Chapter 201 Clay Doll
"here it is?"
Looking at the Kingdom of Loulan, where high-rise buildings are lined up one after another and the prosperity is even better than the Sand Village, Maki's eyes are full of disbelief.
Especially in Loulan, it is like a rare oasis in the desert.
There is a huge difference between the internal environment and the external observation. Even if you have overestimated Loulan's strength as much as possible from the outside, after entering, you will find that you still inevitably underestimate Loulan's development.
"You're so quick, are the defenses so tight?"
Lu Nie's eyes suddenly looked into the distance. His memory of this period was a little vague, he only remembered that there was a dragon vein power that could affect time and space. But now, what he felt surprised him.
"What is it?" Maki also followed Lu Nie's gaze and looked into the distance, only to see a few black spots approaching them quickly from a high altitude.
But in the blink of an eye, they vaguely saw those black spots, which were some puppet creatures with round bodies and puppet-like limbs.
They were flying towards this side from mid-air with great momentum, and even the mechanisms on their bodies had begun to reveal themselves. They did not hesitate or turn at all, and it was obvious that they were sure of the presence of these invaders.
"It's a barrier." Itachi said softly, thinking of the faint strange feeling he had felt before.
No one had imagined that this small country, like the big ninja village, would be protected by a barrier!
To put it bluntly, barrier ninjutsu is as precious as sealing ninjutsu! Especially this kind of barrier ninjutsu that covers a large area of perception, it is only a large ninja village that can be established and perfected.
Because its threshold is extremely high! Not only does it require a large number of ninjas who are proficient in sealing techniques and perception ninjutsu, as well as proficient in various skills, but it also requires a lot of investment and a certain amount of time to fully construct it.
This is a group ninjutsu that can only be put into practical use if there is a complete talent training mechanism.
Loulan is just a small country. Although their queen may have some unique powers, it cannot be compared with large ninja villages like the Sand Village.
The rebel ninja, Baizu, was described in Maki's mission as just a talented Sand Ninja who was close to the level of Jonin.
Logically speaking, constructing a perception barrier that covers the entire size of Loulan Kingdom is not something that a simple traitor or an accident can do.
"Since we've been discovered, let's test it first."
Lu Ne didn't want to leave immediately. He winked at Itachi and Asuma, and the two of them took out their weapons from their pockets tacitly. Then they moved forward with their arms in a V shape and rushed towards the enemy.
"Be careful, that should be a puppet show with centipedes. They are immortal and difficult to deal with. Don't get entangled with them. Find the controller of the puppet!"
Maki warned when Itachi and the other rushed forward. Of course, he did not remind them to "evacuate as soon as possible if they cannot find it." He thought that Lu Nie could not have not considered this. Since he insisted on doing this, he obviously had his own plan and was confident that he could lead them to evacuate safely.
He didn't follow because he noticed that Lu Nie was staring at him.
"I can explain." Maki hesitated for a moment, and did not avoid the shadow under his feet that was connected with Lu Nie. Faced with the possibility that he might lose control at any time, he raised his hands with a wry smile.
"You concealed a lot of details of this mission. This is not what an ally should do." Lu Nie observed the battle that had already begun over there and whispered to Maki.
He had no intention of taking action against Maki. He made this gesture only to make Maki realize the situation and stop hiding anything.
"This is not a place to talk." Maki looked at a group of clay puppets flying over from a distance and said nervously, "It's meaningless to fight them. We can't find the puppeteer behind them. These clay puppets have strong recovery ability under the effect of chakra. Once they are dragged, they will be overwhelmed by more and more clay puppets."
Facts also proved that Maki was not lying. After Itachi and Asuma dismantled several clay dolls, they quickly returned to their original state and began to cooperate in a meticulous manner, gradually compressing the space for the two to dodge.
From an actual combat perspective, these clay puppets can all be considered to be at the Chunin level.
Itachi even activated his Sharingan during the battle.
After observing the strength and coordination of these clay puppets, Lu Ne had no intention of continuing to fight with them. After Itachi and Asuma once again defeated the several clay puppets that besieged them, he took advantage of their recovery time to pull Itachi and Asuma into the shadow of the building.
Then the four of them disappeared into the shadows.
The clay puppet, having lost its target, surveyed its surroundings and then rose high into the sky again.
……
The basement of a tall tower.
In a dark and empty hall, countless images were flashing around like stickers. If you looked carefully, you could see that the images showed a certain area in Loulan.
On a chair in the middle of the hall, sat a man with a gloomy and stern face, behind him were two thin figures, in front of him was the scene of Itachi and his friends fighting with the clay dolls and disappearing.
The light in the picture hit the man's face, making his face look somewhat eerie in the darkness.
"The Sand Ninja actually found this adult? This is a bit tricky." The man's eyes fell on the picture frozen on Lu Nie's face, and he frowned slightly, but then relaxed his brows.
“However, after all, he is only a person of this era. If I can obtain this adult’s body, it should be able to make my puppet secrets more advanced, right?
As it happens, I have the technology to deal with the shadow secret technique."
The man's voice became fainter in the darkness, and finally after the light from the screen faded, he disappeared into the hall with a mechanical clicking sound.
Then, another similar figure sat woodenly on the chair in the center.
……
"It should be safe here for now."
After being thrown out from the shadows, Lu Nie looked around and found a place similar to an underground sewer, and spoke out.
Itachi and Asuma were also somewhat surprised about their previous journey in the shadows. They had not expected that the Nara clan's secret shadow technique actually had such a peculiar technique of using shadows to hide themselves and escape!
"Next, you should be able to tell me the information you know, Maki Jonin?" Lu Nie's gaze fell on Maki's face.
