Chapter 246 (1/2)
At the top of a tall tower on the outskirts of Rowan, Sarah stood.
She was dressed in a dark crimson short dress that did not fit the image of a queen at all, her slender waist was wrapped in a wide black belt, her red hair fluttered in the wind, and her thin white legs, which seemed to have no great strength, stood firmly on the edge of a high platform.
At this moment, nineteen-year-old Sarah was unwittingly showing off her beauty to the fullest.
She stared into the distance.
There was a strong worry in his eyes.
In the distance, the raging sand could be seen moving in the direction of Rouran, something that had happened many times recently.
She had relied on her barrier ninjutsu and her guard to somehow resist the advancing sand, but now she had to throw all of Rouran's shinobi at it, so there was no one to deliver the water to.
Ordinary civilians are simply not able to cross this sandstorm.
If this continues, soon all of Rouran will be swallowed up by the sand.
”Why didn't you contact me earlier?»
It is not known when the figure of Yeruashi appeared on the platform behind Sarah.
Sarah whirled around.
A variety of emotions flashed through her eyes, including joy and shame, and she rushed forward and hugged Yeruashi tightly, but after a moment, she pulled her hands away.
Sarah f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y suppressed the emotions in her heart and looked into Yeruashi's eyes with hesitation, ” Your eyes...this...»
”This is a new power.»
Yeruashi reached out and stroked Sara's dirty hair as she was about to say something, and looked at the sandstorm approaching Rouran.
He placed his right hand on Sarah's shoulder, at the same time folding a series of seals with his left, and then took a deep breath and exhaled in the direction of the sandstorm.
Senjutsu-Fuuton: A Gust Of Wind!
A fierce gust of wind burst out of Yeruashi's mouth, instantly turning into a huge storm that collided with the oncoming sandstorm.
The raging wind and the sandstorm collided violently, soon the sandstorm that was approaching Rouran was smashed and gushed in the opposite direction.
Sarah lost touch with reality for a while, watching this scene.
In the past, Yeruashi had already demonstrated great strength, killing a large number of Suna Shinobi in the blink of an eye, but this was not so exaggerated, compared to this Fuuton, who forced a huge sandstorm to retreat! Yeruashi just folded a few seals with his left hand and didn't seem to be tense at all!!
He is able to resist the forces of nature!
Yeruashi lowered his hand, looked at Sara, and smiled gently, ” If this continues, I'm afraid Rouran won't be able to hold out for too long.»
”I...I heard that you became the fifth Hokage and did not want to cause you unnecessary problems.»
Sara shyly lowered her head, not daring to look into Yeruashi's eyes, the queen's imposing manner disappeared without a trace...I'm the queen here.»
”Yes, yes, I know.»
Yeruashi smiled.
She obviously loves him, but she doesn't want to cause any trouble, which is why he likes Sarah.
Yeruashi turned and looked into the distance. It could be seen that his Fuuton had pushed the sandstorm almost to the horizon, but soon it began to move again in the direction of Rouran.
”Such sandstorms...Did they descend on Rouran because of the disappearance of the Dragon Vein?»
”Yes...»
Sarah nodded, looking anxiously at the sandstorm that had gathered in the distance: ”About two years after you left, the power of the Dragon Vein finally dissipated and Rouran began to encounter such sandstorms more and more often.»
With the loss of the Dragon Vein, the environment has become even more harsh and aggressive than before, and maintaining such a city in the middle of the desert is extremely difficult.
”It looks like I should give up...»
Sarah sighed heavily.
She really didn't want to leave the kingdom that was left by her mother, but now it seems like there is no other choice. Even if Yeruashi is able to block sandstorms, he can't always stay here to watch over Rouran.
With the loss of the Dragon Vein, Rouran lost the power that held back the extremely unfriendly and aggressive environment.
”Do you want to go to the Land of Fire or do you want to stay here?»
Yeruashi looked at Sara and asked.
Sarah looked at Rouran behind her, a hint of bitterness in her eyes: ”I wish I could stay here, but the sand will eventually engulf the city...»
Yeruashi smiled: ”Are you sure you want to stay here?»
”Yes...»
”But that's not possible...»
Of course, Sarah wants to stay in the city that she inherited from her late mother, but according to her assumption, the number of sandstorms will only increase over time. They can block one storm, but not ten or a hundred.
A person is not able to resist the forces of nature all his life.
”No.»
”It's actually not that difficult.»
