Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"Holy crap?!?!"

Jiraiya's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

Sharingan? And the Mangekyou Sharingan at that?

Is it one of the two kaleidoscopes mentioned in the intelligence?

What the hell is going on here?

He only peeked into the women's bathhouse, how did that attract the attention of a young Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan?

"Wait! Little girl, let me explain! I really was just doing field research... Ah!!"

Jiraiya, in a flustered roll, narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

"boom!"

When the light's slash missed, the accompanying high-frequency lightning release directly sliced ​​open a ten-meter-long, bottomless crack in the metal wall behind Jiraiya!

Looking at the smooth, mirror-like metal cut, cold sweat poured down Jiraiya's forehead in an instant.

This little girl is serious! She wants to split herself in two!

"Lightning Release: Chidori Blade! Die!"

Guang wouldn't listen to any explanation.

Her mind is now filled with thoughts of tearing the culprit who wrote those "shameless" books to pieces, in order to cleanse her brain, which had been contaminated a few days ago.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The corridor instantly transformed into a demolition site, with violent blade flashes and lightning strikes shredding the surrounding pipes and floor to shreds.

"Hey! Can't you be reasonable? I just peeked through the vent, I didn't even get a clear look at their back, it's not a capital offense!"

Jiraiya frantically used his Body Flicker Technique to run away while covering his head and shouting in grievance.

"Who cares what you're spying on! Those naked actions! You disgusting bug!"

Guang roared angrily, his face flushed, and the kaleidoscope red light in his eyes intensified.

"Amaterasu!!!"

Where the gaze focused, a ball of pitch-black flame ignited right at Jiraiya's feet!

"Black flames?! Oh no!"

He didn't even bother looking for Orochimaru anymore; he used the walls as a shield, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and fled towards the outer layer of the tower.

"Let's talk this out! What are you, a little girl who's not even an adult, watching 'Make-Out Paradise'? That's an adult world! You can't blame me for this!"

"Shut up! I'm going to cut your hands off, then let's see how you draw those filthy things!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The raging lightning chakra and the pitch-black Amaterasu flames intertwined in the underground corridor, destroying the metal pipes and load-bearing walls along the way.

Jiraiya, wearing wooden clogs, moved like a giant toad, leaping left and right in the narrow space. Although he looked disheveled, a closer look would reveal that he precisely avoided Hikaru's deadly attacks with each landing.

"This little girl doesn't seem to have any murderous intent..."

Jiraiya ran wildly while pondering to himself.

The little girl in the red and white dress behind him, although exuding a murderous aura of "I'm going to chop you into pieces," her every slash and every burst of black flame blocked his escape route.

Instead, they kept pushing him into a closed experimental area deep inside the tower.

"Is she... trying to drive me away?" Jiraiya, a seasoned warrior, quickly sensed something was amiss.

In fact, Jiraiya was absolutely right.

Although Uchiha Hikari was extremely ashamed and indignant because of the book "Icha Icha Paradise," as a core member of "Dawn" who was personally trained by Uchiha Tsuki and even controlled part of the central authority of Loulan, she knew better than anyone how terrifying the city's defenses were.

The barrier surrounding Loulan was a net of heaven and earth personally laid by Yue, combining Yin-Yang Release and the power of the dragon veins. Let alone infiltrating, even a fly carrying chakra approaching would instantly trigger the highest-level alarm in the control center.

This white-haired uncle, who called himself "Toad Immortal," not only sneaked into Loulan unharmed, but even swaggered up to the ventilation shaft of the women's bathhouse in the living area!

How can this be?

There is only one explanation: this is a "fish" that Yue deliberately let in.

"Since you're the one who needs to live, I won't kill you. But... writing those filthy things that pollute my eyes requires some interest first!"

Thinking of this, Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan flashed slightly, and the crimson Susanoo on his body solidified by half in an instant. A huge chakra bone arm burst out of the air and slammed hard onto the ground in front of Jiraiya!

"Bang--!!!"

The metal floor exploded with a deafening roar, and the massive shockwave forced Jiraiya into a dead end.

"Dead end?"

Jiraiya stopped, turned around, looked at Uchiha Hikaru who was blocking the entrance to the passage, holding a short sword that flashed with lightning, and raised his hands with a wry smile.

"Stop, stop, stop! Little miss, I admit defeat, okay?"

Jiraiya, panting heavily, adopted a surrender posture, but his eyes were still observing the reaction of the light.

"Hmph! Hmph~"

Seeing that Jiraiya had stopped resisting, Uchiha Hikaru had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and the Susanoo on his body completely dissipated.

What kind of legendary Sannin are these? They have no backbone whatsoever! Writing such vulgar books is one thing, but to be so shameless is another!

Hikaru curled his lip in disdain, took out a bundle of specially made rope mixed with chakra-conducting metal from his ninja tool bag, and threw it over with a "whoosh".

"Tie yourself up! If you try anything funny, I'll chop your hands off!" Guang threatened viciously.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're in charge, little miss."

Jiraiya chuckled as he picked up the rope and pretended to wrap it around his wrist a few times. It was a slipknot that he could easily break free of with a little effort.

He certainly wasn't truly surrendering. With his strength and the trump card of his psychic abilities, if he really wanted to fight, he could tear a hole even in this den of dragons and tigers.

However, his main purpose in coming here was to find out Orochimaru's whereabouts and the details of this underground city.

Since this kaleidoscope-loving girl wanted to send him to see the real person, he might as well half-heartedly become a "prisoner" and go deep into the enemy camp to find out what was going on.

"Let's go, you white-haired pervert."

Hikaru stepped forward and, as if carrying a large garbage bag, roughly grabbed Jiraiya's clothes from the back, pushing him toward the top-floor laboratory of the tower.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle, be gentle! I am a hero of Konoha..."

Jiraiya accompanied the others with exaggerated cries of pain, but his eyes imprinted every piece of machinery he saw along the way into his mind.

Chapter 139 Orochimaru: I never expected to see you like this, Jiraiya.

"Click—Sizzle—"

The heavy alloy doors slid open slowly to both sides.

With Jiraiya, who was "bound hand and foot," he was led into this spacious, top-tier research and development area.

"Moon! I caught a big toad that sneaked in."

Hikaru pushed Jiraiya forward, his voice regaining its usual coldness, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of grievance, as if he were complaining, "This guy... this guy is a pervert who wrote the Book of Flow!"

"What obscene book?"

His attention was completely drawn to Guang's words, "Write down the book."

It's important to understand that in Yue's mind, Uchiha Hikaru was always a "blank slate" who lacked common sense and had no concept of worldly affairs except for drawing his sword to kill people.

"Oh?" Yue suddenly felt a mischievous glint in her eye.

He put down his coffee cup, leaned forward slightly, and feigned surprise, drawing out his words:

"How strange! Our little tool, Guang, actually knows what a 'dirty book' is? Come on, tell Yue, where did you see this kind of book? What was written in it that made you so angry?"

"me……"

As soon as these deadly questions were asked, Uchiha Hikaru's originally snow-white face turned bright red!

The blush even spread all the way down to her fair neck and the tips of her ears!

How dare she say that?!

Should I tell Yue that I sneaked into his private study in the middle of the night, pried open the bottommost encrypted compartment, and saw all the pictures of him secretly keeping "Icha Icha Paradise," a book filled with illustrations of naked people fighting?!

"I...I didn't see it! He shouted it himself!"

Guang guiltily looked away and stammered a forced explanation:

"He...he was just peeping through the ventilation shaft of the women's bathhouse! I caught him and he yelled that he was some kind of Toad Sage, a writer! Anyone who can write that kind of book and do something like peeping...he's definitely a pervert!"

Jiraiya, who had been pushed to the ground, finally recovered from his extreme shock at seeing Orochimaru.

Seeing the atmosphere, he immediately seized the opportunity to make a joke, writhing on the ground like an old rogue and shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Hey! Chief! You must stand up for me! That's not a vulgar book! That's art! It's a masterpiece exploring the deep bonds between men and women, 'Intimate Paradise'! I only wrote it to find inspiration... mmm!"

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Hikaru, filled with shame and indignation, stomped on his back with such force that the face of the legendary Sannin was pressed into the floor.

"Shut up! You filthy worm!"

"Icha Icha Paradise...?"

Toad Sage? Peeping in the women's bathhouse?

In an instant, Yue connected these clues in her mind.

He glanced at the man on the ground with long, white, lion-like hair and red marks around his eyes, then at Uchiha Hikaru, who was so guilty he didn't even dare to lift his head, and recalled the sealed secret compartment at the bottom of his study.

Case solved.

That brat definitely went through his private collection of books, and she just happened to run into the book's original author!

"..."

Uchiha Yue felt three black lines instantly slide down his forehead.

He shot himself in the foot; his attempt to flirt with a young girl backfired, revealing that he was secretly keeping erotic books.

He tactically picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and forcibly concealed the embarrassment in his eyes, deciding to magnanimously skip the topic.

During the brief half-minute of their banter, Jiraiya, who was being trampled under Hikaru's feet, pretended to be in pain, crying out "Ouch, ouch!" and putting on a comical, unsuspecting act.
