When they become villains in Konoha, the female ninjas all break down.

In the end, it was Minato Namikaze who personally sealed the dragon vein.

However, regarding this result...

He had anticipated this; if the fourth generation's seal on the dragon vein was so easy to break...

The Sand Village wouldn't just ignore the treasure trove that is the Dragon Vein.

To know.

This place belongs to the Land of Wind.

It belongs to Sunagakure Village.

114 Searching for the Queen of Loulan; Intercepting Xianglin and her daughter

I gathered up my chaotic thoughts.

Fang Yuan strode into the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan.

As soon as we entered the Loulan ruins...

Fang Yuan felt a strange sense of oppression.

This sense of oppression is not manifested in terms of chakra.

Rather, it is reflected in the mind.

It's like an ordinary person accidentally wandering into the hunting grounds of a wild beast.

"interesting!"

Muttering something, Fang Yuan released the wandering souls within the "Human Emperor Banner" to survey his surroundings while walking towards the central tower of the Loulan ruins.

At the same time, he carefully observed his surroundings.

In the feedback from the wandering spirits.

Everything around was deathly silent.

The entire Loulan ancient city ruins showed absolutely no signs of life, let alone chakra activity.

"Hmm, something's strange."

Upon seeing this, a sense of doubt arose in Fang Yuan's mind.

Even if there are very few creatures in the desert.

There are still quite a few creatures like snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

It stands to reason.

There are so many architectural remains in the ancient city of Loulan.

It's a great place to shelter from the wind and sand.

There shouldn't be no signs of life at all.

Despite his doubts, Fang Yuan showed no fear whatsoever.

Whatever is wrong here.

For him now, there is no great threat.

Even if the worst happens.

Even with the dragon vein chakra running rampant, he was confident he could escape unscathed.

Soon.

Fang Yuan then arrived at the place where the fourth generation sealed the dragon vein.

"It really is a troublesome sealing technique!"

With just one glance, Fang Yuan was able to identify the sealing technique that Minato Namikaze had applied to the dragon vein.

Look at this posture.

It is clearly a composite sealing technique that combines multiple sealing methods.

As he approached, he squatted down.

They carefully examined each sealing technique.

As he analyzed, he muttered to himself:

"The foundation should be the Four Symbols Seal... right?"

"It also contains sealing techniques for contract sealing, as well as another type of sealing technique..."

Based on a preliminary analysis...

Fang Yuan can make that conclusion.

The fourth generation's Dragon Vein Seal incorporates at least three powerful sealing techniques.

He currently only recognizes the most basic Four Symbols Seal and Contract Seal.

Ultimately, he suffered from not knowing how to use sealing techniques.

As for the third sealing technique, Fang Yuan had absolutely no clue.

It doesn't seem to be a sealing technique from the Uzumaki lineage.

"At that time, Minato Namikaze should not have inherited the position of Hokage yet."

"Then there are only two ways for him to learn sealing techniques."

Fang Yuan muttered to himself, "One is the sealing technique of the Uzumaki lineage that I learned from Kushina."

"Another way is to learn the sealing techniques of the Myoboku lineage from our teacher Jiraiya."

Mt. Myoki?

Thinking about this, Fang Yuan had a guess.

This is the third sealing technique in the Dragon Vein Seal.

It's most likely a sealing technique from the Myoboku lineage.

He got up and took a few steps back.

Fang Yuan rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a while.

He felt that with his current abilities...

Forcibly breaking the seal on Minato Namikaze's dragon vein should not be a problem.

However, based on the way the dragon vein is depicted in the theatrical version.

It should just be a surge of powerful and violent energy.

Although there is consciousness, it is very weak.

If it's released like this, it's hard to say whether a conscious dragon vein might emerge.

It's very likely that this energy will be completely released, leaving nothing behind.

This goes against his original intention.

What he wanted was to cultivate the dragon vein into the number one worker in the soul banner.

You don't need to be too smart.

But you absolutely must have a basic understanding of it.

"Does the lineage of the Loulan Queen seem to have some kind of contractual relationship with the dragon vein?"

"Perhaps we can awaken the dragon vein's consciousness through the bloodline of the Loulan Queen?"

Fang Yuan thought about it and already had an idea in mind.

So if you want to be on the safe side...

When breaking the seal of the fourth generation's dragon vein.

It would be best to keep the bloodline of the Loulan Queen with you.

This is the only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"But where can we find the descendants of the Loulan Queen?"

……

Konoha Village, Root Base.

shuh...

A figure landed and knelt down in front of Danzo.

"Lord Danzo, we have found Hiramaki's body."

Danzo, leaning on his cane, slammed it heavily on the ground: "How did you die?"

The Root member, who was kneeling, immediately replied:

"What injured him was a bone that went through his chest, but it wasn't fatal, but..."

"What truly killed him was the complete damage to his brain tissue, so we are unable to detect any information about him."

The more Danzo listened, the more gloomy his face became.

When they learned that Bingmao had been killed.

He actually subconsciously felt that death was the only normal thing to do?

In any case, those sent to monitor Fang Yuan's roots will eventually disappear.

After considering it for a while...

A surge of anger began to rise in my heart.

This Fang Yuan is really hard to like.

Danzo then asked, "Where did Fang Yuan go afterward?"

"We have lost track of him."

Danzo didn't pay much attention, thinking to himself, "What exactly does Fang Yuan want to do by suddenly leaving Konoha?"

"Looking for materials to forge a sword? That's an excuse that can only fool Minato Namikaze."

Just then, someone else came over and respectfully said, "Lord Danzo, the results of the swordsmanship training are in."

Danzo's eyes lit up. Suppressing his thoughts, he asked:

"What was the result?"

The Root ninja dared not delay and quickly replied:

"As you instructed, some ninjas had their extra organs removed before practicing swordsmanship, and their progress was indeed much smoother, with their strength improving by leaps and bounds."

"With that ruthless and cunning swordsmanship, even a Chunin could put up a fight against a Jonin."

"it is good!"

Danzo let out a low shout, "This is good news!"

Is it necessary to remove unnecessary organs in order to cultivate oneself?

If you say so.

Is Fang Yuan that kid also one?

Danzo suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude.

It now seems that the so-called entanglement between Fang Yuan and the Uchiha widow is likely a hoax.

"Immediately promote the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique within the Root Clan based on this method, so that the members of the Root Clan can further enhance their strength."

Upon hearing this order, the Root ninjas' expressions turned grim.

But he dared not and could not disobey Danzo's orders. "Yes...yes!"

"But this method..."
