Chapter 504: Loulan

False lies: Showing off one's abilities, strengths, or achievements through words in order to arouse the envy and admiration of others, commonly known as hard blowing, and easy to puncture.

True lies: Carry out some trivial processing on the past resume, and arouse the envy and worship of others through half-truths and half-truths, commonly known as soft blowing, and it is not easy to be punctured.

Thinking of the upcoming task, Jiu Sinai clenched his hands into fists, looked at the sun in the distance, and his eyes seemed to be lit with flames, "Little S-level mission, easy to win!" ”

Hearing this guy's honey-like confident speech, the people and cats behind her couldn't help but look at each other, and they both fell silent.

"Hey!"

Jiu Sinai crossed his hands and looked behind him, urging, "At your current speed, how long will it take to reach Loulan?" If the seal is not strengthened, the interests of the village will not be protected. ”

"Yes! Be! ”

Asuka replied absentmindedly, then put his hands behind his back to speed up his journey.

"What are you thinking?"

Sensing that the bird next to him seemed to be distracted, Fat Fat swept the leaves off his body with his tail and asked, "Since this morning, I have seen that you seem to have something on your mind."

"I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you when I figure it out."

After saying that, Asuka frowned and thought about it again.

After he saw the information introduction of "Dragon Vein" and "Loulan", a long-term memory emerged from his mind, which was from the memory before the time travel, because the time was too long, causing many places in the memory to become blurred.

But if Asuka remembers correctly, there should be a traitor from the Sand Hidden Village, who broke the seal left by the four generations, and then absorbed the power of the dragon vein, and took Naruto to travel to the past.

And at the past point in time, I met Bo Feng Shuimen and others.

The two sides join forces to thwart someone's plot.

This is also in line with the mission report he saw before he left.

The mission report details everything that happened in Loulan, and although some places have hidden key information, it focuses on "mysterious people".

"The Bo Feng Shuimen team joined forces with the mysterious people to defeat the careerist An Lushan."

Thinking of the mysterious person mentioned in the report, Asuka naturally knew that it should be Naruto Uzumaki, and the fourth Hokage was afraid of chaos in the future, so he didn't mention the other party too much.

But.

"Isn't the seal supposed to go wrong in a dozen years? Why is there a problem now? ”

Asuka kneaded his chin with one hand and muttered, "Could it be that the sealing technique of the fourth generation is really not good?" No, I think he's pretty quick at summoning the Grim Reaper.

Or is the dragon vein too powerful that Konoha needs to send a good ninja every few years to stabilize the seal? ”

"What are you muttering in the back?"

At this time, Kushina suddenly stopped, stood firmly on the branch with both feet, then turned to look behind him, and asked with a frown.

"Nothing!"

He shook his head and walked a few steps quickly, and when he passed by Jiu Xinnai's side, he asked coldly, "Is the sealing technique of the fourth generation of the purpose good?" ”

Hearing this, Jiu Sinai was stunned for a moment.

Then, I saw her look up and down at the birds, and sneered.

"What do you think of the concubine body sealing technique?"

Asuka blinked and spoke.

"General!"

Kushina's eyes widened, then he pointed forward and said indignantly.

"Uninformed soil buns, you roll the concubine! Get out of here! ”

Seeing her face flushed, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Asuka shrugged his shoulders and said a little innocently, "It's really ordinary, Lord Kushina, do you know the first generation?"

Back then, the sealing technique that the first generation of eyes exhibited, that strong horse.

And there are stronger Six Dao Immortals, it is said that he slapped his hands and the moon"

"Fuck your uncle!"

“.”

The Land of the Winds, the East.

The preciousness of an oasis in this water-scarce desert is self-evident, and the desert here is extremely empty, with only one oasis in the center within a radius of thousands of miles.

The Loulan mentioned in the mission is on that oasis.

With its strong military capabilities, Loulan has not only succeeded in occupying an oasis in the desert, but especially ten years ago, due to the policies pursued by the careerist "An Lushan", Loulan's military strength has been significantly improved, and it has gradually shown its potential to threaten the five major powers.

The last country that threatened the interests of the five great powers, called the Land of Rain, is crippled

In the face of the powerful Loulan, even the village of Shayin, one of the five major powers, did not want to end up alone, but chose to pull Konoha and join hands to deal with the growing military strength of the country.

However, after Bo Feng Shuimen completed the task, for some reason, he did not publicize this matter, causing Shayin Village to take all the credit for himself.

It is also one of the five major ninja villages, and in order to save face, Sand Hidden Village naturally does not want to admit that it still needs to rely on the power of Konoha when eliminating the threat.

However, it didn't take long for the three generations of Kazekage to take the credit

A day later.

The oasis where Loulan is located is already close at hand.

Standing on the sand dunes, the birds can even clearly see the towering buildings on the oasis, which are unique to Loulan and are a major feature of the country.

"Is that Loulan?"

At this time, Kushina walked over, she looked at the tower-like buildings in the distance, and exclaimed, "There used to be such a prosperous city in the desert.

This is no worse than the country of the Wind seen in the photo, it's hard to imagine how they did it. ”

Staring at the oasis in the distance for a while, Asuka frowned and poured cold water on her on the spot.

"Maybe the city used to be bustling, but not now."

Hearing this, Jiu Sinai was stunned for a moment.

She followed Asuka's gaze and carefully observed the city, her face changed, "Is the oasis disappearing?" The concubine seems to have seen the wind and sand invading the city. ”

Well!

Looking at the sand invading the street, Asuka nodded slightly.

Although sand is often blown in oases located in the desert, the fact that sand of this magnitude appears on the streets without being cleaned up is already telling.

As the group entered the city, Jiu Sinai suddenly became quiet, as quiet as Loulan today.

It was morning.

The sun had not yet reached its hottest level, and it was supposed to be the time for the desert dwellers to move, but the wide streets were sparsely populated by pedestrians.

In Kushina's vision, the streets should not be so deserted, if not crowded.

The feeling given to her here is exactly the same as that of the country of vortex back then, and there are few people who are pitiful.

But the problem is that the country of Vortex is a country made up of whirlpools, and the main inhabitants are the whirlpools. And now where they are, it's a real country.

"Have you ever been to Loulan?"

She tugged at the bird's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "The geography book of the concubine body says that Loulan is a country with a population of nearly 70,000, but looking at the size of this population, it would be good to have 40,000. ”

"Haven't been!"

Asuka shook his head, then looked up.

Konoha's geography books are all versions from many years ago, mainly for ninja school children to improve their cognition and use as a reference.

As far as he knows, five years ago, Loulan was called a medium-sized country.

What does it mean to be a medium-sized country?

It has a certain military strength, a certain number of ninjas, or a military strength of the size of a general medium-sized ninja village, as well as . The sheer size of the population provides for its basic financial needs.

But for now.

Many of the shops in the surrounding area have been closed, and judging by the cobwebs on the doors, these shops should have been closed for no less than a year, and those that are still open are also sparsely populated, and it is clear that they are not far from closing.

Asuka carefully observed the civilians around him, and found that their mental state was very sluggish, as if they had lost their vitality and enthusiasm for life, like the walking dead, just going through each day mechanically.

"Let's go!" After silently writing down the situation here, he took a deep breath, looked sideways to the side, and said, "Go directly to the seal. Sealed."

Before he could say the last word "seal", he found that the place where Kushina was standing just now was empty, and even the orange cat that was still shaking the sand at his feet just now had disappeared.

Birds:???

Then, I saw him look up at the clear blue sky, and said speechlessly, "What else is there to see in this desert except that the sky is a little bluer than other places?" Are canned scorpions really delicious?

The clothes in the desert don't look good!!

I don't understand those two!! ”

As he spoke, the bird disappeared into the street.

Where the three of them were standing just now, there happened to be a breeze blowing.

The wind carried a large expanse of fine sand, as if consciously, completely burying their footprints in the sand.

The sand on the streets gradually increased in the breeze, and the civilians who lived there did not seem to notice, or even if they did, they chose to ignore it, allowing the wind and sand to slowly erode the city.
