Chapter 315 The rice bearer awakens, an unequal transaction
The land of rain.
At this moment, all members of the Akatsuki organization are out searching for the whereabouts of their missing companion. The missing companion is named Konan, and she completely lost contact after going out yesterday morning.
Just when everyone had been searching for a whole day and night and was exhausted, a kidnapping letter from a stranger made Yahiko and Nagato's mood plummet.
The letter emphasized that only Yahiko and Nagato, the leaders of Akatsuki, were allowed to go there. If they saw anyone else, they would kill them without hesitation.
So, one day later, on a rainy day, Yahiko and Nagato followed the instructions in the kidnapping letter and successfully met the culprit who kidnapped Konan.
The instigator of all this is none other than the leader of the Hidden Rain Village - Hanzo the Salamander!
The Akatsuki organization has grown so rapidly in the past ten years that it has seriously affected Hanzo's regime and status.
Given the current situation in the Rain Country, even if no one else intervenes in their dispute (in the original work, it was Danzo Shimura who intervened), Hanzo Salamander would not allow the Akatsuki organization to develop further!
Of course, Akatsuki can develop peacefully, but if it recruits too many members, loses control of its size, and begins to threaten the regime of the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, it must be eliminated as soon as possible!
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
The two sides launched a life-and-death battle over Xiaonan.
The leader of the Akatsuki organization died at the hands of Nagato just like in the original work. The intense pain and hatred caused the power of the Rinnegan to awaken significantly. Under the powerful threat of the Outer Path Demon Statue, Hanzo of the Salamander had to run away in disgrace in the end.
The Salamander could have won this battle, but his courage and faith were too weak. His temporary retreat only laid the groundwork for his own death...
"The path of peace that Yahiko longed for... ultimately remains unattainable."
"What you said is correct. Peace requires force as its foundation. Only by making the ninja world experience despair and feel pain will they cherish the peace you bring..."
Nagato, who had lost both legs, looked at the portrait hanging on the wall with an expression of reverence.
"Liu Yun..." Xiaonan's gaze also turned to the young man in black in the painting.
"No, his real name is... Uchiha Ryuun!" Nagato's pair of reincarnation eyes flashed with purple light, and his gaze was fixed on the portrait.
"This is an awakened person who has experienced pain. He has walked ahead of us. Perhaps we can try to find this pioneer in the future..."
The ancient country of Loulan.
"So, you haven't gone anywhere for the past five years, hiding in the dragon veins, just to fully awaken your immortal body?"
While eating her food, Kushina asked about Liuyun's situation in recent years.
"There's nothing special about your immortal body... I feel like you've lost a bit of weight... But your skin tone is amazing, and your muscles are incredibly elastic..."
Kushina's smile was a bit intriguing. Sarah, who was having lunch next to her, heard this, looked at Liuyun's face and neck, and recalled the amazing scene when she accidentally saw most of the white body. Sarah couldn't help but blush.
"Do you have to be big and strong to be considered a sage body? The first Hokage had a sage body. Looking at his photos, he's thinner than me and half a head shorter than me..."
Liuyun retorted while swallowing his food in big mouthfuls.
Having not eaten for such a long time, he was now starving and felt that no matter how much he ate, he could never feel full.
"I'm so hungry... Eat slowly, don't choke..."
Kushina advised with a distressed look on her face, and diligently stood beside him to serve him his meal.
"So you should be considered to have successfully awakened now, right? Do you need to continue cultivating in the future?"
Liuyun nodded upon hearing this and said, "You don't need to endure such a long and arduous retreat day and night. However, I still need to draw upon the power of the dragon veins to infuse the Yang Seal. This is a good opportunity to teach you the cultivation of immortal techniques."
As Liuyun spoke, the circular mark on his forehead suddenly appeared.
He usually hides this mark deliberately, otherwise his already handsome face would look even more effeminate with the small golden mark between his eyebrows.
"You...you want to draw more energy from the dragon vein..."
Sarah asked, suddenly finding the courage.
"If a large amount of dragon vein energy is lost, it will have a devastating impact on Loulan's ecology and national destiny. If possible, please do not draw too much energy at once...
You can come back after a while, the energy of the dragon vein will be replenished over time..."
Liuyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then fell into long contemplation.
After a long while, Liuyun spoke again and asked, "You and your mother can both sense the dragon veins. If I'm not mistaken, that Feng Shui treasure land must have been specially built by your ancestors, right?"
"Yes, the ancient kingdom of Loulan has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and the dragon vein is also a treasure land formed by an ancestor of our lineage after sorting out the earth veins." Sarah spoke of the history of Loulan with pride.
"Your ancestor was indeed a man of great talent, and certainly an immortal with great cultivation. However, what he meant by combing the earth's veins was to gather all the vital energy within a thousand miles to Loulan. It is precisely because of this that the oasis is now a barren landscape stretching for a thousand miles."
Liuyun has been here for five years, and he has almost understood the mystery of the dragon veins.
"You mean our ancestors..."
Sarah's eyes widened in panic, but before she could finish her words, Liuyun interrupted her and said:
"I don't want to judge your ancestor's good or evil. After all, my cultivation was able to complete thanks to the dragon vein he created. In fact, I should be grateful to him..."
The immortal who built this dragon vein probably wanted to use this precious land to bless his descendants, but man proposes, God disposes. His immortal cultivation heritage must have been cut off in the hands of a certain generation of descendants, making it impossible for subsequent generations to absorb the energy of the dragon vein.
The treasure cave exists but cannot be used. When it came to Sarah's generation, they could only sense the dragon veins and even controlling them was extremely difficult.
If Liuyun remembered correctly, the ancient kingdom of Loulan in the Naruto theater should have perished in twenty years, specifically because it was destroyed by war.
Of course, it is also possible that it was because Minato Namikaze sealed the dragon vein representing the destiny of Loulan, which led to the eventual destruction of Loulan. Sara took the few remaining citizens to seek refuge in the nearest Wind Kingdom.
"Let's make a deal..."
Liuyun suddenly looked at Sarah seriously.
"What deal?" Sarah seemed a little nervous at the moment.
"I want this dragon vein. You will remain the Queen of Loulan. I can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth, honor, and status. I will also do my best to protect Loulan. I dare not say that Loulan will prosper again, but I will never let it perish in your hands."
The total number of Loulan citizens is less than 50,000. The entire country is basically shaky. A few small-scale wars are enough to destroy this closed "puppet jungle".
"You want to protect Loulan? At the cost of the dragon vein..."
Sarah at this moment is no longer the ignorant girl she was five years ago. She understands Loulan’s current situation better than anyone else.
"Yes, the dragon vein will still be protected by the Queen of Loulan, and the right to use this place will belong to me. Of course, I will definitely not do anything to drain the pond to catch fish, and I will not allow anyone to destroy this dragon vein."
Liuyun's words sounded like he was trying to get something for nothing, but Sarah fell silent, which was unusual for her.
"If I don't agree, you will continue to control me like before, right..." Sarah suddenly asked with her head lowered.
Hearing this, Liuyun couldn't help but chuckle.
The answer is self-evident!
