Chapter 218 Time Barrier

   "Queen Sarah, our mission has been completed, the hundred feet have been given the head, and Naruto and the others have returned to the past."

  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 the 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 with faint dragon energy has begun to have an illusory trend.

   "This... can't it be stopped?"

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

   "Sorry, we have no way to stop the time and space characteristics of dragon pulse energy."

   Satoru 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 emergence of a parallel world, the original dragon veins should have been inspired by time travel, not time and space 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 that ordinary seals can deal with.

   "The city of Loulan disappears, or the dragon veins disappear, or both disappear... There are only three possibilities."

   Watergate's special talent for time and space made him feel that the space where the entire Loulan City was located was extremely unstable.

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

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

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

   "There is not much land suitable for survival in the desert. If we give up Loulan City and choose to migrate, I can still imagine how difficult it will be."

  Sarah smiled: "Also, we don't want to give up our homeland.

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

   Frankly speaking, Sarah doesn’t want to forget all this—it’s her treasure.

   But choosing to forget and let the secret of the dragon veins disappear forever is the safest way.

   "Do you have a way to keep the city of Loulan and at the same time separate the seal dragon veins?"

  Sara looked at Satoru who had been silent:

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

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

   "What deal?"

   "I will give you the dragon veins, Konoha is responsible for protecting the safety of Loulan forever - as long as Konoha is still there, this transaction will take effect forever!"

  “…”

   Satoru and Minato were both stunned, and then, while admiring, they also laughed wryly.

   "Sorry, Her Majesty, your determination is admirable to us, but we cannot decide this condition, and the three generations of Hokage will not agree."

"why……"

  Sara finally got a little anxious: "Can't the value of the dragon veins be exchanged for Konoha's guard?"

   "Three reasons."

  Wu raised three fingers: "First, the location of Loulan is destined to be out of reach of Konoha, and this time we were ordered to come here to deal with special events.

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

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

   Originally, Konoha, the strongest of the five hidden villages, will force the other four countries to unite against us, which we do not want to see anyway. "

  Satoru's words made Sarah lowered her head in disappointment, and she suddenly found something and immediately raised her head:

   "What about the third?"

   "Third, there are actually better solutions."

"better one?"

  Sarah wondered:

   "This...I can't think of it."

   and Minato looked at each other, Satoru nodded and said:

   "Through the study of dragon veins distorting time and space, I have mastered a lot of the secrets of time. Therefore, I can arrange a large enchantment - a large enchantment that covers the entire Loulan."

  Arcane projection appeared in Wu's hand. In the projection was Loulan with towering towers, and a huge spherical purple enchantment enveloped the entire city:

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

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

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

   However, correspondingly, it is not necessary to clear your memory. "

   "When twenty years later, the disturbance of time is completely synchronized, Loulan does not need the protection of the enchantment, and the dragon veins will return to normal——

   As always. "

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

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

   "How is it, Her Majesty?"

   "Senior Brother Wu... is this okay?"

   Minato frowned: "You are equivalent to shouldering the responsibility of the village alone, you don't have to do this, the three generations of Hokage 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."

  Satoru explained calmly:

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

   But it doesn't make any sense, the dragon vein body must stay in Loulan, as the energy to open the channel between the two worlds 20 years later.

   And the loss of half of the energy can still be recovered slowly - just like the destroyed tailed beast, it will always be reborn. "

  Wu spread out his hands: "My proposal, Loulan has been protected by the Time Barrier, and can ignore the covetousness of the Kingdom of Wind, Her Majesty the Queen has preserved a precious memory.

   I got half of the special energy of the dragon veins, which helped me a lot.

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

   This is a triple win situation. "

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

   Watergate was convinced, and Kakashi, who had been unable to speak, finally found an opportunity:

   "Teacher Wu, you are worthy of being a top scholar, your brain is better than Mr. Minato."

   "Boom!"

   Minato smiled and let Kakashi be honest.

   The double reeds of the two sang, and Sarah finally made up her mind.

   "Then, Lord Satoru, do as you say!"

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

   "As you wish."
