[Source]. The most powerful shinobi to come from the Hidden Stars Village in the Land of Bears, Akahoshi and his followers felt betrayed when the Third Hoshikage banned Star training, thus weakening the shinobi the village produced. While he at first pleaded with the Hoshikage to return to their old ways, a lack of results forced him to take more drastic action, assassinating his leader and naming himself Fourth Hoshikage. Knowing that Natsuhi and Hotarubi were likely still around attempting to continue the Third's will, and that many more might become suspicious regarding his death, he hired a team of Leaf genin to protect the Star. When Natsuhi attacked the training hall in disguise and stole the Star, Akahoshi copied her disguise to kidnap Sumaru, holding him hostage to get it back. When she inevitably returned, she found Sumaru in the training hall, which he had rigged to explode. When the Leaf shinobi witnessed this, they joined forces with Sumaru, Hokuto, and Mizura to turn the village against Akahoshi by revealing the side effects of the Star training. With his entire village turned against him, he confessed to murdering the Third, but proclaimed himself the Fourth Hoshikage, implanting the Star within himself enabling him to fight off every shinobi in the village. It was only through Naruto's Rasengan drilling through the Star, guided by Natsuhi's soul, that Akahoshi was defeated.
