"Half right."

Minato Namikaze's smile vanished. "Our mission is to bring the Two-Tails Jinchuriki back to Konoha."

"Yukito is still young..."

The fourth generation Tsuchishiro wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only come up with this rather lame excuse.

"That's none of the Fourth Raikage's concern."

Minato Namikaze showed no intention of backing down; he was simply fulfilling the terms of the peace agreement. "I think our two villages should stick to the agreement; otherwise, wouldn't this peace talk be just empty talk?"

"it is good……"

The Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, looked grim. "But before you take away the two Yugitos, I would like to ask you to spare her life because of her young age."

"That's none of the Fourth Raikage's concern; Konoha has its own plans."

Although Minato Namikaze's tone was light, the coldness in his words did not diminish at all. He felt that the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, had said too much.

As a defeated nation, Kumogakure has no right to negotiate with Konoha!

"In that case, I apologize for being nosy."

Tsuchishiro decided to swallow his anger and softened his tone before turning and walking towards a secret room.

"Wow, the Raikage Building was built really fast. I remember it was cleaved in two by Kakashi."

Akira Hatake's sudden interruption caused the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, to stumble.

The Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, turned his head and glared fiercely at Akira Hatake. He desperately wanted to explode, but all that came out of his mouth was weakness.

"Out with the old, in with the new. It was just the Raikage Building, and it was rebuilt in less than a month."

"This is the Book of Seals from our Hidden Cloud Village. Please have the Fourth Hokage review it."

Ignoring Akira Hatake, the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, took the Book of Seals of Kumogakure in his hand and then handed it to Minato Namikaze.

Wow…

Minato Namikaze didn't stand on ceremony. After accepting the Book of Seals from Kumogakure, he unfolded it and examined its contents.

The reason for checking the Book of Seals of Kumogakure is that among Kumogakure's signature ninjutsu are several that Konoha is determined to obtain.

First, it's the unique Lightning Release chakra pattern of the Hidden Cloud Village. Second, it's the "Time-Sealing Array," a large-scale sealing technique that interferes with the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique and can also disrupt the flow of time.

With a target in mind, Minato Namikaze's inspection speed naturally increased considerably. Only after confirming that Kumogakure was not trying to be clever in this regard did he put away the Scroll of Seals.

"The Book of Seals is fine."

Minato Namikaze nodded to the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, "Then, I'll leave it to you to lead us to see the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."

"plz follow me."

The Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, clenched his fist, bent over, and made a "please" gesture.

Without any formalities, Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake strode off, leaving the Raikage Building under the guidance of the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro.

After much maneuvering, the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, led the two to the headquarters of the Hidden Cloud Village's Anbu, where the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, was imprisoned.

That's right, the two Yugitos have been imprisoned by Kumogakure.

As for why the two Yugito were imprisoned, the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, naturally had his own considerations.

He wanted the Hidden Cloud Village's Anbu to brainwash Yugito Nii, so that Yugito Nii would always be loyal to the Hidden Cloud Village.

While it's uncertain whether Konoha will choose to kill the two Yugitos, it's still quite necessary to have some backup plans.

"She is Nii Yukito."

Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake looked in the direction the Fourth Raikage Tsuchishiro was pointing, and saw a young girl sitting quietly in the corner of a quiet room.

Hearing someone call their names, the two Yugito raised their little heads and looked at the three people not far from them.

"Are you here to take me away?"

With a slight parting of his thin lips, the two Yugitos stood up and walked to Minato Namikaze's side, looking up at him.

"You are Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Oh." The two Yukito lowered their heads. "I'll remember you."

"Hahaha……"

Minato Namikaze smiled, a very happy smile, but beneath that seemingly cheerful smile lay a chill.

Minato Namikaze glanced at the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, and then reached out to rub the two Yugitos' heads.

"It seems the Fourth Raikage made quite a few preparations before we arrived."

"No, we only resorted to this tactic because we were afraid that Yugito would not be able to control the tailed beasts inside her."

"Just let it be."

Minato Namikaze didn't intend to delve into it; he understood many things perfectly well.

"Now that we have received the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, we shall take our leave."

Minato Namikaze took the hands of the two Yugitos, said something, and then nodded to Akira Hatake.

The latter understood, and after completing the hand seal, he held a Flying Thunder God kunai horizontally in front of his chest, instantly opening an invisible and intangible Flying Thunder God spatial barrier.

Sa!

The three of them vanished from the sight of the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, in the next instant.

"Wait!"

"You'll have your share of hardship in the future!"

"I don't believe that Konoha will remain strong forever!"

The Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, gritted his teeth, "When you decline, I will make Konoha and the Land of Fire taste what I am tasting right now!"

After uttering those harsh words, the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, had no choice but to continue facing reality.

He still had to clean up the mess in Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning, and how to stabilize the current precarious situation became the most troublesome problem for Tsuchishiro.

"If the rumors are true, the dragon vein in Loulan might be the only bargaining chip our Hidden Cloud Village has left to turn things around..."

The next second, Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze, who had returned to Konoha with the two Yugito, also received news about the Loulan Dragon Vein.

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Minato Namikaze fell into deep thought.

Akira Hatake's eyes widened suddenly.

"I always felt like I'd overlooked something, and it turns out it's you... the Loulan Dragon Vein!"

Chapter 243 presents a great gift to the Hyuga and Uchiha clans.

The Loulan Dragon Vein is a "river" containing immense chakra energy.

In Akira Hatake's mind, the Loulan Dragon Vein was not a product of the ninja world, but rather an object from outer space.

Moreover, when the Loulan Dragon Vein fell from the heavens to the beginning of Loulan, it possessed a certain consciousness, knowing that it was lurking underground in the Loulan Kingdom and relying on absorbing the earth's energy to restore itself.

The desert surrounding Loulan is because the Loulan dragon vein absorbed energy from the earth, which damaged the vitality of the land around Loulan and gradually turned it into a desert.

However, later on, for some unknown reason, the dragon veins beneath Loulan not only failed to repair their damaged parts, but also completely destroyed their remaining consciousness.

As the old consciousness dissipated, the dragon veins beneath Loulan, after a long period of evolution, gave birth to a new consciousness.

This new consciousness signed a contract with the Queen of Loulan, which not only protected its own consciousness from further damage, but also enhanced the protective power of the small kingdom of Loulan.

However, there are many more details about the Loulan dragon vein than that.

Based on his memories from his previous life, Akira Hatake knows that the Loulan Dragon Vein has another very powerful ability: to reverse time and travel between the past and the future.

The Loulan Dragon Vein possesses a divine yet demonic power, and it fell from the heavens, retaining its consciousness even after landing in the Ninja World, knowing to rely on absorbing the power of the Ninja World's land to restore itself.

All of this inevitably leads to speculation.

The dragon veins beneath the Loulan Kingdom bear a striking resemblance to the divine trees that the Otsutsuki clan has extensively planted on various planets!

Is there any connection between the dragon veins beneath the Loulan Kingdom and the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens?

If it exists, then what is it?

Is it the incarnation of the seed of the Divine Tree, or the fallen Otsutsuki clan, or perhaps...?

The questions in his mind were tangled together, impossible to unravel, and he couldn't figure them out no matter how hard he tried, causing Akira Hatake to frown.

"What's wrong, Ming?"

Minato Namikaze noticed Akira Hatake's furrowed brows and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Teacher, the dragon vein beneath the Loulan Kingdom is very important to us."

Hatake Akira snapped out of his reverie, his expression becoming very serious. "If possible, I would like to lead a ninja squad to visit the Loulan Kingdom myself this time."

"In that case... what about the two kingdoms of Fudo..."

Minato Namikaze was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that a mere disturbance of the underground dragon vein of Loulan Kingdom would make Akira Hatake take it so seriously.

"Is there something I don't know about this?"

Minato Namikaze asked himself this question in his heart, and then looked at Akira Hatake and asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Teacher, there are indeed many things you don't know."

Akira Hatake is preparing to have a small showdown with Minato Namikaze this time, wanting to tell Minato a part of the truth about the ninja world.

Only if Minato Namikaze knew the cause and effect would he unconditionally support some of Akira Hatake's decisions in the future.

Although Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze have a very close relationship now, you can't judge a book by its cover, and suspicion often arises from small things.

Akira Hatake didn't want Minato Namikaze to doubt him someday, so it was essential to nip it in the bud.

"Teacher, do you know where chakra comes from?"

"Chakra?" Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Akira Hatake would ask this question.

"Chakra was spread across the earth by the goddess Uzuki, and the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of Ninjutsu, then taught the world how to refine and use chakra."

Despite his doubts, Minato Namikaze still provided an answer, but Akira Hatake's question still stirred up his suspicions.
