"…"
Hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi rolled his eyes again.
What do you mean he and Maples might not be able to deal with him? If Maples can't deal with him, then no one in the Shinobi World can!
Kakashi looked at Naruto and asked, "What level of Ninja are you?"
"Ah … Well …"
Naruto's expression immediately froze and said, "Well, how should I put it … There was an accident in the Chunin Exam and it was interrupted. After that, something else happened, and I've been practicing …"
Kakashi looked at Naruto with dead fish eyes and said, "So you're actually a Genin now?"
"Cough!"
Naruto scratched his head awkwardly, then thought of something and said, "That doesn't mean anything! I'm very strong, even a Jonin isn't my opponent! In short, listen to me. Maples, you go protect Sara. Kakashi -sensei, you go with me to find Muzu. "
"…"
Kakashi was silent for a while.
Then he turned to Maples and said, "Big brother, what should we do next?"
He had decided to ignore Naruto.
Maples also ignored Naruto and said, "Just find Muzu and kill him. Sara, you should know where Muzu is, right? Oh, yes, he's called Anlushan now. "
As Maple Night spoke, he turned to look at Sarah.
Sara was confused by the conversation between Kakashi and Naruto, but when she heard Maples's question, she suddenly reacted, and then her expression suddenly tightened, and said, "Anlushan? No, Anlushan can't be Muzu, please don't say such things again! "
Kakashi glanced at Sara and said, "That's just what you think."
Sara argued, "Anlushan is an outstanding minister who came to this country six years ago. Now, he has inherited mother's will and is working hard to develop this country. Compared to you, who suddenly appeared, it's more suspicious!"
As she said, she looked at Maples. When her eyes met with Maples, she couldn't help but look away, and her tone became a little weaker, and said, "Even if you saved me, you can't hurt Minister Anlushan like this!"
Maples looked at Sara and didn't speak.
Silence ensued.
He took two steps forward and stopped in front of Sarah. He put his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Don't deceive yourself anymore … With your intelligence, can't you detect any suspicious signs after so many years?"
"…"
Sarah's lips tightened.
These words instantly shattered her previous retort. After her mother's death, all sorts of suspicious points had arisen, including her mother's death itself. But after that, the only person she could rely on was An Lushan, so she had always resisted thinking in that direction.
Maple Night looked at Sarah and let go of her hand. He walked to the side of the platform and pointed at the puppets who were cheering and praising the Queen. "Do you want to see the faces of your people who have been praising you?"
"Hmm?"
Sarah looked over with a hint of doubt.
Maples took two steps back and appeared beside her in a flash. He leaped down from the tower with her and landed among the puppets that she thought were her 'subjects'.
Kakashi's eyes were always observing Sarah. Seeing this, he couldn't help but whisper.
"This Queen …"
"What's wrong?"
Naruto asked strangely.
Kakashi glanced at Naruto and said, "Can't you see it? Don't tell me you haven't even been in love before. "
Crack!!
It was as if he heard an arrow piercing his heart.
Naruto's whole body was petrified. In an instant, he felt like he was broken into countless pieces.
Kakashi ignored Naruto and also jumped down from the tower.
Below.
Sarah was startled when Maples suddenly brought her down from the tower. She subconsciously hugged Maples. After landing, she hurriedly let go. She was about to say 'there's nothing between us' when she suddenly fell into shock.
She noticed that the 'subjects' who were waving all kinds of things and shouting her name and praising her were all puppets!
"How can this be …"
Sarah's face showed a hint of shock.
She pushed away a few puppets in disbelief, only to find that they were all puppets. None of them were real people.
"Did you see it?"
Maples looked at Sarah and said, "According to my investigation, after your mother's death, Baizu used the energy of the Ryumyaku to make all kinds of puppet weapons, and forced all your subjects to work as laborers."
"This kind of thing … how can …"
Sarah's eyes trembled, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
Almost at this moment, the nearby puppets froze all of a sudden.
Following that, the puppets were broken into pieces and then pieced together into a large puppet. It held a huge sickle in its hand and slashed at her fiercely.
Crash!!
Maples's face was calm. He took a step forward, and intertwined lightning appeared in his left hand. He casually swept at the scythe, and the entire puppet behind it collapsed into countless pieces.
"See clearly this time."
Maples looked at Sarah, who was hiding behind him, and said.
Sarah bit her lip. Even though she still couldn't believe it, the facts before her eyes forced her to believe it. Hesitation and helplessness welled up in her heart.
At this time, Maples lightly placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Tell me where the source of the Ryumyaku's energy is, and I will help you."
Sarah's body trembled, and she looked up at Maples. The trembling in her eyes gradually calmed down, and a glimmer of light appeared in them once more.
"… Mm!"
Sarah took in a deep breath and steadied herself. She threw away the Queen's headscarf, tore off her coat, and tore apart her long skirt. She clenched her fists and said, "I'll take you there!"
Kakashi stood nearby and sighed. "As expected, there's another woman who's interested in Big Brother. And this time, it's a Queen … How troublesome."
Just as Kakashi was sighing …
Crack! Crack!!
Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds came from underground. Next, the ground suddenly shattered and a large number of puppets surged out from underground.
Kakashi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took a few steps back.
Behind the puppets, An Lushan, dressed as a minister, walked out from the ground on a puppet and said, "Konoha's ninjas are really persistent … But my plan has succeeded, and I have obtained the power of the Ryumyaku. You can't stop me, hahahaha!!"
Maples sighed and said, "Someone like you usually won't live past two episodes."
An Lushan raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Maples was saying. Just as he was about to attack, Sarah suddenly stepped forward and glared at him. "An Lushan! Stop it! What are you doing? "
Seeing this …
An Lushan sneered evilly and said, "I'm grateful for your help, but you're useless now. Die with your mother!"
These words made Sarah's heart tremble. She had always had doubts about her mother's death, and An Lushan's words confirmed the answer that she didn't dare to think about.
She couldn't help but take two steps back and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that you …"
"You finally realized."
An Lushan chuckled and said, "Your mother is a …"
Huala!!
Before he could finish his sentence.
A flash of lightning swept over and cut An Lushan into pieces.
"I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore."
Maples slowly lowered his left hand.
Kacha! Kacha!!
A moment later, the fragments of An Lushan that had been shattered by Fengye's Moonflash, bathed in violet chakra, once more began to gather in one direction and reform.
He spread his hands and laughed arrogantly. "I have obtained the power of the Ryumyaku. Here, my power is unlimited. I am immortal!!"
Huala!!
Along with An Lushan's actions …
A large number of puppets flew out from the nearby underground and buildings. They were densely packed and covered the entire square. It was like a puppet army. In terms of the number of puppets, it had far exceeded Chiyo's Kinsong Ten, and also exceeded Sasori's Hundred Machine Drill. This was achieved by relying on the Ryumyaku's energy. It was no longer a level that the puppeteers themselves could achieve.
"This number …"
Kakashi's expression changed slightly.
Naruto, who landed next to Maples, also had a change in expression. "How can there be so many of them? How can we deal with them? And that guy doesn't seem to be dead. This is troublesome!"
Originally, to deal with the puppeteers, they only needed to kill the puppeteer himself. But now, the puppeteer himself couldn't be killed. He didn't know how to deal with it!
Sara's face also turned pale.
She didn't expect An Lushan to have used the power of the Ryumyaku to create so many puppets. Moreover, he seemed to have fused with the power of the Ryumyaku and become immortal!
She couldn't help but look at Maples.
"This is indeed a bit troublesome."
Maples looked around and his gaze fell on An Lushan's body. He slowly pulled out the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi sword with his right hand, and lightning appeared on the edge of the sword. He said to Sara.
"Tell me the location of the source of the Ryumyaku, Sara."
"Otherwise … I might not be able to guarantee that I won't destroy the environment here."
