Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 301

Rasa finally received reinforcements from Konoha, and his tense heart finally relaxed after seeing Shiro's figure.

Because the virtual disaster has already begun to spread.

Traces of the void have appeared in many places. These voids, like pests, are spreading from the oases that dot the Land of Wind to the surrounding areas.

The origin of the dragon vein has been confirmed: Loulan, the starting point of the dragon vein. But what good does knowing that do?

Is it possible to shut down the dragon vein?

Will these voids disappear immediately after the dragon vein is closed?

Where do these illusions come from? Is it truly a pure land?

These Tenrasa not only had to worry about Hollow attacks, but also a sense of unease. After all, the village was now united with Konoha, and the interests of both sides were very closely intertwined. It was a case of one thing affecting the whole situation. But if the Land of Wind were to decline again because of Hollows, then everything would probably have to be started all over again.

"What are these?"

Looking at the pyramids of all sizes outside the oasis, covered with sealing runes, Lu Nie was somewhat speechless.

"They're all sealed Hollows," Rasa sighed. The Sand Ninja, who had finally recovered some of their strength, suffered further losses in this wave of Hollow calamity.

Fortunately, there was a buffer period. If this had happened right after the Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure might have been wiped out or eliminated from the list of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

The last Kazekage?

That's not a good reputation!

"Is the Hollow sealed inside?" A somewhat energetic female voice rang out behind Shika Nie. Following her voice, what first caught the eyes of Rasa and the other Sand Ninja was a head of long, blood-red hair.

"It's Kushina? How's Naruto? Gaara and Karura are hoping he can come visit again." Seeing Kushina's appearance, Rasa felt much more at ease. Although he hadn't seen Minato Namikaze yet, since Kushina had left the village, there was no doubt that Minato would follow.

Over the years, there have been close exchanges between the high-ranking officials of Konoha and Sunagakure, as well as between the ninjas. Both sides even recommend some outstanding ninja students to train in the other's ninja village.

Karura was rescued by Konoha's medical ninjas during her difficult childbirth. Afterwards, she went to Konoha for a period of recuperation. During her time in Konoha, Tsunade helped her with her health, and she also became acquainted with Kushina and her son Naruto with Minato.

"Naruto has been sent to Mikoto's place and is with Sasuke. This isn't a vacation," Kushina explained.

She was in high spirits. Although her mood was quite stable now, being able to leave the village always made her feel better.

Rasa nodded. He knew Mikoto and Sasuke's identities; they were the wife and child of the Uchiha clan leader, and also a child with high ninja talent.

The younger brother of Uchiha Itachi, a disciple of Shiro Nirvana!

"Didn't you receive Yecang's information?" Lu Nie asked as he walked into the oasis with Luo Sha after the two finished exchanging pleasantries.

"Received it, but the problem remains unsolved." Rasa gave a wry smile. The ninjas' understanding of Hollows was still somewhat superficial. When he first saw a Hollow and personally felt that somewhat familiar power, he almost suspected that the Cloud Ninjas were up to something again!

After all, apart from Konoha, only Kumogakure is left that uses Hollow powers! And Kumogakure has a history of doing so!

"Loulan has become the spiritual land you mentioned. After discussing with Queen Sara, she has temporarily relocated the people of Loulan to other oases."

"Are there many Loulan Void creatures?" Lu Nie was speechless.

Since even the people of Loulan have migrated out, it seems that the territory of Loulan is too dangerous.

"It's just a cautious relocation." Seeing Shikane's expression, Rasa knew what he was thinking. He shook his head and explained, "Ninjas with chakra are the primary targets of Hollows. Ordinary people are at most just affected."

However, since Loulan is situated on a powder keg, it would be best to relocate the surrounding population to minimize casualties before addressing the problem itself.

Lu Nie nodded, agreeing with Luo Sha's statement.

The relationship between Loulan and Sunagakure is also good, especially with Queen Sara, who has the ability to control the dragon bloodline. The Sunagakure ninja are very concerned about her safety.

"Before coming here, Orochimaru-sensei asked me to compile some information about Hollows. It's top secret, but since Hollows have appeared and are wreaking havoc, threatening reality, it's only right to share some of it publicly. After all, Sunagakure and Konoha are close allies."

In the camp within the oasis, Lu Nie unrolled a scroll and handed it to Luo Sha beside him, saying...

Luo Sha carefully took the scroll, unfolded it in his hand, and began to read it intently, without answering Lu Nie's question for the time being.

After he finished reading the information about the Void on the scroll in his hand, his expression became extremely grave.

"So it's related to the Pure Land, or rather, the Underworld? Does that mean these illusions all represent a departed soul?"

Rasa felt the scroll in his hand was incredibly heavy. Although the contents of the scroll explained the origin and place of existence of the Hollows, the information was so astonishing that he was still somewhat dazed after reading it.

"That's one way to understand it, but it's more complicated. Because although both Hueco Mundo and Pure Land are places where souls go, Hueco Mundo is far from peaceful."

We discovered the existence of Hueco Mundo a long time ago through a forbidden technique of the Second Hokage, and conducted some investigations into it to the best of our ability.

The Hollowfication Mask was an experimental product of this exploration. We became aware of the power of the Hollow, or rather, a higher-quality power distinct from chakra, and wanted to attempt to utilize and control it. However, the technology at the time was immature. The Hollowfication Masks we created far exceeded the limits of a ninja's mental endurance, making it a power even more dangerous than natural energy.

Lu Nie explained, unabashedly shifting another blame onto the Second Hokage. It seemed the Second Hokage wouldn't care even if he knew. His main body was currently engrossed in research, while his secondary body was active in the Land of Water, searching for Madara, Zetsu, and Uchiha Setsuna, among others, and had no time for anything else.

"So, you don't have any good solutions for Hollows either, and you still need to rely on sealing techniques?" Rasa's heart sank.

The Hollow Disaster is clearly a long-term calamity. If sealing techniques are the only option, then a large number of ninjas skilled in sealing techniques will need to be trained.

However, ninjas with sealing techniques who can be effective are at least Chunin level. And Chunin are considered the backbone of a major ninja village!

"No, no, no, we have developed another set of techniques that can effectively damage the power of the Void." Lu Nie shook his head and slowly said under Luo Sha's astonished gaze.
