least at the level of elite ninjas, and his moves were very strange. According to the description of the ninjas in Star Ninja Village, the invading ninja used light to attack, so this time the invading ninja's move is called - Light Teleportation." Kiri read from a document.
"Kage Bunshin? That's not...!" Kakashi was immediately surprised by what he heard.
"That's right, that's a technique unique to the Hyuga clan's Byakugan bloodline limit, but this time, the one who attacked Konohagakure and stole the star was a young boy, all of whose characteristics didn't match Neji's. However, if he used transformation jutsu, then with Neji's strength, it would be absolutely possible to do without any openings." Katsuyu said.
"It seems that this time the person who attacked Konohagakure is not just Genin, but also has a great relationship with Genin." Kakashi said.
"It's like that, now starting from this meeting, everyone present must keep the contents of this meeting confidential. As for the mission to find Meng Long, although the Elder Council has already dispatched a covert team to execute it, it is inevitable that they will conflict with Meng Long. Therefore, for this mission, we will also dispatch three Jonin to execute..."
————I am that gorgeous dividing line————
Just as various major powers were mutually suspicious of each other over the matter of Mu Lin's attack on Xing Ren Village, at this time, Mu Lin was in his own spiritual world, sitting with Sally and Carmel at a round table studying the spoils of war from this time - Xing.
"How is it? Is there any useful information?" Meng Ling asked.
"On this star, there is a power that is completely different from the energy that has appeared so far, and it's an extremely powerful one. Just imagine, according to what Muwang said, those Star Ninja Village ninjas only trained on the surface of this star's power and were able to achieve attacks using just ordinary energy. If they really fully grasped it, what kind of existence would such a power be?" Sally said with a smile.
"Indeed, it's a very powerful force. Just this small star, the huge crater in Star Ninja Village was caused by this thing. The impact alone has such power, so when cultivating to 'Fantasy Star Tianlian Decision' and borrowing the power of the stars, that kind of might is beyond words." Meng Ling said.
"There's actually another reason, the power that needs to be collected this time is not in this world, so a energy source is needed for space jump, and the power of this star just happens to be suitable as the foundation for space jump. It seems that you've done well this time, Dreaming, not only have you touched the power of the stars, but also solved a big problem." Karmel said in a cold tone.
"Uh, I don't see how you're complimenting me!" Meng Ling said in a somewhat unnatural low voice.
"What was that you just said?" Karmel turned around and asked Meng.
"No, nothing." Upon hearing Karmel's words, Meng Leng immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, I see. In that case, there's no need for us to stay in this world any longer. Let's proceed with the space jump immediately. However, we can only do it once every two months. And Dreaming, you should know that although we can barely manage to perform a space jump, we have no idea what kind of energy we'll obtain each time. Not even we ourselves know. (PS: Of course, the author's words are law!!!) So, you must be extremely careful. Don't make any mistakes." Karmel said coldly.
"Ah, yes, I know (But is this a reminder or a curse that something bad will happen!)". Meng Ling felt somewhat depressed in her heart, but still agreed verbally.
"Alright, now that we're going to start the space jump, Meng, you return to the real world, this only requires Sally and me to do it. After all, space jumping isn't something you're familiar with yet. Once you're ready, just let us know with your divine sense and we'll begin the space jump." Karmel said.
"Alright, I'll leave everything to you two sisters then." After saying that, Ling's body gradually disappeared into the spiritual world. At the same time, in the outside world, Ling slowly opened her eyes.
At this time, Meng Ling's true body was sitting cross-legged in a mountain cave. After glancing at the sky outside, Meng Ling sent a message to Kame using his divine sense, stating that he was ready and then re-entered the mountain cave...
"Although I don't want to make it seem like a farewell, I'll be leaving for a while. So, who knows what the Ninja World will be like two and a half years from now..."
In Meng Ling's spiritual world...
"Plan initiated, phase one, spatial jump, Sally, are you ready?" At this moment, in a vacant lot within the spiritual world, Kamel and Sally stood facing each other. Both of their right hands simultaneously stretched forward, grasping the star suspended in mid-air. Meanwhile, two energies, one black and one white, gradually enveloped the star's body.
"Power of the Heavenly Gods!"
"Power of Death!"
"Space jump countdown, 3, 2, 1, space jump starts..."
At the same time as Karmel and Sally's powers burst forth in the spiritual world, Muer also disappeared on the spot in a huge halo of light in the real world.
————I am that gorgeous dividing line————
"Where is this?" After a jump through space, Meng Leng had arrived in another world, but...
"Why is it always in the air? Even if spatial coordinates can't capture it, this is still too absurd." No kidding, at this time, Meng Leng was floating in mid-air. With her ability to dance in the air, although it wasn't a big deal, Meng Leng, who was used to living on the ground, suddenly appeared in mid-air and felt somewhat unadapted.
"Hmm, from the looks of it here, it's quite similar to Earth!" Looking at the high-rise buildings and beautiful city night scene beneath her feet, which she had not seen for a long time, Meng Leng felt a strong sense of nostalgia.
"Hmm, it seems that my current attire isn't quite suitable for walking around here. Since that's the case, it looks like my first action after arriving here is to go find some clothes." After landing on the rooftop of a large building, Meng immediately realized his current inappropriateness. Fortunately, it was already late at night, and Meng had deliberately chosen a shopping mall building to land on, so he used stealth (to steal) to solve the problem of finding clothes. After changing into his long-unworn sneakers, casual wear, and jeans, Meng began his energy collection in this world with confidence.
"Oh, this is really Earth, but I don't think there's any good energy for me to collect here." Looking around at the scenery, although it was already nighttime, it was still bustling with activity. Meng Leng felt more and more that this place was just like the Earth she used to live on, but she was very clear in her own mind that although this place was also called Earth, it wasn't the same Earth she used to live on. Because here, Meng Leng had sensed a very dangerous aura, and not just in one place.
"Judging from the fact that people here can understand what I'm saying now, this should be Japan, right? So, in a place like Japan, what kind of situation would occur? Won't some monster suddenly appear soon, and then 'Space Hero' will show up or something? Haha, I really am beyond understanding." Meng Ling said with a smirk while observing her surroundings.
"It's still so lively at night, is this what you call a city? Meng Leng, although we've been to similar worlds a long time ago, it's also been a very long time since then." At this moment, Sally's voice suddenly appeared in Meng Leng's mind.
"Sally sister, have you been to a world similar to Earth?" asked Meng Ling.
"Uh-huh, yeah. Only back then we could use time-space jumps, which were several dozen times harder than the space jumps we have now, and it's also been many years ago." Sally said.
"Oh, so that's how it is... Hmm..." At this time, Meng Ling had already arrived at a train station, and just as she was walking while talking to Sally, she hadn't noticed much, only now realizing that she had unknowingly walked into the train station.
"(Singing...)"
"This is..." Dreaming Leng came back to her senses and when she walked onto a train carriage, she suddenly saw such a scene...
First, a woman wearing civilian clothes with shoulder-length brown hair sat on a stone pier, smiling. In front of the woman, a middle-aged man in a station attendant uniform was walking towards her, but his face was very dull.
"This singing voice is... something similar to magic! So that person should also be a capable person." After seeing these things, Meng Leng immediately hid behind the carriage and observed.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle..." Just as Meng Leng was still observing, suddenly, a series of footsteps came from behind Meng Leng. With a conditioned reflex, he turned his head to look back and found that a cat and a woman with two braids, wearing a strange outfit, were running towards him.
"Huh? That person isn't..."
