Chapter 878: Journey to Loulan

Konoha Village.

When Xia Mu appeared in the Hokage's office, Minato hadn't come yet.

When he flew over, he found Shikaku working at a small table on the side.

After Obito's declaration of war, Minato had a lot of things to deal with, so he simply called Shikaku to help him deal with government affairs.

After all, it would be a waste to keep a high-IQ talent.

"Lord Xia Mu."

Shikaku looked up and saw that it was Xia Mu, and he also greeted him.

Xia Mu waved his hand: "You do your work. I'll wait for Minato to come back."

Shikaku didn't say anything polite and continued to work at his desk.

Before Xia Mu opened the wedge state II, he carefully examined Sasuke's body.

If you want to accelerate Sasuke's growth, you still need to find another way.

He carefully asked Minato about the details of the battle with Jigen.

Minato said that after using the fairy technique, the ninjutsu cannot be absorbed by Jigen.

This is good news. After all, not everyone is a master of physical skills.

In the future, when fighting against the Otsutsuki, being able to make ninjutsu work will also greatly help the people in the ninja world.

Sasuke's body has a low affinity for nature, and there is no way to learn fairy arts now.

There are even a lot of Uchiha people in the clan who can't learn fairy arts.

In this case, in the battle with the Otsutsuki, it is actually extremely disadvantageous.

Xia Mu set his sights on the dragon vein.

The dragon vein itself is a collection of natural energy, which can be used directly.

If a large amount of dragon veins pass through the body, it will make the body more friendly to natural energy.

But Xia Mu must first understand the specific situation of the dragon vein.

Of course, Sasuke's mentality also needs to be adjusted in the past few days.

But there are too many things. After Xia Mu was busy, he saw that the time promised to Sasuke was coming, and he hadn't seen the situation of the dragon vein.

So he made an appointment with Minato to go together.

"I'm back, Xia Mu."

While thinking, Minato arrived.

Xia Mu stood up: "Let's go and check the situation first."

"Wait a moment, Xia Mu."

Minato walked around and came to Shikaku. He explained to him that most of the things were preparations for battle, and there were a lot of things to do.

"I know, Fourth Hokage, leave these things to me, you go and get busy first."

Shikaku quickly wrote down Minato's instructions.

Minato patted Shikaku on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he came and stood beside Xia Mu, and began to close his eyes to sense the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

The dragon vein was sealed by him personally that year, and it was sealed with the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Of course he could find the location, but too much time had passed.

Even if he himself had to search for a while before he could tell which one was it.

Minato closed his eyes, as if countless lights rose in the dark night.

These are all the marks of the Flying Thunder God. Minato searched for it according to the location of the dragon vein. There was a particularly bright Flying Thunder God mark there.

It should be that one.

"Found it, Xia Mu, let's go."

Minato opened his eyes, grabbed Xia Mu and flew away.

...

After the space conversion, Minato and Xia Mu had already arrived on a stone platform.

In the middle of the stone platform was a Flying Thunder God Kunai, and the ground around it was a huge sealing ritual.

Minato looked at the stone platform, somewhat nostalgic.

According to the time, it was almost twenty years ago.

Xia Mu's mind flashed about this part of the plot, which was Naruto traveling back and completing this task with Minato.

He suddenly became curious because Naruto had not traveled back yet:

"When sealing this dragon vein, who else was there besides you?"

Minato asked with some doubt: "Well, Choza, Shiya and Kakashi."

"No one else?"

Minato shook his head: "No, just the four of us."

After a little thought, Xia Mu chose to give up. This kind of paradox of time travel, I guess no one can understand it.

What he needs to consider now is whether the dragon vein can be used.

"Minato, do you know much about dragon veins?"

Minato was checking the seal of the dragon vein and replied:

"Many years ago, a huge puppet empire appeared here."

"It was called Loulan."

"According to the literature, Loulan discovered and mastered the power of the dragon vein."

"Loulan used this power to provide energy for many large puppets and conquered the surrounding countries."

"At that time, Loulan was ambitious and wanted to unify the world."

"This dragon vein is a huge energy flow. Although it can be used by the people of Loulan, it is also continuously extracting the energy of the earth veins near Loulan."

"Although the people of Loulan can use the dragon vein, they cannot move or close it."

"After the ambitions of the Loulan people were exposed, other countries united and stopped selling supplies to Loulan."

"Although Loulan was very powerful at that time, it could not expand out."

"After the energy of the earth veins was exhausted, this place basically became barren, forming a large area of ​​desertification."

"At this time, Loulan was basically at the end of its strength, although the people of Loulan could still defend here with dragon veins and puppets."

"But Loulan, without supplies, gradually declined."

"Twenty years ago, the Loulan Empire had become the ancient country of Loulan."

"At that time, this place was very closed and seemed very powerful, but in fact most of them were puppets, and there were actually less than a thousand living people."

"After the dragon vein was sealed, Konoha did not come to understand the information here, and no one knows what is happening now."

Xia Mu sighed a little, it was really a success or failure.

After Minato died, he naturally didn't know the situation here.

As for other people, it was difficult to find this place, not to mention that ordinary people's sealing level could not open this seal.

Xia Mu remembered that Loulan should have descendants, and Sarah at that time should have a daughter.

But it seems that they are not nearby.

Minato has checked the seal of the entire dragon vein:

"Although I sealed it 20 years ago, the energy of the dragon vein is still growing slowly."

"But the energy of the surrounding earth veins is almost gone, and its growth is limited."

"The idea you mentioned last time, using this energy to transform the body is feasible."

"The energy of the dragon veins is all converted from the energy of the earth veins, and they are all a kind of natural energy. If a large amount of dragon vein energy is infused, it should be no problem to make the body close to nature."

"To mobilize the dragon vein, you have to open a hole in the seal."

"But the dragon vein may have the risk of going berserk."

Xia Mu touched his chin: "It's not possible, it will definitely go berserk."

"Oh?"

Minato looked at Xia Mu and reacted in an instant: "Xia Mu, have you 'seen' it?"

He was referring to Xia Mu's ability to predict the future.

Xia Mu nodded slightly, and then told Minato about another time and space, when Naruto came to join forces with him to defeat the centipede.

Minato shook his head: "In this time and space, Naruto did not appear. It was only the four of us who completed the task."

Xia Mu touched his chin. Minato's ability to accept was really strong. When the pineapple head came through last time, Minato also accepted it quickly.

He thought Minato had experienced Naruto's crossing, but it turned out not to be the case.
