Chapter 656

~6 min read 1,050 words

Naruto's expression stiffened immediately, and he said: "Well, how should I put it... The Chunin exam had an accident and was interrupted. After that, some things happened, and I have been practicing..."

Kakashi looked at Naruto with dead-fish eyes and said: "So you are actually a Genin now?"

"Cough!"

Naruto scratched his head awkwardly, then thought of something and said: "That doesn't represent anything! I am very strong; Jonin are not my opponents either! In short, listen to me next. Lu Chen, you go protect Sarah, and Teacher Kakashi, you come with me to find Mukade."

"..."

Kakashi was silent for a while.

Then he turned to look at Lu Chen and said: "Big Brother, what should we do next?"

He had already decided to ignore Naruto.

Lu Chen also ignored Naruto and said: "As long as we find that Mukade and then kill him, it will be fine. Sarah, you should know where Mukade is, right? Oh, by the way, he is called Anrokuzan now."

While Lu Chen was speaking, he turned his head to look at Sarah.

Sarah had been confused listening to the exchange between Kakashi and Naruto. Hearing Lu Chen's question at this moment, she suddenly reacted, and then her expression tightened immediately, saying: "Anrokuzan? No, it's impossible for Anrokuzan to be the ninja Mukade. Please don't say such things again!"

Kakashi glanced at Sarah and said: "That's just what you think."

Sarah argued: "Anrokuzan is an outstanding minister who came to this country six years ago. Now he has inherited my mother's will and is working hard to develop this country. Compared to that, you who appeared suddenly are more suspicious!"

While speaking, she looked at Lu Chen. When her gaze touched Lu Chen, she couldn't help but dodge slightly, her tone weakened a bit, and she said: "Ev-even if you saved me, you can't slander Minister Anrokuzan like this!"

Lu Chen looked at Sarah without speaking.

In the silence.

He took two steps forward, arrived in front of Sarah, reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder, and said softly: "Don't deceive yourself anymore... With your intelligence, couldn't you have noticed any suspicious signs in all these years?"

"..."

Sarah's lips tightened.

This sentence almost instantly broke her previous rebuttal. After her mother died, all kinds of suspicious points had indeed appeared, including the fact that her mother's death itself was suspicious, but because the only person she could rely on after that was Anrokuzan, she had been resisting thinking in that direction.

Lu Chen looked at Sarah, let go of his hand, walked to the side of the high platform, pointed to the puppets below who were cheering and praising the Queen, and said: "Do you want to see what your subjects who have been praising you look like?"

"Hmm?"

Sarah looked over, showing a trace of doubt.

Lu Chen took two steps back, then his figure flashed, arrived beside her, took her and jumped down from the high tower, landing directly among those puppets she thought were her 'subjects.'

Kakashi stood not far away watching this side, and couldn't help but mutter.

"This Queen..."

"What's wrong?"

Naruto asked strangely.

Kakashi glanced at Naruto and said: "Can't you even see this? You shouldn't have even been in a relationship."

Crack!!

It was like hearing the sound of an arrow piercing the heart.

Naruto fell into petrification, received a critical hit in an instant, and felt that he had shattered into countless pieces.

Kakashi didn't bother with Naruto and also jumped down from the high tower.

Below.

Suddenly brought down from the high tower by Lu Chen, Sarah was startled and subconsciously hugged Lu Chen. After landing, she hurriedly let go, just wanting to say 'we don't have any relationship yet,' and then she suddenly fell into astonishment.

She noticed that those who were waving various things and chanting her name to praise her 'subjects' were all puppet dolls!

"How could this be..."

A trace of shock appeared on Sarah's face...

She pushed away a few puppets with difficulty, only to find that those behind were all puppets, and there was not a single living person.

"You see it now."

Lu Chen looked at Sarah and said: "According to my investigation, Mukade used the alias Anrokuzan. After your mother died, he used the energy of the Dragon Vein to manufacture various puppet weapons and forced all your subjects to work as labor."

"This kind of thing... how could it be..."

Sarah's gaze trembled, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

And almost at this moment, the nearby puppet dolls suddenly froze.

Immediately after, several puppet dolls shattered into pieces and then spliced together into a large puppet, holding a huge scythe, and slashed fiercely toward her.

Crash!!

Lu Chen's expression was calm. He took a step forward, lightning light intertwined on his left hand, and he swept it casually toward the scythe. The scythe, along with the entire puppet behind it, disintegrated into countless pieces.

"You see clearly this time, right?"

Lu Chen looked at Sarah, who was hiding, and spoke.

Sarah bit her lip. Although she still couldn't believe it, the facts before her eyes forced her to believe it, and emotions of bewilderment, helplessness, and so on surged in her heart in an instant.

And just at this moment, Lu Chen reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, saying: "Tell me where the source of the Dragon Vein power is, and I will help you."

Sarah's body trembled, and she looked up at Lu Chen. The trembling in her gaze gradually calmed down, and a glimmer of light emerged again.

"... Hmm!"

Sarah took a deep breath and became firm again. She threw away the Queen's headscarf, tore off her coat, shredded her long skirt, clenched her fists, and said: "I'll take you there!"

Kakashi stood not far away watching this side and sighed: "As expected, there's another woman who has ideas about Big Brother. This time it's even a Queen... It's really troublesome."

Just when Kakashi was sighing.

Crack! Crack!!

A sound of cracking suddenly came from underground, and then the earth suddenly shattered, and a large number of puppets surged out from underground.

Kakashi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took a few steps back.
