Amidst the white clouds, Uya caught sight of Rōran below. With a slight movement, he transformed into an invisible ripple and vanished from the sky, Setsuna landing on the streets of Rōran.
"This is Rōran... but it seems the plot is quite different from the original story."
Uya stood on the street of Rōran, pondering for a moment. The Shockwave Sensing had already spread out, enveloping the entire Rōran.
In an instant, Uya discovered that there was no Mukade, that is, the minister Anrokuzan, in Rōran, nor were there any random puppets.
Even the Queen is not Sara, but Sara's mother, who is not dead.
"I remember in the original story, it seems that Mukade arrived here from the future because the Dragon Vein disrupted the spacetime, then became the minister Anrokuzan, killed Sara's mother, made Sara the new Queen of Roran, and turned her into a puppet queen."
Thinking about this, Uya realized something. The dragon Dragon Vein could distort space and time, but it needed to exist for that to work. Since Uya had already come here, the Uya Dragon Vein would definitely be suppressed and absorbed by him.
In that case, there will be no more Dragon Vein in the future, and the future Mukade, along with Naruto, will definitely not be able to cross over.
Furthermore, precisely because Mukade did not come to this world, Minato Namikaze also did not receive any secret missions, so the country is currently in a very stable state.
"In that case, let's go and have a proper talk with Her Majesty the Queen."
Uya wasn't some kind of god of war who wanted to destroy the world. Since Rōran was peaceful, Uya had no intention of causing widespread destruction, since his target was only the Dragon Vein.
On the street, Uya stood alone, dressed in a loose white robe, a stark contrast to the clothing worn by the people of Rōran.
After all, this is a world surrounded by sandstorms, so wearing a loose white robe like Uya's is highly unlikely.
Rōran was located in a remote desert, with very few outsiders and almost no news from the world.
So even though Uya Uya only lingered on the street for a moment, some people noticed him and showed extremely vigilant expressions, even calling for the Rōran guards.
"That's him, that guy is very suspicious." A resident of Rōran cautiously pointed in Uya's direction.
Beside him stood two Rōran guards clad in armor.
The two guards exchanged a glance and then walked towards Uya Uya, preparing to interrogate this outsider.
Rōran is located in the desert, and outsiders are very rare. Uya's attire and clothing clearly indicate that he is an outsider. What's even stranger is that Uya, wearing such a loose white robe, was able to cross the desert.
The stranger it seemed, the more suspicious Uya became.
As the two guards approached Uya, some residents of Rōran behind them watched.
However, just as the two guards reached behind Uya and were about to question him, Uya Uya vanished!
In broad daylight, they vanished without a trace in an instant, leaving not a single trace, which terrified the two guards.
The residents of Rōran hadn't paid much attention at first, but when they saw Uya suddenly disappear, they all showed expressions of horror.
Is this... a ghost?!
Ghosts in broad daylight?! How terrifying!
Neither the ordinary residents of Rōran nor the guards could possibly see Uya's movements clearly. Even the movements of ordinary Jonin were barely visible to them, let alone Uya's.
Startled, the two guards hurriedly turned around and ran towards the central building of Rōran, hoping to report the matter to Her Majesty the Queen as soon as possible.
Inside the palace.
The Queen of Roran sat at the head of the table, listening to the ministers below respond to their questions about governance and other trivial matters.
Beside her sat a slightly smaller seat, where her daughter, Princess Sara, was also listening to various government affairs, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Noticing her daughter's appearance, the Queen of Roran nodded to herself, pondering when it might be time for her to inherit the throne; perhaps she could govern the country better.
Whoosh!!
Just then, quite abruptly, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the ministers and stood before her.
The figure, dressed in a loose white robe, was none other than Uya.
Uya's appearance startled everyone present. Queen of Roran was alright, but Sara, being younger, even gasped in surprise, revealing a look of terror.
A person suddenly appears out of nowhere in broad daylight—is it a ghost?!
"Oh no! An assassin!"
"Protect Her Majesty the Queen!"
The ministers behind them were also horrified. Then, when they realized that Uya's figure did not resemble a ghost, they all cried out.
Hearing the commotion inside the palace, the guards rushed in and were all surprised to see Uya standing there.
How did this guy get in? How come they didn't notice anything while they were guarding outside?!
"Quickly take down the assassin!"
Several guards took a deep breath, each gripping their weapons as they charged towards Uya. Their weapons seemed to have been modified by the power of the Dragon Vein, possessing the characteristics of ninja tools and emitting a dim light.
The ministers stepped back, while the Queen of Roran pulled her daughter Sara into her arms, looking at Uya with extreme vigilance.
But, in the very next instant, a scene that shocked everyone unfolded.
The soldiers, armed with weapons, had only rushed within a few meters of Uya when they suddenly froze, as if stuck in a quagmire.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and then cracks appeared in all the weapons and armor they held!
Click!!
The cracks continued to spread, completely covering the weapons and armor. Finally, under the shocked gazes of countless people, the steel armor and weapons turned into dust and scattered on the ground!
The soldiers were unharmed by this force, as if it only targeted their weapons and armor.
Looking at their empty hands and the completely vanished armor, several soldiers couldn't help but rub their eyes, their expressions as if they were dreaming.
What... happened?!
Uya stood there, and suddenly waved his sleeve at the steel dust scattered on the ground. In Setsuna, a gust of wind swept through, blowing all the dust out of the palace windows.
Only the soldiers, stripped of their armor and weapons, and the ministers, their faces filled with horror and disbelief, remained in the arena. (To be continued.)
