"Impossible! I will never agree to such a thing!"
Seeing An Lushan so crazily ambitious, the Queen of Loulan refused without hesitation.
"Heh heh heh, refusing is useless. I have finished creating all my puppets. Originally, I thought if you cooperated, when I unite the ninja world with my puppet army, I might give you the position of Empress.
"It's a pity you're too stupid. In this world, the only ones who can threaten me are you and your daughter, because only you can close the Dragon Vein. As long as you die, I will be invincible."
Seeing the Queen of Loulan reject his proposal, An Lushan approached slowly with a sinister smile on his face.
"An Lushan, what are you doing? I'm telling you, I've invited Konoha ninjas. Someone will come to stop your conspiracy soon."
Seeing An Lushan's killing intent, the Queen of Loulan's expression changed instantly, attempting to scare him with Konoha ninjas.
It didn't matter if she died, but her daughter, Sara, absolutely could not die.
"Konoha? Perhaps in ten years, Konoha will be terrifyingly strong, especially after that Fourth Hokage succeeds. But right now, there is no one in Konoha that I fear."
Thinking of the future Fourth Hokage's terrifying strength, An Lushan felt a wave of guilt. That was an existence that suppressed the four great nations so they couldn't lift their heads.
However, the current Fourth Hokage shouldn't have reached that level... right!
An Lushan was also a bit uncertain.
Sigh, I'm really overthinking. It's impossible for that future Fourth Hokage to be on a mission in the Land of Wind.
"In ten years? What do you mean?"
The Queen of Loulan clearly didn't understand An Lushan's words.
An Lushan didn't explain. He flashed directly to the Queen of Loulan's side, preparing to kill her.
"My dear Queen, you can go to hell now. Don't worry, I will send your daughter down to reunite with you soon."
Saying that, he took out a kunai and stabbed it towards the Queen of Loulan's chest.
"Rasengan."
In the nick of time, a golden flash appeared beside the Queen of Loulan, and Minato slammed a small Rasengan into An Lushan, sending him flying.
"Die, you bastard!"
At the same time, Kushina rushed in from outside and delivered a Monstrous Strength Punch to An Lushan, who had been sent flying by Minato.
"Boom!"
The punch hit An Lushan's face, smashing it to pieces.
"Hmm? A puppet?"
Seeing that An Lushan's face was unusual compared to a normal person, Kushina instantly realized it was a puppet.
"Heh heh heh, that's right. I've turned my own body into a puppet. My unique puppet technique—Human Puppet."
An Lushan introduced his masterpiece while speaking, and his smashed face recovered in a split second, becoming completely intact.
"What... what? He can recover, and so quickly?"
Kushina looked at An Lushan's transformation in shock.
When An Lushan looked at Kushina, she seemed very familiar, but he couldn't recall who she was. This person should be very famous in the future, right?
Forget it, no need to think about that now. Let's deal with the Queen of Loulan and her daughter first; they are my only threats.
Thinking of this, An Lushan turned around, casting a bloodthirsty gaze at the Queen of Loulan and the man beside her... man.
What the fuck! The Fourth Hokage!!!
No, that's not right. Not the future Fourth Hokage, but the Fourth Hokage in his youth.
He doesn't have that unrivaled power of the future yet. Don't panic, don't panic, absolutely cannot panic.
An Lushan forced himself to calm down, but his trembling body revealed his fear of Minato.
"Do you know me? We shouldn't have met."
Seeing An Lushan's reaction, Minato frowned. Did this guy meet me in the future?
Of course, we haven't met, not even in the future.
But I am a person from the future who used the Dragon Vein to travel back in time. Is it strange that I know you?
Dragon Vein... right! I possess the Dragon Vein now. I have an immortal body. Why should I be afraid of the Fourth Hokage, especially the teenage Fourth Hokage?
Thinking of this, An Lushan finally calmed down.
"Perhaps you look familiar. But young man, how about handing over the Queen beside you to me? I can give you a generous reward. Whatever she's paying you, I'll give you ten times that."
An Lushan attempted to solve the problem with money. If it could be solved with money, it was better not to fight.
Beside Minato, the Queen of Loulan panicked upon hearing this and looked at Minato nervously.
"Tch, money means nothing to me. I'm very curious about you. Your Majesty, Queen of Loulan, can you tell me this guy's background?"
Minato ignored An Lushan and asked the Queen of Loulan beside him.
"This guy came here four years ago. Loulan at that time wasn't as glorious as it is today. Back then, he came to me and persuaded me to open the Dragon Vein to bring benefits to the people of Loulan.
"Seeing that he was wholeheartedly for Loulan, I agreed. But I didn't expect that although this guy ostensibly worked for Loulan's construction...
"Secretly, he has been capturing Loulan men to build puppets in his private factory for his ambition to unite the Five Great Nations.
"I only found out about this recently, so just in case, I sent a distress signal to Konoha. Fortunately, you arrived in time."
The Queen of Loulan explained the general situation in detail.
Not only were Kushina and Minato listening seriously, but even An Lushan didn't intervene to stop her.
Unlike Kushina and An Lushan, Minato realized that the current situation had deviated significantly from the original story.
At least in the original story, An Lushan only completed the Ultimate Puppet Body six years after arriving in Loulan, and the Queen of Loulan was dead by then.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would die at this time. However, in the original story, An Lushan hadn't completed the Ultimate Puppet Body, so he abducted Sara to work for him.
Obviously, things were different now. An Lushan had completed the construction of the Ultimate Puppet Body four years ahead of schedule.
The Konoha ninjas tracking An Lushan hadn't appeared either. Perhaps they would only appear two years later?
But Minato wasn't prepared to wait for them to appear before solving this.
