Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Aoba guessed correctly; it was indeed here.

However, it seems that he was unlucky and almost died on the spot, with half of his body submerged in the energy pool.

Anyone else would have been torn to shreds by that terrifying energy long ago.

With Aoba's current medical expertise, he could immediately tell that there was a force within Yamato resisting the erosion of the dragon vein, which was why Yamato had been unconscious.

Amazing interstitial cells!

It's like a cheat code.

This is why Yamato only appears at the end of the movie; he was originally supposed to be saved by Kakashi, but now it's him who saves him.

However, he dared not approach easily. The energy in the core area of ​​the dragon vein was too violent, and even with his current physical strength, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

With a thought, dark red sand flowed out of the gourd behind him once again.

A thin, long rope of sand, like a serpent emerging from its hole, coiled towards Yamato.

The sand rope gently wrapped around Yamato's body and slowly pulled him backward.

However, just as the sand came into contact with Yamato's body and inevitably became tainted with a trace of the energy aura emanating from the core of the dragon vein, a sudden change occurred!

A strange fluctuation, completely different from chakra, rushed into his senses along the connection between the sand and him!

hum!

A sharp alarm suddenly sounded from the chip in Aoba's mind.

[WARNING! High-frequency unknown signal detected!]

[Signal source analysis in progress...]

[Error! Non-chakra fluctuation!]

[Data stream detected... attempting to capture...]

[Signal source analysis...determined to be an encrypted electronic data stream!]

Aoba was startled.

What?! Electronic data stream?

He froze, his pupils contracting in shock behind his sunglasses.

How could electronic data streams exist in a world dominated by chakra?

Moreover, it originated from a pure chakra energy body like a dragon vein?

Before he could react, the signal transmitted back through the sand suddenly became stronger.

It was not a fluctuation of some kind of natural energy, but a highly compressed, logically rigorous encoded format.

It's just like……

Someone hid a compressed file inside the dragon vein!

"System, receive and immediately quarantine this data packet, and perform a full system scan and virus removal!"

Aoba calmly issued the order.

[Command being executed... Data packet isolated... Preliminary analysis shows that the data packet is encrypted using a Vigenère cipher.]

[WARNING! The data packet encryption level is too high; brute-force attack is estimated to take 168 hours and 24 minutes.]

It's encrypted!

Aoba felt that his worldview had been completely refreshed.

It took so long to decompress a data packet of unknown origin, more than 160 hours, even with the chip running at full power.

What secrets are hidden within this dragon vein?

However, now is clearly not the time to dwell on this.

He took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

The current environment is not suitable for this research; let's get the people out of the water first.

He manipulated the sand again, this time more carefully, avoiding all energy overflow points, and precisely wrapped it around Yamato's waist, pulling him back from the danger zone.

Looking at Yamato, who was still unconscious, Aoba's heart suddenly raced.

Intercolumnar cells!

These four words instantly magnified in his mind.

In this world, this is almost synonymous with cheats and bugs.

Although he coveted the original Hashirama cells, the "pirated" cells that Yamato had selected and adapted to also possessed immeasurable research value.

Since we've come across this, there's no reason to miss it.

Furthermore, as a pragmatic medical ninja, seeing the only successful Wood Release experiment subject lying in front of him, he felt it would be a disservice to his profession not to do something.

Without any hesitation, Qingye pulled out a thick syringe.

Let's smoke one tube while it's hot.

As the dark red blood filled the syringe, Aoba solemnly sealed it into the scroll.

After doing all this, he placed his palm on Yamato's forehead.

The Art of Mind Reading

Mental energy probed in like tentacles.

They did not encounter much resistance, after all, Yamato was in a deep coma.

The scene flashed by rapidly.

The Konoha Crush... Fifth Hokage Tsunade... Akatsuki... Sarutobi Asuma's death...

Aoba frowned slightly. In Yamato's memory, his identity was still that of a special Jonin in Konoha's intelligence department.

Parallel world!

Aoba made a judgment instantly.

The dragon veins are most likely connected to different parallel spacetime anchor points.

Like a river branching into countless tributaries, Naruto and Yamato came from the downstream of one tributary, while now they are in the upstream of another.

Although the historical process is similar, changes in the "details" will lead to different futures.

Having figured this out, Aoba placed his hands, which glowed with green chakra, on Yamato's chest.

【Palm Magic】

With the injection of a high concentration of Yang attribute chakra, Yamato's originally pale complexion quickly regained its rosy hue.

A few seconds later, those eyes snapped open, filled with the instinctive alertness of a ninja, and the body tensed instantly, about to form hand seals.

"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side."

Aoba pointed to his headband and then to Yamato's iconic Konoha vest. "I don't know which department you're from, but it looks like we're on the same team."

Yamato froze, his gaze fixed on the boy wearing sunglasses in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"Yamashiro...Aoba-senpai?"

Yamato's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment, and his brain went into a brief malfunction due to the intense conflict of information.

"Senior? It seems something has happened that I'm unaware of!"

Qingye stroked his chin thoughtfully, feigning maturity.

"How come you... look younger? Where am I?"

"It's a long story."

Aoba withdrew her hand, looking at him calmly. "How are you feeling now? Can you still fight?"

Yamato rubbed his slightly throbbing head, struggled to his feet, and looked Aoba up and down, taking in his youthful face and height.

It's definitely Yamashiro Aoba!

He is a special Jonin of Konoha and a ninja from the same generation as Kakashi. He is skilled in summoning crows and intelligence gathering!

Although the two belong to different departments and don't interact much, they have met before.

He was certain that the person in front of him was not a transformation.

But the boy in front of him looked a few years younger than Naruto. Although there was a calmness between his brows that was not in line with his age, he did not match the image in his memory at all.

"you……"

Yamato's throat felt dry, and he instinctively wanted to ask a question, but just as he opened his mouth, a dull thud came from the ceiling above him.

Then a violent and evil chakra surge swept down like a storm, causing the energy of the entire core area of ​​the dragon vein to tremble.

Yamato's expression changed; he was all too familiar with this ominous chakra.

It's the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Has Naruto lost control again?

"Oh dear, it seems our conversation will have to come to an end. Although I'm quite interested in your background, there's no time."

Aoba's tone was calm as he looked up with his signature smile. "The battle up there seems to be getting a bit intense. If we don't go up soon, Minato-senpai will scold us."

"Water...Minato?"

Yamato's eyes widened instantly. Before he could react, he felt a tightness around his waist and was pulled off the ground. The wind howled in his ears, and the surrounding scenery rushed past him.

"Let's go!"

With a soft shout, Qingye propelled the two of them upwards at high speed.

This must be Sunagakure's... sand control technique!

And this gourd...

Yamato suddenly felt like his brain wasn't working properly.
