Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 407 Dragon Vein Chakra Acquired, Correct Timeline
"This is not our time and space after all. Let's get everything back on track."

Qingsi said calmly.

"However, to avoid unnecessary consequences, I will erase your memories."

Kiyoshi said.

As for his own, Kiyoshi felt he could keep it.

He stood on the edge of the platform, his robes fluttering gently in the breeze.

In the distance, the purple light of the dragon vein chakra still flowed faintly, like the breath of a sleeping behemoth.

His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Sarah's face, which still retained a childlike innocence but already showed a resolute determination.

The only variable is him.

"Are you leaving?"

Sarah understood; Kiyoshi was leaving.

Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her skirt.

"Ah."

Qing Si nodded slightly and said:

"It will probably be more than ten years before we meet again."

He took out a blank scroll and quickly wrote down the method of "the art of preserving youth" on it.

"Practice this ninjutsu diligently, and we will have a chance to meet again."

After quickly finishing writing, Kiyoshi tossed the scroll to Sarah.

Sarra caught it with his hand; it was slightly cool to the touch.

"This ninjutsu is very simple after my simplification; it only requires a portion of chakra."

Kiyoshi said.

Queen Sara doesn't need to fight, and the little chakra she has is just enough to maintain her "age-preserving technique".

"Then let's get started."

Kiyoshi stretched out his hand, and the "Magnetic" Release began to absorb various metals. Then, Kiyoshi used the "Sage Art: Inorganic Rebirth Technique" to create a longsword.

He inscribed intricate sealing patterns on the longsword.

These all originate from the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

In the original work, Minato Namikaze also used this to seal Loulan.

Kiyoshi simply replaced the kunai with a longsword made of better material.

"seal up."

Kiyoshi planted the longsword on the flat platform, and the sealing magic patterns that formed spread rapidly.

The light of the purple dragon vein chakra quickly dimmed, but did not completely disappear.

This is a dragon vein that Qing Si deliberately left behind.

If it were completely sealed off like in the original story, Loulan would become a true ruin.

They are currently in the midst of the Third Shinobi World War, and Kiyoshi and Hinata from ten years in the future have both traveled to this point in the past.

"Do not allow the people of Loulan to go out at will, and do not allow outsiders to come in."

Kiyoshi's body began to become illusory.

So does everyone else.

Queen Sarah nodded seriously, raising her still somewhat immature face as if trying to carefully memorize the face beneath Kiyoshi's mask.

"Everyone is looking me in the eyes."

Qingsi said.

The crimson light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The Sharingan has the effect of erasing memories.

Kiyoshi rarely uses this ability because it is not very reliable.

Immediately afterwards, Kiyoshi formed a hand seal, further sealing away this memory.

The white light emanating from Karin and Nohara Mio grew even brighter, and the first batch of white particles that had turned into illusions disappeared.

Next up are Kakashi and Might Guy.

Itachi raised his hand, looking at it with some confusion.

He could feel his memories fading rapidly.

"Hmph, Kiyoshi, don't forget what happened between you and me."

Yecang crossed her arms.

She had absolutely no interest in the ancient Loulan Kingdom or dragon veins and chakra.

What she wants is for Rasa and the Sunagakure leadership to pay the price for betraying her!
"Kiyoshi, I'll wait for you over there."

Kurenai smiled and waved.

Soon, only Kiyoshi and Hinata remained in the arena.

"It seems we're the only ones left, Kiyoshi-sensei."

Hinata's gentle face softened into a shy smile.

She was quite poised and confident when she sparred with Kiyoshi before.

"I'll buy you some candy when I get back."

"At least give me two of my past self."

Hinata smiled and held out her hand, making a two-sign.

"no problem."

Kiyoshi nodded, and the next moment, Hinata disappeared.

"Then, Queen of Loulan, see you in the future."

"Wait a minute, how long is my future?"

Sarah shouted it out.

"When the barrier breaks and the true sky is revealed, that will be the day I return."

Kiyoshi's words echoed in the air, but his figure had completely vanished.

In the entire ruins, there was only Sarah.

She looked at the long sword stuck in the very center and sighed softly.

It's that time of year again when she's all alone.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The guard Satulu arrived late with his people to rescue the emperor.

"I am fine."

Sarah nodded.

Those citizens who had fled due to the chaos also followed.

All they remembered was a group of ninjas fighting a great battle against the traitor An Lushan, and then a flash of purple light, and large areas of buildings collapsed.

Finally, it mysteriously disappeared again, returning to silence.

"Clean up these ruins, rebuild a palace, and then forbid anyone from approaching."

Sarah said in a deep voice.

After this incident, she was deeply impressed by the dangers of dragon vein chakra.

Such power, if not handled carefully, could not only destroy the ancient kingdom of Loulan, but also the kingdom of Wind. We must be cautious.

"Is that man... an Uchiha?"

Sara thought of the flame fan pattern behind Kiyoshi. In the entire ninja world, only the Uchiha clan would use that as their family crest or emblem.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you again."

Sarah gripped the scroll tightly in her hand.

Although Kiyoshi spent very little time with her, there was no doubt that Sara had deeply remembered Kiyoshi.

As the saying goes, it's a pity we met so late; I was born before you were born.

Sarah, who had little contact with the outside world, was seeing a man as strong and outstanding as Kiyoshi for the first time.

Time passes quickly.

Skyscrapers have sprung up again from the ruins, and the puppets that once harmed the ancient Loulan Kingdom are now being used by Loulan.

An invisible barrier shrouds Loulan, preventing the changes in wars and shifts in the outside world from intersecting with this place.

One year.

Loulan returned to peace, and its people repaired the buildings.

Two years later, the wounds of the past have healed, and I've reintegrated into life.

Three years later, people erected many statues to commemorate the heroes who saved Loulan.

The tallest and most magnificent of them all is... Kiyoshi's statue.

Since then, the people of Loulan have noticed that Queen Sara would come to see the statue and gaze at it whenever she had a spare moment from handling state affairs.

Four years later, these statues began to be worshipped.

Five years, six years...

As the years passed, the ancient kingdom of Loulan, supported by the dragon vein chakra and puppetry, was able to be self-sufficient even without contact with the outside world.

Loulan's technology was advancing rapidly, and puppetry was developing to the point that they created carriages that could be driven by puppetry.

However, no matter how things changed, the people discovered that Queen Sarah one day stopped aging and remained fixed at the prime of her life.

Time flies by, everything changes, yet something seems to remain unchanged.

The world changes, and the outlines of the streets have changed many times.

Kiyoshi's statue still stands, overlooking this country.

"Father, Her Majesty the Queen has come here to look at the statues again."

Satu's son held his hand.

Although Satu Lu arrived after the event had ended, he was still the first guard to arrive and has now risen to become the first commander of the guard regiment. "That was the strongest person I've ever seen."

The Satu deer opened its mouth.

"Is he stronger than Father?"

"Of course, even the ninjas outside are probably not as powerful as that person. Alright, let's not disturb Her Majesty any longer."

The armored Satu deer quietly led his youngest son away, not wanting to disturb the queen.

A hollowed-out ancient pavilion was built at the foot of the Qing Si statue.

Sarah often sat here, gazing up at the stone statue.

Looking up from here, you can clearly see the Kiyoshi statue.

"Your Majesty, how exactly did that ninja defeat the great villain An Lushan?"

The children gathered around their revered Queen Sarah, listening as she tirelessly recounted the stories of the heroes.

"When one day, the barrier shatters, revealing the true sky."

Sarah spoke.

The children looked up at the azure sky, their eyes filled with wonder and longing.

"But how could the sky be torn apart?"

A child asked.

"This sky is not the real sky."

Sarah shook her head.

At that time, Kiyoshi used a barrier to separate Loulan from the outside world, and he used the dragon vein chakra as the driving force.

This barrier was incredibly strong, and many newcomers even thought that this sky was the real sky.

It's actually an illusion created by the barrier.

Although it looks almost the same as the real sky.

Before the words were finished, suddenly...

Click.

A crack appeared in the sky, and the blue canopy shattered like a broken mirror, with large fragments falling to reveal the starry night outside.

Purple light shimmered between the cracks, appearing incredibly dazzling.

Amidst the deafening roar of the sudden change in the world, a familiar voice clearly reached Sarah's ears.
"This is Loulan."

That was Kiyoshi's voice.

Sarah's heart skipped a beat.

……

"Why do I feel like I've forgotten something?"

Kurenai Yuhi said uncertainly.

She seemed to remember that just a second ago, there were ruins and remnants in front of her.

Later, they saw the purple light emanating from the dragon vein chakra and went somewhere.

But I have absolutely no recollection of that place.

Before he could recover from his daze, Kiyoshi reached out and, as if tearing apart some kind of barrier, a country suddenly appeared.

Besides Kurenai Yuhi, everyone else shared this idea.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Qingsi spoke.

Of all their people, he is probably the only one who has retained his memories.

"There's actually another country here."

Yekura sighed.

No wonder Kiyoshi wanted this place.

She just didn't know why the Kingdom of Wind had never discovered this before, and even she only found out today that there was more to this place than met the eye.

"so big."

As people entered from the outside world, the towering buildings of Loulan came into view.

Kurenai Yuhi looked at the amazing buildings with curiosity.

"Halt! This is the ancient kingdom of Loulan. Outsiders are prohibited from entering!"

The guards gathered together, watching Qing Si and the people behind him warily.

"Your queen here should still be Sarah, right? Call her out."

Qingsi spoke.

"How dare you address the Queen by her given name!"

The guards were furious; that was their respected and noble Queen!

"Wait a minute."

Satu deer, who had just put down his youngest son, rushed here immediately.

He looked at Kiyoshi's face, and it seemed strangely familiar.

In particular, the unique flame fan pattern on Kiyoshi's body is exactly the same as that on the statue.

Is this man... that esteemed person from more than ten years ago?

Satulu was unsure for a moment.

"Are you going to kill them?"

Ye Cang frowned slightly.

She was busy returning to Sunagakure and had no time to waste with these weak, ordinary people.

"No need."

Qingsi shook his head.

Yekura is too bloodthirsty right now; she'll probably only return to normal after she gets her revenge.

"I will go and inform Her Majesty the Queen."

Just as Satulu was about to leave, she saw Her Majesty the Queen running over, lifting the hem of her skirt.

"You're back?"

Sarah looked at Qing Si's youthful face, which was just as it had been more than ten years ago, and felt somewhat dazed.

"Yes."

Qing Si nodded slightly.

This is exactly what he said before he left.

The false daytime was torn apart, revealing the real night.

Now that the timeline has returned to the correct location, there is no longer any need to hide the existence of Loulan.

Kiyoshi wasn't worried that the Wind Kingdom would think they had misjudged the situation, suffered a loss, or wanted to take the place back.

In that case, Kiyoshi wouldn't mind launching a war now.

In terms of strength, he was stronger than the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. In terms of the strength of the ninja villages, Konoha, after so many years of peaceful recuperation, was much stronger than Sunagakure.

"It seems your ninjutsu training has gone quite well."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

If Sarah hadn't devoted herself to spiritual practice, she would probably be much older now.

"I...I don't want to see you when I'm old."

Sarah spoke.

Her appearance now looks like she has only lost a little bit of her youthful innocence; her face is wrinkle-free and still exudes a woman's beauty.

"Take me to the place where the dragon vein is sealed first."

Qingsi spoke.

He plans to collect a portion of the dragon vein chakra for research purposes, and at the same time, he wants to see if this energy can be used to develop new patterns.

For example, the "Dragon Vein Chakra Pattern"?
Alternatively, the dragon vein chakra can be used as an energy source for the "chakra armor".

Either way, there are many advantages.

"it is good."

Sarah led the way and ordered the guards to step back.

Some of the people who rushed over after hearing the commotion looked at Qing Si with curiosity.

There was surprise, fear, and also respect.

Their attitudes toward Kiyoshi, who had torn the sky apart, varied greatly.

"Father actually knows someone here?"

Itachi thought to himself.

He discovered that the more time he spent with his father, the less he understood what kind of man he really was.

His entire being seemed shrouded in a thick mystery, making him unpredictable and incomprehensible.

Upon arriving at the destination, Kiyoshi told the others to wait, then went alone, drew his longsword, and released the sealing spell he had set up.

The dormant dragon veins have become active once again.

Under Qing Si's control, they slowly surged into Qing Si's palm.

Qing Si is storing them in the "Yin Seal".

Soon, a diamond-shaped pattern appeared in Kiyoshi's palm, and in just a moment, it filled the "Yin Seal," which was enough to show the immense power of the dragon vein's chakra!

"Alright, when are we going to get down to business?"

Seeing that Kiyoshi seemed to have become stronger than before, Ye Cang couldn't wait to ask.

　I only have four thousand left. Something happened yesterday, sigh.
