"Have you fallen in love with the scene?" Uchibo came over, squatted next to Hinata Zang, picked up the hair that had been blown down by the wind, and arranged it into a whip.

Immersed in memories, Hyugazo nodded, and immediately stood up and said: "If it weren't for the chance encounter with Sunagakure Jonin, I might still be just a genin of the Hyuga branch. I really don't want to do anything like this."

Uchibo looked into the distance and followed Hinata Zang.

The battle that took place in this valley was an unforgettable memory. For the first time, she experienced the cruelty of the ninja career. The Suna ninja's methods ruthlessly defeated her pride of belonging to an Uchiha member.

If Zou had not possessed the strength of a jounin elite at that time, she would probably have committed suicide.

The female ninja who is responsible for the blood inheritance would rather commit suicide than be captured alive. The price of being captured alive will most likely become the mother body for cultivating the blood inheritance.

Rubbing his eyes, Uchibo discovered through the reflection of the dagger that he had activated his Sharingan.

It’s a memory I really don’t want to recall!

But if she encounters that Sunagakure elite force again, she can destroy it in an instant.

After all, I was still weak at the time and didn't know how to keep a low profile.

………

In the endless yellow sand.

After several days of trekking day and night, Hinata Zangheyin followed the caravan to an oasis in the desert.

The area of ​​the oasis is only the size of a town, but it is home to hundreds of residents, forming settlements around the water source.

Similar oases are not uncommon in the Kingdom of Wind, which is also a country formed by settlements everywhere.

But compared to the other five major countries, the land of the Kingdom of Wind appears to be extremely barren.

The Loulan survivors live in such an oasis and rely on water sources to survive.

Seeing the arrival of the caravan, the emaciated Loulan survivors suddenly became excited. The arrival of the caravan meant exchange.

Living on an isolated island in the desert, they lacked salt, grain, oil, cloth and iron, and the only goods they could exchange were local specialties.

The water flow created by the ninja out of thin air cannot be watered or drunk, otherwise the Kingdom of Wind would not be so miserable.

Looking at these ragged survivors of Loulan, it was difficult for Hinata to connect them with the ancient Loulan country. After losing their dragon veins, they also lost their inexhaustible energy.

The caravan stopped temporarily for trading, and Hinata Zang and Yin met Queen Loulan under the introduction of the caravan.

The queen, who was wearing linen clothes, looked haggard. She was the leader of a country rather than the leader of a tribe. She worked hard for the livelihood of the tribe and barely wore the name of the former Queen of Loulan.

Queen Loulan is accompanied by a simple maid who is responsible for taking care of her daily life.

Perhaps this is the only difference between the Queen and other Loulan survivors.

The down-and-out queen had to please the caravans, not to mention she was a big shot among the merchants, so the meeting with Hinata went extremely smoothly.

After waving and signaling everyone else to leave, there were only three people left in the tent.

Looking at the two people who wore masks and looked mysterious all over their bodies, Queen Loulan was filled with anxiety and asked cautiously: "Why did you two come to see me?"

Hinata Zang went straight to the topic and said calmly: "We are here for Dragon Vein and seeking cooperation."

Upon hearing the dragon vein, Queen Loulan immediately became vigilant and said: "Dragon vein is not a treasure that you can covet, give up!"

Hinata smiled and said: "Do you think we can't break the seal of Dragon Vein? We just found the former Queen of Loulan, you Sarah, just to make sure everything is safe."

Before he finished speaking, Hinata glanced at Yin, who immediately understood and cast the illusion.

In an instant, the illusion took control of Sarah, the Queen of Loulan. As an ordinary person, Sarah had no way of resisting the illusion, and the appearance of three magatama appeared in her eyes.

After pondering for a while, Hinagazou looked at Yin and said, "Yin goes and asks her if she has any memories of when she sealed the dragon veins, and if she has ever seen the mysterious four-person team."

Yin nodded and faced Sarah's order. Sarah, who was unable to resist, revealed all the information.

After hearing the information, Hinata frowned and held his chin in his hand, lost in thought.

Sarah, who was controlled by illusion, couldn't lie. She had seen the Fourth Hokage, Ino Shikacho's team, and even Kakashi, but she had never seen that mysterious team of four.

However, An Lushan, who once stole the dragon vein, actually existed. He was defeated by the Fourth Hokage and sealed the dragon vein.

Did this period of history never happen, or was Sarah, the Queen of Loulan, eliminated artificially?

Hyugazo didn't know that he could no longer obtain information about the future.

Thinking of traveling through time and space, a terrible thought came to Hinata's mind. Could it be that he would be too conspicuous in the future, which is why the fourth generation accepted him and Yin as an ANBU.

And, when they first met, they said meaningful words.

But in that case, another problem arises. The fourth generation knew about the Nine-Tails Rebellion before sealing the Nine-Tails, but still did not choose to change and died in the Night of the Nine-Tails.

Shaking his head to disperse the distracting thoughts about time and space, Hinata Zou said to the sound: "Dispel the illusion."

After the illusion was lifted, Sarah stared into the void for a few seconds before realizing that she had been controlled by the illusion. The two people in front of her were not ordinary people, but ninjas, and they were both excellent among ninjas.

As the master of dragon veins, she had no control over ordinary illusions. This was what the Fourth Hokage told her back then, which meant that the ninja in front of her was terrifying.

Subconsciously taking a few steps back and stumbling to sit in her seat, Sarah wanted to call for help, but gave up.

In front of ninjas, no matter how many ordinary people there are, it will be of no use and will only lead to death in vain.

Sarah, who knew she was powerless to resist, said: "Since you have used illusions to know the location of the dragon's veins, leave now. I will pretend that what happened today never happened..."

Hinata shook his head slightly. This move made Sara's face look ashen. Nannan said: "Are you going to kill them all?"

"I said we are here to seek cooperation." Hyugazo repeated.

"Cooperation, what cooperation?" Sarah asked in confusion.

She didn't know what else they, the refugees who had lost their homeland, had to covet except dragon veins.

Even the most ferocious desert bandits cannot squeeze money from them because they are too poor.

Hinata Zang pointed to the ground and whispered a word: "Our chamber of commerce needs oil underground."

When entering this oasis, Hinata Zang saw the Loulan survivors using oil for lighting. After opening his Byakugan, he saw oil in the ground that was comparable to an underground lake.

The ninja world may not yet have a way to utilize oil, but he knows the value contained in oil.
