Rōran is located at the center of a desert in the Land of Wind.
There is yellow sand everywhere, and that place is in dilapidated conditions.
Originally, Rōran is a prosperous small kingdom, but because of being involved in the Third Shinobi World War, it was almost destroyed.
The last queen of Rōran, Sāra, guarded the kingdom with her own life and eventually saved some of the citizens, but the ancient kingdom of Rōran has completely become a symbol in history and no longer exists.
The rest of the Rōran's citizens lived not far from the remains of Rōran. Legend says that the descendants of Queen of Rōran have guarded Rōran's Ryūmyaku vein for generations.
Ryūmyaku vein is said to have terrifying power, but no one knows what this power is.
It is said that someone once used the power of Ryūmyaku vein to harm the Shinobi World, but that person was eventually stopped by the Yondaime Hokage, and the Yondaime Hokage also sealed the power of Ryūmyaku vein. But what happened in the end, no one actually knows.
Even in Konoha, there is no detailed record of this mission so no one knows the truth!
On this day, a strange visitor arrived in the middle of the yellow sand environment.
Silver-white hair, handsome face, a white short-sleeved windbreaker dancing with the wind.
It is Hatake Kakashi who has disappeared in the Shinobi World!
The Sharingan and the scar on Kakashi's face were already under disguise and disappeared.
Holding a map in his hand, Kakashi glanced at it, then looked around and muttered: "The remains of Rōran should be nearby."
After Kakashi finished, he put away the map in his hand, and continued to walk.
With the map, Kakashi didn't have trouble finding Rōran, and soon found the ruins.
The walls are ruined, the original high-rise buildings have collapsed, what is left is just such a dilapidated scene.
Kakashi sighed slightly, 'Even Rōran, which was once prosperous, has become like this now.' Sighing for only a moment, Kakashi continued to search for the place where the Ryūmyaku vein was.
At this moment, dozens of kunai flew over towards him.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes, and the new Millennium Sword instantly appeared in his hands.
Ding Ding Ding!
The sound of the steel clashing rang suddenly, and all of the kunai was falling to the ground.
"Who is it?"
No one answered Kakashi's words, and then, a giant puppet spider appeared.
"A puppet?"
Kakashi was slightly surprised, 'How could there be a puppet here? Are the people from Sunagakure also here?'
Looking around, he saw a silhouette. At this time, the puppet moved again, spitting out a black blade from his mouth, and Kakashi knew that it was covered with poison.
"There is no other way. It seems that I must solve this problem first."
The puppet approached quickly, and the poisonous blade in his mouth flashed with a faint cold light.
Kakashi avoided the poisonous blade that almost stabbed him, and slashed the puppet with his sword!
Ding!
The blade slashed on the puppet spider's back. In an instant, the puppet spider was cut into two halves and could no longer move.
Kakashi was slightly surprised and looked at the Millennium Sword in his hand.
'I didn't expect that after being recast, the Millennium Sword would become so sharp that the puppet was cut into half even without using any Chakra.'
It should be known that the materials used to create these puppets are very strong, and ordinary swords won't be able to cut them off.
The puppet master who was hiding on the side was also surprised when he saw this, and secretly thought: "Who is that guy? He actually cut my puppet with one blow. Is it because of his sword? It must be a good thing."
Greed appeared in the puppet master's heart.
At this time, Kakashi's figure suddenly appeared behind the puppet master and he said softly: "Hey, why did you attack me for no reason?"
The puppet master was shocked and quickly moves away. He then threw out two scrolls, and summoned two puppets.
Kakashi stood still and looked at person in front of him. Thin body, Chakra thread on his ten fingers, was manipulating the two puppets, and there is a Sunagakure's forehead protection on his head.
"Are you Sunagakure's Shinobi?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes, who are you?" said the puppet master.
"You don't need to know about that. What you do say that we do our own things and don't interfere with each other."
Kakashi didn't have the thought of being entangled with the other party. Sunagakure is Konoha's ally and this place was part of Sunagakure's territory. Although it is strange for Sunagakure's Shinobi to be here, it is not incomprehensible.
After using a disguise, the other party can't recognize him. Under such circumstances, killing becomes unnecessary.
Moreover, being able to have three puppets at the same time must mean that this person is a Sunagakure's Jōnin. If such a person suddenly disappears, Sunagakure would start a search, and the situation would become even worse.
It's just that Kakashi suddenly felt that this guy was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember him.
However, Kakashi didn't intend to being entangled with the other party, but the other party did not want to let Kakashi go.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" The puppet master shouted coldly.
"I am just a traveler who is just passing by," Kakashi explained.
"Huh, traveler? A traveler would have such skill? Answer me truthfully or I will take you down and take you back for interrogation!"
As the puppet master said that, the puppets in his hand began to move.
One of them opened its mouth directly and shot countless poisonous needles from its mouth.
The other one flew over, waving a sword in his hand.
Kakashi is speechless. 'What does this person do, Did Sunagakure's Shinobi always this unreasonable?'
Since the other party attack first, Kakashi would naturally not sit still.
Kakashi's speed instantly increased to the extreme and the Millennium Sword in his hand start to move.
As the Millennium Sword danced, all the poisonous needles are directly blocked off.
Crash!
With a stab, and the puppet that were about to attack Kakashi was directly smashed to pieces.
The puppet master is shocked!
'This person is actually a speed-type Shinobi!'
The most troublesome thing for a puppet master is fighting against a speed-type Shinobi. Due to the concentration to manipulate a puppet, a puppet master's speed is not fast. When encountering a speed-type Shinobi, they will be in disadvantage.
In the next second, a cold gleaming sword appeared near the neck of the puppet master.
"I said, I am just passing by, you should not be too excessive! Otherwise, even if you are a Sunagakure's Shinobi, I will kill you!"
Kakashi's tone is cold, and the puppet master instantly broke down in a cold sweat.
"I... I understand. I'm sorry."
Kakashi remove the sword and left without looking back.
Seeing Kakashi's departure, the puppet master murmured: "This guy must have a reason for coming here. Is he also aiming for the Ryūmyaku vein?"
Kakashi walked for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Found it!"
Kakashi saw a ruined entrance similar to a cave in front, and huge Chakra waves faintly spreading from it.
Kakashi did not hesitate and went straight in.
Before long, the puppet master also appeared on the entrance.
"Sure enough, that person's goal is the Ryūmyaku vein. Damn it! The Ryūmyaku vein is mine, how can it be taken away by others!"
The puppet master said and quickly run inside.
At this time, in front of Kakashi was a huge circular hole, and there was a long stone bridge leading to the circular altar in the middle of the hole.
Kakashi jumped and landed near the altar.
Kakashi then saw something that looks like eye in the middle of the altar, and there was a three-pronged kunai stabbed on it.
Kakashi gently stroked the knuai and murmured: "Sensei, I'm sorry, I have to remove your seal for the time being."
Kakashi said, making hand seals with both of his hands, and then placed his hands on kunai.
Purple light instantly appeared with a magical glow.
Kakashi looked solemn and his eyes were full of dignity.
At this time, a kunai flew towards him.
Kakashi was taken aback, and moved his head to avoid it, and then followed the kunai's source, only to see a figure standing at the entrance, it was the puppet master from before.
"That Ryūmyaku vein is mine! You are not allowed to touch it!" The puppet master yelled.
Kakashi was furious. He didn't expect this guy to follow after him. His mind was on the seal just now, and he didn't even sense his arrival.
'That puppet master wants to use the Ryūmyaku vein himself?'
'He is Sunagakure's Mukade!'
Kakashi suddenly realized. No wonder he thought this guy was familiar before.
The purple light shines, and the time travel has officially begun, but Kakashi's heart felt a little heavy.
Kakashi was interrupted by this guy just now, so there was an error in the time when he originally planned to travel. 'I am afraid that the time won't match what I expected. However, it is too late to change it now.'
A purple beam of light enveloped Kakashi, and then his whole body disappeared.
Only the three-pronged kunai left behind in his place.
"No!" Mukade yelled, but it was too late.
The Ryūmyaku vein's power disappears in an instant, and it takes at least three years for Ryūmyaku vein to accumulate this much power again.
"Damn it, where did that guy go? He actually consumes so much energy!"
Mukade looked at the altar with gloomy eyes, but he can't do anything about it.
"Damn it, I can only wait for another three years."
Kakashi only felt the world around him spinning for a while before he fainted.
