It seemed that Hozuki Mangetsu was definitely going to lose.
"Stop!" But just then, he roared, and then, with a swish, a pair of wings suddenly grew from his back.
Flap! Flap!
The figure flapped its wings and flew up like a dragon, once again shocking everyone.
"Holy crap, did this guy mutate? He actually grew a pair of wings!"
"Awesome! I thought he was going to run away, but I didn't expect him to mutate. He actually flew into the air. It seems this guy's strength is not ordinary either!"
"The Star Ninja are indeed amazing. They can even transform. This is simply too powerful. Today, I've finally seen the legendary power of the Star Ninja!"
A series of gasps came from below. And at this moment, Itsuki was also breaking out in a cold sweat for Xiari.
However, only Kusuo knew in his heart that this was all due to Orochimaru's modifications, which was why Mangetsu could so easily use the power of the Star. Although up until now, Xiari's strength seemed to be far above his, it seemed this ninja's strength was also not ordinary. To be able to transform and not be beaten back meant that he definitely had strength and a backup plan. So, the current scene was indeed a bit dangerous.
"Not bad. I didn't expect this guy to be a little stronger than I thought. I'm actually a little reluctant to kill him," Xiari said, a trace of appreciation in her eyes.
"Swoosh!"
She spread her palm, and with a whoosh, a bell collar instantly appeared in her hand.
"That's... the Puppet Secret Art Ring?" At this moment, a ninja from the Land of Bears recognized the magic weapon in her hand.
"The Puppet Secret Art Ring? What's that? Is it very powerful?" a young man asked curiously.
"It's more than powerful! This ring, as long as it's placed on a ninja's neck, any ninja will be controlled. Even the most ferocious ninja will instantly become as obedient as a small dog!"
"It's truly incredible. I never thought I would be able to see this ring in this place. You should know, many people have wanted this ring, but have never been able to find it."
"It's been missing for almost several hundred years. I've only heard of it. At that time, I thought it might just be a legend, but I didn't expect it to be real."
The young man was extremely shocked.
Kusuo, who saw this, was also a little surprised. This thing should have been in Heizi's hands, but he didn't expect Heizi to have left it to Xiari before he left.
"This is really strange. Why does this woman have this magic weapon? How did she get it?"
"And her skills are very strong. You can't tell at all that she's an outer-gate ninja. What is her identity? Why is she so strong? And why does she have such a top-grade magic weapon with her?" another young man asked, utterly confused.
But what they didn't know was that this was a magic weapon the system had rewarded Xiari with when she "signed in." The magic weapons she had obtained were already countless. This was just one of them, and not even the best one. It was just that she usually used her chakra sword, and most of her magic weapons were hidden in her system, only used occasionally. Today was also the first time she had used this Puppet Secret Art Ring, because she felt this figure was not bad and wanted to subdue it as her mount. She had wanted to find a mount for herself a long time ago, but had never found a suitable one. So, today she had taken a fancy to this figure. She felt this guy was suitable.
"Go!" she commanded, then threw the ring in her hand. Immediately, the Puppet Secret Art Ring grew larger with a swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Finally, with a whoosh, it was securely fastened around Hozuki Mangetsu's neck.
The figure wanted to struggle, but it was useless. The iron ring was already on its neck and couldn't be taken off at all. The bell made a clang, clang, clang sound, which was quite piercing. In less than a moment, Mangetsu suddenly stopped shouting and began to make whimpering sounds.
After it had quieted down, it suddenly flew slowly towards Xiari, completely like an obedient little dog. It had lost its previous ferocity and fierceness, and its previous wildness.
At this moment, everyone below was dumbfounded. The Land of Bears ninja were all amazed.
Just then, a young man came forward and said in a low voice, "Let's go now. Our captain guard already offended her. She definitely won't let us go. So let's run now. This woman is much more terrifying than those Star Ninja. If we don't run now, we won't have a chance."
Then, a group of people fled, shrinking back.
Xiari knew they were running, but she didn't care, nor did she pay them any mind. Her conflict with them was not great, and she didn't have the time to teach those people a lesson.
"Lord Hatake Kusuo, I have subdued this person."
Seeing the Hozuki Mangetsu that had been brought over, Kusuo nodded lightly.
