I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

Puppet Kingdom?

Nara Langui raised his eyebrows.

"Elaborate!"

Namikaze Minato immediately reported in detail what he and Uchiha Shisui had just experienced.

When Nara Langui and Tsunade Hime were tracking the Red Sand Scorpion and leaving the border of Loulan.

Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Shisui also quietly followed that rather special metal puppet army.

Both of them are Konoha's elite ninjas with extremely strong concealment abilities. They followed the puppet army all the way without being discovered, and even followed them to a secret base in Loulan Kingdom.

In that underground secret base.

Countless metal puppets, like overseers, supervise a bunch of ragged, sallow-looking civilians to build a larger puppet army.

Or……

"Puppet Corps!"

Namikaze Minato said with a solemn expression.

"There are a lot of metal puppets in that underground base, and the speed of building puppets is also very fast. It's like an assembly line. It doesn't take long to create a new puppet soldier.

"After a preliminary inspection of the underground base, Lord Zhishui and I, in order to avoid being discovered, quietly left the secret base and went to the surface of Loulan Kingdom to investigate.

"But the situation in Loulan... is also not optimistic."

"The Fourth Generation."

Uchiha Shisui picked up the topic.

"Those civilians who were taken to the underground base by unknown parties should be the original people of Loulan Kingdom.

"And the people living in these high-rise buildings on the ground in Loulan Kingdom now, after investigation by Brother Minato and I, we discovered that they are actually all made of simple puppets.

"This is a puppet city!"

After listening to the reports from Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Shisui, Tsunade frowned tightly.

She has fought against countless Sunagakure ninjas, and she clearly knows how powerful the puppet master of Sunagakure Village is.

Some people always say that ninjas are weapons and tools.

But the puppets of Sunagakure Village are tools and weapons that are more cold and ruthless than ninjas!

"Is it that bad?"

Tsunade asked.

"Minato, and Shisui, have you just calculated how many puppets there are in that secret base?"

"At least it's in the thousands."

Namikaze Minato said in a deep voice.

"And they are all special puppets that can move freely without the link control of chakra threads.

"This kind of puppet is more difficult and dangerous than the puppets in Sand Hidden Village!"

Uchiha Shisui on the side also looked heavy.

Their team has a limited number of personnel.

If those metal puppets hidden underground swarmed up.

According to the number of people, each of them has to deal with at least nearly a thousand puppets!

Uchiha Shisui looked at his captain, then at the yellow flash, and then glanced at the slug princess.

I always feel that he is the most dangerous one!

"Don't worry too much, Brother Minato, Shisui."

Nara Langui spoke to comfort him.

"Although these metal puppets in Loulan Kingdom do not need to be controlled by human chakra threads, they should not be developed to the extent that they can act on their own without orders.

"That is to say, there must be a special central system in Loulan that can control all metal puppets!

"As long as we destroy the central system, there will be no need to worry about those metal puppet soldiers."

Nara Langui's words calmed everyone's emotions a little.

"Nara, use your family's good brain to think of a solution!"

Tsunade looked at Nara Langui and urged him to give the order.

"What should we do now?"

"I think we should first find a 'local' who knows the situation better."

Nara Langui set his sights on the tallest and most majestic building in Loulan.

"For example, the Queen of Loulan Kingdom, or the mysterious minister of Loulan Kingdom."

The situation in Loulan.

The foresighted Nara Langui knew better than Namifeng Minato and Uchiha Shisui.

He also knew who was responsible for Loulan turning into a "puppet kingdom"——

The Shayin rebel Baizu who traveled from the future and was active in Loulan as "An Lushan"!

'I just finished dealing with a Sunagakure rebel ninja, and now I have to deal with another Sunagakure rebel ninja...'

Nara Langui looked away and looked at Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Shisui.

"Besides those puppet soldiers and puppet civilians, did you have any other special discoveries just now?"

The "special discovery" that Nara Langui refers to is actually a person from the future!

In his memory, besides Bai Zu, there is another "future ninja" who will come to Loulan.

If that one really comes...

Nara Langui glanced at Namikaze Minato without leaving any trace.

That scene must be interesting.

"Special discovery?"

Namikaze Minato thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No, Loulan is a very boring country -"

Before Namikaze Minato could finish his words.

boom! !

A bunch of fireworks were suddenly launched into the sky and exploded loudly. The loud roar could be heard far away in Loulan.

Namikaze Minato's face turned red and he stopped talking.

But the fireworks showed no signs of stopping.

boom! boom! boom!

Groups of fireworks exploded in the sky above Loulan Kingdom.

This seems to be some kind of special signal.

The entire oasis city woke up to the roar of fireworks one after another.

Under the gazes of Nara Langui and others, figures one after another walked out of the buildings in Loulan Kingdom.

Their movement speeds are basically the same, and their moving targets are also quite the same - the palace of Loulan Kingdom!

Amidst the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, hundreds of people gathered in front of the palace square of Loulan Kingdom. They crowded around, raised their arms and shouted, and it was so lively.

Even on the back of the [Shadow Creature], you can feel this lively atmosphere rising to the sky.

Tsunade wondered, "Are these people...celebrating?"

Namikaze Minato frowned, "According to previous investigation results, these ordinary people are actually puppets..."

Uchiha Shisui listened intently, "There are more and more people... They seem to be cheering for something, 'Queen'?"

"It seems we have good luck today."

Nara Langui controlled the [Shadow Creature] and flew towards Loulan Palace Square.

"We just repelled the invading enemies, Loulan plans to welcome their queen!"

Hearing this, the other three people looked at Nara Langui in surprise.

"Queen Loulan? Didn't the intelligence say that she died in the war?"

"The information also said that the previous Queen of Loulan had a child, and she was a princess."

Nara Langui looked at the Loulan Palace building and stretched out his fingers.

"Look! There!"

In the gaze of Nara Langui and others.

On the observation deck of the palace building, three figures slowly appeared.

There are two figures separated to the left and right. They are short and stocky, and their specific faces cannot be seen clearly.

The leader, with a thin figure and a tall crown, was waving in response to the cheering and celebrating people below.

"Queen indeed."

Tsunade nodded.

However.

Seeing her ascending the Zhulou.

Seeing her greeting guests.

Seeing her...the building collapsed!

Hua Hua——

Under the watchful eyes of Nara Langui and others.

The thin figure who looked like a queen suddenly stumbled forward for some unknown reason, and the floor of the palace observatory where she was standing suddenly shattered.

"ah--"

Accompanied by a scream that echoed through the sky.

Queen Loulan fell from the tower.
