Chapter 318 Loulan! Changes in time and space

Xia Li leaned back in his chair, thinking, why should he become stronger?

When he first came to this world, he was also full of confusion. At that time, he not only did not think about becoming stronger, but he did not even think about living in this world.

Then Sinai slowly helped Xia Li find a reason to live, just for that strong mother, he could not die easily.

When he began to seriously consider how to survive in this dangerous world with various abilities and bloodlines, he came to the conclusion that he needed to become stronger and take his life into his own hands.

For this reason, he not only worked very hard in training, but also always calculated how to pass on his performance to the Third Hokage.

After all, in such a class, there are Naruto and many descendants of the family. As long as he performs much better than others, it is difficult not to be noticed by the Third Hokage.

Then take advantage of the fact that the Third Hokage is old. The other party is no longer the ninja hero who dominated the ninja world before. Old people usually miss people when they see things, and make decisions that they would never make when they are young.

Not to mention the Sandaime Hokage, who was originally very soft-hearted.

With a clean background and scarce training resources, his talent was better than any of the children of those families.

Being able to perform so well under such a lack of training resources can only prove that Xia Li's talent is by no means ordinary. With training, he can at least be an excellent jonin, and even have a high probability of becoming a ninja like the three ninjas.

So Xia Li also successfully attracted the attention and investment of the Sandaime Hokage.

However, his plan at that time was still to replace Sakura and become a member of Team 7. After all, although he thought about whether he could become a disciple of the three ninjas, it was really a bit too ambitious.

Moreover, given the situation of the three ninjas at that time, Xia Li actually did not think that they would return to the village to accept him as a disciple.

So in order to get better resources, his target could only be Sakura, but plans could not keep up with changes, and he unexpectedly became Jiraiya's disciple.

Although it seems that Jiraiya didn't teach Xia Li anything, this identity also made Xia Li's road less obstructed from then on, and things that he couldn't do before could now be done openly.

Therefore, Xia Li never complained about Jiraiya's "partiality". After all, the most important thing for Xia Li was the identity of Jiraiya's apprentice.

Even if Jiraiya was willing to teach, Xia Li himself might not be willing to learn, because he had his own arrangements and plans!

After that, Xia Li's strength has been getting stronger. Now, with his strength, he no longer needs to worry about survival.

Even before those monsters came out, Xia Li was now the strongest existence in the ninja world. Only Naruto in the fairy fox mode could compete with Xia Li, but Xia Li still did not give up the pace of becoming stronger.

Not only because of the enemies in the future, but also a very important point is that this world can provide Xia Li with too few interesting toys.

So much so that Xia Li's greatest pleasure now is to feel his strength getting stronger little by little.

After all, becoming stronger is a kind of fun for Xia Li.

Moreover, Xia Li also thought that if he could reach a strength that no one before him had reached, could he gain the ability to travel through the world? In this way, he might be able to return to his own world to take a look.

Even if there are countless worlds, it doesn't matter if he can't find his previous world. When that time comes, it will be fun to go to other worlds to play.

As for worrying about future enemies, Xia Li is no longer worried now. Naruto has now reached the strongest state before the Six Paths Naruto. Is there still a possibility of mistakes?

Even if Xia Li's plan did not succeed, it would not be worse than the ending of the original work, so Xia Li has completely put his mind at ease.

At this time, Xia Li slowly walked to the window and looked at the sky in the distance.

Sometimes he also felt a little bored, so he had to find something interesting.

At this time, Nara Shikaku came in with a scroll, and Xia Li returned to his seat again.

"What happened again?" Xia Li asked and took the scroll from Nara Shikaku.

"Hokage, it's a request from the Sand Village. A traitor named Baizu appeared in the Sand Village. Now the Sand Village is also chasing him, but unfortunately he hides every time." Nara Shikaku briefly explained.

"So, the Sand Ninja wants to ask us to help them arrest the traitor in the name of an alliance?" Xia Li asked.

"Yes." Nara Shikaku nodded.

"Just charge the standard fee according to the level of the other party." Xia Li said casually. Even if it is an alliance, it is impossible to help the other party for free.

"Yes." Nara Shikaku responded, and then he had to arrange people to deal with it. As long as the task of arranging ninjas was not a high-level task, Xia Li handed it over.

At this moment, Xia Li paused, because he saw the details on the scroll. The other party disappeared in the extinct country of Loulan?

Suddenly, Xia Li narrowed his eyes, and his heart was suddenly in turmoil.

"Wait a minute!" Xia Li called Nara Shikaku.

"Is there anything else you need to tell me? Lord Hokage." Nara Shikaku was a little strange. In his opinion, this was also an ordinary task.

If this task was not a request from the allied Sand Village, then Nara Shikaku might not have reported this matter to the Hokage.

"Loulan, have you heard of this place?" Xia Li asked at this time.

After thinking for a while, Nara Shikaku said, "Of course I have heard of it. It was famous for having a dragon vein there before, but it seems that the power of the dragon vein has disappeared since a certain moment.

I remember that Konoha also had a mission about Loulan before. At that time, those who went to Loulan to carry out the mission included Akimichi Choza, Aburame Shiwei, and the Fourth Hokage who had not yet become the Fourth Hokage."

Xia Li nodded, then stood up and walked towards the archives room.

Although Nara Shikaku didn't quite understand why Xia Li was suddenly interested in Loulan, he didn't ask much and followed Xia Li into the archives room.

Soon, Xia Li found the mission scroll left by the Fourth Hokage at that time, which recorded the situation at that time.

"Really..." Xia Li took the scroll, patted the dust on it, and then opened it.

Soon, Xia Li finished reading the mission records on it. Sure enough, there was nothing special about it, and there was no mention of any future people.

Xia Li couldn't help rubbing his temples at this time. He originally thought that there was no such mission, but now it seems that it is not that there is no such mission, but something unexpected happened in the process.

Otherwise, with Xia Li's personality, he would definitely come into contact with this mission and leave traces that he can find now.

However, until now, Xia Li has not found any traces from the past, which is why Xia Li thinks that there is no such mission.

Xia Li squinted his eyes. No matter what, he would join this mission, try to go back to the past, and try to change the past.

Because, such an interesting thing, how can he be missing?

After Xia Li returned to the office, he also thought about who should be arranged to go there. I remember that in the original work, this mission was probably carried out by Team 7, right?

In the original work, Team 7 at this time should be Yamato, Naruto, Sakura and Sai.

The arrangement in the original work is not suitable here, after all, Tianzang Sai is not familiar with Naruto and Sakura.

As for Sai, Xia Li also listened to Tianzang's report, and slowly began to recover the emotions belonging to humans, but sometimes behaved a little strangely.

But Xia Li felt that Tenzo had no right to say anything about Sai, because he himself was actually the same. He could only say that it was all Danzo's fault, for torturing a good boy like this.

Among them, Sai and Tenzo were probably the ones with relatively mild cases...

After thinking for a while, Xia Li said, "Let Kakashi lead this mission, and the team members are Naruto and Sakura."

In fact, Xia Li also wanted to add Sasuke, but Sasuke probably didn't have time to do the mission recently. His eyes haven't recovered yet, and he is still practicing the Sage Mode.

So, Xia Li could only remove Sasuke from the list.

Nara Shikaku was a little surprised. Looking at Xia Li, he couldn't help but ask, "Hokage-sama, isn't it a bit of a waste to let Naruto go on this mission?"

After all, Nara Shikaku knew Naruto's current strength. Is this mission so difficult? Does he need Naruto to go?

"Well, a little bit. Then tell Naruto when notifying him that he is not allowed to use the power of the Nine-Tails at will unless he encounters an emergency." Xia Li said after thinking for a while.

Nara Shikaku was a little speechless. After confirming that Xia Li was not joking, he had no choice but to leave.

Nara Shikaku was also thinking, there must be a reason for Xia Li to do this, right?

Soon, this task was arranged by Nara Shikaku, and Nara Shikaku also told Naruto the requirements of the task according to Xia Li's instructions.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately understood that this was to train his physical skills? He agreed without thinking too much.

After Naruto and the other two set off, Xia Li's original body also followed quietly. Naruto naturally could not find Xia Li when he did not enter the fairy fox mode.

A day or two later, Kakashi led Naruto and Sakura to Loulan, but the specific location of the centipede still needed to be explored.

Xia Li, who was following behind them, sensed the slight chakra fluctuations and couldn't help but look around. They were all the unique puppet techniques of the Sand Ninjas, and the chakra Xia Li sensed was naturally the chakra line needed to manipulate these puppets.

It seems that Kakashi and Sakura have noticed something, but...

Xia Li couldn't help but cover his head when he saw Naruto walking in front of him carelessly. Suddenly, he thought, is it really good to let Naruto master such a powerful ability as the Fox Mode?

Obviously, Naruto's experience now does not match his current strength at all...

Xia Li thought for a while, and sure enough, he still had to assign a task to Kakashi, which was to watch Naruto accept the task.

What Naruto needs to do is to do a lot of tasks without using the Fox Mode to improve his experience, but in order for Naruto not to be used, Kakashi must watch in secret.

Otherwise, in Xia Li's view, Naruto is now like a child holding a Desert Eagle, with the power to pull the trigger, but it may hurt himself and his companions...

In order to avoid this, Naruto still has to continue to grow.

Xia Li rubbed his forehead. This is the gap between Naruto and Sasuke. If it was Sasuke, Xia Li would not have to worry about these.

Soon, the centipede also attacked Kakashi and the other two.

Kakashi performed as well as usual, but he seemed to understand Xia Li's intention and wanted to give Naruto and Sakura experience, so he didn't do anything.

Sakura's performance was also excellent. She quickly realized that those were puppets from the Sand Village, and she had specially brought a chakra sword when she learned about the mission.

That was a weapon that could assist ninjas to use chakra to condense on the sword and easily cut off the chakra line.

Compared with Sakura, Naruto's experience was much worse. After all, Naruto was protected too well before. Although he was very powerful, he didn't know how to use it. Facing these puppets in front of him, he actually chose to rush up and do it hard.

The result is conceivable. Naruto has a sense of pain, but the puppets don't. Even if they are smashed, as long as the key parts are not destroyed, they can still move and attack...

In the end, Naruto was "saved" by Kakashi.

At this time, Kakashi also roughly saw Naruto's problem, and he also understood more and more why Xia Li made such an arrangement.

As for Kakashi's idea, Xia Li could only say that it was just an accident, and he just happened to hit the point that Naruto lacked the most.

At this moment, Kakashi suddenly rolled his eyes, because he suddenly had a hunch that Xia Li, who now knew Naruto's shortcomings, would probably find ways to make up for Naruto's shortcomings.

As Naruto's instructor, Kakashi felt that the task of helping Naruto make up for his shortcomings was most likely to be given to him...

This gave Kakashi a headache, after all, Naruto was really torturous in this regard, even worse than Sakura.

In this way, Naruto obviously had the power to easily kill the centipede, but the centipede still escaped to the ruins of Loulan, and the other party also found the seal of the dragon vein.

"That's... the teacher's Flying Thunder God Kunai!" Kakashi also shrank his eyes at this time, and finally recalled the matter of Loulan. He had come here to do a mission before!

Kakashi frowned. He thought that a centipede had no ability to remove the seal of his teacher, but nothing was absolute, so Kakashi shouted directly.

"Naruto, Sakura, stop him from breaking the seal!"

"Hehe, it's too late, the legendary copy ninja Kakashi." At this time, Baizu had already placed one hand on the Flying Thunder God Kunai of the Fourth Hokage.

"You don't have the ability to remove the teacher's seal." Kakashi said directly.

"Indeed, I don't have the ability to remove the seal of the Fourth Hokage, but I have never wanted to remove his seal!" Baizu laughed, and then a large number of spells suddenly appeared on his body.

"This is... not good, Naruto, retreat!" Kakashi shouted at this time, because Naruto rushed the fastest and was closest to Baizu.

However, it was too late for Kakashi to shout Naruto at this time. A strong white light suddenly emerged from Baizu's body, and this light quickly spread to the surroundings, and soon enveloped Naruto.

At this time, Naruto also quickly used the fairy fox mode, but what surprised Naruto was that this white light seemed... not to hurt.

"Naruto!!" Kakashi frowned at this moment, and rushed into the light without hesitation.

At the end, Sakura looked at the constantly broken road, and like Kakashi, she did not hesitate and rushed into the light.

What they did not realize was that above the light, a figure quietly entered the light at the first time.

After Xia Li entered the light, he had a strange feeling, which seemed to be a bit similar to the process of fighting with Otsutsuki Urashiki. Is this... the fluctuation of time?

Xia Li was thinking, and slowly opened his eyes, and saw a wonderful space. Is this a space that allows people to travel through time and space?

At this time, Xia Li seemed to feel a familiar breath vaguely, and there seemed to be a Flying Thunder God mark around this familiar breath.

Xia Li felt that he seemed to be able to use Flying Thunder God with this mark.

However, what would be the result of using Flying Thunder God in this space? Xia Li was not sure.

If he did not use Flying Thunder God, the final result would probably be that he and Naruto or Baizu arrived at the same time.

However, it was obvious that using Flying Thunder God might be... more interesting.

Because, unknown challenges are a bit interesting. Even if he went back to the past with Naruto, that was a known thing. Although Xia Li was also looking forward to changing something, it was not as interesting as new unknown things.

So, after hesitating for a while, Xia Li's chakra suddenly burst out, grasped that feeling, and used Flying Thunder God.

During the use, Xia Li was also very surprised, because this was the Flying Thunder God that consumed the most chakra in his life. His current chakra amount was not comparable to the Nine-Tails, but it was comparable to the Eight-Tails.

Even so, his chakra was almost not enough, which could show how terrible the consumption of Flying Thunder God was this time.

But because of this, Xia Li was also a little excited, nervous, and excited.

The next moment, Xia Li's figure disappeared in this special space.
