Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"Yes! Of course I want it! I've been queuing for two days already. I never imagined Loulan would be so hard to get into. I should have bought a house there at a low price back then. I'm so angry!"

His words resonated with others as well.

Everyone knows that Loulan was originally just a small city, with a very small inner city, and it has been expanded ever since, so there is no such thing as an outer city.

This small city, in just a few years, has suddenly become the most powerful nation in the ninja world.

In the past, no one was optimistic about Loulan. The houses were all self-built, and no one wanted to buy them. Moreover, the prices were very low.

But now, everyone hopes to buy a house in Loulan in order to qualify as a Loulan citizen and obtain an ID card for lifelong residence in the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

However, the current housing prices for the ancient Loulan Kingdom are...

Do you know how much it costs?

One square meter, worth two hundred thousand taels of Loulan ancient coins.

These are prices in the outer city area, not in the inner city.

This completely stunned many people who could afford to buy a house.

Even so, housing prices in Loulan are still rising.

In addition, the credibility of Loulan's currency is also rising. Now, one tael of Loulan currency is equal to 1.5 of the currencies of the four major countries, and the economy is completely in an unequal situation.

Given this situation, none of the four major powers dared to easily start a war; they could only wait for an opportune moment...

For example, if Shirahoshi, the Queen, and all the codenamed members die of old age, then they will have their day.

What they didn't know was that Bai Xing had already mastered the technology of immortality and would never die.

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

The Loulan staff member grabbed the documents from Sasuke's hand and examined him closely for a few moments: "From Konoha?"

"Correct."

"Here. Send a wisp of your chakra onto this." The staff member brought over a crystal ball and handed it to Sasuke.

"What is this for?" Sasuke dared not easily trust a stranger.

"Record it, record it! If you ninjas don't record information, who will we turn to if you commit crimes in the city? Hurry up, there are still many people who need to enter the city. Oh, right." A Loulan staff member suddenly stood up and said to the back of the line, "There are only three thousand entry slots left at this entrance today. The rest will have to wait until tomorrow. Okay, everyone disperse!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness I'm number 2999."

"Damn it, why am I number 3001? I don't believe it. Luckily I brought water and bread, so I just squatted down here."

The procession was noisy and chaotic. Sasuke and the people behind him completed the city registration, only to hear a loudspeaker coming from behind, which gave him a very absurd feeling.

"If you need help queuing, you can contact us. We are all residents of Loulan. For queuing assistance, please contact our queuing service company."

That's right, they each spent 10,000 Loulan coins to buy scalped tickets to avoid the queuing process that could take three days and still not guarantee entry.

Chapter 224 You are the 1782nd person to impersonate a minister's girlfriend

"White Star, White Star, White Star."

"Stop nagging, Mom."

"Mom, my ass! My name is Uchiha Mikoto!"

Sasuke: "..."

Is there any difference?

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto, who was excitedly trying to rush towards the inner city entrance as soon as she entered the city, Uncle Sasuke was really at a loss.

Faced with a mother who is younger than him, what can he do? Spoil her, of course.

"Little brother, is the future Loulan really not like what Boruto said?"

The short Uchiha Itachi asked the question.

Originally, Fugaku Uchiha intended to give Itachi Uchiha a chance to witness the battlefield ahead of his peers by several times. However, a better opportunity came up: to go to Roran to broaden his horizons. He decisively abandoned the previous plan and changed it to this one.

As long as you're not a high-ranking member of Konoha, entering Loulan shouldn't be a problem.

“Yes.” Sasuke sighed, “In the past, because Naruto and Yamato Jonin went on a mission together, Loulan was eventually reduced to ruins.”

"What about the people of Loulan before?" Itachi Uchiha asked again.

"I heard that the country couldn't support it, so in the end they could only form a caravan that roamed the ninja world," Sasuke said, recalling his memories.

Itachi Uchiha stroked his chin: "It seems that without this ninja named Shirahoshi, the city of Roran might not exist."

Sasuke nodded: "That's right. Without him, there would be no city. Speaking of which, the Land of Wind was actually destroyed. It's said that almost none of the high-ranking officials of Loulan showed up. What a terrifying country."

"Holy crap! How can you charge so much? Is your milk tea inlaid with gold? One hundred Loulan coins a cup? Two hundred for a large cup? My god!"

Hearing Boruto's voice, Sasuke turned around and saw Boruto standing in front of a bubble tea shop, shouting and yelling.

His expression darkened slightly. The situation in their ninja world wasn't over yet; they were still in a state of crisis. And Boruto actually wanted to drink milk tea, and a large one at that!

"Boruto, what are you doing? We're here on a mission, not for sightseeing."

"No, Master, I was just testing Loulan's strengths and weaknesses," Boruto said with a serious expression.

Sasuke looked at Boruto calmly.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and finally Sasuke had no choice but to take out four hundred, no, six hundred Loulan coins and buy three large cups of milk tea.

“Thank you for your patronage!”

"What about...ours?"

Uchiha Fuya and Uchiha Yan pointed to their faces.

Sasuke calmly said, "You can buy it yourselves. Father gave me 100,000 Loulan coins as mission funds, and I can't spend them recklessly."

Of course, Fugaku thought that 100,000 was too much, since Mikoto had already passed away, and Shirahoshi couldn't possibly expect Mikoto to pay for it.

The two idiots could only take out their own wallets to buy two drinks.

Except for Sasuke, the group was all drinking milk tea and strolling through the unique city of Loulan.

There are sidewalks on both sides, and a road and non-electric vehicle lane in the middle. There are horse-drawn carriages, cars, and bicycles.

Every passerby was holding a mobile phone, seemingly talking to someone far away on the other side.

"Yes, yes, you've finished your work for today. Dad will bring you some cake when he gets back, okay? Haha, Xin'er is so thoughtful."

"You can't make mistakes at work. If you can't do it well, don't bother coming in tomorrow!"

"Honestly, when are you going to pay me back the money you owe me? It's been a week already. If you keep this up, I'm going to get the Knights to blacklist you."

"Hey buddy, wanna join some training classes? We have some in Xicheng that specialize in developing kids' interests and hobbies!"

"No need." Sasuke refused the salesman's offer and led his group away from this troublesome place in a hurry.

While waiting at a traffic light, they felt they heard some terms they had never heard before.

Damn it! Where did they get them?! Is this still the ninja era?!

......

Witnessing many new things along the way, they finally arrived at the entrance to the inner city.

Above the high steps is an exquisite and magnificent city gate, which far surpasses the facilities of the outer city.

People living in the outer city would feel that their lives were not good enough as soon as they saw the city walls and gates, and they would work hard to hope that one day they could live in the inner city.

"Halt! This is a forbidden area within the inner city; only special individuals are permitted to enter."

Previously, the inner city was not strictly regulated; this only applied to areas near the inner city towers.

However, since Loulan's outer city was completely transformed into one of the world's top cities, the inner city has become an area that ordinary people cannot enter.

"We are ninjas from Konoha..."

"I'm looking for Shirahoshi."

Unlike Sasuke, Mikoto doesn't care about any of that.

The city gate knight glanced at Mikoto, took a step back, and silently pressed the Loulan Knight emblem on his shoulder armor—it was a switch.

This switch is the key to enabling all the functions of the equipment you are equipped with.

It's something like a safety lock, used to prevent these devices from malfunctioning during use.

Then, amidst the puzzled expressions of the crowd, he raised his arm and pressed the button on the wrist of his silver-white armor.

A moment later, a sound came from the grid.

"This is the National Security Knights, this is the National Security Knights. May I ask what happened in West City?"

The gatekeeper responded: "This is the West City, this is the West City. Someone just came to the gate and addressed our minister by name in front of us. Should we arrest him?"

Please respond upon receipt.

Mikoto Uchiha, who was referred to as 'someone': ......

Others: "..."

No, we're not causing trouble! And are you not even going to put on an act anymore? You're just going to arrest us right away?

"Wait a minute!" Mikoto interrupted, "I know Shirahoshi."

The city gate knight remained calm.

"The National Security Knights have received the information and are investigating it. Please wait patiently."

"Xicheng received, Xicheng received."

The city gate knight put down his intercom and then began to respond to Misaka with a blank expression: "Over the years, countless people like you have appeared. Do they all think we're fools? You think you can get in just because you know the minister's name? On what basis? If you had a pass issued by the minister, that would be more like it."

"But I really know Shirahoshi! I'm Shirahoshi's girlfriend!" Uchiha Mikoto shamelessly said, her face immediately turning red.

“Oh.” The city gate knight said calmly again, “You are the 1,782nd person to impersonate the minister’s girlfriend.”

"???"

"You're lying, how could there be so many?"

The city gate knight said calmly, "The ancient Loulan Kingdom currently has a permanent population of no less than eight million. Do you think that a little over a thousand people wanting to become Bai Xing's girlfriend is a small number?"

"Brother Knight."
