Awakening a substitute in Naruto World

Time soon came to the second day.

In this desert, even the morning sun is so hot!It just makes people miserable!

And in the desert, there were four people walking in it. They were all wearing uniform robes and masks with different expressions on their faces...

There are blue ghost patterns with green faces and fangs, colorful fire emblem patterns, patterns with three scratches, and... the weirdest-looking white mocking face pattern!

This group of people is none other than Kongqiu Yimu!

After agreeing to Scorpion's proposal to join the organization last night, they didn't stay in the photo space for long. After a while, they were sent out by Shinmi Naze who came back!

Although Nase Shinmei's appearance was seen by Scorpion, as long as the "instruction" DISC placed by Kuugaoka Kazuki is still there, he will not tell the truth!

Early the next morning, Kuqiu Kazuki and his party set out to look for Loulan, and Naze Shinmei also used her power to go home as early as last night.

……

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty the Chief! Where are we going now?"

At this time, the man wearing the scratch-patterned mask spoke. This man was Scorpion.He asked the man in the crowd with a mocking mask.This person is also a tree in the sky!

"Loulan Kingdom! The purpose of this visit is for the dragon veins there!"

Kongqiu Yimu replied.

"Loulan Country... is said to be a country, but it is just a larger town at best! As far as I know, its national power has been declining over the years! Nowadays, the people there are basically hungry!"

When Xie heard the word "Loulan Country", he replied with some disdain.

"Actually, I'm also curious. Although the monarch there is a woman, she seems to be quite shrewd. How could he let that country become what the rumors say? Xie, as a person from the Kingdom of Wind, you should know better than me, right?"

Kongqiu Yimu asked Xie beside him.

"What do you need to know about this? A palm-sized place like theirs will self-destruct sooner or later without the support of trade, farming, and military affairs!"

Scorpio answered almost without thinking.As a person from the Kingdom of Wind, he naturally knows what kind of place Loulan is than Kongqiu Yimu and the others.

"It seems that you also know something about national affairs!"

Kongqiu Yimu said teasingly.

"Anyone should know something about it, right? Haha... That country has something as powerful as the Dragon Vein but no one wants to use it. It's strange that it doesn't decline!"

Xie He said with a smile.

"Has no one ever touched such a powerful thing?" Kongqiu Yimu asked curiously.

"That kind of thing needs Queen Loulan's spell to control it, and now that it has the seal imposed by the Fourth Hokage, no one will try to take advantage of it!

But... there is actually a guy in my village who is interested in that thing!His name is Baizu!A puppet master like me! "

"Baizu...what do you think of this person?"

"Hmph! He's just a funny guy! All the puppet skills he has mastered are useless! To put it bluntly, it's just bullshit! He still can't figure out what I could learn when I was a child!"

Thinking back to that ridiculous guy, Xie couldn't help but smile. That guy was of the same generation as him. Although he was a few years older than him, he was still better at puppetry!

"Isn't that guy trying to use dragon veins to transform puppetry?"

Kongqiu Yimu asked tentatively. Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to ask.

"As your Excellency said! But... with his strength, let him practice for another ten years before he considers these things!"

Scorpion replied.

"You are so arrogant!"

Kongqiu Yimu said with a chuckle.At this moment, he suddenly felt that Scorpion was a god at knowing things!According to the timeline, it really took the man named Bai Zu more than ten years before he planned to take away the dragon's veins!

But...at this moment, I have to be the first to get there!

"One... Sir leader! It looks like it's over there!"

Among the four, Chisa Uchiha, who was wearing a Fire Emblem mask, pointed to several looming buildings in front of her and said.

"Yes, that is indeed Loulan! I have passed by there before!" Xie nodded and said.

"Okay! Then... speed up!"

"Yes!"

……

Loulan country.

This is a place with many houses of different sizes, and the buildings are as old and new as a dilapidated small town!

Today's Loulan is incomparable to the original storyline!

In the original storyline, the reason why Naruto was able to see the Loulan Kingdom so prosperous 20 years ago after traveling through time was because of An Lushan, also known as Baizu under the pseudonym!

He used the power of dragon veins and his puppetry to make Loulan like that!

The time Kuugaoka Kazuki lived in was 15 years before Naruto's era in Shippuden!Now Loulan has gone downhill forever!

Every citizen living here is hungry and they are all as thin as bamboo poles!Even the house where Queen Loulan lives can only be said to be a larger building!

……

"Is there really such huge chakra as the leader said in a place like this?"

Hyuga Yosuke, who was wearing an evil ghost mask, asked.After seeing Loulan Kingdom in such a dilapidated place, he couldn't help but start to feel suspicious in his heart.

"That's natural! You'll know after a while!"

Kongqiu Yimu replied.

At this moment, they have entered the country of Loulan. Although the place is a bit old, Kongqiu Yimu doesn't care about it. He just wants to get rid of the power of the dragon vein!

"Um……"

At this time, the four people's footsteps all stopped because they saw... a large number of skinny Loulan people appearing in the surrounding houses.

"Hello, first time meeting you! What are you doing here?"

After several citizens looked at each other for a few times, one of the bolder-looking people stepped forward and asked.

"Can you tell me where your Majesty is? I have a deal I want to talk to her about!"

Kongqiu Yimu replied.

"Her Majesty the Queen...she should be in the Huofu room now, right?"

After hearing that these people came to see Queen Loulan, the man looked at his companions behind him with some doubts and replied.

"Uh-huh……"

Those people didn't say anything, they just nodded in response.

"Very good! Then let's go find your queen first! Just think of these as thank you gifts for telling me!"

As he spoke, Kongqiu Yimu took out a few pieces of gold from his pocket and threw them in front of those people.

"Ah...thank you...thank you! Please go over there to Huo Fu's room!"

After seeing a few pieces of gold fall on his heels, the man was a little surprised at first, and then hurriedly bowed to Kong Qiu Yimu.

As for Kongqiu Yimu, he ignored these people and looked in the direction they pointed towards the fireman's room.

"Everyone! We... can have meat to eat!"

The man picked up the gold on the ground, then looked at his companions behind him with some tears and choked with sobs.

……

"There are a lot of people here! This is probably the Huofu room!"

Looking at the crowd queuing up, Kongqiu Yimu murmured.

"Shall we jump in line directly?" Xie asked.

"Hmm... They look like they are queuing up to get food! Oh no... it's porridge!"

After noticing the broken bowls held by the Loulan citizens, he finally understood the situation.He didn't expect... the food of the people here was worse than when he was poor before!

At least my porridge... is more decent!

"This thing...can it be considered porridge? It's just dyed with some beige water!"

Uchiha Chisa said in a tone that she couldn't bear to watch anymore.She really didn't expect that the residents here actually lived such a hard life!

"Who are you...looking for?"

At this time, a red-haired girl came over. She looked at the strangely dressed people and asked.

"We are here to find the queen here! Do you know where she is?" Kongqiu Yimu answered the girl.

"Queen? What is your purpose in finding her?"

Hearing the word "Queen", the red-haired girl became a little wary.

"There's a business to discuss!"

Kongqiu Yimu saw that the man was on guard, so he simply answered.He would not tell these people his thoughts before meeting Queen Loulan!

"Business..." the red-haired girl murmured.

"Yes! Can you lead us to your queen?"

Kongqiu Yimu nodded and said.

"If you are sincerely coming to discuss business with the Queen, then I will believe you first! My name is Sarah, and I am the daughter of Queen Loulan! I can take you to find my mother!"

Sara looked at these people carefully, and then motioned to them to follow her.

……

Behind the fireman's room, a woman in shabby clothes was lighting a fire. She seemed to be making soup...but when Minato looked forward...it turned out...it was just porridge!

"Mother! There are several people here who want to see you!"

At this time, Sarah came here with Kongqiu Yimu and others, and then called Queen Loulan who was cooking.

"Sarah? Huh? These guests are..."

After the queen heard her daughter calling her, she looked back, and then the strangely dressed Kongqiu Yimu and others came into her sight.

"First meeting! Queen Loulan! My name is Bai Mian! Behind me are my subordinates! I came here to see you because I have a business to discuss with you!"

Kongqiu Yimu stepped forward and said with a gentleman's salute.

"Business?"

Queen Loulan looked puzzled.

……

"Please eat!"

In an empty room in the Huohu's room, Sarah placed a plate of exquisitely crafted meat in front of Kongqiu Yimu and the others.

"I'm so sorry! Because we are very poor here, we can't come up with good things to entertain you!"

Queen Loulan said apologetically.

"This plate of meat...is your last reserve right now? Take it back and distribute it to your people! Their lives are more important!"

Looking at the only plate of meat, Kongqiu Yimu chose to push it away and spoke to Queen Loulan in a gentle tone.

"It really made you laugh!"

The queen was embarrassed to recognize Kongqiu Yimu's kindness.

"It doesn't matter! I am here today only for one thing! This matter is somewhat important, I think Miss Sara can avoid it for a while!" Kong Qiu Yimu waved his hand and then said.

"Sarah is my daughter, nothing will happen to her presence! If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"..." After thinking for a while, Kongqiu Yimu breathed out and said:

"Okay, then please listen carefully, Miss Sara! We have only one purpose for coming this time! That is to conduct a transaction with you! And the content of the transaction...is exactly the dragon vein of your Loulan Kingdom!"
