Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 344: The Ancient Kingdom of Roran
After dispatching the shadow clone to set off with the carriage, Kanpū did not delay much, and immediately went to another way and accelerated forward. As for the destination, it was still in the Land of Wind.
Five days later, when Dove’s carriages were still winding along the road of the Land of Fire, Kanpū was already like an arrow from the string, traversing the mountains and crossing the river, and arrived at the Land of Rivers.
There is no Shinobi Village in the Land of Rivers. The terrain is flat, with many dense forests, mountains and rivers, and the scenery is not inferior to Land of Fire. It is a good place for tourism.
However, Kanpū has something important to do, so he ignored the beautiful scenery around him and just kept moving forward.
After spending another two days crossing the long and narrow Land of Rivers, a golden sand sea suddenly appeared in Kanpū’s field of view.
Standing on the edge of the desert and dense forest, there’s an endless desert in front of Kanpū. Under the scorching sun, a hazy aura can be seen floating on the sea of sand.
Kanpū rested in the dense forest for half a day, then stored enough water and food in the sealing scroll. He also disguised himself by taking off the Konoha’s forehead protector and changed into a set of ordinary clothes, then turned he opened the Land of Wind’s map. After confirming his location, he plunged into the desert.
When he followed Minato to the Sunagakure’s main camp for negotiations, Kanpū learned a lot of Land of Wind’s local conditions and customs from Rasa’s brother in law, Yashamaru, including the ancient kingdom of Roran. According to Yashamaru, the ancient kingdom of Roran is located in the depths of the Land of Wind’s desert, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Except for merchants, only few people go there.
Following the Land of Wind’s map, Kanpū slowly penetrates into the desert’s depth along the small villages and towns in the desert.
Five days later, Kanpū successfully arrived at the capital of Land of Wind.
Now that Sunagakure and Iwagakure are still fighting each other in the Land of Rain, Sunagakure’s Shinobi in the Land of Wind are either gathered in the Land of Rain or Sunagakure. Therefore, there are very few Sunagakure’s Shinobi in the capital of Land of Wind, which saves Kanpū a lot of trouble.
After replenishing his supplies, Kanpū rested here for one night. In the early morning of the next day, after having a special Land of Wind’s breakfast, Kanpū took out the map to study his next destination.
According to his speed, it would take about seven days to travel from the Land of Wind’s capital to the ancient kingdom of Roran, but the ancient kingdom of Roran is located deep in the desert, and there are no villages and towns nearby, so it is easy to get lost, and once he really gets lost, it will take longer to reach there.
‘It would be nice if there is a caravan to the ancient kingdom of Roran.’
Kanpū pondered for a while, and immediately went to inquire about the information.
Half a day later, with great coincidence, Kanpū actually found a caravan that was going to the ancient kingdom of Roran!
And this caravan… has already set off three days ago.
Kanpū had a constipated expression on his face, but fortunately, the caravan is not traveling fast in the desert, so even if the caravan has already traveled for three days first, he can still catch up with them!
Two days later, Kanpū successfully traced the footprints left by… camels? The desert is windy, and when a gust of wind blows, the footprints will disappear. What Kanpū found is a series of footprints, which also exudes a smoky smell, so they shouldn’t have left for long.
Kanpū breathed a sigh of relief, took out a water bottle from the sealing scroll, took a sip of water, and then continued on his way.
In less than than half a day, Kanpū heard the crisp sound of bells coming from the front.
The camels in the desert will all be tied with bells by their owners to prevent them from getting lost, so Kanpū feels at ease when he heard the bells.
He quickened his pace to catch up with the caravan, and after confirming that this caravan was the one he had inquired about at the Land of Wind’s capital, he followed from behind the sound of the bell not far away. Although the trip was slowed down because of the speed of the caravan, at least he would not get lost in this way.
Five days later, Kanpū followed the caravan to the depths of the desert. There were few people here, not to mention the villages nearby, not even a single dead bird was seen.
Moreover, the wind and sand here are also much larger. If you open your mouth a little bit wider, your mouth will be filled with sand poured by the wind.
Kanpū covered his mouth and nose with a cloth, lowered his body and continued to move forward.
In this way, nearly seven days passed, and a towering city suddenly appeared in the depths of the wind and sand.
Kanpū was overjoyed when he saw this, ‘I’ve finally arrived at the ancient kingdom of Roran!’
Kanpū immediately bypassed the caravan and rushed towards the tall building.
After a long time, the ancient kingdom of Roran was completely presented in front of him.
Row upon row of buildings stand like tall towers. The colorful glass reflects the magnificent luster, which made it looks very modern. As soon as Kanpū approached, he can hear the voices of people and various firecrackers from the ancient kingdom of Roran, which seems that they are celebrating something.
Kanpū lurked in quietly, and after quickly passing through several empty streets, he came to the city’s main street.
The main street was already crowded with people, and countless people cheered and jumped towards the tower in the middle. Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and colorful balloons, the festive atmosphere was extremely strong.
Kanpū followed the sights of the people, and saw a group of people standing on the high tower in the middle. The leader was a red-haired woman, who looked very pretty, and she should be the Queen of the ancient kingdom of Roran, Sara.
Without Mukade coming from the future, the power of this kingdom and this city is still in the hands of Sara.
Sara stood on the tower, motioned for the people to be quiet, and then started speaking through a loudspeaker.
After listening to a few words without thinking, Kanpū no longer paid attention to it, and then he passed through the crowd and lurked into the nearby tall buildings.
Kanpū turned around a few times and found that the interior of the building here is full of corridors connected with other corridors. After a few turns, Kanpū felt dizzy.
‘I won’t be able to find anything with this method.’
Kanpū wanted to find someone to ask for directions first.
Having lurked all the way, Kanpū saw a group of patrolmen passing through the corridor not far away. Kanpū immediately followed after them, knocked out the last soldier of the patrol at a very fast speed, and then quietly carried him back.
When the patrol team left, Kanpū immediately formed hand seals and used Transformation Technique, turning into a woman with red hair and red clothes. It was none other than Queen Sara who he had seen before.
After the patrolman regained his consciousness, he saw Queen Sara as soon as he looked up. He was startled at that moment, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: “Your Majesty, you, why are you here… no, no, me, what happened to me just now?”
Kanpū recalled Sara’s voice he had heard before, and then imitated it: “During the celebration, I noticed an abnormal movement in the Ryumyaku, and the rest of the people have already gone. I believed that you should have fainted because of Ryumyaku.”
“Ryumyaku’s abnormal movement?” The patrolman turned pale with fright, “Your Majesty, what should we do?”
“Don’t worry, go to Ryumyaku and gather with the others. I will rush over there later.” ‘Sara’ said softly.
“I understand, Your Majesty!” The patrolman nodded in response, and immediately ran quickly after getting up.
Waiting for his silhouette to disappear gradually, Kanpū immediately released the Transformation Technique, and then lit up the Transparent Release and followed him quietly.
The patrolman didn’t run very far, and took the elevator down to the ground in the high tower next to it.
‘It’s really high-tech.’
Kanpū murmured in his heart, then looked around to observe the movement around him, and when the elevator came back up, he also took the elevator down.
Going down to the bottom floor, just as the elevator door opened, Kanpū saw the patrolman staring and looking inside the elevator.
“Huh? No one?”
Kanpū uses the Transparent Release, so the patrolman can’t see anything.
“Weird, there is no one there, so why does the elevator go up and down?”
The patrolman murmured to himself, then his eyes lit up, and he said, “That’s right, it must be because of Ryumyaku’s abnormal movement. Your Majesty is right, there’s indeed an abnormal movement from the Ryumyaku’s!”
The patrolman cheered up, and immediately turned and ran deep underground.
The invisible Kanpū smiled slightly when he saw this, ‘What a really smart young man, I am optimistic about you~’
