Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Yue walked to the metal table to the side, picked up two intelligence scrolls at random, and tossed them to Tobirama.

Tobirama caught the scroll with one hand, glanced down at the cover, and frowned slightly.

One document is a briefing on the arrival of the Kumogakure delegation in Konoha on December 27th to sign a peace treaty;

The other document is a top-secret tracking record of Konoha's Anbu's recent investigation into Orochimaru's human experiments.

"The signing of the treaty by Kumogakure, Orochimaru's defection... these are all mentioned in the 'script,' unalterable historical moments." Tobirama coldly looked at Tsuki. "What's the point of having me stay and witness these known outcomes? Do you want me to stand by and watch the village be humiliated, to watch my grand-disciple go astray?"

"The result is indeed unchangeable; this is the bottom line of corrective power."

Leaning against the lab table, Yue said slowly, "However, Lord Tobirama, what you should really care about is not 'what happened,' but 'why it happened,' and 'how they responded.'"

"In your timeline, Hiruzen and Danzo are still just passionate young men following you. Do you really know how to teach them? Do you really know what they're thinking? Do you think they'll become qualified leaders just by constantly talking about the 'Will of Fire'?"

Tsuki extended a finger, pointing at the scroll in Tobirama's hand.

"Stay here and see for yourself what 'brilliant' choices they made when faced with extortion from powerful external enemies and the corruption of internal geniuses."

"Only by witnessing this bloody failure with your own eyes can you avoid repeating the same mistakes when you return to your own time and space, and truly know how to correct the two disciples' wrong paths."

Upon hearing these words, Tobirama Senju fell silent.

It must be admitted that Uchiha Tsuki's words struck at his deepest vulnerability.

Those who play politics will all encounter this problem: a qualified successor.

If he could witness firsthand the specific details and logic behind Hiruzen and Danzo's rule in this timeline, it would be invaluable experience for him when he returned to teach his two disciples.

"Since you've spared me, you must need me for something. Tell me, what ulterior motive are you hiding in this predetermined 'script'?"

"A conspiracy? No, it's an open scheme, and also a test where everyone gets what they want."

The smile on Yue's face deepened as he walked up to Tobirama.

“You just told me that because I messed up several…dozens of parallel worlds, the ‘corrective force’ of the remaining worlds has been strengthened. Therefore, at these two upcoming historical junctures, I need to use you to test the sensitivity and resilience of this strengthened corrective force!”

Tobirama's brows furrowed sharply.

"You want to use me as a probe? To test that rule that can erase time and space?"

“Once the correction force determines that history has been forcibly altered and the divine punishment of annihilation is brought down, I, who am in the middle of it, will be the first to bear the brunt. Yue, you Uchiha are indeed born evil.”

Yue ignored Tobirama's sarcasm and continued, "But you possess the Dragon Vein Scroll, which allows you to leave quickly if you encounter danger. I, on the other hand, can test the extent of the subsequent corrective force's impact on the world through your alterations to it. I will share this information with your world later."

Tobirama's mind raced: "What do you want me to do?"

"Orochimaru is currently secretly researching the Impure World Reincarnation Technique that you developed."

"What if, on the night Orochimaru defected, Hiruzen and Danzo led their men to corner him in the laboratory, preparing for that fateful 'master-disciple breakup'... you, the true form of the 'Second Hokage Tobirama Senju,' suddenly appeared before them in the form of an Edo Tensei?"

Fei instantly caught up with Yue's deduction speed!

“In Hiruzen and Danzo’s view, Orochimaru forcibly used an incomplete version of the Impure World Reincarnation in order to escape,” Tobirama murmured.

“That’s right! And from the underlying logic of the corrective force…” Yue continued.

"Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to create chaos and successfully defect. Although this was not in the original rigid 'script of fate,' it perfectly served as a 'reasonable foreshadowing' for Orochimaru to use this technique extensively in the 'Konoha Crush Plan' later!"

The moon made a fleeting gesture in the air: "This is the plot gap where the corrective force can cover up its own lies! I can test this enhanced corrective force by continuously inserting variables and changing the process to a smaller degree, to see exactly where its tolerance and bottom line are!"

"Of course, if the Correction Force takes direct action this time, it can be verified that the Correction Force's monitoring has been strengthened. We will then replan our routes, etc. But this will also allow us to use the Dragon Vein Scroll to escape."

“Of course,” Yue changed the subject, pointing to the sleeve where Tobirama had the scroll hidden, “If the Correction Force’s detection and elimination efforts this time far exceed expectations and directly bring down divine punishment, then it will also verify its current level of supervision. At worst, we can replan our route, and you can use the Dragon Vein Scroll to evacuate unscathed at any time.”

Uchiha Yue bowed slightly and extended his hand to the arrogant Second Hokage:

"Most importantly, don't you want to know what your beloved disciples Hiruzen and Danzo are really thinking?"

"This is a win-win deal. Lord Tobirama will not only receive data on the strength of the corrective force in this test, but also valuable experience in training a successor."

a long time.

Tobirama snorted coldly and slapped away Uchiha Tsuki's outstretched hand without any politeness.

"Uchiha Tsuki, you are a born evil guy. You can even outmaneuver people who travel across time and space to deliver information to you."

The strategist from Konoha paused for a moment, then crossed his arms.

"but……"

"I'll take your plan. Remember to make arrangements for Orochimaru in advance."

Seeing that Tobirama Senju had finally agreed to join the game, Tsukuyomi Uchiha smiled.

"It's a bit late to say this, but it's not too late to say it now."

"Welcome to my world, Tobirama Senju."

Chapter 130 Hiruzen: Why do I feel like I'm seeing my teacher when I compromise?

December 27th, the 54th year of Konoha.

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

Today, Konoha is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and banners symbolizing peace are hung on both sides of the streets.

The delegation from Kumogakure, led by a trusted confidant of the Raikage, passed through the gates of Konoha.

Their dark blue, metallic-sheen multi-functional exoskeleton armor was particularly dazzling in the winter sun, and it stung the nerves of every Konoha ninja.

It was these new weapons manufactured by Loulan and purchased in large quantities by Kumogakure that caused Konoha's defenses to suffer greatly in the local wars of the past two years.

The Hokage Building, top-floor conference room.

After several days of negotiations, the final signing ceremony has finally arrived.

"We have seen Lord Raikage's sincerity, and we are willing to sign this 'Konoha-Kumakuya Peace Alliance Treaty'."

"Of course, in order to demonstrate Konoha's sincerity for peace, we will implement the conditions stipulated in the treaty as soon as possible: Konoha will withdraw from some outposts on the northern border of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire to establish a buffer zone; and all Cloud Village ninjas captured in the Third Shinobi World War and recent conflicts will be returned unconditionally."

The agreement was signed just like that.

Konoha's reason was that they urgently needed to end the war to restore production and recuperate.

As for the Hidden Cloud Village, they were forced to participate in the negotiations under the Raikage's strict orders.

Meanwhile, at the top of a tall tower opposite the Hokage Building.

Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Tsuki were silently watching everything happening in the Hokage's office, braving the winter wind.

“The monkey and Danzo have put the cart before the horse.” Tobirama frowned as he watched the scene of the alliance being handed over below. “Peace should be a ‘result’ achieved through strength, not a ‘goal’ to be compromised.”

"Don't be so quick to get angry, Tobirama-sama."

Uchiha Yue crossed his arms and said, "The show has only just begun. There's more to come."

……

As night fell, all was quiet in Konoha Village.

Within the Cloud Village delegation's encampment, several dark figures darted out like ghosts, heading straight for the Hyuga clan's territory, a prestigious clan in Konoha.

Using a specially designed chakra shielding technique, the leader of the Cloud Village delegation miraculously bypassed the Hyuga's outer sensory barrier and infiltrated the Hyuga main family's mansion.

"Who goes there?!"

Just as the leader of the Cloud Village was about to touch the sleeping, three-year-old Hinata Hyuga, a furious shout rang out like a thunderclap!

Hiashi Hyuga's eyes bulged with veins, and his Byakugan was activated instantly!

"Eight Trigrams - Empty Palm!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Hiashi unleashed an extremely domineering Gentle Fist chakra attack from a distance.

His original intention was simply to injure and subdue the thug so that he could interrogate him alive, but he did not expect that the other party could not even defend against this casual blow!

"boom!"

The corpse slammed against the wall like a rag doll, the disguised night clothes slipped off, revealing the signature Cloud Shadow attire underneath.

"The head of the delegation from Kumogakure?!"

The Hyuga clan members, Konoha ANBU, and the Cloud Village delegation who rushed to the scene all gasped in horror at the sight of the corpses on the ground.

……

The next morning, the Hokage Building was shrouded in thick, dark clouds.

"Outrageous! The Cloud Village delegation actually broke into the Hyuga clan's territory at night, attempting to kidnap the main branch's heir!" Hyuga Hiashi stood angrily in front of the Hokage's desk, his fists clenched. "Hokage-sama, Konoha must demand an explanation from Cloud Village for this! This is blatant provocation!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, took a deep drag on his pipe, and looked worried.

However, before he could even speak to appease her, the Deputy Envoy of Yunyin stormed into the office with a furious expression on his face.

"Konoha must give us an explanation! Our leader simply got lost in your village, yet he was brutally murdered by the head of your Hyuga clan! This is a blatant trampling on peace!"

The deputy envoy of Kumogakure turned the tables, refusing to admit any intention to kidnap the victim, and declared, "If you don't hand over the body of the murderer, Hiashi Hyuga, the Kumogakure army will immediately wipe out Konoha!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Hiashi glared angrily. "He broke into my daughter's bedroom with malicious intent, and the evidence is irrefutable!"

"Evidence? We only see our envoys killed at your hands!" The Cloud Village Deputy Envoy sneered repeatedly, showing no sign of backing down. "If Konoha does not agree to our conditions, the war will resume immediately!"

Having said that, Deputy Envoy Yunyin angrily flicked his sleeve, slammed the door, and left, leaving the room in deathly silence.

Hiruzen's face was extremely gloomy.

He knew, of course, that the Cloud Village was just making excuses, and that the leader was very likely deliberately trying to "die" to extort money. Their real purpose was to get the Byakugan from the Hyuga main family!

"Lord Hokage, if you want to fight, then fight! My Hyuga clan will never back down!" Hiashi said loudly, his spine ramrod straight.

"Hiashi, you may step back." Hiruzen rubbed his temples wearily. "The village will reach a decision."

After Hiashi left, Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura slowly emerged from the shadows behind the office.

"Hiruzen, Konoha can't afford another war right now," Mitokado Homura said first, his voice heavy. "The wounds from the Night of the Nine-Tails haven't healed yet, and the financial hole on the front lines has only just been filled... We need stable development..."

"Are we supposed to bow down to these bandits? And hand over the heroes who protected my daughter?!" Hiruzen glared at his old friends, a fierce struggle raging within him for the sake of his righteous courage.

"For the sake of the overall situation, necessary sacrifices are inevitable."

A cold, sinister voice suddenly rang out.

Hiruzen's pupils contracted; he knew Danzo all too well.

Upon seeing Danzo's calm, unwavering single eye, Hiruzen instantly realized that this guy hiding in the shadows had definitely done something outrageous behind his back!
