Chapter 73 Trip to Loulan
Chapter 73 Trip to Loulan
"Um, Brother Hoshino, what's wrong with you..." Maruboshi Kosuke quickly stopped in his tracks. The dangerous look made him panic.
"......Oh, it's okay, just tell me." After a while, Xingye Feng sighed heavily and then said.
Upon hearing this, Maruboshi Kosuke hesitated for a moment, then spoke when he saw that his complexion had improved.
"Hokage-sama asked me to come and fetch you. He said it was something urgent."
After hearing this, Xingye Feng immediately became confused. An urgent matter?
"Did you tell me what it was?"
"Uh, that's not the case." Maruboshi Kosuke scratched his head.
After pondering for a moment, Xingye Feng stood up and walked towards the door without waiting for him to take a step.
Suddenly, a strange feeling arose inexplicably in his heart, giving him a sense of closeness.
It comes quickly and goes quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Hoshino Kaede paused, suppressed the feeling, and then headed towards the Hokage's office building.
After three years of development, Konoha has become more prosperous, with vendors of various kinds everywhere.
Putting the ninjas aside, the villagers' living standards and quality are much better than before.
It was just the time when the Ninja School was over, and he happened to meet Hatake Sakumo who was already ten years old.
"Sakumo, you..."
"Brother, I want to graduate early!" Before he could say hello, Hatake Sakumo said hurriedly.
Xingye Feng stopped and looked at him. The stubbornness in his eyes made Xingye Feng swallow back his words of refusal and sighed.
"Sakumo, is it because of Uncle Isshin?"
Not long ago, just a few months ago, Uncle Yixin passed away due to illness. He passed away peacefully without leaving any memories.
Even so, Hatake Sakumo has been in a bad mood in recent years, and Hoshino Kaede doesn't want to interfere forcibly, so he hopes he can get over it on his own.
Unexpectedly, Hatake Sakumo would mention graduation. He had wanted to graduate early a long time ago.
But Hoshino Kaede evaded the question by saying that he was still young, but now he probably can't stop it.
"No, I want to graduate on my own." Hatake Sakumo's eyes darkened for a moment, but he quickly cheered up and said seriously.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng showed a relieved smile, it seemed that he had almost come out of it.
"In this case, I agree. You have grown up, and it's time to let go."
Hoshino Feng touched his head. It had been a long time since they had been so intimate.
Did this last time.
Hatake Sakumo's face turned slightly red and he was a little shy, but he did not resist and let Hoshino Kaede touch his head.
"Sakumo! Wait for me." Might Dai shouted from behind.
Xingye Feng smiled and said, "Dai is calling you. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around, waved and left.
When he arrived at the office, Tobirama had a solemn look on his face. He supported his hands on the table and looked at a document on the table.
When he heard footsteps, Tobirama looked up, his frown still on his face.
"Xiao Feng, take a look at this."
Xingye Feng read ten lines at a glance, and the more he read, the more surprised he became.
"Unknown energy fluctuations appeared in Loulan?"
Xingye Feng was full of doubts. This shouldn't be the case. At this time, it shouldn't be the time for Loulan to appear.
"There is a special energy hidden within Loulan, which has been unusually agitated in recent days. They once asked the Sand Ninja Village to help, but in the end they were helpless."
"Recently, they have been posting missions here in Konoha, hoping someone can solve them."
"You were the first person I thought of." Tobirama recounted the story.
Xingye Feng asked: "Can this be called an emergency?"
Tobirama smiled and said, "If you hadn't said that, you wouldn't have come so quickly. Besides, it's almost an emergency."
"If it can be completed, it will be good for Konoha's image and we will get more commissions."
Xingye Feng immediately complained: "I said you would not do anything without profit, so this is what you were thinking."
"How is it, can this task be completed?" Tobirama didn't care, but was concerned about the task.
"If nothing goes wrong, it can be done, but I need to prepare, and it will probably take a long time."
Hearing this, Tobirama frowned and asked tentatively, "How long will it take?"
"It will take at least a year." Xingye Feng thought about it and gave a time that was both vague and accurate.
"So long!" A hint of surprise appeared on Tobirama's calm face.
"I went there not only for the mission, but also for some other things." said Feng Xingye.
"...Okay, but you need to hand over the business department's matters to other people." Tobirama thought about it and agreed.
Konoha is in a period of rising development. After the end of World War I, the village received compensation from other countries, and these resources are sufficient for development.
Today's Konoha has firmly established itself as the largest ninja village.
"Of course." Xingye Feng nodded, and then discussed for a while and left.
After leaving the building, Xingye Feng kept his head down in deep thought. The reason he had promised to do it so quickly was because of Loulan's dragon vein.
In the original work, the power of the dragon vein can distort space, so Naruto traveled to the past and met the Fourth Hokage.
Xingye Feng was naturally interested in such a powerful force.
Time and space, there is some overlap between the two.
Since reaching the Super Shadow level, Kaede Hoshino's strength can only be improved by enhancing his perception of time.
If you can enter the dragon vein and feel it carefully, you can use stones from other mountains to polish jade, and the gains will definitely be much more than the accumulation of time.
Who wouldn't want this method that can improve strength without damaging the foundation?
However, before you go, you need to prepare...
A few days later, Hoshino Feng was dressed lightly, stood at the gate of Konoha, and looked behind him.
"I don't know when I can come back after this trip." Xingye Feng thought.
"Nothing should happen after I leave."
Shaking his head, putting aside all the complicated thoughts, Feng Hoshino set out on the journey to the Kingdom of Wind.
Just as his figure gradually disappeared in the distance, somewhere in the forest, a figure emerged from the ground.
The black and white body was weird and terrifying. He looked at Xingye Feng who was walking away and smiled sinisterly.
"Finally gone, Loulan? Looks like my plan can be implemented."
"Mom, I will definitely rescue you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body merged into the earth and disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, disasters continued in Loulan, and a large amount of chakra gushed out.
“Damn it, go back obediently!!” Queen Loulan tried her best to maintain the barrier, but due to maintaining it for such a long time, the chakra in her body had already been exhausted.
At this moment, she was using her life to maintain the barrier.
The power of the dragon vein is eroding the barrier wave after wave, and it will probably be broken soon.
"No, the dragon vein must be suppressed, otherwise Loulan will be destroyed."
The queen was smart and knew that the barrier would not last long.
He acted decisively, bit his finger, and the blood flowed slowly towards the dragon vein as if it had life.
After the bright red blood merged into the dragon vein, the originally violent dragon vein gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, the queen's anxious expression eased a little, but did not disappear completely. She knew that if the dragon vein was not sealed as soon as possible, it would awaken sooner or later.
"I can only pray that Konoha can send someone here, and hope that Longmian can settle down during this period of time."
The Queen of Loulan staggered to her feet and prayed silently in her heart.
