Naruto: They are all reborn

Chapter 42: The Innate Holy Body of Earth and Wood
Naruto Uzumaki placed his hand on the puppet, and light blue chakra flowed out from his hand, extending along the chakra lines on the puppet, forming a blue spider web above the "crowd".

Shi Xu's eyes lit up, and he praised, "The chakra lines extend from those pipes, and these pipes are everywhere in Loulan. Those puppet armies are also active because of them."

The entire Loulan was like a swarm of bees... Wait, isn’t this the Zerg in StarCraft?

The Zerg's expansion relies on the fungal creep, and the puppets' control relies on these pipes. An Lushan, hiding behind the scenes and controlling these puppets, is like a player sitting in front of a computer. If we can create more types of puppets in the future, and use this technology to unite them...

"This technique of Centipede is not uncommon. In your... No, I said the wrong thing." Naruto wanted to say something, but remembered Minato's advice and held back.

Diagonally across from him, Kakashi cast a puzzled look at him: "Who is Baizu?"

"Bai Zu is An Lushan's real name. My mission is to kill him."

Hearing this, Kakashi couldn't help but be surprised: "According to the intelligence, An Lushan came to Loulan six years ago. How old were you six years ago?"

Naruto clenched his fists, "Sorry, the mission needs to be kept secret."

At this moment, Shi Xu, who had been pondering the feasibility of "Zerg technology," suddenly asked, "How did An Lushan manage to control so many puppets at the same time? And... where does the puppets get their energy from?"

"The Dragon Vein." Sarah finally made her decision. "The Dragon Vein is hidden deep beneath Loulan, possessing nearly infinite chakra. I can close it. In exchange, you must help me rescue my people from An Lushan."

"it is good."

Seeing Tokichi's answer so straightforwardly, Naruto's eyes became a little complicated.

As his enemy, Naruto actually knows Tokihiro very well, which is why he appears here to help.

Sarah asked again, "Do you have any ideas about where we should go to find our people?"

At this moment, Kakashi raised his hand and said, "I know where it is. When I was looking for Queen Sarah, I happened to meet a living person in the underground of Loulan. It was he who told me that the queen was in the highest tower."

"Great!" Sarah came forward and pulled him, shouting anxiously, "Take me there quickly. I haven't seen them for a long time."

Kakashi shook her hand off, glanced around, walked to a manhole cover and lifted it.

"Let's go and look inside."

Since the dragon vein is located deep underground in Loulan, the entire underground of Loulan has been hollowed out by An Lushan and made into a high tower structure similar to the above-ground part, and there is also a lighting system powered by the dragon vein chakra.

"This An Lushan is simply a civil engineering superman."

This was the nth time that Shi Xu had admired him. According to what Naruto had just said, this An Lushan was probably a man of the future. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely dig him over to work for him.

Looking at his appearance, Naruto's face gradually became ugly. Fortunately, he was walking at the end of the team and did not attract attention.

Soon, Kakashi stopped in front of a door and knocked rhythmically a few times.

After a while, the door opened, revealing a woman in a black veil. She looked at Kakashi warily, her eyes sweeping behind him. When she saw Sarah surrounded, she immediately shouted through the door.

"Everyone come here quickly, Queen Sarah is really here!"

People gathered around chattering. Each of them was wearing a black veil, and some of them were holding farm tools as weapons.

Shi Xu looked at them and asked, "Why are there only women and children? Where are the men?"

The leading woman replied, "That's exactly what we're going to ask Queen Sarah."

"Me?" Sarah was stunned for a moment. "I... I don't know either. What happened?" "I'm so sorry. I'm Masako." The woman in the lead took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face.

"Our family was taken away one morning, reportedly on Queen Sarah's orders. I thought they would be back soon, but there's been no news for several days. We wanted to see Queen Sarah, but those puppet machines couldn't understand us and simply blocked us out."

"But... I have never given such an order." Sarah's heart ached. It was all her responsibility that her people became like this. She had failed her mother's trust.

Shi Xu thought for a moment: "An Lushan's goal is to rule the world, and to do that he needs soldiers, and his soldiers are those puppets. If I'm not mistaken, all the men were captured by An Lushan to make puppets."

Sarah quickly said, "Making those war weapons requires a huge amount of energy. I can follow those pipes to find where the dragon vein chakra is concentrated."

"There is no time to lose, let's act quickly."

"By the way," Shixu suddenly stopped and looked back at Masako, "There might be a fight next. You should quickly evacuate with the remaining people, preferably outside of Loulan."

Masako nodded: "I understand. I'll leave my family in your care."

Everyone returned to the ground, looking at the dense, crisscrossing pipes. Only Sarah could feel the flow of the dragon vein chakra inside.

After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and ran in a certain direction: "This way."

Following behind her, it was visible to the naked eye that the number and arrangement of the pipes gradually became simpler, and finally converged into a huge pipe inserted into the ground.

Kakashi searched around and pointed to a vent near the giant pipe and said, "We should be able to go down there."

He pulled out his kunai, removed the iron net that secured the vent, and then jumped in first.

After a while, Kakashi's voice came from the darkness of the vent: "It's safe down there."

Naruto then said, "You take Queen Sarah down first, I will cover the rear."

"it is good."

Shi Xu didn't hesitate, he jumped in holding Sarah, walked forward for a distance along the ventilation duct, and soon found the missing men.

They were shackled and worked on the puppet-making assembly line, with puppet overseers holding machetes beside them.

"Damn An Lushan!"

At this moment, Sarah completely abandoned her fantasy about An Lushan, and her anger made her temporarily forget her self-blame.

"What do we do next?"

Sarah pointed to the bottom of the arsenal and said, "Take me to the altar. I can cut off the dragon vein there."

"it is good."

No nonsense, the three of them are all highly powerful ninjas, and it is not difficult for them to avoid the patrols of the puppets.

But when they arrived at the altar, An Lushan came out from a corner, apparently having been waiting for a long time.

"Nice to meet you again, Namikaze Naruto. And... my boss, Uzumaki Toki."
