The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Otherwise, Menma would have rushed to another place immediately, a region that used to be located between the Land of Wind, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Fire, but is now considered part of the Land of Wind.

In that area.

There was a country more than 20 years ago.

A small country called Loulan.

That's right!

The goal is to achieve a pockmarked face.

It was the Dragon Vein power that his father had sealed away before the Third Shinobi World War!

Unlike the demon, this one has power comparable to a tailed beast at most.

Dragon Vein!

Mianma has placed the highest hopes on it.

It's important to know that in the original story, the Dragon Vein helped Naruto and Yamato travel through time and space. While the sealing technique set up by Minato Namikaze may have played a role, the main reason was definitely the Dragon Vein itself!

This is an energy that, like the spirits, is distinct from chakra. It is native to this planet and has no relation to natural energy.

It is an independent entity.

If only we could completely possess this force.

Menma believes that her abilities will definitely make a significant leap forward!

therefore!

Almost immediately after the matter with the demon was resolved.

Mianma, along with Wugou and several other shadow guards, sped southwards towards the location of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

After spending two full days traversing most of the Land of Wind.

Mianma and his group have finally arrived at the area closest to the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

Chapter 593 The Dragon Vein of Loulan

Loulan was a small country in name only, but in reality a city-state.

Its rise and fall took only a few decades.

It rises because of the dragon vein, and it also perishes because of the dragon vein.

This country once enjoyed a certain reputation on the continent because the ancient Loulan Kingdom possessed the power of the dragon vein.

And that was after the destruction of Loulan.

More than twenty years have passed.

The turning point happened right before the Third Shinobi World War, with the Dragon Vein being sealed by Minato Namikaze, who was not yet the Fourth Hokage, marking the end of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

This territory was also directly incorporated into the rule of the Land of Wind.

However, despite being incorporated, the Wind Kingdom did not establish any administrative institutions here. The original ancient Loulan ruins remained abandoned. Due to an unknown battle, the Loulan Kingdom was completely destroyed. Like most places in the Wind Kingdom, the surrounding area was full of sandstorms. Therefore, with the people of the Loulan Kingdom leaving on their own, it was even less likely that other people from the Wind Kingdom would move here to live.

The authorities of the Land of Wind simply ignored it.

In the beginning, a group of Sand Ninja were stationed here year-round. The reason was simple: the Dragon Vein, a special power that could make the Loulan Kingdom stronger. The Land of Wind was definitely interested in it. Unfortunately, the sealing technique set up by Minato Namikaze was not something that the Sand Village group could break.

Menma's father inherited the most essential sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

The seal he set up.

It was the most advanced type of ninja in the ninja world at that time, and it was absolutely impossible for ninjas from other ninja villages to break through it.

The Sand Village ninja spent countless hours here, and even after their Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared, they still couldn't break the seal, let alone take away the Dragon Vein. Then the Third Shinobi World War broke out, and the Sand Village's attention naturally turned to the various countries of the Shinobi World. All the Sand Village ninja stationed here were withdrawn. During the war, even a small team of elite soldiers played a significant role.

The Sand Ninja who were previously dispatched to the Dragon Vein were naturally among the top talents in the Sand Village.

In the event of war with various countries.

The fighting power of these Sand Ninja cannot be wasted here.

It all started from that moment.

The ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom have become a completely deserted area.

After the war ended, Sunagakure seemed to have resigned itself to its fate, realizing that this seal was not something they could break, and they did not send anyone to help.

On the contrary, it's Konoha.

The fact that no one has been sent to take away the dragon vein is truly a puzzling question.

We can't really say that Konoha has that kind of peace spirit, can we?

He would resolutely refuse to take what wasn't his own. In Menma's opinion, his Hokage father was definitely not the kind of person who was stubborn and conservative. As long as it was beneficial to the village, his father would definitely do it. In fact, Minato Namikaze was basically a cheerful version of Tobirama Senju.

At least that's what Menma himself thinks.

In other words, if we consider this argument, the only reason not to take away the dragon vein is that it couldn't be taken away!

What kind of power does a dragon vein possess?

As a power capable of covering a city and used as an energy source, and seemingly inexhaustible, Menma didn't believe that her father had never considered such a thing. Even if Minato Namikaze couldn't think of it, wouldn't the other people in the village have thought of it?

Especially that old guy Danzo.

Menma is 100% certain that if Danzo can do it, he will definitely take the Dragon Vein.

This is similar to the practice of the Eight Gates Formation.

Things that can be done.

Danzo would definitely have done it. The only reason he didn't is that he tried, but couldn't do it.

That's it.

and so.

This is why this dragon vein has remained in the ruins of Loulan.

Menma was waiting for Menma's arrival today. Even if the power of the dragon vein was special, Menma felt that the power of Yin-Yang Release would be enough to cut it off and take it away.

Even if a dragon vein is special, it can't be more special than a ten-tailed dragon, right?

If even the Yin-Yang Release, which can sever the Ten-Tails, is powerless against the Dragon Vein, then Menma would have to question whether the Dragon Vein originated from a special race on the other side of the distant starry sky, comparable to the Otsutsuki clan.

After all, an existence that cannot be cut by a certain force must at least be at the same level as that force, or even at a higher level.

This is clearly impossible.

Therefore, regarding the power to sever the dragon vein.

Mianma was quite confident. In addition, he was also very interested in whether the combination of dragon veins and seals could bring about time travel.

Is this Loulan?

Before arriving at the ruins.

Apart from Mianma, who already knew about the situation in Loulan.

The remaining few people.

Even Wu Gou looked around at the randomly collapsed ruins of Loulan with slight surprise, their faces showing varying degrees of astonishment.

Even though they are all collapsed buildings.

Many of them are still broken, but through close observation, it can be seen that these buildings are almost all tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters high, which is an exaggerated figure.

It's not that such buildings don't exist in the ninja world; ninjas have the power to create buildings that are countless times more exaggerated than this.

But remember this.

This is just an ordinary small country.

Moreover, there are not just one or two such buildings.

"Are you surprised? Loulan, a small city-state sandwiched between a large country, could have such buildings more than 20 years ago."

Menma turned to look at Wugou to the side and said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Menma, such a building should not be something an ordinary person could build. Could it be that all of this is the power of that dragon vein you mentioned?"

Wu Gou lowered her head slightly and asked with a puzzled look.

"Ah, you could say that, but not all of them. Some things still require manpower. Loulan more than 20 years ago was not as simple as it seems to us."

Menma smiled slightly, and the image of the rogue ninja from Sunagakure from the original work—Centipede—came into his mind.

Now Menma is very curious whether he can activate time travel when he touches the power of the Dragon Vein, just like Naruto in the original story. If so, which time and space will he go to?

do not forget.

The plot of this life is quite different from the original story.

According to the original story, Sai had already joined Team 7 when Naruto's team was chasing Centipede.

The current timeline is earlier than the period in the original story, meaning that the storyline of the rogue ninja Hyakuzoku from Sunagakure breaking the seal set up by Minato Namikaze does not exist in this life.

In fact.

When Menma arrived at the huge underground space that sealed the power of the dragon vein and saw that the seal was still intact, he was further certain of this.

"The seal is still there."

Menma strode to the altar-like disc and looked at the specially made kunai inserted into it.

A faint look of contemplation also appeared in Mianma's eyes.

Given Menma's current skill in sealing techniques, he can break the seal set up by his father through normal means.

However, this makes the plot unfold a little differently from the original story.

The rogue ninja from Sunagakure, Hyakuzoku, forcibly destroyed the entire sealing technique using brute force. In fact, that's not quite right, because Hyakuzoku's ability couldn't truly break the intricate seal set up by Minato. Hyakuzoku simply exploited a tiny gap, not breaking it, but rather forcibly drilling a small hole to extract and use the power of the Dragon Vein, thereby destroying the entire seal.

That approach would obviously cause the power of the dragon vein to go berserk. Mianma was unsure whether this was a necessary condition, because he had no way to prove it, and countless thoughts raced through his mind.

Mianma ultimately gave up on resorting to violence.

This is because Menma inherently possesses the ability to break the seal, and also because violent methods bring too many uncontrollable factors.
