Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

What is a dragon vein?

Karin asked with a curious look, "Do dragons really exist in the ninja world?"

"Dragon veins are the lifeblood of the earth; simply put, they are the accumulation of chakra."

Oil Girl Zhihui answered casually.

Suddenly, a thought struck him.

Kakashi Hatake had previously discussed with him how to increase chakra.

This dragon vein might work.

As for chakra, it's of little use to Shiki Aburame unless it's natural energy.

Logically speaking, dragon veins should be places where natural energy converges.

However, in the original work, its explanation does indeed contain a large amount of chakra.

But thinking about it carefully, if it were natural energy, how could Centipede possibly utilize it?

To find out the specifics, you'll have to see for yourself.

"Isn't that just like a tailed beast?"

Karin suddenly became excited and asked, "So our mission is to bring back the Dragon Vein? It seems it's time for my sealing techniques to come in handy again!"

Kakashi Hatake let out a soft "Eh."

This method sounds quite feasible.

However, the dragon vein is not a tailed beast, and sealing it rashly would be very risky.

"According to the Hokage's investigation, a rogue ninja named Centipede has recently set his sights on the Dragon Vein."

Kakashi Hatake closed the scroll and said, "Let's find him first."

"It's been found, just now."

"It's oil-loving Zhihui," he said with a smile.

So fast?

Kakashi Hatake glanced at him instinctively.

"It was information given to me by Kaara."

Aburame Shiki opened a map and said, "After Centipede defected from Sunagakure, he has been living near the ruins of Loulan."

"I see."

Kakashi Hatake quickly understood the cause and effect, and said with admiration, "As expected of the Hokage."

It all connects.

So, in order to complete the centipede mission, Gaara was made Kazekage?

No, it's more like a scheme to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"Get ready, we'll be departing in fifteen minutes."

Kakashi Hatake stopped daydreaming and continued speaking.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The four of them were fully armed, especially wearing windproof and sandproof coats, and headed to the Loulan ruins following the map.

"right here."

Kakashi Hatake looked at the ruins before him and nodded firmly.

Amidst a sea of ​​yellow sand, a haphazard array of white buildings is scattered about.

They are thin and long overall, and have a metallic sheen and a mechanical feel.

"Fragrant phosphorus."

Oil Girl Zhihui looked around and saw nothing but desert, let alone centipedes.

Kagura's Mind's Eye!

Karin and Shiki have developed a tacit understanding.

She simply closed her eyes.

Perception expanded.

The situation over dozens of kilometers was laid out before us.

"Beneath the Loulan ruins, there is a powerful chakra reaction; it should be the dragon vein, if I'm not mistaken."

Karin spoke up, "The dragon vein is drawn in but not released; it is a seal."

"That's what the teacher left behind."

Kakashi Hatake said with some emotion.

Things are different and people are different.

Returning to the Dragon Vein, the once spirited Minato Namikaze is no more.

pity.

Naruto Uzumaki did not come.

But then I thought, it's probably better if he doesn't come.

It serves no purpose other than to add to the sorrow.

Have you found a centipede?

Aburame Shiki looked at Karin and asked.

"No."

Karin shook her head and said hesitantly, "He might be near the Dragon Vein. There's too much chakra there, which interfered with my senses."

Yu Nu Zhihui seemed to be deep in thought.

In the original work, the new Class 7 discovered the centipede underground in the Loulan ruins.

He was setting up the spell at that time.

Although he couldn't break Minato Namikaze's seal, he tried a different approach, attempting to absorb it directly.

As a result, the dragon vein was released, and they were drawn into it, returning to the past.

"Let's go down."

Kakashi Hatake sighed and said, "Although I've forgotten what happened in Loulan back then, I still remember the location of the seal my teacher left."

He walked toward the ruins of Loulan.

"so quiet."

Uchiha Sasuke frowned slightly.

"It's the influence of the dragon vein."

Kakashi Hatake explained, "Although the dragon vein was sealed, its leaked aura drove away all life in the vicinity."

Before long, the four of them arrived at the center of the Loulan ruins.

“Go down from there.”

Kakashi Hatake surveyed his surroundings and quickly located an underground passage.

He was the first to jump.

Like the buildings above, the underground passage is made of a metallic material.

Led by Kakashi Hatake, the group successfully arrived at the place where Minato Namikaze was sealed.

This was a huge underground hall, surrounded by dark passageways that seemed to stretch endlessly. In the center stood a stone platform.

Four statues stood on the stone platform, surrounding the seal of Minato Namikaze.

An object resembling an eyeball was stuck in it with a Flying Thunder God kunai.

"The spells on the ground were not left by the teacher."

Kakashi Hatake's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said, "Moreover, it seems that it is not finished, but only a half-finished product."

"It has centipedes."

"Oil Girl Zhihui glanced at it and said."

Karin ran to the seal of Minato Namikaze.

Because she saw a familiar technique.

This is a sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan.

"Amazing!"

Karin observed for a moment and exclaimed in amazement, "It's unbelievable that an outsider has mastered the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques to this extent!"

Theoretically, all members of the Uzumaki clan can learn the sealing techniques, but only members of the Uzumaki clan can truly master their essence.

However, the level of skill that Minato Namikaze displayed in his sealing technique was truly terrifying.

Moreover, this is not a single sealing technique, but a composite sealing technique, which perfectly integrates multiple sealing techniques.

"That's the Fourth Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake said with a proud look, "Few can match his talent."

"Where did he learn that?"

Karin asked curiously.

If someone, like them, learns ninjutsu through self-study using ninjutsu scrolls, then their talent is truly terrifying.

"His wife is named Kushina Uzumaki, and she is a ninja from the Uzumaki clan."

Kakashi Hatake knew that Karin had just joined Konoha and didn't know Minato Namikaze, so he explained.

"Eh?"
