Madara, let's change the world together!

Although the teacher appeared lonely and isolated, everyone around him respected him greatly.

Is it because teachers always have a stern face that I don't have many friends?

How about we give the teacher a gift before we return to Konoha?

"What are you thinking?"

"Hurry up and keep eating!"

Ban's voice was low and calm, but it had an indescribable terror about it.

Mikoto pitifully picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth to chew.

There's definitely a reason why the teacher is all alone.

Sister Hui, can I really help you?

Gen Kiyoi is vacationing in Konoha, Madara is teaching Mikoto at Hatsuhi Castle, and Megumi Kiyoi continues to handle her work.

That very afternoon, she received Lei Yumen's report.

Within the Land of Wind, amidst the endless yellow sands, Lei Yumen led three carriages and more than twenty people toward the distance.

He raised his right hand, and the Starlink connected with Kiyoi Megumi's spirit.

[Sister Hui, I've spotted the target location.]

[Thank you for your hard work. This time, you have full authority to make the decisions. The focus should be on observation and research, and the results should be reported later.]

【Yes! 】

Lei Yumen hung up the call.

He squinted as he watched the sandstorm suddenly expand ahead.

"Contract into formation."

“Use Earth Release ninjutsu to build sand-proof fortresses.”

"Yes!" x4

Four Jonin from the War Hall ran out of the group, simultaneously forming hand seals and then slamming their hands on the ground.

Earth Release: Protective Fortress!

A solid rock wall rose from beneath the yellow sand, eventually forming a semi-circular canopy that protected the entire team.

At the same time, many chakra orbs lit up inside the fortress, illuminating the area.

This is the fourth sandstorm we've encountered.

Outside, howling winds lashed against the rock walls, and even if they caused damage, the chakra would repair it in time.

With such frequent and fierce sandstorms, it's no wonder that the people of the Wind Kingdom speak vaguely about this place.

All I know is that there is a small country deep in this desert called Loulan.

Suddenly, a patch of shadow appeared on the ground, and a purple-haired, large-breasted loli jumped out from it.

"Rayokōmon, you've finally arrived."

Aino's shadow clone, who was working tirelessly, angrily patted the dust off her cheongsam.

"I've been waiting for you for so long, my clothes are all messed up."

"Feel sorry."

Rai Mikado maintained his calm expression.

However, given his outstanding looks, this is just a normal tactic employed by a cool and aloof male god.

"I was just saying."

Aino wasn't interested in chatting with Raimikado either.

The main problem is that this person is usually quiet, but when they encounter something they're interested in, they become incredibly talkative, which is hard to keep up with.

She didn't like either of them.

Yuan is the best; no matter what he says, it always sounds nice.

"I have investigated and found out."

"That small kingdom of Loulan is not far from here."

“There is indeed an extremely special chakra underground here, which the Queen of Loulan called the ‘Dragon Vein’.”

"Even with my perception, I couldn't figure out how this chakra was generated."

"I can't get close to the underground source either."

Aino recounted her discoveries here.

If Yuan hadn't asked her to, she wouldn't have come to such a terrible place.

However, as a shadow clone, she doesn't seem to have the right to refuse.

hateful!

I hate it!

Why can the entity always stay with the source?

Lei Yumen nodded.

"I understand. The subsequent investigation will be taken over by the scientific expedition team."

The three carriages following behind carried the researchers.

Chapter 167 The Ancient Kingdom of Loulan

Loulan, a small country existing only in the rumors of the Land of Wind.

This small country is said to exist in the heart of a sandstorm, built on an oasis. The country has a small population, but the people live happily.

The queens of this small country seem to be guarding something, lingering near this oasis.

These are the rumors that the caravans of Sunrise City have investigated.

Originally, this was just a minor matter, and the caravan members didn't intend to report it. However, Kiyoshi specifically instructed them to investigate this place.

Therefore, once the exact location was determined, Lei Yumen led the research team from the Research Institute to Loulan.

Meanwhile, Aino's shadow clone went ahead to Loulan as an investigator.

"Okay, I've told you everything I know."

Aino's shadow clone slowly merged into the ground.

"I need to continue investigating other places."

"I'm leaving."

Raimon watched as Aino disappeared into the ground, his ripples passing through the rock wall to sense the outside environment.

The sandstorm outside is still raging and shows no signs of stopping.

"Take turns maintaining the fortress's defenses; we'll spend the night here."

"Yes!"

The twelve members of the War Hall in the team voluntarily began to take turns in three shifts.

The four support staff also sprang into action.

They took out the ingredients and cooking utensils from the sealed scroll and began preparing dinner.

Using fire and water techniques to assist in cooking allows you to prepare meals that replenish your energy more quickly.

Everyone in the team has cultivated the [Flowing Technique Seal] and [Heaven and Earth Furnace].

Therefore, there is no need to worry about their chakra reserves.

Everything went smoothly, and the sandstorm didn't dissipate until the early hours of the next day.

When the rock wall fortress was opened, everyone saw a desert whose terrain had changed.

The sandstorms here are incredibly powerful.

'It's about thirteen li away.'

Lei Yumen estimated the distance.

Fortunately, he already had a precise map and directions.

All that's left is to get to Loulan as quickly as possible.

Loulan's scenery is completely different from the surrounding endless yellow sand.

The center is a large oasis, with houses scattered in its corners.

The small kingdom of Loulan consisted of only a few thousand people.

One afternoon, many people gathered around the ten-meter-high tower, which is rich in local cultural features.

At the top of the tower, a beautiful woman with short black hair is looking down at her surroundings and observing her people.

She is the current queen of Loulan, named Sasha, and her daughter, who is only eight years old, is named Sara.

P.S.: I just picked the name Sasha randomly.

"Lady Sasha!"

Below the pavilion, the people of Loulan enthusiastically called out the queen's name.

Behind the small pavilion, a girl secretly watched her mother's back.

Red strands of hair fluttered gently.

My mother is so handsome and beautiful

Sooner or later, she will become an excellent queen like her mother.

After the weekly service ended, Sasha went back to her room, and little Sarah rushed over and hugged her mother's waist.
