Just when he thought he was going to die, the two puppets seemed to lose their power and fell directly outside the passage.

"so close……"

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but pat his chest.

I almost died just now...

Chapter 86 You Can't Control It

"Obito-nii-san, are you alright?"

Uchiha Shisui ran over, looking at Uchiha Obito with some nervousness.

Obito Uchiha felt he had lost face, but he tried to salvage the situation: "Actually, I was just testing them on purpose. I had already seen through the weaknesses of these puppets."

Uchiha Shisui asked in surprise, "What weakness?"

Obito Uchiha was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was thinking about how to answer, Kakashi Hatake said in a deep voice, "It seems that this place can isolate the power that controls these two puppets."

"It's not as simple as we imagined. We must be more careful in the future."

Obito Uchiha pointed at Kakashi: "Kakashi, you just love to show off. I was just about to say those things."

Kakashi Hatake rolled his eyes and walked back the way he came.

"Brother Yuzuru, we found a woman, but she got away."

"Two more puppets attacked us. Could this be the work of Sunagakure ninjas?"

In the entire ninja world, only the ninjas of Sunagakure enjoy controlling puppets.

Uchiha Yuzuru nodded: "Very likely."

Such opportunities are rare, so it's good to let Kakashi, Obito, and Shisui take this chance to gain some experience.

He can make his people rich and sensitive, but he must never raise them to be ignorant and mentally challenged.

As the three were talking, three more puppets wielding sharp blades charged towards them.

Uchiha Yuzuru frowned, silently stepped back, and shielded the three of them in front of him.

Kakashi Hatake was the first to draw his short sword and charge forward, followed closely by Obito Uchiha, and Shisui Uchiha also activated his Sharingan.

The puppets aren't fast; their only troublesome feature is their ability to constantly revive.

Therefore, it was relatively easy for Kakashi Hatake and his two companions to deal with the situation.

“Obito-nii, Kakashi-senpai, these puppets are controlled by chakra threads. We need to cut these threads and finish this quickly.”

In his Sharingan, each puppet had several chakra threads connected to the intricate network of pipes in mid-air.

After Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and unleashed a Fire Release technique.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

The fireball instantly engulfed the puppet.

Upon hearing his words, Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha each unleashed their own techniques.

"Thunder Release Chidori!"

"Spiral pills!"

After quickly destroying the three puppets in front of him, Kakashi Hatake, under the command of Shisui Uchiha, imbued the Fuma Shuriken with chakra and threw it into the air.

This time, the three puppet fragments remained silent.

"Huhuhu..."

Obito and his two companions were slightly out of breath.

Encountering a puppet capable of continuous resurrection on their first mission caught them somewhat off guard.

"Kakashi, Obito, Shisui, try not to waste your chakra when dealing with this kind of thing."

"Furthermore..." Uchiha Yuzuru summarized the battle the three had just fought, "When fighting puppets, the first thing you should think of is to cut the chakra threads connecting them."

"understood."

Just then, cheers erupted from not far away.

Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and the other two exchanged a glance and immediately headed towards the direction from which the sound came.

"I was wondering why I couldn't see anyone. Were they all here?"

Looking at the crowd gathered not far away, Uchiha Obito, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Cannons fired in unison, and floats paraded through the streets.

Various banners and ribbons fluttered in the wind.

Thousands of people stood on the street, dressed in neat clothes.

They tilted their heads back, raised their hands, and cheered enthusiastically.

"My Queen!"

"My Queen!"

"My Queen!"

Following the gaze of the crowd, Obito Uchiha and his companions looked up and saw a woman wearing a crown and a gorgeous long dress walking out from the window of the tallest and largest tower, accompanied by two puppets.

Upon seeing the woman, the crowd cheered even louder.

The woman smiled and waved to the people below.

"So she was the queen..."

"She must know a lot about the Loulan Kingdom, right?"

Obito Uchiha suggested, "Let's go ask her first."

Uchiha Shisui and Hatake Kakashi nodded in agreement with Uchiha Obito's idea.

Just then, the woman on top of the tower suddenly screamed, and then the windowsill shattered, and the woman fell straight down from a height of 100 meters.

Obito Uchiha immediately got up, preparing to rescue the woman.

However, he was pressed down on the shoulder by Uchiha Yuzuru.

“Obito, you’re still too young. You can’t handle this kind of thing, so leave it to me.”

As soon as Uchiha Yuzuru finished speaking, his body disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already holding the Loulan Queen in his arms in mid-air.

After landing safely, Uchiha Yuzuru looked at the woman in his arms and asked, "Are you alright?"

Upon hearing the voice, the woman opened her eyes, and then her mouth involuntarily opened wide: "So...so handsome..."

"Huh?" Yuzuru Uchiha didn't expect the woman's first words to be like this, and could only say helplessly, "Actually, once you spend more time with me, you'll realize that being handsome is just the least noticeable thing about me."

The woman came to her senses at this moment. She saw herself being carried in the arms of a strange man in a princess carry. Coupled with the words she had just instinctively uttered, she was so embarrassed and angry that she raised her hand to hit him.

"You rude scoundrel!"

Uchiha Yuzuru suddenly grabbed the woman's smooth, white wrist and said unhappily, "Is this how you repay your savior?"

The woman then remembered that she had just fallen from the tower and almost lost her life.

"Then I should thank you first," the woman said, somewhat naively. "Thank you for saving me."

Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head nonchalantly and asked, feigning curiosity, "It's nothing. What's your name?"

"Sara." Facing Uchiha Yuzuru's handsome face so close to hers, Sara lowered her head shyly. "Could you... could you put me down first?"

"This... is a little not good."

"Oh my god, why didn't you say so sooner?" Uchiha Yuzuru said, as if he had just discovered it, and put Sara on the ground.

Sarah snorted in anger.

While the two were talking, Obito Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake also arrived.

Seeing that Uchiha Yuzuru had rescued Sara, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Amid Sara's gasps, Uchiha Yuzuru picked her up again and rushed towards the dilapidated tower where Sara had first been found.

That place can isolate the power of the dragon vein, so you won't be disturbed by centipedes when you talk there.

Chapter 87 The people who cheer for you are all puppets.

Inside the abandoned tower.

Sara looked at Uchiha Yuzuru, Uchiha Obito, and the others and asked, "Who are you, and why have you come to our Loulan?"

Obito Uchiha immediately replied, "We are ninjas from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village). We have come here on your behalf."

“A commission?” Sarah asked, puzzled. “But I didn’t issue any commissions to you.”

Obito Uchiha scratched his head: "I don't know about that. Our mission is to investigate the cause of death of the former queen and the mysterious disappearance of the people of Loulan."

Because Sara was the new queen of Loulan, Obito Uchiha did not conceal the contents of the mission.

"By the way, how did you suddenly fall from the tower?"

Sarah recalled for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I felt someone push me, and then the windowsill suddenly shattered."

"That's it!" Obito Uchiha exclaimed excitedly. "Whoever was behind you back then is the murderer who killed the Queen of Loulan and caused the disappearance of the people of Loulan!"

To Obito's surprise, Sara's face darkened after hearing his analysis: "Impossible. An Lushan has always been dedicated to Loulan, and my mother trusts him very much."

"Without An Lushan, Loulan would not be what it is today."

"And as you just saw, the people of Loulan were cheering for me, which is nothing like what you said."

Seeing that Sara didn't believe him, Obito Uchiha said with dissatisfaction, "Then how do you explain our request? And... you just said it yourself, didn't you? Someone pushed you off the tower."

Sarah stood up and said coldly, "Even if you say that, I don't trust you. I will go to An Lushan myself and ask him the truth."

After saying that, Sarah ran away.

Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Shisui Uchiha were all dumbfounded.

Why is this woman so stubborn?

Only Uchiha Yuzuru was not surprised by this result.

In Sara's eyes, An Lushan was a meritorious official of the Loulan Kingdom, who had always devoted himself to the development of Loulan.

These uninvited guests who suddenly appeared are not trustworthy.

"Brother Yuzuru, what should we do now?"

Seeing the questioning looks from Obito and the others, Yuzuru shrugged: "You can decide for yourselves."

Kakashi Hatake said in a deep voice, "Obito, Shisui, let's follow her. She will definitely go to find An Lushan."

After the three finished speaking, they quietly followed in the direction Sarah had left.

"Hmph! These guys from Kumogakure are utterly incomprehensible. An Lushan is definitely not the kind of person they're talking about."

Sarah muttered to herself as she hurried down the corridor.

Suddenly, the door to a room in the corridor opened, and Sarah was pulled inside without warning.

The room was dark, and dozens of masked men in black stared menacingly at Sarah: "Where are our family members being held?"

Sarah was somewhat flustered and asked, puzzled, "What family?"

"As expected of the puppet princess, you know nothing!"

The man in black sighed in disappointment and silently put down his weapon.

Just then, the door was kicked open from the outside: "Release Queen Sarah!"

Obito Uchiha burst in with a shout, followed closely by Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake.

Upon seeing the cold glint of the kunai and daggers, dozens of masked men in black immediately crouched down, covering their heads: "Don't kill us, we mean no harm."

The lights were turned on, and Sarah was able to see clearly.
