Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a country that was once so powerful has been reduced to only eighty-three people in just a few years."

Night shook his head.

Master Ye was kind-hearted and could not bear to see such poor and displaced people.

Come to my Hidden Mist Village!

Following Sarah's instructions, the two of them vanished from their spot in an instant.

Just as Ye, along with Sara and the remnants of Loulan, used the power of the anti-membrane to leave the Land of Wind and head towards the Land of Water.

After watching Hozuki Mangetsu discuss things with the Sunagakure high-ranking officials for a long time, Obito and Zetsu finally received the news that the Dragon Vein seal had been broken and the Dragon Vein had been stolen.

"How is this possible?! The dragon vein has actually been stolen?!"

Upon hearing the information relayed by Zetsu, Obito Uchiha's ugly face beneath his mask almost contorted into a grimace as he growled at Zetsu beside him, "Who did this!"

"No, I don't know. The Loulan Queen and the Loulan people have all disappeared, and the parasitic spores have also been eliminated."

Bai Jue stammered as he spoke.

Obito Uchiha's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected the Dragon Vein to be stolen.

The power of the dragon vein is quite special. Apart from the Queen of Loulan, ordinary people simply cannot control it. Moreover, the seal left by Minato Namikaze is extremely strong, and even he would have difficulty breaking it.

In this situation, although Obito and Zetsu had perfect control over Sunagakure, they were not very vigilant about the Dragon Vein, but instead paid great attention to the Grell Stone, which could be mined at will.

However, this does not mean that dragon veins are unimportant.

Both Obito and Zetsu knew very well how powerful the Dragon Vein was, but no one expected that not only was the Dragon Vein gone, but even the Queen of Loulan and the Loulan people were gone!

"Could it be Konoha's doing?"

Obito asked in a deep voice, and before Zetsu could speak, he answered himself.

"Minato Namikaze's seal is not so easy to break. The only ones who could steal the Dragon Vein so quickly are those guys from Konoha."

"No, not necessarily... Jue, find them! Unless it's the Flying Thunder God Technique, they couldn't have left the Land of Wind so quickly!"

"Yes."

Zetsu submerged underground and left, while a red light flashed in Obito's eyes.

The next moment, a Jonin rushed into the conference room, looking anxious, and reported something to Rasa.

Rasa, who had been all smiles and discussing various matters with Hozuki Mangetsu, suddenly changed his expression. Before he could even say goodbye to Hozuki Mangetsu, he disappeared from the conference room, leaving everyone stunned.

"This……"

"Uh, I'm sorry, Your Excellency." Chiyo quickly tried to cover it up, "The Fourth Hokage must have some important matters to attend to. The basic framework for cooperation between Sunagakure and Kirigakure has been established. The details can be left to Ebizo and me without any problem."

"Is that so? That's fine too."

Hozuki Mangetsu nodded: "Lady Chiyo, look at the ownership of this river. Doesn't it resemble that of your dear grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand..."

"..."

Everything continued inside the meeting room, but Rasa's figure left Sunagakure and quickly traversed the Land of Wind.

At the same time, he placed one hand on his tightly closed right eye, but his expression grew increasingly somber.

A moment later, he stood still, the space behind him distorted, Obito emerged from it, and Zetsu also broke through the sand.

"So, any leads?"

Jue shook his head; his spore clones hadn't detected anything unusual.

Obito's expression was also very grim. He controlled the Fourth Kazekage and used the Eye of Sand to scan the desert within a radius of dozens of miles, but found no useful clues.

Even though the land of wind is filled with yellow sand, which can easily conceal figures and information, it is truly impossible that both the Eye of the Sand and the Eye of the Sand could detect nothing at the same time.

The three arrived at the Dragon Vein Sealing Site, which was full of ruins. The six Sand Village corpses had long since disappeared, but the residual chakra still lingered in the air.

"Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who could seize the Dragon Vein silently, break Minato Namikaze's seal, and leave the Land of Wind directly." Obito Uchiha's expression was extremely complicated, and the blood-red three-tomoe jade wheel under his vortex mask was spinning.

"I just didn't expect that, compared to the Third Hokage who never left his home, that guy is already a Hokage, yet he would actually go to an enemy country to do something like this."

"It seems that Konoha is now weak to an unimaginable degree."

"What should we do next?" Jue whispered.

"Keep a close eye on Konoha! Keep a close watch on it!" Obito Uchiha's deep voice came from beneath his mask. "If Konoha shows any signs of using the Dragon Vein power, expose it immediately, and then use Sunagakure to instigate and trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War!"

Jue nodded, then suddenly asked, "What if they never use it?"

"That's normal. After all, the power of the dragon vein is bound to the Loulan Queen. Even if you take away the dragon vein, it won't be easy to use it."

"However, we can also take this opportunity to understand the current fighting strength of Konoha, since the Nine-Tails, the most important and powerful of the tailed beasts, is in Konoha."

Obito slowly opened his mouth, and the three-tomoe Sharingan under the vortex mask became even more blood red, as if it were stained with blood.

"The Third Shinobi World War has just ended, and Orochimaru has betrayed us again. Konoha is currently facing its greatest shortage of combat power."

"Furthermore, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is already pregnant, causing her combat power to decline rapidly, making her no longer a threat."

"If the time is right, we could just retrieve the Nine-Tails first, it wouldn't be a bad idea..."

Chapter 140 Exploring the Cult of the Golden Evil God: An Encounter with Tsunade, the Big Fat Sheep

"So, since the destruction of Loulan, you've been living a nomadic life, going wherever the wind takes you?"

Night looked at Sarah with a strange expression.

No wonder that in such a large country, including the queen and the newborn princess, there are only eighty-three people in the entire country.

In this kind of life where we don't know where our next meal is coming from, and we're barely clothed and have nothing to eat, how can you tell me things like, "Although Loulan was destroyed, everyone is doing quite well"?

No, there's a limit to self-deception!

Sarah couldn't stand Ye's strange gaze any longer and said, "At least, at least everyone is free now, isn't that right? You don't know what kind of life everyone lived during the time when they were controlled by An Lushan!"

“But An Lushan is already dead, isn’t he?”

Ye said calmly, "Several years have passed since An Lushan's death. As the ruler of a country, it's one thing if you don't think about how to restore your country, but you don't even have the thought of leading your people to settle down in one place and start anew..."

"It's only because I'm kind-hearted that I'm willing to give you a safe haven. Otherwise, in a few years, I don't think there will be any Loulan survivors left in this world."

"Never mind, I won't say those things anymore." Seeing Sarah growing increasingly ashamed, Night didn't continue speaking, but instead picked up the infant still in swaddling clothes: "Where is the child's father?"

"I have no father."

Sarah whispered, but then seemed to realize her words were somewhat inappropriate, and quickly added, "Our Loulan royal family is special; we are a unique ethnic group that can produce offspring without mating." (Secondary setting)

"I see."

Ye nodded slightly, not finding it strange.

Many people in the ninja world are able to reproduce asexually and give birth to themselves. For example, the priestess Miroku can do this because, for them, offspring represent not only the birth of life, but also the inheritance of abilities.

Like the ancient goddess of the rabbit, who gave birth to twins amidst the blessings and prayers of the people. (Manga setting)

The two chatted casually as they followed the caravan of the Loulan survivors toward the Land of Water.

With the help of the anti-membrane, Night directly took them out of the Land of Wind, but could not directly take them back to the Land of Water.

It's not that I can't do it, but that I can't adapt.

Most of the Loulan survivors were ordinary people, and the long-distance spatial teleportation of the anti-membrane puts a certain amount of pressure on the human body. Ninjas with chakra can withstand it, but ordinary people may not.

However, they traveled by carriage at a considerable speed, and have now passed through several small countries before arriving in the Land of Hot Springs.

They only need to cross the Land of Hot Water to enter the Land of Water.

"No, it's terrible, Your Majesty."

Suddenly, accompanied by an urgent cry, a Loulan citizen ran over in a panic: "Your Majesty, we have been attacked! Longtaojia and the others have been killed!"

"What! Do you even know what the enemy looks like? Are they ninjas?!"

The Queen of Loulan was shocked and quickly asked.

If they were ordinary bandits or robbers, they might put up a fight, but if it were ninjas...

Then they had no choice but to run away and retreat.

With the dragon vein sealed and Loulan overthrown, the displaced Loulan people gradually became ordinary people.

For them, those wild beasts and monsters alone were already extremely difficult to deal with, and as for the power of ninjas, they were even more unmatched!

"They are wearing Tang Ninja headbands, they are Tang Ninja!"

broken!

Sarah's expression darkened, and she instinctively wanted to say something about retreating and avoiding the situation.

But as if she had thought of something, she immediately turned to look at Ye, her eyes pleading for help.

It can even subdue the power of the dragon vein, and kill six Sand Village Jonin in an instant.

If Ye makes a move, he will definitely be able to defeat them!

"Please, please help us!"

Queen Sarah of Loulan looked at Ye with pleading eyes: "Please help us. We've already joined the Water Kingdom, haven't we? The people of Loulan really can't keep disappearing like this. I beg you..."

"If you had realized this sooner, the Loulan survivors wouldn't be in this situation."

Ye smiled calmly: "Very well, since you've already admitted to being a member of the Land of Water, how could I sit idly by?"

"Thank you, sir!"

Night sensed two very faint chakra reactions and instantly disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, there were three figures of Tang Ninja in front of her.

Judging from the strength of their chakra, these few ninjas were no more than Chunin level. Ye didn't think much of it and casually shot out two white lightning bolts, which pierced through the hearts of the Loulan survivors in their shocked eyes.

But then a terrifying scene unfolded.

Two of the three ninjas were pierced through the heart and collapsed to the ground, twitching a few times before falling lifeless. However, the remaining ninja, a middle-ranking member of the ninjas, seemed unaffected after being knocked to the ground and got up as if nothing had happened.

"Ghost, ghost!"

"How is this possible? This ninja is invincible!"

"Run!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Loulan survivors scattered in terror, and even Ye frowned in dismay.

He could clearly sense the presence of the ninja in front of him, an ordinary Chunin, nothing special, not a clone jutsu, and the white lightning had accurately hit his heart, so why...

"Damn bastard, how dare you defy the great..."

"call out!"

Another bombshell.

Precision-guided, a single shot that pierced his forehead protector and went straight through his forehead.

The intense heat generated by the lightning scorched the skin and brain, and there was even a smell of burning protein.

Without a doubt, such injuries would kill not only a human, but even a zombie.

But an unbelievable scene unfolded again.

The Chunin from Yugakure, whose brain had been pierced, actually got up from the ground again, glaring at Yoru with a face full of anger: "It hurts, you bastard!"

The headband on her forehead fell to the ground, and a blood-red triangular brand appeared on her forehead, which should have been smooth and bare.

"This pattern..."

Ye frowned slightly.

"Be shocked, tremble, and go mad by the power of the evil god, and then die!"

The chuunibyou from Yugakure touched his forehead, suddenly pulled out a kunai, and charged towards Ye Meng while shouting "Long live the evil god!"

However, just as he was about to rush in front of Ye, he suddenly froze in place, standing there like a puppet in front of Ye.

"Introduce yourself."

Ye spoke calmly.

"I am ninja number 3208 from Yugakure, and also the most loyal follower of the great evil god, a Chunin, Masato Koyama."

Evil God?

Upon hearing this form of address, Ye's heart stirred.
