"..."
Kakashi rolled his eyes again at Naruto's words.
He and Erase can't handle it? If Erase can't, then I'm afraid nobody in the world can't do it.
Kakashi looked at Naruto and asked: "What's your rank?"
"Ah ... that..."
Naruto began to hesitate: "Well, how to say it...The Chuunin exam was abruptly interrupted, and then something else happened, and I continued to train hard..."
Kakashi's face darkened, " So you're just a Genin?"
"Ahem!"
Naruto coughed in embarrassment and exclaimed ," It doesn't mean anything! I am very strong, even Jounin is no match for me! In short, you must listen to me now. Erase, you will be responsible for the protection of Sarah, and the teacher Kakashi will help me deal with Mukadi."
"...."
Kakashi said nothing.
Then he turned to Erase and asked: "Big brother, what are we going to do next?"
He decided to just ignore Naruto.
Erase also ignored Naruto: "Just find Mukade and finish him off. Sarah, you know where Mukade is, right? Ah, right, his name is Anrokuzan now."
He turned to Sarah.
Sara was confused while listening to Naruto and Kakashi's conversation, hearing Yeruashi's question, she didn't react for a while and then exclaimed in disbelief, " Anrokuzan? No, he can't be Shinobi Mukade, please don't say that!"
Kakashi looked at Sara, " Just because you think so doesn't mean it's true."
Sarah said confidently, " He is an outstanding Minister of Rouran who appeared here about six years ago. Now he has inherited my late mother's will and is leading the kingdom to a brighter future! If you think about it, you're a lot more suspicious!"
When Sara's gaze met Yeruashi's, she abruptly turned away, and her voice became less determined: "Even if you saved me, it doesn't give you the right to say nasty things about Minister Rouran!"
Erase silently looked at Sara.
Silence.
He took a step forward, put his hand on Sarah's shoulder, and said calmly, " Stop fooling yourself...you're not stupid at all. Haven't you noticed any strange things lately?"
"..."
Sarah gritted her teeth.
With just one sentence, her resolve was abruptly weakened. After her mother's death, Sarah really started noticing some strange things, even the death itself was suspicious. But because after losing her mother, Sarah could only rely on Anrokuzan, she subconsciously didn't want to think in that direction.
Erase looked at Sarah, and pointed to the puppets, joyfully welcome their Queen: "Do you want to take a closer look at your subjects?"
"What?"
Sarah turned and looked doubtfully at the square.
Erase picked up Sarah and jumped off the tower straight to the puppets, which she considered to be her "subjects".
Kakashi, who had been watching Sara closely all this time, shook his head.
"This queen..."
"What happened?"
Naruto asked, puzzled.
Kakashi grumbled, " Isn't it obvious? Looks like you didn't even have a girlfriend..."
Phew!!
The sound of an arrow mercilessly piercing the heart seemed to be heard.
After receiving a critical hit, Naruto was petrified and felt broken into many small pieces.
Kakashi ignored Naruto and jumped down from the tower.
On the ground.
When Erase grabbed Sarah and jumped off the tower, she was scared, she unconsciously clung to him. After landing, she hurriedly walked away and wanted to say something like "there's nothing between us yet", but suddenly felt a sense of horror.
She noticed that the people waving their hands and shouting her name happily were actually mere puppets!
"How..."
Shock flashed across Sarah's face.
She pushed a few of the puppets aside and found that there were even more of the same puppets behind them, unable to find a single living person.
"I see..."
Yeruashi looked at Sara, " According to my investigation, the shinobi Mukade using the alias Anrokuzan came to the Rouran Kingdom to take over the Dragon's Dwelling, and the citizens of your kingdom are being used as free labor to create an army of puppets."
"How could it...something like this will happen..."
Sarah flinched and took a couple of steps back.
Just at this moment, the surrounding puppets abruptly froze.
They broke apart and gathered into a huge puppet with a massive hammer in his hand, the puppet rushed to Sarah and Erase.
Boo!
Yeruashi calmly stepped forward, his right palm wrapped in arcs of lightning, he waved his hand towards the sickle, in the next instant, the puppet shattered into pieces.
"It should be clear to you now."
Erase looked at Sarah, hiding behind him.
Sarah bit her lip, although she still didn't want to believe it, but the scene she saw was impossible to refute, and uncertainty and helplessness flared up in her heart.
Erase put his hand on her shoulder, "Show me where it is located, Lived a Dragon, I'll help."
Sarah looked at Erase and resolutely nodded, trembling in the eyes gradually calmed down.
"...yes!"
Sarah took a deep breath, finally regaining her composure, and then took off her crown, stripped off her lush royal robes, and resolutely clenched her fists: "I'll take you!"
Kakashi, who was watching from the sidelines, sighed helplessly and shook his head, " Ah, big brother has another fan, this time also a queen....what a misfortune, what a misfortune ... eh."
The moment Kakashi sighed helplessly.
Crack! Crack!!
There was a rumble, the ground split open and a large number of puppets surged to the surface.
Kakashi abruptly became serious and took a few steps back.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a human figure standing on the back of one of the puppets in the distance: "Konoha Shinobi, as always, are vigilant and dangerous...But my plan is already complete, I have captured the power of the Dragon Vein! Now no one can stop me, ha-ha-ha!!"
Erase sighed: "Ah, hate to disappoint, but you're only a cameo villain..."
Agrokuban frowned, not understanding what he's talking about Erase. Just as he was about to reply, Sarah took a step forward and exclaimed, " Anrokuzan! Stop, now! Why are you doing this?"
Anrokuzan shifted his gaze to Sarah and grinned maliciously, " I thank you for your help, Queen...but now you're useless, so you can go to your mother!"
Hearing these words, Sara shuddered, she had always considered her mother's death suspicious, and Anrokuzan's words confirmed a theory she had never dared to think about.
She stepped back and said with a tremor in her voice: "It can't be you...."
"You've finally figured it out."
Anrokuzan grinned: "Your mother was..."
Phew!!
He didn't have time to finish the sentence.
A silvery slash flashed, wrapped in arcs of lightning, tearing Anrokuzan to shreds.
"I'm tired of listening to nonsense."
Erase slowly lowered his hand.
Kacha! Kacha!!
In the next instant, the fragments of Anrokuzan's body, torn to shreds by the Eruashi Crescent's Flash, flashed with purple chakra and gathered together.
Anrokuzan spread his hands and sneered arrogantly, " With the power of the Dragon Vein, I have boundless power...I am immortal!!"
Phew!!
Accompanied by the words of Anrokuzan.
A huge number of puppets poured out from the ground and surrounding buildings, filling the vast square like a puppet legion. The number of puppets far surpassed the Collection of Ten Chikamatsu Chiyo Puppets and even the Performance of a Hundred Sasori Puppets. Relying on the Dragon Vein's energy, Anrokuzan far exceeded the limits of any Puppeteer relying on his own strength.
"This is the number..."
Kakashi's gaze became heavy.
Naruto, who was standing at the side of Yeruashi, exclaimed in a daze, " Such a number...how do we deal with this?! Besides, this guy can't be killed, we're in trouble..."
The best way to deal with a puppeteer is to kill the puppeteer himself, then all his puppets will turn into useless trash, but this puppeteer seems to be impossible to kill. Naruto just didn't know what to do in such a situation!
Sarah turned very pale.
Unexpectedly, Anrokuzan has already created so many puppets and controls them with the help of the Dragon Vein, not only that, he even merged with it himself, becoming almost immortal!
Sarah looked involuntarily at Erase.
"It's really a bit troublesome."
Yeruashi glanced briefly at the legion of puppets and looked at Anrokuzan, at the same time drawing Kusanagi's Blade from its scabbard and addressing Sara seriously, "Quickly show me where the Dragon's Vein is, Sara."
"Otherwise...I can't guarantee that I won't destroy everything around me."
