Chapter 171 Queen of Loulan: I'm Entrusting the Dragon Vein to You [Fourth Update]

Sasha glanced at the Minato Namikaze and his son chatting in the distance, and then said, "I heard what you were saying. Jonin Namikaze is here to deal with the Hyakuza incident. He will definitely take Hyakuza back to Konoha. At that time, Konoha may not kill him, but I don't want Hyakuza to be captured and taken to Konoha like this. I want him dead."

"To ensure the future doesn't change, Jonin Namikaze will seal our memories, but you're different. You come from another timeline, so you won't be disturbed, and you're not afraid of this spacetime being affected, right? So I'm asking you to help me take revenge." Sasha calmly analyzed her perspective point by point.

Kitahara Kaede was silent for a moment. In the original work, Centipede did indeed die, and the final result was that Namikaze Minato sealed everyone's memories and completed the mission.

But what if something unexpected happens?

If Centipede hadn't died on the spot, he would most likely have been captured and taken to Konoha for processing. Konoha would then decide whether to kill him or extract enough information from him before killing him.

After all, a ninja from the future is valuable in itself.

As for Minato Namikaze's desire to not change the future, that was just his personal idea. He didn't want Naruto's birth to be affected by any accidents, even if the price was his own life.

But do the other people in Konoha think the same way?

That's not necessarily true.

Kitahara Kaede thought about it. Originally, the plan was for Centipede to die, and he believed that Namikaze Minato must have thought the same way and would definitely not allow Centipede to have the chance to be brought back to Konoha.

So even if I don't take action, the final result won't change, and if I choose to take action, it's just adding a final layer of insurance.

"So, does this count as you giving me a commission? You want me to get rid of Centipede, what are you willing to give in return?" Kitahara Kaede asked seriously. "After Centipede merges with the Dragon Vein's chakra, its destructive power is comparable to a village's Kage. What are you willing to give in exchange for me eliminating him?"

This can't be considered deceiving an innocent young girl.

"The Dragon Vein, I want to entrust the Dragon Vein to you," Sasha said. "I think the Dragon Vein must be a powerful force for you ninjas. For ordinary people like us, the power of the Dragon Vein only brings us misfortune, but you are different. Perhaps you can make good use of this power."

Sasha had no attachment to the power of the dragon vein that had been passed down through generations in the Loulan Kingdom; in fact, it was a very painful memory for her.

If it weren't for the existence of the dragon vein, it wouldn't have attracted the covetousness of the centipede, and his mother wouldn't have been killed at such a young age. Even if life were a little harder, it would be better than having no one alive by his side now.

Especially after Kitahara Kaede said that she would have a lovely daughter in the future, she herself is already like this. Even though she has never been a mother and does not know what it feels like to be a mother, she is already instinctively thinking that she can't go on like this.

The saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!"

That's the real reason she was able to make up her mind.

"The dragon vein is certainly a powerful force to us, but how are you going to give it to me?" Kitahara Kaede asked. "Can you control the dragon vein?"

"Of course I can't, but I can teach you a sealing technique unique to our Loulan lineage. With this, you'll be able to control the dragon vein and seal it. If, as you said, you return to your own timeline, you can use this technique to take the dragon vein away," Sasha said. "When you return to your own timeline, I hope you can help the Loulan merchant group if you have the ability."

Although Sasha sold the dragon vein of the timeline where Kitahara Kaede lived without hesitation, and she believed that it was good for the remaining people of Loulan, she still felt a little guilty.

"Can."

Kitahara Kaede nodded.

Kitahara Kaede then took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag, wrote the mission on the scroll, and then had Sasha confirm and sign it before biting his finger and pressing his bloody handprint on it.

In this way, the mission will be completed. Even if the dragon vein is exposed one day in the future, he will have a legitimate reason to claim that he possesses the dragon vein, which was entrusted to him by the last queen of Loulan.

As for which Loulan Queen you mentioned? Don't worry about that. Anyway, it's her signature and her bloody handprint.

Of course, by that time, there were probably no people left who had the right to question him.

After all, this is a behemoth with a chakra volume comparable to that of a tailed beast. In the future, we can learn from the Jinchuriki and seal the Dragon Vein Chakra within our own bodies, thus possessing an inexhaustible supply of chakra.

For ninjas, the importance of chakra is beyond doubt. With Kitahara Kaede's current chakra, which has already steadily reached the Kage level, it is more than enough for his current needs.

The highest level of ninjas currently appearing is only Kage-level, but in the new arc three years later, that level will only be considered average. At that stage, Kage-level power will no longer be a rare occurrence.

In the later stages, super-powerful beings filled the sky, and even beings at the Six Paths level appeared.

Kitahara Kaede's chakra reserves were far from sufficient. If he wanted to develop a technique similar to Wind Release: Rasengan, his chakra reserves would be completely insufficient, so he could only use this technique as a powerful move.

Naruto Uzumaki can use this move as a basic attack, which is the biggest difference.

Therefore, he had to find a way to make up for this weakness, which was still his strongest point for the time being, and the Dragon Vein was the best choice besides the Tailed Beasts.

Sasha led Kitahara Kaede aside and began to teach him the technique for sealing the dragon vein. Kitahara Kaede listened to it once and although he memorized it, he didn't really understand it.

Because he lacked the foundation in learning sealing ninjutsu, which, like medical ninjutsu, is considered a high-level ninjutsu among ninjas, and is even rarer than medical ninjutsu.

Konoha has a special sealing class with a complete learning path for sealing ninjutsu. Many of these techniques are the culmination of years of accumulation by the Senju and Uzumaki clans, especially the Uzumaki clan, which is famous throughout the ninja world for its sealing techniques.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze was able to learn so many sealing ninjutsu because he followed Kushina Uzumaki's path. Whether it was the technique for sealing the dragon veins or the Reaper Death Seal for sealing the Nine-Tails, these were sealing ninjutsu unique to the Uzumaki clan.

Unfortunately, I can't learn it myself, so I'll have to find another way.

Not only did Kitahara Kaede memorize it, but he also took out a small scroll to record it, because he was afraid that the memories in his mind would be sealed by Namikaze Minato after the mission was over, so he made a double preparation.

Even if my future self loses this memory, I can probably deduce the cause and effect of the matter by looking at the things I left in my ninja tool bag.

"Since I've accepted your commission, I will definitely kill him," Kitahara Kaede said directly. "Just watch my actions tonight when we carry out the mission."

After comforting Queen Sasha, Kitahara Kaede walked over to Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki, who had just finished crying, looked at Kitahara Kaede, who had suddenly walked over, with some confusion.

"I apologize for taking up a little of your time, father and son. I have something I'd like to ask Naruto," Kitahara Kaede said with a grin.

Minato Namikaze glanced at Kaede Kitahara but said nothing.

Now he has figured out what's going on. Kitahara Kaede and the others are from different timelines, people from a parallel universe. Kitahara Kaede seems to have a good relationship with Naruto, and even taught Naruto his Rasengan.

In this sense, he could be considered a good friend of his son, so Minato Namikaze's attitude towards Kaede Kitahara was no longer as wary as it had been at the beginning.

"What's wrong?" Naruto Uzumaki looked at Kitahara Kaede. He had figured it out. Kitahara Kaede was his friend from another timeline. As someone who had always lacked friends, he knew very well that in that time period, he could say he had no friends at all. Having a friend like that was truly rare.

"I've been developing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken technique recently, but I can't seem to overcome the damage it causes to my arm. I'd like to know how you solved that problem."

Kitahara Kaede didn't hesitate and directly voiced his doubts.

His progress in developing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken has stalled. It's not that he's not trying, but this move would cause the Wind Release chakra to pierce through every muscle and cell in his body like tiny needles.

This is a move that hurts the enemy a thousand while also hurting yourself eight hundred.

He had no choice; he was completely stuck by a bug. For this move to be successful without side effects, it required 100% completion, which ordinary people couldn't achieve. Later, Naruto Uzumaki circumvented this bug by using Sage Mode.

Moreover, he doesn't have Naruto's physique. Some injuries that would be severe for Naruto would be fatal for him.

"Ah, well, actually I don't have a very good solution either," Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and said. "I haven't even mastered this move yet!"

Kitahara Kaede immediately understood that Naruto Uzumaki was most likely not yet training in Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku. But thinking about it, it made sense; if he were to go to Mount Myōboku to train in Sage Mode, then the next thing would be the battle of Pain's invasion of Konoha.

That battle marked the first appearance of Sage Mode.

However, Naruto Uzumaki still shared some of his insights and training tips, which delighted Kitahara Kaede. Although neither of them had been fully developed, Naruto's development rate was at least over 50%, while Kitahara Kaede's development rate was only about 10%.

He couldn't even force it like Naruto Uzumaki and leave behind incurable injuries; he didn't have that level of development.

The points that Naruto Uzumaki pointed out to him were enough to save him from taking many detours.
