Could it be that they are also members of that clan? No, it shouldn't be the Queen's clan, after all, that woman's Sharingan is exposed, which is a Bloodline Limit only found in the Uchiha Clan! I haven't heard of any marriage alliances between the Uchiha Clan and Her Majesty's family before?” Hyakuzu pondered to himself, a feeling of unease welling up in his heart.
He knew well the consequences of losing the support of the Dragon Vein's power; his immortal body would be unable to recover. Although in these past few years, his puppetry had made significant progress due to his own breakthrough in strength, it had only just surpassed the limits of an Elite Jonin, allowing him to create a few Elite Jonin-level puppets by relying on resources.
Strictly speaking, he could barely be considered to have touched the threshold of a Kage-level Ninja, but this was entirely dependent on his numerous puppet army to contend with Kage-level experts. With the Dragon Vein's blessing, he had the confidence to oppose the Five Great Nations of the Ninja World.
However, these two individuals before him made him feel incredibly mysterious, as if they concealed endless secrets and power.
Upon their arrival, they suddenly revealed his origins.
The next moment, shortly after the battle began, the woman destroyed his Special Jonin-level puppets as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. One must know that these hundreds of Special Jonin-level puppets, combined with powerful laser rays and defensive capabilities, even ordinary Kage-level masters could not easily break through.
Yet, the opponent danced among his hundreds of puppets like a graceful butterfly, making him helpless, and even pressing closer step by step, breaking through the puppet blockade.
And behind her, the even more mysterious young man, using some unknown method, suddenly summoned a small girl, and not long after, retrieved the Dragon Vein's power from his puppets.
“These two are truly too restraining of me!” Hyakuzu understood in his heart that the battle was already over.
Although the young woman in front of him was still fighting his puppets, her own combat movements had slowed down.
But that was merely the opponent adapting to the methods of fighting a puppet master, treating him as nothing more than a sparring partner to toy with.
Hyakuzu was not an idiot; he could naturally see these things.
To be able to seize a nation after traversing time and space, and to develop LouLan in such an orderly manner, although he used schemes and tricks, LouLan's rapid development was also not lacking Hyakuzu's own thinking ability. As a Ninja, at least other Ninjas were completely unable to step out of their own mindset to secretly usurp the power of a country, but Hyakuzu did it.
Call him arrogant or conceited.
But he truly seized the power of a nation.
Therefore, Hyakuzu himself was certainly not a foolish person.
At this moment, he instantly came to a realization.
These two were not opponents he could contend with!
The next moment, Hyakuzu no longer hesitated, turning and running.
However, Uchiha Chiri frowned: “I can't let you run away. Tenxiu did not say he intended to kill you; clearly, you are still of some use to him!”
As Uchiha Chiri spoke, her Three-Tomoe Sharingan Genjutsu activated directly. Hyakuzu had no resistance against Zhili.
Under Uchiha Chiri's Genjutsu, he was immediately controlled, his body walking step by step to Zhili's front.
The next moment, Uchiha Chiri performed a sealing jutsu, sealing all of his power, causing him to completely collapse to the ground.
“Hmm, not bad! Zhili, your methods for dealing with a puppet master are excellent. Cutting the Chakra threads that control the puppets, using the Chidori Current's lightning layer to block and interrupt the puppet master's subsequent Chakra connections for continued control, striking the puppets' weak points to make them collapse, and destroying their joints to prevent them from reassembling!”
Uchiha Tenxiu said, looking at Uchiha Chiri, who could stand on her own, solving all the patterns in a short time.
His heart was also filled with emotion.
Unbeknownst to him, Zhili was no longer the little girl who followed behind him and needed his care!
...
In the time that followed, Uchiha Tenxiu looked at the captured Hyakuzu and casually inserted a Chakra seed into his body. This way, he completely controlled everything about the opponent, even death would follow him like a shadow.
Making him unable to escape his control for all eternity.
After all, the opponent had sent all the ordinary people of LouLan into the puppet factory, causing the entire LouLan to almost collapse.
Although he had dealt with the opponent,
to completely restore stability to LouLan, he still needed the opponent's puppets to cooperate in the short term.
Regardless, Uchiha Tenxiu had received help from LouLan in another dimension, and out of love for the original, he also showed some care for this parallel world's LouLan.
At least when no interests were involved, Uchiha Tenxiu was very willing to help with small matters!
...
“Then, can you leave behind some of the Dragon Vein's power? Without the Dragon Vein, won't LouLan be headed for destruction!” Queen of LouLan Sara detached herself from Uchiha Tenxiu's embrace, her face full of worry, anxiously asking Uchiha Tenxiu.
At this moment, her eyes were swollen and red like ripe peaches, clearly, she had been weeping bitterly just moments ago.
After Uchiha Tenxiu dealt with LouLan's minister, Hyakuzu, all the puppets instantly became stiff like sculptures, ceasing their activity.
Discovering this situation, Queen Sara was consumed with anxiety and immediately rushed towards the location of the Dragon Vein without stopping.
When she saw An Lushan lying on the ground, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited, erupting like a volcanic eruption, as she unleashed a series of furious questions at Uchiha Tenxiu.
However, with Uchiha Tenxiu's detailed explanation, she gradually understood everything.
It turned out that An Lushan was an out-and-out ambitious man; he not only tried to seize the Dragon Vein but also arrested the people of the entire nation, forcing them into factories for endless labor.
Even worse, he cruelly assassinated her mother, the former Queen of LouLan.
Watching the disbelieving Sara, Uchiha Tenxiu manipulated Hyakuzu, like a wise man, unraveling all the mysteries one by one.
At this point, Sara's inner defenses completely collapsed, as if swept away by a fierce wind, leaving only endless sorrow and despair; she had actually trusted such a mother-killer, treating him as a trusted minister, and bringing disaster to her people.
She was truly an unqualified Queen.
Immediately, Sara began to sob, tears streaming down her face.
Helpless, Uchiha Tenxiu could only step forward, gently stroking her back, comforting her softly, and watching Sara collapse into his arms, Uchiha Tenxiu helplessly watched her cry like a child in his embrace.
A long time passed.
After everything calmed down, Uchiha Tenxiu also remembered to mention taking the Dragon Vein and discussed the future of LouLan with her, and at this moment, Uchiha Tenxiu directly shook his head and refused Sara's request, then said: "Although the Dragon Vein has all been taken by me, the environment of LouLan, after years of continuous eruptions, has permanently changed the landscape of LouLan; as long as there is no war, it will basically not disappear. Of course, the people here also need reasonable development by the people of LouLan!"
"I can help you solve this point, as for the matter of the Dragon Vein, it is very important to me, no discussion!" Uchiha Tenxiu resolutely refused Sara's request.
"All right! I hope you can do what you promised me." Sara sighed helplessly, then nodded slightly, indicating that she accepted Uchiha Tenxiu's promise.
Recalling her un-Queen-like behavior just now, crying bitterly in Uchiha Tenxiu's arms, Sara raised her hand, somewhat shyly trying to tidy her tear-stained face, as if wanting to hide her inner fragility and helplessness.
However, her tear-streaked appearance made her look even more pitiful, which also made Uchiha Tenxiu sigh with emotion.
Sara took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, then turned her gaze to Hyakuzu.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent, as if she wanted to devour Hyakuzu alive.
It was this person who deceived her and her mother, persecuted the people of the entire nation, and assassinated her mother.
"This rogue Ninja, Hyakuzu, as my mother's killer, I hope to personally kill him!" Sara's voice was not loud, but it was full of determination and resolve.
Uchiha Tenxiu quietly watched Sara.
His expression was as calm as ever, seemingly not surprised by Sara's request.
"You may!" Uchiha Tenxiu nodded and slowly said, "However, in the short term, we should first return to help the people of the LouLan Royal Palace restore normal life. Hyakuzu can be controlled by me; let him work first to atone for his sins. It will not be too late to execute him after this nation stabilizes."
He paused, then added: "I hope you can trust us on this point. We absolutely have no other intentions. At least, I have quite a few connections with LouLan."
Sara's gaze shifted between Uchiha Tenxiu and Uchiha Chiri, finally settling on Uchiha Tenxiu. Her lips parted slightly, and she said, "I trust you!"
However, as she spoke these words, her face inexplicably flushed, as if she remembered something that made her feel shy. Especially, the so-called connection in Uchiha Tenxiu's words made her wonder if the other party, who could easily retrieve the Dragon Vein, was also a member of her clan, or perhaps some distant relative.
For a moment, Sara paused, looking at Uchiha Tenxiu's handsome face, and couldn't help but scrutinize him.
Beside her, Uchiha Chiri, seeing this, felt a surge of anger. Why was this woman staring at Brother Tenxiu?
She glared at Sara with wide eyes, seemingly about to say something to stop Sara's covetousness towards Brother Tenxiu.
Suddenly, a loud and noisy sound reverberated, as if it would burst one's eardrums.
"Ah! Where is this place... Hmm, that's Hyakuzu, die!" Accompanied by this roar, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space not far away, and a figure rushed over like lightning.
It was a person with golden hair, his figure like a ghost, instantly appearing in this place. His eyes opened blankly, seemingly not yet fully awake from sleep.
However, when his gaze fell on Hyakuzu, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes instantly became sharp, like an enraged lion.
This yellow-haired Ninja roared without hesitation, charging towards them like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was extremely fast, stirring up a gust of wind that made people turn their heads.
At the same time, he quickly exerted force with both hands, and a powerful Chakra gathered in his palms, instantly forming a huge Rasengan. This Rasengan emitted a dazzling light, as if containing endless power.
