Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 128 Dream

Rain-Hidden Village.

"Pain, where did you steal such a handsome corpse?" Lone Star clicked her tongue, looking at the handsome young man in front of her. If it weren't for the nail on his face, she would never have guessed that he was controlled by Nagato.

After all, this Pain didn't have the Rinnegan, but it has to be said that these nails added a lot of charm.

She quickly noticed the young Payne's clothes. "Boss, why are you wearing blue? It's easy for people to misunderstand..."

Lone Star deliberately dragged out the last syllable of his words, making them difficult to understand.

"Blue clothes? Is there a problem?" He looked at Lone Star with some confusion.

"Red and blue have always been a classic pairing, haven't you heard?" Lone Star said mysteriously.

"What does CP mean?" His eyes showed increasing confusion.

"It means partner, lover, or a couple; there are many interpretations."

"You don't even know this? You're incredibly ignorant!" Lone Star seized the opportunity to mock him mercilessly.

A dark glint flashed in young Payne's eyes.

Lone Star didn't notice that she was observing the expression on young Payne's face and could tell everything except that he was expressionless.

Perhaps because the corpse had just been made into Payne, her desire to continue mocking vanished instantly. "This is so boring."

Lone Star looked around. "Boss Payne, where's the other teammate?"

Young Payne, having just processed Lone Star's words, said in a calm tone, "Just the two of us."

There was originally one more, but now the team only needs the two of them.

"But why are there only three people in the other two teams?" Lone Star pointed to the two teams in the distance.

"You don't believe in my abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing was immediately speechless, remaining silent for a long while. "You're the boss, you make the decisions!" she said with a forced smile.

Kakuzu and Sasori watched this scene with amusement, thinking, "It's almost unbelievable that the leader of Akatsuki would personally participate in the Chunin Exams."

Konan is doing a little better. Ever since Lone Star joined the Akatsuki, the gentle Nagato from before seems to have returned, but it seems that more than just that has returned.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh. "Nagato, you should be able to figure out what I'm thinking!"

"Your joys and sorrows seem to be swayed by the lonely star."

Xiao Nan hadn't realized that she had changed too, that she had started to smile.

Hidden in a corner, Obito exuded a chilling aura. "Nagato, have you already forgotten about the Eye of the Moon Plan...?"

The Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire.

Hua Ling leaned back in her chair, toying with a kunai in her hand, and looked down. "Father, is this all the Twelve Guardian Ninjas are capable of?"

"That won't hurt me."

Her voice was gentle, but it felt icy cold to the listener.

Hua Ling's gaze lingered mostly on the three, "When they were young, Sarutobi Asuma and Jiraiya turned their sons into fake Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and..."

“Very good, I don’t recognize any of the remaining nine.”

She yawned, looked down, and spoke again, "Father, are there any more tricks we haven't used? If we don't use them now, we'll miss our chance..."

"You unfilial son...you unfilial son..." Daming was trembling with anger, pointing upwards and shouting.

"Unfilial son? How could I be an unfilial son? You're sitting comfortably in your position..." She seemed to have heard a funny joke, and she got down as she spoke.

"You...you are not my son..." Daming shouted loudly, as if he had found a way out.

“You’re absolutely right…my dear father…” she leaned closer and whispered.

After saying this, Hua Ling straightened up and chuckled softly.

"You...you all heard that, right? He said he's not my son. Take him down right now..." The daimyo, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly stood up like a madman and ordered the ninjas in the hall to take down his good son, but no one moved an inch.

"Father, it seems no one believes what you're saying."

"What should we do?"

"Why don't you just be a proper puppet master?" Hua Ling suggested considerately.

"You...you...you..."

Daming pointed at the people in front of him, but before he could say anything, he collapsed to the ground.

"Holy crap, did she really anger him to death?!" Hua Ling was startled and quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and checked his breathing. "Thank goodness, thank goodness, he just fainted from anger."

"Guards, take the daimyo away... heal him." She gave the order, and immediately guards stepped forward and took the daimyo who was lying on the ground away.

After the daimyo was led away from the main hall, Hua Ling looked at the twelve warriors and said with a faint smile, "Either submit or die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Silence... a deathly silence... but this tranquility was soon shattered.

"Not bad, very principled..." Hua Ling said with admiration, as she gently raised her hand.

Apart from the twelve guardian ninjas inside the main hall, everyone else surrounded the twelve people.

Just as her hand was about to fall, one of them knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to submit."

After he started, several others knelt down, and the remaining few were influenced by these people. In the end, all twelve people knelt down to show their submission.

Hua Ling withdrew her hand, and the people surrounding them immediately returned to their positions.

She crossed her arms, glanced around, and said, "Excellent, your choice was very wise."

"That's the end of it. You can all leave now and get some rest for the night."

"There won't be this much free time later."

Having said that, she just lifted her foot to leave and check on Daming's situation.

Just then, a voice made her stop in her tracks, "Your Highness, we can protect you from the shadows now, without needing to rest."

Hua Ling refused outright, "No need, I already have a personal bodyguard."

"As for you, a military department has been established recently. You can report there tomorrow."

Hua Ling gave a brief explanation and then left without lingering.

Just then, Uchiha Shisui returned to the Daimyo's residence. As he entered the hall, he bumped into Hua Ling, who was coming out. "Your Highness, this is a letter that the Third Hokage asked me to personally deliver to you."

When Zhishui returned, Hualing's mood instantly improved, but she didn't show it. She just hummed in response, took the letter but didn't open it immediately, and said, "Zhishui, let's talk as we walk."

After the two left, one of the guard ninjas spoke up, "His Highness just said that he has a personal bodyguard and doesn't need us. Could it be that guy named Shisui?"

"I didn't see anything special about him either!"

"You'll have to ask Asuma about that. They're all from Konoha, so they should know something." Kazuma patted him on the shoulder and looked at Asuma.

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at Asuma.

Asuma paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "You may not have heard of Shisui, but you should have heard of the Uchiha clan!"

"Now that you mention it, I do remember. That man had the Uchiha clan crest on his clothes."

"That...that person is Uchiha Shisui."

“That’s right.” Asuma nodded.

Soon, a slightly disgruntled voice emerged, "What's wrong with the name? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Let me put it this way: those of us who made it into the Twelve Warriors are considered to be quite capable geniuses, but there are barriers even among geniuses."

The man recounted the deeds of Uchiha Shisui, leaving those present looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This isn't just a genius, this is an extraordinary talent!"

"No wonder His Highness looks down on us. With someone like him around, it would be strange if he did."
