Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 127 Dragon Vein

The tallest building in the center of Loulan.

In the imperial court, the Queen of Loulan looked slightly tired and rubbed her temples.

Unlike most monarchs who only knew how to seek pleasure, she was very diligent in her duties and personally attended to every matter. Although she was a woman, the people of Loulan lived very prosperous lives under her rule.

After a day of court proceedings, she returned to her room, dismissed the servants, and prepared to rest.

Upon entering the room, she saw a woman dressed in a kimono, looking alluring, sitting in a chair. She saw the Queen of Loulan and smiled knowingly.

The Queen of Loulan was not surprised to see this woman there. On the contrary, she calmly walked over to her and started chatting: "Scorpion, how is the development of puppet weapons using the dragon veins going?"

"Initial progress has been made," the venomous snake reported.

The Queen of Loulan nodded: "That's good."

Born in hardship, die in comfort.

Beneath Loulan lies a vast chakra known as the Dragon Vein. It is because of the existence of this power that the land of Loulan has a completely different environment from the surrounding desert.

The Loulan Kingdom was established in this way, and its people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. With such a force existing, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be coveted by outsiders one day.

As long as the dragon vein exists, Loulan exists; if the dragon vein disappears, Loulan disappears. To avoid that day from coming, she naturally has to prepare for the worst.

And this venomous woman, who was wanted by the Land of Wind, undoubtedly became the best partner.

She offered protection to the serpent, and in return, the serpent helped her use the dragon veins to create a puppet army, and the two sides hit it off immediately.

She didn't want to conquer the world; she simply wanted the power to protect herself.

After chatting for a while, the serpent left the room and went to the very bottom of the building.

Beneath lies the very foundation of this nation, its very dragon vein.

Feeling the immense chakra below, the serpent's gaze burned intensely.

With the help of the Queen of Loulan, she is now able to make some use of the power of the dragon vein for herself.

Once she has fully utilized the Loulan Queen, she will replace her and then use her as a center to slowly expand, eventually killing all the daimyo of the Wind Kingdom and turning them into lamppost ornaments.

The Sand Village comrades are really too stupid. Anyone with eyes can see that the Land of Wind is wary of the village's high combat strength and is cutting military spending to suppress the village's power.

A bunch of useless trash who might not even have chakra. They don't even think about who's to blame for allowing them to sit in those positions unscathed.

Since these daimyo are so blind, then don't blame her for using the power of the dragon vein to overthrow the regime of the Land of Wind.

Just as she was contemplating this future, she suddenly sensed something amiss around her. She raised an eyebrow, turned around, and flung out several shuriken.

With a series of metallic clanging sounds, the shuriken fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Who goes there!"

Snake and Scorpion looked in the direction of the sound and saw several strangers dressed as ninjas.

Snake and Scorpion exclaimed in surprise, "Konoha ninja?"

"Surrender..."

Sato used his persuasive skills.

However, he was not an Asura reincarnation after all, and did not have the mouth of the Devas, so the effect was not good, and instead it angered his opponent.

The scorpion forms a hand seal with its hands in a cross shape, which is the standard hand seal posture for the Shadow Clone Technique.

With a loud bang, the white smoke dissipated, and several shadow clones that looked exactly like her were summoned.

Her actions were far from over. She quickly took out several scrolls, unrolled them, and summoned the puppets sealed inside.

Several identical snakes and scorpions spread their five fingers, and blue chakra threads shot out from their fingertips, connecting with the puppets and assuming a fighting stance.

"What a formidable opponent..."

Aokiji looked at the woman in front of him, one puppet in each hand, with each shadow clone controlling two puppets on average, and felt a headache coming on.

The puppeteer's strength largely comes from the puppets, so as long as these shadow clones don't go up there and get themselves killed, they can probably maximize the power of the main body.

The puppets, baring their fangs and claws, flew towards us with a creaking sound that sent chills down our spines.

In order to increase the power of their puppets, some puppeteers would coat the puppets' weapons with deadly poison, so that even a slight cut would cause immediate poisoning.

Faced with this scene, Aokiji dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly formed hand seals, drew his sword from its sheath, and poured cold energy into the sword. Soon, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a layer of ice covered the sword, and even the originally smooth back of the sword grew out of neat rows of ice teeth.

Ice Release: Shark Tooth

As weapons clashed, Aokiji dodged the incoming blades and, without lingering in battle, aggressively retreated to Tsunade's side.

With a "whoosh," a flash of white light appeared, the blade gleamed, and a knife sliced ​​through the air.

This time, Aokiji did not dodge. He gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and met the blade head-on. However, this time he used the back of the sword, not the blade.

Tsunade, who was beside her, bent down and dodged the attack while simultaneously throwing a punch to her ribs.

Seeing this, the snake quickly moved its knuckles to move the puppet. At this distance, it should theoretically be able to dodge.

However, to her utter surprise, the puppet suddenly became thwarted and unable to move. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the back of the sword in the little devil's hand had suddenly narrowed, jamming the weapon in the puppet's hand, preventing the puppet from freeing itself in time.

Tsunade seized the opportunity and punched the puppet.

With a "boom," it literally exploded, scattering parts all over the ground.

Seeing his beloved puppet so easily destroyed, the serpent frowned.

However, that's not the most troublesome thing. This ice-style ninja can also freeze the chakra threads with ice-style chakra, rendering the puppet unable to move.

Although she has the power of the dragon vein to support her, even a fierce tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves. If this continues, she will surely be defeated.

She set her sights on Aokiji and Tsunade, the two weakest ninjas among the four.

I have to choose one of two options: kill this brat first to relieve the pressure. It's not that Aokiji is weaker than Tsunade, but his abilities are more troublesome.

With that in mind, she changed her target without hesitation.

When Aokiji saw the boss rushing towards him, all the pressure suddenly fell on him. Without using his Sharingan, the opponent's taijutsu was far superior to his own, and he was also at a disadvantage due to his age. Under these circumstances, he was no match for the opponent at all.

Aokiji fought and retreated, and it seemed he was about to be overwhelmed.

The snake and scorpion stretched out their bodies and sped away. As they ran, the loose kimono suddenly began to wriggle, as if something was coming out.

"Is it finally coming?"

Aokiji narrowed his eyes, holding his breath and composed himself.

Based on the information we have, this woman still has one secret technique she hasn't used yet, and it seems she's finally about to reveal it.

In an instant, several dark figures darted out from the snake's upper garment, and the loose kimono slipped down the shoulders, revealing the secrets beneath.

The exposed skin is covered with numerous tattoos, all of which can detach from the body and become physical attacks, giving it a somewhat similar feel to Secretary Super Fake Beast Painting.

There was a small problem at the moment, so much so that Aokiji's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Hey, why don't you put on some clothes?

Even wearing a strapless top would be fine.

And that thing is huge...

Only now did Aokiji realize that the other person seemed to be wearing nothing underneath their kimono.

In a daze, I suddenly heard someone, consumed by jealousy, yell, "You idiot, what are you looking at?"

Aokiji jolted and narrowly escaped the snake's bite at the last second.

"That was close, that was close, I almost got hit."

Having dodged the attack, Aokiji clutched his chest, still shaken.

He suddenly understood why she wasn't wearing any clothes under her kimono.

Normally, anyone who saw this scene would be stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he was a gentleman. If it were Jiraiya, he would have already died here.

Before he could rejoice too soon, Aokiji frowned and looked down, only to discover two holes on his calf that were bleeding, as if he had been bitten by a snake.

Aokiji's wide eyes seemed to be saying that he had clearly dodged everything, so how did he get hit?

"Hey kid, you're focusing too much on my upper body and neglecting my lower body."

The venomous woman gently touched her chest, her red lips curving into a bewitching smile.

"What...?"

As if showing off, the viper lifted her skirt, revealing her fair and plump thighs. A small snake was slowly crawling up her thighs, finally disappearing without a trace into the inner thigh.

Aokiji was stunned for a moment, then slowly realized what was happening, his face turning ashen.

Considering that this woman wasn't wearing anything on top, she was probably wearing something on the bottom too. In other words, the snake probably came from somewhere.

I'm here

First, use the naked upper body to seduce the enemy, and while the enemy's attention is focused on the upper body, use the lower body, which is secretly watching, to use dirty tricks.

This tactic is so dirty.

(P.S.: I'm not writing about this ninjutsu because I'm being vulgar; it's based on a real technique, and I'm just using it as a reference.)

"Hmph, one's done, now it's time for the next one."

The serpent chuckled coquettishly, her gaze shifting, but before she could find her next target, a short dagger crackling with lightning pierced her chest.

For a moment, her eyes bulged like goldfish, her neck stiffened as she looked at the white-haired boy behind her with an expression of disbelief.

As her main body was severely injured, her shadow clone also disappeared.

You've underestimated my abilities.

White Fang's gaze was like that of an eagle, his sharp eyes showing none of his usual gentle expression.

The scorpion coughed up a mouthful of blood, its face deathly pale. It roared, broke free from the dagger, staggered a few steps, then turned around, mysterious purple patterns appearing on its face: "Come with me and be submerged under the power of the dragon vein."

Before the words were finished, an immense amount of chakra suddenly erupted from below, deep purple in color, rapidly expanding outwards from the serpent scorpion's center, destroying everything in its path and engulfing all who touched it.

Sensing something was wrong, everyone quickly retreated.

Aokiji had only run a few steps when he suddenly opened his eyes wide, collapsed to the ground, and turned ashen-faced. He must have been bitten by a snake and was now suffering from the poison.

Damn it, of all times, it had to happen at this time...
