Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 402: Wanji Exercise, the Queen Falls from the Tower!
White Zetsu,

In essence, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was a Yin-Yang escape soldier transformed from the native humans of the Ninja Realm by the sacred tree.

Most of them have weak combat capabilities and can only be used for reconnaissance, but there are some mutants among them.

The Uzumaki White Zetsu that Uchiha Ci separated from the Third Mizukage was exactly this kind of product.

And between Uzumaki White Zetsu and ordinary White Zetsu, there is a strengthened type of White Zetsu——

Fusion type White Zetsu.

A small giant formed by the fusion of multiple White Zetsu. Not only is its strength far beyond that of ordinary Chunin, it also has the abilities of spitting poison mist, grabbing its own body, and the Mayfly Technique. Even when facing a top-level Jonin, it can achieve impressive results by catching them off guard.

Seeing what was sealed in this scroll, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but frown.
He knew that the Land of Water was Madara's base camp, and he also knew that White Zetsu was now controlled by Uchiha Madara. But given Uchiha Madara's cautiousness, how could he expose White Zetsu in anything other than gathering intelligence?

Unless someone else is controlling it.
"Where did you get this thing?"

"Near the secret place where Kirigakure imprisoned the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, this thing was able to transform into the appearance of another person, and seemed to be quite sensitive to chakra fluctuations. At that time, I switched my body's energy source, and there was no chakra fluctuation, so I was able to get close to it."

Scorpion frowned slightly and continued,
"When we were fighting, several ninjas from the Land of Water suddenly turned into the same pale creature, then merged together and spit out poisonous mist at me."

He didn't say what the result was, but Uchiha Ci still twitched his lips slightly, and could imagine the scene.
If it was a normal ninja, he would have died on the spot after being attacked by a surprise attack.

But this is the Scorpion of Red Sand.

Using poison in front of a scorpion is as effective as wielding a sword in front of Guan Gong.
"Anyway, that's how it is." Scorpion said calmly.
After saying that, he activated the Tailed Beast Reactor in front of his chest and spread his hands.

Since he can't get the energy here, there is no point in staying here any longer. His research has reached a critical moment. The problem of the self-energy reactor has been solved, but there are still many difficulties in dealing with the giant puppet or Gundam developed by Uchiha Ci Susanoo.

However, at this moment,

Deep in the city, a carnival-like cheer suddenly broke out.
sieve!
boom! boom! boom!
The salute flew into the sky, and the fireworks exploded, responding to the night at dusk.
"Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

Crowds of people from all walks of life poured out from the corners of the streets at the bottom of the tower, pushing the large puppet carts used for the celebration, cheering with their hands, and singing the honorific name of the Queen of Loulan.

They were organized and gathered towards the center of the city like a tide of ants.

It's like a grand celebration.

Looking at this scene, the faces of the people on the top of the tower changed slightly at the same time.
Naruto knew that his Captain Yamato had also been caught in the dragon vein, and now the most urgent task was to find other people. When he saw some movement here, he wanted to check it out.

The three people from Konoha knew that there was something strange behind this magnificent scene.

The Scorpion,

"How could someone be able to control so many puppets at the same time?!"

Scorpion looked down and saw a huge crowd of tens of thousands of people. It was as if an invisible hand was controlling them. They gathered, changed teams, interspersed, and held up signs. The crowd's various movements were smooth and orderly.
But the key point is that there was not even a single ninja or samurai responsible for maintaining law and order at the scene.

With the eyes of a skilled puppeteer like Scorpion, he could see at a glance that the parade of nearly 10,000 people was
They are not human at all!
But a puppet!
However, even a genius like Scorpion, who has reached the pinnacle of puppetry and used his brain power to the limit, can only perform the Hundred Machines Manipulation.
For example, Ebizo, a Kage-level warrior whom Uchiha Ci had faced, could only control five puppets. Chiyo, who was known as the best puppeteer of Sand Village, only used the Chikamatsu Ten People to fight.

But the scene below,
Wanji Exercise!

The grand occasion of one person controlling tens of thousands of people was completely beyond common sense. Even Scorpion was shocked for a moment.

Soon, he came back to his senses, his eyes narrowed, and he kept scanning this puppet city, which he thought had various flaws, and the dense chakra line connection method that controlled the tens of thousands of people below.
The movement that was about to leave also stopped at this moment, and Scorpion couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"It seems that this place is not without some value."

On top of the tower,

After talking to Minato for a long time, Naruto, who was smiling again, jumped out, and led Minato's team and Sasori to the city center. Looking at this scene, Uchiha Ci also recalled,

at this time,

An Lushan, Loulan's minister of state, who was the centipede who traveled here six years ago, had already learned how to open the dragon vein from the former Loulan queen he killed.

Today's grand ceremony was arranged to kill the current Queen Sarah of Loulan here.

According to the original story, Naruto would come to the rescue of Sarah at this time, and then follow the clues to find the centipede's conspiracy, and finally discover the centipede's conspiracy and start a fierce battle with it.

And now,
Naruto wasted time fighting with Scorpion and meeting Minato.
So at this moment, didn't Queen Sarah of Loulan really take a leap of faith?

"It seems quite lively over there, don't you want to go?"

At the side, Hidan, who had disappeared while hugging the top of the tower, turned his head and asked tremblingly,

"Hey, Ci, if you're not going, can you take me down first?"

Uchiha Ci twitched his lips slightly.

"Your immortality is really useless."

"But," Uchiha Ci raised his head after estimating.
Looking at the tall tower in the center of the city surrounded by the puppet army, and the red-haired girl who was about to be pushed down from the tower,

He turned around and looked at Feidan.
"Since there is no one to save the queen,"

"Then Hidan, big brother, I will give you a marriage!"

"No, buddy!" Hidan was confused, "What did you say!?"

"Get it!"

Uchiha Ci grinned.
The next moment,
Flames rise and skeleton emerges!
The giant hand covered with flames grabbed the tiny Hidan and threw him like a javelin.
His eyes quietly turned scarlet, finding the exact spot to land.
then,

Swing your arm and shoot out through the hole!

"Uchiha Ci, I ****! ****!! Beep! Beep!"

With a long string of silenced words, Feiduan widened his eyes in horror, looking at the things around him that instantly turned into lines and were pulled at a rapid speed. He couldn't help but turn around and glare at Uchiha Ci, cursing.

After throwing out Hidan,
Uchiha Ci stood on the top of the tower, closing his eyes slightly.

He didn't seem to intend to get involved in the farce in Loulan.

In fact, it is true.
Even if he learned how to use the power of the dragon veins, and used the technology brought back from the future to create a Hundred-footed puppet that was comparable to a Gundam puppet and could beat a normal Naruto without any chance of fighting back,

At this point, he was not worthy of being his opponent.

From the beginning to the end, Uchiha Ci understood why he came here.

And his opponent——

"found it!"

Narrow purple eye shadows and bulging blood vessel lines appeared around the eyes, and in an instant he entered the second form of Sage Transformation and Curse Seal, greatly enhancing his perception.

Uchiha Ci suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at a red tower on the side of the central tower of Loulan City.

"The Three Snake Princesses of Ryuchi Cave!"
