Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

Among the towering buildings, a golden figure disappeared in an instant.

Neither the puppets working in mid-air nor the people of Loulan walking between the buildings noticed anything unusual.

So many puppets?

Naruto was secretly startled, the puppets he saw along the way alone were enough to fight a small battle.

Although most of these puppets are engaged in production, their war potential is unquestionable...

He remembered that when he first came to Loulan, there were not so many puppets in Loulan, and production relied on simple manpower.

In just one year, has Loulan completed the industrial revolution...

However, these otherworldly versions of 'mechanical revolution' further confirmed his speculation.

Ninjas are never just killing machines. They definitely have great potential in production.

Sensing Queen Loulan's chakra, Naruto temporarily put down his thoughts, and his body entered Nine Lama Mode and disappeared instantly.

To be honest, even he himself didn't have an accurate estimation of how fast he was after entering the Nine Lama Mode.

A vague concept is that his use of the teleportation technique in normal state is completely inferior to the high-speed movement in the nine lama mode.

Under the puppets all over the sky, Naruto did not expose himself immediately.

Since the queen of Loulan lit the token he left behind, it meant that he had encountered difficulties, but he didn't know what the difficulties were, so he could only be careful.

If those puppets all over the sky are the enemy's means...

But the dragon vein energy was sealed by the Fourth Hokage, his father...

Feeling the chakra separated by a wall, Naruto didn't think about who the enemy is this time, anyway, the answer will be revealed soon.

[Let's listen to Queen Loulan's thoughts. 】

……

"My lord, in order to ensure the smooth construction of people's livelihood facilities and better resist foreign enemies, I request to further expand the production scale of puppets." An Lushan suggested, looking at the woman on the throne.

He had thought about it, this time the foreign enemy was not only a risk, but also accompanied by unprecedented opportunities.

Just like the right to use the energy of the dragon veins, if there is no oppression from foreign enemies, he does not know how much effort he will spend if he wants to go further.

"I will consider it." Saya did not agree immediately.

Foreign enemies are dangerous, but An Lushan is also not someone who can be completely trusted.

She needs to accurately grasp the balance point between both parties.

"My Lady Queen..." An Lushan wanted to say more.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall and appeared beside him.

Feeling the familiar chakra, An Lushan's expression changed. Although a year had passed, he would never forget that inhuman chakra, even if he had now mastered part of the dragon vein energy.

He was still terrified by the bastard who suddenly appeared and threatened him to undo the dragon vein seal.

Naruto looked suspiciously at the fat man beside him.

If it weren't for that weird chakra, he would never have recognized this fat man as the thin sand ninja he once was.

"My Lady Queen, please take him down immediately, he is definitely more dangerous than those ninjas just now."

An Lushan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping to the side and quickly admonishing the woman on the throne.

He can't handle that bastard, but someone can.

When Saya saw Naruto, she looked happy, especially when she saw An Lushan's expression like a mouse seeing a cat, the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Ms. Saya." Naruto withdrew his eyes from Baizu. Although this guy's chakra became more weird, his weak state has not changed, so there is nothing to worry about.

"I came here for the promise I made."

"Thank you." Saya stepped off the throne and secretly observed the boy in front of her. After a year of separation, the height of the two also changed from looking down to looking up.

But what shocked her even more was that the boy's aura was the aura that would only be possessed by a high position like her for a long time.

Although it is still very indifferent, there is no doubt that the former boy has grown into a big man with power in his hands.

Seeing that the two had entered into a state of communication, An Lushan's heart couldn't stop falling down.

The woman obviously knew that bastard, and even he, a minister who worked hard for Loulan, had never felt that kind of closeness.

There is no doubt that when playing the emotional card, he was born to lose...

Fighting, but can't fight; overwhelming others with power, there is no basis...

"My Lady Queen, I suddenly remembered that there are still some puppets that have not been researched and developed. While you were chatting..." An Lushan said quickly.

With this bastard here, his proposal to expand puppet production probably has no soil for development.

Although he was puzzled why this guy didn't deal with himself in the first place, it was always a good thing to be able to survive.

"Your Excellency An Lushan, please wait a moment." Saya stopped him.

The ninja invasion was just an accident. Her original purpose of inviting Naruto-kun was to curb the growth of An Lushan's power.

"I don't know much about the world of ninjas, and I'm not sure whether to expand the production of puppets, so I invited Lord Uzumaki to help me make a judgment." Saya laughed, "Your Excellency An Lushan Look, okay?"

"Ahaha...is that so..." An Lushan smiled, but the smile was forced no matter how you looked at it.

"He is indeed suitable, suitable..."

"You two know each other?" Saya asked in surprise.

Naruto watched this scene expressionlessly, although he didn't know what the woman's purpose was, but just watched quietly.

"I know, I definitely know." Seeing that the matter came to fruition, An Lushan's heart calmed down.

In the worst case, he will die, who is afraid of whom.

"Right, Your Excellency Uzumaki." An Lushan looked at the bastard in front of him, and it was the first time he knew the name of the bastard.

"..." Naruto was speechless, didn't he just coerce him at the beginning, as for such a big resentment?

"If there is anything, please tell me clearly." He said to Saya.

He is not here to play political games.

"The current situation is tense and too much time is wasted, which is not good for anyone."

Saya was taken aback when he heard the words, didn't he understand what he meant?

That's not right, her superficial political methods cannot be used in superficial ways. Can those in power understand it?

After all, An Lushan is Loulan's minister. It would be inappropriate for her to directly limit his authority...

"..." Naruto sighed inwardly when he saw this, so he said he hated playing politics.

If you want to restrict someone, just restrict it directly. You have to go through so many twists and turns...

"Just explain the situation to me."

After hearing this, Saya stopped thinking about roundabout ways and directly stated the dilemma she was facing.

After understanding the reason of the matter, Naruto turned his head and looked at Anlu Mountain beside him.

He finally understood why the chakra on this guy became even weirder than before. His emotions were fused with part of the dragon vein energy.

As Jinjuriki, Naruto immediately understood An Lushan's thoughts.

"Creating yourself into a pseudo-Jinchuuriki, bypassing Saya and directly controlling the dragon's energy, is a genius idea, An Lushan." Naruto praised.

Dragon vein energy is not much weaker than tailed beasts in terms of scale or quality, and more importantly, it has no intelligence.

The reason why Jinchuuriki is a high-risk profession is that a considerable part of the risk comes from the intelligence of the tailed beasts.

A pig can become a sperm if it lives for a long time.

Not to mention the tailed beasts who have been taught by the Sage of Six Paths.

Just like Gaara at the beginning, why didn't he dare to sleep?

It's not because after falling asleep and weakening his will, Shukaku will take advantage of him.

In the beginning, the Nine Lamas were not the same. In order to make him relax his vigilance, he constantly used words to seduce and seduce him, and sacrificed his body in exchange for strength. If it had been another Jinchuuriki whose mind was not yet mature, he might have been deceived and become lame.

Perhaps compared to tailed beasts, dragon veins, an energy body without intelligence, may be more suitable for the renzhuli system.
