Chapter 97 Dreams Always End Sooner or Later
After getting ready to go to Queen Sara of Roroku the next day to inform her that An Lushan was enslaving her subjects, Yue Yan and the others found a secluded place to rest.
Fortunately, many buildings in Roroku were now empty shells, so Yue Yan and the others didn't have to put in much effort.
Looking through the window at Roroku below, where the false prosperity was maintained by Puppets, Minato Namikaze lowered his head, lost in thought.
Suddenly, Minato noticed that one of Yue Yan's kage clones (a technique in the Naruto world where a ninja creates a clone with its own consciousness and abilities) had returned with a camera.
"Yue Yan, what's this?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan handed the camera to Minato.
"Although the prosperity here is fake, this is still Roroku. After An Lushan is killed, this place will surely be buried by the sandstorms. Instead of letting it disappear over time, it's better to leave some mementos. Note: Roroku (Loulan in Chinese history) is an ancient city that was indeed buried by sand in real - world history."
"You're right."
Minato, who had just asked out of curiosity, fell silent again after getting the answer.
Seeing this, Yue Yan shrugged.
"You must have sensed it, right? Naruto is your future son. After all, there's no mistaking the Nine - Tailed Fox inside him."
Minato, whose thoughts had been exposed, forced a smile. With his intelligence, he sensed the half of the Yang Nine - Tailed Fox inside Naruto. Considering his and Kushina's personalities, he had already guessed what was going on.
"Even though Naruto is from a parallel world, major events like the Nine - Tailed Fox Incident should remain the same."
Hearing this, Yue Yan patted Minato on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you and Sister Kushina."
Minato just smiled when he heard this. He admitted that Yue Yan was powerful, but the Nine - Tailed Fox was known as a walking natural disaster. Apart from legendary ninjas like the First Hokage, he didn't believe anyone else could deal with it. In his opinion, the best choice was for him and Kushina to sacrifice themselves to Seal the Nine - Tailed Fox.
When Yue Yan saw Minato's expression, he knew what he was thinking and didn't want to say more.
Yue Yan felt the Scroll in his ninja tool bags that sealed a large amount of life force. He had prepared a lot for the Nine - Tailed Fox Incident. If only Obito Uchiha came to attack, Yue Yan was confident that Obito wouldn't cause any trouble.
The next day, Yue Yan and the others hid in a corner, watching the tower in front of the square.
When Yue Yan saw that Sara had still shown up, he couldn't help but sigh. Although it was an act of Cruelty to this innocent girl, dreams always end sooner or later.
Just then, Sara felt as if someone had pushed her from behind. She lost control of her body and rushed forward. It seemed that the railing in front of her had also been tampered with and didn't offer any resistance at all. As soon as Sara touched it, it shattered with a loud noise.
The fragments of the railing and the screaming Sara fell down together.
But at that moment, Naruto attached chakra to his feet and leaped a few times to catch the falling Sara.
Feeling herself land steadily on the ground, Sara stopped screaming. But when she noticed that it was Naruto holding her, she instinctively slapped him twice.
"What are you doing!"
Naruto covered his face, which had two bright red handprints, and questioned Sara.
Sara, who had just fallen from a great height, came to her senses and shyly apologized to Naruto.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Yue Yan and the others here.
Noticing Yue Yan's familiar face, Sara was a little confused.
"It's you, that incredibly cute... boy. Didn't I tell you before that if you wanted to attend the celebration, you should stay on the outskirts?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. But he didn't care about Sara almost getting his gender wrong. After all, girls always have some privileges.
"Let's not talk about that. You should have felt that you were pushed down just now, right?"
"Um, it seems so." Sara recalled for a moment and indeed felt that she had been pushed.
"The bearded man who was standing behind you before is An Lushan. It was him who wanted to harm you."
"That's impossible." Sara was a bit angry. "An Lushan is a good person. Without him, Roroku wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today."
Seeing Sara like this, Yue Yan was really speechless and couldn't help but complain.
"Didn't you just say that you felt it?"
"I must have been wrong. Anyway, An Lushan definitely wouldn't harm me."
Seeing that Sara was really stubborn, Yue Yan was also very helpless. Then he pointed at the crowd still cheering below.
"Look, your queen just fell off the building, and they're still cheering. Don't you think something's wrong?"
"Um... maybe..."
Not wanting to explain anymore, Yue Yan raised his hand like a claw and threw out several sharp blades made of chakra, which cut through the air above several people below.
After the chakra blades passed by, those people fell to the ground, scattering into pieces of Puppet parts.
"See? The people below aren't your subjects at all. They're just Puppets made by An Lushan."
"This..."
Sara looked dazed. She stared fixedly at the Puppet parts on the ground and kept mumbling, "This can't be true."
Seeing this, Yue Yan activated his Senji perception and the electric grid.
"If you still don't believe it, come with us to meet some people. When you see them, you'll understand."
Having said that, Yue Yan led the way forward and came to the door of an underground room.
He knocked on the door and shouted into the room.
"Open the door. Your queen is here."
For a long time, there was no sound from inside, and the door didn't open.
Seeing this, Yue Yan couldn't help but click his tongue. Before Minato Namikaze could finish saying "The door opens outwards", Yue Yan punched the front door in front of him, shattering it and revealing a group of women with their faces covered, holding various tools as weapons.
Originally, these women were on guard, thinking that An Lushan had sent people to arrest them. But when they saw that it was really Queen Sara of Roroku, they all put down their weapons and showed their faces.
"Your Majesty, it's really you."
"Yes, it's me, Queen Sara of Roroku."
Through communication with them, Sara learned that An Lushan had forged her order to arrest all the men in Roroku.
These women were the wives, daughters, and Mothers of the arrested men. They mainly didn't leave because they wanted to rescue their family members.
"I never issued such an order. Never."
Sara helplessly squatted on the ground, with tears streaming down her face.
Seeing this, the women stepped forward to comfort her. After all, it wasn't Sara's fault. The one at fault was An Lushan.
Just then, Yue Yan walked over, squatted down, and gently patted Sara on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, we can help you. We'll defeat An Lushan and drive him out of Roroku. All you have to do is say that you want us to get rid of An Lushan."
Hearing this, Sara looked up at Yue Yan, then randomly wiped the tears on her face and nodded seriously.
"Okay, I, as the Queen of Roroku, entrust you to get rid of An Lushan."
Hearing this, Yue Yan smiled and turned to look at Minato Namikaze, who was also smiling.
"Senior Brother Minato Namikaze, since the commission has come, what we have to do is complete the task and completely destroy An Lushan (reduce him to ashes figuratively)."
