Konoha dances on Zanpakutō

Chapter 74 The Broken Time Loop
Power Concerto!
With a loud shout, a big foot appeared in Duanlang's field of vision, and it became bigger and bigger.

"Mike?"

Duan Lang immediately recognized the other party's identity, and at the same time turned sideways to hide.

"what?"

Maitekai, who was in mid-air, tilted his head. Although he didn't recognize the other party's identity, the pattern on Duanlang's forehead showed his identity.

Seeing this, he didn't continue to chase, and passed by Duanlang's side.

After breaking a big tree with a flying kick, Maitkai bounced back with the force of the shock and landed beside Duanlang.

"Are you Konoha's ninja?"

Two ninjas in green vests followed closely behind Maitekai, but they did not let down their vigilance and stared at Duanlang.

"That's right," Duanlang nodded, and then he focused his eyes, only to hear a 'buzz' sound, and two black hook jades spun quickly in his eyes, "I am Duanlang of the Uchiha clan. I went out of the village to perform a mission, and I just came back."

Sharingan is a pupil technique unique to the Uchiha clan, and the cold chakra is even more difficult to forge, more effective than any certificate.

So after Duanlang showed his Sharingan, the two ninjas relaxed a lot.

Maitekai patted Duanlang's shoulder carelessly: "A Uchiha who is out on a mission? That's really rare!"

Then he seemed to think of something: "But you called out my name just now, do you know me?"

"I'm two years younger than you, Kai-senpai. I heard that you are a taijutsu ninja who is even more talented than Kakashi. Today I saw you and you really deserve your reputation. I still have to learn a lot from you."

Duanlang replied with a smile.

Hearing that Duanlang said that he was even more genius than his old enemy Kakashi, Maitekai laughed from ear to ear: "It seems that Duanlang is a good judge of people! That's right, it is the blood of youth that made me become A taijutsu ninja that surpasses Kakashi! If you work hard, you can do it!"

"Captain, you are really enough! Why did you suddenly become like this again!"

"Senior Kai, you should at least pay attention to your own image in front of the juniors who worship you!"

Before Duanlang said anything, the other two ninjas cried out helplessly.

Apparently, they haven't gotten used to the captain's character of being passionate when they disagree with each other.

However, Duanlang, who had seen all this, did not feel embarrassed. Instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It just so happens that I am worried that no one will compete in martial arts! Senior Kai, are you willing to accept my challenge!"

"Huh?" Maitekai has long been used to the cynicism of outsiders to his character, but he did not expect Duanlang to respond to him in this way. After looking at the other party up and down, he gave Duanlang a thumbs up, revealing himself With those shiny teeth, "Of course there is no problem! I can already feel the youthful blood in your body!"

"Really?" Duanlang also grinned, and his smile deepened, "But I'm younger and more passionate than you!"

Looking at the two guys whose smiles were warmer than the other, and whose teeth seemed to be whiter than the other, the two subordinates of Matt Kay looked at each other, feeling that they were really unlucky to meet a strange person who could confront the captain on the airwaves.

Moreover, this weirdo was born in Uchiha's always proud family, which is even more puzzling.

Fortunately, everyone is a Konoha ninja, so after introducing each other, they quickly got to know each other and rushed to the village together.

Through conversation, Duanlang learned that when he wanted to practice Taijutsu before, the reason why he couldn't find Maitekai was because he took two subordinates to the Kingdom of Wind to perform missions.

According to Duanlang's estimation, the Maitekai team had left the village at least before he practiced illusion with Hong.

Now that I have been out of the village for more than a month, I just ran into them who came back, which means that this task has been carried out for at least two months.

He couldn't help but couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart: "I don't know what task is so troublesome, and it made Senior Kai you toss for so long."

You must know that although Maitekai is an individual jutsu ninja, as an elite ninja, he is considered to be the best in the whole village in terms of strength. Even the task that took him so long to complete must not be easy.

It's just that after hearing the question, not only Maitekai, but even his two subordinates couldn't help but look ugly.

Seeing this, Duanlang took a tight breath, realizing his slip of the tongue.

After all, in principle, the missions of every ninja team need to be kept secret, not to mention the missions that took so much time for the Maitekai team to complete, the secrets must be even more unusual.

So it is really irrational to ask a question rashly.

So Duan Lang hurriedly opened his mouth to make amends: "I'm sorry Senior Kai, I was just a little curious just now."

Maitekai shook his head: "It's nothing, this mission doesn't need to be kept secret, but when you mentioned it just now, it reminded us of some bad things."

"Something bad?" Duanlang widened his eyes, looked at the constipated face on Maitkai's face, and became more curious in his heart, but since the other party said that the mission does not need to be kept secret, he stopped being polite, " What is your mission this time?"

"Don't mention it!" Naoki, the blue-haired subordinate of Matekai, looked like 'I'm so unlucky', "The village didn't know what went crazy a while ago, but it turned out all the tasks accumulated before, and it turned out We assigned our team a mission to find the ancient country of Loulan."

Speaking of this, another subordinate friend also complained: "Yeah! I don't know who is so damaged, causing our team to wander in the desert of the Kingdom of Wind for nearly two months before we finally found our target!"

Although Maitekai did not speak, his face was not good-looking. Obviously, the days of crawling and rolling in the desert were not pleasant.

The ancient country of Loulan?

Duanlang's nerves were touched by the words of several people, and then a large number of memories emerged from his mind.

If he remembered correctly, the ancient country of Loulan did exist in the world of Naruto.

It is a country located in the desert of the Land of Wind, which appeared in the Naruto theatrical version of "The Lost Tower".

In the theatrical version, Naruto and his companions hunted down the rebellious Baizu in Sand Hidden Village. As a result, they traveled through time and space and returned to the third Ninja World War. Together with his father, Namikaze Minato, who went to Loulan to investigate at that time, he defeated the pseudonym "An Lushan" 'The centipedes finally returned to their own time and space.

The theatrical version of the plot quickly flashed through Duanlang's mind, but problems followed.

"Didn't the village explore the ancient kingdom of Loulan before? Why did they send you there?"

Duan Lang frowned deeply.

After Minato destroyed Hyakuzu's conspiracy, he should have only sealed the memory of Naruto, there is no reason why Loulan-related information should not be brought back.

"Of course not. If we had investigated, how could this task have fallen on us!"

Naoki looked very helpless.

But at this time, Yousheng seems to have thought of something: "Yes, at that time, it was the time of the ninja world war. Such a task was not important at all, so it was naturally put on hold. Who would have thought that it would suddenly be revealed?"

Irrelevant tasks?
Duan Lang's brows frowned into a knot, and the doubts in his heart deepened a bit.

Then he pretended to be very interested and asked about the customs of Loulan.

The few people chatted one after another like this, and continued to drive the village.

But even though he was chatting with the three of them, Duanlang's brain didn't stop thinking, instead it was running faster.

"In the original plot, Baizu became an important minister of Loulan through conspiracy and tricks, and killed the previous Queen of Loulan. After that, he intended to seize the energy of the dragon's veins, and the third generation who heard the news sent a water gate team to investigate."

"The source of everything is here. Minato didn't receive a mission to investigate Loulan. As long as we work backwards based on this, we can find the problem."

"First of all, Sandai is a cautious person. After hearing about Baizu's plot to seize the dragon's veins, just to be on the safe side, even if he didn't appoint the Water Gate Squad, he would send other people to investigate. So the problem should not lie with Sandai."

"Then there is something wrong with Baizu? That's not right! According to Maitekai and the others, Loulan is just a relatively prosperous small country. Not only does it not have Anlu Mountain, but there is no Baizu either."

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Duanlang's mind.

"Wait! If Minato hadn't gone to Loulan to investigate, then he wouldn't have set a time-space seal on the dragon vein!"

"Without the seal of time and space, Centipede will not travel to Loulan in the past!"

"Without Baizu making troubles in Loulan in the past, the Watergate team would not be sent by the third generation to investigate!"

"In other words, something must have happened that caused this series of space-time loops to be broken!"

As for who broke this space-time cycle?
Duanlang cast his eyes on himself without hesitation, because the world only had himself as an extra unstable factor.

So if there is any change in the timeline, even if such a change is not directly related to me, it is at least influenced by me!
Having figured this out, Duanlang felt enlightened, but he quickly lowered his head and rubbed his temples in distress: "I just don't know how I affected Loulan and Longmai."

Along the way, Duanlang tried his best to think about new problems, but until he returned to Konoha and came to Hokage's office, he still had no clue.

Since the mission of the Metkai team is not a secret, the three generations received them in the office at the same time.

"It's really hard for your team this time, Kai."

The three generations who had not seen each other for a long time sat behind the desk, showing a gentle smile while smoking a pipe.

Just now, he had finished listening to Maitekai's report on Loulan: "I will compensate each of you with a special allowance later."

"Great!"

After suffering so much, no one would refuse such hard work, so the three members of the team couldn't help cheering, including Maitekai.

Waiting for their cheers to end, Sandai tapped his pipe on the table: "Okay, get excited later, I have one more thing to say."

Seeing that the three of them settled down, Sandai cleared his throat: "Well, according to what you said, this country named Loulan is quite prosperous, and it is just right to be our Konoha's partner, so I want to send a small team to Loulan Check it out and make a peace treaty with them."

The third generation's words were very gentle, even with a little imperceptible request.

If it was normal, the Mitekai team would definitely feel flattered to hear the third generation talking to themselves like this.

But now they can't feel the excitement, because the meaning of the third generation is too obvious, just want them to go to Loulan ancient country again, even Duanlang next to them can hear it.

Thinking of returning to the huge desert of the Land of Winds again, even though this time it will not take so long to find a direction, the faces of the three of Maitekai couldn't help turning pale.

"cough,"

The third generation looked at the resentful eyes of the three of Maitekai, and couldn't help but blushed and coughed a few times.

He also knew that what he did was a little unnatural. After all, when they were reporting their experience just now, the three of Maitekai complained secretly about how hard life in the desert was.

However, the three generations who have been in charge of Konoha for many years are very clear about what it means to discover a prosperous country like Loulan. If they can take advantage of the opportunity to first establish diplomatic relations with them and start business exchanges, they will definitely benefit a lot from it.

And judging from the current intelligence, the Kingdom of Wind has obviously not found such a rich country within its borders.

This is not surprising. After all, 90.00% of the country of the wind is desert, and the control over the interior of the desert is extremely weak, so it is very normal that Loulan's existence was not discovered.

It is precisely because of this that the third generation is so eager to establish contact with Loulan before the Kingdom of Wind finds out.

At that time, even if Shayin Village is jealous and wants to come in for a share, Konoha will be able to take the initiative.

Only in this way, the Maitekai team must be run around again.

After all, they are the only ones who know the exact route to Loulan. If they send other people there, at least half a month will be wasted on the road.

However, the third generation is not an unreasonable person, so after thinking for a while, he gave his own conditions: "Well, you can take five days off, and the reward for this mission will be increased by five times compared to the previous mission. times."

However, he obviously underestimated the resistance of several people to the life in the desert. Seeing the bitter expressions on the faces of the three, the third generation said again: "The bounty has been increased by ten times! But the holiday cannot be extended."

Maitekai's expression moved slightly, not because of the bounty, but because he realized that the third generation attached great importance to it.

Although he doesn't understand business matters, he can tell that this task must be very important to the village, so he waved his hand: "Okay, Hokage-sama, let me show my youthful enthusiasm for this task again! "

Seeing Maitekai let go, the third generation nodded in satisfaction, and looked at the other two: "What about you two?"

Naoki and Yousheng looked at each other, thinking that since the captain had agreed, there was no need for him and others to hold on.

Thinking about it, the two of them were about to agree.

But at this moment, Duanlang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "If the two seniors have any difficulties, then let me join this team!"
