Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 135

Of course, this wasn't some kind of romantic play; it was simply a precaution An Lushan took to prevent his opponents from going to the dragon vein area.

but now,

An Lushan had no interest in paying attention to this woman; he needed to go to another secret passage to retrieve his most powerful weapon...

As for the closure of the dragon vein.

He knew that this powerful figure's purpose in coming to the ancient Loulan Kingdom was definitely to obtain the power of the dragon vein chakra, so he left the queen here for now and dealt with her together later.

—That is indeed the case.

Not long after leaving this area, the secret passage that An Lushan had just passed through was illuminated by laser-like beams of light, cutting open a passable path.

"Ya le ya lei~"

"arrive."

"Your Majesty, your knight has arrived. Do you require assistance?"

Sally leaned against the headboard, her hands and feet handcuffed and shackled, long chains binding her to the head and foot of the bed. She watched blankly as Bai Xing and her group approached.

"An Lushan's men?"

"So you've finally made up your mind to kill me?!"

"Come on! I, Sally, may die here, but my daughter, Sarah, will never yield!"

"She will save the people of the ancient Loulan Kingdom! Save this tragic land ruled by An Lushan!! Stop An Lushan's ambition to dominate the world using the dragon vein!!! Cough cough cough—"

"Mmm. That's amazing. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Nawaki glanced at Shirahoshi, who had been holding a slime kunai in his right hand for a while. After listening to him, Nawaki still asked, "Headmaster, are you a dog?"

"Ahem. That's all. If possible, could I see Sarah one last time before I die?"

Bai Xing shook her head, her tone serious: "I'm sorry. I can't do it."

"I see... then go ahead and do it."

"Oh, okay." Bai Xing hurriedly walked forward, touched Sally's dirty belly, pressed her ear to it and listened for a moment. Seeing the despair on Sally's face when she saw what was behind her, Bai Xing looked up:

"Looks like he's not crazy after all."

laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh!

In an instant, all the iron shackles binding Sally's hands and feet were severed.

Sally closed her eyes, bracing herself for the deranged murderer who would listen to her stomach rumble before killing her... Wait, what?!

"Why doesn't it hurt?"

Sally opened her eyes, blinked, and then noticed that the three masked men in front of her had moved a little further away and were loudly plotting in front of her.

Bai Xing: "I'm saying, this queen is quite good-looking. Why don't you take her?"

Rope Tree: "???"

Bai Xing: "Don't you not have a girlfriend? How about I introduce you to someone?"

Rope Tree: "You're crazy."

Honglian: "Can I have it, Master?"

Bai Xing: "Sure! Hong Lian, you can have her. You'd better treat her well then~"

Honglian: "Hehehe—"

Nawaki: "?????? Are you sure you're talking about your girlfriend?"

Bai Xing: "No. What are you thinking? Wait a minute! You don't think I'm going to give this woman to you as a prostitute, do you?"

Rope Tree froze for a moment, then, after standing still, grabbed Shirahoshi's neck with both hands: "I've put up with you for so long!! You're shameless, but I am!!! Ugh..."

Rope Tree grabbed Shirahoshi's neck, only then noticing Sally's horrified look. He quickly released Shirahoshi, raising his hand in a gesture reminiscent of a 'Wait a minute, Ziwei' meme:

"Um, let me explain!"

"Perverted...abnormal..."

As soon as Sally finished speaking, Nawaki instantly transformed into the classic state of being struck down and utterly dejected, just like his grandfather, the First Hokage.

Bai Xing straightened her collar, adjusted her mask, and walked up to the Queen, coolly saying:

"Oh, Queen!"

"We saved you. Shouldn't you repay us?"

After Sally calmed down, she also realized something.

An Lushan was in bad shape just now because he was being chased by these people.

"You've also come for the dragon vein, haven't you?"

"Correct."

"Ha. I will not yield to you people who will stop at nothing for power! No matter what you do to me, I will not..."

"Huh?! Really? Tree-kun, she says she'll do anything—"

Boom!

The shuriken was stuck in front of Shirahoshi's mask, but Shirahoshi didn't dodge because she knew the force wouldn't hurt her.

"Do you believe I'll kill you!" Rope Tree thought to himself that he had been honest his whole life, but today his reputation was about to be ruined by him. He then adjusted his mask and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he was wearing a mask, so no one recognized him. What if his sister had overheard him...?

Rope Tree Fantasy: A blonde woman learns of this, a young man frantically tries to explain, and is ultimately brutally beaten, successfully admitted to Konoha Hospital, and has all his fractures healed.

Just as Rope Tree was still lost in thought, Shirahoshi pulled out the shuriken and casually tossed it into the location of the dragon vein below, saying, "Queen."

"You might have misunderstood something."

"We are just a group of people who are fighting for peace."

"Named."

"White Cross".

Chapter 117 Absolutely must not tell Bai Xing!!!

"White, white cross? Cough cough."

Sally started coughing before she could finish her sentence, clearly due to a physical ailment and a prolonged period of poor quality of life. Bai Xing decisively opened the ROOM space and began scanning.

Sally glanced around at the blue light barrier and asked, "Who exactly are you? I don't think I've ever heard of you before..."

As Shirahoshi examined Sally's body, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. "Just think of it as a recently formed organization."

"The things I value."

"It is indeed a dragon vein."

"But not in terms of power, but in terms of the value that the infinite energy of the dragon vein can create."

"Value?" Sally looked puzzled.

At this moment, Shirahoshi finished her inspection, gathered the dust around Sally into a circle, and threw it at the still-dreaming Rope Tree, making the boy spit out the stench. Then, a sharp slime scalpel appeared in Shirahoshi's hand:

"This world is very short of resources."

"Queen."

"Don't move. Let me perform surgery on you, and you'll be cured."

"Really? I can... I can see Sarah again?"

"Of course. Sarah is safe, but we need to move quickly."

"That person will be back soon."

"This time, he will kill you."

"An Lushan, is that it?"

"Hmm." Bai Xing nodded, making a shallow cut in Sally's thin skin, then beckoned to Hong Lian, "Come here. This is the first full-scale bacterial surgery, so you'd better watch carefully. Who knows, this woman might just die halfway through the surgery."

—In fact, the bacteria were just removed using the ROOM space.

"Okay Master!"

Sally: "??????" What happened to being able to see my daughter again?! You're not talking about heaven, are you?!

At this moment, Sally seemed to understand Rope Tree's feelings.

After an unknown amount of time, a secret stone door leading down from the upper tower slowly opened.

Then, a huge dragon vein puppet emerged from the stone gate, along with countless other ordinary dragon vein puppets of similar size.

"This time."

"No matter how monstrous you are."

"You'll die here too!!!"

"Ridiculous." Bai Xing removed one of the Queen's diseased cysts, showing the small swelling to Hong Lian as she responded to An Lushan:

"With nothing more than the power of puppets, how dare they try to dominate the world?"

Shirahoshi pressed one hand against her mask, revealing only her left eye:

"How far can your eyes see?!"

"My future is destined to be that of the king of this world! And you, a nobody even in the future, are destined to die here!!!"

"Together with the Queen of Loulan..."

"Wait a minute? You just said you didn't see me in the future?" Shirahoshi's surgery could have ended much earlier, but it was just to give Guren a more thorough look.

Turning around, she used chakra threads to sew up the Loulan Queen's delicate body with her right hand, while on her left was a slime cloth, specifically to block a certain man's wicked gaze.

"So."

What do you see in the future?

"Can you give me this information? The future rogue ninja of Sunagakure, Mr. Centipede."
