I sell sweets in Konoha

"Let's find another one." Tsunade said, "Go somewhere else."

I always feel a little bad...

I actually turned around, and I was able to earn so much in just these few rounds.It feels... feels like something bad is going to happen?

It really doesn't feel good.

'Did the Fourth Hokage really not think about it? 'Junko secretly looked at the Fourth Hokage beside her.Although some of the things I said were just out of curiosity.

But does Minato really have no reaction at all to the future?

Doesn't he want to know what will happen in the future?

Didn't the words I asked him already tell him what his future destiny would be?

Doesn't he have any idea about this matter?

This is a major matter related to his life and death.

"We'll be there soon." Minato suddenly spoke, standing on a tree in front of him and said, "We will reach the Loulan Kingdom through the desert in front of us."

The natural dividing line between Loulan and Konoha is the edge of the desert.

This side of Konoha is a lush, dense forest, while the other side of Loulan is a dry and hot sea of ​​sand!

In fact, Loulan Kingdom is closer to the Kingdom of Wind in terms of geographical environment and national culture.The two countries have many similarities in terms of humanities and geographical environment.

However, it was precisely because of too many similarities that Loulan Kingdom turned to Konoha instead of the Wind Kingdom.

Because compared to Konoha and Fire Country, it would be easier for Wind Country to annex Loulan Country.

"The climate of Loulan Country is different from that of Fire Country." Minato said, "Check the supplies."

After Kakashi said this, Lin and Obito all took out their own blades.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Minato said, "These things are secondary, the important thing is water!"

"Water?" Obito's head was full of questions.

"The desert is different from the forest." Junko explained for Minato: "Water is the most important material, bar none. In the desert, you must replenish water at any time."

"If you drink water when you feel thirsty, your body is already dehydrated."

In fact, water is a very important supply everywhere.

Even in the forest, how to obtain clean water is a very important knowledge.And this is even more true in the desert.

"First check whether your water bottle is full." Minato said, "Then check the ninja tools and food."

After saying this, these people started to check.

Just the water in the kettle is not enough. In fact, you need to carry a lot more water than you think.The main city of Loulan Kingdom and the only city in Loulan Kingdom is not close to here.

Junko brought rich water, but of course Minato didn't.

However, he set the coordinates of a nearby water source so that he could teleport directly there to get water if necessary.

This is much more convenient.

"From now on, we can no longer wear any Konoha symbols." Minato took off his forehead protector and said, "Everyone, remember, we are not ninjas from Konoha."

"If you are discovered, just say that you are a business traveler."

Business travel is really a good status, no matter in which era.It is an indispensable thing in doing business. Loulan Kingdom implements a policy of neutrality rather than a policy of seclusion.

Even if the country is locked down, there will still be business travelers coming and going.

So it is really okay to say that I am a foreign business traveler.

"Then what are our products?" Kakashi asked: "If there are no products, it will be easily exposed."

"Then just say that you are a traveling entertainer." Junko added: "Just do some juggling and say that you make money with a little bit of skill."

"In a word." Minato said: "You must not just admit that you are a ninja from Konoha."

The current situation is very troublesome. Don't admit that you are a ninja of Konoha unless necessary.

"That's right." Junko said, "After you go there, don't go out on the street, and don't complain. The first step is to pay attention to the pedestrians on the street."

"Is there any problem?" Lin asked curiously.

"Let's see if it's a pedestrian or a puppet." Junko said: "Although Baizu is just an ordinary puppet master, he can't perform a hundred-machine drill to destroy a country. But if he just fools people."

"He can still do some simple behaviors and movements."

Just like those useless NPCs in the game.There is no dialogue function and almost no interactive functions.The function is just to move according to very simple logic and routes.

The function is to tell the player that there are many people here.

The same is true for Baizu. Those puppets don't need any combat power, nor do they need to make any very complicated movements.He only needs these puppets to make some simple movements.

Anyway, he just needed to fool the poor little queen.

As for the little queen, she is just a poor thing trapped in a pavilion.The voices of the lower class people cannot be heard, and the wishes of the lower class people are not known.

I don't even know what the lower class people are...

Still not human.

Chapter 100 I stand on a high place

"Have they entered Loulan Kingdom?"

At the headquarters of Konohagakure, Danzo sat upright and drank a cup of tea and said, "It's not a good place to go."

The desert has never been a good place. Of course Danzo knew what he had to face, what he had to prepare for, and what he had to do when going to the desert.Fighting in the desert.

Sometimes what defeats you may not be your own enemies, but the extreme weather conditions in the desert.

"How are you collecting the information on Loulan Kingdom?" Danzo asked again, "About the issue of dragon veins."

"And that person named Lin Jiulang."

"My subordinates have collected them all." Gen handed over a thick book of information.

As the dark side of Konoha, roots are roots.If he doesn't take you seriously, you'll be fine. If he takes you seriously, Loulan will be almost defenseless in front of the Roots of Konoha.

About Loulan, about Dragon Vein, and about Lin Jiulang.

The Roots of Konoha are almost done.

Danzo looked through the information, and the description of the dragon veins was not particularly detailed.

"Is there any more detailed information?" Danzo looked through the information about dragon veins. This thing was what he was most interested in and wanted.The reason why the Fifth Hokage can appear in this era is entirely because of the dragon vein.

So maybe Danzo can also use something like Dragon Vein to do something.

"No more." Gen Nin replied truthfully: "About Dragon Vein, this is the only information and information we can find."

"The only person who knows much about dragon veins is Lin Jiulang. He designed some strange and huge equipment to harness the power of dragon veins."

"And how these huge devices work, we don't really know."

"But one thing is certain." Gen Ren said again: "The current Loulan Kingdom is not so much a country, or a city."

"Rather, it is a huge machine that revolves around the dragon vein."

Under Gen Ren's investigation, Loulan almost lost its functions as a city at this time.It's just that on the surface it looks like blooming flowers, but in fact it's a place that's hard to describe.

"Really?" Danzo half-closed his eyes.

There is no more detailed information about dragon veins, but it can only be seen from this fragment of information and a small part of the information about dragon veins.The price you need to pay to develop the power of dragon veins is not small.

This Lin Jiulang seems to have used his identity to hijack a country to develop dragon veins for him.

Although Danzo doesn't think he is a good person.

But the price...

It's really a big deal, but Danzo is not willing to do it.Even if this is another country, even if it is done regardless of force.In case someone gets caught.

This level of black spots is enough to make Konoha stand on the opposite side of the entire ninja world morally.

Konoha is not afraid of fighting, but it would be an endless battle without allies.

Konoha really thought twice.

"Is there any other news?" Danzo asked again.

"Jiraiya plans to go to the Land of Rain." Gennin replied: "He seems to be ready for this. He may enter the Land of Rain in the next few days."

"Huh?" Danzo suddenly felt a little interested and said, "Where is he going and what is he doing?"

After the Great Ninja War, the Country of Rain implemented a policy of seclusion. In some ways, the Country of Rain was like a country that was put in an iron box.

It's a bit airtight. People outside don't know what people inside are thinking, and people inside seem to be indifferent to people outside.

Regarding the secluded policy of the Rain Country, Danzo had nothing to say.

In some ways the Rain Country deserves it.

He almost fought against five major ninja villages with one person, and he would be damned if he didn't get beaten to the point of self-isolation.

If anything, Danzo felt that the Sandai's sanctions against the Land of Rain were not enough.Unless the country pays a price, they will not repent for their arrogance.

"Keep an eye on Jiraiya." Danzo immediately made his own decision and said, "I want to know everything about this kid's every move."

Danzo always felt that this might be an opportunity to plunge the Rain Ninja Village into eternal disaster.

Don’t think that just implementing a closed-door policy will be enough!

You have to pay for your actions!

"Is there any other news?" Danzo asked after making these decisions.

"Have!"

The Gen nin immediately took out a space scroll and placed it in front of Danzo.Opening it and unsealing it, the entire room was instantly filled with a rich aroma of barbecue.

"Oh?!" Danzo suddenly stared at the thing in front of him with wide eyes.

"this is..."

"This is willow barbecue." Gennin said, "The first barbecue they made after entering the desert."

Willow BBQ, this is a type of BBQ that is completely different from what is seen in Konoha Village now.The whole thing reveals a bold and wild atmosphere.It's not refined at all, and there's nothing particularly beautiful about it.

Simple, crude, and direct.

It is made by skewering large pieces of meat with sharpened red willow wood and grilling it.

It doesn't seem to require any refinement, it just takes the theme to the extreme.Barbecue is barbecue!Eating meat with big mouthfuls is refreshing and satisfying.

No one needs to explain or introduce anything.

You know how to eat it just by looking at it.

Danzo grabbed a bunch without hesitation and devoured it.

There is no need to eat it with any secret sauce, and there is no need to pay attention to how thin and evenly the meat should be cut, how many times it should be flipped and grilled on what kind of flame, and there is no need to marinate it in advance.

This is a skewer of mutton, sprinkled with salt, spicy noodles, and cumin powder.

Eat big mouthfuls of meat to satisfy your meat-eating pleasure.

The meat is tender and juicy, and it is full of flavor after grilling.Not to mention it tastes too strong.

After eating this, I thought about the barbecue I had eaten before. I always felt that those barbecues were too petty and did not have the bold pleasure of this willow barbecue.

It feels so good!

This feels absolutely terrible!The night in Loulan is so cold.

The desert here is not a core area but it is still a desert.The huge temperature difference between day and night made Obito, Rin and Kakashi shiver with cold without taking any more protection.

This was their first mission across the border, and they were completely accustomed to Konoha's mild climate.

Suddenly coming to this place in the desert, facing a completely different climate and temperature difference between morning and night in Konoha.It's impossible to adapt in a short period of time.

“Hiss~~~” Obito trembled and said, “Can this ghost place really be inhabitable?!”

During the day it can be so hot that people are about to suffer from heat stroke, and at night it is as cold as the coldest winter in the twelfth lunar month.It feels like you can freeze even if you pee.The huge temperature difference between day and night is really unbearable for these people.

Except for someone of course.

"The desert is like this." Junko said without any reaction: "You need to pay attention to heat dissipation and cooling down during the day."
