Obito and Rin were also there.
However, due to the special nature of this mission, Minato only brought Kakashi, who was of high skill level, and assigned the other two to D-rank missions.
At first, Obito was very resistant, but after Minato reminded him that this was an opportunity to be alone with Rin, the boy immediately blushed and agreed.
Kakashi was speechless.
Chapter 207 This is History
“There have been unusual chakra fluctuations recently near Loulan. We are unable to contact the Queen of Loulan and suspect that something has happened there, so we are sending you there to gather intelligence and ascertain their situation.”
"Understood!" Minato nodded and accepted the task.
"Simply put, this mission was only to have us investigate what happened in Loulan, not to help either side. So, in the original story, Minato was always just investigating and had no interest in anything else. If Naruto hadn't been causing trouble, Minato probably wouldn't have helped the Loulan Queen quell the rebellion," Zhang Shan thought to himself.
After the four of them came out of the Hokage Building, they agreed to meet at the Konoha gate an hour later. Then they went back to pack their luggage and set off for the Loulan Kingdom.
After returning home and explaining the situation to his two wives, the two began preparing the things Zhang Shan would need for his trip.
Before long, a huge bundle was placed in front of Zhang Shan.
"No, you two, I'm on a mission, not on vacation..."
"Is there any difference?" Xiao Guang looked at Zhang Shan with an innocent expression.
Xiao Nan nodded in complete agreement: "With your abilities, honey, who are you afraid of in this world? We say we're going on a mission, but actually, we might come back with one more person on our side!"
Zhang Shan immediately swore, "Don't worry, my dear wife! I, Zhang Shan, am definitely not the kind of scumbag who falls in love with every girl I see! I am a responsible man!"
"Alright, alright, we all know you're a responsible man, but we're just reminding you not to bring any weird women home!" Xiao Guang sighed.
Soon after, Zhang Shan and the other three met up, signed a document at the gatekeeper's place, and then left the village for Loulan.
"Loulan is in the Land of Wind, are we going to that desert country again...?" Rope Tree still had a rather poor impression of the Land of Wind.
Compared to the bountiful Land of Fire, the Land of Wind is truly unsuitable for human habitation.
"It's just a mission, not a permanent stay," Zhang Shan said nonchalantly. "However, I've heard that Loulan has a dragon vein with unlimited chakra. I wonder if it's true?"
"Unlimited chakra? I wonder how that compares to mine?" Nawaki said, utterly bored.
“He probably doesn’t have as much chakra as Nawaki, after all, Nawaki’s chakra is almost twice mine,” Minato laughed.
Behind the three, Kakashi glanced at them, feeling that he couldn't quite understand what they were saying.
How did human chakra become associated with the word "infinite"?
"Not sure, let me listen again!"
The group quickly darted through the woods. Zhang Shan was still thinking about what expression he should use when he saw Naruto.
I saw Sasuke a few years ago but missed the chance to have my blood drawn. I definitely can't miss this opportunity this time!
"However, doing scientific research is not very meaningful now. If I want to get the Rinnegan or Tenseigan, I can just go to the moon and extract a vial of blood from the Otsutsuki descendant."
If all else fails, they can borrow some chakra from the nine tailed beasts and use their chakra to fuse with the cells of the Otsutsuki clan. Zhang Shan felt that doing so would definitely yield unexpected results!
However, as Xiao Guang said, Zhang Shan's current strength is enough to sweep across the world, so whether he has the Rinnegan or not makes no difference to him.
"Consider it completing my collection~"
After two and a half days of travel, the four of them finally arrived at the vicinity of Loulan at a leisurely pace.
In the desert, Kakashi remained silent.
"What should have been a day's journey has been delayed until now because of these two people's delays..."
His gaze swept lightly over Zhang Shan's rope tree, while he cursed it inwardly.
In Kakashi's original plan, he should have already started heading back, instead of just arriving here as he is now.
"Let's go in and take a look." Zhang Shan led the way, and the group swaggered inside.
At this moment, in the royal palace of the Loulan Kingdom.
“Your Majesty! Those outsiders are ninjas from Konoha. They must have come to our country for the power of the Dragon Vein!” The obese An Lushan bowed to Sara, who was sitting on the throne.
Although he called her Queen, An Lushan's eyes showed no reverence whatsoever, but rather disdain.
Queen Sara, however, did not notice An Lushan's ulterior motives. She simply nodded to him and said to everyone, "An Lushan will arrange all these matters. If there is not enough chakra, I will open the gaps in the dragon vein a little more."
"Your Majesty's reputation is truly illustrious!" An Lushan immediately offered a flattering compliment!
He'd even be willing to lie on the ground and suck on Sara's fair and tender toes if Sara contributed more chakra to him!
After the meeting, Sara took off her queenly attire and, feeling utterly bored, went to the place where Naruto was imprisoned.
"Hey! Let me out right now! Or I'll resort to violence!" Naruto shouted and cursed in the cell!
Naruto Uzumaki, son of the Fourth Hokage and second disciple of Zhang Shan, the richest man in the ninja world, may be easygoing in his daily life, but that doesn't mean others can bully him like this!
If it weren't for my high moral character, I would have already started conquering this small country long ago, when those unreasonable people imprisoned me!
Seeing someone approaching, Naruto immediately shouted, "Hey! You woman over there! Are you the king of this country? Tell your people to let me out right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Sara, who was already in a bad mood, became even more irritable after hearing Naruto's voice!
"Shut up! You intruder! I'm already being merciful by not killing you, so don't spout nonsense here!" Sara yelled at Naruto with a sour face.
"What? Invaders? It was clearly your Loulan Kingdom that invited our Konoha ninjas here, how did it become me invading you?!"
"Huh? When did I invite any Konoha ninjas? Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that this woman was completely unreasonable, Naruto didn't bother to waste words with her. He formed a hand seal with one hand, and his body turned into a black shadow, disappearing from Sara's sight.
"What?!" Sarah's face turned deathly pale instantly!
She seemed to only now realize that she was facing a ninja, and apparently an elite ninja from Konoha.
Sarah leaned nervously against the wall, her eyes scanning her surroundings, her fear reaching its peak!
At this moment, Naruto was hanging upside down above Sara's head, thinking to himself, "Is this girl really the decisive and ruthless Queen of Loulan in the future? She seems a bit dim-witted..."
Two days ago, he suddenly received an order from his father, the Fourth Hokage, to come and help Sunagakure hunt down a rogue ninja named Hyakuzu.
As a ninja, Naruto accepted the mission without hesitation, along with his teammates Sasuke and Sakura, with Shikamaru, the strategist, leading the team.
It should have been a foolproof plan, but unexpectedly, the centipede detonated the dragon vein, and the powerful chakra brought Naruto back to this era more than 20 years ago.
The first thing Naruto saw after opening his eyes was a girl named Sara.
As for his teammates Sasuke and Sakura, they have not yet met each other.
However, Naruto guessed that they had probably also traveled through time, but he didn't know which time the other side had traveled to...
Just as Naruto and Sara were engaged in a battle of wits, Zhang Shan and his group entered the Loulan Kingdom.
Looking at the mechanical Loulan surrounding him, Rope Tree couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap! This place looks so advanced!"
Zhang Shan and Minato ignored the guy's antics. Minato asked with some doubt, "Zhang Shan, is it really okay for us to just swagger in like this? After all, the Hokage gave us the mission of secretly investigating the strange things that have happened in Loulan recently."
"It's alright. If they dare to cause trouble, we can just wipe out their country while we're at it," Zhang Shan said casually.
Minato thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Of the three of them, apart from Zhang Shan, who rarely makes a move, Minato and Nawaki have been prominent figures in Konoha over the years.
From their simple moves, the ninja world had already equated the two of them with the legendary Sannin.
This is only what the outside world knows. If they were really allowed to go all out, the two of them could wipe out the other four great ninja villages in an afternoon.
Because of the Flying Thunder God Technique, traveling doesn't take time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi must have had ulterior motives in sending all three of them to Loulan this time.
For example, if Loulan does not cooperate, they will destroy the country.
Just then, the three of them suddenly stopped and looked at a certain shadowy place.
"Who's there?" Zhang Shan asked.
The other person's chakra gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had encountered it a long time ago.
But the only vague memories he might have are probably from the very beginning of his transmigration.
Seeing that he had been discovered, the person in the shadows had no choice but to reveal himself, and a woman in a tight-fitting outfit appeared in their line of sight.
The woman wore a mask, but her dark green bun and two orange bangs gave her away.
"I didn't expect that even though I arrived before you, you still managed to find me. You truly deserve to be the pinnacle of Konoha's new generation," Ye Cang said coldly.
Zhang Shan was also quite surprised to run into Ye Cang here. He immediately greeted her with a smile, "Little sister from Sunagakure! Do you remember me? We met on the battlefield!"
Yecang's tone remained unchanged: "Of course I remember, Zhang Shan, a Konoha forbidden technique master with an SSS-level danger index, who killed Lady Chiyo with a forbidden technique when he was only eleven years old!"
"Oh my~ I didn't expect you to have such a deep impression of me~" Zhang Shan scratched his head shyly.
Ye Cang's face darkened, thinking to himself, "How could I forget, you... bastard!"
Back on the battlefield, Zhang Shan buried her in the ground with an explosive tag. At first, Ye Cang couldn't understand it, but after she led a squad, she suddenly became cheerful!
It turns out that Zhang Shan was saving her!
If Zhang Shan hadn't buried her alive back then, such an outstanding bloodline limit holder would surely have perished on the battlefield!
Therefore, Ye Cang has quite a lot of feelings for Zhang Shan.
Ye Cang gave Zhang Shan, who was still lost in his own world, a cold glance, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the area.
The Sand Village has recently noticed that things are a bit unsettled in Loulan, so they sent her, an Anbu member, to check on the situation.
Originally, she only needed to come and take a stroll, but now that she has encountered someone from Konoha, and someone she has been concerned about all these years, she can no longer pretend she didn't see him!
Even if she was just following behind and watching, she wanted to see what the other person was planning to do!
Seeing Ye Cang leave, Zhang Shan touched his cheek and laughed, "You just got shy and left when you saw me? My charm is really something!"
Minato's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "Hikaru, Minami, it seems Zhang Shan is planning to close the net again..."
Nawaki wasn't the clueless, clueless guy he used to be anymore. Sensing Yekura's presence not far behind him, he thought, "Aren't you leaving? If you don't leave soon, you'll become one of Konoha's people..."
As the two were complaining, a purple light suddenly flashed across the sky, and two figures fell from it.
"Watch out!" Kakashi instantly became alert!
He drew the short sword from behind him and entered combat mode.
