The walls of the palace were smashed open on all four sides.
Countless puppets surrounded them.
"This is my puppet army!"
An Lushan spread his arms wide and said arrogantly, "You are the first ninjas to die at their hands, you should feel honored!"
Rasengan!
Minato Namikaze rushed in front of him and hurled a high-speed, compressed, spinning chakra ball.
Puppet Transformation: Puppet Spinning Strike!
An Lushan had already anticipated this.
After all, Minato Namikaze had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan.
A gear-like sound rang out.
Spiraling blades emerged from An Lushan's entire body.
The blade pierced through the Rasengan and headed straight for Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze immediately disappeared.
He returned to his original position, frowning involuntarily.
Although Minato Namikaze's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan made his enemies tremble with fear, he had a rather embarrassing problem.
That is, his attack is insufficient; his most effective offensive ninjutsu is the Rasengan.
Once the Rasengan is no longer effective, he has no way to deal with the enemy.
Just like now.
After An Lushan was transformed into a puppet, he became connected to the dragon vein, gaining super strong defensive and regenerative abilities.
Minato Namikaze's Rasengan had absolutely no effect on him.
In fact, it's not just the Rasengan.
In the original work, Naruto's Wind Release: Rasengan Shadow Shuriken had no effect.
Ultimately, it was only through the combined efforts of the father and son, using the Tai Chi Rasengan, that they defeated An Lushan.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto Uzumaki then created hundreds more shadow clones.
"Wind Release: Shuriken!"
All of Naruto's shadow clones threw out shuriken.
Exploding Arrow!
Hinata Hyuga immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow.
The explosive arrows arrived in front of An Lushan first.
An Lushan grabbed the exploding arrow.
With a loud bang!
The explosive arrow detonated.
But it had no effect on An Lushan.
Because he is now a puppet, not a human.
At that moment, a dense barrage of shuriken followed closely behind.
An Lushan casually waved his hand, and purple chakra formed a solid chakra wall in front of him.
All the shuriken were blocked.
However, the puppets near him suffered the consequences, being reduced to dust by the Wind Release: Shuriken attack.
However, this number has absolutely no impact compared to the almost infinite number of puppets.
"Use multiple arrows."
Neji Hyuga reminded him.
"Ah."
Hinata Hyuga immediately turned her attention to the puppet.
Like her, the father and son, Shino and Shiki, also raised their hands at the same time.
A large number of parasitic insects flew towards the puppets around them.
Although a puppet is an inanimate object, it has joints and other parts.
Under the gnawing of parasitic insects, many puppets lost their ability to move and collapsed.
A piercing bird cry rang out.
Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha charged toward An Lushan from the left and right respectively.
They have discovered Minato Namikaze's predicament.
While their Lightning Release: Chidori is not as powerful as the Rasengan, its penetrating power far surpasses that of the Rasengan.
Puppet Transformation: Dragon Vein Fireball!
An Lushan, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for his death.
He tilted his head back and spat out two huge purple fireballs in succession.
Three-tomoe Sharingan!
Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha easily dodged the purple fireball.
They leaped up, and the lightning in their hands sliced into An Lushan's body like a knife.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
An Lushan's arms sprouted blades, which he used to slash directly at Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha.
The two immediately stepped back, creating distance between them.
Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two massive penetrating wounds on An Lushan's body inflicted by Lightning Release: Lightning Blade.
Puppetization - Super-Fast Regeneration!
An Lushan's body emitted a large amount of purple chakra.
The massive penetrating wound healed completely in the blink of an eye.
Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, and the others immediately paled, sensing something was wrong.
"If his connection with the dragon vein is not severed, he cannot be defeated."
Kitazawa spoke slowly.
Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback.
He suddenly realized a problem.
That is, Kitazawa stood still the whole time and did not use any ninjutsu.
It's impossible to say he can't.
Judging from Naruto's description, Kitazawa must be an elite Jonin.
"We split into two groups."
Bei Ze continued, "One side stays behind to block An Lushan, while the other side goes to find the Loulan Queen to shut down the power of the dragon vein."
"I'll stay."
Minato Namikaze said without hesitation.
An Lushan was clearly the most dangerous.
However, he possesses the Flying Thunder God technique, which can hold off An Lushan.
"I'll stay too!"
"I can't believe it," Yu Nu Zhiwei quickly replied.
"You all leave."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Minato-senpai and I will stay."
Do you think I don't exist?
Upon hearing this, An Lushan angrily retorted, "None of you are leaving!"
The nearby puppets immediately intensified their attacks.
"I'll take you there!"
Minato Namikaze quickly said.
In this situation, only his Flying Thunder God Technique can allow him to escape the encirclement.
"No need for that."
Kitazawa activated Yang Release Chakra Mode and then suddenly clapped his hands together.
He didn't take action before because he wanted to give his students some training.
After all, once he makes a move, there's no going back; Wood Release currently has the power to end everything.
Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!
Centered on Kitazawa, the ground trembled, and countless vines flew towards the sky, instantly transforming into towering trees.
In less than a second, the entire palace ruins were replaced by a primeval forest.
"Wood Release?"
Minato Namikaze and Shimi Aburame stared wide-eyed, their faces showing disbelief.
Although Naruto Uzumaki and Shino Aburame mentioned Kitazawa before, they only talked about how Kitazawa taught them ninjutsu, and did not mention Wood Release.
"Are you Kitazawa?"
An Lushan blurted out.
He came from Sunagakure, so he naturally knew Kitazawa's reputation as a Wood Release ninja.
But he never expected that he would end up in Loulan and become its enemy.
"So what if it's Wood Release?"
An Lushan realized what was happening and shouted, "I have endless dragon vein power, you can't do anything to me!"
"is it?"
Kitazawa casually waved his hand.
The surrounding giant trees suddenly came to life.
Countless vines and branches entangled the nearby puppets, rendering them unable to move.
An Lushan's pupils contracted, and without hesitation, he ordered the other puppets to fire.
Rumble!
The purple chakra was all slammed into the densely packed giant trees.
In the horrific explosion, the giant tree and the puppets were reduced to dust.
Before An Lushan could even rejoice, those giant trees were reborn once more.
He was startled, but did not lose hope.
Because his dragon vein power is inexhaustible, while Kitazawa's chakra will eventually run out.
"Kakashi, and Shiki, go find Queen Loulan immediately!"
Minato Namikaze also realized this and quickly said, "Only by shutting down the power of the Dragon Vein can we defeat An Lushan!"
"Let's go!"
"Oil Girl Zhiwei quickly called out."
