Chapter 468: Return to the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan

The purple chakra pillar of light faded away, and everything that was engulfed by the purple pillar of light disappeared with it.

Including Naruto, Yamato, and the shadow outline in Sakai's eyes...

What is that?

Sakai, who flew to the surface on a big bird, enlarged his eyes, and the look of horror in his eyes was not concealed at all,

Sakura was still crying, but Sakai's mind was not thinking about the safety of Naruto and Captain Yamato, but the thing he had just seen in the purple pillar of light.

That thing was like a flying dragon in the purple pillar of light, and although it was completely impossible to see the specific form, the strange shadow light made Sakai judge that it was definitely a real thing.

Not only that, but just now Sakai heard a secret and unusual whistling sound.

Maybe Sakura didn't hear the unusual whistling sound because she had been shouting Naruto's name just now, and the noise of the environment, but Sakai was sure that his ears heard the unusual sound.

The strange huge silhouette and the unusual whistling sound all made Sakai's heart full of uneasiness and fear.

And this kind of uneasiness and fear was only experienced by Sakai when he encountered a ghoul in the town of North Point in Kawanokuni.

...

In the boundless darkness of consciousness, Naruto was awakened by the hardness under his body and a trace of coolness covering his body, and slowly opened his eyes.

In Naruto's last second memory, it was clear that he was swept up in a purple chakra pillar of light, but at the moment there were no scars on his body.

Instead, Naruto was transported to a completely unfamiliar environment.

Naruto sat up and looked around at his surroundings.

It looks like ruins, but unlike the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan in my impression just now, the ruins here are not old enough at first glance, and the various collapsed stone pillars and stone walls still retain a relatively new cyan color.

And there is a mausoleum next to the place where Naruto is lying, and the standard of the mausoleum seems to be relatively high, and there is only this mausoleum in this huge space.

However, Naruto didn't really care about this at this time, and quickly stood up and called out the names of the others.

"Captain Yamato!"

"Sakura-chan!"

"Sakai!"

After three shouts, only Naruto's own voice echoed in the space.

After making sure that it was only him, Naruto didn't rush out, but first investigated where he was.

The collapsed pillars and walls didn't provide information, so Naruto had to come to the mausoleum.

The tombstone in the middle of the mausoleum reads "The Thirty-ninth Queen of Loulan Kingdom, the Tomb of Shami." ”

Loulan country?

Naruto's brain reacted for a moment before he remembered that the location of his mission was the ancient city of Loulan.

"So that means I'm still in Loulan?"

"Sakura-chan!"

Naruto, who had some hope in his heart, shouted around again, but still didn't get any response.

After observing that there was no other information around him, Naruto immediately ran towards the only corridor in the space that led to the outside.

It was an upward path, and after running forward for quite some time, it finally came to a platform.

As soon as Naruto's feet stepped on the carefully carved square platform, the platform immediately floated upward.

When the platform stopped, Naruto's vision suddenly cleared.

It turned out that he had been deep underground just now, and at this moment he had just come to the surface.

Towering over Naruto were a myriad of dazzling towers that reached into the sky, with circular or hexagonal cross-sections, crisscrossed by bridges between towers.

Looking up, there are countless brown cables in the sky that look like electric wires to set up the entire city.

In the midst of these towers, Naruto could only describe the surprise in his heart with "how amazing".

"It's so high..."

Naruto looked at the tall tower facing him in the depths of the street, this tower was obviously much taller than the others, and it was definitely the tallest building Naruto had ever seen since he was a child.

"Hey..."

"Hey..."

Just as Naruto stood on the street and sighed, a small voice came from the side.

Naruto turned his head to see a man in a long red dress and a small green vest greeting him from the shadows under the tower.

This person wrapped a black scarf around her face, making it difficult to see her appearance, but the meaning of beckoning again and again was still obvious.

Naruto glanced left and right, there was no one else on the street but himself, but he still pointed at himself a little sneeringly, trying to ask if he was calling himself.

The man in the shadows nodded, and this time Naruto was finally sure he was calling himself.

Naruto ran over, but as soon as he ran in front of him, he stretched out a cutlass from behind and aimed it at Naruto.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you come out of the Queen's mausoleum?"

"Hey, hey! This thing is dangerous..."

Naruto raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, it wasn't that Naruto couldn't subdue the person in front of him, but judging from the way this person used his weapon, Naruto didn't think that this person had the ability to pose a threat to himself.

This is an ordinary person.

"I'm a ninja from Konoha and I'm here on a mission."

"Konoha ninjas?"

The man with the black cloth on his face was still a little suspicious, so Naruto raised the forehead guard on his head with his hand, which was very obvious Konoha logo.

"Konoha Ninja, I believe in your identity for the time being, but what is the mission of your coming here?"

"And why did you come out of the tomb of the previous queen?"

The masked man was very vigilant, but with Naruto's clumsy tongue, he couldn't explain what was going on.

Besides, Naruto himself was confused by this situation, why a ruin that was swallowed up by yellow sand a second ago suddenly became this city made of magnificent towers.

Suddenly, there was a sound of Yoyo flying in the air, and the masked man immediately grabbed Naruto's wrist in alarm.

"Follow me!"

Before Naruto could think, he was dragged by the masked man and fled into the distance.

And around the platform where Naruto had risen to the surface just now, three puppets slowly descended from the sky, scanning the surroundings.

If you look closely, the shape of these golems is very similar to the shape of the puppet that attacked Naruto in the ruins.

...

Led by the masked man, Naruto was taken to the edge of the city.

The buildings here are much inferior to the magnificent towers in the center of the city, and they are all tightly packed with rough buildings like yellow sand fortresses.

However, compared to the emptiness of the city streets, there was still a slight popularity here, and as soon as the masked man and Naruto came in, someone came up to ask about it.

"Masako, have you seen the Queen?"

A short, stocky woman with a somewhat silly appearance walked over to the masked man and asked, but the masked man shook his head regretfully.
