Chapter 104 What should I do if he really has feelings for Kushina?
The Loulan Royal Palace at sunset, on the highest terrace of the palace.
Uchiha Mitsunori slowly opened his Mangekyou Sharingan, the intricate patterns in his pupils constantly rotating.
Through the vision of "Pupil Technique: Eye of God", every area of the city was displayed before his eyes!
Every building, every street, and even the crisscrossing dragon vein energy network underground were clearly visible to him.
He didn't quite understand why Loulan had this magical energy of a dragon vein.
The fact that the royal bloodline of Loulan could communicate with the dragon vein is somewhat unscientific.
Suddenly, a series of crisp footsteps came from behind.
Queen Sarah walked onto the terrace, lifting her skirt; her long red hair shone like a vibrant red rose in the setting sun.
"Sanfeng, you've been standing here for a long time. Are you thinking about something?"
Uchiha Mitsunaka deactivated his Mangekyou Sharingan and turned around, already calm!
"Sarah, I was just thinking about something."
Queen Sarah keenly noticed the subtle wrinkles between his brows.
She approached gently, her scent carrying the fragrance of jujube blossoms: "Is it about those Konoha ninjas?"
In the distance, Minato Namikaze, along with Kakashi and the others, was examining the traces of last night's battle.
They quickly finished making their notes and prepared to return to Konoha Village.
Just as Minato Namikaze and the others turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Uchiha Mitsunaga shouted, "Minato, wait a minute!"
The sudden sound made Minato Namikaze and the others stop in their tracks.
He slowly turned around and asked with a puzzled look, "Advisor Sanfeng, is there anything else?"
Uchiha Mitsunori smiled slightly: "The power of the Dragon Vein is not yet fully stable. I need your help to place a seal."
Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback; this was not part of the mission.
He seemed somewhat embarrassed as he said, "But the Sand Village rogue ninja, Hyakuza, has already been eliminated by you... Our mission is complete."
Uchiha Mitsunori suddenly became serious, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Minato, this is my order. Give me an answer, will you obey or not!"
Minato Namikaze remained silent for a moment, clearly feeling somewhat helpless about this unreasonable order.
But in the end, he still gave a faint smile: "Alright, since it's Advisor Sanfeng's request, I will naturally comply."
Soon, the group arrived at the dragon vein altar deep underground.
A faint purple energy was constantly leaking out from here, and on the huge stone platform, several huge energy streams were meandering and flowing, seemingly guarding the altar.
Minato Namikaze crouched at the edge of the altar, gently brushing his hand across the stone surface engraved with ancient runes, attempting to analyze the function of these runes.
His voice echoed slightly in the empty underground space: "The energy of the dragon vein is indeed more active than I imagined, but the previous sealing technique should have been sufficient. Why is it necessary to reinforce the seal further?"
Uchiha Mitsunori and Queen Sara stood quietly together.
He smiled and said, "This is a preventative measure to prevent anyone from learning from the rebellious Centipede and stealing the power of the dragon vein to create chaos."
In the dim light, Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Choza Akimichi muttered under his breath, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Hey, Kakashi. Don't you think... Advisor Mikami is acting a little... off?"
Yu Nuzhi adjusted his sunglasses slightly, the parasites around him stirring restlessly: "It's normal... his current identity is the Loulan Queen's boyfriend!"
Minato Namikaze looked up, his sunny smile tinged with a hint of inquiry: "Advisor Mitsumine, you seem to know a lot about dragon veins?"
Their gazes met in the air, and an invisible contest unfolded in silence.
Queen Sara unconsciously tightened her grip on Uchiha Mitsunori's arm.
He replied expressionlessly, "Minato, begin the sealing! The sooner it's over, the sooner you can go back and hand in your mission."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Minato Namikaze frowned slightly.
But his hands began to form hand seals, his movements flowing smoothly.
With each seal completed, chakra flowed from his fingertips like a living thing, outlining intricate patterns on the stone platform.
"寅-巳-寅-巳-丑-戌......"
Minato Namikaze was a top student from a young age, and now he is a master of sealing techniques.
Uchiha Mitsuru's Mangekyou Sharingan stared intently at Minato's movements, trying to record every detail.
His mind raced as he calculated... This sealing technique is slightly different from the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques; it seems Minato Namikaze made some improvements.
Queen Sarah's eyes suddenly gleamed with a faint purple light in the dimly lit underground palace.
She murmured softly, "Strange... the dragon vein... seems to be resisting this seal?"
Sure enough, the purple energy that had been flowing calmly began to stir, surging like enraged waves.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Minato Namikaze's forehead, and he noticeably increased the speed at which he formed hand seals.
"Shiki! Choza!" Kakashi shouted sharply, instantly entering battle mode.
"Don't move, let me handle this!" Uchiha Mitsumine's voice was serious and domineering.
Susanoo instantly took shape, and a huge chakra shield stood between them, temporarily suppressing the rampaging dragon vein energy.
Minato Namikaze's blond hair danced wildly in the energy storm, but his hands remained steady: "Give me... thirty seconds!"
Queen Sarah suddenly rushed towards the center of the altar, her long hair flying in the turbulent energy, her slender figure looking as if it could be torn apart at any moment.
Uchiha Mitsunori knew what she was about to do, so he called out, "Sara, be careful!"
Queen Sarah, her eyes gleaming with determination, said, "Rest assured, I can calm it down; it's my duty!"
Her hands were placed on the altar, and she was chanting ancient incantations.
Surprisingly, the turbulent dragon vein energy really began to calm down, becoming as docile as a tamed wild beast.
Minato Namikaze seized the opportunity, slamming his final seal heavily onto the ground: "Seal!"
Golden chains emerged from the void, firmly binding the core of the dragon vein.
The entire underground palace shook violently for a moment, then returned to calm.
Night fell suddenly in the desert, and when everyone returned to the ground, the night sky was already filled with stars.
Minato Namikaze stood still, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the Uchiha Mitsurugi and Queen Sara.
The natural intimacy between the two made his heart sink.
He clenched his fists instinctively, and even his breathing became slightly lighter.
He knew all too well the allure of Sanfeng. This advisor was not only incredibly capable and had a set of rules for doing things, but most importantly, he was a master at pursuing women.
The fact that he won Princess Sara's heart in just two days is the best proof of this.
What made Minato Namikaze even more uneasy was that when Uchiha Mitsuru was in Konoha, he had jokingly mentioned that he also had feelings for Kushina.
At the time, he took it as a joke and thought that Sanfeng was teasing him.
But now that he had witnessed firsthand how he pursued women, a chill ran down his spine.
He couldn't help but feel uneasy: the three peaks of the Uchiha clan were stronger and had higher status than him. What if... what if Kushina fell in love with him after he pursued her? What would he do then? He dared not think any further, his heart filled with anxiety and unease.
With the mission completed, the team had packed their bags, and their ninja tools and scrolls were all properly arranged, ready to set off to return to Konoha Village at any time.
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart: "Advisor Sanmine, I will truthfully write up and report to the Hokage the report on this mission, as well as the relevant details of the Dragon Vein, including the matter of this additional reinforcement of the seal, without any omissions."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sanfeng waved his hand dismissively, as if it were just a trivial matter.
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, was his woman; the tacit understanding and trust between them were beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
Even if it were just adding an extra seal, or something far more outrageous, Tsunade wouldn't make things difficult for him. Minato's little report was destined to be insignificant to him, causing no ripples whatsoever.
He waved his hand impatiently, his tone dismissive: "Just record it truthfully. The Fifth Hokage... she'll understand."
After saying that, he turned to look at Sarah beside him, reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.
Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then turned and left with Kakashi and the other two without saying anything more.
The four figures gradually disappeared into the desert night, leaving only a series of footprints of varying depths, which were quickly covered by the wind and sand.
Queen Sarah leaned gently on the shoulder of the three peaks, feeling his warm embrace.
Watching the departing Konoha ninja team, she asked with some worry, "Mitsubin, will Tsunade blame you?"
Uchiha Mitsumine wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her even tighter, and gently kissed her forehead: "For you, for Loulan, even if Tsunade blames me, I'm willing."
Under the moonlight, the two figures nestled closely together, and the air was filled with a sweet atmosphere.
