Chapter 199 199. Dragon Vein Crossing
After the first rays of sunlight pierce the darkness, the temperature in the desert begins to rise rapidly.
Following the clues left by Danzo, Naruto took Shisui and chased him all the way to the Desert of the Kingdom of Wind.
Facing the vast sea of sand, Shisui had no choice but to continue moving forward based on his intuition. During the period, the two of them even encountered a sandstorm and wasted several hours traveling to avoid the sandstorm.
Standing on the sand dune, Naruto took out the desert map from his backpack and looked into the distance.
Soon, Naruto discovered the ruins of the city buried by the wind and sand, as well as the small gathering place on the oasis near the ruins, and gradually narrowed his eyes.
The combination of the two keywords desert and ruins is the miracle Loulan in the desert.
It was an extremely prosperous city built on dragon veins, but eventually it declined due to the seal of the dragon veins and became a small tribe in the desert.
The wind and sand covered Danzo's traces. He came to the ancient country of Loulan to try his luck based on speculation.
There are only two directions for Danzo to risk his escape towards the Kingdom of Wind. One is to go to Sand Hidden Village along the oasis along the way, and the other is to go deep into the desert and run to Loulan.
The existence of dragon veins in Loulan is a secret to ordinary ninjas, but to Danzo, it is not a secret.
Putting back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Naruto jumped down from the sand dune and said to Shisui: "There is a desert oasis nearby. Let's go and have a look first and find a way to fill our stomachs."
Shisui looked at Huangsha with confusion: "Lord Menma, is Danzo really around here?"
"Duanzo can't escape far. Let's go to the oasis first to see if there are any remnants of Danzo in the oasis."
Naruto doesn't know whether Danzo is in Loulan or not, but if he wants to make the most of the Dragon Vein, he must find the Queen of Loulan. Only the Queen of Loulan who has signed a contract with the Dragon Vein can make the most of the power of the Dragon Vein.
Not long after, Naruto and Shisui dived into the oasis.
There are many root ninjas lurking in the oasis, restricting the oasis residents from going out.
With a look, Naruto and Shisui knocked out the root ninja and saved the oasis residents.
According to the residents of the oasis, they are the remnants who are unwilling to leave Loulan. They guard the last queen Sara here, hoping that one day they can restore Loulan to its former glory.
People always recall the good times of the past. Shisui thought of his past self and had the illusion of looking in the mirror.
Naruto then asked about the news about Genbu. Genbu had been here for more than half a month and had been active in the ruins of Loulan for most of the time, but he still controlled the oasis.
Their leader, Sarah, was kidnapped by alien ninjas a few hours ago.
After looking at each other, Naruto and Shisui disappeared and found the kidnapped Queen Sara in the largest tent.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Naruto directly opened the Sharingan, and the genjutsu controlled the root ninja, allowing it to kill itself. Then he looked at Queen Sara who fell on the ground. Sara looked to be in her thirties, with a wary look on her face. He said: "Thank you for your help, but why did you appear next to the ruins of Loulan? Do you also want to steal..."
At this moment, Sara noticed Naruto's mask, and her face softened a lot: "You should be here for the dragon vein. The dragon vein has been sealed by the Fourth Hokage. Even if I was the Queen of Loulan, I can't control it."
"We are not here for the dragon vein. Although the dragon vein is powerful, to me it is just a dispensable power. We are here to hunt down the enemy. Have you seen the leader of this group of ninjas, a one-eyed man wrapped in a bandage? Old man."
Sitting on the couch, Sara shook her head slightly: "I have never seen the old man with a bandage, but their target is probably the dragon vein. Their purpose of holding me hostage is to seize the power of the dragon vein."
"Where is the dragon vein now?"
Sara hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Dragon Vein is in the Lost Tower, which is the tallest building in the Loulan ruins. It is where the core of the Dragon Vein is stored."
"Thank you, Queen Sara..." After getting the information he wanted, Naruto patted Shisui on the shoulder and rushed towards the location of the Lost Tower.
Shisui glanced at Queen Sara behind him with a thoughtful expression.
After Naruto and Shisui left, a little girl of eight or nine years old emerged from the collapse, pointing to the outside of the tent and said:
"Mama Sara, that ninja wearing the fox mask, you always mentioned to me when I was a child. Is he the person that Mama Sara often talked about?"
Sara touched her adopted daughter's head and shook her head: "I don't know, maybe it's that person."
The little girl said with some confusion: "Maybe... Sara's mother always talked about him and taught me to be a courageous child. Why didn't I have the courage to speak just now?"
Sara fell into silence, and the only sound left in the tent was the sound of yellow sand blowing by.
…
As the only standing tower among the ruins, the Lost Tower is easy to identify.
Naruto and Shisui were looking towards the Lost Tower while looking at the ruins that were mostly buried with only a corner exposed. Just by looking at these ruins, they could get a glimpse of Loulan's prosperity back then.
Zhisui said with emotion: "Lord Menma, I have only heard that Loulan is very prosperous before, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous. It is even comparable to the capital of the Land of Fire. The power of the dragon vein is really powerful."
Naruto said disapprovingly: "The power of ninjas is not much smaller, but the emphasis is on the military aspect. In another year or two of development, Uzumaki Village and Wave Country will be much more prosperous than Loulan."
Shisui nodded, he could see the changes in Uzushio Village.
In just two years, it transformed from a small fishing village into a modern port city, all thanks to Menma-sama.
As the distance got closer, both Naruto and Shisui noticed the dragon vein aura sealed in the Lost Tower. This power was no less powerful than the tailed beasts, and it was even continuous because it was rooted in the earth.
According to Naruto's memory, Dragon Vein is not a force native to the ninja world. Like the sacred tree, it comes from the starry sky.
A few minutes later, Naruto and Shisui appeared at the Lost Tower. Danzo and several root ninjas could be vaguely seen from a few hundred meters away. They seemed to be breaking the seal of the dragon vein.
When Naruto discovered Danzo and others, Danzo also discovered Naruto and Shisui, with fear in his eyes.
It was not easy for the Fourth Hokage to break the seal set by him. It took him and his subordinates several hours to get some clues. It would take about two hours to completely break it...
It happened that at this time, the leader of Uzushio Village and Zhisui came to the door.
After letting his subordinates form a defense formation, Danzo's expression was gloomy and he kept looking at Naruto and the core of the dragon veins beside him. At this point, he could only reveal himself and break the seal.
However, the nature of dragon veins is not stable. It is not known what will happen after being severely stimulated by external sources.
But the consequences are definitely no less than the Tailed Beast Jade exploding on the spot, which makes Danzo a little confused.
When did I become as hesitant as Sarutobi Hiruzen... Is it because I have been dormant in the darkness for many years, or I have lost the confidence of Konoha as my backer. As the Hokage in the darkness, I can never back down.
When Danzo was hesitant, a red-haired figure appeared on the other side of the Lost Tower. He stretched out his palm and shouted: "Feel the pain, Shinra Tensei!"
Along with the violent fluctuations of chakra, the air was rapidly compressed by the repulsive force.
It blasted towards Danzo unstoppably, and even the dragon vein seal became shaky and could be violently destroyed at any time.
Before Danzo could be killed by one blow, the Six Paths of Pain emerged from behind Nagato and quickly pounced on Danzo, intending to block Danzo on the spot without giving him any chance to resist.
The moment he saw the Rinnegan, Danzo's face darkened, and he circled around with the help of the Dragon Vein Core.
It was not until five seconds later that the repulsive force of Shinra Tianzheng broke out again, sweeping across the entire Lost Tower.
This time, the dragon vein seal was overwhelmed, and the huge repulsive force directly hit the core of the dragon vein. The huge ability burst out in an instant, forming a huge vortex that enveloped the surrounding area of dozens of meters, constantly swallowing foreign objects.
The huge attraction swallowed Danzo instantly. Although Nagato and Pain Six Paths tried their best to resist, they were still swallowed by the dragon veins after a few seconds and disappeared into the void.
What the two of them didn't notice was that there was an unlucky guy lurking on the ceiling who was also involved.
Faced with such a large-scale movement, Shisui and the root ninja looked at each other, both at a loss.
Looking at the vortex generated by the dragon's vein energy, Naruto glanced at Shisui beside him and said: "Shisui, after dealing with the remaining root remnants nearby, stay where you are. Don't let others get close to this place. I will be back soon."
After saying that, Naruto stepped forward and walked into the dragon vein vortex.
In addition to providing energy, the power of dragon veins can also burst out the power to travel through time and space in an instant, but it is not known to what point in time it will travel.
