Chapter 122 The Course of History
"Dragon Vein..."
Upon hearing this, the group all looked at Gaara, after all, he was the Kazekage and this was his kingdom.
Unexpectedly, young Gaara shrugged and said helplessly, "I don't know either."
By the time he became the Wind Shadow, Loulan had already been destroyed.
Hyuga Hanabi muttered under her breath, "If you cared even a tenth as much about your village's history as you do about Naruto, you wouldn't be so clueless."
(Hyuga Hanabi)
The reason they entered this time travel was because Naruto encountered danger—and it was a threat from the time dimension!
The enemy, Urashiki Otsutsuki, knew he couldn't defeat the contemporary Naruto, so he decided to cheat by traveling back in time and taking the Nine-Tails from the young Naruto.
It's somewhat unethical to say that.
Sasuke and Boruto therefore decided to go back in time to stop it.
Then, somehow the news leaked out, attracting the attention of Hyuga Hanabi and Gaara.
Even Boruto couldn't help but complain after arriving in this time and space.
"I love Uncle Luo, you care about Dad even more than my mom does."
Gaara is the Kazekage!
They actually arrived in Konoha the moment they received the news and traveled through time with them!
Fortunately, Boruto was still relatively innocent at this point, otherwise he probably would have started singing on the spot: If this isn't love.
Gaara blushed slightly as they teased him.
But this was indeed his dereliction of duty as the Wind Shadow, and he couldn't refute it, so he could only turn his head away and pretend nothing had happened.
After a while, Hinata Hanabi finally spoke up and said, "I seem to remember something about dragon veins. They were mentioned in Konoha's S-rank mission logs."
There have been two S-rank mission records related to this in the village. One was when the Fourth Hokage came here to seal the dragon vein, which should have happened a few years ago.
Another time, Naruto came here to capture a rogue ninja, but that happened in the future, not in our present.
"Are there any gaps in these two records and timelines?" Sasuke asked.
Hinata Hanabi shook her head in distress. "I don't know. I don't remember the specific details of the mission report."
But she later added, "Both mission logs end by saying that the dragon vein was completely sealed."
Sasuke seemed to be deep in thought.
"If the Fourth Hokage and Naruto both decided that something needed to be sealed, then perhaps... it really is related to time and space!"
Hyuga Hanabi then added, "Another piece of evidence is that I asked the people here before, and they said that they haven't seen any outside ninjas here in the past two or three years."
But I clearly remember that Konoha's S-rank mission file mentioned: Minato Namikaze came to Roran during the interval between the two Shinobi World Wars and helped seal the dragon vein here!
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
They now know that at this point in time, the Third Shinobi World War has already broken out.
"So, the history here has been altered?" Sasuke said with a gloomy face.
Although he has always been rather expressionless, his expression at this moment was undoubtedly more solemn.
Their most important objective on this trip is to prevent Urashiki Ōtsutsuki from changing history!
But now, history seems to have shifted without their knowledge!
This made them extremely uneasy.
"We must find the source of this historical deviation! Also, the dragon veins must be sealed off as soon as possible! We can no longer allow them to disrupt the future."
At this moment, Sasuke naturally thought: the Fourth Hokage in history must have had the same idea.
This further solidified his decision.
No one expected that these words would have such a profound impact on those around them.
The next moment, as soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Who? Who's there?"
He subconsciously activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and glared at it, dispelling an illusion created using dragon vein energy.
This exposes a terrified red-haired girl to the crowd.
Sara, the princess of Loulan, is also the female lead in the original theatrical version.
However, compared to the female lead who relied on Naruto in the original movie, Sara now has absolutely no goodwill towards the people of Konoha.
Even after being discovered, he simply gave up and angrily shouted at them.
"You bunch of scoundrels! Ungrateful wretches! Just a few days ago, it was Mother who saved you in the desert, and now you're plotting to seal our dragon veins!"
You're all liars! You're all big bad guys!
Sarah's question left the transmigrated group speechless for a moment.
When asked this question, it seems that what they did was indeed not very ethical.
Bo Ren was straightforward and didn't think too much, so he spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"We sealed the dragon veins to uphold the correct course of history; we are saving the ninja world!"
Sara, her eyes still red, questioned, "You saved the ninja world, so why don't you care about our lives?"
After the dragon vein is sealed, how will Loulan continue?
Why is it that your interpretation of history is correct?
When you came, you asked why Mother was still alive. So, in your eyes, is death the only right path for her?
At that moment, Hinata Hanabi trembled involuntarily when asked the question, and was speechless.
Because she accidentally blurted out that question.
She was the only one in the team who remembered Konoha's mission records from back then.
She clearly remembered that when Minato Namikaze first came here on a mission, the Loulan Queen he mentioned was already Sara.
But at present, Sarah's mother is still alive, and Sarah is just a princess, not a queen.
Hinata Hanabi was puzzled by this.
Her mind was filled with fear: What if history was rewritten? Where exactly did it go astray? Was it all the work of Urashiki Otsutsuki?
Completely ignoring the fact that her question instantly shattered Sarah's initial impression of them!
What they consider to be the correct history is, to others, a terrifying loss of their mother!
"You bunch of self-righteous, ungrateful bastards!"
Sarah mustered all her strength and shouted angrily, as if she had roared out all her dissatisfaction and anger in one breath, then turned and ran away without looking back.
With the strength of the people in the room, they could have easily caught up with an ordinary girl like Sarah.
At this moment, Sasuke, Hyuga Hanabi, and Gaara all began to waver because of Sara's repeated questions.
Is the historical trajectory we uphold truly correct?
Only Boruto, whose mind couldn't handle such complex questions, volunteered to chase after them when he saw that no one else was moving.
"Station owner! Don't run! Stop right now!"
Boruto's pursuit made Sara run even more anxiously and frantically.
As a result, she accidentally stepped into an empty space.
The Queen's palace is located atop a high tower, which is the origin of the movie's title, The Lost Tower.
With this misstep, Sarah immediately fell from a height of more than ten meters.
"ah!!"
In the critical moment, Sasuke instinctively prepared to use Amenotejikara to save the person.
Just then, a whooshing sound rapidly approached from the sky!
A figure with paper wings extending from its back caught Sarah in mid-air and carried her to the other side of the tower.
There, Shiba Kiyokawa, Nagato, and Yekura were all present, standing beside the contemporary Loulan Queen, gazing at the group of people who had traveled from the future.
"Sarah, my daughter, are you alright?" The Queen quickly took Sarah from Xiao Nan's arms and asked with concern.
She then turned to Yekura and said, "Lord Kazekage, what happened before really had nothing to do with Loulan. The Konoha ninjas you are looking for are these people over there."
