Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Now that everything was decided, Kuroto told that they can't delay any longer.

Otherwise, if Sand ninja intercepted the Convoy of Roran Survivors, and Queen Sara was threatened by them just like he threatened her, then it would be impossible for her to not reveal all the details. ​​

Although she doesn't know his true identity, she has still witnessed the whole process of the birth of the artificial tailed beast, so Kuroto doesn't want to risk it for now.

After collecting his thoughts, Kuroto immediately said to Queen Sara, "Time is of the essence now, go to your camp and set off towards the Land of Rain, Sand Village will definitely send ninjas here after checking the ruins, I will eliminate them."

According to common sense, Sand Village should definitely send an elite team to investigate the situation at the Roran City first as soon as they notice the abnormality of the Dragon Vein.

This process could take as short as half a day to as long as 2 days, depending upon their reaction speed and how much importance they put on the Dragon Vein.

Once they discover that the Dragon Vein was stolen, the information will be sent back to the village, and the village will appoint ninjas to search for the Roran Survivors. These tasks could take up to 1 to 2 more days.

Therefore, the Roran survivors have up to 3 days for a safe breakthrough.

As long as this opportunity is grasped, The Roran survivors will most likely escape Sand's chase and smoothly enter into the territory of the Land of Rain.

Queen Sara also realized the preciousness of time, so she hurriedly nodded and asked, "You will be escorting us out of the Land of Wind, right?"

After thinking a little, Kuroto said lightly, "I can't guarantee that I will be there all the way!"

If anything, Kuroto wants to personally escort them out of the Land of Rain in secret, but if the Yondaime Kazekage personally leads a team to chase after the Roran survivors, then Kuroto can only opt to protect himself.

Queen Sara nodded silently. Although a little disappointed she was still relieved that the masked person at least doesn't have any intentions to deceive her.

Queen Sara no longer hesitated and after giving a final look to the masked person, she ran towards the Oasis in the distance.

While running she stopped midway and shouted after turning around, "I am no longer Queen of Roran, you must call me Sara from this moment on!"

And without waiting for his reply, she rushed towards the caravans.

Kuroto silently stood at his pace, watching her go away.

Neither did he agree nor disagreed.

Not long after, the Caravans of the Roran survivors that were camping at the Manto Oasis set off.

Kuroto didn't immediately follow them but turned his gaze towards the sand dunes.

Sand Village has arranged 2 ninjas to always monitor and keep track of the Roran Survivors. Kuroto discovered this when he was searching for the whereabouts of the Roran Survivors along with the Grass Shinobi team.

So, to ensure that the Sand Village doesn't immediately discover the whereabouts of Roran Survivors, he must first eliminate these two Sand ninjas responsible for monitoring work.

… Byakugan…

Activating the Byakugan, Kuroto glanced at the distant sand dune and confirmed the presence of two very weak Chakra reactions from one spot.

Judging from their Chakra levels, the two ninjas are Genin Class, since the enemy strength isn't very high, Kuroto didn't bother to personally go after them, rather he summoned the Kazekage puppet and used it to kill them.

It didn't take long for the Kazekage puppet to easily get rid of the two Sand ninjas in the distance.

After dealing with this issue, Kuroto resealed the Kazekage puppet and chased after the Caravans from a distance.

While there wasn't much to do, Kuroto's mind wandered to the possible cause of the origin of the Dragon Vein.

Although he doesn't know the possible cause of the origin of the Dragon, this doesn't stop him from theorizing his guesses.

As far as he thinks, the Dragon Vein is not a natural occurrence, or to be more precise, the Dragon Vein isn't completely a natural product.

The best possible explanation states that the core of the Dragon Vein, or better yet its 'Origin' should be a foreign existence just like Otsutsuki Kaguya, i.e., it came from outside the Shinobi world.

However, unlike the Otsutsuki Kaguya who came to plunder the energy of the planet, the arrival of the origin of Dragon Vein might actually be accidental, and at the same time the existence 'who or which,' arrived in the Shinobi World accidentally; might actually be injured at the time, because of this it had no choice than to form a contractual relationship with the Royal family of the Ancient Kingdom Roran.

This might explain the contractual relationship between the two.

After the contract, the existence sneaked into the depths of Earth to recover itself by steadily absorbing energy from the Ley Lines.

However, that didn't go as smoothly as one might expect, and for a certain reason that is difficult to explain, the injured existence was possibly attacked by something that resulted in its disintegration, but just before fading away, it managed to leave behind a sentience metaphysical trace, and that Very trace grew over the course of the next millennia by steadily absorbing the natural energy, giving birth to the ignorant Dragon Vein.

The Dragon Vein might have actually forgotten everything related to its past but because of the Contractual relationship with the Royal family of Roran, it was instinctively loyal to them.

This also explains why the Queen of Roran can maintain an unequal contractual relationship with the Dragon Vein.

Otherwise, it should be practically impossible for the Royal Family of Roran to control the majestic Chakra of the Dragon Vein that is no inferior to a high-tier Tailed beast.

And as just mentioned before, a normal human without any strength; like Sara isn't qualified to have such an unequal relationship without the necessary strength.

As for the origin of the original core Kuroto does have some guesses but let's take that for some other time.

While Kuroto focused on the protection of Roran Survivors, Yondaime Kazekage of the Sand Village received the news that the Dragon Vein of the ancient city of Roran was stolen.

Staring at the information in his hands, Yondaime Kazekage Rasa asked the two advisor elders around him with a thoughtful look, "Could it be Konoha's handiwork?"

Chiyo, one of the elders of the Sand Village snorted coldly, "Who else can steal the Dragon Vein so quickly besides Konoha? The Dragon Vein was personally sealed by Konoha's Yellow Flash and it's not so easy to break that seal."

Listening to Chiyo's analysis, Kazekage crushed the intelligence report in his hands with a cold look…
