Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Otherwise, dealing with government affairs every day would really take a toll on my health.

Of the second-generation filmmakers of his generation, three died and one retired, leaving only him struggling to keep going.

While other villages were governed by the Third and Fourth Hokage, Sunagakure remained under the Second Hokage.

"Hehe, I never thought I'd survive this long."

Shamon couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. In terms of overall village strength, Sunagakure was undoubtedly the weakest of the five great villages.

But the fact that he survived both World War I and World War II shows that he was quite capable.

The reason is very simple, it can be summed up in just seven words.

Those who understand the times are wise!

Those who don't know how to assess the situation are already buried with grass three meters high.

The villages that attacked Konoha suffered particularly heavy losses.

The most pitiful village was Kumogakure, where all the strongmen were killed by Konoha.

It was in a state of complete population decline.

If Sunagakure and Kumogakure were to actually fight, Sunagakure would likely have a better chance of winning.

"Under my leadership, the village is thriving!" A smile appeared on Shamen's face.

He'll retire in a while, and the younger generation in the village will take over, then his mission will be complete.

Just then, a ninja from Sunagakure rushed into the office looking anxious.

"Lord Kazekage, something terrible has happened! The Third Hokage and the Konoha Poison Master have entered the village!"

Shamen: "???"

Chapter 520 Loulan

"What?! Konoha has come knocking on our door?!"

Shamon never imagined that the Hokage would bring a poison master to Sunagakure.

He seems to have avoided provoking Konoha lately. What could have happened?!

But he quickly calmed down. Since he hadn't provoked Konoha, and the Third Hokage wasn't an unreasonable person.

There must be some misunderstanding here!

So Shamon immediately had the Sand Village ninja bring the person to his office, so he could ask them any questions face-to-face.

Soon, Danzo and Renya arrived at the office.

"The Third Hokage and the Konoha Poison Master have arrived; I am so sorry for not welcoming them properly!"

The monk immediately stood up and said politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Danzo revealed the purpose of his trip.

"Fengying, do you know the exact location of Loulan?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Shamon's eyes, which Danzo noticed.

"Hokage, what do you want from Loulan?"

Other villages may not know the power of the dragon vein, but he, as the Wind Shadow, certainly does.

Although the dragon vein is very powerful, it is completely uncontrollable and is at risk of going out of control and going berserk at any time.

He couldn't help but worry that Danzo and Renya wanted to seize the power of the Dragon Vein.

If any real danger arises, his reputation as the Wind Guardian will surely be ruined in his later years.

Whether the Hokage successfully controls the Dragon Vein or is killed by its powerful force.

He's doomed!

"I've heard that Loulan has beautiful scenery, and I'd like to go and see it for myself."

Before Danzo could speak, Renya spoke first.

Shamen: "..."

This guy really thinks he's an idiot!

To come up with such a lame excuse is to rub his IQ into the ground!

But forced by Lian Ye's formidable strength, he could only pretend to suddenly realize something.

"I see!"

There's no way around it; this guy could even kill Madara Uchiha, so his strength has long surpassed the realm of humans.

If you anger someone, they won't even know how they died.

I finally made it to the point of retirement, and then this happened.

"So, can you tell me the exact location now?"

Lian Ye tapped the table lightly with her hand, her words carrying no attempt to conceal the threat.

Shamen: "..."

Ultimately, under someone's coercion and enticement, Shamen truthfully revealed the location of Loulan.

Hmm, actually there was no bribery, it was all coercion.

They even meticulously drew a map for them, fearing that the two might get lost in the desert.

After seeing off the two troublesome guys, Shamen sat down in his chair and let out a long sigh.

"Hopefully they won't cause too much of a commotion."

The dragon vein is powerful but unstable, and is prone to going out of control and going berserk.

Fortunately, the queens of Loulan have passed down the seal for sealing the dragon vein for generations, and there has never been a situation where the dragon vein completely goes berserk.

He felt that with the sealing technique in place, the two of them should be safe.

Otherwise, if Danzo and Renya were to be in real danger, Sunagakure would not be able to withstand Konoha's wrath.

Three days later, in the desolate desert, two small black dots appeared from afar.

"Lianye, are you sure we haven't taken the wrong road?"

Danzo Shimura wiped the sweat from his brow, having asked Renya this question countless times.

He always felt that this guy hadn't learned how to read a map.

If they get lost in this environment, they'll have wasted three days of suffering in the desert.

"That's right, you have to believe me!"

Lianye looked at the abstract map drawn by Shamen and said with a serious expression.

Danzo doesn't trust himself at all; he's already learned how to read maps, okay?

Even if the map drawn by the monks is somewhat abstract, and the environment in the desert is not very distinctive.

But he remains confident that he will find a way to prove his abilities.

Looking at Renya's confident demeanor and then at the desolate desert, Shimura Danzo sighed silently.

I hope this guy isn't lying to me, otherwise I definitely won't let him off the hook!

"Let me see where we are."

Lian Ye stopped, holding the map and looking around at the scenery, muttering to herself, "This shouldn't be happening?", "This seems to be the place?", "Brother, don't be discouraged, trust my judgment!" and other such words.

It sounds like I'm just trying to comfort myself.

Danzo Shimura: "..."

Sure enough, his decision to travel with Lian Ye was a mistake, and letting Lian Ye carry the map was an even bigger mistake!

Just as he was about to snatch the map, Lian Ye said happily.

"I've found the way, it's right ahead!"

As he spoke, he ran ahead with great enthusiasm.

I don't know if they've actually found the way, or if they're worried their friends will steal the map...

Watching Renya's departing figure, Shimura Danzo could only silently follow, feeling as if he had returned to the time when they were young and carried out missions together.

If we wait a while longer and still haven't found the location of Loulan...

He's about to snatch the map!

Fortunately, after running around with Lianye for half a day, we finally saw the shadow of a town in the distance.

"Found it! That's Loulan!"

Lian Ye pointed to the city in the distance and said with a smug look on her face.

"I told you I hadn't misread the map, but you just wouldn't believe me..."

Danzo Shimura did not refute this, which suggests that he had indeed misunderstood his friend.

There was nothing they could do; the fact that Lian Ye had led them astray had become a lingering psychological trauma.

I was afraid he would lead me astray again, thus wasting three days.

The two headed towards the location of Loulan.

At this time, Loulan was a town full of exotic charm. Towering spiral towers stood everywhere, and pipes and waterwheels powered by chakra were scattered throughout the city, humming softly.

In the heart of town, a magnificent tower pierces the sky, its top radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

That is the source of the dragon vein.

"Lian Ye, can the Dragon Vein really allow us to travel through time and space?"

Shimura Danzo stared at the distant tower and asked incredulously.

On the way, Lianye told him the purpose of this trip...

They are not simply tourists, but rather achieving cross-time and space tourism.

To be honest, he was shocked by his friend's idea and felt that it was somewhat impractical.

But seeing Lianye envisioning the future, he didn't say anything.

He believed that Lian Ye could definitely do it!

"In theory, it is entirely feasible, but the time period of travel is completely random; it could be the past or the future."

Lian Ye did not choose to hide anything and told everything she knew.

Danzo Shimura couldn't help but feel a sense of longing; time travel was truly amazing.

If he could travel to the future, he would definitely want to see how the village has developed.

Did it grow stronger? Did the later Hokage manage the village well?

"Alright, let's go pay our respects to the Queen of Loulan first."

Renya's words stopped Danzo from fantasizing, and the two of them sneaked into the town of Loulan together.

The dragon vein has always been sealed and protected by the Queen's lineage, so he naturally needs to give prior notice if he wants to borrow its power.

Chapter 521 Danzo's Promise

The top of the central tower of Loulan, soaring into the clouds.

Inside the Queen's palace.

Sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Queen Loulan sat on her throne, frowning as she looked at the two uninvited guests who had been brought in by her guards.

Naturally, it was Shimura Danzo and Renya who infiltrated Loulan.

"Ninjas from Konoha." The Queen of Loulan's voice was calm, with a hint of barely perceptible wariness. "What brings you from so far?"

She never expected that the Konoha ninjas from the Land of Fire would appear in the territory of Loulan. Who leaked the location?
