Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

By controlling Yagura, he went on a rampage, slaughtering the clans in the village who possessed bloodline limits, and taking away their wealth, ninja tools, and even corpses as experimental subjects, paving the way for an arms race.

At the same time, this high-pressure terror policy is used to select the most cold-blooded and ruthless killing machines, reserving cannon fodder for the Akatsuki organization to collect tailed beasts in the future.

"Absolutely, notify the Water Shadow and speed up the cleaning process."

Obito stopped in his tracks, a cold red light flashing in his single eye. "Kaguya Clan, Yuki Clan... those disobedient bloodline clans, get rid of them all. I need more funds and test subjects."

……

Meanwhile, on the border of the Land of Water, in the ruins of a remote fishing village.

The torrential rain, mixed with mud and blood, flowed through the potholed streets.

Several ninjas wearing Kirigakure ANBU masks are cornering a couple dressed as civilians.

Behind the couple, there was a boy with rare, long, ice-blue hair and a delicate, almost androgynous appearance.

The boy bit his lip tightly, his hands trembling, and a faint but extremely pure ice-style chakra was unconsciously gathering at his fingertips.

The Snow Clan, White.

"We've found the one who slipped through the net."

The leader of the Kirigakure ANBU sneered, drew his ninja sword, and the blade gleamed with the light of water release. "The Mizukage has ordered that all members of the Yuki clan who have awakened their bloodline limits be killed without mercy! Move out!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the members of the secret service raised their swords and slashed directly at Bai's parents who were protecting him!

"No!" Haku let out a desperate cry, tears streaming down his face. His Ice Release chakra surged forth as he tried to block the falling blade.

But to the well-trained undercover agents, the resistance of an untrained child seemed so weak and powerless.

The blade was about to slice open the throats of Bai's parents—

"Zheng—!!!"

A blinding white bolt of lightning, like a raging dragon tearing through the night, suddenly descended from the sky!

"Clang! Snap!"

With a piercing metallic cracking sound, the ninja swords in the hands of those Kirigakure ANBU were sliced ​​in two with remarkable smoothness the moment they came into contact with the white light!

Not only that, the accompanying ultra-high frequency electromagnetic lightning was directly conducted into their arms through the broken sword, electrocuting several ANBU members until their bodies were charred black, and they were sent flying backward with screams!

"Who goes there?!"

The leader of the Mist Shadow operatives was shocked and leaped back, watching warily as the figure slowly emerged from the rain.

It was a boy wearing a mask and with a silver-white spiky hairstyle.

He wore a peculiar black combat uniform with a rising red sun embroidered on his chest, and held a specially made short blade that emitted crackling lightning upside down in his hand.

Kakashi.

Two years of intensive training in the inner court allowed him to perfectly combine the White Fang Blade Technique with the Lightning Release form transformation.

"Bullying the weak and slaughtering civilians..."

Kakashi's lifeless eyes coldly swept over the Hidden Mist on the ground, his voice devoid of any inflection.

"Is this disgusting behavior what they call the 'Village of Blood Mist'?"

"A Konoha ninja?! How dare you interfere in the internal affairs of Kirigakure!"

The Dark Division captain roared and quickly formed hand seals, unleashing "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A gigantic water dragon roared as it rose from the puddles, its gaping maw snapping at Kakashi.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Before Kakashi could even swing his sword, a massive fireball, over five meters in diameter and carrying terrifyingly high temperatures, shot out from behind him with a deafening roar!

"Sizzle—!!!"

The water dragon collided with the fireball, unleashing a burst of white, high-temperature steam that filled the sky!

Through the fog, a young man wearing goggles and a black robe with a red sun design strode out.

Uchiha Obito!

Obito's right eye had three black tomoe spinning excitedly.

He pushed his goggles up to his forehead, a wildly arrogant smile spreading across his face.

"Hey! You guys from the Mist Village over there! Listen up!"

Obito pointed his thumb at himself and loudly proclaimed:

"We are... [Dawn]!"

"Dawn?" The ANBU captain frowned; he had never heard of such an organization in the ninja world.

"That's right! It's the organization that's here to beat all of you masked bastards who create tragedy to a pulp!"

Obito clenched his fist excitedly, feeling the continuous chakra support from the [Bright Seal] within his body, and his fighting spirit completely boiled over.

"Kakashi! I'll take care of the leader! You protect that family of three!"

"Idiot, don't be careless." Kakashi sighed helplessly, but still obediently stepped back in front of the Haku family, holding the Thunder Blade horizontally in front of his chest.

Haku, hiding behind Kakashi, stared blankly at the group of boys who had suddenly appeared and who didn't even look much older than him.

They... saved themselves?

"Sister, are you also being hunted down because of your bloodline limit?" Bai asked timidly, tugging at the hem of Nohara Rin's clothes as she busied herself bandaging her parents' wounds.

Rin, who was using medical ninjutsu, paused for a moment, then smiled gently and patted Haku's head.

"We are not the ones being hunted."

Lin smiled gently: "We are here to dispel this blood mist."

Chapter 147 Mei Terumi: Who are you calling Auntie?

No sooner had he finished speaking than a muffled bang came from the rain not far away.

Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!

The raging flames, accompanied by the Sharingan's precise perception, transformed into a sweeping vortex of fire, instantly engulfing the Hidden Mist ANBU captain who was trying to escape using the mist.

The screams abruptly stopped as a charred corpse crashed heavily into the muddy water.

"Done!" Obito Uchiha pulled down his goggles, wiped the rain off his face, and gave Kakashi a triumphant thumbs-up. "Hey, white-haired guy, did you see that? I took care of the leader this time. I was faster than you!"

"Idiot, your Fire Release technique is too noisy." Kakashi skillfully flicked the water off his Lightning Blade and swiftly sheathed it, his dead fish eyes full of helplessness. "Making such a commotion during an infiltration mission, are you afraid the other Anbu won't know where we are?"

"Hey, would it kill you to praise me like that?!"

Seeing the two teenagers who had just displayed terrifying lethality now making noise like ordinary children their age, Bai's parents, who had been tense from fright, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Lin, who was bandaging the injured person, smiled as she watched the two bickering, understanding the situation perfectly.

She knew that Obito and Kakashi were deliberately using this relaxed atmosphere to lessen the fear of killing in the hearts of these civilians.

……

Over the next three days, Obito and his two companions not only protected the Haku family, but also rescued many villagers who were fleeing the chaos caused by the Blood Mist.

To protect these unarmed people and to evade the subsequent search by the Hidden Mist Anbu, Obito and his two companions hid them in a secluded sea cave on the edge of the Land of Water's coastline.

These three days were the most wondrous days Bai Yousheng had ever experienced.

He saw that Obito, who always loved to shout, could control the temperature of his Fire Release technique with exquisite skill, grilling sea fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside for everyone.

He saw that Kakashi, who had a cold look in his eyes, always seemed unapproachable, but would clumsily carve small wooden sculptures to "coldly" amuse the children who were still crying at night.

Of course, his favorite was still Sister Lin, who was like an angel. Her hands, which radiated a warm green light, had snatched many lives back from the clutches of death.

On the third night, Haku's father, a survivor of the Snow Clan, looked at the three boys maintaining their ninja tools by the campfire and finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

Over the past three days, he has sensed a kind of sunshine and vitality that could never exist in the Water Kingdom from the words and actions of these three boys.

The kind of unconditional trust that allows one to entrust their back to their comrades is simply a fantasy in the "Land of Blood Mist," a place rife with betrayal.

"You...you really aren't from Kirigakure?"

"Uncle, we come from a place called 'Loulan,' and our organization is called [Dawn]." Obito grinned, revealing a set of white teeth in the firelight. "We're here to find that masked bastard who orchestrated the 'Blood Mist Policy' and give him a good beating!"

Bai's father remained silent for a long time. He and his wife exchanged a glance, a resolute look flashing in their eyes.

These three days together completely put his guard down.

He knew all too well that his family of three could not possibly survive on this island nation shrouded in blood mist.

Even if they wanted to use themselves to get in touch with the people behind him, there was no need to kill the Dark Guard and save so many people in the Blood Mist Village.

“My benefactors… if you truly wish to oppose the Fourth Mizukage’s Blood Mist policy, perhaps I can point you in the right direction.” Haku’s father took a deep breath and lowered his voice:

"In fact, not everyone in Kirigakure submits to this insane massacre of their own kind. Many clans with bloodline limits, as well as some elite ninjas who are dissatisfied with the current state of the village, have already secretly joined forces."

“I originally had a close friend named Gonbei. He was a senior Jonin of Kirigakure, but he defected because he couldn’t bear to execute his comrades. He went underground and was responsible for receiving and transferring us bloodline clan members who were being hunted down.”

“According to the original plan, we should have met him at the nearby ‘Mist Reef’ a few days ago, but the Dark Guard’s hunting team suddenly appeared and disrupted our plans. If I’m not mistaken… if we hadn’t met you that day, my family of three would have died, and Quan Bingwei, who came to meet us, would probably have fallen into the Dark Guard’s trap.”

Haku's father looked at Kakashi earnestly: "Gonbei is a high-level contact for the resistance. If you can find him, you can directly contact the largest resistance force in Kirigakure!"

Kakashi exchanged a glance with Obito and Rin.

Senior Yue once taught them to "leverage momentum," and they never expected to be able to apply it now.

"Mist Reef, is it?" Kakashi stood up, slung his ninja sword behind his back, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his dead fish eyes. "Uncle, lead the way."

……

Late the next night, at Misty Reef.

This is a huge underground cave system hidden in dense sea fog, with a complex and intricate terrain, resembling a maze.

When Obito and his group, guided by Haku's father, had just stepped into the core area of ​​the cave.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Dozens of menacing figures emerged from the shadows of the surrounding stalactites without warning, their cold ninja swords and kunai instantly locking onto them!

"Don't do it! It's me! From the Snow Clan!" White's father quickly raised his hands and shouted.

"Old Xue?!"
