Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 138: Coveting the Dragon Vein for the Friendship between Kirigakure and Sand Village
If there is anyone in this world who is most active in searching for the tailed beasts.

It's not Madara who is determined to implement the Moon Eye Project, nor is it Nagato who makes the world feel pain, and Obito who can't hide his tears with his Kamuyance.

But it’s Black Zetsu!

In order to save his mother, Black Zetsu waited for a thousand years, and finally guided the descendants of Indra and Ashura little by little into their current appearance.

Now that he has the Rinnegan, Nagato as the carrier has also developed in the direction he expected. Next, he only needs to devour the nine tailed beasts to reproduce the power of the Ten Tails and rescue his mother.

It can be said that at this moment, Black Zetsu has everything ready except the east wind.

However, no matter how hard it searched, it couldn't find any of the remaining five tailed beasts!

"According to the information left by Madara, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails were once in the hands of Kirigakure. If we can infiltrate Kirigakure, we may be able to discover something."

"Don't I know this?" Obito looked at Zetsu as if he was an idiot. "Didn't you just say it yourself? The entire Mist Village is shrouded in a barrier. Not to mention infiltrating it, even your spores can't penetrate at all."

"…Special means may not work, but conventional means may work."

Black Zetsu suppressed his anger and kept hypnotizing himself, "Obito's Ninja Card has only 2 points. Calm down, calm down."

"Isn't Kirigakure open to the outside world? We can enter it with the official identities of Sand Village and explore the intelligence in the name of communication and cooperation for mutual benefit."

"oh?!"

Hearing this, Obito's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a good idea.

The reason why he listened to Madara and took control of the Sand Village was to facilitate his various future plans. Now is the time!

"But...who should go?"

Obito's eyes were dim.

Since the main purpose is to detect intelligence, we naturally cannot send some random people out. Mizunotsukiye is a very skilled guy. If we send ordinary people over, it would be very difficult to discover anything.

However, the available talents in the Sand Village are pitifully small at the moment, just like the Mist Village during the Blood Mist period. Such a big village is supported by a gold miner and a few old guys.

"Karuro is a good choice. She has enough status and strength, and she is very smart, but she is pregnant..."

"Wait Obito."

The silent Zetsu suddenly spoke, interrupting Obito's words.

"Ok?"

"The Kirigakure people... are outside the village..."

"what?"

……

As the first person from Kirigakure to set foot in Sand Village in the history of Sand Village, Mangetsu Kizuki, who came as an envoy, was treated with great respect. Not only did the Fourth Kazekage come in person, but Chiyo, Ebizo and other Sand Village high-level officials were also present. They even had a banquet in the most luxurious restaurant in Sand Village to entertain him.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Mangetsu Kizuki looked at the Sunagakure high-level officials in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Lord Kazekage, and everyone from the Sand Village, I am truly overwhelmed by your enthusiasm, and I cannot afford to lose face..."

"This, please have your review, Lord Kazekage and everyone from the Sand Village."

As he spoke, Mangetsu Kizuki took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

Luo Sha opened it curiously, and the content inside immediately made this ninja world's gold miner look surprised.

"Looking at the entire ninja world, the situation of Sand Village is most similar to our Kirigakure."

"We are in the vast ocean, while you are in the vast yellow sand. We are in extreme conditions that cannot be compared with Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure. In terms of population and the number of ninjas, we are inherently at a disadvantage."

"During the Third Shinobi World War, the evil Konoha caused us great trauma. For this reason, the Fourth Mizukage of our Hidden Mist Village was filled with emotion and specially asked me to come here."

"We in the Kirigakure hope to cooperate with the Sand Village in all aspects. Our fourth generation has proposed projects including building a super cross-sea bridge, a transportation base, diverting water from west to east, building rivers and reservoirs, etc., aiming to establish a friendly and harmonious alliance environment between the wind and water countries and jointly create a beautiful and harmonious world!"

"..."

Luo Sha stared blankly at Mangetsu Kizuki in front of him, and then handed the documents in his hand to Chiyo, Ebizo and other Sunagakure senior officials beside him.

The senior executives looked at it one by one, and all of them showed an expression of disbelief on their faces, and some even found it difficult to believe it.

"Lord Mizukage really wants to cooperate with us, Sunagakure?!" Chiyo's tone was full of doubt, her eyes fixed on Mangetsu Hozuki.

"of course."

Hozuki Mangetsu nodded and said with a smile: "Many of the contents in this scroll are personally stated by the Mizukage-sama, but the specific matters of cooperation still need to be discussed by both parties."

"The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water are very far apart, and cooperation between us is extremely difficult."

"That's not a problem. The power of ninjas is great. As long as both sides have the intention to cooperate, Mizukage-sama can even change a few bad ecological environments for Sand Village." Mangetsu said with a smile on his face, and paused: "Even though the climate in the Kingdom of Wind is hot, please believe in the power of our Mizukage-sama. After all, the ice sculptures in Dongsong Mountain have not melted yet."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's terrifying fighting power was known to everyone during the Third Ninja World War. Apart from anything else, the fact that Mizunoe Tsukiyomi single-handedly forced Konoha to surrender had already made history.

Fifty-one years after the founding of Konoha, it was only defeated by Mizunoe Tsukiyomi. This is enough to show how terrifying the Fourth Mizukage is!
"I read on this scroll that the Mizukage wants to build a super bridge from the Water Kingdom to the Wind Kingdom, and to construct a water transport system..." Luo Sha suddenly spoke, pointing at the contents on the scroll and asked, "I'm curious, the routes of these projects will probably pass through several countries."

"Yes."

Hozuki Mangetsu nodded: "Mizukage-sama's intention is to contact the Fire Country, from the Wave City to the Fire Country, then to the River Country, and finally to the Wind Country."

"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it will be controlled by Konoha..."

"The Fire Country has now signed a truce agreement with the Wind Country, and we, Kirigakure and Konoha, are allies. As long as Lord Kazekage nods, the success rate of these plans will be very high."

In the shadows.

Looking at the talking Manzuki Kizuki, Uchiha Obito and Jue looked at each other tacitly, with strange expressions.

The fact that Kirigakure would actually come to them on their own initiative to seek cooperation was really beyond their expectations.

After so many years of the formation of the Ninja Realm, the geographical locations of the Wind Country and the Water Country are far apart. One is located on the vast ocean, and the other is located in the barren desert. It is almost impossible for the two sides to intersect, but the Mist Village came to the door under such circumstances...

It’s tricky!
"I see that Lord Mizukage is very willing to cooperate, but the workload of these cooperation projects is huge. My Sand Village has just been defeated and paid a lot of money to Konoha. I'm afraid we are willing but unable to do so." A red light flashed in Luosha's eyes, and he suddenly spoke.

"Lord Fengying, you are joking. With your ability, the Wind Country will not be short of money."

Mangetsu Kizuki smiled and said, "You may not know that our Kirigakure's 'economic development' plan has already signed cooperation agreements with the 'Land of Fire, Land of Earth, Land of Hot Spring, Land of Iron, Land of Water Trap, Land of Demons' and other countries. If the Land of Wind can also become our Kirigakure's partner, it will be of great convenience and benefit to both of us."

It turns out it was for money!

Obito and Zetsu looked at each other again and suddenly realized.

Mizuno Yueye is a complete money-grubber, and they have already known this news a long time ago.

After becoming the Fourth Mizukage, this talented young man and war hero directly overturned the blood mist policy of the Third Mizukage, completely opened up the Hidden Mist Village, developed industry, commerce and fisheries, and continued to do business with all the large and small forces and countries in the ninja world.

This is a weird one among all the Kages in the ninja world!

However, Obito and Zetsu were happy to see this result. If Mizunoe Yoru was killing and killing all day long and devouring souls madly, then they would be worried.

Now it seems that the guy Mizuno Yueye asked Mangetsu Kizuki to travel thousands of miles to the Land of Wind, probably because he has set his sights on the gold miner Luosha!
"What are you going to do, agree or refuse?"

Zetsu looked at Obito. The current Sand Village has entered the Blood Sand Age under Obito's control.

The entire Sand Village is almost in a completely closed state. If it cooperates with the Kirigakure at this time, the current blood and sand state of the entire village will probably become uncontrollable to a certain extent.

"Why would you refuse?"

Obito snorted: "If it were someone else, it might be a bit troublesome, but the one we are cooperating with is Kirigakure."

"The Kirigakure, which has transitioned from the Blood Mist Era, has entered a period of super-fast development. So what are the thoughts of the Sand Hidden Ninjas at this stage?"

"They will think that as long as they survive the Blood and Sand Era, the entire Sand Village will also enter a period of super-fast development like the Mist Village. This cooperation that comes to their doorstep will only make the Sand Village go further and further on the road of Blood and Sand and sink deeper and deeper."

"It makes sense..."

……

"If you, Kirigakure, are really so sincere, then as the Kazekage, I certainly hope that this kind of cooperation that benefits the country and the people can be realized. However, I think we need to discuss the many details carefully, after all, this is such a huge project."

"For example, the contractors of some projects, the management rights, use rights, fees, etc. of each project..."

Hooked!
Looking at the smiling and talking Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Mangetsu grinned, "Master Kazekage is right. These things do need to be carefully considered and discussed. As the initiator of the cooperation, we, Kirigakure, naturally want to occupy a larger share in it."

"According to our fourth generation, we hope that 80% of all shares of these projects in the first ten years after implementation and completion will belong to Kirigakure. After ten years, we will split the profits 50-50..."

"what?!"

"Don't be so hasty to refuse, Master Kazekage. If you are willing to agree to this, we from Kirigakure have a great gift for you."

"A big gift?" Chiyo's face darkened, and the welcoming smile from before was completely gone.

Now that both parties have decided to cooperate and have begun discussing some of the details, they must not give in for the sake of their own interests.

I thought Kirigakure was sincere, but now they asked for 80% in ten years and only gave them 20%.

Add to that Konoha and the commissions of those small countries, and their 20% is probably just enough to break even! Then why bother cooperating? Don't worry, there are still big gifts. What big gift can be worth ten years of massive economic development in Sand Village? !

"scorpion."

A name suddenly came out of Gui Deng Man Yue's mouth, and everyone present suddenly fell silent.

"What did you say just now?" Chiyo's voice was a little broken, and she couldn't help but ask: "Can you repeat it again?"

"Scorpion, Scorpion of the Red Sand, the S-rank rebel ninja of your Sand Village."

Man Yue Hozuki spoke softly, saying words that shocked everyone present.

Uchiha Obito in the dark suddenly narrowed his eyes, and Jue's expression also became quite strange.

"During an operation, our elite troops of Kirigakure were unexpectedly attacked by Scorpion of the Red Sand and another traitorous ninja. After our desperate fight, we successfully defeated the two traitorous ninjas and captured them."

"Out of respect for the Sand Village, our Fourth-Kage has decided to hand over the handling of the Red Sand Scorpion to you, so you see..."

Chiyo clenched her hands tightly, her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, her dim eyes now sparkling with brilliance.

Ebizo held her sleeves and hands tightly, so as to prevent the wife of the first Kazekage from losing her composure in front of outsiders.

After a long time, Chiyo finally calmed down and looked at Luo Sha who was standing beside her.

In any case, the contemporary Kazekage is Rasa, and this matter concerns the future of Sunagakure, so he still needs to make the decision.

Luo Sha hesitated for a moment: "This matter...we can talk about it."

Hozuki Mangetsu smiled widely: "That's why I came here, Lord Kazekage."

……

"Take your time, don't rush..."

Ye, wearing a white mask, looked at the dilapidated and leaning tower in the yellow sand in front of him, with the corners of his mouth rising.

The biggest reason for sending Mangetsu to Sand Village, besides really wanting Kirigakure and Sand Village to cooperate, is to let Mangetsu attract the attention of Zetsu and Obito so that he can complete some special plans.

This is where we are at this moment.

Loulan!

In the ninja world, there are many terrifying energy clusters.

The Snow Country Chakra that Ye obtained was one, the witch and the monster were one, and at this moment, an extremely terrifying energy was also hidden in the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

That is the dragon vein.

The power of dragon veins is extremely strong in the world of Naruto. Its power is no less than the chakra of the Snow Country and the witch monsters that Ye currently possesses, and even greater than that.

However, this power is extremely special in the ninja world. Just like the monsters that can only be sealed by the priestess, the power of the dragon veins can only be used by the Queen of Loulan in the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

However, Ye didn't care too much about this statement.

The Queen of Loulan is only more in tune with the power of the dragon vein to a certain extent, but it is far from being able to say that she has control over it.

If there really is someone in this world who can master natural energy that is even more terrifying than the tailed beasts, I'm afraid only someone of the level of the Six Paths Sage can do it.

"That guy Namikaze Minato really has a good wife from the Uzumaki clan. His skills in sealing techniques are quite good."

Looking at the leaning towers in front of him, Ye snorted.

Even at such a close distance, he could not sense even a trace of energy emanating from the thing underground. This shows how solid the seal of the dragon vein that Minato Namikaze had made was.

Even if it is a force that he cannot control or use, he still has to cast a seal of this degree.

I really don’t know if it’s out of kindness or just to avoid any worries in the future…

Ye sneered, stepped into the ruins of Loulan, and carefully observed the situation around him.

In his perception, this area was desolate, without any signs of life. It was no different from the other yellow sand areas around it. It had obviously been abandoned for a long time.

Soon, Ye arrived at the place where Minato Namikaze sealed the dragon vein.

Dense sealing spells are spread all over the altar, and on the altar, there is a special kunai stuck in it.

With just one glance, Ye could see how strong the seal set by Minato Namikaze was.

"Based on the Four Symbols Seal, with multiple seals superimposed on it... this completely blocks the possibility of the Queen of Loulan using the power of the dragon veins!"

One Four Symbols Seal is enough to seal a tailed beast.

And according to Ye's observation, there are at least three kinds of sealing spells to seal the dragon veins, and among them there is also a sealing spell such as the contract seal!
The contract seal can sever the contractual relationship between the target and the summoned beast, so that the summoned beast is no longer controlled by the target or the target can no longer communicate with the summoned beast.

The connection between the dragon vein and the Queen of Loulan is well known. If Namikaze Minato wanted to prevent the power of the dragon vein from being spied on and coveted by those with ulterior motives, then he only needed to strengthen the seal. What does it mean to add a contract seal among these seals?
Are you worried that the Queen of Loulan will be threatened and controlled by criminals, so you want to use the Queen of Loulan to control the dragon veins?

I'm afraid it's those guys in Konoha, especially that old bastard Third Hokage, who want to completely block the huge threat of the dragon vein!
"I just don't know if you can sense it even though I've broken these seals thousands of miles away."

"However, the descendants of Queen Loulan are still in the ninja world. If the seal is moved and the contract seal is broken, I'm afraid it will... Never mind."

"Seal Release!"

Chakra filled Ye's hands, and he landed heavily on the sealing spell.

With Ye's low shout, the sealing spells on the dragon vein seal began to fade rapidly. In just a moment, most of them dissipated, but there were still a few sealing spells remaining on it.

Ye did not release all the dragon vein seals in one breath, but it was not that he could not do it. With his current foundation in sealing techniques, except for the six-level sealing techniques, other sealing techniques were almost no pressure for him.

The reason why some sealing techniques were left behind was out of caution.

The dragon veins are expressed very well in the original work. As an outstanding representative of the infinite chakra in the ninja world, the dragon veins can even cause phenomena such as time reversal and dimensional travel. No matter how careful Ye is, it is not too much.

"Om..."

As the dragon vein seal weakened, strong winds suddenly blew up between the sky and the earth, whistling and blowing up countless yellow sands.

The rubble all around was picked up by the hurricane, spinning rapidly around the altar like a tornado, trying to sweep away everything and destroy it.

The ground began to tremble.

Cracks appeared one after another and spread rapidly in all directions. In a moment, the entire ground was cracked into pieces like tortoise shells.

Violent chakra overflowed from it. Even though the surrounding environment was covered in yellow sand at this moment, such a huge energy reaction would definitely be detected.

But Ye was not panicked.

He quietly looked at the dragon vein that was about to break the seal, slowly raised his palm, and a special black crystal appeared in his palm.

"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer..."

The scene in front of him was like the end of the world, but Ye's expression was quite calm, just like a fisherman waiting for the fish to bite the hook, with great patience before the prey was hooked.

The violent energy became stronger and stronger, and even because of the surging power of the dragon veins, those seals that had not been unlocked by Ye began to gradually collapse due to the violent energy of the dragon veins.

"boom!!"

When the last few sealing techniques collapsed one by one, a breathtaking dragon roar was heard from the abyss under the altar.

And the Flying Thunder God Kunai, which was the key to sealing the dragon vein, also flew out from the altar at this moment.

A huge amount of chakra gushed out from the abyss in an instant, turning into a violent chakra column that shot straight into the sky, shining brightly in the world!

And at this moment, the dark energy crystal in Ye's hand was suddenly released.

A series of dark space blockades were released from it, and in just a moment, they enveloped the surging chakra and the entire dragon vein altar.

The blockades overlapped, and in just a few breaths, the entire dragon vein was completely swallowed up by those dark space blockades and disappeared on the spot.

Also disappearing was the figure of Mizunoe Yue.

And at this moment.

In the office of the Hokage of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, Namikaze Minato, who was correcting documents, suddenly frowned and looked towards the direction of the Land of Wind with a serious expression.

It is located in the Kingdom of Wind, in a village not far from the ruins of Loulan.

A graceful woman was holding a baby in her arms, humming a ballad and coaxing the baby to sleep.

Suddenly, the woman's song stopped abruptly, and her hands paused. She stood up abruptly and looked at the sealed place of the dragon vein in disbelief.

The baby, without comfort, burst into tears, and a stranger who heard the noise broke in.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

There was a hint of shock and fear in the eyes of the Queen of Loulan, but more of it was disbelief and confusion.

"I feel the power of the dragon vein."

"But only for a moment..."

The Queen of Loulan looked at the ruins of Loulan and said in a serious tone: "It just disappeared!"
