Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

"Yes, teacher!!" Kakashi replied.

This is the most likely location where the huge puppet entered Konoha after the Anbu investigated.

The place where this puppet entered was originally an entrance, which was used as an exit for ninjas to use when they went out on missions.

But later, due to a number of unexpected events, problems arose at this entrance.

The entrance was sealed by erupting underground magma.

It can no longer be used as an entrance for ordinary people to enter or leave the village.

So this entrance was abandoned by the village.

The village also opened a new exit at a new location, which is now the Konoha Gate.

"Brother Minato, it's not one, but two!" Okamoto Dousuke added.

"Two?" Namikaze Minato was stunned when he heard what Okamoto Dousuke said.

Then Namikaze Minato looked at Uzumaki Kushina who sat back on the sofa.

"Yes! At the last moment a smaller puppet rushed out." Feeling Minato Namikaze's gaze, Uzumaki Kushina nodded and said.

"Is that so?" After hearing what Okamoto Dousuke and Uzumaki Kushina said, Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, that's right!" Okamoto Dousuke nodded.

And the slightly smaller puppet blocked it for him at the last moment.

Although this action was useless, Okamoto Dousuke could still feel the kindness of the puppet.

Including the piece of letter that the little puppet took out from its head at the last moment.

And the few words I only had time to see clearly at a quick glance.

"So what are the origins of these puppets?" Namikaze Minato looked at Kakashi.

"I didn't find any clues from the puppet." Kakashi shook his head.

The bomb carried by the puppet was too powerful.

The puppet was directly burned into a pile of charcoal.

There is no useful value at all.

"If it's the origin of those puppets, I have a clue!!" A voice came from the door of the Hokage's office.

Namikaze Minato, Kakashi, Uzumaki Kushina and Okamoto Dousuke all looked towards the door.

As the words fell, an old man in a white robe walked in from the door.

Following behind him were two people, a man and a woman, of similar age.

"Lord Hokage!" Minato Namikaze spoke immediately when he saw the person coming.

"The Third Hokage-sama!!"

"Third-generation master!!"

Okamoto Dousuke and Kakashi also immediately saluted the visitor.

On the other side, Uzumaki Kushina, who was originally sitting on the sofa, also stood up immediately and saluted the Third Hokage.

"Okay, okay! I am no longer the Hokage!!" The Third Hokage waved his hand and said to everyone present.

After saying this, the Third Hokage looked at Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, why didn't you inform me of such an important matter!" The Third Hokage said to Minato Namikaze in a tone with a hint of blame.

"Don't think that just because I'm no longer the current Hokage, the comfort of the village has nothing to do with me. You know, I'm also an indispensable member of Konoha!!" said the Third Hokage righteously.

"Yes, I didn't think it through!!" Minato first admitted that his actions were not well considered.

Then he added: "Because it's too late now, and there haven't been too many casualties in the village, so I plan to notify you tomorrow!!"

Hear the conversation between Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage.

Okamoto Dousuke couldn't help but want to laugh.

A Hokage like Minato Namikaze, who rose from ordinary people, would definitely not be willing to be just a puppet of the Third Hokage.

That is why the influence of the Third Hokage is downplayed in various meetings nowadays.

What happened today is the best proof of this.

Even though the village was attacked, Namikaze Minato did not inform the Third Hokage, Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En and other Konoha advisers.

The Third Hokage also discovered this.

The Third Hokage's words just now seemed to be expressing his concern for the village.

In fact, it also means to let Minato Namikaze see Konoha clearly.

As long as you listen carefully, you can hear the meaning of the Third Hokage's words: Although I have retired, what I say in the village is still effective.

And the purpose of the Third Hokage bringing Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En with him is self-evident.

Aren't you called Konoha Consultant?

I brought it directly to you.

As soon as Minato finished speaking, Utane Koharu immediately said to Mitomon En beside him: "I never thought that we old guys would have a day to show our remaining energy."

"Indeed!" Mizuto Menyan nodded and responded.

"I don't know, what is that puppet?" Seeing Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu singing the same tune.

Minato Namikaze could only ask.

To a certain extent, Minato Namikaze's words this time also represented his submission to the old political forces of Konoha.

After hearing Namikaze Minato's question, Mitomon En didn't keep it a secret any longer.

They just wanted Minato Namikaze to still recognize the status of them, the older generation, in Konoha.

He also did not intend to break off relations with the Fourth Hokage.

Mitomon Yan directly narrated: "Ten years ago, there was a country that was also good at using puppetry!"

"That country is located in the Kingdom of Wind. In a desert!!"

After Mitomon En finished speaking, Utatane Koharu immediately added: "Although that country is located within the territory of the Wind Country, it is completely independent of the rule of the Wind Country."

"That country is Loulan, also known as the Desert City!!"

The Third Hokage took over what Utatane Koharu said: "Loulan once established trade with Konoha, and is also an ally of Konoha!!"

"Until nearly ten years ago, an earthquake caused the prosperous Loulan to disappear overnight!"

The Third Hokage said in a regretful tone: "Some people say that Loulan was buried directly in the desert after that incident."

"Konoha also sent out ninjas before, but after the ninjas arrived, only ruins were left of the once prosperous city-state!!" When the Third Hokage said this, his tone was filled with regret.

It seemed as if he was regretting his former ally.

"Is that puppet from Loulan?" asked Minato Namikaze.

"Although I'm not sure, Loulan was famous in the ninja world for his puppetry!" explained the Third Hokage.

"And it's a puppetry technique that is completely different from the Sand Village's!!" the Third Hokage added again.

Okamoto Dousuke, who had been listening quietly at the side, immediately recalled the country with dragon veins when he heard the story of the Third Hokage.

Combined with the piece of paper that the short puppet wanted to hand him.

All clues point to the country that disappeared in the history of the ninja world.

Loulan!!!
