Sara also sighed after hearing An Lushan's extremely "humble" words.
My mother died of illness too early. She was not even 14 years old when she first came to power. Fortunately, An Lushan, a minister who was busy with everything, was there. Otherwise, how could Loulan be so prosperous now?
Sara placed photos of herself and her mother on the table, and after saying hello to An Lushan, Sara went to change clothes.
Coming out of the high tower where the queen lived, An Lushan still had a lingering excitement on his face, and even his whole body was trembling.
"Today... today has finally arrived. Now the dragon veins can be completely controlled by me. As long as Sarah, the guy who can seal the dragon veins, dies, the whole Loulan will be my paradise! Jie Jie Jie..."
Just when An Lushan was thinking about the beautiful days in the future, a small puppet flew over from nearby, came to An Lushan's ear and said something, which made his whole face look like this. A change.
"Loulan has been invaded by outsiders. It's really a stumbling block for me at a critical moment. I hope those two outsiders can be sensible and obey, otherwise, I don't recommend using these two people as a good start..." An Lushan's eyes flashed. A cold light.
He has been working hard for 6 years and finally has the country completely in his hands. He will not allow any mistakes to be made at this time.
An Lushan waved and asked a few humans to entertain them, and then he prepared for the "welcome parade" for Sara tonight.
On the west side of Loulan... Zhixue and Xie were wandering in this area that seemed to be no man's land. They walked around and looked around. They didn't find the area they had walked through before. It was like two places. Xie said this Very puzzled.
"Is this a time and space ninjutsu?" Xie recalled the way he tossed and turned in the unknown passage and said with some doubts.
Judging from the surrounding environment, it looked a bit like the Kingdom of Wind or the Kingdom of Earth, but he didn't remember such a place. As for the country of Loulan, it had long since perished and it was impossible to preserve it so completely.
Just as Xie and Zhixue were wandering in the nearby area, two people wearing luxurious dresses walked out from a high tower in the distance. When they saw Zhixue and Zhixue, they ran away with enthusiasm. Go up.
"Oh, he is actually a rare foreigner."
"Yes, why did you two come to Loulan? We are the urban management here. We hope we can help you with something." The two middle-aged men ran to Xie and Zhixue and said enthusiastically.
After all, Master An Lushan's order to them was to watch these two carefully and not let anything go wrong at this critical moment. They should do their best, otherwise they might have to go underground for free like other Loulan people the next day. Hard work.
"This is Loulan?" Xie's tone was full of doubts and confusion. According to historical records, Loulan was affected by the war during the Third Ninja War. It had already been turned into ruins and was mostly destroyed by the yellow sand in the desert. How could it be possible that it was buried like this now with tall towers standing and steam spewing out?
The two middle-aged men were stunned when they heard Xie Xie's question, and then they came to their senses.
Could it be that these two people got lost in the desert and accidentally ran in? If this was really the case, it would be much easier to handle, just fool around and fool around.
"This is indeed the legendary country of Loulan that lives in the desert. It seems that you two are lost in the desert? Why don't you go to my house first and have a few drinks to relieve the heat?"
After hearing what the two said, Xie took out a thermometer from his pocket. The temperature of 38 degrees displayed on it surprised Xie even more.
Something is quite wrong. Although this is a desert, it is also winter. According to this time period, it should be almost below 0 degrees. Sure enough, he didn't notice it the first time after transforming himself into a puppet?
Looking at the two people with playful smiles, Zhixue also had some thoughts.
It seems that they have been discovered by An Lushan, but don't worry. Judging from the current situation, they should not act so quickly. It is really not in line with her to take the whole Susan and Kyuubi and flatten the place directly. style.
After all, the people of Loulan didn't mess with her. In addition, Susanoo was restrained in deploying such a densely populated tower.
"Since the Loulan people are so enthusiastic, it's hard for us to refuse, right?" Zhixue tugged on Xie's sleeves, winked at him and said in a cute way.
scorpion:……
In the evening, the sky was getting dark, and there were still not many people seen in the city of Loulan. Instead, there were many shadows of puppets flying in the air.
Zhixue and Xie stood on the top of a high tower, looking at a group of humanoid puppets connected with chakra lines below and the queen who came out of a large machine in the distance and waved to the puppets. They were also a little embarrassed.
Your own people have been deceived into doing hard labor underground, and you don't even know it. You, the queen, are doing it wrong.
Seeing the queen being pushed down, falling, and then being rescued by a black shadow, Zhixue also sighed.
Is Naruto so big in the blink of an eye? I don’t know what Sasuke and Shisui will be like in the future. Without the crisis of the night of genocide, they should be living quite well, right?
Xie glanced at the two people behind him who were controlled by illusions, walked to Zhixue's side and looked at another puppet queen emerging from the top of the mechanical parade, and let out a light chuckle.
"The leader here also seems to be a puppet master."
"What, do you want to have fun with him?" Seeing Xie's eagerness to try, Zhixue also asked with great interest.
Red Sand Scorpion VS Dragon Vein Centipede, the battle between the two peak puppet masters seems to be very interesting. When the time comes to clean up the battlefield, grab a few puppets for reference and upgrade the puppet equipment of the academy.
Chapter 176, Young Minato
"I'll go check out the terrain nearby and remember to set off a flare if there's any situation."
"Do not worry."
Scorpion put on a cloak and then used the teleportation technique to disappear.
I don't know if the information I got from those two people using illusion skills is true. Xie plans to go around and grab a few puppets to use as a parts library.
"Hey, it's such a nice weather, why not go have some fun."
Looking at the words "still debugging" on the system, Zhixue also took out a white fox mask and put it on his face, then jumped off the tall building and disappeared into the dark night.
……
30 minutes ago…
Queen Sarah, who was walking out of the high platform, looked at the many people below who were welcoming her and waved happily to greet everyone. But just when she was feeling very relieved and happy, she suddenly stretched out a hand from behind. Pushed her down.
"Ha...ahhh!" Feeling the force of the push from behind, Sara fell from the high platform. At this time, her mind was blank and she was picked up from mid-air by an orange figure before she could react.
Swish!
Landing gently on the ground, Naruto showed a gentle smile to Sara.
"It's okay now..."
"Ahhh! Rude wretch! Let me go!"
Bang bang bang!
30 seconds later, Naruto touched his red cheeks and abdomen that was still in pain, and looked at the position of Queen Sarah with resentment.
"Hey, what's the matter with you, a woman? I can be considered your savior, Dabayou..."
"I'm sorry, I was a little irrational at the time. I apologize to you. Is your face okay?" Sara said with some embarrassment, looking at Naruto with a red mark on his cheek.
Naruto rubbed his cheeks before saying to Sara who was sitting beside him: "You should be the queen here. What kind of place is this?"
"This is Loulan, and I am the queen here, Sarah."
"Ah, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I am a ninja from Konoha Village. The ruins I went to before were also called Loulan, haha."
"Loulan, ruins? What are you talking about? Loulan is a very prosperous country, how could there be ruins?" Sarah stood up from the ground and said in confusion.
"Huh?" Naruto scratched his head in annoyance after hearing Sara's explanation. Are there really two Loulans?
"Although you said some very strange words, I still want to thank you for saving me from the sky. As the queen of Loulan, I will definitely do my best to repay you."
Seeing Sara who was about to leave, Naruto also ran over quickly.
"Hey, wait, you can't go out yet."
Looking at Naruto who stopped her, Sara also asked: "Do you have any more questions? Don't worry, as the Queen of Loulan, I will definitely not let you down."
Looking at Sarah who seemed to have misunderstood the meaning, Naruto quickly shook his head and said: "Hey, you woman, you need to think about it carefully. You have been pushed down from a high altitude by others. If you go back by the right way, Aren’t you just throwing yourself into a trap?”
"It seems that your head is quite smart sometimes, kid." After Naruto stopped Sara, three ninjas wearing masks and brown ninja uniforms appeared here.
Seeing the sudden appearance of three strangers dressed suspiciously, Sara ran over and protected Naruto behind her.
"Wait a minute, are you people from out of town? What do you want to do here?"
Looking at Sarah who was very hostile, the yellow-haired ninja who was the leader of the three looked at the puppets flying around in the sky and sighed and said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk later."
The yellow-haired ninja nodded to the other two people, and then used the teleportation technique to come behind Sarah and catch her.
"Hey, wait a minute, you are also ninjas from Konoha, right? What are you trying to do!?" Seeing the ninjas attacking Sara, Naruto also felt a little excited and rushed forward, but in less than two rounds, he was already gone. He was captured by the yellow-haired ninja.
"Sorry, this is just a means of rapid transmission. I will let you go soon." The yellow-haired ninja nodded to the other two people, and then they gathered together and disappeared into a burst of yellow light.
Not long after several people disappeared, several puppet weapons flew over from the surrounding roads. Looking at the chakra traces remaining in place, they also told An Lushan the information through the nearby chakra lines.
Sitting on the throne above the palace, An Lushan's face turned cold when he heard the news that Sara had been rescued by an unknown person.
"She actually escaped death. Damn it, could it be those two outsiders who did it?" An Lushan immediately thought of Xie and Zhixue who had come to Loulan before, and then his expression turned ferocious.
"No one can stop me from controlling the entire Loulan!" An Lushan stretched out his hand, and blue chakra appeared on his fingers. In this prosperous city shrouded in darkness, hundreds of chakras appeared on his fingers. The puppet waiting in the underground factory also opened a pair of purple eyes with the dragon vein chakra transmitted from the puppet line.
……
Boom boom boom boom…
Looking out of the window at the mechanical puppets shuttled through various buildings, Sara couldn't believe it.
"How could there be so many puppets in Loulan? What is going on?"
Looking at Sara, who was frowning, the yellow-haired ninja also took off the mask on his face and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this place is no longer under your control. It is safer here."
And Naruto was also stunned when he saw the young and handsome face under the yellow-haired ninja mask.
"Why does this person look so familiar? I feel like I've seen him there before..."
"Brother, who are you?" He looked at Namikaze Minato's face and scratched his head and said.
"We are also ninjas from Konoha Village, but we are Anbu who walk underground and perform tasks. We are here to hunt down the rebellious ninja who escaped here six years ago."
"Anbu?" Naruto was speechless. He lived in that village, so of course he knew a little bit about it, and ninjas like Mr. Kakashi and Sister Zhiyue who were at the top of the ninja world seemed to have been there.
"I don't care which ninja village you are from, I will never believe your words. I want to see this beautiful country with my own eyes. I believe that the people who live happily here will not deceive me!" Sa La Mood seemed to be very excited and rushed out.
"Hey, can you, woman, calm down?" Looking at Sarah leaving, Naruto followed him inexplicably, while Namikaze Minato looked at the two leaving and sighed.
"Captain, it seems the situation is very complicated."
"Ah, aren't all ANBU missions like this? Although it is troublesome, as long as you do it seriously, you will always find clues and complete it. After all, it is all for the village."
"Well, that's true..."
Namikaze Minato looked at Naruto leaving, smiled slightly, and then used the teleportation technique with the other two to disappear.
Chapter 177: The Queen Discovers the Truth
"I won't believe your nonsense. Even at night, there were many people welcoming me..." Sara walked out of the long ladder of the tower angrily, and then looked at the crowd of people who had welcomed her.
"Eh? I've fallen down, why are they still waving?" Sarah looked at the people who were still cheering from a distance, and a question mark appeared above her head, but after she got closer, she realized that something was wrong. The place.
"This is…"
Sarah ran over and then squeezed into the crowd. Feeling the stiff and cold bodies of the "people", she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Uncle, uncle, where are you doing now..." Sara tugged on the sleeve of an old man, but in the darkness, the "uncle" in Sara's mouth lowered his puppet cheek with a dark purple shimmer and looked over. But it made Sarah's pupils shrink sharply.
