This inevitably made them quicken their pace.
Before long, the scene before them came fully into view.
What they saw seemed to be something like a lake.
The purple glow was naturally being emitted by the lake itself.
However, the intense Chakra fluctuations coming from it clearly indicated that it was definitely not water.
They had no idea what it actually was.
But they quickly recalled what Yamato had said about the mysterious treasure of the Country of Roran.
At this moment, the Dragon Vein truly did resemble a lake, though it was clearly far from tranquil.
It churned from time to time within the deep pit, and like magma, several bubbles would occasionally rise to the surface.
Naruto was obviously too excited as he shouted, "What the hell is this?!"
Yet no one paid him any attention. Yamato, who had caught up from behind, froze on the spot as well.
But because of Hinata's earlier destruction, the bridge leading to the center of the Dragon Vein had completely collapsed.
As a result, some rubble still remained around the gap.
And because of Naruto and the others' arrival, a stone that had already been wobbling unsteadily—
The disturbance caused by Naruto and the others finally threw it off balance.
As the chunk of rubble fell,
And smashed completely into the Dragon Vein,
It seemed to trigger some invisible mechanism...
In that instant, the Dragon Vein erupted into turmoil once more.
Purple liquid surged upward from the ground, forming a massive wave like a tsunami.
Then, as though deliberately targeting Naruto and the others, it crashed directly down upon them.
On this day, it was once again time for Rōran's monthly address.
As usual, their Queen of Roran would offer emotional and spiritual comfort to all the people of Rōran.
