Chapter 88: Puppet War, Dragon Vein Seal
Chapter 88: Puppet War, Dragon Vein Seal (th update)
Led by Sarah, a group of people walked towards the palace.
Yuhi Kurenai glanced at Hanekawa and sorted out her thoughts as she walked.
Although she had no concept of time travel in her mind, Tsunade and the others showed many doubts.
Tsunade didn't know that Namikaze Minato had become younger, and that little boy looked too much like the young Hanekawa.
Is there a problem with timing?
Xihihong thought for a moment and decided that after defeating An Lushan, she would go look for Hanekawa who came with her.
He must know the reason.
If you can’t find it, maybe… it’s the most unlikely answer.
When we arrived at the palace, we heard heavy footsteps all around us.
Minato Namikaze and others immediately prepared for battle.
After a moment, the puppets appeared one after another.
"Get out!"
Sarah said with a straight face, "I am the Queen of Loulan!"
However, the puppets continued to move forward.
"An Lushan!"
Sarah blanched and shouted, "I know you're here!"
"It seems you have become a little wiser."
The puppets made way for An Lushan to step forward.
"What do you mean?"
Sarah still had a glimmer of hope in her heart and asked.
"You don't think I'm truly loyal to you and your daughter, do you?"
An Lushan stretched out his hands, purple chakra emerged, and he said loudly, "I just want power!"
Sarah took a step back in fear.
In her impression, An Lushan was an upright person, kind to others, and possessed knowledge that was beyond his time.
How could he become a completely different person?
"Before you die, I'll tell you one more secret."
An Lushan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled grimly, "Your mother didn't die of illness, but was killed by me because she prevented me from using the dragon vein."
"what?!"
Sarah showed disbelief on her face when she heard this.
"How naive."
An Lushan enjoyed her expression and his smile became even wider.
"Are you a centipede?"
After observing for a long time, Yuhi Kurenai finally asked.
"Long time no see, Konoha's ninja."
An Lushan looked around and said, "Why? Don't you see your other teammate? I was thinking about repaying him."
"Do you want to be beaten and run away again?"
Xihihong snorted coldly and asked.
"You thought it was three days ago? I arrived six years earlier than you!"
An Lushan laughed loudly, his eyes full of obsession, and said, "I have mastered the power of the dragon veins now. Not to mention defeating you, even unifying the ninja world is a matter of a snap of the fingers!"
Because he was overconfident, he no longer hid it and just showed his cards.
"Six years?"
Yuhi Kurenai's body stiffened and she subconsciously looked at Hanekawa.
The centipede's early crossing proved that there was something wrong with the timing.
Then Tsunade and the others are most likely people from the past.
Tsk!
This bastard is deceiving himself.
"Hong, I'll explain it to you later."
Hanekawa scratched his head and said.
"Call my sister."
Xihi Kurenai raised her eyebrows and said.
She has not given up on being the boss. Since it cannot be realized in the future, she will realize it in the past.
But what is the current situation of future Hanekawa?
She couldn't help feeling worried.
"Enough of the small talk."
An Lushan waved his hand and said, "Kill you and I will rule the ninja world."
Tsunade took a step forward and threw a punch.
The six puppets in front of her were shattered at the same time.
"That's it?"
Tsunade looked at An Lushan and said bluntly, "You are not even one thousandth of my grandfather's ability. You want to rule the ninja world? What nonsense?"
While she was speaking, Namikaze Minato and Yuhi Kurenai took action at the same time.
The sound of breaking wind sounded.
Minato Namikaze threw out a handful of kunai, which were scattered around the puppet.
His body suddenly became like a gust of wind, moving through the air.
Every time he appears, he will use the Rasengan to take away a puppet.
Sunset Red is not that fancy.
She formed seals with both hands and used the Second Hokage's Senju Tobirama's signature water-style ninjutsu.
Water Escape · Water Breaks Waves!
In the original work, during the Fourth Ninja World War, Senju Tobirama used this ninjutsu to cut off the roots of the sacred tree.
Yuhi Kurenai opened her mouth and spit out a long thin line of water.
Under her control, the water line was like the sharpest blade, cutting through the puppet's body.
In just a moment, one-third of the puppets were cut in half.
"As expected of a ninja from Konoha Village."
An Lushan praised and applauded.
The puppets he brought were all destroyed in less than half a minute.
But faced with such terrifying combat power, he was not panicked at all and even laughed.
Everyone realized the problem.
An Lushan was so calm, he must have a backup plan.
That is undoubtedly the dragon vein.
"Let me show you what the ultimate puppet is!"
An Lushan spread his arms.
The clothes on his body suddenly bulged outwards, and soon reached their limit, where they were pierced by the sharp metal legs.
In the blink of an eye, An Lushan no longer had a human form, but turned into a puppet spider.
The strange purple chakra enveloped him, forming a suffocating aura.
"Tailed beast?"
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but look grim.
He actually felt that An Lushan was no worse than a Jinchūriki now.
"Hanekawa, take Sarah away."
Tsunade said in a serious tone.
An Lushan's aura became too strong, and she was not sure she could protect Hanekawa and Sarah.
"Yes."
Hanekawa took Sarah and retreated.
The reason he did not hesitate was that he knew how to defeat An Lushan.
The key is Sarah.
Only she can find the center of the dragon vein.
"careful!"
Minato Namikaze threw out a handful of kunai casually.
An Lushan ignored them and accelerated, rushing in front of them.
The kunai fell on him and were immediately bounced away.
Strange power!
Tsunade's eyes focused, she clenched her fist, and hit An Lushan.
Boom!
A deep hole appeared on An Lushan's huge body.
He was forced to slide backwards by the huge force.
Tsunade was stunned.
Why does this feel like it only looks good but is not practical?
At this moment, An Lushan's body, which had been destroyed by the strange power, was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.
"I am immortal!"
Upon seeing this, An Lushan roared, and the purple chakra on his body became as dense as the sun.
He flashed and stepped forward again, stabbing everyone with his sharp spider legs.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Xi Ri Hong pressed the ground and a wall of water rose up.
But the next second, the water wall was pierced.
Minato Namikaze directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The three men disappeared at the same time and then appeared behind An Lushan.
"Together."
Tsunade warned, lifting her foot.
My feet hurt!
The chakra gathers in the feet, instantly bursting out with powerful destructive power.
The back of An Lushan that she hit was torn into pieces.
Minato Namikaze leaped up and stretched out his hand in the air.
Rasengan!
The chakra spun and compressed, and in the blink of an eye it condensed into a light blue ball in his hand.
He aimed at the crack created by Tsunade and smashed it down.
The high-speed rotating Rasengan exerted terrifying power, and with the help of the Paintenkyuu, it actually pierced through An Lushan.
Xihi Kurenai made seals with both hands.
Water Escape · Water Breaks Waves!
A line of water followed the penetrating wounds inflicted by Tsunade and Minato Namikaze, cutting him open like a large sword.
"Did it succeed?" Minato Namikaze asked subconsciously.
"No."
Tsunade's expression looked a little ugly.
Xi Ri Hong also had a solemn expression.
With the combined attack of the three of them just now, there are only a handful of ninjas who could withstand it.
"It's just a fatal injury!"
An Lushan stood up again.
The two halves of the body recovered instantly under the cover of purple chakra.
Not only that, the aura on his body became even stronger.
"You don't understand the power of dragon veins at all!"
The purple chakra on An Lushan's body lit up again, and then turned into a cannonball and smashed towards them.
The three people quickly moved out of the way.
Boom!
The ground cracked, dust flew, and a huge pit was revealed.
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but take a breath.
Although it is not as powerful as the Tailed Beast Ball, its power is far beyond normal ninjutsu.
If they were hit, they would surely die.
However, An Lushan had a terrifying ability to recover. The more they fought him, the stronger he became.
"The dragon vein must be sealed."
Namikaze Minato said in a deep voice.
At the same time, a voice sounded.
"Minato-senpai!"
Hanekawa yelled, "Fifteen minutes later, use the Flying Thunder God Technique to find me."
"How can it be that easy?"
An Lushan never forgot Sarah.
After all, she is the only one who knows the location of the dragon vein center.
"I see!"
While responding, Minato Namikaze flashed in front of An Lushan and blocked him.
Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi followed suit.
"Resurrection, my puppet!"
An Lushan couldn't get away for a moment, he roared, and purple chakra flew out.
The puppets on the ground were immediately restored to their original state after being enveloped by the purple chakra, and they all rushed towards Hanekawa and Sarah.
"Sarah, run!"
Hanekawa turned around and swung the samurai sword in his hand with a dazzling blade.
The puppet closest to him suddenly had a deep knife scar on its abdomen.
But it is not a human being, and it has to move forward even if it is injured.
Strange power!
Hanekawa stood firm and punched out.
The puppet's body paused, and with its fist as the center, it turned into a pile of rotten iron.
He glanced at the palace, but could no longer see Tsunade and the others.
Lightning Chakra activated!
Flashes of lightning suddenly appeared on Hanekawa's body.
Attack, defense and speed are directly increased by 50%.
He turned his wrist, and the samurai sword was covered with lightning, slashing out like lightning.
Boom!
The puppet no longer had deep knife marks like before, but was cut directly in half.
Before Hanekawa could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a nearby puppet raise its arm.
Purple chakra blasts flew towards him.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Hanekawa possesses the C-rank entry 'Water Style Chunin', and now that no one is watching, he no longer holds back.
A wall of water rose from the ground, blocking his way.
Without looking at the result, he ran in Sarah's direction.
Hanekawa had asked before, and it takes about ten minutes to get from the palace to the dragon vein center.
To be on the safe side, he told Minato Namikaze it would take fifteen minutes.
Although there were five more minutes, it was still too short and he had to hurry.
There was a roar from behind.
Hanekawa turned around and saw two special puppets.
Wings actually stretched out from behind them.
Hanekawa casually took out four kunai from the bag on his waist.
He threw it hard and hit the puppet, but it was immediately bounced away.
"burst!"
Hanekawa shouted softly.
The detonating tags tied to the four kunai exploded.
The heat is rolling.
The enormous force caused the surrounding buildings to collapse one after another, crushing the puppets into the ground.
But after a few seconds, the dust flew up and the remaining puppets rose up again to catch up.
Hanekawa has already seen Sarah in front of him.
He put away his katana and formed seals with his hands.
Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
This is a water-style ninjutsu that he learned secretly, and it only has six seals.
No, how can this be called stealing knowledge?
It was clearly the water-style ninjutsu scroll that was given to him by Kurenai Yuhi.
A water dragon flew out and submerged the puppet.
But then purple chakra lit up, and countless sharp arrows pierced through the water dragon and rushed towards him.
Instantaneous technique!
Hanekawa's body turned into a shadow.
All the purple chakra, like sharp arrows, fell on the wall behind him, shattering the building.
The puppets rushed towards him again.
Suddenly, Hanekawa had an idea and thought of a solution.
He stood up and took out his samurai sword.
Brilliant lightning covered the blade.
He leaped forward and chopped at the puppets in mid-air.
Thunder and lightning!
The extremely fierce lightning fell on the puppets.
Hanekawa put down his sword and formed seals with his hands.
Water escape·Water chaos!
He leaned back and spit out a large amount of water.
When the water flow hit the lightning, it immediately produced a violent reaction.
The puppets that were still struggling suddenly froze in place.
Although they are not human, they have various parts inside.
At this point, the parts are damaged and naturally there are problems with the operation.
The power of science, boy!
"come on in!"
Sarah's voice rang out.
Instantaneous technique!
Hanekawa's body accelerated and in the blink of an eye he was in front of her.
"The center of the dragon vein is ahead."
Sara breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When a puppet enters here, its chakra will be affected by the dragon veins and it will be unable to move."
Hanekawa nodded slightly.
They walked down and soon left the passage.
Hanekawa couldn't help but reveal an expression of amazement.
This is a hall located underground.
The huge amount of chakra transformed into the shape of a dragon, circling around.
In the original work, what Uzumaki Naruto and his friends saw was the sealed dragon vein, so it seemed unremarkable.
Now that there is no seal, the original dragon vein is very spectacular.
"It's so big, can you seal it?"
Sarah looked worried.
“It’s not that big actually.”
Hanekawa shook his head and said.
This dragon is, at best, about the same size as a tailed beast, and is not even as big as the Nine-Tails and the Divine Tree.
Sarah could not help but gasp.
Is it so scary outside Loulan?
"Wait for Minato-senpai."
Hanekawa sat directly on the ground and took a breath.
Using so many ninjutsu in a short period of time was a huge burden for him.
A few minutes later, the space fluctuated.
Namikaze Minato's body appears.
He looked at the dragon vein in front of him, and his heart settled down.
"Good job!"
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but praise.
"How's the situation over there?"
Hanekawa looked at him and asked.
"Not good. An Lushan is getting stronger and stronger. The pressure on us is also increasing."
Namikaze Minato paused, a smile on his face, "But now it's time to end it."
Four thousand words.
