It carefully nourishes those cells that have been damaged and depleted by the overuse of the kaleidoscope.
It was easing the excruciating pain, trying to stop the vision from deteriorating further.
Although she cannot immediately repair the fundamental damage caused by the kaleidoscope.
But at least it can alleviate his pain and buy time and a foundation for subsequent treatment. Given time, this level of myopia can be cured.
She lowered her head, gazing intently at Sasuke's sleeping face, his brows still slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with complex emotions—
There is heartache, admiration, worry, and a silent, unwavering protection.
On the other side, a golden streak of light sped across the horizon and landed steadily on the ruins of Loulan City.
The light faded, revealing Naruto's figure.
He deactivated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and returned to his normal appearance.
His face showed a hint of fatigue, but more than that, a sense of relief.
He looked around and saw that the mechanical puppets that had once filled the streets and were now all scattered with charred scrap metal and parts.
It was clearly cleared away instantly by extremely efficient and powerful methods.
The air still retained the subtle fluctuations unique to space-time ninjutsu.
That's a remnant of the Flying Thunder God.
Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but raise his hand to scratch the back of his head, a genuine smile of admiration appearing on his face.
He muttered to himself, "Wow, that's amazing... No wonder he's my dad."
"of course!"
Just then, a very familiar, gentle male voice suddenly rang in his mind!
Naruto froze instantly, his eyes widening in shock!
Then came a series of sounds he thought he would never hear again.
Like a joyful symphony, it once again resounded loudly in his consciousness—
Kushina's urgent and motherly words came out in rapid succession: 'Naruto! I can finally see you! Thank goodness, son! I was so worried about you! Are you alright? Are you hurt? Let me see you!'
Ban's voice remained indifferent, but a subtle hint of concern and approval could be detected if one listened closely: 'Hmph, not bad, you didn't embarrass me.'
Kurama's signature arrogant and smug voice immediately rang out, as if to steal all the credit: 'I told you! With almost all of my chakra supporting me, even a pig could beat that iron lump to a pulp! What's more…'
Kushina's anger flared instantly, as if invisible Vajra chains had appeared in her consciousness: 'Ku-La-Ma! Whose son are you calling a pig?! Explain yourself!'
Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly let out a strange cry: 'Hey! Wait! Violent woman! I was just using an analogy! A metaphor! Do you understand a metaphor?! Ouch! Don't actually lock me up! It hurts!'
Madara, seemingly gloating, added, 'Serves you right. Serves you right for being so talkative.'
Listening to this long-lost, noisy yet incredibly warm "family routine" in the space of consciousness.
Hearing his father's gentle voice, his mother's caring words, his father's awkward praise, and Nine-Tailed Fox's unyielding yet undeniably supportive words...
Naruto stood there, slightly stunned at first.
Then, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, and he let out a low, pleasant chuckle.
As he laughed, his eyes involuntarily reddened, and warm tears blurred his vision.
He didn't wipe them away, but let the scalding tears slide down his cheeks and drip onto the ruins at his feet.
This is really...wonderful...
Everyone is still here.
The immense happiness of regaining what was lost was intertwined with the sense of relief after a victory.
It transformed into the warmest current, enveloping his weary yet joyful heart.
In the distance, the first rays of dawn finally pierced the long night.
The rain gently fell upon this land, scarred yet reborn, and illuminated the boy's tear-stained but radiant smile.
Chapter 336 The New Queen! Sarah!
The golden dawn gently bathed the ruins of Loulan, attempting to dispel the terror and gloom left over from the previous night.
Naruto composed himself and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He took a deep breath of the air, which smelled burnt but was surprisingly fresh, and prepared to set off to find Sarah.
That girl has endured too much; he must go and make sure she is safe.
Just as we passed through several streets reduced to ruins, a calm, even voice came from the sky:
"Naruto, you're here."
Naruto looked up and saw Sai standing on his ink bird, swooping down.
Sai still wore that standard, emotionless smile, holding a small notebook and pen in his hand, seemingly writing something down again.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm so glad you're alright! Did you see Sakura and Sasuke?"
Sai nodded and closed his notebook: "Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha are in the ruins near the central square."
"Uchiha Sasuke seems to be overexerted, and Sakura Haruno is treating him. They are both alright."
"Great!"
Upon hearing that all his teammates were safe, Naruto finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.
An indescribable feeling of gratitude and relief welled up in my heart again, my nose tingled, and my eyes became a little hot.
He quickly rubbed his eyes hard. "Let's go! Take me to them!"
Led by Sai, Naruto quickly arrived near the central plaza.
From afar, he spotted that familiar pink hair.
Sakura was kneeling on the ground, her expression focused and gentle.
Her hands, radiating a soft green medical chakra, gently covered Sasuke's eyes as he slept soundly, his head resting on her legs.
Sasuke's face was still pale, but his breathing was steady, as if he had fallen into a deep restorative sleep.
Seeing this, Naruto slowed his pace and walked over gently.
Sakura noticed the commotion, looked up, and saw Naruto. A tired but relieved smile appeared on her face.
He gently shook his head at him, indicating that Sasuke was alright and not to disturb him.
Seeing that his two best friends were safe and sound in front of him.
A tremendous, overwhelming sense of happiness mixed with lingering fear surged through Naruto's heart.
He covered his mouth, trying hard not to make a sound, but tears still welled up in his eyes, and he almost cried again.
He quickly tilted his head back and blinked frantically, forcing back the tears.
After a long while, he calmed himself down and silently mouthed to Sai, who was standing next to him, "Where's Sara?"
Sai pointed to the notebook in his hand, which read: "She was traveling with Lord Minato and hasn't returned yet."
Just then, two tall figures appeared not far from them as if they had teleported—
It is Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shimi.
They gestured to Naruto and Sakura, signaling them to follow.
Naruto and Sakura exchanged a glance.
Sakura carefully tried to help Sasuke up, trying not to disturb him.
Naruto immediately stepped forward to help, and the two of them together lifted the still-sleeping Sasuke up, with Naruto carrying him on his back.
Sai followed quietly to the side.
Led by Ding Zuo and Zhi Wei, they traversed the complex ruins and a hidden, downward passage, arriving at the deepest part of the city of Loulan—
The core of the dragon vein.
This is an enormous underground cave, at its very center.
It is a complex natural energy spring that emits a faint yet profound light; that is the source of the dragon vein.
The ground surrounding the spring is inscribed with countless ancient and powerful sealing incantations, which are now emitting a soft light.
Beside the dragon vein spring, a petite figure slumped down next to a newly drawn sealing incantation radiating a deep blue light, her shoulders twitching violently.
The suppressed, heartbreaking sobs that escaped her lips—it was Sarah.
Minato stood before the sealing technique, his hands forming a hand seal, his face solemn and showing a hint of reluctance.
Upon seeing Naruto and the others arrive, he nodded slightly, but his hand continued performing the jutsu.
"Sarah..."
Naruto called softly, handed Sasuke on his back to Sakura and Sai, and quickly walked over.
Upon hearing Naruto's voice, Sara looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, her face filled with immense sorrow and bewilderment.
Minato sighed, and began to explain gently, both to Naruto and to offer a final explanation for this tragedy:
"The reason why all the puppets in the city suddenly stopped moving and the energy supply of the dragon vein was interrupted was because Princess Sara shut down the core of the dragon vein."
He glanced at the crying girl beside him, his eyes filled with admiration: "When I led her through the remaining obstacles, trying to break into this place, something unexpected happened."
"Perhaps it was due to the fluctuations in the dragon vein's energy, or perhaps it was a mother's last strength... Her Majesty the Queen, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, regained a brief period of self-awareness."
Shuimen's tone turned heavy: "She saw the tragic state of Loulan and felt endless grief and self-blame."
"But in the final moments, she still endured immense pain and encouraged Princess Sarah to be strong, because Loulan's future needed her."
“From that moment on, she was no longer a princess, but the real Loulan Queen who had to take on responsibilities.”
"Then, Her Majesty the Queen guided us here."
"It was Her Majesty Sarah who personally shut down the output of the Dragon Vein Core, cutting off the energy source of that mechanical monster above."
Minato looked at Naruto, which explained the key to his eventual victory.
"Afterwards, although Orochimaru was dead and the forced control of the Impure World Reincarnation had been lifted, Her Majesty's consciousness did not dissipate."
