"It's obvious that they were all taken away to manufacture weapons of war."

"On behalf of that outstanding minister An Lushan you mentioned."

How could this be...?

Sarah would never have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

After the death of the previous queen, An Lushan became the person she trusted most.

result.

So many years have passed, and I realize that I have been living in a false image that An Lushan created for me all along.

Loulan's prosperity was all a facade, nothing more than a puppet show.

At that moment, an anomaly occurred.

The puppets suddenly turned their heads stiffly.

With a series of clicking sounds, the puppets quickly assembled together, transforming into a giant puppet more than ten meters tall.

Without any hesitation, it swung its fist directly towards Kazan and Sara.

Kazan pulled the terrified Sara behind him, his domineering aura surging within him, blocking the punch in front of him.

Then, he flicked it with his finger.

With just a light flick, Sarah heard a loud "boom" in her ears.

The enormous puppet suddenly collapsed, breaking into pieces scattered all around.

"This is a puppet manipulation technique used by the Sand Village. Do you need me to explain it to you in detail?"

Sarah shook her head. Loulan and Sunagakure had been neighbors for so long, they must know about each other's special profession: puppeteers.

In other words, what the blond guy said was right.

There was never any loyal minister of Loulan named An Lushan; there was only the ambitious, rebellious Sand Ninja Centipede who wanted to use the power of the Dragon Vein to rule the world.

"Then let's go. Take me to the source of the dragon vein, and I'll help you deal with An Lushan."

".....Um!"

Sarah took a deep breath and quickly regained her composure.

She threw off her queenly headscarf, removed her magnificent attire, clenched her fists, and stared with unwavering determination.

Perhaps she had doubts long ago, but only realized them today.

but.

They didn't even need to go looking for him; An Lushan had already come looking for them first.

The earth shattered at that moment, and countless puppet armies emerged from the ground, flew into the air, and surrounded them.

Kazan looked up at the pipes that connected the entire Loulan.

At this moment, countless chakra threads shot out from these pipes, connecting to these puppets, densely packed and overwhelming.

Sarah was startled by this scene and stepped back.

When exactly did it begin?

An Lushan's puppet army had grown to this size.

She could almost see Loulan engulfed in war, and peace shattered.

"The legendary Konoha Demon God!"

"Hahahaha..."

"If I had come earlier, I might have been a little more afraid of you, but now, my plan has succeeded!"

"I have obtained the power of the Dragon Vein, and no one can stop me now, not even you, Kazan, the Demon God of Konoha!"

An Lushan laughed wildly.

Only those who truly understand the power of the dragon vein can comprehend its immense strength.

He's incredibly strong now.

He was confident he could defeat even the strongest ninja in the world.

at the same time.

Two uninvited guests also arrived in Loulan, remaining hidden in the shadows without being detected.

“An Lushan has already obtained the power of the dragon vein. Your friend may be killed without us even having to lift a finger.”

"Dragon Vein?"

snort!

Uchiha Jō snorted coldly, looking at An Lushan as if he were a dead man.

"In the end, he was just an ignorant mortal. The power of the dragon vein is nothing more than natural energy."

"You don't understand Kazan's power. Keep reading."

Uchiha Jō remained calm and continued to hide.

Meanwhile, on Kazan's side...

Ever since An Lushan appeared, he has felt the inexhaustible natural energy underground.

“It’s possible. If the power of the Dragon Vein can be transferred to the Forest of Death, even just a portion of it, it will become like Mount Myōboku.”

Kazan's eyes turned dark gold, and he involuntarily entered Sage Mode.

Dragon veins, what a wonderful thing.

"As payment for dealing with the rebels for you, you cannot hold me responsible for the damage that follows."

"?"

Sarah had no idea what the significance of Kazan's words was.

But she saw it with her own eyes very soon.

Kazan leaped into the air and landed above the puppet army.

The once clear sky was now dimmed, with red lightning flashing continuously from the clouds.

The Conqueror's Haki erupted, almost tearing the sky apart.

Sarah was stunned. Was this the power of a ninja?

Why is there such a big difference between this and what I knew before?

Dark red lightning tore through the sky and earth, creating an apocalyptic scene that sent chills down one's spine.

Sarah suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Wait, no!!"

late.

Kazan burst into laughter, like a demon from hell.

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

The next second, his fist slammed down, detonating amidst the puppet army.

"Fist-Bone Impact!"

Chapter 172 You guys really like piloting Gundams, huh?

"boom!"

As Sarah gasped in surprise, Kazan's iron fist came crashing down.

In an instant, countless puppet troops were shattered into pieces.

Of course, the central square of Loulan was also moved to the ground.

Sarah was stunned, her expression mirroring that of the puppets.

She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Kazan is very strong, which is a great thing. He has the ability to help Loulan overcome this difficulty.

However, the damage he caused seemed to be greater than that of An Lushan's puppet army.

"It's no use, I've already obtained the power of the dragon vein, I'm immortal now!"

An Lushan's body was shattered, and he should have died, but he did not; he was resurrected once again.

"Super-fast regeneration?"

Kazan vaguely remembered that An Lushan used the energy of the dragon vein to transform himself into a puppet and also possessed the ability to regenerate at super speed.

An Lushan, however, was not satisfied with this and seemed to want to show the lofty Konoha demons just how strong he really was.

"Click-clack-click-clack~~~"

Countless puppets soared into the sky, encircling and attacking Kazan.

An Lushan was extremely confident. Possessing the power of the dragon vein, he was practically immortal, able to regenerate rapidly even if his body was shattered into pieces.

Looking at Loulan again, it was now almost entirely surrounded by a puppet army, densely packed and countless.

With the help of the dragon vein, he was able to control even more puppets than Scorpion, surpassing the Hundred Machine Manipulation.

"This quantity, could it really be controlled by one person?!"

Naruto was also stunned, looking at Kazan who was fighting the puppet in the air, and was shocked.

"And that guy seems indestructible!"

The puppeteer's greatest weakness is actually the puppeteer himself.

Once the puppeteer is killed, the puppet will lose control and its ability to fight.

Even if I gave you a hundred sets of Chikamatsu Ten Masters, it wouldn't be of any use.

As a result, An Lushan at this moment gained near-immortality due to the dragon vein. He could regenerate any injury quickly because he had successfully become a puppet, abandoning his physical body and retaining only his consciousness.

It's a situation that seems unsolvable.
