The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 560 Mentally Retarded

Minato's gaze swept quickly over Sara, then he turned to Qianyao and said with a smile:

"It seems you've successfully rescued Sarah, Qianyao."

Sarah seemed to wake from a dream, staring at the four unfamiliar faces that had suddenly appeared before her with a face full of confusion, and asked:

"Wait... who are you people? Why are you all here all of a sudden?"

Normally, the ancient city of Loulan is rarely visited, let alone so many strangers appearing at once.

At that moment, five people suddenly rushed in, which surprised and unsettled Sarah.

Minato quickly stepped forward and replied:

"Your Majesty, we are ninjas from Konoha, and we have been ordered by our superiors to come and protect your safety."

Then, he paused briefly before continuing:

"About six years ago, a mysterious ninja who called himself Centipede traveled from the distant future and arrived here."

"At that time, the power of the sleeping dragon vein in Loulan City aroused his covetousness, so he used that powerful force to develop terrifying puppet weapons."

"Stop talking! Don't spout nonsense and make things up here!"

Sarah roared furiously, her voice trembling slightly with rage.

"The person who came here six years ago was not some so-called centipede ninja, but an outstanding man named An Lushan! He was upright, kind, and righteous!"

Sarah took a deep breath and continued:

"Now, An Lushan, as a minister of the court, shoulders heavy responsibilities."

"He not only inherited his mother's unfulfilled wish, but also devoted himself wholeheartedly to the city and worked hard silently."

"How could such a peace-loving and kind-hearted man become a villain who manufactures murder weapons, as you all claim? That's utter nonsense!"

At this point, Sarah couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, how utterly absurd!"

However, at that moment, Qianyao suddenly burst into laughter: "Hehe... idiot."

Immediately afterwards, he turned to Minato beside him and said, "Minato, go and grab someone for me."

Upon hearing this, Minato was taken aback at first, but subconsciously followed Chiyo's orders.

"Yes!" Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Sarah's face flushed red with anger. She glared at Qian Yao and demanded:

"What exactly do you mean? Why are you arresting my people?"

Faced with Sarah's questioning, Qianyao remained unfazed, only coldly replying:

You'll find out soon enough.

Not long after, a figure rushed over like lightning; it was none other than Minato, who had just left.

In the blink of an eye, he landed steadily and ruthlessly threw the person he was carrying at Sarah's feet.

Sarah looked closely and was startled.

Qian Yao preemptively said, "Your people have all been replaced by An Lushan as mindless puppets. Only they would be there, blindly and fanatically cheering."

Sarah stared wide-eyed at the civilian who had just been captured by Watergate, her face filled with astonishment.

She looked the person in front of her up and down in disbelief; it really was a puppet.

If you didn't observe him up close, you would think he was indistinguishable from a real person.

Its realism is astonishing; it's almost impossible to notice unless you pay special attention.

At this moment, Qianyao pointed his finger directly at that person and said to Sarah:

"Queen Sarah, when I say you are mentally challenged, I'm not insulting you, I'm just stating a fact."

He paused, then continued, "As the Queen of a nation, you are in grave danger, yet not a single person has come to rescue or search for you."

"But the people are still cheering wildly in the square. Don't you notice anything unusual?"

"Are they all blind, so much so that they turn a blind eye to your safety?"

"Or perhaps, in their minds, even if you, the most noble queen, were to perish, it would be an insignificant matter?"

A barrage of sharp questions rained down on Sarah like a storm.

She was stunned for a moment, her brain seemed to freeze instantly, and she completely lost the ability to think.

However, after a brief silence, she began to involuntarily recall the various situations that had just occurred, and it seemed... just as Qianyao had said.

Just then, Minato, who had been standing silently to the side, spoke up and added:

"Queen Sarah, if I may be so bold, it is very regrettable that you have been deceived by that man."

These words struck Sarah like a bolt from the blue, making her, who was already in a state of panic, even more fearful and uneasy.

At this moment, Sarah looked suspicious and wary of everything around her.

Suddenly, she raised her hand, trembling, and pointed at Chiyo and Minato, roaring angrily:

"No! I absolutely don't believe it! You two are equally suspicious; you might also be spies sent by the mastermind behind it all!"

Before she finished speaking, Sarah turned and ran wildly down the corridor, her steps faltering as if a demon were chasing her.

"Oh? Queen Sarah, where are you going?"

Seeing this, Naruto hurriedly shouted, but Sara seemed not to hear him and disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Does Sarah not believe such an obvious flaw in front of her?

Sarah glanced back at Qianyao and the others, her eyes resolute, and said:

"I must go and confirm this myself!"

Before she finished speaking, she took light and quick steps and ran off, her petite figure quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"That's just how naive and impulsive young girls are."

"I have no choice but to go and see what's going on, lest she cause any trouble."

Qianyao shook his head helplessly and turned to look at Shuimen, saying:

"You're more familiar with the area, so you should hurry up and find Centipede."

"Carve the Flying Thunder God mark on me, and call me when you find the Centipede."

Minato nodded and replied, "I understand. I'll leave Queen Sara to you."

Minato readily agreed, and as he placed it on Chiyo, a rune flashed.

A unique Flying Thunder God mark was left on Qianyao.

"Don't worry, this little thing is no problem for me."

Qianyao waved confidently, then his figure flashed away.

Like a bolt of lightning, it sped off in the direction Sarah had gone.

Meanwhile, Sarah had successfully boarded a high-tech elevator powered by dragon vein energy.

The elevator ascended smoothly and quickly, carrying her toward the tallest building in the ancient city of Loulan.
