Mukade pressed his hands on the stone surface of the sealing array.
A cold touch came from the fingertips, and then, the runes on the sealing array that had been silent for twenty years began to light up, first with a faint blue light, and then quickly turned into Purple Eyes.
The Purple Eyes was like a living creature, climbing up Mukade's arms, spreading along his dry blood vessels, and shrouding his whole body in a strange light.
The power of the seal is being pulled and resonated by the Chakra accumulated in his body, and the Formula set by Minato Namikaze is being reversely analyzed.
Mukade's dry face twisted into a ferocious smile, and Purple Eyes's light danced in his sunken eye sockets.
on the ground.
Naruto was shot with one palm, Wind Release Chakra condensed into a violent cyclone in the palm of the hand, and several Explosive Tag were involved in it. The talisman detonated in mid-air, and the roar was deafening, Kakkō and smoke and dust rose into the sky, but Naruto's clothes Kakuzu were not even touched. The smoke and dust dispersed, and he walked to the edge of the large pit dug by Mukade and looked down. The dark pit was bottomless, with only a few faint blue lights coming from far below.
"You're quite capable." Naruto raised his lips. Without any hesitation, he jumped up and Golden's figure disappeared into the pit. The wind whistled past his ears. He adjusted his body, stepped on the vertical rock wall with his feet to use force to slow down, and ran all the way towards the place where the light was the brightest.
When he finally passed through the gap in the dome and landed on the stone beam at the edge of the Underground Palace, even the well-informed Naruto couldn't help but hold his breath.
This Underground Palace is magnificent.
The huge Stone Pillar supports the towering dome, and the reliefs on each column are lifelike, as if they will break out of the stone at any time.
Although the murals on the dome have faded, one can still recognize the grand scene depicting Dragon Vein rushing and Rōran ancestors worshiping.
Underground Palace There is an ancient and heavy atmosphere filling the air, as if thousands of years of time have been frozen here.
This is not like a great project that can be excavated by manpower, but it exists right in front of us. It is a real man-made miracle.
However, at this moment, the light of Purple Eyes on Altar completely broke this solemn beauty.
Mukade's figure was wrapped in the runes of Purple Eyes, and those runes were spreading and squirming on his body like living parasites.
The sealing array is disintegrating, and the power of Dragon Vein is being awakened.
Naruto's blue eyes suddenly condensed, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the sword.
"Do you think you can escape?"
His voice echoed in the Underground Palace, intertwined with the deep roar coming from the depths of Dragon Vein, and kicked off the underground battle.
"Hahahaha, after you have the power of Dragon Vein, you will not be my opponent!"
Mukade's maniacal laughter echoed in the Underground Palace. His dry hands were deeply inserted into the center of the sealing array. Purple Eyes's runes had covered his entire face, reflecting his sunken eye sockets like ghosts.
He could feel an unprecedented power rising up from the depths of the earth. The power was hot and violent, like a dragon that had been imprisoned for twenty years and finally broke free Shackles.
Dragon Vein is boiling, Underground Palace is trembling, and the dragon pattern relief on Stone Pillar seems to come alive, emitting a low dragon roar.
But what Mukade never expected was that what Dragon Vein brought him was not the power he dreamed of.
The sealing array completely collapsed during the reverse analysis, and twenty years of backlog found an outlet in an instant.
It was like a pipe that had withstood extreme pressure was suddenly cut open, and the energy of Dragon Vein surged out like a flood that broke a bank.
Purple Eyes's beam of light soared into the sky from the center of Altar, instantly engulfing Mukade's figure.
He didn't even have time to let out a scream before his whole body was swept away by the raging torrent of time and space and disappeared into the beam of light.
In mid-air, Naruto's body was still falling freely. Golden's hair was blown wildly by the violent Chakra airflow. The sky-high light beam was reflected in his blue eyes, but the corners of his mouth slowly curved.
The smile of a successful plan.
"Thanks, insect."
He muttered silently in his heart, then turned his right hand over, and a Kunai appeared between his fingers.
"Flying Thunder God!"
Kunai came out of his hand and turned into a stream of Golden light that shot into the Purple Eyes light column.
Chakra on Naruto instantly established contact with Formula on Kunai, and the figure of Golden disappeared in the torrent of Purple Eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, a beautiful song came into my ears.
Naruto stood up from the Underground Palace and found himself standing on an unfamiliar stone platform.
This is still the Underground Palace of Rōran, but it is completely different from what he saw just now. The murals on the dome are colorful, and the air is filled with a moist and warm atmosphere, without a trace of decay or dilapidation.
The lighting device is gone, replaced by natural Fluorite embedded in the stone wall, which illuminates the entire Underground Palace like moonlight.
And in the center of the Underground Palace, on top of a huge Stone Pillar, a red-haired girl is standing there singing.
The girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Her long fiery red hair fell down to her waist like a waterfall, glowing like a gem in the dim light of fluorite.
Her singing voice is ethereal and distant, like the wind rising from the depths of the earth, or like the rain falling from the end of the sky. Every syllable carries the power to penetrate the soul.
There was a certain ancient rhythm in that song, which seemed to be telling the rise and fall of Rōran, and the breathing and pulsation of Dragon Vein.
Naruto was startled when he heard this.
He has seen many songs, Teacher Jiraiya humming out of tune while drinking, Shikamaru whistling by the river when he was a child, and the minor tunes that his teeth hum occasionally.
But I have never heard such singing.
The voice seemed not to belong to the human world, so ethereal that it was not stained by a trace of dust, but it also carried a heartbreaking sadness.
Then he saw tears in the corners of the girl's eyes.
A crystal teardrop was sliding down her fair cheek, shining like diamonds in the dim light of Fluorite.
The tears gathered and fell along her delicate jawline, like dewdrops dripping from the petals of a flower. They were so light that they almost made no sound, but they hit Naruto's heart heavily.
There was no crying in the girl's singing, and her expression could even be said to be calm, but the tears seemed to have accumulated for thousands of years, and finally overflowed from her eyes at this moment.
Naruto did not interrupt her singing.
He just stood quietly in the shadow of the stone platform, Golden's hair dimmed in the dim light of Fluorite, and his blue eyes stared unblinking at Red-Haired Girl on Stone Pillar.
Underground Palace was very quiet, only the ethereal singing voice was echoing, flooding his eardrums like waves.
As he listened to the singing, he suddenly felt that the Underground Palace under his feet, the dome above his head, the surrounding Stone Pillar, and even the entire Rōran Ancient City were breathing and trembling with her singing.
But that didn't happen, it was just the feeling of Naruto.
This is just a very ordinary song.
Naruto did not interrupt the girl's singing and just waited quietly.
Wait for the last syllable of the song to fall, wait for the tears to dry on the cheeks, wait for this Red-Haired Girl to turn around and find that among this empty Underground Palace, there is an extra person who shouldn't be here.
Layman Bai Juyi wrote in Song of the Pipa, "Tonight I hear your pipa language, and my ears suddenly become clear as if I were listening to fairy music."
At this time, Naruto probably felt the same way. This Girl sang really well.
Fluorite's light swayed slightly, stretching the shadows of the two people very long on the stone wall.
The wind blows from the deep passage of the Underground Palace, carrying a moist breath.
That was Rōran twenty years ago, Rōran that had not yet been swallowed up by the yellow sand.
Trivia: The Lost Tower's heroine Sara's CV has been paired with Yukino Yukinoshita's "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU", Shinobu Kocho's "Demon Slayer", Kamisato Ayaka's "Genshin Impact", Joel Forger's "Spy House", Yamato "One Piece", Hellish Blizzard "One-Punch Man", Shoko Nishimiya "A Silent Voice", Feng Baobao "The Outcast" and Himawari Uzumaki "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations".
In addition, the theme song "if" of Movie is quite nice.
