Chapter 222 Awakening of Insects (page 12)

Loulan King Wokun is getting married.

Although he was the king, the country was small and there were few people, and there were even fewer people with ninjutsu talents. Among the women in the clan and from the side branches, there was actually not much choice for him to choose from among the women who were as outstanding as possible.

This is considered a big event. I repeatedly considered whether to invite the small tribes in the surrounding oases to send out invitations. In the end, I was afraid of making things too troublesome, so I decided to have fun with my own people and hold a celebration in the town. .

Wokkun couldn't help but think of last year's altar apparition and the man who appeared afterward.

I had monitored him for a period of time at first, but those ordinary guards couldn't trace his whereabouts at all. I could occasionally sense him wandering around the city, but after a certain period of time, he never came again.

Showing goodwill on the one hand, I did have the idea of ​​​​inquiring about his current situation, and sent someone to take the token and send him a wedding invitation.

It is common for sand dunes to be moved by the wind. The locals did not notice any abnormalities in the hills outside Loulan.

The ordered guard was pointed in an unknown direction by King Loulan, so he had no choice but to complete the task.

When I got close to what I thought was a sand dune, I realized that it was actually a hill. The surface was also covered with a layer of yellow sand. However, it was obvious that the ground below was made of huge rocks. However, these were not like the stones that can be seen in the desert, and they were neatly stacked. , although the stone is huge, it is undoubtedly a man-made result.

If it was a ninja's ability, it wouldn't be surprising. After all, he was the king's personal guard, so he still had some perspective.

Someone actually lives here, who could it be?

The guard walked around the hill in a daze, not seeing the entrance. He reported the current situation here to the king, which could be regarded as completing the task.

"what's up."

The wind and sand swirled, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him,

"Are you Mr. Fan who lives here?"

"Our king is getting married soon. If you are free, I hope you can come to watch the ceremony."

The guard quickly handed the seal and a letter to the man.

As soon as the figure waved, the envelope that was pressed under the seal was pulled away and floated over.

"Convey to me, thank you for the king's invitation, I will go."

The guard took the seal and excused himself.

Usually when I travel occasionally, I leave directly from the base across space. There is no need to show up here to eat sand and rush on the road. Therefore, there is no passage entrance and exit because it is unnecessary. The hill on the surface is just a less conspicuous ventilation passage.

Unfold the letter, get married, five days later.

I'm sure there will be someone there to welcome you when you go there. Loulan is not a big place, so you can find it in no time. But everyone has to express their gratitude after accepting the invitation. You have to consider sending a congratulatory gift that is of appropriate value and decent.

It has been almost a year since I traveled here, and I don't know if the fusion of Hashirama's cells has gone smoothly. Anyway, I haven't seen the reincarnation eye.

Hashirama's cells have eroded more than 60% of his body, and the area of ​​endless itching has increased. He has even become accustomed to it. Fortunately, no other abnormalities have appeared.

A few days after the injection, I discovered that I didn’t need to keep the Sharingan open. I could suppress the spread of cells by myself. Especially after covering more than half of the area last month, I had a cell that I could counter with on my own. Following the trend, the diffusion rate suddenly decreased.

It is said that Uchiha and Senju are equally matched, and now I have experienced it personally.

Although he can be countered, he will not underestimate Hashirama Cell.

This is much more significant than the improvement in strength brought by Naruto's cells.

Not to mention that the chakra speed has been greatly improved, even the physical fitness is now no longer tired due to ordinary daily training.

Medical ninjutsu combined with the cell regeneration technology in Orochimaru's hands. I once relied on physical exercise to make myself stronger, but now it seems more like a clumsy method of last resort.

The addition of Hashirama Cells gave him the capital to become a top medical ninja.

Change eyes? I haven't tried it on myself yet, but it has been successfully achieved on experimental subjects. Although plug and play is a bit exaggerated, after each operation, it always takes a few minutes of healing medical ninjutsu to repair it.

There is an obvious disadvantage. If you are not hungry, the chakra recovery speed will be significantly reduced when you are hungry.

Now Sasuke's appetite is much better than when he was practicing the Yin Seal. The large appetite that is common among yang-type ninjas has been perfectly reproduced in himself. Every day, he is like a ruthless and efficient converter of organic matter to chakra. It is okay not to use chakra, but he has to eat as many meals as he consumes.

The ability to travel through space is now used once or twice a day, and it does not place a heavy burden on the Sharingan. However, if it is used frequently for food, it is not necessary no matter how you think about it. If there are side effects that add up, I still don’t plan to take the risk. .

The poor food culture of Loulan Kingdom naturally cannot satisfy him, so the only one left here is a shadow clone responsible for the construction and transformation of the base.

The main base was set up in the Kingdom of Kawa, between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, in the forest underground near the sea. Orochimaru's habit of building underground palace bases everywhere can be said to be a cold-blooded snake, but his concealment is indeed top-notch.

-

A few days later, Sasuke was invited to Loulan.

There are colorful colored papers, curtains, and cheap decorations everywhere. The streets closer to the center of the city are getting denser with people. There are acrobatic stalls, musical instruments, food stalls, and various groceries... I didn't think there were many people in the city before. I didn’t expect that so many people could be gathered together, it’s not easy.

It can be heard from the few words of passers-by that this kind of pomp is almost on the same level as the annual Harvest Festival and New Year Festival. Many caravans came, and they spontaneously passed information around. If there were no business opportunities, they took the initiative to create business opportunities.

Even if Loulan didn't go out of his way to notify him, there were people from the surrounding towns and villages who came to join in the fun (to make money).

He took the invitation out from under his cloak and showed it to the guard at the entrance of the palace.

"Mr. Fan, please come inside. Food and wine are prepared in the garden. Please feel free to use them."

He handed the prepared gifts to the registration desk at the door and looked at the gifts they had given. There were pottery, fruits, spices, and animals. The nine pieces of high-grade cloth he had should be suitable.

For a guest like Sasuke who comes alone, Wokkun also prepares a maid to accompany him to avoid the embarrassment of having no one to talk to and hit him.

Although it is in the desert, the large courtyard has carefully maintained plants in flower beds, small ponds, and large carpets spread in the middle of the road. Waiters are on standby with tools, ready for various maintenance work. It can be seen that the king of Loulan is also showing off his financial resources as much as possible.

Calling it a wedding viewing ceremony is similar to a gathering of upper-class people. Perhaps, calling it a family gathering is no big deal. There were at least a dozen redheads among the hundreds of people in the courtyard, but they were not that bright.

Similarly, people with some strength also gathered here. There were more than twenty people who could clearly see the chakra reaction. According to Konoha, they were all genin and chuunin.

I tasted the drinks here and waited in the shade for the wedding to start.

There were also some people who felt that Sasuke was faintly showing off his not weak chakra, and saw him alone and came over to talk and build relationships. Sasuke, who was not his original appearance, gave up with a few cold words.

The wedding began with speeches, waving from the high tower in the inner courtyard to the citizens surrounding the outside, looking forward to the future, and the king and queen walked into the auditorium from the courtyard.
