Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

A slightly mocking voice drifted out from in front of Jiraiya without warning.

"Who?"

Jiraiya's hair stood on end in that instant!

He even scrambled backward, staring intently at the air in front of him.

Less than ten meters away from him, the previously peaceful space suddenly seemed to be torn apart by a giant hand.

Wearing a black trench coat, with one hand in his pocket, Uchiha Yue strolled leisurely out of the spatial rift.

He raised his head, his Mangekyou Sharingan, radiating an eerie red glow, surveying with interest the plants that were taller than buildings around him, as well as the giant toad statues in the distance.

"Is this... Mount Myōboku?"

Chapter 142 The So-Called 'Destiny'

"Gudong."

Jiraiya swallowed hard.

"You...how could you have followed me here?"

This is reverse psychic magic!

It is an absolute barrier built upon the exclusive contract and spatial coordinates passed down for thousands of years in Mount Myoboku!

Even the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was proficient in space-time ninjutsu, could never have forcibly crossed over to this sacred land using the Flying Thunder God Technique without signing a contract with Mount Myōboku!

But this man in front of me actually walked in boldly, following the remaining spatial ripples, as if tearing open a window!

This isn't a question of strength or weakness; this is an existence that completely disregards the rules.

Is it difficult?

Uchiha Tsukuyomi spoke in a flat tone, as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.

“Every door has a keyhole; and every keyhole has a way to make a copy. The encryption algorithm for your sacred lands of spirit beasts is far more rudimentary than that of the dragon vein nodes of Loulan.”

As Yue spoke, she strolled freely across this land, which was hailed as one of the three holy sites.

Fukasaku and Shima, no longer caring about their exhaustion, jumped onto Jiraiya's shoulders as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Jiraiya, be careful! This guy can forcibly tear apart the barrier of Mount Myōboku. His strength is even more terrifying than what we just saw!" Fukasaku warned in a low voice.

"Damn it... Am I really going to die here today?" Jiraiya gritted his teeth, quietly gathering the little chakra he had left.

However, Uchiha Tsuki ignored their tense demeanor.

He closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath of the rich, almost tangible, natural energy of Mount Myōboku.

"So this is one of the sources of natural energy... It's definitely different from the violent and chaotic energy of the dragon vein."

Yue opened her eyes, her gaze passing over Jiraiya and looking towards the deepest part of Mount Myōboku—that majestic temple.

In his Mangekyou Sharingan vision, what resided in that temple was not ordinary Sage Chakra, but a terrifying energy source as vast as an abyss, accumulated over thousands of years!

The density and purity of that natural energy had even subtly transcended the realm of "immortal arts," beginning to transform into a realm beyond mortal comprehension.

A prototype of the [Divine Art: Ten Directions], which is almost only accessible to the legendary Otsutsuki clan!

The Great Toad Sage, Toad Pill.

This old monster, who has lived for over a thousand years, once guided the Sage of Six Paths brothers in their fight against Kaguya Otsutsuki, and has been guiding the entire history of the ninja world from behind the scenes with his "prophetic dreams"!

If Black Zetsu is the hidden force that drives the wheels of history from the shadows;

So this old toad is the mastermind behind the scenes, sitting high on the holy ground, holding the "Fate Observer," and distributing walkthrough guides to the "Chosen Ones" of each generation!

"Since we're already here, it would be extremely impolite not to meet this legendary prophet."

Yue chuckled lightly, ignoring Jiraiya's guard, and walked straight toward the temple.

"Halt!" Jiraiya shouted, blocking Yue's path. "The sacred grounds of Mount Myōboku are not a place for someone of unknown origin like you to trespass!"

"Jiraiya, I'm in a good mood today."

He stopped in his tracks, and those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes gave him a cold glance.

“But I was just reprimanding you outside because you saw something you shouldn’t have and angered my little girl. Now, I’m here to talk to your ‘master’ about some serious business, and he didn’t refuse, so why are you refusing?”

Just as tensions were about to rise...

"Little Jiraiya... let him in."

An ancient voice, resonating deep within everyone's souls, slowly drifted from the direction of the temple.

Upon hearing this voice, Fukasaku and Shima immediately bowed their heads respectfully: "Master..."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, though extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to make way.

With a slight smile, she put her hands in her pockets and calmly stepped onto the long stone steps leading to the temple.

……

Inside the main hall of Mount Myoboku.

Beneath the enormous screen bearing the character "仙" (immortal), a huge old toad wearing a necklace engraved with the character "油" (oil) sits on a futon in the center of a large pool, its eyes half-closed.

It was so old that it seemed even breathing required a great deal of effort.

But this is precisely the Giant Toad Immortal's Toad Pill.

The moment Uchiha Tsuki stepped into the main hall, Gamamaru's cloudy eyes opened slightly.

Although he had already learned about Uchiha Tsukuyomi from Jiraiya,

But when he looked at this person who didn't exist in "fate," he still felt a slight tremor in his heart.

"you……"

As a sage with the ability to "prophesy," Gamamaru's perspective is completely different from that of ordinary people.

The “dream” it sees is essentially a “degraded version” of the destiny trajectory planned by the underlying rules of this world, the World Correction Force.

It can see the turning points in history and the trajectory of destiny.

In its prophecy: the boy with azure eyes will eventually call out the name of his companion, the twins destined to be reconciled in the Valley of the End, and the conspiracy hidden behind the mask will be shattered... These historical moments, nailed by the "corrective force," still stand out clearly on the timeline of the future!

Fate, it seems, has not changed.

but……

Gamamaru stared intently at Uchiha Tsuki, who was standing in front of him.

The chakra and Yin Release aura emanating from this man were so high in rank and so powerful that they were even capable of forcibly tearing apart the barriers of space, enough to stir up a storm in an era!

Such a terrifying being with super-kage level power would cause a huge butterfly effect in the world with just his breath!

He will absolutely and inevitably be deeply involved in those "critical junctures of destiny"!

But a chilling paradox emerged.

In all the future timelines that Gamamaru "saw"... there was still no sign of Uchiha Tsuki!

No! Not even a tiny bit!

This man, who possessed the power to change the world, was like a completely non-existent "ghost" in the script of fate for this world!

This is what truly horrified Gamamaru!

Despite the existence of the powerful Uchiha Tsuki, his fate remained unchanged, and he was not even involved in the events.

This bizarre, twisted, and contradictory future sent a chill down the spine of the thousand-year-old toad immortal.

His "predictions of the future" no longer work?

"It seems that the Great Toad Sage has seen something that is puzzling you."

Uchiha Yue walked to the edge of the pool, neither bowing nor showing any reverence for this thousand-year-old sage.

He just stared at the old toad.

"Nice to meet you. You've probably heard of me before. I am Uchiha Yue."

As Yue spoke softly, the starlight pattern in her eyes slowly disappeared.

Gamamaru took a deep breath, his cloudy eyes fixed on the moon.

"I have lived for a thousand years and claim to have seen through the vicissitudes of this world..."

Gamamaru's voice carried an unprecedented weariness and awe, "But you...you are a paradox that doesn't exist in the 'script.' I see the wheels of history still turning, but I can't see the hands pushing them."

"What will the future hold? I don't know now."

"Nice to meet you, I am Gamamaru."

Chapter 143 Are you willing to join the ranks of all living beings?

Upon hearing the sincerity of this ancient immortal, Uchiha Yue smiled calmly.

He didn't go any further, but instead sat down on a blue stone by the pool.

"Fate is indeed something that is very difficult to change."

The moon's voice was calm and lingering, echoing in the empty hall, "It's like a rushing river, with extremely rigorous underlying logic and a self-correcting ability. If you forcibly build a dam in the middle reaches, it will surely turn into a flood and swallow you up; but if you follow its flow and quietly dig out tributaries in the riverbed..."

Yue leaned forward slightly, her gaze passing over the pool to look at Gamamaru: "When tributaries converge into the sea, the original riverbed naturally dries up."

"What...what exactly did you do?"

Standing on Jiraiya's shoulder, Fukasaku, the old toad with a wealth of experience, couldn't help but speak up. He felt a pang of fear.

"I didn't do anything special. I just set up a little game in the mortal world while you were sitting high in this holy place, dreaming with your eyes closed."

Yue casually counted on her fingers: "As for the four countries, the fourth Kazekage Rasa of the Land of Wind, the fourth Raikage A of the Land of Lightning, and the third Tsuchikage Onoki of the Land of Earth... are now all part of my 'Heaven's Will Plan' and have become executors of my will."

"As for Konoha..." Yue chuckled lightly, "Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, these two brothers, are already in the quagmire I tailored for them, step by step moving towards the place I need them to be."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya, who was standing to the side, was struck dumb, and froze on the spot!

"The Fourth Kazekage, the Raikage, the Tsuchikage... even the old man and Danzo..." Jiraiya's eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his vest.
