All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Uchiha Sō was one year younger than Namikaze Minato, and exactly four or five years older than Kakashi.

Therefore, the last queen should be about the same age as him.

The age matches, and the hair color matches too.

Among the group of two or three hundred people, only that woman met the criteria.

Therefore, Uchiha Xiang was able to confirm that the woman holding the baby was the last Queen of Loulan.

"They're really destitute..."

With a sigh, Uchiha Sho was about to step forward and make contact with the other party.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose up, and when the white smoke dissipated, Xuanqing's dark blue-green snake body was revealed.

Uchiha Sho was slightly taken aback.

The only people who could get Xuanqing to send him messages were Orochimaru and Pain, and it had been a long time since either of them had contacted him.

Therefore, he was quite surprised by Xuanqing's sudden appearance.

Take the scroll that Xuanqing was holding in his mouth, unfold it and take a look. Uchiha Xiang's face immediately darkened.

"That Black Zetsu guy is really persistent..."

The scroll contained only a warning message, sent by Orochimaru.

At the urging of Black Zetsu and Obito, Nagato agreed to continue the plan to collect the Tailed Beasts.

After all, Nagato felt that the Land of Grass under the command of Uchiha Sō's Heavenly Court was well-developed.

However, he understood even more clearly that in order to preserve these hard-won achievements, and even to change the ninja world into this state, he needed to possess absolute strength that would make the five great ninja villages obey him.

Sasori, who recently joined Akatsuki, was preparing to return to Sunagakure to collect some more "materials," so the two rogue ninjas from Sasori's team had already headed to the Land of Wind to capture the One-Tailed Beast.

It seems I need to speed things up.

Don't wait until you get to Sunagakure, by which time Gaara's One-Tailed Beast will have already been captured.

Uchiha Ei changed into a black cloak and put on a monkey mask he had bought during his travels in the Land of Wind. He then quietly waited for night to fall.

A few hours later, the sun set and the moon quietly rose.

At this moment, wisps of smoke rose from the caravan of the Loulan survivors.

They sat together in twos and threes, enjoying a rare moment of leisure during the day.

The Queen of Loulan did not sit with the others to eat; instead, she held her baby alone in her tent, humming lullabies softly.

Under the cover of night, Uchiha Xiang silently sneaked into the Loulan Queen's tent and spoke to the somewhat distracted Loulan Queen.

What are you thinking about?

Queen Loulan was startled by the sound. She quickly hugged her child tightly and retreated to a corner. While watching Uchiha Eboshi, who was wrapped in a black robe, warily, she asked him a question.

Who are you? What do you want?

Uchiha Xiang said calmly, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to discuss a business deal with you."

The Queen of Loulan asked with some doubt: "Doing business?"

Apart from some livestock, the caravan of the Loulan survivors contained nothing of value.

Therefore, the Queen of Loulan did not lower her guard because of Uchiha Eboshi's words.

Of course, she didn't shout for help either.

Because she knew very well that the person who could sneak into her tent without a sound must be a ninja, and not just any ordinary ninja.

If the enemy is a powerful ninja, the Loulan survivors outside won't be of much help.

Your cries for help will not only fail to save yourself, but will also harm others.

Uchiha Xiang nodded: "Yes, it's about doing business."

The Queen of Loulan was about to say something, but due to nervousness and panic, she coughed repeatedly and it took her a long time to finally stop.

Seeing that Queen Loulan was coughing up blood, Uchiha Xiang frowned and silently activated his Sharingan, scanning Queen Loulan's face.

To everyone's surprise, the Loulan Queen's Qi and blood were stagnant, and she appeared to be seriously ill.

"You are very ill."

After catching her breath, the Queen of Loulan spoke weakly.

"I...I know."

After looking around at the somewhat shabby tent of the Loulan Queen, Uchiha Ei spoke up.

"If you don't get treatment in time, you probably won't live for more than a few years."

The Queen of Loulan did not respond to this topic, but instead asked with a serious expression.

"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

"I've already said, I'm here to do business with you."

The Queen of Loulan shook her head: "I have nothing to sell."

"No, you have a priceless treasure."

After a pause, Uchiha Sho laughed again, "However, it is indeed of no use to you and your people."

Queen Loulan immediately understood what Uchiha Ei meant.

She looked at Uchiha Sō, who was wearing a comical monkey mask, and asked, "You're thinking of taking over the Dragon Vein!?"

Uchiha Sho did not deny it. He said in a cold voice, "That's right, the business I want to discuss with you is the Dragon Vein."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The Queen of Loulan refused without hesitation.

Uchiha Xiang didn't ask pointless questions like "why," but coldly replied, "Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

The Queen of Loulan understood the threat in Uchiha Xiang's words, but she was not afraid. Instead, she straightened her chest, and her full pectoral muscles trembled.

"You don't understand what the power of the dragon vein means at all. It's not something you can control. Please put away your ambition."

Uchiha Sho shook his head and said, "You're the one who doesn't understand the situation. I told you, you don't have the right to refuse."

Turning her head to the side, Queen Loulan fell silent, seemingly trying to fight against Uchiha Eboshi in this way.

"Listen to the voices outside. Your people are struggling to survive in the desert in order to follow you."

After a pause, Uchiha Sho's voice grew increasingly cold.

"You wouldn't want to see them die one by one in front of you, would you?"

The black robe and the comical monkey mask made Uchiha Xiang look like he wasn't a normal person, which added a lot of credibility to his words.

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Loulan turned pale.

She opened her mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a Loulan survivor came to the Queen's tent and called out.

"Your Highness, the soup is ready. Would you like me to bring it in?"

Inside the tent, Uchiha Eboshi silently took out a kunai.

Upon seeing this, the Queen of Loulan's heart leaped into her throat, and she quickly spoke to the outside of the tent.

"No need, I'm not hungry right now."

The Loulan survivors outside the tent said, "If you get hungry, you can call me anytime."

Hearing the distant footsteps of the Loulan people outside the tent, the Loulan Queen breathed a sigh of relief.

Have you thought it through?

Uchiha Ei asked softly.

"I can't break the seal, and forcing me won't help."

The Loulan Queen gave a somewhat compromising answer.

"You don't need to worry about breaking the seal. You just need to help me control the dragon vein that's breaking free."

After a pause, Uchiha Xiang continued, "After this is over, I will give you a large sum of money, or find a place for you to rebuild Loulan City."

Gently placing the baby in her arms on the bed, the Queen of Loulan said, "I will go with you, but you must promise not to harm my people."

Queen Loulan did not believe Uchiha Xiang's words at all. She did not think that Uchiha Xiang would take the money afterward, let alone help them rebuild the ancient city of Loulan.

In her mind, once Uchiha Ei stole the Dragon Vein, the first thing he would probably do was kill people to silence them.

But given the current situation, she has no choice.

To protect her daughter and her people, she decided to sacrifice herself.

Anyway, she was already seriously ill and didn't have many days left to live.

Uchiha Elephant gave the Loulan Queen no guarantees and took her away from the caravan, disappearing into the night after a few leaps.

Chapter 202, Breaking the Dragon Vein Seal

The oasis where the Loulan survivors lived was not far from the Loulan ruins.

After several hours of trekking, Uchiha Eizo brought the Loulan Queen to the Loulan ruins.

The Queen of Loulan, returning to the ruins of Loulan once again, silently shed tears.

This is where she was born and raised, and also the hometown she abandoned.

Uchiha Eiji stood quietly to the side, not urging the sorrowful Queen of Loulan.

According to Uchiha Sō, the decline of the ancient Loulan Kingdom was no one else's fault.

As the saying goes, "possessing a treasure is a crime," the ancient Loulan Kingdom, lacking the power to control the dragon vein, naturally attracted all sorts of ambitious individuals.

A moment later, the two arrived at the place where Minato Namikaze sealed the dragon vein.

The Queen of Loulan pointed to the seal on the ground: "The seal here was personally placed by the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. If you can't break the seal, there's nothing I can do!"
