Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Upon hearing this "concern," Luo Sha's eyes twitched violently.

He gritted his teeth, recalling the relentless "baby-making mission" in his mansion during this period, and felt a dull pain in his lower back. But when he thought of all the money, his face became kind again: "Thank you... thank you for your concern, Lord Yue. I can still manage."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, standing nearby, snorted coldly; he was willing but unable to do anything about it.

Ray Shadow Ai turned his head away with a dark expression.

Only Mei Terumi covered her red lips with a folding fan, letting out a charming yet gloating chuckle.

"Alright, enough of this small talk."

Uchiha Yue put down his teacup, casually flipped through the data report Sara had submitted, and his expression gradually turned serious.

"I have already reviewed the financial reports and census results of the four major nations for this quarter. The birth rate of newborns in the Land of Wind has surged by 400%, in the Land of Thunder by 350%, and in the Land of Earth and the Land of Water by over 200%... Moreover, the production capacity of the [Furnace Project] has reached expectations, and the supply of weapons and basic machinery to the lower-tier markets of each nation has been fully deployed."

"I am very satisfied with this result."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"but……"

Chapter 163 Seeking to Establish Diplomatic Relations with [United Konoha]

"but……"

Sensing the change in Yue's tone, the four shadows simultaneously felt a chill and straightened their bodies.

"My main purpose for this trip is not for this data." Yue's gaze swept over the four people, and she lightly drew a finger in mid-air, projecting a simulation of a vast starry sky and the river of time onto the center of the conference table.

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the four shadows, Yue spoke slowly and deliberately:

"I plan to break through the space-time barrier in the near future and, on behalf of our world, conduct a formal, cross-space-time negotiation with the ninja world of another 'parallel universe'."

Quiet.

The holographic communication room fell into a deathly silence.

The four powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world were all frozen in place, their faces blank with disbelief.

"Dangdang!"

Onoki lost his balance, his back snapped, and he slumped into the virtual chair.

Mei Terumi, Raikage, and Rasa were also completely blank-minded.

Time travel? Parallel worlds? And establishing diplomatic relations?!

This has completely gone beyond the concept of "ninja"!

Seeing the four people's loss of composure, Uchiha Yue casually said:

"The history of that world is completely different from here. The timeline is roughly 6 to 8 years after the founding of Konoha. There, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha did not break ties; they joined forces to establish an unshakeable alliance, which I call 'United Konoha.' Not long ago, Tobirama Senju from that timeline personally visited Rouran."

Hashirama Senju? Madara Uchiha?

No complete break?!

"Moon...Lord Moon..." Mei Terumi took a deep breath, suppressing her surprise, and tentatively asked, "What do we need to prepare? And what about Konoha...I mean, Konoha in the current world?"

"Konoha?"

Uchiha Tsuki's eyelids drooped slightly:

"This is none of your concern,"

Yue did not explain the "Heaven's Will Plan" to them, nor did she mention the existence of the Otsutsuki or the Correction Force.

"All you need to remember is that the time-space portal will open in one month."

The four actors were deeply shaken.

"Just remember, the time portal will open in one month. You have a month to prepare and decide who will come with me."

"Gentlemen, don't limit your vision to mere 'diplomacy.' Think about it: that was the early days of Konoha's founding, the era when the first and second generation founders of your respective ninja villages were at their peak." Uchiha Tsuki finally tapped the table and cut off the communication power.

As Yue finished speaking, she gently tapped the table with her fingertips.

That's all I have to say. See you in Loulan in a month.

"Om-"

With a soft sound, Uchiha Yue's holographic projection instantly cut off and disappeared in the center of the conference room.

……

The lights in the holographic conference room dimmed, leaving only the four projected images of the shadows staring at each other.

Two full minutes passed without anyone breaking the suffocating silence.

"Gudong."

Finally, it was the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who swallowed hard, breaking the silence.

"What...did he mean just now?" Luo Sha's voice was still a little unsteady.

No one answered him.

Putting aside the fact that Feng Ying was not related to them, they were currently in a state of extreme shock.

But aren't they all cunning old foxes who climbed up the ranks in the power struggles of the ninja world?

Just a moment later, these Kage realized the true meaning of Uchiha Tsuki's words, "It's not just simple diplomacy."

No amount of notes and insights from seniors can compare to personal instruction.

It's not that the older something is, the stronger it becomes, but what kind of sparks can be ignited when new ideas are applied to past geniuses?

Moreover, there were quite a few Six Paths Ninja Tools in that era.

The four projectors in the dimly lit conference room each harbored their own secrets, and none of them dared to break the unspoken agreement.

"Cough cough..."

Onoki cleared his throat first, adopting a serious expression: "Since Lord Tsuki has given the order, I must go back and carefully select manpower. After all, this is Konoha with Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in charge. This 'diplomatic' mission is extremely dangerous. I must take my leave now."

Having said that, Onoki's projection vanished instantly without hesitation.

Lei Ying Ai snorted and cut off the communication with a "whoosh".

"Oh dear, facing those legendary ninjas, this young lady needs to make more preparations to save her life." Mei Terumi smiled at Rasa with her eyes crinkling. "Kazekage, you should also make plans as soon as possible."

With a flash of light, Mei Terumi also vanished without a trace.

In the empty holographic conference room, only Luo Sha remained.

He paused for a few seconds, watching the three old foxes who had vanished in an instant, and then it dawned on him.

"The First Kazekage, Lord Retsuto... Lord Monzaemon's original puppet manual... The first development scroll of Magnet Release..."

Luo Sha slammed his hand on the table, instantly cutting off the communication, and rushed out of Feng Ying's office in a frantic rush.

……

Over the next month, the highest levels of the four major ninja villages remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they were completely immersed in an unprecedented state of "preparation for war".

Although each of the Shadows wished they could do it themselves, reason held them firmly under the Shadow Rocks of their respective villages.

As village leaders, they are the pillars of the village.

If the Kage of the four great ninja villages were to disappear simultaneously, it would not only cause panic and unrest within their respective villages, but also arouse suspicion among those ambitious individuals lurking in the shadows.

No matter how tempting it may be, they must never go there in person.

The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.

In the Tsuchikage's office, Onoki solemnly handed a list stamped with a top-secret seal to his most prized son, Hirotsuchi.

Huang Tu nodded solemnly, "Father, rest assured, even if I have to memorize it by rote, I will bring back the essence of our Yan Yin!"

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi handed a token symbolizing her identity as the Mizukage to Ao, who was wearing a black eyepatch over her right eye.

"Most of the forging techniques for ninja swords have been lost. Go see the First Mizukage, Lord Byakuren, and tell him about the tragic future... Make sure to bring back all the secret techniques of the various clans intact!"

Qing knelt on one knee: "I will not fail you!"

The Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village.

The Fourth Raikage, A, looked at Bi, then at Mabui, and finally chose Mabui.

“Mabui, your intellect and memory are among the best in the village. Your primary objective this time is to gather information about the Six Paths Tools from the Second Raikage's era…”

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure Village.

Rasa looked at Granny Chiyo and the elite Jonin Maki sitting opposite him.

“Elder Chiyo, I have just taken over the power of the Daimyo’s office, and Sunagakure cannot be separated from the Kazekage now.” Rasa unusually lowered his stance. “However, the first Hokage’s Magnet Release development files, as well as the original of the first puppeteer Monzaemon’s ‘White Secret Technique’, are crucial to the future of Sunagakure. This time… I can only trouble you to make the trip in person.”

As for Loulan, Yue simply wanted to establish diplomatic relations with [United Konoha], exchange resources, and incidentally stir up trouble in the Valley of the End.

Chapter 164 Surprise! Tobirama, by the way, why haven't you had a child yet?

The 54th year of Konoha, the last day of late winter.

Loulan, deep in the desert, welcomed the most incredible "diplomatic mission" in the history of the ninja world.

Although the Kage of the four great ninja villages did not attend in person, they all sent their most trusted and highest-ranking confidants from their respective villages.

Huang Tu, Mabuyi, Qing, Granny Chiyo... these elites, renowned throughout the ninja world, gathered in the large square outside the Loulan underground core laboratory.

Behind them followed their respective entourages, each with their backs and waists bulging with a vast number of blank scrolls for rubbing and storage.

No one spoke in the square, but the air was filled with a burning sense of anticipation.

"Click—Sizzle—"

The heavy metal door slid open slowly, emitting a deep mechanical roar.

Uchiha Yue, dressed in a black trench coat and wearing his signature patterned mask, slowly walked out of the door.

Behind him, Uchiha Hikaru, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and Minato Namikaze, whose true appearance was concealed, filed out one after another.

Yue stopped in her tracks, her indifferent gaze sweeping over the group of "agents" in the square. Looking at the exaggerated blank scrolls on their bodies, a knowing smile curled at the corner of her mouth beneath her mask.
