Lan Luo watched the Loulan Queen's pretty face flush red and felt a surge of amusement. "Stupid woman, your Loulan has a Dragon Vein but no power to protect it. You are destined for annihilation."
Then, Lan Luo activated his Sharingan and, through genjutsu, showed the Loulan Queen her future self, making her choose to be killed by Mukade, her daughter nearly dying after being deceived, and her clan reduced to dozens of members. Ultimately, the Dragon Vein still vanished, and Loulan eventually disappeared into the desert.
The Loulan Queen believed Lan Luo's genjutsu because there was no need for him to lie; everything he wanted could be obtained through his power. She also saw the disdain in the man's eyes.
She wanted to change everything, but she had no good ideas. Thinking of this, she involuntarily embraced the man in front of her and cried bitterly in his arms.
Lan Luo was also stunned at this moment. 'I just said one sentence, one genjutsu, and the Queen is hugging me and crying. What kind of scene is this?' Lan Luo had no choice but to slowly pat the Loulan Queen's back with a stiff hand.
After crying for a while, the Loulan Queen slowly raised her head, her eyes red, and asked Lan Luo, "What should I do?"
Lan Luo looked at her red hair, his heart stirred, and he subtly checked her meridians with his hand. She wasn't from the Uzumaki Clan, but she was a bit stronger than an ordinary Ninja; after all, in Hokage, it's all about bloodlines.
"Gain power to change everything." Lan Luo simply stated these eight words.
At this moment, the Loulan Queen also realized she was in someone else's arms. She involuntarily pushed herself out of Lan Luo's embrace, her pretty face crimson.
"Specifically, how should I go about it?" The Loulan Queen asked seriously.
Lan Luo said indifferently, "I'm not a king. Why should I care about those things?" He originally didn't care much about Loulan's fate; developing in the desert was too difficult. They had to consider water sources and planting trees to resist sandstorms.
The Loulan Queen now knew that this man in front of her might truly know Loulan's future path. She slowly stepped forward, took Lan Luo's hand, and whispered, "Can you help us, Loulan? I don't want Loulan to disappear in a few decades." She now understood that this man was soft to persuasion but unyielding to force.
Hearing the Loulan Queen's words, Lan Luo also trembled. 'You're a Queen, not a little girl.' However, taking her Dragon Vein did mean he owed her a favor, so he said, "To develop Loulan, you must plant trees, using the forests around Loulan to resist sandstorms, and at the same time, ensure the diversion of water sources." The diversion of underground water in the desert is a normal occurrence, and Lan Luo estimated that Loulan's later disappearance was also caused by water source diversion.
The two then chatted on the steps inside the underground palace about desert management. Lan Luo shared drip irrigation technology from his previous life in Israel and greenhouse technology to resist sandstorms. He also warned the Loulan Queen to be wary of other Villages trying to seize resources. The Loulan Queen then talked about hiring Sand Ninja to set up drip irrigation for plants, building water tanks to collect water with Water Release, and what plants to grow. The more they talked, the more they clicked, sharing everything. One had excellent governance skills, and the other had extensive knowledge. The more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became. Through their conversation, Lan Luo learned the Queen's name was Saga, and Saga also learned that the man in front of her was a Konoha Ninja named Uchiha Lan Luo.
When Lan Luo stood up, Saga's heart trembled, knowing that Lan Luo was about to leave. Lan Luo patted his butt, as if dusting off non-existent dirt, and said, "Stupid woman, I'm leaving."
Saga rushed forward and hugged Lan Luo regardless. "Will you come back to see me?" Lan Luo, taken aback by her directness, patted her hand and said, "I've placed a spatial mark in your palace."
Saga, hearing this, rubbed her back against Lan Luo's. "If you don't come to me, I'll go to Konoha to find you." Lan Luo gave Saga a complicated look. 'I'm only 15! Although in the Ninja World, 12 is considered adulthood, I still can't get over this mental hurdle.'
Lan Luo took two steps forward, waved his hand, and disappeared in front of Saga using Kamui. Saga still couldn't understand why she felt such affection for this 'little brother' she had only known for half a day. Was it his handsome appearance, his muscular chest, his unrestrained charm, or his extensive knowledge?
Saga didn't dwell on it, her steps towards the palace becoming even more determined.
It was already evening when Lan Luo returned to the clan territory. He rested well at home for two days before reappearing before everyone.
Uchiha Fugaku reported that the Tsuchigumo Clan had been at the Uchiha Clan territory for over a week. It seemed Itachi was very concerned about his younger brother. Weakness was good; what he feared was someone without weaknesses.
When Lan Luo met the legendary The Traveler, the old man was also scrutinizing the current Uchiha Clan Leader, who sat in the main seat.
"I apologize for presumptuously disturbing The Traveler's training." Lan Luo politely exchanged pleasantries with the frail old man who was nearing his end.
Although Lan Luo spoke politely, threatening him to come to Konoha still greatly angered him. The Traveler said, "Uchiha Clan Leader, you're looking for our En No Clan for 'Rage Hair Heaven,' aren't you?" His tone was certain.
"I presume The Traveler has also experienced war. Have there been few clan members who have died over the years for your 'Rage Hair Heaven'?" Lan Luo said sincerely. The Ninja World truly was too cruel.
The Traveler, hearing him say this, immediately flared up. "That's no reason for you to forcibly seize it, and we are also allies of Konoha."
"Gyōja, there's no need to be so angry. We can share the forbidden jutsu we develop with the Tsuchigumo Clan. If we succeed, it's highly possible that everyone will be able to use Rage Hair Heaven, and your clan members won't die from being unable to withstand its energy." Lan Luo now wanted to bring the Tsuchigumo Clan into the Uchiha Clan's fold. If he didn't intervene, they would likely end up like in the original story, with only one Hotaru appearing among so many clan members, eventually fading into the history of the Ninja World in a few years.
"I don't believe any of this comes without a price." The Traveler was an old fox who had lived for decades; he didn't believe in free lunches.
"We can form a marriage alliance to expand our influence. You've experienced several Ninja World Wars, attacks from rogue Ninja and wandering Ninja. Can you imagine how long the Tsuchigumo Clan will survive without you in a few years?" Lan Luo had no other choice; among the Tsuchigumo Clan, The Traveler cared most about his granddaughter.
"If the development is successful, you can also live much longer. By then, you can protect the Tsuchigumo Clan yourself." Lan Luo said sincerely.
The Traveler was also a smart man; he had considered what Lan Luo said, but there was nothing he could do, and his time was already running out.
After a moment of silence, The Traveler said, "I need to let Hotaru choose for herself." Lan Luo looked at the frail old man with surprise. After saying so much, he had expected the old man to agree; it seemed he truly loved his granddaughter.
"Then let Hotaru come in and talk to me. That way, the three of us can make things clear." Lan Luo was determined to obtain "Rage Hair Heaven." The reason he said so much without controlling him to reveal the jutsu formula for "Rage Hair Heaven" was indeed to draw more people into the Uchiha Clan. There were still too few people, too weak, and too many 'old sixes' in the Ninja World.
The Traveler, hearing this, choked for a moment. After a quick thought, he understood the dominance of the Uchiha Clan Leader before him.
