Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming

False lies: showing off one's ability, strength or achievements through words to arouse the envy and admiration of others, commonly known as hard bragging, and easy to be exposed.

True lies: making some insignificant processing in the past resume, through half-true and half-false processing techniques, arousing the envy and admiration of others, commonly known as soft bragging, and not easy to be exposed.

Thinking of the upcoming mission, Kushina clenched her hands into fists, looked at the sun in the distance, and her eyes seemed to be burning with flames, "Small S-level mission, easy to get!"

Hearing this guy's honey-juiced confident speech, the man and cat behind her couldn't help but look at each other, and both fell into silence.

"Hey!"

Kushina put her hands on her waist and looked behind her, urging, "At your current speed, how long will it take to reach Loulan? The interests of the village will not be protected until the seal is reinforced."

"Yes! Yes!"

Asuka responded absent-mindedly twice, then put her hands behind her back and increased her speed.

"What are you thinking about?"

Fei Fei noticed that Asuka beside him seemed to be distracted, and he swept the leaves that fell on his body with his tail and asked, "Since this morning, I have seen that you seem to be worried."

"I haven't figured it out yet. I'll tell you when I figure it out."

After saying that, Asuka frowned and thought again.

After he saw the information about "Dragon Vein" and "Loulan", a long-lost memory emerged from his mind. It was a memory from before the time travel. Because the time was too long, many places in the memory became blurred.

But if Asuka remembered correctly, there should be a rebel ninja from the Sand Village who broke the seal left by the fourth generation, and then absorbed the power of the dragon vein and traveled to the past with Naruto.

And at the time point in the past, he met Minato Namikaze and others.

The two sides joined forces to thwart someone's conspiracy.

This is also in line with the mission report he saw before leaving.

The mission report recorded everything that happened in Loulan in detail. Although some key information was hidden in some places, it focused on the "mysterious person".

"The Namikaze Minato team joined forces with a mysterious person to defeat the ambitious An Lushan."

Thinking of the mysterious person mentioned in the report, Asuka naturally knew that it should be Uzumaki Naruto. The Fourth Hokage was afraid of chaos in the future and did not mention him too much.

But.

"Shouldn't the seal have problems in more than ten years? Why is it a problem now?"

Asuka rubbed his chin with one hand and muttered to himself, "Is the Fourth Hokage's sealing technique really not working? It shouldn't be, I see that he summons the god of death very quickly.

Or is it that the power of the dragon vein is too strong, and Konoha needs to send an excellent ninja every few years to stabilize the seal?"

"What are you mumbling about behind you?"

At this time, Kushina suddenly stopped, stood firmly on the tree branch with both feet, then turned around and looked behind him, frowning and asked.

"Nothing!"

He shook his head and walked a few steps quickly. When he passed by Kushina, he suddenly asked, "Is the Fourth Hokage's sealing technique working?"

Hearing this, Kushina was stunned.

Then, she looked up and down at Asuka and sneered.

"What do you think of my sealing technique?"

Asuka blinked and said.

"Average!"

Kushina glared, then pointed forward and said angrily.

"You ignorant bumpkin, get out of here! Get away!"

Seeing her face flushed, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Asuka shrugged and said innocently, "It's really average, Lady Kushina, do you know the first generation?

Back then, the sealing technique performed by the first generation was so powerful.

And there is an even stronger Six Paths Sage. It is said that he clapped his hands and the moon"

"Fuck you!"

"."

The Kingdom of Wind, the East.

In this desert with scarce water resources, the preciousness of the oasis is self-evident, and the desert here is extremely empty. There is only one oasis in the center within a radius of thousands of miles.

The Loulan mentioned in the mission is on that oasis.

With its strong military capabilities, Loulan not only successfully occupied an oasis in the desert, but also, ten years ago, due to the policies implemented by the ambitious "An Lushan", Loulan's military strength has been significantly improved, gradually showing the potential to threaten the five major countries.

The last country that threatened the interests of the five major countries was called the Rain Country, which has been remnant.

In the face of the powerful Loulan, even one of the five major countries, the Sand Village, was unwilling to go alone, but chose to pull Konoha and join hands to deal with the country with growing military strength.

However, after Minato Namikaze completed the task, he did not publicize the matter for some reason, causing the Sand Village to take all the credit.

As one of the five major ninja villages, the Sand Village was naturally unwilling to admit that it needed to rely on Konoha's power to eliminate the threat in order to maintain its face.

However, not long after the incident, the third generation wind shadow who took the credit died.

One day later.

The oasis where Loulan is located is already in sight.

Asuka stood on the sand dunes and could even clearly see the towering buildings on the oasis. They were unique buildings in Loulan, which was a major feature of this country.

"Is that Loulan?"

Kushina came over at this time. She looked at the tower-like buildings in the distance and exclaimed, "There turns out to be such a prosperous city in the desert.

This is no worse than the Kingdom of Wind seen in the photos. It’s really hard to imagine how they did it. "

After staring at the oasis in the distance for a while, Asuka frowned and poured cold water on her on the spot.

"Maybe this city used to be prosperous, but not now."

Hearing this, Kushina was stunned for a moment.

She followed Asuka's gaze and looked at the city carefully, then her expression changed, "Is the oasis disappearing? I seem to have seen wind and sand invade the city."

Um!

Looking at the sand that invaded the street, Asuka nodded slightly.

Although oases located in deserts often have sand blowing over them, it’s telling that such a large amount of sand appears on the streets without being cleaned up.

As the group of people entered the city, Kushina suddenly became quiet, as quiet as Loulan now.

It was mid-morning.

The sun has not yet reached its hottest level, and it is supposed to be the time for desert residents to be active, but there are only a few pedestrians walking sparsely on the wide streets.

In Kushina's vision, the streets here should not be so deserted, even if they are not crowded with people.

The feeling given to her here was exactly the same as that of the Whirlpool Kingdom back then, with so few people.

But the problem is that the Country of Whirlpools is a country composed of whirlpools, and the main residents are the whirlpool clan. But where they are now is a real country.

"Have you ever been to Loulan?"

She grabbed Feiniao's sleeve and lowered her voice and asked, "The geography book I studied says that Loulan is a country with a population of nearly 70,000, but looking at the population size, it would be good to have 40,000."

"Never came!"

Asuka shook his head, then raised his head and looked around.

Konoha's geography books are all from many years ago and are mainly used as a reference for the children of Ninja School to improve their knowledge.

As far as he knew, five years ago, Loulan was called a medium-sized country.

What does it mean to be a middle country?

It has a certain military strength, a certain number of ninjas, or the military strength reaches the size of an average medium-sized ninja village, and a huge population to provide it with basic financial needs.

but now.

Many of the surrounding shops have been closed. Judging from the spider webs on the doors, these shops should have been closed for no less than a year. Those shops that are still open have very little traffic and are obviously not far from closure. .

Asuka carefully observed the civilians around him and found that their mental state was very depressed, as if they had lost the vitality and enthusiasm for life, and they were like walking zombies, just spending every day mechanically.

"Let's go!" After silently writing down the situation here, he took a deep breath, looked sideways, and said, "Go directly to seal... seal."

Before he could say the last word "seal", he found that the place where Kushina was standing was empty, and even the orange cat that was shaking the sand at his feet had disappeared.

Asuka:? ? ?

Then, he looked up at the blue sky and said speechlessly, "Apart from the fact that the sky is a little bluer than other places, what else is good about this desert? Are canned scorpions really delicious? ?

Desert clothes don’t look good either! !

I can’t understand those two people! ! "

With that said, Asuka disappeared into the street.

Where the three of them were standing just now, a breeze happened to blow.

The wind carried a large amount of fine sand, and as if consciously, completely buried their footprints in the sand.

The sand on the street gradually increased in the breeze, but the civilians living here seemed not to notice it, or even if they did, they chose to ignore it and allowed the sand to slowly erode the city.
