~Last time~

Y/n's Pov

"You mean we had a map the entire time?!" Shisui yells and Naruto laughs, "Ahahaha!" I giggle, "Oh well~ But shouldn't we get started?" Everyone nods, "Of course."

3rd Pov

"What are you doing here anyways, Guy?" Y/n asks looking at the sensi, He wasn't there in the anime… I don't think… I just let it slide because well- "Well my team of course!" Well that. But Neji leads this one and Naruto bribed mom with sweets… She thinks, "Oh, yeah…"

"Is something bothering you Y/n?" Neji asks. She shakes her head, "No, no, of course not!" Silence, "So uhhh," Y/n starts, "How long till we're there, we weren't that far off." Neji nods, "Not too long…"

"Uh, guys, where's Naruto?" Shisui asks. We all deadpan, "He went on a head." Yahiko informs, "I thought you guys knew." Y/n sweatdrops, "Uhh, how were we supposed to know?" She questions. Yahiko shrugs, "Because he's Naruto." He states simply.

~Elsewhere~

Naruto was indeed ahead of everyone else, as he states, "Alright! I'm here first!" He looks ahead of him, "Once I cross this valley, I'll be in the Land of Bears." He smiles, "The Village Hidden in the Stars is close." He then proceeds to jump down and run down the edge, only for arrows to be fired, "Wha?!" He uses them as a springboard to jump back up, backflipping.

He hides behind a rock and spots a person in a mask, the same person then fires an arrow with a string attached. It shoots right through the tree behind Naruto and the tip becomes a hook for grip. The person then runs across the rope and land in front of Naruto, "Why you!" He throws two kunai.

"Ninja Art: Kujaku Protection!" They shout as purple chakra comes from them. Naruto stares for a second, "That guy blocked my kunai knives with his chakra… Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He creates 4 clones but they just get stabbed through by the other guys chakra.

Finally, Tenten, Neji, Guy and Lee appear in front of Naruto, "Wait!" Neji says holding up his hand. Naruto looks at him "this guy's an enemy… he suddenly attacked!" Naruto exclaims.

"No, he saved your butt!" Y/n says, appearing with Shisui and Yahiko. With that the man drops his chakra, "You're the Leaf Shinobi, right?" He asks the removes his mask. Y/n nods, "Yeah, look!" She points at her headband. Naruto blinks, "Are you from the Village Hidden in the Stars?" Y/n looks at him, However would he knooowww? She thinks sarcastically.

"I'm Sumaru. I came to pick you guys up." The starboy states. Naruto stares at him, "Then why did you do such a thing?" He questions. Y/n looks down the cliff, "Probably because that gas isn't good for you." She says. Neji points and we all watch as a bird flies over and suddenly falls down and well, dies.

"Huh…?" Naruto lets out and walks over, he looks down to see just the bones of the once living being. Y/n sighs silently, If there was one person I could push down there now… who would it be…? She wonders, Oh! I wonder if I could eat that! She shakes her head, Wait, no. That's just stupid. She deadpans.

Lee looks at her, Is she alright? He wonders. Y/n looks over at him, "Hmm?" Lee shakes his head, "Nothing, nothing." Neji keeps explaining about the gas. Then Lee starts talking and Y/n focuses on something else, Star chakra… could I really use something like that safely?

Sumaru and Naruto have stare off, "Hate to break up this bromance, but we should get started as soon as possible." Y/n states and Sumaru nods, getting them to the village.

Y/n's Pov

"I am Akahoshi and I serve as the deputy Hoshkage of the Village Hidden in the Stars." Akahoshi states, Well I'm glad he's not confused with who he is. I think sarcastically, "Deputy… Hoshikage?" Tenten questions.

"Oh yeah… the Third Hoshikage was killed about a year ago…" I say, thinking out loud and the man nods slightly startled, "Well no, he died a year ago of illness… and due to that there's no Hoshikage in the village." Wasn't killed? Ehhh? Ohhh I get it. He wanted control or something… if I remember correctly.

"But, I heard the only ones who can refer to themselves as a Kage are the leaders of the Five Great Hidden Villages…" Neji brings up and Naruto looks at him in awe.

"That doesn't make any difference!" Sumaru protest and we turn to look at him, "We are not inferior to you guys! Even if we're small now, this village will someday rival the Hidden Villages of the Five Great Nations!" Sumaru argues, "At that time, I'll become the true Hoshikage!" He states and I nod and smile, "And I'm sure you'll make a much better leader than this guy-" I mutter under my breath, slight sarcasm in my words but I'm being mostly serious.

"Y/n…" Shisui mutters and I sigh shaking my head, I can handle this, would you two handle my idiot brother? Shisui and Yahiko nod, "Excuse us. We must take our leave." Shisui says, and exits. Naruto shoots me a confused look and I shake my head.

"Silence Samaru!" Akahoshi orders, "Go back to the training ground." He states. I purse my lips as Sumaru leaves, "H-Hey, wait up!" Naruto calls after him and runs off, go figure. My eyes train onto Guy-sensei. He isn't supposed to be here, no I know that. So why? I bite my lip, If I can't figure this out sooner than later, it might just be too late.

"Don't worry about him." Neji states, looking partially at me, but speaking to Akahoshi, "Please continue your story."

"Forgive me. As you say, the Shinobi in our village are not qualified to refer to themselves as a Kage." The man states, Is he being honest or just polite, "However, in this village, there is the star that all the Kage in the Five Great Hidden Villages also envy." Yes, the disease spreading star of death. "We will use the power of the star someday, this can become a village which can claim the Sixth Kage Title." He states.

"You seem pretty confident in that. You best hope that everyone's not dead by then." I state, almost coldly, "Excuse me, I don't feel right being here, I apologize." I say getting up, "Guy, could we talk?" The sensei nods, "Of course Y/n!" He bows his head and walks out with me.

"What's troubling you, oh youthful one?" He questions and I purse my lips, "Uh, this is rude sounding but, why are you here?" I ask and he frowns, "W-Well… It's my team..." I shake my head, "You probably weren't supposed to come, so why?"

"How'd you know I wasn't originally coming?" He asks me and I sigh, "Reasons. I just need to know, know if I need to be prepared for anything…" I look to see Naruto searching for Sumaru and I smile slightly.

"Well, I had a really bad feeling about this-" I shake my head, "Yeah, and I could tell you in slight detail why you have every reason to be, but I feel speaking the future would be bad." Guy stares at me, "The… future?" I nod, "Mmm…. I… nevermind, forget I said anything and if you need help there, I can completely- I'll just do that, give me a few." He gives a confused look and I wave my hand in front of his face, taking the memories of my little slip up away, I should stop doing this…

"What just happened?" Guy asks and I smile, "Oh nothing, I just needed some fresh air, thanks for trying to answer my question though." He nods, "Of course! I hope you figure out whatever you need to!" I nod back, "Yeah, well, you get back to your team and I'll go… find the blonde."

I jump away and find Naruto and Sumaru talking, "Everyone in this village has a name associated with stars." Sumaru tells Naruto, "After all, this is a village where a star fell." I jump down by them, "Hey." They both look at me in shock, "What are you doing here?" Sumaru asks and I shrug, "I don't particularly like talking with that older guy, besides, Naruto ran off and I like to keep an eye on my friends."

"Hey! I can take care of myself! Believe it!" Naruto protest and I smile, "I'm aware, but you could also destroy half the village." Naruto goes silent and I snicker, "So what're you two talking about anyways?"

"That's a good question, what're you trying to elicit from me?" Sumaru asks Naruto, accusingly. Naruto smiles and folds his arms behind his head, "What? Nothing in particular. I haven't thanked you for earlier, so."

I can tell even if you give me the runaround… The people from other lands are all after the star." I shake my head, "Not really. That thing can cause a serious problem for people, a disease that'll kill some people. Of course you're not informed about this because he wants you to become his loyal powerful soldiers or whatever." I mutter. Sumaru looks at me, "You're lying!" I sigh, "I figured you say that, just wait." I tell him.

"You're just saying that because with the power of the star you can stand above all of the Hidden Villages, so…" Sumaru states and I roll my eyes, "Believe what you will."

"Is your awesome Chakra also the power of the star?" Naruto asks, "If they had that star, would everyone have the same Chakra as you?" Naruto questions and Sumaru turns around, "No! The more tremendous the power, the more hard work is required to control it!" Sumaru shouts, "I'll work hard, work hard, work hard!" He says, "I'll become the Hoshikage!"

"Yeah! I look forward to working with you at that time!" Naruto states and I give a small smile, Of course. "I'm also going to become the Hokage someday, believe it!"

"You're a strange guy." Sumaru states and I snicker, "That, my dear friend, is an understatement." Naruto laughs, "Really?" I nod, "Ohhh yeah. But that's who you are so you'd better not change that." Naruto grins, "I won't! Believe it!"

"And what about you?" Sumaru ask me and I shrug, "I'm pretty odd myself, but hey, I'm special~" Sumaru raises an eyebrow, "Oh really? Are you strong?" He asks and I shrug, "Well-"

"You bet she is!" Naruto exclaims, "She's one of the strongest ninja's I know!" Sumaru looks at him, "Well, maybe sometime I'd get to see that strength." He states and I smirk, "Perhaps." Though I don't think you'll like WHY you have to see that strength.

We finally reach the more destroyed part, but entrance to the temple, "They really are collapsed entirely from the center towards the outside." Naruto observes, "When a star explodes in mid air, it seems they collapse like this." Sumaru stops and points, "That's the training area where the star is enshrined."

"Hurry up and show me the star." Naruto says with a smile. Sumaru stops, "No. People from other lands aren't allowed beyond this spot."

"But the star is over there, right?" Naruto protest, "I can't protect it if I can't get close to it!" That's a pretty valid point.

"It's not like we trust you guys." Sumaru states. Naruto faces him, "Geez, you're such a suspicious guy!" Naruto says, "Why can't you trust us who came here on a mission?!"

"This is my personality, you see." Sumaru states. I spot the guy running from the building, "Uh… guys."

"Well that's stupi-" Naruto starts, "NO TIME PERSON RUNNING WITH THE STAR RIGHT THERE!" I point and shout, catching both their attentions.

"No way!" Sumaru shouts. Naruto pats his shoulder, "You go to your friends in the training area, Y/n and I will chase him!" Sumaru goes to protest, "Hurry, they might need medical help… Actually, Naruto, maybe I should stay back…" He nods, "Right! Hurry!"

"Right, ok." We take off and Sumaru and I run in to find the ninja lying face down on the ground. Sumaru runs over to one, "Hokuto!" He holds up his finger with some chakra and she wakes up, "Samaru… I'm sorry." I facepalm, "We couldn't protect the star…"

"Well it's better that you're alive so you have another chance." I mumble. Then I sense a large spike in the guys chakra, "Naruto…" I bite my tongue and sit by some of the other ninja, slowly waking them up.

"Thanks." Sumaru utters and I nod, "Of course." I hear a crash, "Gotta go!" I mutter and run out the door to see Naruto being attacked by a giant beast of star chakra, "Naruto!" I hear Sumaru shout from behind me. The attacker suddenly changes course upon noticing Samaru, "Wings!" With that chakra wings form.

"What?! You can fly?!" Naruto shouts as he the person flies away, "Yeah…" I jump up and hover on the air, "I'm sorry.." Naruto apologizes, "It's my fault for leaving it to you." Sumaru states and I roll my eyes, "Whatever dude."

"So should I go after him or…?" But nope, they're too busy arguing.

"You're saying it's someone from this village?" Naruto asks, "I don't know…" Sumaru states and I shake my head and drop down to the ground again, "It is." I state, "I can see that much, from the attire to the chakra…" Especially with use of Byakugan.

"I'm the one who let him get away. I'll get the star back, no matter what!" Naruto says in a determined matter.

"I'll be helping, sorry Naruto. I should've come with you…" Sumaru looks at me, "Could you have done better?" He questions. My eye twitches, "I asked if I should go after him but you two were too busy to answer."

"What? When?!" Sumaru asks and I shake my head, "Too little, too late."
