Guardians of Tirisfal of Konoha

Chapter 218 Time Barrier

"Queen Sara, our mission has been completed, Centipede has given its head, and Naruto and the others have returned to the past era."

Satoru, Minato, and Kakashi have an important conversation with Sara, Queen of Loulan:

"Because of the distortion of time, if it is not controlled, the entire Loulan City, which uses dragon veins as its power source, will gradually break away from the flow of time and gradually disappear."

In fact, Sara has discovered that the tower, which is rippling with faint dragon vein energy, has begun to have a tendency to be illusory.

"This...can't be stopped?"

Sara looked sad. As the Queen of Loulan who can guide the energy of dragon veins, she had already guessed this matter.

"I'm sorry, we can't stop the time-space characteristics of dragon vein energy."

Wu sighed, in fact, he already understood the reason.

If it wasn't for his appearance, or the activation of the book of Medivh, which led to the appearance of parallel worlds, the original dragon veins should have been inspired by time travel, not time travel.

In other words, originally it was enough to seal the dragon veins and let Naruto and the others shuttle back.

But now, the dragon veins with the characteristics of time and space are no longer something ordinary seals can deal with.

"The disappearance of Loulan City, or the disappearance of the dragon veins, or the disappearance of both...there are only three possibilities."

Minato's special talent for time and space allows him to feel that the entire space where Loulan City is located is extremely unstable.

"Make a decision, Your Majesty, time is running out."

Sara shook her head: "In the past when the dragon's veins were always sealed, the people of Loulan City survived just as tenaciously."

Without any hesitation, Sarah chose Loulan City: "For me, the people are the most important."

"There are not many lands suitable for survival in the desert. If we abandon Loulan City and choose to migrate, I can still imagine how difficult it will be."

Sara smiled: "Besides, we don't want to give up our homeland.

What's more, we have to lose this memory, right? "

Frankly, Sarah doesn't want to forget about it - it's a treasure of hers.

But it is the safest way to choose to forget and let the secret of the dragon vein disappear forever.

"You have a way to separate and seal the dragon veins while keeping Loulan City?"

Sara looked at Satoru who had been silent all this time:

"Although you said that dragon veins cannot be dealt with by ordinary seals, I can see that you have other methods.

Then, as the Queen of Loulan, I want to make a deal with you Konoha. "

"What deal?"

"I will give you the dragon veins, and Konoha is responsible for protecting Loulan's safety forever—as long as Konoha is still there, this deal will always take effect!"

"..."

Both Satoru and Minato were stunned, and then they both praised and smiled wryly.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, we admire your determination, but we cannot decide on this condition, and the Third Hokage will not agree."

"Why……"

Sarah finally became a little anxious: "Could it be that the value of the dragon's veins can't be exchanged for Konoha's guards?"

"Three reasons."

Wu raised up three fingers: "First, Loulan's location is doomed to be beyond the reach of Konoha, and we were ordered to come here this time to deal with special incidents.

If Konoha ninjas enter Loulan on a large scale, Shayin Village will not be able to sit still, which is enough to trigger a large-scale war. "

"Second, the power of dragon veins will make Konoha coveted by the entire ninja world.

Konoha, who was originally the strongest in the five hidden villages, will force the other four countries to unite against us. This is something we don't want to see anyway. "

Sara lowered her head in disappointment at what Enlightenment said, but she suddenly noticed something and raised her head immediately:

"What about the third?"

"Third, there are actually better solutions."

"better one?"

Sarah wondered:

"This... I can't think of it."

Looking at Minato, Wu nodded and said:

"Through the research on the distorted time and space of dragon veins, I have mastered many secrets of time. Therefore, I can arrange a large-scale barrier—a large-scale barrier that covers the entire Loulan."

An arcane projection appeared in Wu's hand, and in the projection was the towering Loulan, and a huge spherical purple enchantment enveloped the entire city:

"The barrier of time, driven by the dragon vein as the energy source, can completely shield the time disturbance of the dragon vein, and without permission, no one can enter and leave Loulan in the barrier."

"In this way, as the center of time distortion, Loulan City is equivalent to being independent from the flow of time.

However, if the time disturbance of the dragon veins exists for a day, the enchantment must always exist, so this is both protection and shackles.

Correspondingly, however, it is not necessary to clear your memory. "

"Twenty years later, when the time disturbance is completely synchronized, Loulan will not need the protection of the enchantment, and the dragon's veins will return to normal——

Just like always. "

Wu flatly looked at the shocked Sarah, and said slowly:

"In exchange, I need to draw half of the power of the dragon's veins, and this is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with Konoha."

"How, Her Majesty?"

"Brother Wu... is this okay?"

Minato frowned: "You are equivalent to shouldering the responsibility of the village alone. You don't have to. The Third Hokage-sama may have a solution."

"No, Minato, this is also for me personally, the power of the dragon veins can greatly speed up my research progress."

Wu explained quite frankly:

"If I want, I can directly drain the power of the dragon's veins, even if Her Majesty the Queen can guide the dragon's veins, it can't stop me.

But it doesn't make much sense, the main body of the dragon vein must stay in Loulan as the energy source to open the passage between the two worlds after 20 years.

And half of the energy lost can still be recovered slowly - just like the tailed beast that was wiped out will always be reborn. "

Wu spread his hands: "My proposal, Loulan is protected by the Time Barrier, can ignore the coveting of the Kingdom of Wind, and Her Majesty the Queen retains precious memories.

I got half of the special energy of the dragon vein, which is of great help to me.

The village will also benefit from my research, instead of incurring all the troubles mentioned before because of the complete dragon vein——

It's a win-win situation. "

"...Indeed, time and space are very unstable right now, and time is running out. This is indeed the best solution at present."

Minato was convinced, and Kakashi, who had been unable to speak, finally found a chance:

"Teacher Wu, you are indeed a top scholar, and you are more intelligent than Minato-sensei."

"Boom!"

Minato smiled and broke his head, making Kakashi calm down.

After the two reeds sang, Sarah finally made up her mind.

"Then, Master Wu, let's do as you say!"

"Loulan is not afraid of being isolated from the world - and will definitely keep this a secret!"

"As you wish."
