In the past, An Lushan was still curious about how Loulan relied on to remain inviolable in the Kingdom of Wind, one of the five major kingdoms.
Now he knows.
The energy of dragon veins controlled by Loulan's lineage is the foundation for their survival.
The famous names in the Kingdom of Wind don't want to take action against Loulan, simply because they don't dare.
Under the pressure of the puppets all over the sky, the four of Namikaze Minato immediately moved closer together, looking at the woman who was walking slowly with solemn expressions.
Of course, because they were wearing masks, Saya could not see clearly the changes in their expressions.
"Who are you?" Namikaze Minato asked. This woman's appearance did not appear in Konoha's intelligence. In addition to the possibility that it was hidden deeply, there is another possibility...
"I am the queen of Loulan, Saya!" Saya stopped.
really……
Namikaze Minato's expression changed, and he slowly put down the weapon in his hand, "Your Majesty, we have no ill intentions."
"We come with good intentions."
"Good intentions? Destroying Loulan's puppets was a good intention?" Saya didn't believe his lies, she only believed what she saw.
"Since you entered Loulan, you have been attacking the puppets non-stop. We at Loulan cannot afford this kind of kindness." An Lushan mocked.
"We were just self-defense." Akimichi Choji retorted, "It was your puppets who attacked us first."
"What a joke, if you come in from the main road, the puppet will attack you?" An Lushan sneered. As the designer of the puppet, he would not accept such groundless slander.
"There are so many caravans traveling to and from Loulan, why haven't they seen them being attacked by puppets?"
The three of them, Akimichi Choji, looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
What can they say?
Whoever commits sabotage goes to the front door...
However, the development of things was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Judging from the available information, Loulan does not seem to be Sunagakure's arsenal. Loulan still belongs to Loulan's people and her queen.
"We are here for him." Namikaze Minato suddenly pointed to An Lushan aside, "He is the rebel ninja of Sunagakure, and we are the ANBU responsible for hunting him down."
The air suddenly became quiet.
"Pfft..." An Lushan was stunned for a moment, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
He has become a traitor to Sunagakure before he was even born in this world. What an honor!
"Ninja, leave Loulan immediately!" Saya's tone was more serious than ever.
An Lushan even handed over the secret technique of puppetry to Loulan. How could Loulan not know his origin?
This is not the way to sow discord.
So what if An Lushan is really a traitor to Sunagakure? Just based on his contribution to Loulan this year, she is guaranteed to be safe!
"My Queen, do you really want to do this? He is a traitor!" Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice.
"An Lushan!"
The moment Saya's words fell, the puppets in the sky, under the control of An Lushan, shot countless thousands of copies at the four people in the encirclement.
Namikaze Minato just wanted to use the teleportation technique to close the distance between the two, hold Loulan's queen hostage, and force her to stop attacking.
But suddenly, a life-threatening threat came to my mind.
It seemed that if he didn't leave here, he would die on the spot.
Strong people who have reached a certain level of strength trust their own intuition very much, because it is an instinct that has been tempered by wandering on the edge of life and death countless times.
Namikaze Minato instantly appeared next to his teammates and took the three of them away with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Outside Loulan, behind a sand dune.
Four figures suddenly appeared.
"Minato-sensei, why did you just say...we are the ninjas of Sunagakure?" Kakashi asked.
"The queen of Loulan controls the dragon vein. Since she is fine, it means Loulan is not controlled by Sunagakure." Namikaze Minato recalled the secret information the Sandaime showed him and explained the reason to the three of them.
"But the man dressed as a minister next to her is the controller of the puppet. The puppet technique is a secret of Sunagakure and cannot be shared with Loulan. In other words, that man may be a traitorous ninja of Sunagakure."
"I pretended to be Sunagakure's ANBU because I wanted to bet on whether Queen Loulan would be forced by Sunagakure's pressure and hand over that ninja to us."
"The result is as you can see, it failed." Namikaze Minato sighed.
"It's not considered a failure. We also got some useful information." Aburame shook her head slightly, "Through what just happened, we were able to confirm a lot of things."
Akimichi Tingza stood quietly aside, listening to the analysis of the three people.
He is not a strategic ninja, and there is no room for him to speak in this situation.
"Loulan has not become Sunagakure's arsenal; that ninja is really Sunagakure's traitorous ninja, and Queen Loulan knows this." Kakashi added.
"That's right." Namikaze Minato heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
"What on earth could enable the Queen of Loulan to protect a rebellious ninja from Sunagakure..." Aburame Zhiwei said.
"There is too little information." Namikaze Minato also shook his head.
Judging from the information he knew, Loulan was not the kind of country that would intervene in the disputes between Ninja Villages, but the Queen of Loulan's attitude of protecting the ninja just now could not be faked.
"Then the mission of destroying Loulan should continue?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes." Namikaze Minato nodded, "If Sunagakure discovers and takes over Loulan, these puppets will continue to pour into the battlefield and harm Konoha's ninjas."
"However, some modifications need to be made to the mission content. It is not to destroy Loulan, but to destroy the puppet manufacturing base here."
"The people of Loulan are innocent."
…
underground space.
"Your Majesty the Queen..." An Lushan looked at the woman beside him carefully, fearing that his voice would be too loud and she would be unhappy and turn her head to kill him.
Due to Saya's authorization, he also has the right to use part of the dragon vein energy.
Therefore, he knew better than anyone else how much terrifying energy was condensed in this small underground space at that moment.
"They left." After confirming through the feedback of dragon vein energy that the intruders had indeed left Loulan, Saya opened her eyes.
"Your Excellency An Lushan, the dragon vein energy will be further opened to you. I hope you can send some puppets to guard the Loulan border."
"Yes, Your Lady Queen!"
An Lushan responded quickly.
It seems that those intruders have definitely pissed off Queen Loulan.
The right to use which he usually had to put in effort to obtain was now given to him at the drop of a hat.
This may be a blessing and a misfortune. Just now, I was worried about leaking the secrets of the puppet and being targeted by the Sunagakure assassination force of this era. Life or death was uncertain, but I didn't expect that a big cake would turn around.
But speaking of which, are those ninjas really from the Sunagakure Assassination Force? Their accents don’t sound like Sunagakure’s ninjas at all, but more like...
So that's it, Konoha's ninja...
An Lushan paused, turned around and looked at the place where the few people had just disappeared, with a slight curl in the corner of his mouth.
Konoha's is just fine...
The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind are currently at war. If nothing else, those ninjas just now definitely used unconventional means to enter the country.
In other words, they have no follow-up reinforcements.
This is good news for An Lushan, because the subsequent risk of burying these ninjas in Loulan is surprisingly small.
At the same time, outside Loulan, a golden figure disappeared in an instant.
The plot of Loulan seems to be dragging on a bit, I will try to end this phase of the plot tomorrow.
In addition, dear readers, please use your recommendation votes to kill me.
