Open Treasure Chest Through Konoha

Scorpion seemed to think about it, and nodded: "I don't have many puppets to use now. It's really troublesome to be alone. Since you are willing to help, then come together. As a reward, I can help you build a batch of ninja tools. I I still have some experience with it.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Akatsuki organization does not have too many restrictions on the actions of the members of the organization. As long as the assigned tasks are successfully completed, they can go out at will according to their own wishes, so they do not need to report to Payne when they travel far.

That afternoon, Bai Mingyu followed Xie and left the Kingdom of Grass stronghold.

In addition to Deidara, there is also Izumi Uchiha.

As for Jun Malu, he was left in the stronghold, staying with the ice clone left by Bai Mingyu.When I went out a few times before, I missed the tasks assigned by the organization, and Ye Cang completed them all by himself. Although Nusha Ren didn't say anything, Bai Mingyu was still a little embarrassed and left an ice clone. If it's something, it's easy to do.

The distance from the Country of Grass to Loulan is not too far.

On the way, Bai Mingyu inquired about some news from Xie, and finally realized why he thought the place name Loulan sounded familiar to him.

In the original book, this place did appear.

And it seems to be related to something - dragon veins.

In the background of the original story, the dragon vein is called the lifeblood of the earth. It is said that it contains an incalculable amount of chakra. If it is used carelessly, it may even destroy the entire earth.Because it was sealed by the Fourth Hokage during the execution of the mission twenty years ago, and it has been silent since then, so Bai Mingyu has traveled in the ninja world for so long, and he has never heard it mentioned by others.

The reason why Xie knew this place was because he had been there once when he was a child.

Speaking of...

Scorpion's actual age is actually almost forty years old, but because he started to transform his body when he was a teenager, from the original flesh and blood body to the current puppet body, leaving only A small part of body tissue in the lower heart is used to maintain the operation of chakra, so the face looks much younger, but the experience and knowledge are far from comparable to others.

According to Xie, Loulan was once a fairly prosperous country.

Because there are a lot of mineral resources buried under the land around this place, many of which are rare ores like chakra conductive metal.The people of Loulan Kingdom have accumulated a lot of wealth just by mining ore for many years.Moreover, it also has quite good smelting technology, and it has produced a group of excellent craftsmen, which used to be an important source of purchasing ninja tools in Shayin Village.

As Shayin's genius puppet master, Xie naturally came into contact with these things, and thus knew of Loulan's existence.

but……

"That country no longer exists now."

Scorpion narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling his previous experience: "About ten years ago, when the third Ninja World War broke out, Loulan Kingdom was destroyed because of its involvement in the Ninja World War. The cities in the city sank into the ground, and the mining mines were abandoned one after another. The daimyo of the land of winds once wanted to send troops to annex the Loulan ruins, but the place was so damaged that there were only ruins left. Even if the mining of the mines was barely resumed, The gain outweighs the loss, so I had to give up.

After I left Hidden Sand Village, I went to that place once, and used puppets to mine some rare ores, but I couldn't go deep. "

"is it?"

Bai Mingyu thought for a while, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "When I was in Konoha, I once looked through Anbu's mission records. It seems...the Fourth Hokage went to Loulan when he was young?"

This sentence is of course made up.

But among the few people present, only he and Quan were from Konoha, and even if Quan knew the truth, he would definitely not tell the truth, so Bai Mingyu was not worried about being exposed.

What's more, this is a fact.

"Golden flash... Yes, that man has indeed been to Loulan."

Scorpion nodded without denying it: "I don't know much about that matter. It is said that before the fall of Loulan, there was an ambitious man who wanted to seize power in that country. Queen Loulan asked Konoha for help, so the third Hokage sent A team of jounin went to perform the mission, including Namikaze Minato, who had not yet become Hokage. Actually, what I was interested in was related to him.”

"Ok?"

Bai Mingyu turned his head and took a look.

"Dragon vein."

Xie seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying the term: "The reason why Loulan is rich in minerals is because deep in the ancient city of Loulan, there is a huge energy crystal called 'dragon vein'. It is a The nearly endless chakra, even if it is only a small part overflowing from the cracks in the ground, is enough to maintain the operation of the entire Loulan Kingdom. The goal of the ambitious man who tried to control Loulan is also here. But that guy's plan failed in the end , and the dragon vein was also sealed by the fourth Hokage's sealing formula, I tried to crack it, but failed."

"..."

Bai Mingyu probably understood what was going on.

It seems that Scorpion also had plans for Dragon Vein.

This is also normal. After all, dragon veins are comparable to the power of tailed beasts. Unless it is a human-shaped tailed beast like Kisame, no one will think that they have too much chakra.As for Scorpion, if he can control the power of Dragon Vein Chakra, his puppetry can be further refined, even breaking through the limit of a hundred machines, and it is not impossible to control thousands of puppets at the same time.

It's just that Scorpion can't break the seal of the fourth generation.

After all, the sealing technique of the fourth generation was learned from Kushina, and the latter inherited the inheritance of the Uzumaki family. The sealing technique laid down is naturally not so easy to be unraveled.Although Xie is a shadow-level puppeteer, he is not proficient in sealing techniques, and the sealing techniques of other villages are far from comparable to the Uzumaki clan in terms of the strength and complexity of the techniques.

But no matter how strong the seal is, it will loosen over time.

Now, nearly twenty years later, it is hard to say how much effect those sealing techniques can maintain.

"It seems that..."

Maybe I also have a chance to get a share?

Bai Mingyu lowered his eyes slightly, his thoughts surging.

He has no idea of ​​becoming Jinchuriki. Although sealing the tailed beast in his body means that he will get a huge amount of chakra, it will also bring countless troubles, not to mention that once the tailed beast is pulled out If you go out, Jinjuriki will die.But the dragon vein chakra is a little different. The level of power of this thing is no less than that of the nine tailed beasts, and it has no consciousness itself, it is just an extremely pure chakra.

And judging from the situation in the original book, it seems that the compatibility is still very mild.

Even an ordinary person like Queen Loulan who doesn't have any ninjutsu ability can control it with the power of blood.

If you get it... Maybe it will be a big benefit to yourself.

Chapter five hundred and sixtieth the first

For Bai Mingyu, the amount of chakra is not his shortcoming.

At least not like Kakashi, who has been in a state of insufficient mana all year round. Every time a battle starts, he starts to calculate his remaining chakra...

And because of the cultivation of the Thunder Dungeness Exercise and the further development of the Thunderbolt Fruit in all aspects of the body, Bai Mingyu's physique is actually much stronger than when he first left Konoha.But this kind of "strength" is only relative to ordinary people.If compared with monsters like the Uzumaki clan or the dried persimmon ghost shark, it can be said to be far away.

In fact, even Jiraiya, who doesn't have a blood successor limit, has much more chakras than the current Bai Mingyu.

Although the main reason is that Zilai has been practicing hard day and night for decades, coupled with the hard guidance of the two immortals of Miaomu Mountain.But obviously, Bai Mingyu still has a lot of room for improvement in this regard.

only……

If you get the dragon vein, it will be a problem.

Bai Mingyu didn't know much about dragon veins.

Although seen in the original book, it is not clear what its source is.

It is impossible for such a large group of chakras to appear out of thin air, but if it is really "the lifeblood of the earth" or something, it sounds too mysterious-Bai Mingyu knows very well how big this world is, far beyond the surface From the looks of it, even if we only talk about the continent of Ninja World, it is already vast enough.Although the energy contained in the dragon's veins is astonishing, it has not yet reached the point where it can affect the entire continent, at most it is comparable to a tailed beast.

In addition, Bai Mingyu didn't know much about the sealing technique.

How to break the seal of the fourth generation, he still has no idea.

But the scorpion came prepared.

A few months ago, a fierce conflict broke out between the Akatsuki Organization and Wuyin Village near the former site of Uzumaki Country.

The reason for this is related to the heritage of the Uzumaki family. It is said that a large number of secret art scrolls buried underground were discovered in the place where the Uzumaki family once lived, most of which are related to the sealing technique.As a result of the battle, both sides were injured, and the batch of secret art scrolls was also split into two, one half was snatched away by Wu Yin, and the other half was brought back to Xiao Organization by Scorpion and Didara.

During this process, Scorpion copied a part of the sealing technique and carried it with him.

On the way to Loulan country, when I stopped to rest and eat, I would take it out from time to time to look through it.

Bai Mingyu took the opportunity to lean over and take a glance, and saw a dense array of spells drawn on the paper, and next to it were written various rather complicated calculation formulas, the kind that made people feel dizzy at first glance.

"These formulas...do you understand?"

"Part of it."

Scorpion nodded, and replied: "Some parts need repeated deduction to understand, but most of them can still be understood."

"……All right."

Bai Mingyu smiled and clicked his tongue a little.

The sealing technique is the most complicated among all ninjutsu. Compared with the five-element escape technique that can be released after repeated training after mastering the correct sealing method, combined with the flow trajectory of chakra, the sealing technique is opposite to the technique. The format is extremely demanding.Among them, the difficult sealing techniques such as the eight trigrams seal and the King Kong blockade often require hundreds of spells to support, and the appearance of each spell is different, just write down all the spells, It will take a lot of effort, not to mention using them proficiently on the basis of understanding the rules of the spells.

Therefore, the fourth generation can learn so many sealing techniques from Kushina, which is also inseparable from his own talent.

Even if ordinary people have the guidance of a master, it is difficult to make breakthroughs in this area.

But then again.

Sealing is different from enchantment.

Since it is a "seal", it means that it is internal. The main purpose of sealing the "dragon vein" of the fourth generation is to avoid the catastrophic consequences of the chakra overflow of the "dragon vein". As for the restrictions on the dragon veins, as for the outside, if the technique has been loosened, maybe it is also an idea to directly use violence to crack it.

stop-and-go.

On the afternoon of the second day after departure, Bai Mingyu and others finally arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

Led by Scorpion, I walked forward along the desert for several hours, and saw a pile of wreckage of different heights at the far end of the horizon, which seemed to be the ruins of some kind of huge building, viewed from above the towering sand dunes. Go, it is very eye-catching.

"That's the ancient city of Loulan."

Xie said: "The scale of Loulan Kingdom is small, and there is only this main city, but because of the prosperity of business, it has attracted people from many surrounding countries to come here, and the buildings in the city are generally very tall. Buried by the wind and sand."

While speaking, the ruins were gradually approaching.

Suddenly, Bai Mingyu and Xie stopped at the same time.

"Wait a moment……"

When Quan saw Bai Mingyu's movements, he immediately stopped, but Didala turned around strangely: "What's wrong?"

Bai Mingyu didn't make a sound, just glanced at Xie, who leaned over and pulled the sand away from his feet with his hands, losing the cover of the yellow sand, a transparent metal wire appeared on the ground.

"This is……"

"Stand back a little bit."

Scorpion turned his head and said.

Bai Mingyu nodded, pulled Quan aside for more than ten meters, Xie squinted his eyes and looked around for a while, then took out a kunai from his bosom, and threw it forward with all his strength!The sharp Kunai plunged into a piece of sand not far in front of him, and after just a few seconds, he saw a burst of fire bursting out!Immediately afterwards, five or six fires rose in different directions at the same time!

Detonator.

"Did someone else get here first and then set up an ambush?"

Bai Mingyu glanced at the scorpion, and at the same time silently used the power of the thunderous fruit, following a light blue arc of lightning in his eyes, the invisible and substanceless electric field lines spread out in all directions, counting the radius in the blink of an eye. You can have a panoramic view of the scenery within a kilometer: "...No one?"
