Chapter 110 Dragon Vein Chakra, 99% Complete, a Rare Item!
In the distance, Izumi slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and gently covered his forehead.
The memories accumulated in his mental imprint during this period flowed into his mind like a gentle stream.
Scenes flashed before his eyes, and it took him a few breaths to use [Optimization] to eliminate the effects before he could fully process them.
He lowered his hand, turned to look at Ye Cang beside him, and said in a calm and decisive tone: "Let's go, we've finished things here."
He had no intention of seeing Yashamaru, because there was absolutely no need.
The spiritual imprint has been updated, and the seal has been re-secured. Everything that needed to be done has been done; any unnecessary actions would only increase the risk of exposure.
As for the man who secretly transmits intelligence, maintaining the status quo is the best course of action.
"Gaara's future strength is quite good." As Izumikawa took a step forward, he casually added, "He's also someone we can win over; it wouldn't be a loss to train him."
Ye Cang gave a soft "hmm" and followed behind him without asking any further questions.
Like two shadows blending into the night, the two silently passed through the walls of Sunagakure and stepped onto the boundless sand outside the village.
The moonlight remained cold and clear, and the sand dunes rippled gently in the night breeze, making a soft rustling sound.
Soon, the two arrived behind a high sand dune. Izumi formed hand seals, and as smoke rose, he summoned a skeletal dragon and entered it.
The giant dragon's bone wings unfolded and suddenly flapped, stirring up a gust of air mixed with fine sand.
The skeletal dragon soared into the sky and flew towards Loulan, quickly turning into a tiny white dot and disappearing into the end of the moonlight.
Several days later, deep in the desert.
A touch of green appeared on the horizon, followed by a massive city, standing alone deep in the yellow sand.
As the skeletal dragon drew closer, the towering towers and buildings came into clear view of Izumi and Yokura.
"What a quiet city." Ye Cang frowned slightly. "And it's already starting to fall into disrepair. It seems like no one is taking care of it, and no one lives there."
Quanchuan's gaze swept over the empty streets and dusty buildings, his tone flat: "This is Loulan, a city that survives by relying on the power of the dragon vein."
"But the dragon vein was both its strength and its weakness. Without the support of the dragon vein's power, this kingdom has no choice but to perish."
Minato has been dead for two years. This place, Loulan, was a place Minato had visited before he became the Fourth Hokage, when he was on a mission.
The Sand Villager, who came from the future, used the alias An Lushan to control the country for six years. He controlled the former queen, constantly kidnapped residents, and frantically developed puppet regimes.
Ultimately, he was defeated by Minato and Naruto, and the Dragon Vein was completely sealed away.
Without its population and the power of its dragon vein, this once glorious city could no longer be sustained.
"Dragon vein?" Ye Cang murmured softly. She didn't know what a dragon vein was.
She could only vaguely recall hearing the name of this ancient country somewhere before.
"Found it!" Izumi suddenly exclaimed.
He controlled the skeletal dragon to traverse the city, precisely to sense the location of the sealed dragon vein.
Just now, he sensed the presence of a living person.
It must be Queen Sarah.
The skeletal dragon stopped circling above the city and flew straight toward a building inside.
Along the way, the traces left by past battles were shocking.
The collapsed towers, shattered streets, and scattered puppet remains lay haphazardly in the yellow sand, their surfaces already covered with a thin layer of sand.
If another ten years or so pass, the sandstorms will likely be enough to completely engulf this city, erasing all traces of its existence.
"It's a bit of a shame about this city." Izumi's gaze swept over the dilapidated buildings.
He secretly thought to himself, "I'll reactivate it when the time comes and store it in the Divine Might Space in the future."
Rather than letting it be eroded by wind and sand and eventually buried deep in the desert, we might as well make use of it.
-
As for what the future holds, the flapping of his butterfly wings has already led the story down a different path.
Like a branch outside the sacred timeline in the Marvel Universe, one of countless parallel universes, it has long since drifted further and further away from the original trajectory.
The skeletal dragon slowly descended and stopped in the plaza in front of a tall building.
Izumikawa and Yekura emerged, a slightly scorching wind blowing from the depths of the desert, brushing against the hem of their clothes.
Their footsteps rustled softly on the sand before they stepped onto the stone steps and entered the building.
Silence, emptiness, ruin!
Only their own footsteps echoed in the empty hall, occasionally mingled with the sound of the wind from afar, like the final sigh of this dead city.
"Are there really people here?" Yekura looked around at the completely deserted environment, finding it hard to believe.
Such a vast city, even a country, is about to disappear quietly.
Izumi's right eye bulged with veins, and his Byakugan activated. His gaze pierced through layers of walls and floors, extending towards the location of the living person he sensed.
Sure enough, it was Queen Sara, who was still guarding the country and the location of the seal.
"There are still people protecting us," Izumi said, continuing in the same direction, leading Yekura deeper into the building.
The faint sound of footsteps echoed through the empty building, traveling down layer by layer until it reached Sarah's ears deep inside.
Sarah looked up in the direction the sound came from, a look of confusion in her eyes.
Is it possible that outsiders are still coming to this country that has long been forgotten by the world?
After the dragon vein was sealed, she dispersed the remaining people, sending them to other countries to live and seek new paths.
Even so, there is still a group of people who choose to remain loyal to her and continue to send her supplies.
Her people enabled the queen to continue living in Loulan, guarding this last piece of land.
But today wasn't the day they were supposed to deliver supplies. Besides, the route they were taking was in the wrong direction.
The footsteps grew closer.
Sarah put down the book in her hand, stood up, and calmly looked at the long corridor leading to the outside world in the darkness.
Who is it?
Sarah did not hide from the unknown visitors, but chose to face them head-on.
She stood at the bottom of the stairs, in front of the door leading to the seal, watching two figures slowly walk out of the darkness.
Footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, one after another, steady and clear.
A man and a woman, both extremely young. The man, with white hair and wearing sunglasses, walked at the front, his pace unhurried and his demeanor composed; he was clearly the one in charge.
The woman had long hair that faded from black to green at the ends, with bangs hanging down her forehead. She followed quietly behind him, presumably as his attendant or subordinate.
"Halt!" Sarah's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness. "This is the Kingdom of Loulan. What is the purpose of your visit?"
She stood there, her back straight, her gaze calmly fixed on the person who had arrived.
As the Queen of Loulan, even though her kingdom was no longer what it once was, she still protected this last piece of land and the dragon vein seal behind her.
Faced with an unexpected visitor, she did not back down but chose to confront it head-on.
Izumi stopped in her tracks.
He looked at the now-mature Sarah in front of him, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
Time has imbued her with a unique quality, not a delicate beauty, but a resilience that stands tall despite the hardships she has endured.
However, he merely shook his head slightly in his heart.
The courage is commendable, but it's meaningless.
She posed no threat to him whatsoever, and was even—a key to him.
The bloodline of the Loulan royal family possesses the power to sense and control the dragon veins.
"Thank you for nature's gifts," Izumi whispered softly, her voice so low that only she could hear it.
Sarah frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. Just as she was about to ask again, she saw the other person slowly take off their sunglasses.
One red, one white, a pair of heterochromatic eyes. In the scarlet pupil, three tomoe slowly rotate.
The moment Sara's gaze fell upon that Sharingan, her consciousness seemed to plunge into a bottomless vortex.
Her body froze on the spot, her eyes vacant, and her once resolute expression was gradually replaced by emptiness.
"Illusion magic is still the most useful," Izumi thought to himself, and continued walking. "Just one glare is enough to solve most problems."
He walked toward Sarah, and as he passed her, she turned around silently, like a puppet on a string, and followed behind him.
Yekura remained silent. Since Izumi had spared this woman's life, he must have a purpose for her. She simply followed quietly.
The three walked through the long corridor and entered the last door deep inside, finally arriving at the location of the dragon vein seal.
The ground was covered with complex and precise sealing incantations, layer upon layer, densely spreading across the entire wall.
The patterns, the layout, and the way the chakra flowed all felt incredibly familiar to Izumi.
The sealing method of the Uzumaki clan.
The seal that Minato set up back then used a secret technique of the Uzumaki clan that he learned from Kushina.
Every stroke, every node, every turn, carries the unique style of the Whirlpool Clan.
Izumi stood before the seal, his gaze sweeping over each spell, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Found it."
Without any hesitation, he formed hand seals and pressed them down towards the seal.
"untie!"
He gave a low shout.
The seal patterns on the ground seemed to come alive, gradually fading away and revealing a crack.
Beneath that crack, a powerful aura was surging—the power of the Dragon Vein Chakra.
Purple chakra gradually overflowed from the seal. Izumikawa reached out and gathered it into a ball, then took a deep breath.
【optimization】!
His spiritual energy swept over it, refining it, revealing a look of immersive enjoyment. He opened his eyes and stared down below, quite moved.
"Nine-nine percent perfection, that's a rare find!"
This chakra, containing the properties of space and time, was only a small clump. It was refined and absorbed, then integrated into the eyes.
He then felt a sense of control over space and an increase in power.
