I teach kendo in the ninja world

"Is this the oasis?"

After entering Loulan's territory, Xie looked up at the city full of green trees and tall towers, and fell into silence.

"Yes, how about it? How does the environment compare with Sunagakure Village?"

Araki asked with a smile.

"..."

Xie has nothing to say. Compared with this place, Sand Hidden Village can only be described with one word - soil.

It's not that the architectural style is not fashionable enough, but it's just a literal meaning - the overall architectural style of Sand Hidden Village is earthy yellow, and it is constantly windy and sandy all year round. Whether you look at it from a distance or up close, the dusty atmosphere is alluring. First impression.

Compared with the green fountain here in Loulan, it can be said to be terrible.

We all make a living in the desert, so why are there such big differences?

"How is this possible?"

The Scorpion of Red Sand watched while walking, but he was puzzled, "There is actually a place with such a good natural environment in the Kingdom of Wind! Even if there is no such large chakra source as you mentioned, I am afraid that the people of Sand Hidden Village I won’t let this place go. By the way, what about those people who came in early? Where are they? "

"Don't worry, this is what we are looking for~"

Araki pointed to Kana next to her, who had her eyes closed and her hands in hand seals, and signaled Xie to stay calm.

Although the environment of Loulan Ancient City is good, its area is not comparable to that of the Five Great Ninja Villages. With Kana's [Kagura Heart's Eye] perception, it is more than enough to cover the entire city.

Sure enough, after a moment, Chana opened her eyes: "Found it!"

"Let's go! Maybe we will meet some interesting people~"

The excitement in Araki's tone was clearly visible.

……

……

Central Square.

This is the center of the entire ancient city of Loulan, and the tower where the Queen of Loulan lives, who has ruled here for generations, stands here.

At this moment, there seemed to be some kind of celebration going on here. A large number of people gathered here, cheering and cheering for Queen Sarah who was revealed on the tower.

The ninjas of Sunagakure and Konoha who came in first also gathered here.

"Queen... It seems that this place is also a country."

Aburame Shiwei pushed up her sunglasses slightly, "Setsuna, do you see where the source of chakra is?"

"Right below that tower."

Hinata Setsuna replied, "And..."

His voice seemed hesitant.

"And what?"

"The entire city is covered with chakra pipes and chakra lines."

Hinata instantly turned her face with bulging veins, "Most of those cheering are not real humans, but puppets controlled by chakra wires!"

"puppet?"

Aburame Zhi was slightly startled, "Has Sunagakure Village already succeeded? No, this is impossible."

He shook his head, "They can't move so fast! But there must be a powerful puppet master here. It wouldn't be good if people from Sunagakure Village get in touch first. We must act as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The ninjas of Sand Hidden Village were equally sensitive to chakra lines, and they quickly discovered the fishy nature of this city.

But compared to Konoha's more moderate approach, their actions were much simpler and rougher.

In the Queen's Tower.

Queen Sarah, who had just finished her speech, returned to her palace. Before she had time to rest, three uninvited guests broke in.

"Who are you?!"

The young queen was obviously a little panicked, "Here comes someone! Where is the minister?"

"Queen, don't be nervous, we are from Sunagakure Village and we are not bad people."

Shasu explained, "We are here to investigate the large chakra source here. Do you know what it is?"

"Large chakra source?"

Sara was a little confused, "Do you mean the dragon vein?"

"Dragon Vein? Is that the original name..."

Sha Su nodded, "Yes, we are here just for this so-called dragon vein. Can you tell us some more detailed information?"

"This……"

Sara looked hesitant, but before he could refuse, another rather rough voice came from outside.

"That's not okay! The energy of the dragon vein belongs to me!"

"Minister An Lushan, you are finally here!"

Queen Sarah immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this voice, as if she had found someone to support her.

"Minister?"

Sha Su looked back at the place where the sound came from, and saw a middle-aged man with a beard and a rather wealthy figure walking in from the door in a hurry.

"The ninjas of Sunagakure... dare to covet my Loulan's dragon veins, die!"

The man known as An Lushan didn't say much nonsense after he came in. He waved his hand, and five machine puppets jumped out from the curtain of the palace and rushed towards the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village.

"Are you also a puppet master? And this amount..."

The three people in Shasu said in shock while avoiding the attack of the puppet.

Although puppetry is not entirely unique to Sand Hidden Village, it is their signature skill. Although Shasu himself is not a puppet master, he is confident enough to understand this profession.

A puppet master's main means of attack and defense is his puppets, so the most intuitive criterion for judging their ability is the number of puppets they can control at the same time.

Before the appearance of the Red Sand Scorpion, the puppet master who stood at the top of Sand Hidden Village was Elder Chiyo. She inherited the unique skill of the first generation puppet master Monzaemon - [White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten People].As the name suggests, it can control ten puppets at the same time to fight.

Apart from her, in Sand Hidden Village, anyone who can control three puppets at the same time can be considered an elite puppet master.

Five of them are even rarer.

But this guy named An Lushan...

"Who the hell are you?! There's no way I haven't heard of a puppet master of your level!"

Sha Su jumped forward, dodging the energy beam fired by the puppet in a rather embarrassing manner, and asked loudly.

"who am I?"

An Lushan seemed to enjoy watching the three people in Shayin Village hiding in embarrassment. He laughed and said, "I am just an unknown little person. How could a big shot like you notice me before? "

"Nobody? Bah!"

Sha Sui gasped, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Tell me, what is your relationship with the Red Sand Scorpion? Is he hiding here too?"

If Elder Chiyo can control ten puppets at the same time, it can be understood as controlling one with one finger, as long as the fingers are flexible enough.So Scorpion's ability to control his puppet army on the battlefield is something even most puppet masters can't understand, let alone an outsider like Sha Su.

Therefore, if you encounter something that you cannot understand in terms of puppetry, you will most likely be right to blame it on the Red Sand Scorpion.

"Red Sand Scorpion?"

An Lushan laughed wildly and said, "That traitorous ninja is actually here too?"

"Why, aren't you his subordinate?"

Shasu frowned, feeling that things seemed different from what he imagined.

"Subordinate? Is he worthy?"

An Lushan spat, opened his hands, and made a gesture of embracing everything, "I am the one who wants to rule the world!"

At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from the window at the top of the palace.

"Rule the world? Just rely on your crappy puppetry?"

A red-haired young man stood on the window eaves, his eyes lowered, looking down at everyone present.
