The next day, the desert of the Kingdom of Wind.

After the group of people left the ancient country of Loulan after a night's rest, the sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun ended for four full days.

Before everyone could be happy, Kabuto Yakushi squatted down, cleaned a stone slab with a snake-shaped mark, blew away the sand on it, and said in surprise:

"Lord Orochimaru, the stronghold of the Kingdom of Wind has arrived!"

How can it be!

Senju Naoki and Orochimaru looked at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes, especially Orochimaru. He very clearly remembered the specific location of the stronghold of the Kingdom of Wind. There would be no ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom nearby, otherwise He had already taken it for himself.

And that slate should be buried a few meters under the sand layer. It would be too much of a coincidence if a sandstorm blew the slate out...

Orochimaru's golden snake eyes narrowed slightly. He never believed in coincidences. All coincidences were deliberate actions by others. So, who has the ability to do all this?

Orochimaru suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but asked in a low voice:

"Naoki-kun, do you think dragon vein energy has self-awareness?"

Senju Naoki retorted without hesitation:

"Impossible. If Dragon Vein really has self-awareness and can destroy Loulan's terrifying power, how could it be sealed?"

"indeed……"

Orochimaru raised his right hand and gently rubbed his chin, agreeing with Senju Naoki that this conjecture was indeed impossible.

After deceiving Orochimaru, Naoki Senju couldn't help but think carefully about the possibilities. The sandstorm that lasted for four days but suddenly ended, and the stronghold of the Kingdom of Wind so close at hand, all of this seemed too abnormal.

"Perhaps, we should verify it." Senju Naoki thought to himself, closing his eyes at the same time and concentrating on sensing the Wood Release Chakra specially left in the dragon's veins.

After a while, Senju Naoki frowned and opened his eyes.

"Sure enough, I can't sense it... The power of dragon vein is indeed beyond imagination, and it has a certain degree of self-awareness, but what is its purpose?"

Until he entered the stronghold, Senju Naoki did not expect the purpose of the dragon veins. Perhaps it was due to different ways of thinking and different life forms. Senju Naoki could not figure out the purpose of the dragon veins anyway.

Tsunade walked around from the side and behind Naoki Senju, suddenly patted Naoki's shoulder, put her hand on Naoki's shoulder and said:

"What are you thinking about, little pervert? Why don't you tell me, and maybe I can help you solve it when you feel better."

Senju Naoki looked up and down at this woman who was "good for nothing" except for the European style. He wanted to skip this topic, but suddenly thought of it and hugged Tsunade excitedly.

"Sister Tsunade, you are right, I have thought of a way!"

Tsunade was a little at a loss. Although Shizune, Orochimaru and others had already looked over, they pushed Naoki away, but it seemed abnormal, so she had to ask with red cheeks:

"any solution?"

"I want to see the Slug Immortal."

"Slug Immortal..."

Tsunade was not surprised when she heard Senju Naoki mention Slug Sage. Instead, she thought about it seriously. When Naoki practiced Wood Release for the first time, Slug mentioned Slug Sage and wanted to meet Naoki. Later, she asked Naoki When introducing necromancy and the three holy places, I also mentioned the Slug Immortal.

However, Tsunade thought that there was no need to rush, so she postponed it temporarily. Now it was Senju Naoki who took the initiative to meet Slug Sage. After Tsunade thought about it seriously, she said with a smile:

"Okay, I agree. Before, I was worried that you would be attracted by Shigulin and ignore your own strength improvement. But now that your strength is enough, I am not worried anymore."

"Miss Tsunade!"

Senju Naoki's arms hugged Tsunade's plump and soft waist, and his chin rested on Tsunade's plump shoulders, sniffing the faint fragrance. Although Tsunade's body was plump and soft, her collarbone was still clearly visible. She was the best. The slightly chubby type makes people fall in love with her.

The hot breath sprayed on the white neck, making Tsunade feel itchy and strange. In order to prevent Shizune from seeing anything, Tsunade patted Naoki's back and said in a charming voice:

"Okay, why are you still acting like a child? Let go quickly."

Although it was a reprimand, the tone was so soft that it almost turned into a soft tone, which made Guren and Shizune envious. They were both victims of the war and had almost never experienced the taste of family affection.

Senju Naoki reluctantly let go of Tsunade. The dragon veins were too troublesome. How could the fragrant and soft Tsunade be interesting?If Longmai hadn't delivered it to his door, Zhi Shu wouldn't want to care.

Orochimaru watched the interaction between the siblings. It was extremely rare that he didn't show any impatience, and he looked at it quite satisfied.

This made Yakushi Kabuto even more afraid of Senju Naoki. He lacked everything in terms of talent, IQ, hard work, and resources. It seemed to be only a matter of time before he would grow into a strong man at the level of a Sannin. Moreover, his background was scary. Two of them have a very good relationship with him, and the remaining mad ghost, Jiraiya, shouldn't be a problem either.

"It seems that maintaining a good relationship with Senju Naoki is a good choice. Regarding the research on immortal cells, it is time to speed up the results and show our own value." Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and made a decision very seriously. .

After a brief interlude, everyone continued to move forward in the dark underground stronghold.

Orochimaru's Kingdom of Wind strongholds are all located underground. Although the space is not small, the lighting conditions are really not very good. Orochimaru also thought about occupying an oasis to establish a stronghold, but the Kingdom of Wind is too poor. Even if there is an oasis, It would have been occupied long before Orochimaru's turn, unless Orochimaru secretly controlled an oasis town.

But doing so will undoubtedly invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and will also run the risk of being exposed, leading to the enemy of Shayin Village, which is not worth the loss.

Fortunately, ninjutsu is convenient enough. Only one earth-bending ninja and one water-bending ninja are needed to maintain the basic consumption of an underground stronghold, without causing various problems due to insufficient resources.

Orochimaru was obviously more energetic when he returned to such an underground environment than in the desert, but Tsunade didn't like such an environment very much. To be precise, almost no one except Orochimaru liked such a dark and humid environment.

And Orochimaru also saw Tsunade's dissatisfaction, and skillfully calmed Tsunade's emotions:

"In the town thirty miles east of the stronghold, there are markets and gambling houses from the Kingdom of Wind."

"Gambling house! Orochimaru, are you sure?"

Tsunade's spirit was instantly ignited. For Tsunade, the environment can be bad, the food can be bad, but the gambling house cannot be without it. Orochimaru accurately grasped Tsunade's weakness and struck a fatal blow.

"Of course, that is also where the base is replenished with supplies, but Tsunade, if you want to go to gambling houses and taverns, you must ask Naoki-kun to accompany you."

"It's so long-winded. You don't need to tell me that I will take Naoki with me."

Tsunade waved her hands in disgust, how could she not take Naoki with her to the gambling house? Who would pay if she lost?

After receiving a positive reply from Tsunade, Orochimaru felt relieved. What if Tsunade was alone, drank two drinks after getting high on gambling, talked nonsense, said whatever came to her mind, and happened to be overheard by the ANBU of Hidden Sand Village? Does he still need his stronghold?Building a stronghold is very expensive.
