A bag of beans, a pack of cigarettes, and a day of control by the Otsutsuki God

"It seems you quite trust him." Naruto thought.

"Of course! An Lushan is a very capable man. He has managed the country in an orderly manner only six years after he came here. Even my mother praised his ability during her lifetime. He also put forward many ideas about peace. , the country cannot survive without him.”

Judging from the way Sarah looked at her family treasures, it was estimated that An Lushan had successfully gained her trust. If he spoke ill of An Lushan at this time, the effect would be counterproductive.

Naruto has always been experienced in persuading people. If you directly confront something that people firmly believe in, they will not only not believe it, but will immediately regard you as an enemy, and will treat whatever you say next as farts. .

The simplest and most intuitive way to make a person believe what you want her to believe is to show her the indisputable facts.

"Princess Sara, as you said, An Lushan has managed this country in an orderly manner, and now he has organized a grand ceremony. Why don't we go and see it?"

"Of course you can." Sara held her head up very proudly and led the way in front of Naruto.

Naruto and Minato exchanged a look, and the latter knowingly led his teammates to trace An Lushan's traces. The division of labor between the two of them is very clear. Naruto is responsible for Sara's psychological construction, and Minato is responsible for tracking down what An Lushan is doing and where he is.

On the way to the ceremony site, Naruto took a look at the city. In terms of prosperity, it was indeed prosperous. There were European-style high-rise buildings everywhere, the city was covered with floor tiles, there were flat roads everywhere, and there were many places in the middle of the city. There are black pipes. According to Sarah, they are used to transmit the energy of the dragon vein. The entire ancient Loulan country uses the energy of the dragon vein.

On the surface, this city is extremely prosperous, even better built than the cities of the five major countries. However, in fact, Naruto used his energy sense to check around and was surprised to find that there was actually not much population in this city. Instead, there were very many people underground. The large amount of Qi reaction indicated that a considerable part of the people in this city were underground. As for what they were doing, Naruto didn't know, but judging from the weak Qi of this group of people, they might be working as coolies or something like that.

When Sara brought Naruto to the so-called ceremony, Naruto became even more aware of the problem.

The ceremony was indeed very lively. Various amusement facilities and mascot sculptures pulled by carts were paraded on the street. There were cheering crowds everywhere. Fireworks exploded in the sky, and a large number of gorgeous fireworks were displayed all the time. The fireworks were being set off, and the scale of the ceremony was so large that the five major countries were reluctant to do so.

Sarah herself was looking at stars and looked there with admiration: "Look, this is Loulan under the rule of An Lushan. I have never seen such a grand ceremony in my life."

"You are right, everyone is cheering very hard." Naruto pointed to a certain direction in the crowd and said: "Look over there, they have been jumping up and down, waving and cheering, they are very happy."

"Right!" Sarah also looked there very proudly.

"Let's count and see how many jumps he can do." Naruto suddenly proposed an idea that left Sara confused.

"What are you counting this for?" Sara didn't understand what she meant.

"Count it. After you finish counting, I promise to tell you a secret from before An Lushan came here. Aren't you also very interested in him?"

"An Lushan's secret? Seriously?" Sara suddenly became interested.

She has lost her father since she was a child, and has lacked paternal love since she was a child. The appearance of An Lushan just filled this part of her vacancy. In her eyes, An Lushan is as reliable a character as her father, and he is full of mystery. No one knows where he came from or what he went through.

Now when she heard that Naruto, a "fellow fellow" from An Lushan, was going to break the news to him, Sara immediately agreed happily: "Okay! I'll count right away!"

In her opinion, how many times can a person jump no matter how strong he is? This wasn't a skipping rope. He probably stopped after a few jumps. Naruto's secret was simply a waste.

"One, two, three...nine, ten, eleven...one hundred and eleven, one hundred and twelve..."

As she counted, Sara began to feel that something was wrong.

Why is that person dancing all the time? Is that kind of jumping method really not harmful to the body? And the posture and height of each jump are exactly the same...

"The physical strength of the citizens of your country is really extraordinary. It seems to be a strong sports country." Naruto, who already knew the truth, teased.

"Something's not right!" Sara trotted all the way to the back of the "man" and patted him hard: "Hey! I have something to ask you..."

Before she could say anything, the "person" was suddenly knocked to the ground by her. Sarah exclaimed and quickly apologized while helping the other person up: "I'm sorry! Are you injured? I'll arrange for a doctor right away... ...ah!!!!"

Sarah screamed and took a few steps back, because when she turned the other person over, she suddenly discovered that the other person was not a living person at all, but a lifelike wooden puppet. It was hard to tell the difference from a little distance away. The difference between this guy and a living person.

"Don't be surprised yet." Naruto appeared behind Sara at this moment and patted her shoulder: "Would you like to stop looking around?"

Hearing this, Sara trembled and turned her head to look around. Then she was about to scream but Naruto covered her mouth to stop her.

After a while, Sara calmed down and asked Naruto in a trembling voice: "Why are these people... all wooden people?"

"This is related to the first secret of An Lushan that I want to tell you." Naruto explained calmly: "These wooden people are called puppets, which are a kind of combat weapon controlled by chakra. An Lushan should be the manipulator behind the scenes. His real identity is a puppeteer."

Although Naruto came through in a daze, it is not difficult to guess the situation at that time.

Gaara could not rashly activate the power of the dragon vein. The accidental activation of the dragon vein is definitely a man-made disaster. The people who would do this should be some ambitious people in the Kingdom of Wind. After all, the dragon vein contains a huge amount of chakra, which will definitely make some people lose their minds.

Naruto should have just been unlucky to encounter the moment when the other party activated the dragon vein, so he crossed over in a flash.

The reason why he can be sure that the other party is from the Kingdom of Wind is because of the puppets in front of him. Puppetry is the unique skill of the ninjas of the Kingdom of Wind. People who can contact the dragon vein in just a few days can only be people from the Kingdom of Wind.

Based on these clues, it is not difficult to guess An Lushan's true identity.

Sarah did not understand what a puppeteer was. She was full of doubts at the moment: "Why did An Lushan use so many puppets to arrange the scene? What about the people of Loulan? Where did they go?"

Looking around, there were almost puppets all around, and basically no living people. Why didn't the living people of Loulan come to participate in such a grand ceremony? Where did everyone go?

"I'm afraid they don't dare to show up."

Naruto could sense that there were still many people in this city, but they were almost all in remote and difficult-to-find places. It was obvious that they were hiding.

Considering that there were so many people doing hard labor underground, they should be afraid that they would be captured and used as soldiers like those people underground.

"Why don't you dare to show up?" Sarah already had some bad guesses in her mind at this moment.

"Why not ask them in person." Minato's voice sounded on the side, and it was obvious that he had returned from the investigation.

"Ask everyone in person? What do you mean?" Sarah was puzzled.

"Come with me." Minato put his hand on Sarah's shoulder and grabbed Naruto's hand, then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and took the two to a basement in the city.

Here, Sarah finally saw the civilians of Loulan, but when they saw her, they did not show the surprise or respect she expected.

Instead, Sarah read emotions such as anger and fear from their expressions and eyes.

"It's Queen Sarah." Someone said.

There was a little restlessness in the crowd, and then several children and teenagers walked up to Sarah and looked at her with a pleading look: "Queen Sarah, can you give my father and brother back to us?"

"Your father and brother? I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"A few months ago, our father and brothers were taken away by the soldiers, and they said it was your order."

"Impossible! I didn't give such an order!" Sarah was very sure, and then her face suddenly changed drastically. The only person in this country who had the ability to order the soldiers in her name was...

"As I said, An Lushan is a very good puppeteer." Naruto pointed out something.

"No way..." Sarah is not a dull girl. In the face of so many facts, she has roughly understood what is going on.

But she doesn't want to believe that An Lushan, whom she once trusted as a father, is such a person.

"Please let my father go!" Many children knelt in front of Sarah to beg for mercy, which instantly broke Sarah's defense.

She has always believed that the people of Loulan live and work in peace and happiness, but now, the young and middle-aged people of Loulan are missing, the old, weak and sick live in fear, and the children kneel in front of her hoping that she will return their father. Everything that happened before her eyes instantly collapsed Sarah's understanding of Loulan.

"How could this happen, how could this happen..." Sarah knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying: "I thought everyone was living well, I thought An Lushan had settled everyone well, but I didn't expect... What am I, the queen, doing..."

"Put aside the reflection in advance, since you know you are the queen, then cheer up and act like a queen." Naruto helped Sarah up, and then said: "It is our mission to defeat An Lushan. As a queen, you have the responsibility to lead your people to rescue those who have been captured. They are now underground. I will make a road to the underground, and then you will lead people to rescue them!"

Sarah wiped away her tears, and a firm look appeared in her eyes: "I will!"

But then, Sarah and others found that what Naruto said about "making a road" actually really meant opening a road in the physical sense.

Naruto stood in the square and fired a Qigong wave, instantly blasting a huge hole with a radius of dozens of meters in the solid masonry ground, directly penetrating the nearly ten-meter-thick surface, revealing the underground base secretly built by An Lushan below.

"Ah????"

Not only Sarah, but also Minato and his teammates in this world dropped their jaws.

No need to make a seal, a quick and casual blow directly made a big hole that was ten meters deep and nearly a hundred meters wide. What kind of abstract destructive power is this? Tailed Beast Ball?

"What are you doing? Go down and save people!" Naruto rushed down first. He opened the hole diagonally, so there was a slope with a suitable angle between the ground and the underground. Everyone just had to rush down along the slope.

After Naruto rushed into the underground base, he saw the huge factory in the center of the base at a glance. There were slaves tied to the assembly line everywhere. Looking at their haggard faces, it was estimated that if he came a few days later, he would have to eat the feast of this group of people.

However, it was Sarah and others' task to rescue them, and Naruto's task was to kill An Lushan.

At this time, An Lushan, who didn't know the truth, took the initiative to run out from the depths of the base. He was leisurely slacking off in the office, and suddenly heard a loud noise that shook the world. He thought it was an earthquake, so he ran out quickly to protect his factory. Unexpectedly, he ran into a Konoha yellow-haired man head-on.

An Lushan's original name was Baizu. He was a rebel ninja from the Wind Country who came from Naruto's world line. He knew Naruto's deeds, so he recognized the true identity of this yellow-haired Konoha man at first sight.

An Lushan's knees softened at first, and he almost wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but then he suddenly thought.

Hey, that's not right. I have obtained the power of the dragon vein. Now my puppetry has been perfected, and I have transformed myself into a puppet. My life is bound to the dragon vein. As long as the dragon vein is still there, he can continuously restore his body. He can be called immortal.

I am so fierce, why should I be afraid of you, the yellow-haired Konoha man?

So, An Lushan's knees hardened immediately, and he sneered at Naruto opposite him: "It's actually Konoha's Uzumaki Naruto. I didn't expect that he could chase here. Unfortunately, this is now my home court. You are ready to die!"

Naruto couldn't help scratching his head: "Is he so brave..."

Chapter 282 An Lushan, withering!

An Lushan dared to say this, and he was indeed confident. His body swelled instantly and turned into a spider puppet more than two people tall. Obviously, he chose to transform his body into a puppet like the Red Sand Scorpion. Perhaps this is the highest skill in the eyes of the puppeteer. After all, while ensuring that he will not die, replacing the flesh and blood body with a puppet body made of wood and metal is an incredible skill.

"Take it!" Countless flying knives burst out from An Lushan's puppet body, and poison mist began to spread in his body.

The common attack method of the puppeteer is to throw flying knives from the puppet body, or to poison the weapon, or to spread the poison directly into the air. It is indeed very lethal to ordinary ninjas. Once they are infected with their poison, unless they have superb medical skills like Tsunade and Sakura, there is basically no way to survive.

But for Naruto, this attack method can be solved by just bursting his breath.

A strong wave of air suddenly erupted from Naruto's body, instantly sending the flying knife flying away, and even the poisonous fog was instantly blown away. At the same time, Naruto used a backhanded Qigong wave to directly blow An Lushan's puppet body into pieces.

As expected, An Lushan was not so easy to die. If he only had this ability, he would definitely not have the courage to fight Naruto.

The puppet fragments on the ground floated up under the power of the dragon vein. At the same time, a large number of puppet accessories produced in the puppet factory also flew in the air, condensing and reorganizing rapidly in mid-air. As its volume continued to expand, the ceiling above the head and even the soil layer above were directly pushed open. Not long after, a huge puppet with a length of tens of meters was condensed and formed.

Seeing this huge puppet, Naruto did not have any surprised expression, but just pouted his lips in disappointment: "It's so ugly..."

I thought An Lushan would make a huge team radish, but I didn't expect to make an oversized clay doll. Such a large size and so many materials were wasted in vain.

"Hahahahahaha... How is it, how is it! This is me after getting the power of dragon veins!"

An Lushan probably has never seen a truly awesome master in his life. In his eyes, the strongest person is only the level of the Fourth Kazekage. Even the Fourth Kazekage will be exhausted to death when facing him with endless power.

"Immortal body... Immortal and immortal, and I have the power of dragon veins! No one in this world can surpass me!" An Lushan laughed arrogantly.

"I feel so pitiful after hearing this." Naruto shook his head. This man has never seen a strong man...

An Lushan is indeed quite powerful now. With the continuous blessing of the power of dragon veins, ordinary ninjas can't shake such a large puppet at once. Even if some damage is caused, it will be repaired quickly. It is indeed difficult for ninjas like his father to fight An Lushan. If they rely solely on the Rasengan, no matter how good the operation is, the damage is not enough.

Normally, if you want to kill this guy, you should first find a way to turn off the dragon vein power, let him lose the dragon vein bonus, and then kill him in one go.

But if your damage is high enough, then whether to turn off the dragon vein power is not a problem.

Naruto put his hands on his waist, and a light blue ball of light gradually condensed between his hands, muttering: "Ka...Me...Ha....Me....."

"Ha!!!!!!!"

A blue beam of light suddenly shot out, and Naruto used Kamehameha to instantly engulf An Lushan's huge body. His huge body just provided Naruto with an upward firing angle, otherwise it would be inconvenient for Naruto to use Kamehameha in the city.

The huge Kamehameha beam cut through the sky, brushed past the moon, and flew into the depths of the starry sky.

An Lushan still overestimated himself. In his opinion, his body was so big and could be repaired by the power of the dragon vein. It was impossible for the ninja's lethality to destroy his entire body in an instant, so he was equivalent to having an immortal body.

But in fact, the ninja world has many ways to deal with his so-called "immortal body", such as the several Mangekyo of the Uchiha family, Uchiha Obito's Kamui can directly teleport him to the Kamui space to fend for himself, Uchiha Itachi's Ten-fisted Sword can seal him, and Uchiha Shisui can even brainwash him directly.

Naruto used Kamehameha to make An Lushan disappear from the face of the earth, and Sara and Minato's father rescued all the captured people.

As An Lushan was eliminated, the power of the dragon vein regained stability, and white light appeared on him and Minato, which was a sign that the dragon vein was going to send them back.

Minato suggested that everyone's memories be sealed to avoid affecting the future time and space, but Naruto waved his hand and said: "The power of the dragon vein only sent us to a similar world, not a real time travel."

"But when we first met, you once said." Minato recalled the previous conversation: "In your time, the sealing technique I left behind was found in the ruins of Loulan, but I in that era did not leave any impression of the technique. Doesn't this mean that our time is connected?"

Naruto shook his head: "I thought so at first, but you said that you came from Konoha in the 48th year, and you didn't know about the Third Ninja World War. In my world, Konoha in the 47th year The Third Ninja World War happened just after Naruto's death, which is enough to prove that we are just similar but different worlds. "

"I see..." Minato thought, "But what about that sealing technique?"

"Since it was not left by you, it means that in my world, real time travel has occurred. My father has experienced real time travel in the past or future and came to the past. And he used the power of the dragon vein when he traveled, so he left that technique. "

This speculation also means that in Naruto's own world, something big will happen in the future, and this big event even involves real time travel, at least his father was involved.

He didn't know what this thing was, but since he knew it would happen, he just had to increase his combat power in advance.

"Since we are not in the same world, there is no need to worry about the impact on the future." Minato breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not only that." Naruto said to Minato: "I want to go to your world with you."

"Why?"

"I have some questions and some things. I want to go to your time and ask someone who was still alive at that time."

Chapter 283 Torturing Black Zetsu

Normally, after An Lushan's death, Naruto and Minato will be teleported to their own times, but if they use the Flying Thunder God Technique at the moment of being teleported back, they can go to the same place as the user of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
