Chapter 192: 192
Her implication was to persuade Baki to give up.
After all, from the very beginning, finding the Ryumyaku was the idea of Baki and others. As a woman who has lost her husband and a mother of three children, Karura's only wish is to give birth to her little son safely, and she doesn't want any extravagance.
What Karura didn't expect was that.
"Karura-sama, according to the latest information we have obtained from our investigation, the last queen of Ronan is called Sara. Not only did she not die in the war, but she is likely to have been hiding in the ruins. Our people have already searched the ruins. In sometime, I believe she will be found soon."
Baki said with bright eyes, showing a firm determination.
'Oh?'
When Kisame, who was hiding in the dark heard this, it made him raise his eyebrows.
Without making any noise, he quietly bypassed the Suna camp and sneaked into the Ronan ruins in secret.
Half an hour later, deep in the ruins.
Kisame appeared alone and as the leather shoes stepped on the ground, crisp footsteps echoed in the empty street.
Although the buildings on both sides of the street are dilapidated, it can still be vaguely seen that they used to be resplendent. The former Roran, at the peak of its development, was no less prosperous than the capital of the Land of Wind.
Kisame seemed to walk forward aimlessly, but in fact, he had already sensed an unfamiliar chakra wandering around here.
The owner of that chakra seems to have discovered Kisame's arrival, and has been monitoring him in the dark, playing a game of peekaboo with him.
'Click.'
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the corner of the street, and it sounded like someone stepped on the dead branches of trees that had fallen to the ground.
It was a girl with long dark red hair, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, young and beautiful.
'Oops.'
The girl glanced at the dead branches under her feet, then looked forward again, and found that Kisame was facing her, looking at her with a smile.
She didn't have time to think, she turned and ran, and soon disappeared into the depths of the ruins.
Ten minutes later.
"Hu~hu~"
The girl hid behind a statue in the park, panting with fear, looking back from time to time to make sure the enemy was not following. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
She is the last queen of Roran, the daughter of Seramu, the previous queen, who was killed by the minister because she saw through the conspiracy. After that, the army of the Land of Wind arrived, destroying Ronan completely. Only Sara survived under the desperate protection of her subordinates.
In the former prosperous Roran Kingdom, now she is the only one left.
Although she is a queen, she has no subjects. Despite this, in the past few years, Sara has still adhered to the duties of the Queen of Ronan through the ages
She lives alone in the ruins, guarding the Ryumyaku.
If nothing else, this lonely and long life will continue until Sara's death, until she also dies and leaves this world decades later.
But recently, a group of uninvited guests came from outside.
Sara speculated that those people came for the Ryumyaku, so she carefully hid in the dark, monitored them for more than two months, and used various means to interfere and prevent those people from approaching the Ryumyaku.
She grew up here, and is familiar with every corner of the street, so she was able to use the terrain, and narrowly escaped the search of the Suna ninja several times.
Just like this time.
Thinking of this, the corners of Sara's mouth curled up, revealing a smug smile.
After all, she was an adolescent girl, and it was too boring to stand alone in this ruin for several years. Well now, these guys who came to find the Ryumyaku have added a lot of fun to Sara's boring life.
However, it turned out that Sara was too happy.
"Hello."
Just when Sara thought she had gotten rid of her pursuers, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Sara was shocked and looked with a look of astonishment, only to realize that
Kisame quietly appeared in the park at an unknown time, sitting on a bench a few meters away from Sara and greeted her.
Without saying a word, Sara turned around and ran in the other direction, but just after she ran a few steps, she tripped over the chakra wire under her feet and fell on the grass.
Baki nodded solemnly, and instructed a few Suna ninjas to stay and take care of Karura and her two children here.
Under Karura's gaze, Sara was the first to get into the tunnel, followed by Baki and others, and the group quickly disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.
"Karura-sama, please rest for a while."
A Suna kunoichi, supported Karura, walked to the sofa that was wiped clean next to her, and let her sit down. The other two ninjas were playing with Temari and Kankuro.
Karura glanced at her two children, then leaned on the sofa with a smile, closed her eyes, planned to take a nap, and patiently waited for the good news from Baki and others.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
'Swish!'
A sword light roamed the room, attacking the Suna ninjas, and while screaming, they fell down one by one.
The reason why these people were defenseless was because the one who attacked them turned out to be the most trustworthy companions.
The murderer is a young ninja named Yura.
'Boom!'
As the two ninjas collapsed in shock, the hot blood spurting from their necks splattered on Temari and Kankuro, causing the two little kids to burst into tears.
"Yura, you..."
Karura opened her eyes wide, stood up from the sofa, and looked at the murderer who suddenly defected and murdered their companions in horror and anger.
Yura, like Baki, is a young Jnin from Sunagakure, and his strength is quite good.
However, Kagura and the others would never have imagined that this person had been controlled by the Sasori of Red Sand with "Red secret technique" and became the latter's subordinate and a spy.
In the anime, when the Deidara and Sasori invaded Sunagakure to capture the one tails, it was Yura who led the way for them and killed all the defending ninjas.
"Yura, why are you betraying the village, and who are you working for?"
Karura stood up from the sofa and shouted sharply, her indigo blue eyes were full of anger.
In the face of her questioning, Yura calmly wiped off the blood on the Shinobi sword, and responded with a sneer:
"It's okay to tell you, my boss is Sasori of the red sand. And he has secretly joined Amegakure not long ago and became a member of the Akatsuki organization. In other words, the person I really serve is the son of prophecy, The owner of the eye of reincarnation, Rinnegan, - Nagato-sama."
"Shameful traitor."
Karura clenched her fists, and yellow sand rose from under her feet and condensed in front of her.
"Karura-sama, don't try to struggle, how could you, a pregnant woman, be my opponent. Be careful of the child in your belly."
Yura pretended to care, and continued without fear, "By the way, I have already passed the information gathered here to Sasori-sama, and within half an hour, he will come here with the ninjas organized by Akatsuki. At that time, you, Baki and all the other Suna ninjas, will die."
Hearing this, Karura's expression changed drastically.
Because she knew that Yura's words were not that of an alarmist. Once the people of Akatsuki's organization come here, with the present combat power of Suna Shinobi, it is impossible to be the thei opponent.
At that time, the last living members of Sunagakure will be wiped out, and even the Ryumyaku will fall into the hands of the Akatsuki.
Thinking of this, Karura felt a deep despair.
She is most desperate for her three children. The oldest is only two years old, and the youngest has not yet been born. They didn't even have time to grow up, and when they haven't even looked at this beautiful world, they were about to die in this desert of ruins.
As if he could see Karura's thoughts, Yura's eyes flashed, and he made a condition to her:
"Karuru-sama, for the sake of your usual kindness to me, I can let you and your child leave, but in exchange, you have to give me something."
As he spoke, he moved towards the door.
"What?" Karura asked, frowning.
"The tea pot that sealed the one tails."
Yura stared at Karura with bright eyes, his greedy gaze wandered around her, "That thing must be on you, right?"
The one tail is the only tailed beast owned by Shayin Village. The first Jinchuriki was a monk.
But a year ago, the monk passed away due to his old age. The one tail, who was freed from the shackles of the Jinchuriki, ran rampant in the village many times, and finally the Kazekage Rasa attacked and sealed him in the tea kettle with a magnetic release.
After Sunagakure was destroyed, the tea kettle disappeared together with the village. According to Yura's conjecture, the person most likely to know where it is is undoubtedly Karura, the widow of Kazekage.
