Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

In the dimly lit underground factory.

The Queen of Rouran shuddered, her entire body tensing up, but her expression quickly turned resolute. She slowly stood up, turned around, and looked towards the exit of the spiral staircase.

At the entrance, a gaunt man with a smile that inspired instant disgust stood flanked by two puppets. In that moment, he seemed like the king of the country, while the Queen of Rouran was merely a prisoner.

The Queen of Rouran placed her right hand on her chest, as if encouraging herself. Her eyes were firm, and her voice was loud and clear.

"An Lushan, I am the Queen of this country. Do I need to explain my whereabouts to you?"

"Hehehe!"

An Lushan let out a cold laugh.

"Your Majesty, of course you don't need to explain your whereabouts to this humble subject. However, why did you reseal the Dragon Vein? I believe Your Majesty needs to explain this to me. After all, everything in Rouran now was created by this humble subject and Your Majesty, using my technology and the power of Rouran's Dragon Vein. Without the support of the Dragon Vein's chakra, the entire Rouran will grind to a halt. Your Majesty, you can't be too capricious!"

The Queen of Rouran frowned, her face turning cold.

"Stop deceiving me, An Lushan. I already understand your purpose."

The Queen of Rouran pointed at all the puppets present.

"You're not thinking of using the power of the Dragon Vein to benefit Rouran at all. You just want to use the Dragon Vein and the people of Rouran to create weapons of war. These puppets are the weapons you've created."

"!!!"

After a moment of slight surprise, An Lushan chuckled.

"Indeed, you are not an easy queen to fool. Although I had expected you to find out one day, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Seeing An Lushan admit it so easily, the Queen of Rouran frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

"What, you don't want to continue pretending?"

"No... there's no need anymore!"

Saying this, An Lushan took a few steps forward, startling the Queen of Rouran, who subconsciously retreated a few steps. Seeming to guess something, she mustered her courage and bit her lip.

"An Lushan, are you planning to kill me here? Without me, you won't be able to open the seal here anymore, right?"

An Lushan let out a disdainful chuckle.

"Your Majesty, sometimes you are surprisingly clever, but sometimes you are shockingly stupid. Why do you think that only you can open the seal here?"

"!!!"

The Queen of Rouran was shocked, but then she thought of something and said confidently.

"It's useless. Although Sala has the same power as me, she doesn't know the incantation to undo the seal."

Seeing the Queen's confident appearance, An Lushan couldn't help but want to shatter her self-righteousness, and said with a sinister smile.

"Is that so? In that case, let me tell you another secret, Your Majesty!"

"!!!"

Under the Queen's somewhat surprised gaze, An Lushan revealed the secret hidden within himself.

"My name is not actually An Lushan, but Bai Zu! I am not from this era, but from the future, eighteen years from now!"

"The world eighteen years from now!!!"

Bai Zu's answer directly stunned the Queen.

"That's right. In my era, Rouran had long been destroyed by war. However, I was lucky enough to discover the existence of the Dragon Vein in the ruins, and I found a way to undo the Dragon Vein's seal. Unfortunately, when I was about to undo the seal, I discovered that there was another layer of sealing on the Dragon Vein, which was the Flying Thunder God Kunai of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. This was simply impossible for me to open. Fortunately, by studying this sealing formula, I found another way to undo the seal, which is to use the space-time ninjutsu in the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Kunai and use the power of the Dragon Vein chakra to send me back to the past before the Dragon Vein was sealed. That way, I can completely take the power of the Dragon Vein for myself."

The amount of information in Bai Zu's words was so great that the Queen's mind couldn't process it all at once.

However, she still understood the key points. Bai Zu actually knew the sealing formula to undo the Dragon Vein's seal.

On the other side, Luo Sha, who was eavesdropping, was also a little stunned.

In other words, Bai Zu was able to come to the past not by borrowing the power of the Dragon Vein, but by using the seal in Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai?

If that's the case, then the Dragon Vein chakra wouldn't be so attractive to him.

Bai Zu seemed very happy to see the Queen's disappointed and dejected look, and continued to smile sinisterly.

"I could have solved you long ago. After all, the little girl is easier to control than the smart you. However, some interesting things I discovered made me have to keep you for a while longer."

The Queen of Rouran sensed a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately, it was mercilessly extinguished by Bai Zu.

"It's a pity. I don't intend to explain. Your Majesty, go to another world with such doubts. I will take good care of Sala for you, hehehe!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the arms of the two puppets behind Bai Zu extended sharp blades, flashing with a cold light, and flew towards the Queen of Rouran.

"It's a pity. You won't be able to see the moment when I use the power of the Dragon Vein to rule this land!"

At this moment, the tips of the blades in the Queen of Rouran's eyes were getting bigger and bigger, the cold light was close at hand, and it looked like the Queen of Rouran was about to be pierced through the heart by the double blades.

But suddenly, as if time had stopped, the puppets flying in front of the Queen of Rouran suddenly stopped in mid-air and did not move.

"!!!"

Bai Zu was stunned.

The Queen of Rouran, who originally thought she was dead, was also stunned.

"What's going on?"

Bai Zu was a little confused. He controlled the chakra threads, wanting to control the puppets, but found that the puppets had no reaction at all.

No, there was still a reaction.

The puppets seemed to be rusting, and their joints twisted with difficulty in the air.

"Creak... Creak!"

Just when Bai Zu and the Queen of Rouran were both a little confused, fine sand flowed out from the gaps connecting the puppets, completely attracting the attention of the two in this quiet world.

The Queen of Rouran still didn't understand what was going on, but Bai Zu's eyes were wide open, his face full of horror and anger.

"How... how is this possible, could it be Gaara..."

Bai Zu's gaze immediately looked around, wanting to find the figure in his mind that made him resentful.

"Bastard... Gaara, you monster, get out of here!"

Then, his gaze began to become even more terrified, and his body began to tremble.

Because a nightmare-like figure appeared in his field of vision.

"No... impossible... Lord... Lord Kazekage...."
