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

"Crystal Escape - Crystal Wall!!!"

Crimson Lotus slammed her hands on the ground, and before the purple beam of light shot towards her, a tall, pink crystal rose from the earth... Crack!

Seeing this, An Lushan sneered, "The power of blood is nothing more than this."

As Xiao Honglian, who was half-squatting, turned pale, she couldn't help but cross her hands and close her eyes when she saw the purple beam of light approaching.

"Slime Susanoo!"

Chakra energy erupted around Shirahoshi and Guren, then a hand pressed down on the remaining purple light of the dragon vein—BOOM!!!

The explosion kicked up gray dust and smoke, which the puppet could only see after its vision returned.

A towering figure, ten meters tall, appeared before them. If anyone from the Uchiha clan or who had seen Susanoo had seen it, they would immediately recognize that its appearance was almost identical to that of Susanoo.

Shirahoshi crossed her arms and used her chakra to control the slime Susanoo.

Then, the slime's right hand, which had just caught the attack and suffered some damage, began to recover.

Immediately afterwards, Shirahoshi increased her chakra output, and a magatama-like halo appeared on the slime's right hand:

"Slime Susanoo Ninety-Nine!"

"What?!" An Lushan was just a rogue ninja from Sunagakure; he had never witnessed the power of one of the strongest in the world.

A blue energy orb shaped like a magatama shot out from the slime's right hand in the blink of an eye—the remaining three puppets in front of it didn't have time to react—BOOM!!!

Shirahoshi glanced at it with her chakra eye and thought to herself, "That's about it."

It's important to understand that this isn't Susanoo at all; it's just an imitation. Its defensive and offensive capabilities are nowhere near those of a real Susanoo.

After the three dragon vein puppets fell, even more puppets came to support them.

At the same time, a dragon vein puppet landed in a straight line on the three dragon vein puppets that had been rendered useless in front of it. Rope Tree hurriedly landed, still holding up the chakra of the monstrous strength in his hand.

Shirahoshi glanced at it, thinking to herself that Nawaki's mastery of it wasn't quite there yet. Neither its power nor its control was as good as Tsunade's.

"What you just did."

"Is this something only the Sharingan can use?"

When a village produced a user of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it was natural to start searching for all sorts of information about the Uchiha Sharingan.

Rope Tree had also seen the contents of it.

Bai Xing smiled slightly, her tone neither confirming nor denying, and stepped forward, answering as she did so:

"When power reaches a certain level."

"Any power can be imitated."

At the same moment, the smoke and dust ahead were dispersed by a gentle breeze, revealing almost all of An Lushan's puppet troops currently deployed in the sky.

Seventy-one.

"Puppet manipulation isn't something only you can do." Bai Xing looked up, her tone not flustered but rather stimulating.

Then, both Rope Tree and Red Lotus were surprised to find that their bodies were out of control for a moment.

"You bastard, Dean!!"

"Teacher!! Guren is really no good!!!"

Shirahoshi stood in front, hands behind her back, chakra threads precisely connecting the two, and smiled:

"The dean believes in you."

"You are the code name candidates favored by the dean."

"You can't say no!"

Next, Nawaki and Guren both began to act. Guren discovered that Shirahoshi was unconsciously mobilizing the chakra within her body, and Nawaki had the same situation.

Moreover, both of them have acquired the ability to fly!

"How is this possible?! Puppetry shouldn't allow for flight without special circumstances!! How did you do that?!"

Seeing Rope Tree and Crimson Lotus clashing with the puppet army in the air, An Lushan seemed to have gone mad. His puppets were only able to fly by using the tall tower above them, while Shirahoshi's did not.

"Since that's the case, let me destroy your men and then send you to hell!!!"

shhhhh--

boom! boom! boom!

Chakra bullets, chakra cannons, and various purple energy beams burst forth from the inner city, their terrifying attacks piercing through towering buildings.

However, both Nawaki and Guren were completely evaded by Shirahoshi's control. At this moment, the two seemed to have transformed into experienced warriors, holding kunai made of slime in their hands, and flying forward.

scoff-

The spiraling iron rings that resembled a meat grinder, and the white steel cone weapon, were actually cut open at an angle by the rope tree's slime kunai, and the puppet soldier's right hand was also cut in half.

Nawaki looked incredulous, wondering how he could possibly have done such a thing, and at the same time, he became even more wary of Shirahoshi's strength.

"Is it really true that it's harder to control a body that isn't your own?"

Shirahoshi's chakra eyes saw it very clearly; if the force just now had been refined a little more, that arm should have...

boom--

A dragon vein clay golem appeared in front of Bai Xing, the iron cone that had just been fired shot out from its chest. Bai Xing sneered, "So that's how it is."

"So, unable to deal with my men, you've come after me instead?"

Upon hearing this, An Lushan laughed instead of admitting his guilt: "With your hands gone, you are now nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter."

The moment the iron cones shot towards them, a formidable claw erupted from the sole of Shirahoshi's shoe, not only blocking all the iron cones propelled by purple chakra but also piercing through the entire body of the Dragon Vein Puppet before retracting.

"I was just playing around with you for no reason."

"You don't actually think you're strong enough to fight against a strong opponent, do you?"

After Bai Xing finished speaking, she sighed slightly and shook her head.

Then, his tone was full of sarcasm:

"so."

"That would be an insult to the word 'strong'."

Shirahoshi's chakra eyes flickered, a flash of blue light passing by. Then, in the next instant, a stream of attribute-neutral chakra gathered forward from her right eye, and the surrounding magnetic force began to converge in front of the mask's right eye...

"What is this?! What is this?!"

Seeing the direction of Bai Xing's attack, An Lushan immediately sensed something was wrong and got up to run—

"Magnetic Release: Railgun!"

call out--

Rumbling--

In the blink of an eye, terrifying electromagnetic force shot out from in front of Shirahoshi's mask. The terrifying aftershock instantly turned the puppets who tried to block the attack into skewers. Then, the force of the aftershock penetrated the entire second floor of the central tower!

Nawaki and Guren landed on the ground, feeling as if they had been completely ruined, their chakra almost entirely used up by Shirahoshi...

"Tell me, how did you do that?" Nawaki had no idea how Shirahoshi managed to mobilize their chakra and complete such a difficult operation.

"Teacher, indeed, is the strongest, huff—" Honglian lay on the ground, panting heavily.

At that moment, the remaining fifty or so puppets all fell to the ground.

Bai Xing glanced at the rope tree, then looked at the gaping hole in the tower:

"As long as we understand your acupoints, meridians, bones, joints, and other factors."

"Then use my chakra to guide your chakra, and we can fight."

"It's very simple, do you want to learn?"

"???"

Panting, Nawaki thought to himself: How is it easy?! It sounds ten times...no! More than a hundred times harder than the medical ninjutsu his sister wanted him to learn!!!

At that moment, the gray smoke and dust from the tower completely dissipated, and Shirahoshi touched her mask, "Ah-le-le~~~"

"How did he manage to escape?"

"Looks like we'll have to go to the nearest place in the underground dragon vein to have a final battle with him."

“Woooooooo~~~”

Rope Tree: Stare—

You absolutely did that on purpose!!!

"What should we do then?" Rope Tree asked a pointless question, wanting to see what Shirahoshi would do next.

"Of course we'll go down and find him."

"And while you're at it, meet the Queen of this country."

......

"monster."

"That person is a monster!!"

An Lushan fled frantically through the secret passage.

On both sides are secret passage stone walls, and underfoot is a spiral walkway.

An Lushan's face was half gone, but it was slowly recovering. The closer he got to the dragon vein, the faster his face recovered.

Ultimately, the centipede, which transforms itself into a human puppet, is just like the scorpion—it relies solely on its heart.

Furthermore, the origin of the centipede puppet technology is somewhat ambiguous.

After all, the assassination of the Fourth Kazekage and the capture of the Fifth Kazekage in Sunagakure were actually orchestrated by Sasori: a mole within the village.

An Lushan arrived at the end of the corridor, pressed a switch, and the secret passage door in front of him slowly opened; it was multi-layered.

Next, what came into view was a place that resembled an altar: in the center was a dragon vein altar with a strange eye, and around the perimeter was a large bed on which a woman on the verge of death awaited her own demise.

The Loulan Queen, who was in her late thirties, still had a face worthy of the name of queen as she looked at An Lushan, who was arriving in a panic.

Both hands and both legs are chains.
