Chapter 172 Rebellion Against the Heavenly Gang, the Most Tragic Villain (Third and Fourth Updates)

Hearing Minato Namikaze's words of comfort, Kakashi Hatake's eyes welled up with tears.

With a whoosh, his body vanished.

Everyone remained silent.

This was the first time Sasuke Uchiha had seen this side of Kakashi Hatake.

He used to have a listless, dead-fish-like look.

Minato Namikaze sighed softly.

In his memory, Kakashi Hatake was a spirited and talented young man.

He had no idea what would happen in the future that would completely change him.

But Minato Namikaze managed to restrain himself.

A few minutes later, Kakashi Hatake reappeared.

Except for a slight redness in her eyes, she has returned to normal.

"teacher."

Kakashi Hatake took a deep breath and asked, "Have Obito and Rin arrived?"

His voice trembled slightly with anticipation.

"no."

Minato Namikaze explained, "This mission is quite dangerous, and they are not strong enough, so they only brought you."

Kakashi Hatake nodded with mixed feelings.

He actually knew that Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara hadn't come.

Although he had forgotten his journey to Loulan in his youth, he remembered the result.

Indeed, only he came from their team.

pity.

Kakashi Hatake composed himself and said, "Let's go find Shiki and Karin."

"Karin is over there."

Aburame Shiki raised her hand and said, "Her features are quite obvious."

"She is a ninja from the Uzumaki clan."

Minato Namikaze said with a smile, "I was quite surprised when Sasuke told me."

Although the timeline has been moved forward by twenty years, the Uzumaki clan had already been wiped out.

He thought Kushina Uzumaki was the last member of his clan.

"Zhihui, haven't you found it?"

Kakashi Hatake frowned slightly.

"no."

Yu Nuzhi looked somewhat worried.

Although we've never met, he's still my future son.

There are puppet soldiers everywhere here, so the chances of something going wrong are very high.

"It's normal that we can't find Zhihui."

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha realized something and said, "With his strength, unless he deliberately exposes himself, who can find him?"

what?

That's amazing?

Sasuke Uchiha was clearly saying that his reconnaissance skills were insufficient to detect Shiki Aburame.

Aburame Shiki was stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief.

He's a Jonin!

Furthermore, while the Aburame clan is well-rounded, their potential is limited, making it difficult for them to become top-tier ninjas.

However, it was the Uchiha who said those words!

That makes it very credible.

Given Aburame Shiki's understanding of the Uchiha clan, she wouldn't have said such a thing unless she had beaten them to the point of complete submission.

"really."

Kakashi Hatake echoed this.

"Oh?"

Minato Namikaze became interested. "Is he even more talented than you?"

"Far superior to me."

Kakashi Hatake said with a serious expression.

"Really?"

Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback, quite surprised.

In his mind, Kakashi Hatake was already a rare genius in the ninja world.

"He defeated the jinchūriki of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast."

Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment and then said.

"A Jinchūriki?"

Minato Namikaze's face showed a look of realization. "He really is a genius."

He had fought against Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and deeply understood the power of Jinchuriki.

Without special techniques, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique, it is very difficult for ordinary ninjas to withstand the attack of a Jinchuriki.

"How could my Aburame clan produce such an outrageous person?"

Aburame Shiki scratched his head, looking amazed.

"You should be secretly happy!"

Choza Akimichi couldn't wait to ask, "And what about our Akimichi clan?"

"Same as before."

Kakashi Hatake answered.

Choza Akimichi's expectations were dashed.

The fact that it's the same as before means that there are no descendants who have surpassed their predecessors.

"By the way, teacher, where is the other me?"

Kakashi Hatake asked as he walked.

"I instructed him to secretly protect the Queen of Loulan; this is our mission for this trip."

Minato Namikaze explained, "But once we got here, we found that the situation was far more complicated than we had imagined."

Once on the main street, it was packed with people and extremely lively.

Kakashi Hatake looked up.

A celebration is being held in the city.

Many people were cheering around the girl on the platform.

"Her name is Sarah, and she is the daughter of the Queen of Loulan."

Minato Namikaze said casually.

"So it was her."

Uchiha Sasuke discovered that Sara was the one who had heard the singing when he woke up.

Just then, Sarah lost her balance and fell from the sky.

"Wait, it's Karin."

Kakashi Hatake noticed Karin running up to him quickly.

She successfully caught Sarah as she fell.

There's a problem.

Sasuke Uchiha instinctively gripped the Lightning Fire Sword. "Why are the onlookers still so happy?"

Kakashi Hatake glanced around and also noticed something strange.

Sarah is a princess. When a princess falls, a normal person's reaction would be either panic or to try to save her.

But they were very happy, as if they were still immersed in the celebration.

"Because they are not human."

Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice, "We discovered before that the entire Loulan, apart from the Queen and the Princess, is full of puppets."

"puppet?"

Kakashi Hatake was startled and asked, "What about the original person?"

"have no idea."

Minato Namikaze shook his head and said, "We're looking for it too."

With such a large area, the ancient city of Loulan must have had at least tens of thousands, or even more, people.

No matter what happens, we have to find them.

"Continuing the search is a waste of time."

Choji Akimichi scoffed and said, "If you ask me, we should just go and kidnap An Lushan and Shi Siming!"

"Kakashi-sensei!"

After Karin and Sara finished talking, they spotted Kakashi Hatake and the others and quickly called out to them.

"Let's not talk about that now."

Minato Namikaze looked at Sara and said, "This might be an opportunity."

"Eh?"

Karin pointed at Minato Namikaze and said, "You look a bit like one of the statues on the Hokage Rock."

"Maybe I have a generic face."

Minato Namikaze joked.

"Karin".

Kakashi Hatake interrupted in time, "You should introduce yourself to us."

"Oh, oh."

Karin pulled Sara in front of her and said, "This is Sara, the princess of Loulan."

Hello.

Sarah greeted her warmly.

However, she glanced at Uchiha Sasuke.

After all, only she and her mother could appear at that door.

"Has the princess noticed anything amiss?"

Minato Namikaze threw out a kunai, and the next second he appeared grabbing a passerby.

"What are you doing... a puppet?"

Sarah's expression changed from anxiety to astonishment.

The passerby fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"Everyone here is a puppet."

Minato Namikaze pointed to the crowds on both sides and said.

"impossible!"

Sarah simply didn't believe it.

"You can go see for yourself."

Minato Namikaze casually remarked, "A puppet's body is different from a human's; it's obvious at a glance."

Sarah gritted her teeth and quickly ran into the crowd.

She casually lifted someone's clothes, revealing not skin but metal.

After one lap, she was drenched in sweat and muttered to herself, "What happened?"

"I suspect it's a problem with An Lushan and Shi Siming."

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then asked, "Princess, can you take us to see them? Then everything will be revealed."

Sarah snapped out of her daze, glanced at everyone, hesitated for a few seconds, and then nodded.

seeing is believing.

She already knew that the crowd of onlookers were all puppets.

So where are the real city dwellers?

"Follow me!"

Thinking of this, Sarah couldn't help but feel anxious. "An Lushan must be a transit point for the dragon vein."

"Transit station?"

Kakashi Hatake's heart skipped a beat.

"It's a formation that transforms the dragon vein into energy for the puppets."

Sarah soon arrived at an underground passage.

The group followed the passage to the so-called Dragon Vein Transfer Station.

A huge cavity.

Equipment filled with gears and millstones is everywhere.

Purple chakra was extracted from the ground and transmitted to the surface through the device for use by the puppet soldiers.

"An Lushan is indeed a genius."

Choza Akimichi looked around and said.

"Severing this formation will cut off the dragon vein's supply."

Minato Namikaze spoke up.

Just then, countless puppet soldiers surrounded them.

"Sarah, this is Loulan's top secret. Even if you are a princess, you cannot bring outsiders in."

A middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes came out and questioned him.

"An Lushan!"

Sarah couldn't help but shout, "Where are all the townspeople?!"

"You should ask the Queen about that."

An Lushan snorted coldly and said, "It was she who moved them all."

"What did you say?"

Sarah's eyes widened.

Minato Namikaze and the others also showed expressions of surprise.

What's going on?

Their reasonable assumptions were completely different from the actual results.

"I won't believe you!"

Sarah naturally sided with her mother.

Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter.

An Lushan spread his arms wide and exclaimed excitedly, "The important thing is that I can finally break free from that bastard's control! Hahaha!"

His smile was filled with bitterness.

Minato Namikaze and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

control?

Wasn't An Lushan the mastermind behind it all?

"Who's controlling you?"

Minato Namikaze's gaze sharpened slightly as he asked, "Shi Siming?"

"Don't mention him to me!"

An Lushan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with malice, and roared, "Three years! Do you know how I've spent these three years? I did whatever he told me to do? Like a dog!"

"..."

Minato Namikaze was stunned.

An Lushan's performance didn't seem like acting at all; it was more like a genuine expression of emotion.

And he doesn't need to act.

"But that kind of life is over!"

An Lushan's body began to swell, and sharp metal legs pierced through his clothes and emerged.

Soon, his clothes were torn to shreds, revealing his true identity.

It's a puppet spider.

"I went through a lot of trouble to transform myself into a puppet, and then connected with the dragon vein, and I became the ultimate puppet."

An Lushan exclaimed with immense joy, "His parasitic insects pose no threat to me anymore! From now on, I will stand freely on this earth!"

"Parasitic insects?"

Kakashi Hatake paused, then asked, "Are you talking about Shiki Aburame?"

Uchiha Sasuke also realized what was going on.

Because he saw Aburame Shiki and An Lushan travel through time together.

If it were him, it would make perfect sense for him to transform into Shi Siming and control him.

"Besides him, who else could it be?"

An Lushan's swollen body stopped, and a giant spider looked down at them.

Kakashi Hatake was speechless.

After all that, the villain turned out to be Aburame Shiki?

"Who is Yu Nu Zhi Hui? What's going on?"

Sarah looked bewildered.

She initially thought An Lushan was using the power of the dragon vein to prepare for a rebellion, but the result was that he ran wildly in a direction she had never expected.

"I'll kill his teammates first, then I'll kill him!"

An Lushan leaped into the air.

Eight spider legs burst forth with purple chakra.

His entire body—no, I should say his entire spider body—was like a dazzling sphere, crashing into Kakashi Hatake.

Akimichi Choza stretched out his hand, his fist suddenly grew larger, and he slammed him into the wall with a single punch.

Ultimate Puppet?

Aburame chuckled softly and stretched out her hands.

A swarm of parasites flew out in a dark mass.

"I hate bugs the most!"

An Lushan roared to the sky.

The power of the dragon vein converged on him, and his body suddenly doubled in size.

A parasite covered one of his spider arms, quickly biting off a section, but it immediately regenerated.

Minato Namikaze seemed lost in thought.

He instantly appeared in front of An Lushan, gathered chakra in his hand, and hurled a Rasengan at him.

It rotated like a drill, immediately breaking through the metal skin and creating a pit several centimeters deep.

But in the blink of an eye, the deep pit was filled with purple chakra and then restored.

"The connection between the dragon vein and him must be severed."

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze quickly called out, "Kakashi!"

"clear!"

Although Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze had not fought side by side for a long time, their tacit understanding was ingrained in their bones.

Countless bolts of lightning erupted from his hands.

The next second, he appeared in the middle of the formation and cut straight down.

The ground cracked, thus destroying the formation.

"It's a success!"

Kakashi Hatake immediately looked at An Lushan.

"it's useless!"

An Lushan roared, and the power of the dragon vein gathered once more.

The air is distorted.

The chakra was so abundant that it created shockwaves all around.

"No! His strength is increasing too fast!"

Choza Akimichi's giant fist was deflected and was no longer effective.

The Sword Shadow Clone Technique!

Minato Namikaze threw out a shurikens and quickly formed hand seals.

The shuriken split in two in the air, then into four, and in the blink of an eye, it densely covered his surroundings.

Countless shuriken fell like a torrential rain.

An Lushan's progress was hindered.

"His chest is his weak point!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke Uchiha rushed out.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, his speed reached its limit.

A series of sword lights burst forth, making it difficult to look directly at them.

"Is this Sakumo-senpai's swordsmanship?"

Minato Namikaze looked surprised.

With a loud bang.

The Thunderfire Sword pierced An Lushan's chest.

With a cold expression, Uchiha Sasuke raised his foot, forcing the entire blade of the Lightning Fire Sword into the ground, leaving only the hilt.

"Well done!"

Minato Namikaze praised him without reservation, saying, "Kakashi, you've taught a good student!"

Kakashi Hatake smiled as well.

At that moment, an anomaly occurred.

Countless purple chakra roared out like a giant dragon.

Uchiha Sasuke and the Lightning Fire Sword were sent flying.

"How can his regenerative abilities be so strong?"

Minato Namikaze quickly stepped forward and caught Sasuke Uchiha. He then looked at An Lushan, who seemed unharmed, and sensed that things were going to get complicated.

"Sarah, take them there; you must sever the source of the dragon vein."

Suddenly a voice rang out, "Karin, use the sealing technique to seal the core of the dragon vein."

"Zhihui?"

Kakashi Hatake exclaimed with delight.

"Brother Zhihui!"

In her excitement, Karin forgot to hide her true name.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

"Is that Zhihui?"

Minato Namikaze glanced at it, somewhat puzzled.

He's way more handsome than Shiki Aburame.

"Shiki Aburame!"

An Lushan's eyes turned red.
