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

After noticing the abnormality of the dragon vein.

Logically, Sunagakure would first send an elite squad to investigate the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan.

This process can take anywhere from half a day to one or two days.

This depends entirely on the reaction speed of the Sand Shadow.

And the degree of importance they attach to the dragon vein.

It will take at least one to two days for Yekura's Kazekage order to be relayed.

In other words, the Loulan survivors' caravan may still encounter an ambush by the Sand Ninja within two to three days.

Just get through these few days.

Loulan was truly safe only after Yecang Fengying gave the order.

Sarah nodded. "I'll go arrange it right away."

Fang Yuan said calmly, "I don't have much time, you'd better hurry."

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye since this trip.

It was time for him to return to Konoha as agreed.

Sarah nodded silently.

Although I'm leaving my people, I can't help but feel a little lost.

But she understood that this arrangement was undoubtedly the best for the survivors of Loulan.

Sarah no longer hesitated.

Finally, Fang Yuan nodded.

Then he strode off toward the distant oasis.

After running for about ten meters, she paused briefly, turned around, and shouted to Fang Yuan:

"I am no longer the Queen of Loulan, I will only be Sarah from now on, your Sarah!"

After saying that, Sarah didn't turn back.

They ran all the way to the caravan of the Loulan survivors.

Fang Yuan, dressed in a black robe, stood quietly on the sand dune.

I watched her walk away.

My Extra gum?

He silently complained to himself.

Before long, the caravan of Loulan survivors, who had been camping in the oasis, set off.

Fang Yuan did not immediately catch up with the convoy.

Instead, they turned their attention to the other side.

Sunagakure had arranged for two ninjas to monitor the caravan of the Loulan survivors.

Fang Yuan had already discovered this when he was searching for the Loulan survivors' caravan with the Grass Ninja Squad.

The unusual activities of the Loulan survivors.

They will likely encounter their obstruction immediately.

Fang Yuan's soul banner flashed, and a small, dark purple dragon appeared before him. "Go, kill them."

Xiao Long immediately turned and darted away, disappearing into the sand dunes in the blink of an eye.

It didn't take long.

Xiao Long easily dealt with the two Sand Ninja in the distance.

"Well done!"

Fang Yuan stroked the little dragon's head, seemingly lost in thought, and said:

"The dragon vein is now a thing of the past. You, reborn, deserve a new name. How about we call you... Ao Run?"

A hint of anticipation appeared on Fang Yuan's lips. "I'll be waiting for the day you can take human form."

In the ninja world, summoning beasts almost never take human form.

But from Fang Yuan's perspective, who has the backing of the system...

Transformation is not impossible.

If a dragon vein can be shaped into the form of a dragon, then it means that sooner or later it can also be shaped into the form of a human.

After dealing with the Sand Ninja, Fang Yuan put "Ao Run" back into the Soul Banner, wrapped his robe tightly, and followed the caravan of the Loulan remnants at a distance.

Fang Yuan, now with more free time.

Naturally, they began to ponder the matter of dragon veins.

The origin of dragon veins.

He vaguely had the answer.

This dragon vein is not a natural product of the ninja world.

Or to be more precise, it is not entirely a natural product of the ninja world.

The core of the dragon vein, its very origin, should be like Kaguya Otsutsuki, descended from the outside world into the ninja world.

However, they are different from the Otsutsuki clan, who plunder energy.

This dragon vein's origin did not intentionally descend upon the ninja world.

Its arrival was more like an accident.

Moreover, it must have been severely damaged when it arrived.

Its severity forced it to establish a contract with the local nobility.

In order to gain the patronage of the local nobility.

This is the reason why the Dragon Vein has a contractual relationship with the lineage of the Loulan Queen.

After that, the source of the dragon vein began to penetrate underground.

They attempted to restore themselves by absorbing the power of the earth's veins.

However, in this process...

It seems there's something wrong with the origin of the dragon vein.

Or perhaps it was attacked in some way, causing its origin to completely collapse.

But it left behind a lingering obsession.

After thousands of years of gestation, a new source of dragon veins has emerged.

A completely new, yet still unclear, origin of the dragon vein.

This is the origin of a completely new dragon vein.

They forgot everything from the past.

Therefore, the absorption of energy from the earth's veins ceased.

They have been staying obediently underground in the ancient city of Loulan.

She only occasionally responds to the call of the Loulan Queen's lineage.

That's why.

Only the lineage of the Loulan Queen was able to maintain this unequal contractual relationship.

if not.

Its chakra volume is comparable to that of a tailed beast, comparable to that of a dragon vein.

Ordinary people of the Loulan Queen's lineage have no ability whatsoever.

Nor are they qualified to maintain a contractual relationship with it generation after generation.

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

He recalled the words spoken by Queen Loulan, also known as Sara, when she was appeasing the dragon vein.

Fang Yuan's thoughts suddenly began to wander.

The phrase "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands" doesn't really fit with the ninja world.

So when Sarah said it.

Fang Yuan's first reaction was surprise, utter surprise.

This sentence structure was undoubtedly established by the ancestors of the first generation of dragon vein origin and the Loulan Queen lineage when they signed the contract.

Therefore, based solely on this sentence structure...

Fang Yuan could vaguely guess where the original source of the dragon vein came from.

"Maybe we're from the same hometown?"

He suddenly smiled, pulling his wandering thoughts back.

Looking up at the sky, he murmured to himself:

"What is this world really like?"

……

Konoha Village, Uchiha Clan Training Grounds.

Shinichi Uchiha took the lunchbox and ate it in large mouthfuls, mumbling indistinctly as he spoke:

"Yu, didn't I tell you a long time ago that you don't need to bring me food? I've prepared military rations."

A little girl named Uchiha Yu standing nearby laughed:

"Dad, eating military ration pills all the time isn't good for your health."

The girl was about eleven or twelve years old.

He had short hair and wore ninja clothing embroidered with the Uchiha clan crest.

Shinichi Uchiha, engrossed in his meal, didn't bother to speak and simply shook his head.

After swallowing the rice ball in his mouth, he said:

“The tribe has been in turmoil lately, so don’t come to the training ground anymore.”

The girl frowned slightly, put her hands on her hips, and asked:

"I'm not afraid at all. Dad will protect me. Dad is the chief guard of the clan chief."

Uchiha Shinichi snorted coldly, "It's precisely because I have to protect the clan leader at all times that you have to obey me."

Shinichi Uchiha served as Fugaku Uchiha's bodyguard.

Unless there are special circumstances, he always needs to protect Fugaku Uchiha.

The girl said angrily, "Okay!"

far away.

Obito Uchiha, wearing a vortex mask, sat on a tree branch.

He gazed at Uchiha Shinichi and Uchiha Yu from afar.

At this moment, Jue's body rose out of the tree trunk and said:

"I have already prepared everything you arranged."

Obito said in a cold tone:

"Then let's get started."

Zetsu also looked towards Shinichi Uchiha, and asked with a somewhat strange expression, "Does this method really work?"

Obito gave Zetsu a cold glance: "What do you think?"

Jue gave an awkward smile: "Perhaps."
