Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

The moon stopped, ignoring the stares of passersby, turned around, and crouched down, its gaze level with the light.

"Listen, light."

The moon's smile vanished.

“Sarah is my subordinate and ally, while you are the family that Grandma Chiri entrusted to me. I don’t need you to do anything for me. I just hope that you can be happy, just like Grandma Chiri did for us.”

Yue stretched out her finger and gently touched the bright seal between Guang's eyebrows.

"In this unfamiliar era, you are the only one like me, someone who crawled out of that hell. Without you, I might also be lost in this world. We are family."

"We are family..."

Guang murmured the word repeatedly. She didn't quite understand its meaning, but she just felt very happy inside.

"Yes, so stop thinking about those unnecessary things."

Yue stood up and looked into the distance.

The gaze passed through the towering towers and sandstorms of Loulan, heading towards the distant Sand Shadow Village.

There, an unseen storm was beginning to gather in the sky.

"As for your claim that all you know how to do is kill..."

A cold smile curved Yue's lips, and a chilling red light flashed in her deep left eye, which had been nourished by Ming's seal.

"Don't worry, it'll be your turn to perform soon."

Chapter 32 Luo Sha Wants to Establish His Authority

In the heart of the Land of Wind, lies the Red Rock Canyon.

This is the confluence of several underground water veins within the Land of Wind, and it is also the most important strategic buffer zone besides Sunagakure.

Normally, this place is inhabited by several wandering ninja clans that are not under the jurisdiction of the daimyo, large caravans, and local tyrants and bullies who occupy the oasis.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the canyon was so heavy that even the dust in the air seemed to have stopped moving.

A huge round table was placed in the center of a makeshift windproof tent, surrounded by fully armed Sand Ninja ANBU.

The dozen or so-called "leaders" sitting around the round table were all pale-faced and sweating profusely.

Sitting in the main seat was a man with short, dark blond hair and a gloomy look in his eyes.

Fourth Generation Kazekage, Rasa.

"Gentlemen, the Daimyo's cuts to the Sunagakure military budget have reached the red line."

Luo Sha crossed his hands and rested them on his chin.

"Sunagakure paid a heavy price to maintain the peace of the Land of Wind by participating in the Third Shinobi World War. And you... as the protected ones, you've been making a fortune through smuggling and occupying oases all these years. Shouldn't you show your loyalty to the country at this time?"

"Wind...Lord Wind Shadow..."

A burly, rogue ninja leader wiped his sweat and forced a smile, saying, "It's not that we don't want to pay taxes, it's just that the sandstorms have been too severe these past two years, making trade routes difficult. Plus, that... that Loulan area has been acting strangely lately, it seems to be sucking away all the moisture from the surrounding area..."

"Humph."

Luo Sha snorted coldly, and a layer of golden dust instantly appeared on the surrounding sand.

"I don't care about the reason, I'm just asking you, do you want to be killed by me like the leader of the Boundless Oasis?"

The surrounding leaders looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were still hesitant.

Luo Sha slammed his hand on the table, his eyes no longer concealing his murderous intent.

“Starting next month, I will take 50% of all your profits! Furthermore, your private soldiers must be incorporated into the Sand Village's reserve force and placed under the unified command of the village! Who agrees? Who disagrees?”

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Taking half the profits and then swallowing up private soldiers? This is practically sucking them dry!

But seeing the deadly gold dust flying everywhere, everyone dared not speak out in anger.

Rasa is using them to establish his authority and fill the huge financial hole in Sunagakure.

"Ring ring—"

A clear and melodious camel bell sound suddenly pierced through the outer perimeter of the Sand Ninja and drifted into the canyon.

"Who goes there?!"

The Sand Ninja Anbu on guard duty were shocked.

The perception barrier they set up had no effect whatsoever?

"A person who does business."

To everyone's astonishment, the sandstorm at the canyon entrance dissipated.

There were no thousands of troops, only two people.

Leading the way was a mysterious young man wearing a black trench coat and a mask with strange patterns on his face.

Half a step behind him was a girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in red and white casual clothes.

Her large eyes were idly surveying the surrounding gold dust, which was poised to erupt at any moment.

This combination is just too bizarre.

It's like a young nobleman taking his younger sister on a picnic.

"You are... the legendary ruler of Loulan?"

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes; he had seen descriptions of this kind of attire in intelligence reports.

Although I've never taken Loulan seriously, the fact that they were able to break through the barrier silently shows they have some skill.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Kazekage. You may call me Aizen."

Uchiha Tsuki walked to the round table, ignoring the almost tangible killing intent of the dozens of Sand Ninja around him.

He casually pulled out a chair, sat down next to the leader who had just been trembling with fear, and then pulled out a... exquisite product brochure from his pocket.

"I overheard something outside just now, and it seems Lord Kazekage is quite short of money?"

Yue gently pushed the brochure in front of Luo Sha, a professional smile curving up at the corner of her mouth beneath the mask.

"Instead of exploiting these poor bastards to the point of exhaustion, why don't you talk business with me? Loulan's latest 'fully automatic steam pump,' 'compressed dehydrated vegetables,' and 'chakra amplification ninja tools' can solve many of the current predicaments facing Sunagakure."

"Business?"

Luo Sha didn't even glance at the booklet; the gloom in his eyes deepened.

He was establishing his authority and solidifying his absolute rule.

And this ignorant Loulan person actually dared to come and cause trouble at this time, and even tried to negotiate with him on an equal footing.

"In the Land of Wind, all resources belong to Sunagakure, and Loulan is no exception. 50% of the profits, otherwise!"

Luo Sha slowly stood up, and the sand gold behind him soared into the sky, transforming into a huge golden claw that hovered above Yue's head.

"Ugh……"

Yue sighed helplessly, not looking up at the golden claw that could shatter rocks, but turning to look at the light behind her.

"See, I told you, you can't reason with politicians. They only understand the sound of fists."

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Moon, should we kill them all?"

The girl's voice was clear and calm, as if she were simply asking if they wanted grilled fish for dinner.

"No, no, no, these are all our potential future customers."

Yue extended a finger and shook it. "Just demonstrate Loulan's ability to guarantee the security of trade routes. Hmm... let Lord Fengying calm down a bit."

"understood."

Guang nodded.

The next second, a chilling killing intent, seemingly emanating from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, erupted instantly from the seemingly harmless girl's body!

"How dare you boast! Die!"

Luo Sha's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his golden giant claw slammed down with immense force!

"Magnetic Release: Golden Sand Waves!"

Faced with the massive gold sand claw crashing down on him, Uchiha Yue didn't even flinch, maintaining his elegant sitting posture as if he were promoting a product.

"Zheng—!"

A sharp, piercing sound, as if it could slice through space, suddenly rang out.

Everyone present only saw a flash of red light.

Followed by.

"boom!!"

That giant gold claw, powerful enough to smash a Jonin into a pulp, suddenly shattered half a meter from the top of the moon!

It wasn't blocked, but rather severed from the very center by an extremely violent force!

The sky was filled with gold dust, like a golden downpour, falling softly.

Amidst the falling gold dust, Uchiha Hikaru's figure landed gracefully in the very center of the round table.

The short sword in her hand did not emit any chakra light, but it was enveloped in a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble.

Chapter 33 Luo Sha: Have I become a cushion?

"too slow."

Guang tilted his head, and his originally dark eyes instantly turned scarlet.

Three-tomoe jade?

Luo Sha's heart trembled violently.

People from the Uchiha clan?! What are they doing in Loulan?!
