Konoha: Be cautious from Hinata

As the phantom of the dragon vein entered Hinata Zang's body.

Queen Loulan's weak connection with the dragon veins completely disappeared, and the dragon veins that had accompanied Loulan for thousands of years were lost to her generation.

From then on, her descendants could no longer bear the glory of the king.

Like the Loulan ruins, it is submerged in the yellow sand.

However, according to the two mysterious ninjas in front of them, the black liquid flowing in the area where the Loulan survivors currently live has considerable economic value and may be able to improve the current situation of her people.

It only takes ten years for Loulan's next generation to adapt to a life without dragon veins as energy.

After replenishing chakra for Uchibo, the place where the dragon's veins were sealed began to collapse, and huge boulders fell from high altitudes into the bottomless abyss.

Pulling up Queen Loulan, who was still dazed, the three of them quickly left the hall.

On a hill a few kilometers away, witness the collapse of the once tallest tower in Loulan with its sealed dragon veins.

This once glorious kingdom city will be completely reduced to ruins and eventually covered by yellow sand.

Perhaps the sand ninja who came later could still find the remaining dragon veins and seals under the ruins.

Queen Loulan, who was brought here, showed nostalgia for her former homeland, perhaps recalling its past glory.

Looking at the queen who was deep in thought, Hinata took a step forward and said with a smile:

"Queen, with our cooperation, you can rebuild a Loulan of your own. Maybe your ancestors thought so too."

After listening to Hinata Zang's words, Queen Loulan's eyes lit up, and she had to admit that it made some sense.

The ancestors back then built a country from scratch in the desert. Although she didn't have dragon veins, she still had some hope.

More importantly, they who said these words should not kill themselves.

No matter what determination you have in your heart, you are always full of fear when facing death.

On the other side, Yu Zhibo, who was watching the collapse of Loulan, looked at it all indifferently. She did not know the glory of Loulan in the past, and she could only talk about it with sadness.

But from Queen Sarah's memory, she did feel the sadness.

If his clan was destroyed and he was abandoned, I'm afraid he would also have such emotions in his heart.

It's just that unlike Queen Sarah, she has power. The power of Mangekyo cannot be called weak even within the scope of the ninja world.

After appeasing Queen Loulan, the group returned to the oasis.

Hinata Zang does not intend to kill Queen Loulan. Loulan has declined, but it is a recognized country after all, and this title can still play a certain role.

In the future, if we explore oil in this desert and expand our power to the Kingdom of Wind, we will inevitably have to deal with Sarah.

On the way back, Hyugazo still did not forget to communicate with the dragon vein consciousness in his body.

This consciousness born from ignorance abandoned the body and came into his own body, silently absorbing the natural chakra in his body.

The dragon vein that was supposed to be the source of chakra was actually absorbing his own chakra.

Just thinking about it is incredible.

But he didn't stop him. He could feel the weakness of the dragon's veins and wanted to figure out the other party's purpose.

Even if the dragon veins that have existed for thousands of years are ignorant, they will still follow their own instincts.

At the same time, greater doubts lingered in Hinata Zang's mind. What was so special about his body that he attracted the attention of one ancient existence after another.

Could it be that he is also the reincarnation of a ninja sage?

Not long after the Hinata and the others left, a reconnaissance force arrived at the Loulan ruins.

After careful inspection, this elite team composed of jounin found that the dragon vein was not lost, and the seal left by the Fourth Hokage was also intact.

So what happened here?

The elite Sunagakure team had no choice but to return to the village and report this information to the senior management of Sunagakure.

………

Inside Sunagakure's office.

The faces of Luo Sha, the fourth generation Kazekage, and the elders were as gloomy as water.

They are extremely sensitive to chakra and can naturally feel the breath coming from the dragon's veins.

They knew very well that the Loulan Dragon Vein was a precious treasure, but they suffered from the shortcomings of the sealing technique. Even their own tailed beast Shukaku could not manage it well, and they were powerless to deal with the Dragon Vein.

But it doesn't mean that they ignore the treasure of dragon vein.

It was just the intelligence collected by the elite team that caused them to fall into silence again.

"Is it because the thief who stole the dragon's veins couldn't break the seal left by the yellow flash?"

Young Luo Sha expressed such doubts, but this Feng Ying, who was in his early thirties, had extremely conspicuous dark circles around his eyes.

He used magnetic escape to collect gold sand all year round, so he didn't get enough sleep.

Faced with Rasa's doubts, Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo didn't give any suggestions. The Kazekage was still in charge of Sunagakure's affairs, and they, the old men, could just watch silently.

Luo Sha rubbed the acupuncture points with the intention of relieving the pain on his forehead. Luo Sha did not intend to waste energy by paying too much attention to the dragon veins.

Even though the war was over, the events of the past year always left him reeling.

First, there was a scandal in the team sent to support the Demon Country, and then an extremely important news came from Konoha, an ally.

The Third Kazekage was most likely killed by the Red Sand Scorpion and made into a human puppet.

For Sunagakure, this news was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

But Luo Sha did not pursue too much. Firstly, it was because the Red Sand Scorpion was the grandson of Elder Qiandai, and secondly, because of the Red Sand Scorpion's own strength, which could kill three generations of scorpions, Sunagakure was unable to effectively hunt him down.

.

Those Anbu who are regarded as elites will not be much better than ordinary ninjas in front of the Red Sand Scorpion.

There were so many troubles that Luo Sha was unable to clean up his political opponents and let go of the Burning Escaper Ye Cang who once competed for the position of Kazekage.

After pondering for a while, Rasa looked at Chiyo and Ebizo again and said, "Do the two advisory elders have any opinions on Konoha's invitation to participate in the Chunin Exam?"

"Should we send people casually to deal with it as usual, or should we send outstanding young people?"

"The Kazekage can decide for himself."

Chiyo and Ebizo looked at each other and gave the same response.

After losing their son and daughter-in-law and their grandson's defection, they had lost all interest in Sunagakure's affairs.

"Then let's do it as usual." Luo Sha didn't take it too seriously about the Chunin Exam.

Although the Chunin Examination is an arms race that showcases the younger generation, right now Sunagakure can't produce many young geniuses at all, and going to Konoha is just to serve as a foil for others.

………

Myoki Mountain.

Jiraiya fell to the ground, looking at this otherworldly toad sanctuary with doubt.

He was collecting materials just now and looking for the whereabouts of Tsunade and Orochimaru, but he was suddenly brought here.

The only two immortals who can do this are Fukasaku and Shima.

At this moment, the two immortals were watching him quietly on the toad statue.

"Little Jiraiya, come with me. The elder has something to ask you." With that said, Fukasaku Sennin jumped off the stone statue and jumped towards the main hall in the mountain.

"The Great Toad Immortal is looking for me?" Jiraiya was confused, but he also knew what the Great Toad Immortal meant.

The great immortal who has been traveling in his sleep all year round will make new prophecies once he wakes up. Although each prophecy only contains a few sentences, they are all fulfilled one by one.

Soon, one person and two people arrived at the main hall and saw the sleepy-eyed Great Toad Immortal.

Even in a state of awakening, the Great Toad Sage still looked extremely healthy. After seeing Jiraiya, he slowly spoke.

"The second time, someone touched the dragon vein again. Little Jiraiya went to investigate the situation..."

"Investigating the dragon vein?" Jiraiya was confused. He had heard of the dragon vein, but why did the Great Toad Sage ask him to investigate? Wasn't that thing sealed by Minato?

"Yes... Dragon Vein is related to the Son of Prophecy... very important."

Before he finished speaking, the Great Toad Immortal fell into a deep sleep again.

"..."

Jiraiya pondered for a while, and finally turned his attention to Fukasaku Sage standing aside, and asked tentatively: "Fukasaku Sage, what did the big toad sage say before?"

Fukasaku Sennin looked at Jiraiya and said in deep thought: "The dragon veins that the elder mentioned...may be related to the planet's terrestrial veins."

"Leiline?" Jiraiya was still very confused about the new term.

But Fukasaku Sennin had no intention of solving his doubts. He looked back and jumped out of the hall, leaving Jiraiya alone in deep thought.

As Fukasaku Sage, whose status in Mt. Myoboku is second only to that of the Great Toad Sage, he knows many secrets of the ninja world.

We also know that there are earth veins or dragon veins deep in the earth.

Miaomu Mountain is a different space attached to the earth's veins. Relying on the natural energy of the earth's veins, immortals like them can survive in the world for a long time.

For them, natural energy is a more important ability than chakra.

The great master may have awakened from his slumber because the earth's veins were touched. Isn't it only possible for immortals to touch the earth's veins? Are there other immortals in the ninja world?

Fukasaku Sennin doesn't understand this, and there is no need to understand it. It is just a toad that manages Mt. Myoki on behalf of the great master.

As for these in-depth things, let's leave them to the great master and the other two great immortals.

Although the three holy places were at odds, in his memory, there had been some cooperation in history.

Inside the main hall.

Jiraiya looked at the giant toad sage in front of him, and then at the blue sky in the distance.

Full of doubts in his heart, he did not stay where he was for long. He could sense that Fukasaku Sennin was hiding something from him, but he must have some reasons.

After a complicated walk from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, Jiraiya used psychic skills to return to the ninja world.

After returning to the ninja world, he didn't care about collecting any materials and rushed straight towards the village. He was going to follow the instructions of the Great Toad Sage to investigate the dragon veins.

At the same time, he also took a good look at his two disciples.

………

In Yuyin Village, the heavy rain seems to never stop.

Xiaonan, wearing a black-and-red cloud uniform, walked on the street, stepping through water that was thick enough to cover her feet.

Wearing a bamboo hat, she ignored the majestic heavy rain and stared at the people of the Kingdom of Rain passing by, with a faint smile on their scarred faces.

This is a smile that is absolutely impossible to appear under Hanzo's high-pressure rule.

Lord Hanzo once brought peace to the Land of Rain, but over the years he became a tyrant who harmed his compatriots and satisfied his selfish desires.

So, will I, who is now managing Yuyin Village, be like that in the future?

Xiaonan asked herself, but couldn't get the answer. She could only rely on empathy to still have her former ideals, and try her best to build the terrible hometown of Yuyin Village.

"Lord Angel, Lord Angel!" People passing by noticed Xiaonan and greeted her warmly.

They didn't know much about Hanzo's death. Both the former Hanzo and the current god Pain were reclusive and did not reveal their true colors easily.

The only one they can see is Konan, the angel who rules on behalf of the gods.

Bang!

Xiao Nan lowered his head and saw a little girl with orange hair running into her arms, holding a small flower that was missing.

"This child seems to be called Hydrangea."

Seemingly seeing his own shadow in Hydrangea, Xiaonan used Zhiyun to send Hydrangea to a street pavilion to take shelter from the rain.

I used my money to buy some food and placed the hydrangeas here.

Konan quietly disappeared at the end of the street. She sensed something unusual in the rain and understood that it was Nagato who was notifying her to meet.

Few Amegakure ninjas know that the endless ninja of Amegakure Village contains the ninjutsu of God Pain.

The face of Xiaonan who just disappeared was full of solemnity.
