Country of Roran does not have Ninja Village, and in theory there is not even a ninja, but because Royal Family can control the power of Ryūmyaku, plus a large number of automatic Puppet...
Within the range covered by Ryūmyaku, the combat power of Rōran is almost equivalent to that of a Tailed Beast... or even more.
It's just that the power of Ryūmyaku cannot be exerted outside.
However, internally, the one who holds the power is Royal Family, and the one who holds the power is also Royal Family. King of Roran has absolute authority over Country of Roran, which is equivalent to the combination of "Daimyo+Shadow+Jinchuriki".
It's just that Rōran's current situation is slightly different from the past...
A year ago, Previous Queen passed away, and the new Queen Sara succeeded to the throne. He was in power in name, but in fact it was Regent An Lushan who controlled the government.
At the same time, because Sara is still young, the control of Ryūmyaku is also very rough and cannot be actively used. He can only reluctantly let Ryūmyaku continue to provide energy to the city...
This is why, in the past year, the logistics of Sand Ninja has not been able to keep up.
At this time, Akaseki learned from the guard of Royal Tower that the fake Konoha Ninja had been discovered by Regent and arrested. He was also a little surprised.
Originally Akaseki thought that he would have to take action on this matter personally...
After all, little Rōran doesn't dare to offend Konoha. Even if he has doubts, the two teams of Konoha Ninja will most likely have to tell the truth from the false.
I never thought that An Lushan's movements were so fast that he had already captured the four fake people?
"An Lushan... is from Rōran?" Akaseki curiously asked about the origin of An Lushan.
"That's not the case... the regent is a wandering Puppet division who came to Rōran just a year ago. After he came, he designed many new Puppet for Rōran. After the death of His Majesty the late king, it was also thanks to the regent that he became the prime minister."
"Puppet division?" Akaseki secretly felt that something was wrong.
Nowadays, the most famous Puppet Technique is undoubtedly Sunagakure, and now comes the Puppet division...
But to say that An Lushan belongs to Sunagakure is not like it - after all, it seems that he has not helped Sunagakure at present. Since a year ago, Rōran's Puppet parts production line has been stopped!
Rōran was very sensible and did not delay or neglect. After the four Akaseki Squad arrived at the top of the tower in Elevator, they went all the way to the main hall without any waiting.
Kukukuku--
The heavy door opened, and the four Akaseki walked into the spacious and tall hall. They saw that the hall was empty, with only two people waiting.
One of them was wearing the royal robe of Rōran. She looked young, a girl of only twelve or thirteen years old.
What is striking is that she has red hair...
Uzumaki Clan!
Although there was no evidence, considering the hair color, the geographical location of Rōran, and some special features of the King of Roran family, Akaseki immediately judged in his heart that the King of Roran family and Uzumaki Clan were related by blood.
After all, Rōran was originally located in the west-central part of the continent, which is where Uzumaki Bloodline was spread, and...
And only the King of Roran family can control Ryūmyaku, which shows that there should be something special about the bloodline, and Uzumaki Clan, as a descendant of that Ashura, is indeed very special.
Of course, the King of Roran clan must have its own special features. Not only Uzumaki Clan can control Ryūmyaku--Sunagakure also has ninjas with the Uzumaki Clan blood. If it were that easy, Rōran would have been annexed long ago.
Rōran also exists as a country, which itself is a symbol of the specialness of the King of Roran family.
The other person is not very impressive in appearance, just in the style of Country of Roran, with a robe, a cloak, and a turban... However, it can still be seen that he has a strong figure, a big beard, and lazy eyes, and he looks lifeless. He is a guy with no discernible characteristics.
But Akaseki knows that this person is the regent An Lushan who has been in charge of the Rōran government in the past year!
At this time, little Queen seemed a little nervous when facing Akaseki and others...
"Welcome all distinguished guests from Konoha." An Lushan took the initiative to welcome him.
"Konoha's Akaseki, see An Lushan regent, Sara Queen." Akaseki seemed to greet politely.
But...
Not to mention the careless attitude, greeting the regent first and then Queen also seemed very provocative.
Sure enough, little Queen looked at Akaseki angrily, while An Lushan just smiled indifferently and did not correct anything.
"Konoha's envoy came here this time. What do you want to learn from him?" An Lushan asked directly.
"It's nothing, it's just that Land of Wind has surrendered to Konoha. Lord Hokage couldn't bear that Rōran, who has always been peaceful, also experienced war, so he asked us to come and contact you to avoid any misunderstandings." Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
An Lushan just laughed at this, but the little Queen muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why do we go through war?"
Obviously dissatisfied with Akaseki's implicit threats...
"Sara." An Lushan lowered his eyelids at this time and glanced at little Queen. Sara immediately shrank his neck and said no more.
It can be seen that Sara Queen is usually taught by An Lushan.
"Thank you Lord Hokage for your kindness. Rōran has always pursued peace. The previous cooperation with Land of Wind was also based on peace. Rōran is also looking forward to cooperating with Land of Fire and Konoha. "An Lushan seemed to be very understanding and immediately cut off with Sunagakure.
Seeing this, Akaseki stared into his lifeless eyes and asked, "Then... have any ninjas from Sunagakure come to you recently?"
"Yes." An Lushan said frankly, "But now His Majesty Queen is still young and cannot control Ryūmyaku's power, so... we cannot satisfy some of the cooperation they require."
"Then they gave up?" Akaseki asked.
Seeing this, Ranwu couldn't help but glance at Akaseki.
"I don't know, maybe... not, hey." An Lushan also looked like he had a headache at this time.
Seeing that An Lushan was so timid at this time, Akaseki turned to ask, "By the way, did a fake Konoha Ninja come to see Mr. Queen before?"
"Well, they are just a few thieves who want to fight against the autumn wind." An Lushan said, as if they were not worth a damn.
"Little thieves? But after all, they pretended to be Konoha's ninjas. Even if they are fake, you actually dare to attack Konoha Ninja? Does that mean that if you think we are fake, you will take us down too?" Akaseki asked aggressively.
"You..." Sara was a little angry, feeling that this rude Konoha Ninja was just provoking.
However, he was stopped again by An Lushan's eyes.
"Of course it's different. I defeated Kazekage, killed Mizukage, and pursued Sand Ninja for thousands of miles... Daimyo, Lord Konoha's Akaseki, how could I admit my mistake?
"Those little thieves, on the other hand, looked very different and had poor strength, so I saw through them... In fact, when I was traveling among Shinobi World, I had some Uchiha Clan friends, and that fake Uchiha Clan didn't even have the right family crest."
An Lushan first praised Akaseki, and then hinted that he and Uchiha Clan are close.
Hearing what An Lushan said, Akaseki's expression softened, but he still asked, "Do you have a friend from the Uchiha Clan? Who is it?"
"Hou Xuan, Uchiha Clan Hou Xuan... But I haven't seen him for twenty years. I heard that... hey." An Lushan said and shook his head.
Akaseki:...
Obviously, his "friend" is dead.
When Akaseki heard the name, his expression froze for a moment, but he immediately covered it up and continued, "I see, we are going to stay in Rōran for a while, won't it be inconvenient?"
"Of course not, Rōran's door will always be open to Konoha's friends." An Lushan said quickly.
Seeing that An Lushan was so understanding, Akaseki couldn't say anything else, so he had to leave with three team members first.
An Lushan also arranged for Konoha and his party a luxurious Tower next to Royal Tower as a place for four people Lodging.
After the soldier leading the way left, Ranwu couldn't help but ask, "Akaseki, you don't want to deliberately force Country of Roran to fall out, do you? No one can control Ryūmyaku except the King of Roran family..."
"In your eyes, I am the kind of person who deliberately provokes and wants to annex Rōran for Ryūmyaku Power?" Akaseki asked unhappily.
Ranwu remained silent and seemed to have answered again.
"I just don't think that An Lushan is a good person!" Akaseki stressed.
"Really? Although Queen is afraid of him, it seems that he is just a strict discipline person." Ranwu muttered.
"Akaseki, do you know the Uchiha Clan he was talking about?" Minato asked at the right time.
Akaseki Hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, "I know him, but I'm not familiar with him... He's my dad."
Ranwu, Minato, light:...
"I haven't seen it! I just know the name." Akaseki explained, "Not long after I was born, my parents sacrificed their lives for the peace of Konoha, the peace of Shinobi World..."
"Then... don't you want to ask more questions?" Ranwu hesitated and asked - in Ranwu's opinion, since An Lushan is Hou Xuan's friend, he may know about Akaseki's father.
"What are you asking? If he knows that I am Hou Xuan's son, won't it make me look a generation shorter?" Akaseki shook his head repeatedly.
Just because of this relationship, Akaseki didn't ask An Lushan any more questions just now.
"Minato, have you thought of anything?" Akaseki looked at Minato who was still thinking about something.
"I'm thinking... those four people pretending to be Konoha Ninja... are they really just trying to catch the autumn wind?" Minato is a little confused - then they are really taking advantage of the fire.
Although Rōran would definitely not dare to offend Konoha at this time, but it would be too arrogant to directly pretend to be Konoha Ninja to see King of Roran?
"To be captured by the Rōran people so quickly and quietly, I don't think I have much ability." Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
The soldiers guarding the gate didn't even know that the previous batch of Konoha ninjas were fake. It can be seen that the arrests and imprisonments did not cause much commotion.
"You can't say that, the automatic Puppet without energy restrictions is still very powerful." Minato shook his head.
"If you are worried, we will look for an opportunity tomorrow to meet these bold guys." Akaseki didn't care at this time.
