Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

He had thought that Luo Sha's brain had grown a little, but he didn't expect that this little thing was just his fear of him.

"A coup? Abdication? Who do you think you are?"

Yue walked to the wall of the dungeon, drew a line in the air with her finger, and a map of the Land of Wind made of chakra slowly appeared.

"The political structure of the ninja world has remained unchanged for a thousand years. The idea that 'the daimyo is the legitimate ruler' is deeply ingrained in the bones of every commoner and ninja. If you openly rebel, you will not only face fierce resistance from all the nobles and conservative forces of the Land of Wind, but you will also give the other four great nations a legitimate excuse to unite and punish you, this 'traitor'!"

"At that time, Sunagakure will become the target of everyone's attacks. With your small force, can you withstand the siege of the entire ninja world?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

"So... what does Your Excellency mean?"

"We will seize power legitimately." Yue turned around, a smile curving her lips. "The banner we will raise will be 'Purge the Emperor's Corrupt Officials'!"

"Purge the court of corrupt officials?" Luo Sha was stunned; this was the first time he had ever heard this term.

"Yes."

Yue pointed to the Left Minister, who had become an idiot on the ground.

"According to the information I just obtained through soul searching, this Left Minister not only embezzled a huge amount of military funds that should have been allocated to Sunagakure, but also secretly colluded with wandering ninja clans to attack caravans and civilians in the Land of Wind in order to enrich himself."

"More importantly... he was incredibly audacious, using his status as a relative of the daimyo to deceive the daimyo and imprison the rightful heir who supported Sunagakure, attempting to install his puppet nephew as the new ruler!"

Any one of these "crimes" would be enough to send the Left Minister to his death a hundred times over!

"Luo Sha, listen carefully."

Yue, worried that the brainless Luo Sha wouldn't understand his meaning, directly commanded:

"You shall immediately issue a proclamation of condemnation throughout the Land of Wind in the name of the Fourth Kazekage!"

"In the article, you must bitterly denounce the Left Minister and his cronies for deceiving their superiors and harming the country and its people, for embezzling military funds from Sunagakure, causing the soldiers on the front lines to bleed and weep! You must blame all the resistance you have encountered in implementing the birth policy over the past few months on these treacherous officials!"

"Not only are you not rebelling, but you are also the most loyal guardian of the Wind Kingdom! You were forced to raise an army to 'purge the court of corrupt officials' in order to protect the deceived daimyo and to save the suffering people of the Wind Kingdom!"

Luo Sha's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He never imagined there was such a method.

"Once the article is published, you will personally lead the elite troops of Sunagakure, along with those exoskeleton armor units armed with Loulan technology, and march in a grand manner toward the Daimyo's capital!"

"Along the way, any noble private soldiers who dare to resist will be crushed by absolute force on the charge of 'treason'! The entire Land of Wind must see the consequences of obstructing the 'loyalty' of Sunagakure!"

"When your army surrounds Daming Prefecture, send this fat pig, along with this 'black material' that I have prepared, to Daming."

Seeing that Rasa seemed to be thinking, Yue continued:

“Daimyo is not a fool. When a knife is held to his throat, he will understand who the real ‘traitor’ is.”

"To save his life and the crown on his head, he would not hesitate to pin all the blame on the Left Minister, and might even personally order the execution of all those associated with the Left Minister."

"At that time, you will naturally take over the various powers of the Wind Kingdom as a person who has 'made meritorious contributions in protecting the king'."

"The daimyo is still the same high and mighty daimyo; but the Land of Wind is no longer his."

"Ten years from now, when the new generation has fully grown up after receiving our education, their fame will be dispensable."

Chapter 114 You are also an angel, light

After several days of a stable life with no worries about food and clothing, the three members of the Nagato trio and Senju Nawaki finally recovered from their initial vigilance and fear and began to slowly adapt to the unfamiliar environment of Loulan.

"Hikaru, you don't seem to have anything going on today?"

Guang nodded: "Today's routine physical training and chakra purification have been completed. Sara said that I don't need to check the accounts today."

"Then I'll give you a task."

Yue pointed towards the bustling commercial district of the Loulan underground city.

"Go to the medical area and bring Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, and that Senju Nawaki who just recovered. Take the four kids out for a good stroll and have some fun."

"Take them out to play? Yue, what about you?"

"Go by yourself!"

Guang froze, a rare hint of panic appearing in his dark eyes.

Without a moon, how could I take four kids, whose combined age is less than thirty, shopping all by myself?

This... I'm so at a loss!

"I...I don't know how to take care of children." Hikaru took a half step back, somewhat reluctantly.

Yue stepped forward, smiling as she gently ruffled Guang's soft black hair: "You're not much older than them, Guang. Learn to face the world on your own."

"Yahiko and the other two were fighting with wild dogs for food in the ruins of the Land of Rain. Nawaki was so young that he almost died in a trap. They never experienced a normal childhood. Hikari, you too, go and experience it for yourself."

Looking into Guang's eyes, which were gradually softening, Yue said softly:

"If you don't know what to do, just show them around the city. Show them the ordinary people laughing in the streets, show them the high-tech machines, take them to the amusement park, let them eat hamburgers, and let them buy new clothes."

"This is also your task: to learn how to be an ordinary girl who knows how to enjoy life."

Hearing Yue's words, Guang pursed his lips tightly.

She glanced down at her red and white casual clothes, and after a long while, she took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"I understand. Since it's your request, Yue, I will fulfill your expectations. I will be an ordinary girl."

……

Loulan Underground City, Central Commercial Street.

Compared to the impending bloodshed and chaos in the Land of Wind, the atmosphere here is exceptionally peaceful.

Guang led the group of children through the streets and alleys.

"Is...is this really a city that humans could build?"

Yahiko, with his orange hair, leaned against the huge glass railing, staring intently at the rows of neat, automated trains below, billowing white steam.

In the Land of Rain, all he saw was endless rain, collapsed villages, and explosive tags that could fall at any moment.

People there would fight each other to the death over a piece of bread.

"Look over there! Where does all that water come from? It's so beautiful..." Xiao Nan covered her mouth, pointing to a giant fountain in the center of the square that was spraying water, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Nagato hugged the stray dog ​​named "Little Dot" tightly, and his Rinnegan, which was always covered by his thick bangs, widened slightly in shock.

Under the sunlight, a magnificent rainbow emerged from the water mist.

The soft glow of the rainbow fell precisely on the faces of the passersby, their pure smiles and incredible prosperity striking the trio's hearts like a heavy hammer blow.

There was no fear, no defense, and no hunger for food.

The vendors were loudly hawking their fresh vegetables with great enthusiasm, and the grilled meat on the charcoal fire was emitting an enticing aroma;

The workers, relieved of their day's fatigue, walked arm in arm into the izakaya filled with the aroma of sake.

Children, holding colorful candies, chased and played freely in the square.

"So... people can really be this happy in this world..." Xiao Nan murmured to herself.

Even Senju Nawaki, who comes from a prestigious family in Konoha and prides himself on being knowledgeable, is now acting like a country bumpkin, marveling at the dazzling array of industrial goods on the street. He even squats down in front of a stall selling "miniature light-up fans," his eyes practically glued to them.

In Konoha, the most advanced facilities the village had were running water and electricity.

Here, it's just a cheap toy used to amuse children!

Yahiko remained silent.

He bit his lip hard, but his eyes uncontrollably reddened.

He gazed at the fountain illuminated by the rainbow, taking in the serene and peaceful beauty.

A seed called "ambition" has taken deep root in the chest of this orange-haired boy.

"I've made up my mind!" Yahiko shouted. "I'm going to stay here and study! One day, I'll make the Land of Rain like this! I'll make sure that Konan, Nagato, and all the children who have been rained on can live in a city like this!"

Hikaru Uchiha walked behind the four children, and looking at their carefree and hopeful smiles, he unconsciously slowed his pace.

Today she was wearing a light blue long dress that Sarah had specially chosen for her, with a white knitted cardigan over it, which perfectly accentuated her youthful beauty.

Just then, Xiao Nan suddenly stopped, turned around, and jogged back to Guang's side.

The little girl tiptoed and carefully handed the cotton candy she had just bought from a roadside stall, which she hadn't yet been willing to eat, to Guang.

Those clear eyes sparkled with a pure, ingratiating intimacy.

"Sister...eat."

Guang was stunned for a moment.

She looked down at the fluffy, white sugar strands, then at Xiao Nan's expectant little face.

After hesitating for a moment, she still stretched out her fair fingers, gently tore off a small piece of marshmallow, and put it in her mouth.

The sweet taste melted in her mouth, as if possessing a magical power that made the corners of her mouth curve slightly upward.

Just then, the rainbow halo refracted by the fountain passed over the crowd and gently landed on Guang's smiling profile.

In Xiao Nan's clear eyes, the red-eyed sister who had pulled them out of the mire of despair was now incredibly beautiful and gentle, bathed in a halo of light.

"Sister, your smile is so beautiful!" Xiao Nan exclaimed upon seeing Guang's smile. "It's like...like an angel!"

"Angel?"

Guang's dark eyes widened slightly.

This is the first time someone has used such beautiful words to describe her.

She couldn't help but reach out and gently ruffle Xiao Nan's short blue hair.

The soft touch from his palm made Guang's heart beat a little faster.

This feeling... isn't unpleasant.

Even more so than when she poked that chubby Uchiha Sasuke in Konoha, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and tenderness.

Is it because they all still retain the most precious innocence in the world?

As she watched the three boys arguing endlessly over a toy, Yue suddenly recalled something she had once told her:

"Go and learn how to be an ordinary girl who enjoys life."
