"First Generation! (Ouch!)" The shadow clone leaped high into the air, stepping on Hidan's shoulder, its body hanging upside down as countless kunai were thrown out...

"Ah!!!" Then... a row of archers fell from the city wall.

Xiyan was shocked: "He had locked onto the positions of all the enemies long before I activated the Mist Concealment Technique, and then fired kunai from memory, yet every shot hit its mark. Moreover, he had formed the hand seals for Shadow Clone Technique while performing his swordsmanship..."

"Hey! You're taking on several people (Itachi) at once, didn't you just step on me?!" Hidan complained.

Lin Yu had already reached the city gate. Two guards in front of him gripped their long spears tightly, like startled birds.

"Get out of the way," Yu said coldly.

"Ah!!" Although the two soldiers were afraid, they did not retreat and charged forward wielding their long spears!

Whoosh! The long spear passed right through them, and Lin Yu had already grabbed the two men by the throat. He tightened his grip until their arms went limp, and then threw them aside.

The obstruction outside the city gate has been removed.

Lin Yu summoned the skeletal arm of Susanoo beside him, clenched its fist, and smashed the city gate into pieces!

He strode into the city of Loulan, with his three children following closely behind.

Startled by the commotion at the city gate, a large number of Loulan soldiers rushed over.

A man riding a tall warhorse pointed his sword at Lin Yu and demanded, "Who are you, and why have you come?"

Lin Yu said indifferently, "The Land of Darkness, Shadow Uchiha Yu, came for the Dragon Vein. Not resisting can avoid sacrifice..."

The soldiers seemed not to recognize Uchiha Yu and said, "The Dragon Vein is a blessing from the gods to the earth, which allows us to be reborn in paradise after death. How could we let you have it!"

Lin Yu sneered: "Heh, so after all this time, you're stuck with medieval thinking? Then there's no way we can communicate. I'll send you to your eternal bliss..."

Whoosh! The chakra sphere released a spinning and compressed energy in the palm of the hand, forming a Rasenshuriken, but this time the added attribute turned it green!

Green is the color of life, symbolizing life!

—Wood Release: Rasenshuriken!

Lin Yu tossed it into the sky.

boom!!

The shuriken exploded into green light, and within the green light, the senbon needles fell like a sudden rain, mercilessly piercing the soldiers' bodies!

"Ah!!!" They fell to the ground with screams, including the one on the tall warhorse in front...

Blood stained the ground... Most of them were dead, but a few were still struggling in pools of blood, their bodies riddled with splinters...

Lin Yu coldly raised two fingers and formed a hand seal in front of his chest.

Click!Click!Click!

The splinters instantly expanded into massive trees, tearing their bodies apart!

Whoosh!

Blood rained down, passing through Lin Yu's body, splashing onto Yugao's face and hair, Itachi's face and body, and... Hidan's entire body!

Lin Yu wanted to make these children behind him understand the cruelty of war and the tragedy of the weak!

Xi Yan reached up and touched her cheek, then looked at the bright red stain on her palm. The scene of Moonlight Gale's tragic death before her eyes flashed through her mind, and her pupils trembled uncontrollably...

Itachi stared at the rain of blood, his fists clenched: Father, Mother, clansmen... were they also subjected to this kind of cruelty that night?

Lin Yu coldly said to the three stunned people behind him, "Let's go..."

Yugao and Itachi followed. "Slurp~!" Hidan licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his lazy eyes suddenly becoming bloodshot with excitement as he stared at Lin Yu's back with fanatical eyes: "So handsome!! I'm idolizing him!!!"

Witnessing the horrific carnage, the city's civilians knelt in the streets, trembling with fear, praying to the gods.

Ignoring them, Lin Yu followed the sensation of the dragon vein's chakra and arrived at the temple in the center of Loulan City, where the dragon vein was located.

Meanwhile, the remaining soldiers in the city also gathered outside the temple.

"I'm going to retrieve the Dragon Vein. The Dragon Vein's chakra is extraordinary, and I might be unable to leave. Your task is to hold off the obstacles until I'm finished..." After giving instructions to the three children behind him, Lin Yu walked into the shadows ahead.

"Obstruction..."

The three children, each with their own interpretation of those two words, gripped their weapons...

Chapter 162 Seizing the Dragon Vein! (5/5)

Lin Yu descended the steps surrounding the temple and arrived at the lowest level of the temple.

At the center of the large altar, there was a purple light source emitting unimaginable chakra fluctuations; the oppressive force was so great that ordinary people could not even get close...

Lin Yu stood at the edge of the altar, covering his face with his hands and adjusting the focus of his eyes. The scene inside the light source gradually became clearer.

It resembled a purple eye, exuding an eerie aura.

"Is this the source of the dragon vein? In some fantasy novels, there seems to be a concept of finding the dragon's lair. If we follow that concept, this should be the location of the earth's energy point. (The Lost Tower movie has a strong ancient Eastern flavor, with elements like Loulan, An Lushan, 'Hurry, hurry, as the law commands,' and Tai Chi appearing. I will omit these here to avoid affecting the charm of Naruto itself.)"

After a brief meditation, Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode was activated. Lin Yu covered his pupils with the cornea of ​​a snake to avoid being burned by the intense light, and then walked forward under the immense pressure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dragon vein seemed to sense the danger, and streams of purple chakra dragons emerged from the light source, attempting to kill Lin Yu.

Lin Yu said coldly, "Hmph, you've regained some of your senses, huh? Well, after all, all chakra comes from that 'Divine Tree.' If we trace it back to its origins, you can't escape your connection to the Divine Tree either..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The silver chakra snakes encircling his body met the attack head-on, annihilating the purple chakra dragon of the dragon vein...

When the nine immortal snakes were exhausted, Lin Yu stopped at the source of the dragon vein.

"To stop you from resisting, let me seal you away first..."

*Sizzle!* The Yang Seal on Lin Yu's forehead emitted a faint orange light, and he formed a series of complex hand seals with his hands!

To seal the dragon vein, only the Eight Trigrams Seal of the Whirlpool Clan is sufficient!

Whoosh! Whoosh! The octagonal sealing platform, specially used for the Bagua sealing ritual, was summoned, with a candle burning in each of the eight directions.

A hole was opened in the middle of the sealing platform, just big enough to accommodate the purple light source.

As the technique was performed, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique was revealed. This seal was no match for even the Nine-Tails. No matter how strong the Dragon Vein Chakra was, how could it compare to the Nine-Tails?

Buzz! The purple light disappeared, and the eyes in the purple light source slowly closed, no longer sensing any chakra fluctuations.

Whoosh! The Dragon Cave Sage Mode was deactivated. Lin Yu sat cross-legged in meditation. Ten minutes later, blue light covered his entire body, and the Silent Sage Mode was activated.

"Now, let's strip away the entire dragon vein. With divine power, it seems like a massive undertaking..."

Outside the temple, the battle continues.

Yugao charged into the enemy ranks, her Sharingan in her left eye sweeping across the enemy's vitals without emotion. Her lightning-wrapped ninja sword pierced through their armor, killing them instantly! She drew her sword and slaughtered the next life! Like a purple rose, she grew amidst blood, bloomed amidst blood, and withered amidst blood!

In the eyes of this ten-year-old girl, there seems to be no concept of good and evil, or rather, good and evil have long lost their meaning for her.

She carried out her orders with the same coldness, calmness, and ruthlessness as a machine!

Itachi was equally adept at maneuvering within the enemy ranks. His Sharingan darted around, but he was trying to avoid the enemy's vital points. He was always extremely careful when he attacked, only incapacitating his opponent without killing them. He would only kill his opponent when necessary.

"Hahahaha, kill them all!!" As for Hidan... he wielded a three-bladed blood scythe that was even bigger than himself, not caring whether the enemy was dead or alive. He only needed to be soaked in thick blood!

The child who was once forced to kill by adults and would painfully resist has now completely unleashed his nature, fully and thoroughly enjoying the pleasure of killing...

The battle is over.

"To be able to savor that pain, the pain that kills you, ah, Jashin-sama...!!!" Hidan lay in the circle of Death Possession blood, shouting in a trance.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Itachi panted, took out a soldier's ration pill and swallowed it to replenish his lost strength and chakra, while glancing at Yugao out of the corner of his eye.

After taking the soldier's ration pill, Yugao walked expressionlessly to a soldier who had been knocked unconscious by Itachi and raised her sword.

"Hey, what are you doing..." Itachi stepped forward to stop him.

*Snap!* But Xi Yan had already plunged the knife into the soldier's chest, pulled out the blood-soaked blade, and turned to Wu Xie, asking, "What's wrong, Captain?"

Itachi placed his hand on Yugao's shoulder and said, "Why kill them? Lord Shadow's order is to 'block' them. Just make sure they lose their fighting ability; we don't need to take their lives."

Xi Yan tilted her head and said, "No cassi~ (How strange~) Only by truly killing them and making them never be able to get up again can we truly stop them, right? Or... are you, as the captain, ordering me not to kill them? In that case, I will obey."

Itachi gazed intently at Yugao, then lowered his hand from her shoulder.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Xi Yan used her knife to harvest the lives of the soldiers on the ground one by one, as if their lives were as insignificant as ants or blades of grass!

"Yugao, what exactly have you been through?" Itachi finally asked the question that had been lingering in his heart.

"There is someone I must kill!" Xi Yan replied, seemingly ignoring the question.

"Who is the person we must kill?" Itachi asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"You'll know later..." Yugao pulled her ninja sword from the corpse of the last soldier.

At this moment, Lin Yu walked outside the temple, looking exhausted, with bloodshot eyes and pale pupils.

Itachi frowned: "Lord Shadow, your eyes..."

Lin Yu, leaning against the wall, said, "It's nothing, just overexertion of my pupil power. I'll be fine after a rest..."

Yes, learning the Silent Immortal Technique only prolongs the lifespan of the eyes; it cannot change the inevitable outcome of blindness. In other words, unless the Kaleidoscope is transplanted and evolved into the Eternal Kaleidoscope, Lin Yu's eyes will eventually go blind.

Lin Yu thought to himself: The dragon vein chakra is far greater than I imagined. I didn't expect that separating the dragon vein would consume such a huge amount of my eye power. If I hadn't learned the Silent Sage Technique, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it at all. But at least this way, I can ensure that the children in the village won't fall behind others in chakra...

Then Lin Yu looked at the corpse on the ground and tried to reconstruct the whole process from its manner of death and the knife wounds.

He had already wiped out the main force of the Loulan Kingdom's soldiers, and he was certain that the remaining three children were strong enough to handle them. Lin Yu left behind a semi-open instruction to ascertain the extent of the darkness within these three children's hearts...

"Brother-in-law, did you get the dragon vein?" Xi Yan tilted her head.

"Yes, I got it."

"Should we go straight back, or continue killing everyone?" Xi Yan asked innocently.

It seems that the darkness in Xi Yan's heart is deeper than I imagined... Lin Yu thought to himself, and said gently, "It's getting late, let's go back to the village, so your sister won't worry..."

Chapter 163 The Dragon-Suppressing Pagoda! (1/5)

Whoosh! Before the Hidden Great Waterfall, the Divine Might Whirlpool spun, and Lin Yu returned triumphantly with his three children.

Just a few steps after turning around, a figure with flowing purple hair rushed over from Tianyu Pavilion and threw herself into Lin Yu's arms, causing the two of them to spin around in place due to the strong momentum.

What other woman could Lin Yu not hide from? Only Xi Yang.
