Rouran Queen Sāya held her daughter Sara's hand.
Accompanied by Yamanaka Kei, Tenten, Hinata, and Saya, they headed towards the core of the Dragon Vein.
Although reluctant to part with the three, she knew that these children had gazed at the stars in the sky countless times at night, longing for their families.
In the future, they would surely meet again!
Bright incandescent lights illuminated the dim environment of the tunnel.
Tenten, Hinata, and Saya ran their fingers along the walls of the tunnel, their eyes also filled with reluctance.
Everything here was built by them, bit by bit, with the residents of Rouran.
Six years!
How many can one have in a lifetime...
Well, the average lifespan of Konoha's higher-ups in the future is too high, they may indeed have many six years.
But those days of laughter, tears, emotion, and grievance.
Are worth remembering for a lifetime.
Exiting the underground tunnel, which was hundreds of meters long.
A vast underground complex gradually revealed itself.
In the towering underground cave, huge Chakra pipelines with a diameter of more than one meter were arranged in an orderly manner.
In the well-organized workshops, the strong Rouran residents performed their duties.
Some used Dragon Vein energy to drive large machines to process parts, while others mass-produced various kinds of daily necessities.
They all seemed like very basic things.
But Yamanaka Kei knew that whether it was the merger of the Wind Country, Land of Fire, and Earth Country, or the battles with Mist Village and Cloud Village, the people of the Hokage world would inevitably be affected by the war.
And these things were the supplies that the people urgently needed after the war!
Yamanaka Kei gave Tenten, Hinata, and Saya a thumbs up, three seemingly delicate little girls.
This mission was really completed wonderfully!
As for whether so many things would have an impact on the future.
As long as the productivity of the ninjas is released, it's just a matter of more people, how much impact can it have?
Passing through the dense underground production area.
Queen Sāya, holding Sara's hand, took the lead and walked deeper underground, into an ancient building that was clearly not of this era.
"The light rising from the heights of Rouran, the mixed feelings, the Dragon Vein that must be protected, the white blade enters, gazing at the sky, sand and storms come together, the dazzling brilliance of the sun, flowers dance and scatter, the Golden Light passed down through time, cutting off the darkness, life blooms..."
The mother and daughter hummed an ancient melody.
The Dragon Vein hidden deep underground seemed to respond to their melody, and the purple special Chakra light flickered like breathing.
Illuminating the somewhat dim underground tunnel.
"Hmm?"
Yamanaka Kei glanced at Sāya and Sara, who were in front of him.
The lullaby that this mother and daughter sang had some differences in content from the lullaby in his previous life's memory.
The last two lines of the lyrics.
In his memory, it was, 'The light inherited on the spiral, cuts off the dragon's hand and heads to the inner court.'
But now it has become, 'The Golden Light inherited in time and space, cuts off the dark life and blooms.'
Is it the change he made by traveling through time and space?
No, it shouldn't be.
In the original work, Namikaze Minato had already sealed the Dragon Vein at the end of the Third Shinobi World War.
It wasn't until later, with the appearance of Hyakuzu, that the seal was broken.
After that, the Dragon Vein completely disappeared.
In other words, Namikaze Minato most likely never used the power of the Dragon Vein, let alone went back in time to change anything.
"So... people from a long time ago communicated with the Dragon Vein and gained the ability to peek into a corner of the future, just like Gamamaru?"
Yamanaka Kei pondered for a long time in his heart.
Unable to come up with an answer, he stopped racking his brains.
There are many secrets in the Naruto world, whether it is Mouryou or the Gelel Stone, or the so-called Sky Ninja Fortress. If he really had to work hard to pursue the source of each one.
Then he would be exhausted to death.
Sara, who had been holding her mother Sāya's hand, would look back at Yamanaka Kei from time to time.
Looking from head to toe, and then from toe to head.
On that immature little face of only thirteen or fourteen years old, there was a look of expectation, a look of entanglement, and a look of incomprehension and doubt.
Compared to the Rouran Queen in the original work, whose mother died early and who was treated as a puppet for a long time.
The current Sara is obviously more innocent.
She couldn't hide anything on her face at all.
Seeing Yamanaka Kei turn his gaze to her and give her an inquiring look.
Sara bit her lower lip, carefully considering her words as she asked.
"Kei-sama, are you, are you the Golden Light?"
"This... although it's a bit arrogant to admit it directly, if there are no accidents, it should be."
Yamanaka Kei touched the tip of his nose, subconsciously thinking that the Golden Light Sara was referring to was the one sung in the lullaby.
"Oh~ then you are my succ—"
Sara's small mouth was blocked by Sāya.
Afterward, the graceful Queen of Rouran gave Yamanaka Kei an apologetic smile, her cheeks flushed.
"Kei-sama, I'm sorry. Because of TenTen and the others, I learned some things about the future, so I occasionally told Sara about the golden light in the prophecy that would become the new king of Rouran. Sara may have misunderstood."
"It's nothing, Sara is a very cute child."
Yamanaka Kei waved his hand, understanding in his heart.
He also understood what Sara was trying to shout just now.
Too bad.
Sāya reacted too quickly, and she didn't shout it out!
TenTen smiled so wide that her eyes disappeared, Hinata covered her mouth, trying not to laugh, and Saya exaggeratedly slapped the wall.
Sāya glared at the three of them reproachfully.
She twisted her daughter Sara's little ear and quickly walked towards the depths of the Dragon Vein.
Yamanaka Kei followed behind them with a smile. Facing Sara's resentful gaze, he spread his hands, putting on a 'don't blame me' expression.
They arrived at the deepest part of the Dragon Vein.
Sāya and her daughter Sara worked together to drive the power of the Dragon Vein and opened the closed door.
A dazzling purple light bloomed from the door.
When the light dissipated.
Yamanaka Kei stepped forward.
In a large building resembling a giant atrium.
The rich Dragon Vein energy, which had completely turned into liquid, rolled and surged in the atrium like boiling pool water, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations that were shocking.
The stone bridge under everyone's feet extended from the door to the platform in the center of the atrium.
That is the gathering point of the Dragon Vein energy revealed by Rouran, and also the control switch of the Rouran Dragon Vein!
"Sever the dragon hand... so this is a point where the dragon's claw protrudes from the Dragon Vein?"
Yamanaka Kei stepped onto the stone bridge. After Sāya, her daughter Sara, and the three of TenTen followed, he closed the stone door again.
Sending TenTen and the others back to their original time will inevitably generate strong energy fluctuations.
And Dragon Vein energy is very likely to have some negative effects on ordinary people.
Yamanaka Kei came to the Dragon Vein switch, which looked like a stone eye.
He waved to TenTen, Hinata, and Saya.
He raised his hand and once again used Sage Art Chakra to tap TenTen's forehead three times.
In the slight Chakra mist, a time-travel controller, the size of a washbasin and just enough to be installed on this Dragon Vein switch, appeared in his hand.
He placed it on the Dragon Vein switch.
As the controller lit up with purple Dragon Vein energy.
Yamanaka Kei quickly set the precise time for the time-travel and exited the central platform area.
"Elder Sister Sāya, little sister Sara, we'll come find you again when we get back~"
Tenten waved goodbye to Sāya and Sara.
"The seniority is wrong~"
Saya complained helplessly, and also began to say goodbye to Sāya and Sara.
Hinata took out her treasured gauntlets from her bosom, handed them to Sara, her big eyes full of reluctance.
"Sly Hinata, you actually hid a gift! Saya and I didn't prepare anything~"
"N-no, it's just, just..."
Accompanied by the farewells of the three sisters, and Sāya and Sara's reluctant instructions.
A strong Dragon Vein energy fluctuation Burst open.
Only a few seconds passed.
Tenten, Hinata, and Saya disappeared from the platform.
And the Dragon Vein energy also retreated back into the atrium.
Yamanaka Kei narrowed his eyes, not letting go of any detail of the time-space travel just now.
After pondering for a long while.
Looking at the Dragon Vein energy still rolling and surging under his feet, with almost no consumption, he sighed inwardly at the enormity of this energy.
"Wait for me for a minute."
Yamanaka Kei said to Sāya and Sara.
He walked to the Dragon Vein control switch, and according to the information in the Genjutsu memory, he readjusted the time to go to the past.
He got up and waved to the mother and daughter.
In the Dragon Vein energy that Burst open once again, his figure disappeared from the platform.
