"Wait a minute, there is the city gate ahead. You become luggage and we sneak in first." Minato said to the three Naruto.
When they left the city before, both Konoha and Naruto were also hidden. As for Sasuke... they were originally assassinated outside the city.
Even just in case, Minato processed the tokens on the four people with Sealing, and they had just unlocked them.
Therefore, in theory, Rōran people should not know that Akaseki Squad has caught "fake Konoha Ninja".
Although Akaseki doesn't take An Lushan and his broken Puppet seriously, since there is an easier way, Akaseki doesn't want to cause trouble...
The trick of using "Transformation Technique" to turn it into an item is either done in battle, mainly by surprise, or it is only useful to ordinary people. If a ninja wants to check it, it will be easy to find it.
Just right at Rōran...
Guards are essentially just ordinary people!
Although the Ryūmyaku-powered Puppet provides combat support, it cannot replace the Ninja in these aspects.
Akaseki and his party of four returned directly to Rōran City without alerting An Lushan.
As soon as he returned to the city, Akaseki noticed something strange in the atmosphere. After exchanging glances with Minato, they both secretly became on guard.
First, I went back to Tower of Lodging, and after re-changing the token Sealing, the three of Naruto changed back...
"You stay here while we go find An Lushan." Akaseki said to the three "children".
"If he is Mukade, why don't we go together and catch him directly?" Naruto said eagerly.
Akaseki shook his head directly and said, "If we really want to arrest him, we don't need you, and... we still have to be polite before fighting. If he continues to understand, it doesn't matter if he lets him go."
"Eh? But our mission..." Naruto was a little anxious when he heard this.
"It's just Sunagakure's mission, why are you so concerned about it?" Akaseki waved his hand frivolously.
Akaseki has just confirmed with them that the nature of this mission is indeed not that Sunagakure has enslaved Konoha, but... Konoha and Sunagakure are already allies, and they usually support each other.
This undoubtedly makes Akaseki very dissatisfied - given this situation, why did Sunagakure lose its "vassal" nature and become an "alliance"?
Twenty years later, the results of this Shinobi World great battle have been lost?
So why have so many of our tribesmen and companions died in the past five years?
Therefore, Akaseki was particularly angry about "Sunagakure's mission", and of course he didn't care whether Sunagakure, Future's, could catch his traitorous ninja.
"Ninja Code says..." Naruto wants to say something else.
However, Akaseki interrupted directly, "Those taught by Ninja Code are all idiots!"
Naruto:...
"Akaseki..." Minato couldn't help but interrupt Akaseki's teaching of bad children.
"Okay, here is your chance to complete the mission." Ranwu said at this time, "No matter how you recognize An Lushan, he came back here from Future and cannot leave Rōran at all. And no matter how we use Ryūmyaku, we will not let him stay here... The so-called recognition requires him to "go back" after he recognizes himself."
Ranwu explained...
There is not much space left for An Lushan to understand the situation!
After hearing this truth, the three children were no longer anxious.
However, Minato is a little worried - it seems that Ranwu, like Akaseki, is determined to do something to Ryūmyaku this time.
"That's fine, this is how we can ensure Kakashi-sensei's safety." Konoha also said.
Hearing "Kakashi-sensei", Akaseki curled his lips again - you should change your teacher!
It is true that An Lushan's identity has changed, but...
From "Can't beat Rogue Ninja" to "Can't beat Sand Ninja traitor", this doesn't seem to go well.
Unless that Mukade rebelled against the village because he failed to fight for Kazekage...
Breaking the age record for promotion Jonin?
Isn't it just that the performance is good in the early stage and there is no potential in the later stage?
"Guang, you stay here and watch the three of them." Minato suggested at this time.
Guang frowned and glanced at Minato.
Akaseki was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Minato meant - just in case!
This is not only to prevent An Lushan from making any moves, but also to help prevent An Lushan from making any moves. It is also to prevent these three children, who are not very smart, from having an idea.
Of course, the most important thing is...
Minato is also worried about Akaseki and her "die together"!
For Guang, Minato can't be said to be trusting or suspicious, the two of them are not familiar enough.
But I am too familiar with Akaseki and Minato...
Although Akaseki seems to completely trust the light now, but... this person may get into trouble at some point!
In this case, it is better to let Guang stay here, so that if anything happens, he can be used as support.
"Well, Hikari, please." Akaseki also nodded.
"Okay, but I'm not a nanny. Don't blame me if you come back missing one or two." Guang glanced at Sasuke who was staring at him.
The three of Akaseki left for Royal Tower. On the way, Minato spoke first, "There was something wrong with the attitude of those soldiers just now. Be careful of fraud."
When they returned to the city, both Akaseki and Minato noticed the subtle "guilty" attitude of the gatekeepers.
Of course, this attitude did not seem like he wanted to ambush them, but more like these soldiers knew something that made them uneasy.
Therefore, Akaseki and Minato were alert at this time...
Soon after, the three met little Queen and An Lushan again.
"How are you three resting? Did you find anything about those little thieves?" An Lushan asked proactively after meeting.
Although he seemed to be questioning, his eyes were still dead, without any desire for knowledge.
"Not yet, but... we want to interrogate the caught fake Konoha Ninja." Akaseki said at this time.
"Huh? Well... he can't speak now." An Lushan was obviously resisting.
"It doesn't matter, I can use Genjutsu to enter his spiritual level." Akaseki said with a big wave of his hand.
"No, I mean... he can no longer speak. The little thief just now was too seriously injured and rescue failed." An Lushan's face darkened and he said directly.
Akaseki After hearing this, the expressions of the three people also changed a little.
Regardless of whether this situation is true or false, it means that An Lushan has become "ignorant".
But...
"So that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it... If anything is discovered in the future, Anshe should communicate with us as soon as possible." Akaseki said in a deep voice at this time.
"Of course, I have always respected Konoha and admired Master Konoha's Akaseki." An Lushan's face suddenly softened, as if the coldness just now was just an illusion.
Ranwu was a little confused about Akaseki's attitude, but when he saw him really leaving, he followed him directly.
"Are we leaving like this?" Ranwu couldn't help but ask after leaving.
"In addition to that An Lushan and little Queen, there are more than one elite ninja hiding in the dark!" Akaseki said with certainty.
"Yes, and... they are not ordinary elites." Minato also spoke solemnly at this time.
"Elite?" Ranwu still doesn't understand the importance of this.
"One of them is probably Third Kazekage who once escaped from my hands!" Akaseki reminded.
Ranwu:!!!
"Kazekage? Why did he come here in person?" Ranwu said in shock.
Their apparent mission this time is to prevent Rōran from contacting and trading with Sunagakure, and not to give Sand Ninja any chance to counterattack.
In fact, Sand Ninja, who is in exile, is indeed about to surrender. It is just to discuss Peace Negotiations's conditions...
It's normal for Sand Ninja to come to contact Rōran. After all, those Sand Wall don't want to admit defeat if they have any chance, and even if they want to admit defeat, the more chips they have in hand, the better the conditions can be negotiated.
It's not surprising that I would give it a try here at Rōran.
But...
Kazekage came to Rōran in person, this is so strange!
"Unless Rōran offers something that Kazekage thinks is very important, or even a price that he thinks can turn the tide of the battle, there is no reason why he would come to Rōran." Minato said solemnly.
"Rōran..." Ranwu instinctively wanted to question - does Rōran have such a thing?
But when I think about the magic of "Ryūmyaku", I feel that nothing is impossible!
"Since they didn't take action just now, it seems that they haven't reached an agreement yet. That An Lushan... is probably waiting for a price!" Akaseki understood this immediately.
Those Sand Ninja didn't even do it by force...
He didn't even dare to "cut first and tell later". In addition to being afraid of "Konoha's Akaseki", I'm afraid he was also manipulated by An Lushan.
Otherwise, you can take action directly and force An Lushan to completely take sides.
At the same time, in Royal Tower's main hall, several Sand Ninjas wearing cloaks also walked out.
The leader among them is Third Kazekage... and New Clan Head of the Ao Clan, that is, the father of Karura and Yashamaru, Kanaro, is also there.
"Your Majesty Queen, Anshe, those Konoha Ninja are so rude, I'm afraid they have already decided on us Desert Nations." Kanaro provoked at this time.
Little Queen curled his lips at this time - Sunagakure people usually say "I Lord of the Desert and you Desert Minor Nations", but now they say "we Desert Nations" one by one.
An Lushan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry Kanaro Clan Head... You have come from afar, so I Rōran should I am a landlord, but I don't want you to fight with Konoha because Rōran is a mere slave, otherwise I, Country of Roran, a small citizen, may not be able to bear it..."
Hearing that An Lushan meant to issue an eviction order, Sand Ninja's face could not help but change slightly, and his breath even fluctuated a little, hinting at a hidden threat.
Little Queen Sara felt something at this time and hid behind An Lushan, but An Lushan didn't seem to feel it. He just looked at the other party with a smile and stared at Third Kazekage.
"Anshe Don't be embarrassed, these things... we will solve them ourselves, Rōran just be ready to trade!"
