The sticky bloodstains on his body began to peel off with the sand, eventually gathering into a dark red ball of sand, which he casually tossed into the nearby fire.

The flames engulfed the blood sand, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.

"Alright, the troublemakers are gone, time to get to work."

Qingye muttered to himself, his hands forming a mudra.

Shadow Clone Technique.

Bang!

Another "Green Leaf" appeared nearby, walked straight to the still-burning campfire, and added a few dry branches to it.

With a stomp of his foot, a sand cushion lifted his body into the air, sending him flying towards the northwest.

The D13 area is located at the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Winds, and is not far from the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

At full speed, in less than half an hour, the familiar ruins came into view.

This place has long been abandoned, with broken walls and ruins appearing and disappearing in the wind and sand, and the wind howling through the empty window frames.

Qingye waved his hand, and the yellow sand surged, suddenly revealing a cave entrance.

That's the entrance to the underground space.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qingye crawled inside.

The once bustling city of a hundred towers in the underground space has become a dead zone. Its former prosperity is long gone, and collapsed towers are everywhere.

However, Aoba was clearly not there for sightseeing or to reminisce.

He controlled the sand mat and swiftly moved down the spiraling stone steps, soon arriving at the underground courtyard deep beneath the earth.

At the center is a huge sealed altar.

Green leaves fell at the center of what was once an altar.

The place remains exactly as it was after the mission ended, with broken stone pillars leaning against the yellow sand, and the air still seems to retain the atmosphere of the battle.

Aoba walked to the center of the altar and squatted down, placing his palm on the hemisphere.

Chakra slowly flowed into his palm.

Countless dense lines of runes appeared before my eyes; these were the seals that Minato had set up back then.

Aoba took off his sunglasses, his pupils flashing blue light, and a large blue data stream instantly lit up his field of vision.

[High-density chakra source detected]

[Seal technique analysis in progress...]

[Assisted calculation enabled]

The chip's prompts kept flashing in my mind.

Aoba took a deep breath, took out a specially made soldier's ration pill, and put it in his mouth.

"Open up all computing power and simulate the seal opening scheme. The goal is to open up tributary channels without destroying the overall structure."

[Simulation initiated... First plan failed; energy overflow rate too high, potentially causing seal collapse.]

[Option 2...failed, with a projected 98% probability of causing the dragon vein to go berserk.]

[Third approach: Reverse deconstruction, failed. The sealing technique's structure is now irreversible.]

【…】

[Simulation 155 begins...Logic loop achieved, stability estimate: 56.2%.]

……

Time passed second by second.

Aoba remained kneeling on one knee, sweat trickling down her cheeks and dripping onto the dry stone slab.

[Solution 156: Node-based flow splitting. Simulation successful. Chakra leakage rate: 0.01%.]

It became.

However, to be on the safe side, Aoba simulated the 156th plan more than ten times before finally settling on it.

Aoba opened her eyes and took out specially made ink and a pen.

The pen tip flew across the ground around the sealed sphere, outlining complex runes.

The final stroke was made.

He began to form hand seals.

"Sealing Technique: Earth Seal!"

Click.

A slight tremor came from the ground, and the originally tightly sealed hemispherical base slowly opened to both sides.

A violent purple chakra overflowed from the crack, causing Qingye's robes to flutter wildly.

Qingye bit her index finger, drawing a bloody line on her palm.

"Spiritual communication techniques."

Bang.

A huge plume of smoke exploded.

A giant lizard, over nine meters long and two meters tall, covered in crimson scales, appeared in the room.

Its enormous size almost occupies the entire platform.

Its pupils had an eerie dark gold color, and it held a thick scroll of contracts horizontally in its mouth.

"Red Lizard, give me the stuff."

The red lizard opened its mouth, curled its tongue, and handed the scroll to Aoba.

Aoba took the scroll, aimed at the crack, and inserted one end of the scroll directly into it.

hum!

The dragon vein chakra seemed to have found an outlet, surging wildly into the scroll.

"That's enough, Lord Aoba!"

The blue lizard emerged from Qingye's collar, its voice trembling uncontrollably.

It watched the purple energy continuously pouring into the scroll, its body trembling slightly with excitement.

With this energy, the people of the Blue Marshland will be able to fully recover.

[Common Pact]

This is a racial characteristic of the lizard race in the Swamp Lands, much like the splitting of the Shikkotsu Forest slug and the molting of the Ryuchi Cave snake.

[Common Contract] allows the contractor to freely transfer chakra between themselves and any lizard.

This is also why the lizards of the Blue Swamp can survive even after being severely injured and falling into a deep sleep.

However, it is precisely because of this characteristic that a massive amount of chakra is needed to successfully revive the entire lizard race.

Aoba had calculated before that unless he had the Nine-Tails' or Hashirama's chakra, with his current chakra reserves, he might not be able to awaken the entire Lizard Clan even if he were drained until he died of old age.

Aoba wiped the sweat from her forehead, a wave of weakness washing over her.

That last move almost exhausted 80% of his chakra.

He turned to look at the huge red lizard.

"Red Lizard, you stay here and guard this position. Don't let anyone get close."

The red lizard raised its head and let out a low hiss.

It climbed to the middle of the altar, coiled its body into a circle, and completely blocked most of the altar.

Immediately afterwards, the color of the red lizard's skin began to change.

The original bright red gradually faded, turning into a grayish-brown that perfectly matched the surrounding stone.

Its skin texture also became rough, and even several weathered cracks appeared.

In no time, the red lizard turned into a huge, lifeless rock, merging with the entire altar.

Qingye reached out and touched it, barely able to tell if it was real or fake.

"very good."

Aoba nodded in satisfaction.

With this super-powerful power source, the biggest problem in the Cangnumachi reconstruction project has been solved.

As for the rest, things that can be solved with money are no big deal.

He stood up and dusted off his knees.

Step onto the sand mat again and return along the same path.

When we returned to the D13 outpost, the moon was already high in the sky.

The wasteland was deathly silent.

The shadow clone was sitting by the fire, poking at the ashes with a wooden stick in his hand.

Qingye landed, dispelling the shadow clone.

A tedious memory of keeping watch flooded my mind.

Aoba guessed that Uchiha Itachi wouldn't be coming back tonight, and that he was probably being interrogated and questioned right now.

Hey~

poor child.

How can the naive Uchiha open his eyes without experiencing the harsh realities of society?

Aoba said it was all for his own good, and then crawled into the tent.
