Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

Everything in Konoha is developing in a good direction. The new vitality of Konoha Village is indeed worthy of its name as the number one village in the ninja world. Even though they have experienced many setbacks and losses, their huge heritage has allowed them to recover quickly. Far more than any village.

Even Kumogakure, which did not pay huge war compensation, was actually slightly inferior to Konoha. The foundation laid by the first and second generations for Konoha was so solid that no country or ninja village would be greedy for it.

But the prerequisite for such a quick recovery is that without the hypocrisy of the third generation and the crazy internal backstabbing of Danzo, these two old things are not good things.

In the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Will of Fire was turned into a banner of justice for brainwashing; the slogan 'for the village' became a blade wielded by Danzo for his own selfish desires. The foundation of empty Konoha is more terrifying than a cruel war between He and Yunying.

The collapse of a strong organization is often not caused by external threats, but by internal decay.

After staying in the village for less than half a month, after Minato sorted out the subsequent deployment and handed it over to Shikaku to take care of, he left the Leaf Village again. Although he wanted to stay with Naruto for a while, some issues required him to do it as soon as possible. solve.

Take the question of Ku Lama, for example. Although Ku Lama turned into a mini fox, he was [-] times cuter than before, but as a tailed beast, the word cute really touched his sensitive nerves.

Especially the Kyuubi, who has always regarded himself as the absolute number one among the nine tailed beasts. Now that he has become so 'cute and cute', it is even more uncomfortable for him than a shark. He can hold his breath in Minato's belly. It was his limit not to make a fuss in Xiaoyue. Whenever Minato went to seal the space, those cute eyes that said 'I'm going to shark you' never left his body.

"Are you really sure? Pure and huge chakra condensation? This is the first time I have heard of it in my long life."

After Minato left the village, Kurama whispered to Minato quietly.

"Nine Lamas, have you ever heard of a country that has been destroyed?"

"About 20 years ago, there was a small, prosperous and developed country in the desert of the Kingdom of Sand. Its name was Loulan."

"Although we are in the depths of a desolate desert, there is a grand palace that is second to none in the entire ninja world. High-rise buildings hundreds of meters high are lined up in rows. It is like a miracle created by God. It appears very suddenly in the depths of the uninhabited desert. ."

“How could such a miraculous building be built in a place that lacked food, water, and people?”

"Even Konoha, which was the most prosperous at the time, could not afford such a huge project. Unless Master Hashirama used his Wood Release, it would be impossible to complete this miracle."

"Shukaku's idiot's territory? I don't want to go to that stinking old sand pit."

Kyuubi rolled his eyes lazily. When he mentioned the desert, he remembered that when he was bored and planned to beat up Shukaku to pass the time, but the whack-a-mole battle filled with endless bad mouth really made him think about it. It's disgusting. Although Shukaku is quite weak, it is really troublesome for Kurama to beat him when he is on an absolutely advantageous terrain.

"Just tell me. I don't want to guess what it is."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the Nine Lamas were not interested in this, Minato stopped appetizing.

"There is a huge chakra vein underground in Loulan. If I guessed correctly, it should be the chakra enrichment point bred by the planet due to the emergence of the sacred tree. Loulan named it Dragon Vein."

"The endless chakra of the dragon vein is not inferior to you at all, and this chakra even has certain attributes of time and space. I once met the future Naruto because of the influence of the dragon vein."

"It's just... that shouldn't be the Naruto in our current world. Rather than traveling backwards on the long river of time, I prefer to believe that it is an existence similar to parallel time and space. Two dragon veins belonging to different parallel worlds penetrate oneself and Two unrelated parallel time and spaces, the future I see is not what is happening in our current world."

"However, when I go over this time, I should be able to verify whether this is true or not."

"Dragon Vein, as an unconscious giant chakra aggregate, should be able to satisfy the 'food' need you told me about."

"Although you look cute now..."

"Shut up! If you say that again, I'll eat you! I'll really eat you! I'll swallow you alive without even chewing it (#`O′)!"

The Nine Lamas bared their teeth and cursed loudly in the sealed space, Minato is really bad.

"alright."

Minato stopped and ran to the sealed space and touched the fleshy body of the Nine Lamas. The Nine Lamas who madly disliked Minato touching his head and rubbing his belly helplessly stuck out his tongue and gasped for air after three seconds of fighting with Minato. Now the poor Cha The carat is simply not enough for him to spend even once. He is not a ninja and cannot learn to be prudent.

"You will be able to return to your original appearance soon, and maybe even become stronger."

"Loulan used the endless chakra of the dragon vein as a tool to build this magnificent palace standing in the desert. However, due to the prosperity of the dragon vein, Loulan also entered weakness and collapse in a very short period of time because the dragon vein was cut off and sealed. The poor population is ultimately a hurdle to overcome, and the environment deep in the desert is too harsh."

"The inspiration I asked Shikaku to establish the Konoha engineering team actually came from Loulan, but ordinary ninjas still can't compare with the dragon veins who have unlimited chakra to squander."

"Instead of letting Dragon Vein lie in the Kingdom of Sand and eat ashes, I might as well take it away and make Konoha bigger and stronger."

Minato, who didn't care whether Sunagakure Village or the Wind Country would trouble him afterwards, didn't have any unnecessary worries.

What's more, no one knows the secret of Dragon Vein except himself and Sara, the last queen of Loulan. Everyone present had some memories sealed by his sealing technique, including Kakashi, Ding Zao, and Shio who were involved at the time. people.

If this matter was brought to the Sandaime's desk, even if he could not be moved, could Danzo remain indifferent?

Minato was extremely glad that his original decision was indeed the right one.

The distance from Konoha to Loulan is quite long. It needs to cross half of the Fire Country and go deep into nearly one-third of the Sand Country. However, this journey spanning thousands of miles does not cost too much with the blessing of chakra. Much time.

It only takes three days and three nights for a large army of ninjas to depart from Konoha and reach Sunagakure Village. Elite chuunin and above can easily maintain a steady march at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, not to mention that their physical fitness exceeds that of most elites. Minato the Jonin.

In less than two days, Minato left the lush forests and mountains behind and ran towards his destination with light steps on the gravel dunes.

After approaching within two to three hundred kilometers of the Loulan Ruins, Minato stopped to take some Bingliang Pills and drink some water to regain his health. Then the Flying Thunder God activated, and the next moment, he appeared on the dragon vein seal underground at the Loulan Ruins.

Footprints have been trampled on the dusty ground. Although several years have passed, no one has been found to have set foot here. Everything is as it once was.
