Wind Shadow Raksha is famous for his magnetic escape, and this protective shield made of dust gold even a crane can't even be broken in a short time, but now, it is like tissue paper, and it can't bring any sense of security to Sand Shinobi.

The giant beast peeping out of the window made them tremble when it only showed one eye.

「……」

The four generations of Kazekage also froze in place, not making any movement.

The sand shinobi beside him regarded that eye as the eye of an unknown monster, but he knew that it was Orochimaru, and the banter and ridicule in his eyes were too familiar.

Luo Sha is not worried about his own life, and as one of the collaborators of the transaction, he may not even be able to fight in a performance battle.

But even so, I knew that nothing would happen...... The body did not obey the call at all, as if facing the tailed beast alone with the body of a mortal, which was the gap between the life levels.

「……」

The atmosphere inside the protective shield became more and more depressing, and invisibly, a string became more and more tense, and the muscles on the sand ninja's bodies contracted to the extreme, as if they would attack desperately in the next moment.

However, the monsters outside suddenly looked away, as if they had lost interest in them.

But the sand ninjas didn't dare to be careless, and everyone's eyes turned to the wind shadow.

Luo Sha covered his left eye with one hand and whispered in his heart, "Eye of Sand!"

When he did it, he was still a little weird in his heart, and his quick response was not all due to his acting skills.

Outside the shield, a cobblestone floated in the air, and it spun around for half a circle, opening its eyes to its target.

I saw that a layer of sand had been covered with Loulan, and in it, an earthy yellow giant snake slowly swam away, and the patio-like storm overhead was also moving.

「……」

Inside the protective shield, the fourth-generation Wind Shadow Luo Sha dispersed the "Eye of Sand" and reopened his eyes with irrepressible shock in his gaze.

One of the sand shinobi couldn't wait to ask, "Kazekage-sama, what's going on outside?"

Raksha waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's gone."

As if to confirm Kazekage's words, it didn't take long for the wind to whistle again, and the scene from the window was once again obscured by the wind and sand.

It's a bit ironic to say, this disaster-like scene made the sand ninjas jealous before, but at this time it brought them a sense of security.

After a moment of silence, Ye Cang suddenly asked, "Kazekage-sama, what exactly is that thing?" It seems to ...... No hostility towards us?"

This is a very unusual thing.

In the perception of almost all ninjas, giant creatures often have a violent nature that matches their size, and it may not matter if they are not provoked, but if you get close to them at a certain distance, you will almost certainly suffer a violent blow.

The representative figure is the tailed beast.

Decades, hundreds of years ago, there was no suitable sealing technique in the ninja world, but the ancestors of the former Sand Hidden Village had forcibly locked Shouhe in the village.

They don't know how much of a risk there is, but if they let it go unchecked, the damage will be even more severe.

The desert is the home of Shouhe, and a game that starts at the slightest can destroy the homes that ordinary people rely on to survive.

However, even with such a stereotype, Hakura had to admit that the giant beast just now was different, not the same type as Shouhe.

"This kind of thing can't be presumptuously judged."

Wind Shadow Luo Sha looked at the wind and sand outside the window, and sighed sincerely,

"What's more, even if there is no malice, he can completely destroy the entire Sand Hidden just by "passing by".

Sand Shinobi nodded, his expression agreeing.

"This monster can't be provoked at the moment, and it seems that the deal with Queen Loulan will have to be done in a different way."

Kazekage Raksha's gaze turned to Hakura, "You go back to the village now and tell Elder Chiyo what happened here, and she will need her cooperation in the future."

"Okay, I see." Ye Cang nodded slightly, but he was surprised that the Wind Shadow didn't tell him what plans he had in the future.

gauze

Of course, Sand won't tell Hakura that during the execution of this mission, the other party was just a messenger who ran away.

……

After the storm, the sky was clear.

The scorching sun dried up the moisture on the ground and sprinkled the dryness on the earth.

The people of Loulan, who left the underground shelter, repeated yesterday's work, such as simply tidying up their homes so that they could rest tonight.

Of course, the meeting was the same as yesterday, and even because of the presence of outsiders and unnecessary expectations, the time was increased a lot, and almost after a little rectification, they gathered, and at the same time sent people to find the sand ninja and his party.

Conference room.

It's still yesterday's room, but the roof is missing, and the sunlight is shining without reservation.

The people of Loulan were sweating profusely, anxiously waiting for Fengying and his party, looking out of the door, almost as soon as they saw the figure appear, they greeted them.

The middle-aged man asked, "Kazekage-sama, I wonder if you saw the monster in the yellow sand, and did you do anything to solve it?"

Luo Sha glanced at this person, turned his gaze to Queen Loulan, and said slowly, "That thing's strength is unfathomable, and rashly fighting it has caused huge losses to Shayin Village,"

"But it's not impossible, as long as you can pay a sufficient price."

"Do you have enough chips, though?"

"This ......" The middle-aged man was speechless for a while, how terrifying the monster that could easily destroy Loulan was, and what price it would have to pay to destroy this monster, he couldn't think of it.

"I wonder if the gold mine mentioned earlier is enough." Queen Loulan said at this time, "If you can attract the Wind Shadow to come in person, presumably the scale will not be a small fight."

Hearing this, the eyes of the Loulan people present lit up, but Feng Ying's next words directly poured a basin of cold water on them.

"That's not enough."

Wind Shadow Luo Sha spoke clearly, and slowly shook his head, "Although the gold mine under this is a bit large, if it is at the cost of fighting that monster, the value will be greatly reduced."

"In contrast, I, the Sand Hidden Village, would prefer to trade in money."

Queen Loulan was silent when she heard this, and the face of the Loulan people behind him was a little unsightly.

Indeed, if it is only for the gold mine, as long as the dragon vein is not in the way, then there are too many methods.

I heard that this fourth-generation wind shadow can control the gold dust, and he is also a good hand at mining, so he only needs to be in the absence of the yellow sand monster......

After a moment of silence, Queen Loulan spoke, "In that case...... Then please go back and rest first, and it must have taken a lot of energy to confront the monsters in the yellow sand."

"These are trivial, but ...... That's it." Kazekage Raksha nodded slightly, and said slowly as he left, "I hope Your Excellency the Queen will consider my proposal carefully."

「……」

Seeing Sha Yin and his party disappear into the wind and sand, Queen Loulan sighed lightly and looked back at the people behind her, "What do you think?"

The people of Loulan formed a half-circle, but their expressions were unusually silent.

In fact, when they saw Kazekage Raksha and the others, they had a bad premonition - that monster was so powerful, if a battle broke out, how could the clothes on their bodies be so clean.

But even so, they held out a glimmer of hope.

But now, that hope has been dashed.

And in the Land of Wind, the Sand Hidden Village is reluctant to make a move, who else can they count on?

"You don't have to look like this, the situation is much better than before."

Queen Loulan looked around and smiled, "The arrival of Shayin Village will bring us news, so that we will not wander around like headless flies."

"The underground gold mine gives us an additional source of funding, which is additional capital."

This relaxed and peaceful tone seemed very bright in front of today's anxious people, and almost instantly, that emotion infected everyone, and the stagnant and tense air eased slightly.

"Yes, yes, the Queen is right...... It's good now."

"We have the intelligence and the money, and we will definitely find a way out."

「

……」

Looking at everyone who had regained their strength, Queen Loulan exhaled softly, with a relieved smile on her face.

However, in the bottom of my heart, a deep sense of guilt lingered everywhere and lingered.

She is the queen of Loulan, and these people are her people.

But now she is playing with human nature, using poor information and lying to deceive them.

"I'm sorry...... I couldn't have done better."

The reason for the whole thing is that Orochimaru has taken a fancy to the dragon vein, and his strength, even with the addition of Sand Hidden Village, is difficult to resist.

Strong and weak, up and down, the ninja world is sometimes that simple.

Queen Loulan secretly clenched her fists, one day, the people of Loulan will also have the power that belongs to them.

To that end, we now have to move on to the next things.

Thinking of this, Queen Loulan looked at the people who were cheering each other on, "...... Although the desert is big, there are not many suitable places to live, but Shayin Village is one of them."

"Queen, do you want to?" Everyone's faces changed, and the middle-aged man said worriedly, "But is this okay?"

It may have been simple when the village was first established a few decades ago, but it is not so easy now, let alone a large-scale move like theirs.

"It's okay, there's always a way."

Queen Loulan shook her head, "I'll talk to them about these things."

……

The temporary post house has a nice name, but in fact it is just a house after a sandstorm, and it is simply installed with a door.

After Queen Loulan arrived, the four generations of Wind Shadow withdrew from their subordinates and said in a deep voice, "How? What's going on over there?"

"After a few sandstorms, they didn't have much reluctance to move to Sand Hidden Village."

Queen Loulan said frankly, "All the preparations have been made for the past two days, and then I will send back the news that we will be able to move tomorrow."

Assigning a few tasks in the name of migration is not difficult for her.

"I see...... You're really very resourceful."

Wind Shadow Luo Sha bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "No wonder Your Excellency Orochimaru, after spending so many means, you and Loulan must be protected."

These words were very ambiguous, Queen Loulan's face changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru does take a fancy to my ability, but it is not the same as what Your Excellency thinks."

"In the future, I and my subordinates will certainly live in Shayin Village, but don't think that you can belittle me so much."

"I'm sorry, it looks like I'm mistaken." As soon as the four generations of Kazekage looked straight, they quickly changed their words, and the change in attitude was rapid, and even the subordinates who were familiar with him would be greatly surprised.

"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding." Queen Loulan chewed the words and emphasized "this time".

"Of course...... the fourth generation of Wind Shadow nodded slightly, skipped this topic, and continued to discuss with Queen Loulan the matter of the relocation of the Loulan people to Shayin Village.

Looking at Queen Loulan, who had entered the state and seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasantness just now, Luo Sha breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Before, of course, it was not a gaffe, but a deliberate temptation.

After seeing the methods of Queen Loulan and uniting with the people of Loulan, Luo Sha, as the wind shadow, was very vigilant in his heart.

If that's all he wants, he's confident that he can hold it down, but if Orochimaru will give him unusual protection, it's hard to say.

But this kind of thing, going to Orochimaru to test it is simply seeking death, so the only way to explore it is here.

The current result made Luo Sha feel a little relieved, at least the woman in front of him didn't mean that.

……

"It's boring, stupid fellow."

Orochimaru listened to the relay of the lamp god, and a snake's face showed humane disdain.

"Don't say that, from his point of view, there is indeed a trace of truth in this speculation."

The god of lights floated in the air, his expression was very playful, and he teased,

"What if, after being a ninja for decades, people suddenly open their minds when they reach middle age, and they want to pass on their genes, no

Is it impossible, I think that queen is also quite temperamental......

"It's stupid."

Orochimaru's snake face slowly changed, and he had recovered a few human appearances through the immortal method, and his expression was as cold as ice, "This is simply insulting me."

"You're in a hurry, you're in a hurry, this reaction is too big......" The Lamp God shrugged, "Is it necessary to be so angry?"

"Don't say you don't understand." Orochimaru glanced coldly at the Lamp God, and said in a cold voice, "Knowledge and power, if you talk about these, it is very necessary to inherit and spread."

"But bloodlines and offspring are only the means by which mortals continue themselves, and my pursuit of eternal life will be endless, so why rely on these to continue myself."

"That's what I said, but that's not what I'm talking about......

The lamp god looked at Orochimaru, who had been turned into a magister, and shrugged helplessly, "Okay, you have a good reason to be angry if you are denied the meaning of life."

"Ruo Luo Sha has put all his energy into ninjutsu cultivation, and his achievements are more than that, but it's a pity that his heart is too mixed...... Don't talk about that."

Orochimaru finally regained his "half-human, half-snake" posture, and his gaze turned to the god of lights, "Earlier, you said that the first host was not a human, but just some kind of plant, can you elaborate on it?"

"Its abilities aren't for you."

The lamp god smiled, "He said that he is just an air purifier, and the so-called wish is just the instinct of the object, you should not treat him as a normal creature."

"But having said that, the plant itself is very compatible with the bloodline of the Otsuki clan."

Orochimaru shook his head, "It's me, now that I've completely fused with Bai Jue's genes, and the next step is to transplant the first generation of cells, which also contains the characteristics of the Divine Tree."

"I think you'd better think about it, maybe its abilities can really help."

"It's fine." The lantern god floated in the air, tilted his head and smiled, "But don't count on me, the success rate still depends on your means."

"I understand." Orochimaru nodded slightly.
