Rōran Palace·Main Hall.
The sun shines on the ground through the tall windows of the palace, and the golden light spots reflect on the stone bricks with exquisite carvings, making the entire hall look solemn and mysterious.
On the throne, Queen Sara, dressed in a purple robe, sat quietly, her expression a bit shocked, her hands clenched slightly, as if she still had not recovered from the scene in front of her.
Because--Shinichi and Tsunade are back!
Shinichi and Tsunade stepped into the palace with firm steps, their figures cast slender shadows on the ground by the sunlight.
Sara looked at them, with mixed emotions flashing in his eyes, like surprise and disbelief.
She once thought that they had disappeared into the time and space of the Dragon Vein riot and could never return...
But now, these two powerful ninjas miraculously stood in front of her again!
Shinichi smiled slightly and spoke first, with a calm tone but with a hint of exploration:
"Queen Sara, please tell me, how long have Tsunade and I been away?"
Little Tsunade also stared at Sara, her heart also full of questions.
How long had they been gone?
Is there any deviation in the time flow rate?
Sara took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said slowly--
"About three days..."
"After you left, Rōran fell into a brief chaos."
Her fingers gently rubbed the armrests of the throne, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes, and she continued:
"I didn't expect that Dragon Vein would suddenly riot, let alone... you could come back."
There was a hint of surprise and undisguised awe in her voice.
Dragon Vein's riot is a distortion of time and space that goes beyond conventional ninjutsu. Theoretically speaking, anyone involved in it has almost no possibility of coming back.
But Shinichi and little Tsunade stood in front of her again, as if fate could not control their existence!
Confirm the time and take the next step!
Hearing this answer, Shinichi and little Tsunade were both slightly startled, and then looked at each other, with a trace of imperceptible relief flashing in their eyes.
"Three days... It seems that our timeline has not deviated much."
Shinichi thought secretly in his heart, and then, with a faint smile on his lips, he looked at Sara and said in a relaxed tone:
"Since we can still come back, it means that the energy of Dragon Vein is still stable."
"But..." He paused slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said with a hint of meaning in his tone, "When we come back this time, we won't just 'disappear' again."
Tsunade also raised the corner of his mouth, and his tone was a bit eager to try. "Yes, we still have a lot of things to do!"
Sara looked at their expressions, and felt a slight shock in his heart. He faintly felt that the fate of this world might have been completely changed by their return...
Their return was an unexpected miracle for her, but at this moment, Shinichi's eyes held an unquestionable determination, as if she had made some important decision.
He spoke slowly, his voice was steady, but it carried an irresistible intimidation--
"Queen Sara, Tsunade and I can transform the area near Country of Roran into an oasis so that you no longer rely on the power of Dragon Vein to survive..."
"But the condition is-I want to take Dragon Vein away!"
Sara's pupils suddenly shrank, and he leaned forward slightly, staring at Shinichi in disbelief.
"You said... what?!"
There was a hint of shock in her voice, even subconscious resistance!
Dragon Vein is the lifeline of Rōran and the foundation that supports the existence of this country!
If there is no Dragon Vein, can Country of Roran continue to survive?
However, the next second, Shinichi's voice sounded again, with a calm tone but with absolute confidence:
"Although Dragon Vein is powerful, its existence may not be a good thing for Rōran."
"Relying on the power of Dragon Vein is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Once the energy riots, Rōran will become a ruin in an instant."
His eyes darkened slightly and continued:
"But if Rōran could have a real oasis, then we would no longer have to rely on this dangerous energy."
"I can use Konoha's ninjutsu and the special Sealing Jutsu to create an oasis around Rōran and turn it into an environment suitable for survival again."
He slowly raised his hand, turning his palm slightly, and a ray of golden-blue lightning flowed on his fingertips, faintly intertwined with the extremely pure Natural Energy, exuding a heart-stopping sense of oppression.
Sara was slightly shocked. She was not a fool. Of course she knew that Shinichi was not talking big words!
He can really do this!
The entire hall fell into a brief silence.
Sara clenched his hands slightly, struggling in his heart.
"Can Rōran continue to survive without Dragon Vein?"
"If you are still attached to Dragon Vein, will Rōran be completely destroyed one day in the future due to the Dragon Vein riot?"
Her thoughts were surging, and she looked at Shinichi with complicated eyes.
He stood there, his long black hair flickering slightly in the light, her figure reflected in his purple pupils, his expression calm and determined, as if everything was under control.
This is a gamble.
But... maybe, Shinichi's proposal is Rōran's real hope!
She took a deep breath, her eyes became firm, and she slowly said:
"... Okay, I promise you."
Although her voice was steady, it revealed a subtle tremor.
"I will hand over Dragon Vein to you, but I hope that you can fulfill your promise and truly let Rōran have an oasis that can sustain its survival."
Shinichi smiled slightly and slowly stretched out his hand, "It's a deal."
Sara looked at him, and finally stretched out his hand, lightly touching Shinichi's palm, and concluded this deal about Rōran's future.
At this moment, the fate of Rōran was completely rewritten!
Rōran Palace·Guest room.
The moonlight is like water, falling in the Rōran Palace. The desert at night is a bit cool, and the breeze passes through the window lattice and gently flutters the curtains.
Shinichi and little Tsunade were sitting in the room prepared for them by the palace. A sheepskin map was spread out on the table, marking the terrain of Rōran and the surrounding desert areas.
On the map, Country of Roran's territory is swallowed up by the desert, and there are very few green areas. Only the flow of Chakra from Dragon Vein can maintain this area's vitality.
Now, they want to create a real oasis so that Country of Roran does not need to rely on Dragon Vein for survival!
Shinichi is sitting cross-legged, the golden blue Mangekyō Sharingan is shining slightly, and his eyes are full of thinking.
"Hey, Tsunade..."
He spoke slowly, tapping a desert area on the map with his finger, a firm light shining in his eyes.
"I will use Sage Art·Wood Release·Deep Forest Emergence, and use the strongest Wood Release power to forcibly create a forest in this desert that is strong enough to support Rōran."
"But...Wood Release alone is not enough."
He raised his head and looked deeply at Tsunade, "Can you use Water-Style Sage Art to completely stabilize the oasis I created and make it truly a place of life?"
Wood Release can shape the forest, but if there is no water source, it will only be short-lived.
This desert lacks rain and has few underground water veins. The forest built by Wood Release alone will eventually wither and wither.
However, if there are Water-Style Sage Art from Tsunade and water is continuously poured into it, the oasis can take root and grow, no longer relying on Chakra for maintenance, but truly become a sustainable ecosystem!
When little Tsunade heard this, his amber pupils lit up slightly, a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he stretched and said slowly -
"Of course."
She crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows confidently, and hummed softly:
"Water Release Sage Art Combined with the power of Wood Release, I can simulate underground water veins and even create an artificial river to stabilize the ecology of the entire oasis."
"But..."
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Shinichi with a slightly playful tone:
"How big of an oasis are you going to build?"
Shinichi Hearing this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, a meaningful light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled crookedly, with unabashed arrogance and confidence in his tone--
"Of course I tried my best."
He stretched out his finger and tapped the map on the table, his eyes flashing with the flame of ambition:
"If you just build a small oasis casually, it would be too shabby."
"I want Country of Roran to become a miracle in the desert, a place of life that is more prosperous than Land of Fire!"
"Otherwise, I would be embarrassed if I just took away Dragon Vein."
When little Tsunade heard this, he was startled, and then burst into laughter.
"You guys are really domineering..."
She narrowed her eyes, the smile on her lips deepened, and there was a glimmer of eagerness in her eyes.
"But--I like it!"
She slammed the table and her eyes became extremely firm:
"Since we want to do it, we must make it the largest oasis! Otherwise, we will be sorry for Rōran and our abilities!"
Shinichi laughed, folded his arms, "Then it's decided."
