Chapter 339
Deidara smiled at Scorpion and said, "Danna, you are not jealous, are you? You are outshined by this little character who came out of nowhere!"
"Hmph! What do you think? Even if you don't understand the art of puppets, you should have the most basic analytical ability. This kind of scene is just to scare the weak!" Scorpion snorted coldly, and Deidara maintained his smile and said, "I feel that Danna talked a little too much today..."
Looking at the terrifying look in Scorpion's eyes, Deidara wisely stopped the topic, looked at the sky and said, "I don't understand the art of puppets, but this city is very beautiful. If I add my art, it will definitely be sublimated to the ultimate level!"
Chiyo and Kankuro, who are also puppeteers, naturally saw the disadvantages of large-scale puppet control such as Centipede.
Of course, it doesn't mean that this method has no advantages. Although the puppets' offensiveness is greatly reduced due to the decrease in flexibility, as long as the number reaches a certain level, the protective effect of the legion puppets can be reflected. Even if there are still defects, they can serve as a supplement to the village's defense force, and can also greatly reduce the risk of puppeteers being exposed.
Chiyo, who is rushing to the Sand Village, has such an idea. I remember that Baizu seemed to have submitted such a suggestion, but it was directly rejected by their top management on the grounds of insufficient resources.
Don't blame their top management for being short-sighted. The overall environment of Sand Village itself cannot support Baizu's plan, but they can try it next, provided that Baizu can exert his governance ability and make efforts for the comprehensive construction of Sand Village.
Even if it is impossible to fully replicate the prosperity of Loulan because of the lack of dragon veins, a discount can also make the overall strength of Sand Village rise to a higher level.
At this time, in the meeting room of the Hokage building, Luo Sha, who was preparing to hold a meeting to discuss matters related to the dragon vein, had similar ideas to Chiyo. Anyway, there was no room for retreat in the Sand Village now. Let the centipede toss around a little bit, maybe a miracle would happen.
As an old fox, Ohnoki also saw the changes that the centipede might bring to the Sand Village, and subconsciously dug a trap: "As expected of someone who dreams of conquering the world, a rebel ninja has such ability..."
Luo Sha heard his subtext and lightly suppressed the topic: "Lord Tsuchikage, you are joking. This kind of small character is not even qualified to enter your eyes. I believe that the elders in the village should have captured him and detained him now."
"Humph! It's better to do this. Don't let him run away, otherwise we in Kumogakure will not hold back!" The Raikage didn't want to play tricks with them, and directly expressed his attitude.
[“By the way, I have a question that I can’t figure out. If this country is completely under the control of Centipede, why is he controlling a bunch of puppets to hold a celebration here?”]
[“Centipede must know that Sarah is still alive. He may want to continue to play his role and deceive Sarah by maintaining the celebration. If it weren’t for Naruto’s sharp eyes, Sarah would not have noticed that these people were fake!”]
[At this time, a loud horn sounded in the central square, followed by gorgeous music. On the high tower surrounded by puppets, a puppet with the appearance of Sarah walked onto the balcony and waved his hand solemnly towards the people below. ]
[The crowd of puppets also cooperated to make a welcoming gesture. This simple puppet show actually presented an extremely terrifying effect. 】
【At least Sarah couldn't help but feel scared, and Naruto said angrily: "The Centipede guy is going to turn you into a puppet too."】
【Sara looked at him, Masako and Sarai at a loss, showing an expression of disbelief: "It's a lie... This is not true! An Lushan would never do such a thing!"】
【Sara shouted and rushed directly into the group of puppets to escape reality. Naruto saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly chased after him, but was slowed down by the large number of puppets and accidentally let Sarah run away. 】
["Pfft! Sorry, I misunderstood! Centipede doesn't care about Sarah's life or death at all!"]
["You're sick! Who is Centipede putting on this puppet show for?"]
["Most of the people in this city should have been captured by Centipede to produce puppets. Naruto's previous battle with the puppets also exposed their existence to Centipede, so logically speaking, this puppet show is for Naruto and the others?"]
["What's the purpose? There must be a purpose for doing this! Does he do this for any other purpose besides exposing his own background!"]
["Well, maybe he wants to show his control over this city? Want to scare Naruto and the others away?"]
["Psychopaths are happy, want to conquer ninjas...Do you have to have a problematic brain in the world!"]
["Just bear with it, you'll get used to it one day... So far, we've seen quite a few villains with problematic words and deeds!"]
["Hiss! It's all obvious, but Sarah still doesn't want to accept it!"]
["It's normal. Not to mention an ordinary girl, even an adult man may not be able to recover immediately when his spiritual support is broken!"]
["If you can't accept it, then don't run to the enemy. Naruto is doing voluntary labor. Don't increase his workload!"]
["With Naruto's impulsive personality, he can actually tolerate such unreasonable behavior. If it were me, I would have turned around and left!"]
["Sara won't be captured by the centipede like this!"]
[Naruto looked around and, guided by a song, found Sarah hugging her knees and singing softly in a circular staircase.]
["This song, you were also singing when I first met you. "Naruto said condescendingly while standing on the stairs. Sarah looked at him and smiled bitterly: "It's the song that my mother has been singing to me there..."]
[Sara told Naruto how Loulan became the city of a thousand towers, including the role played by the centipede in it.]
["But my mother died before her long-cherished wish was fulfilled. After my mother left, only An Lushan stayed with me all the time, no one else... no one else..." Sarah said sadly with her eyes downcast.]
["Fortunately, I still know to find a place where no one is hiding!"]
["Strange, what is the centipede doing! If you want Sarah's life, you can do it when she rushes into the group of puppets!"]
["He can't see it, right? But that's not right. He knew when Naruto was fighting with the puppets before!"]
