From the night of genocide to the strongest

Ghost World Island, inside the base hall.

"Kawa no Kuni?"

After Oyajo En gave the information to Sasuke, he resigned very simply.

Through the intelligence of Oya Castle Flame, Sasuke knew that after the destruction of Loulan, the survivors of Loulan turned into a huge business group incognito.

The business tour group returned to several countries such as the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Sichuan, and the Kingdom of Fire, and started doing business.

Although their lives are not rich, and can even be said to be relatively difficult, the Loulan survivors still have enough to eat and drink and are able to survive.

This group of Loulan survivors are extremely united and extremely cautious, never revealing their origins as Loulan survivors to anyone.

The reason why Oya Chengyan was able to target them was because he heard that the owner of this business group was a red-haired woman.

Through photos and portraits, Oya Chengyan was able to see some traces of the silhouette of Queen Sara of Loulan many years ago.

In addition, Oya Chengyan specifically checked and found out that the time and trajectory of this business group's appearance happened to be shortly after Loulan's destruction of the country.

Therefore, he confirmed that this business group was the former Loulan survivors.

However, according to information from Oya Chengyan, the current Queen of Loulan, Sarah, seems to be in very poor health and rarely appears in public view.

Most of the affairs of the business travel group are handled by Bella, the daughter of Queen Sara of Loulan.

Sasuke was not too surprised by this. After Naruto traveled through time and space, he met Sara's daughter, Bella, when he came back.

According to Bella's account, Sarah had already died of illness at that time, and she inherited the throne of Queen Loulan. It must have happened in the past two years.

"Loulan...Dragon Vein..."

Sasuke sat on the chair, tapping the head of the chair with his fingers, closing his eyes silently, and the memory of Dragon Vein and Orochimaru's memory in his previous life flashed through his mind.

In the 47th year of Konoha, the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sent the foursome Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shiwei, Akimichi Choza, and Hatake Kakashi to the ancient country of Loulan.

The task process is unknown, and the task result is unknown.

All we know is that after the four of them returned from the ancient Loulan Kingdom, the Loulan Ancient Kingdom completely disappeared from the sight of the world.

This is the memory from Orochimaru.

In the 47th year of Konoha, the Third Ninja War has come to an end? Although there are still small-scale wars in some places, the overall situation has become calm and peaceful.

And at that time? Namikaze Minato had not yet taken office as the Fourth Hokage? Orochimaru had not yet defected. He was considered one of the top leaders of Konoha Village? A strong competitor of the Fourth Hokage.

Orochimaru naturally knows some things about the village, such as the mysterious trip to Loulan by the quartet of Minato Namikaze and Aura Shimi.

I heard that when the Third Hokage questioned the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage shied away on the grounds that it was important and had already sealed his own memory.

The Third Hokage was also extremely reassured and believed in Namikaze Minato's character. After all, he had already selected Namikaze Minato as his heir.

Seeing this, I stopped asking about their trip to Loulan.

Is that it? The mysterious disappearance of the ancient Loulan country has become confusing.

And Sasuke, who has read the original work, naturally knows? During that mission, the Fourth Hokage and the others should have met Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato from Konoha 65.

In the original time and space, the Fourth Hokage said that their time and space were 20 years different from the time and space of Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato who had traveled through time.

But Sasuke, who has Orochimaru's memory, knows that it is not twenty years, but eighteen years!

The Fourth Hokage's trip to Loulan took place in Konoha 47? And Uzumaki Naruto should have come from Konoha 65, that is, the middle period of Shippuden.

After the Kakuzu Hidan incident? Before Six Paths Pain attacked Konoha.

The time difference between the two time and space is eighteen years!

"So is it traveling through time and space? Or is it a parallel world?"

Sasuke frowned lightly? He thought to himself.

If it was traveling through time and space, Sasuke felt a little unexplainable.

After all, this world has an extraneous soul like him? And the butterfly effect will become bigger and bigger.

The current time is early February of Konoha 62? And Naruto Uzumaki, who traveled through time and space, came from the middle of Konoha 65.

There is a difference of three and a half years.

And more than two years later, Sasuke planned to completely overturn the table. The trajectory of history has changed so drastically. How could Uzumaki Naruto travel back to eighteen years ago as before?

And based on the strength shown by Baizu, three years later, when Sakura and Naruto, who have greatly improved their strength, join forces, there may be Yakumo among them. With such a lineup, they may be able to defeat him in an instant.

Already.

How is it possible for Baizu to delay time and activate the dragon vein to travel through time and space?

Sasuke also knew through Orochimaru's memory that there was no rebellious ninja named Baizu in Sunagakure Village. Instead, the ancient Loulan Kingdom had a chief minister and prime minister named An Lushan fifteen years ago.

'In other words, it is not traveling through time and space, but traveling through parallel worlds?'

Sasuke looked solemn, his eyes flickered, he breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself.

Although Sasuke at this time couldn't figure out why the dragon veins were formed by gathering the energy of the earth, but they did not show much of the characteristics of earth escape. Instead, they exploded with spatial effects, becoming a parallel bridge to build two worlds, so that

It is an incredible thing for people to travel through parallel worlds.

But Sasuke knew that no matter how unbelievable it was, fifteen years ago, the ancient country of Loulan did welcome several uninvited guests from the parallel world!

Moreover, the time and space of the world that Sasuke is in now is very likely the time and space that Konoha traveled through in 65 years.

In other words, Sasuke's world is in the past, and Uzumaki Naruto's world is in the future.

The future of the original time and space eighteen years later without Sasuke, the unexpected butterfly fluttering its wings!

'Is there a time difference of eighteen years? I hope my guess is right. If the bridge built by the dragon vein really leads to the parallel world eighteen years later, then...'

Thinking of this, Sasuke's eyes flashed with passion.

Once Sasuke can really travel through the dragon vein to the parallel time and space eighteen years later, then many of the problems and bottlenecks that trouble him now will be solved.

Sasuke took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

Traveling through parallel worlds is an elusive thing. Whether it is true or not can only be known by going to the scene and testing it yourself.

Compared with traveling through parallel worlds, the Lost Tower, which can condense the energy of earth escape, is the visible, tangible and real benefit!

Once he understands the mystery of the Lost Tower, he can solve the problem of his earth escape attribute.

The five flowers of the Samsara Eye: Thunder, Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water. The five can solve the third problem!

"Without further delay, let's set off now!"

After making up his mind, Sasuke didn't waste any time. After giving a few explanations to the sound ninjas, he left the hall.

As soon as he arrived outside the island, Sasuke entered the "Satoru" form with black wings on his back and flew towards the direction of Kawa no Kuni.

According to the previous intelligence from Oya Castle Yan, the caravan of Loulan survivors has now stopped in the Kingdom of Sichuan. According to convention, they should stay for two to three days.

And with Sasuke's current speed, even if he just flew from the overseas Sea Country to the Kawa Country, it would only take half a day.

.............

Kawa no Kuni

Sandwiched between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind, it is a small country located in the south of the Kingdom of Rain.

The Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Sichuan, and the Kingdom of Rain are all neighboring countries.

The irony is that there is no rain all year round in the Kingdom of Wind. The land as far as the eye can see is thousands of miles of barren desert. There is very little land that can be planted. Whenever there is a natural disaster, there is not even water to drink.

In the Kingdom of Rain, it rains all year round. Not to mention the blazing sun like in the Kingdom of Wind, you can even see sunshine.

As for the country of Sichuan, it is also full of large and small rivers and streams, and it is also harmed by flooding every rainy season.

After starting in the early morning and traveling for nearly three hours, Sasuke finally entered this flooded country.

After arriving at Kawa no Kuni, Sasuke, who was in the sky, paused for a moment, silently closed his eyes and carefully recalled the map of Shimo Kawa no Kuni.

He drew a circle around the location of the caravan of Loulan survivors, then opened his eyes, found a direction and continued to fly forward rapidly.

A few more hours later, the sunset had begun to set slowly and the moon was slowly rising.

In a flat mountain range in the west of Kawa Country, a caravan consisting of nearly a thousand people was lighting a fire and preparing for the day's dinner.

Behind the caravan, there was another tent that looked much larger than the others, and there were several armed guards guarding the tent in front of it.

From time to time, there were slight coughs, and the guards outside the door could be heard tightening their bodies unconsciously.

"Cough cough cough...."

In the tent, Loulan Queen Sara coughed a few times. At this time, her face was as pale as a disease, without any trace of ruddy color, and her bright red hair became a little red and withered.

I don’t know what Sarah has experienced in the fifteen years since the destruction of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, which has caused her, who is only in her early thirties, to look like she is about to run out of energy.

So quiet!

Suddenly, Queen Loulan frowned and was shocked. She quickly supported herself with her hands and stood up, then stared at the entrance of the tent with bright eyes.

It seemed that she was certain that someone would walk in from there later.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, there was a "big man" with pale skin, bulging muscles all over his body, a handsome appearance, and a muscular back?

In other words, the young man stepped into the tent.

"Huh?" After Sasuke stepped into the tent, he saw Queen Loulan staring at him with a vigilant face, as if she had expected it.

Sasuke let out a sigh, a little surprised that Queen Loulan sensed his arrival in advance.

"I apologize for disturbing you so much, Her Majesty the Queen."

Sasuke glanced at Queen Sara in front of him. In Sasuke's perception, Queen Sara gave him a very similar feeling to the miko of the Demon Country that he had met before.

He looks weak, but he seems to have some mysterious power within his body.

"Who are you?"

Queen Sarah took a few steps back slightly, looking at the handsome young man in front of her with a wary face, and shouted: "Where are my people? What did you do to them?"

The current Sasuke is naturally disguised, or has returned to his ancestral form.

"Your Majesty, don't be too nervous. I don't mean much harm. Your people's lives are not in danger. I just let them sleep for a while."

Sasuke smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth and what he thought was an extremely friendly and kind smile.

Unexpectedly, in Queen Sara's eyes, Sasuke's smile seemed a bit eerie.

"I am here just to ask for something from Your Majesty. Of course, after the matter is accomplished, there will be..."

"You bastard, what do you want to do to my mother!?"

Before Sasuke could finish his words, he was interrupted by a shout. A red-haired girl who looked very similar to Queen Sara and was one or two years younger than Sasuke rushed in from outside the tent and protected Queen Sara.

In front of him, Sasuke looked at him with a fierce look on his face.

"Huh? You actually lifted my illusion?"

Looking at the vicious girl in front of him, Sasuke's eyes moved slightly.

Now he possesses the power of three eternal-level Sharingan eyes. Although he is far inferior to Sasuke of the Six Paths who can instantly hypnotize and seal the nine tailed beasts, he can still easily make hundreds of ordinary people fall into coma with one glance.

arrive.

The red-haired girl in front of her was naturally within the range of Sasuke's illusion just now, but she unexpectedly lifted his illusion so quickly and woke up from it.

Although Sasuke didn't put much effort into it, it can be seen from this that the girl is extraordinary.

"Bella, step back..."

After seeing her daughter appear, Queen Sarah's heart tightened and she quickly spoke.

"No!"

Bella's face was stubborn, Queen Sarah's face darkened, and she shouted: "Back off."

"...."

Bella bit her lip, and finally retreated behind her mother obediently, but still stared at Sasuke fiercely like a vicious cat.

"As a late-night guest, what can I do for you?"

After seeing her daughter retreat, Queen Sarah said with a serious face: "If you want money, I can give it all to you, as long as you don't harm my people."

"What I want is not money."

Sasuke shook his head and said calmly: "And I know that His Majesty's caravan has been living a very simple life in recent years, so I won't add insult to injury. What I want is other things."

Hearing this, Queen Sara's face did not look relaxed at all, but became more serious, and said in a deep voice: "You want dragon veins!?"

"good!"

Sasuke nodded and admitted directly.

"Besides dragon veins, I also want to know what is the secret of the Lost Tower built by the ancient Loulan Kingdom?"

"Mom, don't promise him!"

Bella hurriedly said that although she didn't know what Dragon Vein and the Lost Tower were, she just didn't want her mother to agree to this evil man's conditions.

"Bella, shut up, it's not your turn to speak now!"

Queen Sarah's expression turned sharp and she scolded her daughter.

Then he looked deeply at the guy in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I promise you!"

"Your Majesty actually agreed so readily? This is a bit beyond my expectation."

Sasuke smiled slightly, feeling a little surprised by Queen Sarah's happiness.

"I am a slave to others and I am a fish to flesh. In the current situation, do I have a choice?"

Queen Sarah responded with a cold expression.

She can sense the power of the person in front of her, even the Fourth Hokage from more than ten years ago was no more than that.

It's not something she can resist.

For her who is now almost exhausted, she naturally does not care about her own life and death.

But she is the backbone of these Loulan survivors, the queen, and Bella's mother.

In this situation, for the safety of her people and her daughter, she could only choose to compromise.

I'm afraid that if I refuse, the people in front of me will become angry and kill them all!

'It seems that he has become a big villain for once...'

Sasuke couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't make any excuses and said, "In that case, Your Majesty, let's set off now."

"Don't even think about it!"

Bella couldn't bear it anymore and said anxiously: "Mom, this bad guy has bad intentions. If you follow him, he will definitely kill you after he completes his purpose."

"Okay, stop talking, Bella!"

Queen Sarah looked calm, looked at her daughter and whispered softly: "Bella, from now on, you are the queen of Loulan!"

'After he and I leave, take the people and leave here immediately!'

Queen Sarah signaled her daughter with her eyes. Although she didn't speak, Bella understood instantly.

Bella opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but under her mother's firm gaze, she finally nodded and said, "I understand, Mom..."

Queen Sarah breathed a sigh of relief. With a look of death on her face, she stepped forward and said calmly: "Let the guests wait for a long time. Let's set off."
