Chapter 545 Everyone: ...hiss, this chapter——?

"I don't accept your conditions."

The boy's slightly childish voice was clearly carried by the wind into Minato Namikaze's ears, shocking him and confusing him at the same time.

Whose conditions?

Who doesn't accept it?

Namikaze Minato blinked and looked at his companions, trying to get a different answer, but Aburame Shihui and Akimichi Choza also looked at him - obviously, there was nothing wrong with their ears.

Sarah also looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, "What did he just say?"

"I'm probably talking to that long worm - it hurts! Crazy woman, why are you hitting me?"

"That's the dragon vein! The symbol of our Loulan! Show some respect!" Sarah glared at Naruto angrily, then turned her gaze to Ling who was at the seal of the dragon vein. Her eyes became a little strange, "Why on earth..."

"Did Princess Sarah discover something?"

Sarah looked at Minato Namikaze with doubt in his eyes, and after a moment's hesitation, she spoke, "As the royal family of Loulan, we have always had the ability to communicate with the dragon veins in a simple way. This is also the reason why we can use the power of the dragon veins and protect the people from the dragon disaster...

The so-called dragon disaster is the dragon vein's way of expressing its anger to the world every time it awakens. According to our Loulan records, this often occurs only once every few decades, and that is also the time when the dragon vein spreads its emotions most obviously - but now the dragon vein's emotional fluctuations are also very obvious, or rather, very intense. "

Sarah raised her eyes and looked at Ling who was confronting the dragon vein again, and added in her mind, [Very intensely exuding anxiety and urgency - what should I do? It's a bit embarrassing and I can't say it out loud.]

Namikaze Minato looked at the central platform that carried the dragon vein seal and guarded the only passage from afar. Seeing Uzumaki Yi smiling and waving at him when he looked over, he frowned slightly and asked, "Will this situation trigger a dragon disaster?"

"……I am not sure."

Sarah shook her head with a complicated expression, and didn't say anything about Ling's goal being to seize the dragon vein or something like that - after all, in the current situation, it was obvious that the dragon vein was trying to get the upper hand, but she really didn't know whether the dragon vein would get angry in the end, after all, the dragon vein had not responded to her call from beginning to end.

Namikaze Minato's expression immediately became solemn. He exhaled lightly and walked towards Uzumaki Yi, finally stopping three meters away from him. "I'm sorry, could you please ask Ling to stop? His current behavior is very dangerous."

"Yes, I know - but I'm sorry, Minato!" Uzumaki Yi folded his arms and stood in the two-meter-wide intersection in a somewhat idle manner, "Because I have already promised Ling, so this road is blocked!"

"Yi, Ling's actions may cause a riot in the dragon veins and form a dragon disaster. At that time, it will not be a disaster that only affects us," Namikaze Minato slowly pulled out his special kunai and looked at Uzumaki Yi with a pleading look, "I hope you can understand me. I must be responsible for my companions, my clients, and the innocent people."

"I understand your difficulties. I'm sure that a gentle person like you, Minato, would shine even in our time! But Minato, for people of our time, especially those in a big family like ours, reputation is something more important than life!"

Xuwo Yi chuckled and stood up straight. Although he still folded his arms, the golden orange diamond blockade spread out from behind him. "Since I promised Ling that I would fight for him wholeheartedly, I must do it - so I still say that this road is blocked!"

"Then take the risk—"

"So, Brother Yi, what is your friend doing?" Uzumaki Naruto approached the two without any tension, and even moved his feet to look behind Uzumaki Yi. "No matter how you look at it, it's not good."

"Well, I can explain this. Ling wants to practice ancient immortal arts!" Uzumaki Yi turned his gaze to Uzumaki Naruto, "and the practice of ancient immortal arts seems to require giving up chakra. He doesn't understand why he wants to do this, and he wants to know the consequences of doing so. That's why he came with me to see the dragon vein that can be called the incarnation of world consciousness!"

"Is he talking to that dragon vein now?" Uzumaki Naruto continued to look out, "I can only hear him talking to himself."

"Well! I have always admired him for his ability to attract non-human creatures!" Uzumaki Yi laughed loudly, "I didn't find the opportunity to tell you before, Ling is the human I know who gets along well with the tailed beasts! It's incredible! As for what you said about Ling talking to himself, it's only because we can't hear the sound of the dragon veins!

After all, although dragon veins can be seen with the naked eye, and I have also said that they can be called the embodiment of world consciousness, but in fact, dragon veins are just pure, extremely concentrated natural energy. They themselves should be invisible and intangible. There is no such thing as a physical thing. We can see it just like we can see tiny water droplets condensing into mist. It is a characteristic that will only appear when things gather to a certain extent.

Therefore, the words spoken by the dragon vein are not real sounds in essence, but a very special kind of fluctuation. Unless one's mental strength is strong to a certain extent, or one has a very high talent for practicing immortal arts and is extremely sensitive, it is impossible to hear this kind of sound beyond common sense!"

Uzumaki Naruto's eyes were empty. After a moment, he laughed as if he was relaxed. "I see! I totally understand now!"

Namikaze Minato looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a bit of helplessness, his shoulder muscles slightly relaxed, but he did not release the kunai, "So Yi, do you know what Ling and Longmai are talking about now?"

"I can know, but I don't know." Uzumaki Yi turned around, the smile on his face fading a little, "I don't know what the Uzumaki clan is like in later generations, but from the education I received, hearing things that others can't hear and seeing things that others can't see are all dangerous - excessive exploration will only lead to misfortune - this sentence represents one bloody example after another in our clan."

Namikaze Minato frowned even more tightly, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Ling's voice, which was slightly confused and dissatisfied, being sent into his ears by the increasingly strong wind pressure -

"Then what's the difference between you doing this and asking me to destroy the world?"

Everyone: ...hiss, what are you saying——?
