The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"Let me think about it..."

Minato gritted his teeth, caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

-----------------

Bang!

Fireworks shot up in bursts, dazzling even in broad daylight.

"My Lady Queen..."

Countless people gathered in the central square, shouting in waves.

"Brother Zechen, why did you want to tell those things to the Fourth Hokage?"

Standing on the connecting bridge between two tall buildings, Hinata couldn't help but ask a question.

"Don't you think it's interesting to tell the people involved about the tragic ending and see if history will change?"

Hinata Sawatatsu looked down at the cheering civilians and replied.

"If the Fourth Hokage really did change history, wouldn't our world undergo unimaginable changes?"

Hinata's index fingers kept clapping together, showing her deep inner turmoil.

"Leaving aside whether things will change, even if history were to change, would the situation be worse than it is now?"

If Minato Namikaze hadn't died, Naruto wouldn't have had such a tragic childhood, and the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been wiped out by Itachi Uchiha...

"Besides, no matter how the world changes, at least you're still by my side, and that's enough, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Hinata Zechen utter such touching words of love, Hinata, who had gone through numerous desensitization reactions, blushed deeply, and white steam rose from her head—something she hadn't done in a long time.

"Brother Zechen..."

Hinata gazed at Hyuga Zechen, then suddenly and proactively tiptoed and gave him a passionate kiss.

After a long while, when she was almost out of breath, Hinata buried her head in Hyuga Sawa's chest, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

In front of everyone, I actually...

If Hinata hadn't been holding Hinata tightly with both hands, she probably would have immediately lost her balance due to her weak legs.

Just then, on a tall building directly in front of the square, a young woman with long, deep red hair, dressed in formal attire, walked onto the balcony and waved to the people below.

"Lady Sara!"

Upon seeing the girl's appearance, the commoners below became even more eager, shouting the queen's name loudly.

"Hinata, get ready. In a moment, that queen is going to fall from the building. Go and save her."

Upon hearing Hinata Zechen's instructions, Hinata didn't ask why. She raised her rosy cheeks, nodded, and then leaped up to choose a suitable spot.

Just as the cheers were at their loudest, a hand reached out from among the many attendants behind the Queen and shoved Sarah hard.

Sarah involuntarily took two steps forward, but before she could even cry out, the spot beneath her feet, along with the stone railing in front of her, suddenly shattered, and she plummeted from a height of more than five stories.

Hinata, who was prepared, leaped up from the floor below, grabbed Queen Sara's arm with both hands, and used blue chakra to slide down the wall for a distance, slowing her fall before flipping over and landing in the forest below.

This scene clearly occurred in full view of everyone, but the civilians present seemed not to see anything and continued to cheer.

Having witnessed all of this, Hinata Zechen's lips curled slightly, he shook his head slightly, and then disappeared in a flash.

"Thank you."

Inside the forest, Sarah, who was still in shock, reflexively thanked them, displaying her exceptional composure.

"You're welcome. But be careful, what just happened was definitely not an accident."

Hinata didn't see clearly who pushed Sara, but the coincidental collapse of the balcony and railings clearly indicated that it was premeditated.

"My advisor will definitely find out who did it."

Sarah nodded; she deeply resented the mastermind behind it all.

"What if all of this was done by your regent?"

Hinata Zetsu appeared beside Hinata and spoke.

Chapter 135 Puppet Army VS Puppet Army

"Impossible! An Lushan is absolutely innocent!"

Sarah twisted her head frantically, scoffing at Hinata Zechen's words.

"Ha, no wonder your people call you the Marionette Princess. Can't you take your head out of your heel and use it just once?"

Hinata Sawatatsu's words were full of mockery.

"You're talking nonsense! My people would never say that!"

Sarah glared angrily, then suddenly took off running, quickly heading out of the woods.

"Brother Zechen, she's a queen, after all. Isn't it a bit much for you to insult her like that..."

Hinata felt a pang of pity when she saw tears welling up in Sara's eyes.

"Only by breaking through the information cocoon that Centipede built for her can she understand the cruelty of this world, right?"

Hinata Zetsu followed Sara at a leisurely pace, and they soon emerged from the woods.

"Do you see that? This grand parade was arranged and initiated by An Lushan. He and his people used this event to encourage me, who was extremely saddened by the sudden death of my mother."

Looking at the Loulan civilians who were still crowding the square waving and cheering, Sarah immediately found the most compelling evidence and shouted loudly at Hinata Zechen.

"If they were really cheering for you, how could they have continued cheering after witnessing you fall from the building? They would have scattered long ago, wouldn't they?"

Hinata Sawatatsu's words gradually eroded the confidence on Sara's face.

"And are they really cheering for you?"

Following Hinata Zechen's direction, Sarah immediately witnessed a scene that she could hardly believe.

A puppet dressed exactly like her slowly emerged from another tower and waved to the crowd below.

"What...what happened?"

Sarah took a few steps forward, rubbed her eyes hard, and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"And are they truly your people?"

Chakra surged forth, enveloping Hyuga Zechen's palm. With a casual upward flick of his wrist, a chakra blade condensed and swept across the sky.

In an instant, all the figures who had just been waving and cheering collapsed to the ground, and the bustling square became deathly silent, with not a sound to be heard.

"How could this be..."

Sarah cautiously approached and immediately saw that those so-called subjects were all wooden puppets with empty eyes and blank expressions.

"Do you want to see where your people are?"

Hinata Sawatatsu's voice rang in Sara's ears once again.

He wasn't Naruto Uzumaki, choosing to offer emotional value in the gentlest way, nor did he possess Naruto's strong talent for verbal sparring. Instead, he directly and brutally tore apart the Truman Show surrounding the Queen of Loulan.

Ignoring whether Sara agreed or not, Hyuga Zechen grabbed both women's arms with his hands, opened a spatial portal, and stepped out to reach the deepest part of the earth, where the dragon vein chakra was most concentrated.

It was a huge factory with pipes everywhere and white steam billowing out. Countless ragged Loulan commoner men, their legs shackled, were struggling to push a huge mechanical device. If they slowed down even slightly, they would be whipped by the puppets next to them.

With each lap forward, the pipes of the giant mechanical device would spew out large amounts of white smoke, and then a batch of puppet soldier parts would be moved outside via conveyor belts to another factory for assembly.

From another perspective, this centipede can be considered a talent. Through the power of the dragon vein chakra, it has brought about such earth-shattering changes to the entire Loulan in just a few years. There are high-rise buildings with dozens of floors and automatic elevators, which have already touched the edge of a technological society.

The only problem is that their vision and knowledge are too shallow; they have never witnessed the strength of the ninja world's powerful figures.

No matter how many of these puppet soldiers there are, they are nothing but scrap metal in the face of a true powerhouse. Forget conquering the entire ninja world; the mere presence of Sunagakure is an insurmountable obstacle for him.

"I must stop him and save these poor people."

After witnessing the tragic plight of the common people of Loulan, Sarah demonstrated the responsibility of a queen.

"Can you take me there? Please, Konoha ninjas."

After looking around, Sarah, as the Queen of Loulan, inherited the ability to communicate with the dragon veins, just like her mother, and quickly discovered the point where the dragon vein chakra flowed into the factory.

Hinata, who was standing nearby, had already shown a look of reluctance in her eyes. After obtaining Hyuga Zechen's consent, she took Sara and leaped up, landing in the designated position in a few bounds.

"In the name of the Queen, I command you to sever the torrent of the dragon veins and suppress your power! So be it!"

Sarah placed her hands on the dragon vein nodes, and circles of purple light waves spread out in all directions, with dense purple patterns appearing on the ground.

In an instant, the entire factory seemed to be put on pause; the roaring machines, the conveyor belts that transported goods, and the puppets that supervised and patrolled all stopped operating.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing in a place like this?"

The centipede was faster than expected, and it appeared on the platform in mid-air almost as soon as Sarah stood up.

Compared to her emaciated appearance when they first met, Bai Zu has gained a lot of weight, and her overall demeanor has changed dramatically.

Chakra threads extended from his body, and whether they were unassembled puppet parts or fallen puppet soldiers, they all stood up and surrounded him.

"I have stopped the flow of the dragon veins, and I will not allow you to use this power for the sake of war! As the queen, I command you to stop the development of puppet soldiers and immediately release the people who are serving hard labor."

Sarah spoke with righteous indignation, clearly still harboring unrealistic fantasies.

"So you already know so much. Then I can't let you live. Anyway, a puppet will suffice to replace you."

A cold smile appeared on Centipede's lips. With a wave of his hand, the nearby puppet soldiers extended sharp blades.

"Looks like you're doing quite well, Centipede."

Just then, Hinata Sawa interrupted their conversation.

"After all, we haven't seen each other for six years, and I'm no longer the centipede you chased to the point of having nowhere to run."

Upon seeing Hinata Sawatatsu's appearance, Hyakusoku was not surprised but rather delighted, already plotting in his heart how to avenge the past grievances.

Six years?

Does this mean that even if people arrive here through the same spacetime tunnel, the flow of time will still differ?

Hinata Sawatatsu has gained some new insights into the properties of space and time.

"The sudden death of the previous Loulan Queen was probably also your doing, wasn't it?"

Hinata Sawatatsu's words made Sara, who had been hanging her head in dejection, look up again and stare intently at Centipede.
