Naruto nodded and asked, "Dad, what should we do next?"
Watergate pondered for a moment and said, "Let's get close to the princess of Loulan. She probably doesn't know that her mother was killed by someone."
"Should we save her?"
Kushina frowned. She had the same amount of information as Minato. With her intelligence, she could also guess that Tanro killed her mother and left her alive to this day to use the Queen's family to manipulate the Ryumyaku's power.
Her mother was secretly killed and used by someone. This princess of Loulan was really pitiful.
"En." Watergate nodded and said, "No matter what that guy wants to do with the Dragon Vein, we can't let him continue."
"We have to go quickly. If the opponent discovers our intentions, it will be too difficult to take away the princess of Loulan from under his nose."
Watergate said and looked at Shinna Kushina and Naruto. The latter said, "Then I will lead the way."
The former patted Naruto's shoulder and said, "Don't be too far away from me and Shinna Kushina. Also … after seeing the princess of Loulan, don't be rash because in her eyes, we might be the intruders."
He couldn't be sure what kind of thoughts Tanro had instilled in the princess of Loulan to make her help him control the Dragon Vein to achieve his goal.
But in the eyes of the princess of Loulan, Tanro, who used the alias of An Lushan, was a good person.
And they, the foreign ninjas, were the enemy.
Naruto was startled and then nodded.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! The three figures flashed and disappeared from the building.
...
In a palace, a petite figure was hiding in a dark corner of the hall. Her hands were hugging her knees and trembling.
Her small face was full of fear and her eyes were uneasy.
Outside the hall, there were armored guards patrolling the area. Even so, they couldn't provide the children with any sense of security.
"Creak!"
The tightly shut palace doors seemed to have been opened. She subconsciously lifted her eyes and looked in that direction. However, there was not a single person outside the opened palace doors.
"Princess Sarah, why are you hiding here?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside her ear. Only then did Sara abruptly raise her eyes. A figure had unknowingly appeared beside her.
"There was a huge commotion outside the palace just now. I'm very … scared."
When she saw who it was, the uneasiness in Sarah's eyes faded a little.
The battle that had just taken place in Lou Lan had indeed affected a lot of people. Hence, even though Sarah was here, she could still feel the huge commotion.
"You don't have to be afraid. I will do my best to protect you. The future of Lou Lan will be entrusted to you, the queen who is about to succeed the throne."
"So, please pull yourself together."
The black-robed man in front of her bowed to Sarah and then pulled her up from the corner. A seemingly kind smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Mm, Uncle An Lushan, thank you … If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to manage Lou Lan by myself."
Sarah trusted the man in front of her very much. In the past few months, her mother and the ministers of Lou Lan had all been secretly harmed by bad people from outside Lou Lan.
Not long ago, she had seen the ninjas of Sunagakure with her own eyes. They had wanted to approach and harm her.
If it weren't for An Lushan, she might have died at the hands of the ninjas.
"What are you saying? As a minister of Lou Lan, these things are my duty."
An Lushan smiled faintly. Without Sarah noticing, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sharp arc, looking extremely cold.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to use this girl's special ability to control the Dragon Vein, he would have already sent her to see her mother.
That stupid queen, she actually refused to cooperate with me …
Compared to her, her daughter, who was only thirteen years old, was like a marionette in his hands that he could manipulate at will.
After comforting Sarah a little, An Lushan left.
...
"It's here."
Not long after, under Naruto's lead, Watergate's group of three arrived at a building.
They looked at each other, and then their figures flashed out and entered it.
...
Avoiding several guards, Watergate's group of three arrived at the corridor of the palace where Princess Sarah was.
At this moment, there were several armored guards patrolling back and forth in front of the palace.
"Dad, should we do it now?" Naruto asked softly. He was sure that the daughter of the Queen of Lou Lan was inside.
Watergate and Shinna Kushina had been observing the periphery of the palace. After a while, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Naruto didn't know anything about Seal Barrier Jutsu, but with their level, of course, they could see that there was a Perception Barrier around the palace.
This was naturally Tanro's method. It seemed that the Loulan Princess was an important part of his plan.
But this barrier should be able to block perception. How had Naruto sensed the Loulan Princess within the barrier?
"Wait a moment," Watergate whispered and then formed a hand seal.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, he suddenly rushed out. Before the armored guards could react, he pressed his palm on the palace's door.
When he was done, some of the guards turned their heads and realized what was going on.
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, several figures charged out from behind Watergate. They were all Shinna Kushina's clones.
These guards wore tough armor, but they weren't very strong. Thus, in just a few exchanges, they were subdued by Shinna Kushina's clones.
Naruto was taken aback. They were clearly trying to avoid the perception of the Dragon Vein, but now, Dad and Mom were using ninjutsu.
In this way, they will be noticed by Tanro, who manipulates the Dragon Vein.
However, under his careful perception, he found that when he wanted to extend his perception, he encountered some kind of obstruction.
"Don't worry, the perception enchantment here has been rewritten by the Water Gate. Now that we are in that guy's own enchantment, he shouldn't have thought that the means he set up gave us an opportunity to take advantage of."
Kushina raised her neck slightly, her expression was quite proud, as if she was the one who did it, and she was the one who was happy.
Naruto heard this and couldn't help but look at Watergate and Shinna Kushina in front of him.
These are his parents, no matter what era they are in, they are such excellent ninjas.
And as their child, he is …
"Okay, let's go in."
Shinna Kushina turned her head and said to Naruto. At this time, Watergate opened the door and walked in.
He glanced slightly and saw the trembling figure in the corner at this moment.
