Chapter 448 Naruto, you're so sassy!
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Zhu Chen and the others were preparing to set off for Binglan Star immediately, Bai Kaluo, who had been listening silently, suddenly stood up.
Luo Feng frowned slightly, turned to look at Bai Kaluo, and asked, "What is it?"
Bai Kalu raised his head and said solemnly, "Lord Luo Feng, and all the other lords, Binglan Star is not a no-man's-land. It belongs to the territory of the 'Kalu Empire' and is protected by imperial law. It is a registered and legally inhabited planet. The Nuolanshan family, as the actual controlling family of the planet, pays taxes to the empire and enjoys a certain degree of autonomy, but is also subject to imperial supervision."
"Our interception of the Norlan Mountain family fleet in this part of space can be considered an attack by space pirates. The Carlo Empire has a vast territory, and such incidents occur frequently in remote star systems. As long as it doesn't escalate too much, the Empire usually won't investigate it thoroughly, but..."
At this point, Baikaro's voice suddenly turned serious: "But if we directly land on Icestorm Star and carry out a large-scale massacre, the nature of the act will be completely different. That would be a blatant violation of the Carlo Empire's territorial sovereignty and a contempt for the Empire's laws!"
"The surveillance system on Icestorm Star, as well as the alarm system connected to the Imperial network, will surely upload the images and energy characteristics of the intruders to the relevant departments of the Carlo Empire in real time."
"At that time, even if we successfully wipe out the remnants of the Norlan Mountain family, we will immediately become wanted criminals by the Carlo Empire."
"The Carlo Empire is a mid-level cosmic civilization on par with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. It boasts a vast territory, numerous powerful individuals, and more than one immortal-level being overseeing it!"
"Once we are targeted by the Carlo Empire, we will find it impossible to move an inch within human territory, and it may even affect your Earth..."
Baikalu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over them, instantly calming everyone who was ready to go all out.
Han Li, in particular, was cautious by nature, and his brows immediately furrowed upon hearing the words "immortal-level expert".
Although he had never met an immortal-level powerhouse, he had heard Luo Feng and Babata mention them. They were terrifying beings who surpassed even world lords, possessed eternal life, and could easily destroy star systems!
Given their current strength, it would be extremely troublesome if they were targeted by such a force.
Lin Dong said somewhat impatiently, "According to you, didn't we just fight this battle for nothing? We can't go to Binglan Star, and what about the remnants of the Nuolan Mountain family?"
"It's not that you can't go."
At this moment, Zhu Chen's voice suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Dong turned to Zhu Chen: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Zhu Chen's gaze swept over Baikaluo, and he slowly said, "Baikaluo's concerns are quite reasonable. Landing directly with our true identities is too risky, but if we use other methods to land on Icestorm Star, then there won't be a problem..."
Lin Dong looked completely bewildered: "Big brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying!"
Wang Lin continued, "Big Brother means to use the 'transformation technique'."
Zhu Chen nodded: "That's right. Just now, Naruto and Han Li were able to disguise themselves as the Golden Horned Beast, deceive everyone, and intimidate the enemy. So what difficulty could there be in us disguising ourselves as other people to land on Ice Storm Star?"
Lin Dong's eyes lit up as he finally understood: "That's right! We can just transform into other people's appearances, can't we? The people from the Carlo Empire aren't even there. They can only see 'a group of intruders' through the surveillance cameras; they don't know who we are!"
Xiao Yan stroked his chin and chuckled playfully, "That's a good idea, but... what should we transform into? We can't just turn into random passersby, can we? That would only make us more suspicious."
Luo Feng had now understood Zhu Chen's plan. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In this universe, the most suitable people to do this kind of 'extermination and treasure-stealing' business, and the least likely to be investigated by the Empire, are space pirates. Let's disguise ourselves as space pirates and go to Icestorm Star."
"Space pirates?"
Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback.
She had some aversion to the word "bandit".
But at this moment she had to admit that it was indeed a good excuse.
"Yes, space pirates!"
Luo Feng nodded affirmatively, then continued, "There are countless space pirate gangs in the universe, and they act with absolutely no scruples. Attacking planets and plundering resources are commonplace for them."
"The Carlo Empire receives countless reports of space pirate attacks every day. All we need to do is disguise ourselves as a 'newly emerged' space pirate group, land on Icestorm Star, wipe out the Norlan Mountain family, steal their wealth, and then disappear quickly."
"The Carlo Empire will most likely just record this as yet another case of space pirate raiding, send out a regular fleet to investigate for a while and then leave it at that. They will never pursue it as relentlessly as they would with an 'unknown and powerful force that deliberately invaded the Empire.'"
"After all, for the Empire, the annihilation of a local family in a remote star system by space pirates is far less serious than 'an unknown and powerful force openly challenging the Empire's authority'."
"As long as we don't expose information about Earth or leave behind any obviously suggestive evidence, the risks are manageable..."
Luo Feng's explanation helped Wang Lin and the others better understand the situation of the Swallowed Star world.
No one objected to Luo Feng's suggestion.
After all, his plan perfectly solved the problem of their identities being exposed.
This is exactly what they need.
Lin Dong rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "Then it's settled! I can't wait to raid that Nuolan Mountain stronghold!"
"Great, so what should I become?"
Naruto is the most enthusiastic about transforming.
As he spoke, he began to daydream.
"How about I become a member of the Akatsuki? Or... become a member of the Otsutsuki clan?"
"Hmm, the Ōtsutsuki clan looks really powerful, and they're like aliens too. This is the one!"
As he spoke, his chakra surged, and white smoke exploded with a "bang".
When the smoke cleared.
A woman dressed in white, with two horns on her forehead, long flowing hair, Byakugan eyes, and the Sharingan in the center of her forehead, appeared before the crowd.
It is none other than the final boss of the Naruto world—Kaguya Otsutsuki!
"Holy crap, a transvestite..."
Xiao Yan looked at the excited "Kaguya-hime" and was speechless.
This design... is definitely alien enough, and quite intimidating.
But why is it a woman?
Is there something wrong with Naruto's sexual orientation?
"Ahem~, Naruto, isn't that a bit too much?"
Luo Feng sighed and couldn't help but say, "Space pirates are usually not that... glamorous, and we'd better unify our style, or at least look like a group."
He originally meant to say "slutty".
But Qian Renxue is still here.
So he had to use the word "magnificent" instead.
However, the woman that Naruto Uzumaki conjured up at that moment really startled him.
Because he never expected that Naruto Uzumaki would actually transform into a woman.
