The black-robed man in front of her saluted Sara, then pulled her up from the corner. A gentle smile rested on his rather handsome face.
"Yes, Uncle Anrokuzan, thank you... Without you, I could never have managed Roran on my own."
Sara trusted the man before her deeply. Over the past few months, her mother and Roran's ministers had all fallen victim to villains from outside Roran.
Not long ago, she had witnessed Sunagakure ninja with her own eyes. They had tried to approach and harm her.
Without Anrokuzan, she would have died at the hands of the ninja long ago.
"What are you saying? As a court minister of Roran, all of this is my duty."
Anrokuzan chuckled. When Sara was not paying attention, the corners of his mouth gradually curled into a sharp, chilling arc.
If not for this girl's special ability to control the Dragon Vein, he would have sent her to join her mother long ago.
That foolish queen had refused to cooperate with him...
Compared to her, her thirteen-year-old daughter was like a puppet in his hand, free for him to manipulate.
After offering Sara a little comfort, Anrokuzan left.
"This is the place."
Not long afterward, led by Naruto, Mirai's group of three arrived beneath a building.
They exchanged glances, then slipped inside in a flash.
Mirai's group of three avoided several guards and reached the corridor outside the palace where Princess Sara was staying.
At that moment, several armored guards were patrolling back and forth in front of the main gates.
"Dad, are we doing it now?" Naruto whispered. He had already confirmed that the daughter of the Queen of Roran was inside.
Mirai and Kushina had been observing from outside the palace. After a moment, they exchanged looks and smiled.
