"Your Majesty, please lead us to the transit station of the Dragon Vein."

Kiyoshi said.

He could sense that someone had come in from outside.

It should be An Lushan returning to the city.

However, he could not perceive the specific details, as the dragon vein chakra affected his perception.

Here, the only people unaffected by the dragon vein chakra are the Queen's lineage.

They possess special abilities similar to bloodline limits, allowing them to not only utilize the power of the dragon veins to a certain extent but also to sense the specific location of the dragon veins.

In the movie, Naruto found the Dragon Vein transfer station through Sara.

"I……"

Sarah still looked doubtful, not quite believing that An Lushan, the minister who had watched her grow up, had betrayed Loulan.

"If Your Majesty does not believe us, please come with us."

Qingsi spoke.

An Lushan should now have a puppet in the likeness of Sara made to serve as the queen of this country.

Extremely arrogant, he didn't take the Konoha ninjas seriously even though he knew they had come to Loulan.

This is normal, after all, he combined the power of the dragon vein with puppetry.

As long as the dragon vein's power continues, it will continuously regenerate, no matter how fierce the attack.

It can be said that his "immortality" is even more impressive than that of Hiruko and Hidan.

The only limitation is the amount of dragon vein chakra.

However, for an individual, the Dragon Vein Chakra is almost infinite, the energy of the entire planet, which is more than enough for An Lushan to squander.

However... as long as the connection is severed, preventing An Lushan from using the dragon vein, this move can be countered.

"it is good."

Sarah nodded.

Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving.

She still wanted to see for herself whether the facts were as Kiyoshi had said.

Seeing this, Qing Si led Sarah to a tower in the very center of Loulan.

Kurenai, Kakashi, and Might Guy naturally followed immediately.

Hinata didn't hesitate and quickly followed.

Nohara Mio and Karin exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Before long, the group arrived at a very tall tower.

The people here cheered enthusiastically.

From the top of the tower, a puppet resembling Sarah emerged, mechanically waving to the people below.

This desolate city is inhabited only by a puppet queen and puppet subjects.

This scene evokes a strong sense of absurdity.

Even the carefree Matt Kai felt a chill.

This place really does resemble a "ghost town".

Sarah stared wide-eyed at the scene.

“That’s…that’s…”

She couldn't speak, and pointed to the puppet replica of herself on the balcony.

"That's your substitute puppet."

Kiyoshi said slowly.

Here, the Queen is the legitimate heir to the country.

Therefore, even though An Lushan had sidelined Loulan and even plotted to kill Sara.

Even though he didn't know whether Sarah was alive or dead, he immediately became her puppet instead of ascending the throne right away.

This is the ideological imprint of the ninja world.

Royal power is divinely ordained.

Whether they are called great names or queens, they are all people born into nobility.

He is destined to rule this world; no matter how strong others are, they can only be figures like the Shogun.

"..."

Sarah fell silent.

She looked up at the masked man in front of her.

Suddenly I felt like I had been abandoned by the world.

Here... the people are fake.

Even she has become a fake.

An Lushan was a hypocritical traitor.

Her closest mother had also passed away long ago.

"Don't worry, Konoha will uphold justice for you."

Kiyoshi's tone was tinged with amusement as he raised his hand and ruffled Sarah's hair, causing her long, bright red hair to sway.

Strands of her hair fell down to her chest, covering the intricate patterns on her clothes.

"Thank you."

Sarah spoke solemnly.

"It's alright, I'll just take a small commission."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Dragon vein chakra is a decent reward.

Perhaps Sarah doesn't realize now that in ten or twenty years, this place will become Qing Si's territory.

The Land of Wind has been transferred to Kiyoshi.

The dragon vein chakra within must naturally be developed by him alone.

"Thank you very much for your kind words."

Sarah said, moved.

She thought that all Kiyoshi wanted was money.

After all, an S-rank mission is only worth a million taels of silver.

This is a lot of money for an individual, but it's just a drop in the ocean for a nation.

No matter how small the ancient Loulan Kingdom was, it was still a city with thousands of towers.

"I am now sensing the direction of the dragon vein."

Sarah closed her eyes, intently sensing the flow of the dragon vein in the air.

A minute later, Sarah opened her eyes.

"I found it."

Sarah jogged toward someone.

"Let's go."

Kiyoshi said.

Before long, the group arrived at a place with many pipes.

Kiyoshi tore open the metal fence with his bare hands, revealing the entrance to the sewer.

"It's down there."

Sarah confirmed.

Qing Si nodded, and the others followed him down.

After walking around for a while, everything suddenly became clear.

There was an open space ahead, filled with various sophisticated equipment.

The purple dragon vein chakra was transported through various pipelines and then used to mechanically produce puppet soldiers.

Those responsible for production were the living, breathing people of Loulan.

Sarah was horrified.

An Lushan could only have produced so many puppet soldiers for one purpose.

That would be to start a war!

She would never allow this power to be used for war.

"What are you doing here?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from behind.

Sarah looked over and said:

“An Lushan, I already know that you have betrayed Loulan.”

"In the name of the Queen, I hereby order the cessation of the development of puppet weapons and the immediate release of the subjects who are being forced into labor!"

An Lushan remained calm.

Compared to his thin appearance in Sunagakure, he now looks much fatter.

He gracefully performed a gesture of respect.

"Wow, you already know so much. Then I can't let you live. There are plenty of puppets to replace you. My puppet army has already grown to a considerable size."

An Lushan's mouth split open.

He looked down at Kiyoshi.

The first thing An Lushan noticed upon entering wasn't Sarah, but this man.

The man who once looked down on him.

"It's been so long! If you hadn't sent me to find Loulan, how would I be where I am today?"

"Centipede, is it? Your current name, An Lushan, sounds better than before, but unfortunately, it can't hide your despicable nature."

Qingsi shook his head.

An Lushan took a different approach, since it was difficult for ordinary people to use the power of the dragon vein.

He used the puppet as a relay, employing its power.

If Scorpion knew about An Lushan's skills, he would probably be very interested and think that they were like-minded people.

Because they all modified their bodies, turning themselves into complete puppets.

An Lushan was no exception; his current appearance was merely a disguise.

The real him had long since become neither human nor ghost.

"Hehehe... You cannot understand my ultimate body now."

An Lushan laughed loudly.

Purple chakra threads flickered between his fingers, and countless puppets snapped into action, surrounding Kiyoshi and the others.

An Lushan spread his arms wide, tearing the official robes of a minister to shreds with his swollen body.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a hideous monster resembling a spider.

If you look closely, you'll find that the monster is made entirely of puppet mechanisms.
