Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"Snapped!"

A chipped, coarse porcelain bowl, which had been stolen from somewhere a month ago, was slammed heavily against the wooden box next to the light.

In the bowl lay two steaming hot roasted sweet potatoes, emitting a slightly sweet aroma.

"eat!"

Yue sat casually opposite her, peeling a sweet potato skin in her hand, grumbling as she ate, "That disgusting, cold chakra was poured into people's bodies, and now my stomach is still churning. I need to eat something hot to calm my nerves."

Hikaru slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the sweet potato in the bowl, which was roasted and oozing syrup, and then looked at Uchiha Tsuki, whose mouth was covered in black ash and who was blowing on the sweet potato.

Her usually expressionless face once again revealed that silly look unique to little girls.

"Weapons... don't need to eat sweet things."

"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll hit you on the head again!"

Yue interrupted her without any politeness, picked up a sweet potato, and forcibly stuffed it into Guang's cold little hands.

Upon hearing the tap on the head, Guang's eyes flickered slightly.

Logically speaking, she should no longer be afraid of pain, but upon hearing that she was going to be hit on the head, a trace of fear arose in her heart.

Are you afraid of being hit on the head by this other tool in front of you?

What's wrong with me?

"Eat it."

A gentle warmth that brooked no refusal shone in Yue's eyes. "Fill your stomach, warm your body, and the cold resentment absorbed down there will dissipate."

Guang stared blankly at the moon, holding the scalding hot sweet potato in his hands.

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally lowered her head and, like a wary kitten, tentatively took a small bite of the sweet potato.

The sweet and soft texture exploded in her mouth instantly, and the warm current slid down her esophagus into her stomach, miraculously suppressing the cold chakra churning within her body that had been absorbing the "Fountain of Rejuvenation".

"call……"

Guang exhaled a breath of hot air, his eyes slightly flushed, whether from the burn or something else.

It's a bit strange that he's not making any noise anymore.

She turned her head and looked over, only to find that the noisy Uchiha Tsuki had already fallen asleep.

……

The Warring States camp in the early morning was still filled with a lingering smell of blood.

The continuous rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped, and the pale sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, sparingly shining on this land filled with carnage.

Inside the drafty tent, Uchiha Yue yawned widely, stretched lazily without any regard for appearances, and his bones cracked.

"I slept in this broken wooden box all night and my back is about to break... Hey, little girl, even if you don't need to sleep, you don't have to stare at me like a wooden stake all night, do you?"

Yue sat up, rubbing her sore neck. As soon as she opened her remaining right eye, she met Uchiha Hikaru's calm, dark eyes.

She remained in the same sitting position as she had been after eating sweet potatoes the night before, except that the large, rough porcelain bowl in her hand had been licked clean, leaving not a trace of syrup.

Upon hearing Yue's complaint, Guang, like a kitten caught doing something wrong, awkwardly looked away and hid the broken bowl behind his back.

"Weapons...do not need sleep, they only need to be on alert at all times."

Her voice remained cold, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a very faint trace of human life within it.

Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance and pretended to hit him on the head, which startled Guang, who took a step back.

Yue didn't notice this detail; he was still sensing the changes in his eyes.

After a night of digestion, the pure pupil power he absorbed at the "Fountain of Return to Light" yesterday has made his left eye no longer dry and bleeding, and he even has a faint feeling of warmth and recovery.

Although it's still a ways off from fully restoring vision and being able to use the "Eight Meanings" device, at least the situation is improving.

Although the methods used were extremely dishonorable and even disgusting to him, the underlying principles of those methods were worth learning from.

If he had the chance to go back, he might be able to develop a method to replenish his eye power that wouldn't require such a cruel approach.

Just as Yue was about to pull Guang to wash their faces and clear their heads, a series of very light and steady footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

Unlike the guards who usually keep watch and shout at the drop of a hat, these footsteps were very light.

"Shh."

The tent flap was gently lifted.

A hunched figure walked in against the faint morning light.

The newcomer was an elderly female Uchiha ninja.

She was wearing a relatively fitted pure white loungewear outfit, and her hair was cut very short, making her look capable and neat.

What's most striking is her eyes.

Those were extremely rare eyes, radiating a gentleness and compassion.

This is completely different from the Uchiha clan members in this camp who are full of madness, greed, and bloodlust.

"It seems you are recovering well."

The female ninja looked at the moon and the light, her voice soft, like a gentle breeze that swept across the battlefield.

She placed a food box she was carrying on the wooden crate. "These are clean rice balls and some dried meat, better than the rations issued to soldiers in the camp. After you finish eating, come out and I'll teach you some things."

There are actually such kind-hearted people among the Uchiha?

The alarm bells in the moonlight are ringing loudly. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?

He opened the food box, checked it to make sure it wasn't poisoned, then grabbed a rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth before putting the rest into Guang's arms.

"Eat. After you've eaten, go see what she's up to."

……

The open space behind the camp was surrounded by towering trees, which effectively blocked the view.

The female ninja stood there quietly, waiting for the two to arrive.

"A ninja's battle cannot rely solely on bloodline limits. Chakra nature transformation is our strongest shield and spear on the battlefield."

The female ninja looked at the moon and light in front of her, and began to form hand seals with extremely standard and smooth movements.

巳－未－申－亥－午－寅.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive and scorching flame erupted from her mouth, instantly transforming into a giant fireball over five meters in diameter, scorching the open space in front of her blackened.

A wave of heat hit me, blowing my shiny, messy hair around.

"The Uchiha clan is naturally drawn to fire-style chakra. This is the most basic Great Fireball Technique, as well as the Phoenix Flower Technique and the Dragon Fire Technique. You must learn to use the least amount of chakra to create the greatest damage, instead of activating the Mangekyou Sharingan at the drop of a hat."

The female ninja turned her head and looked at the two of them. "Guang, you should have learned most of these. You can just watch from the sidelines for now. As for Yue, you give it a try. I want to see your basics."

Chapter 19 Uchiha Chiri

Yue stood aside, looking at the scorched earth, silently complaining to herself.

Fireball?

Making him learn this is like making a college student learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

"Yes, Lord Governance." Hikaru obediently stood aside, looking at Uchiha Tsuki with a genuine intention of following Governance's advice.

boom!

Upon hearing those five words, Uchiha Yue could not hide his shock.

Uchiha... governance?

As a time traveler, how could he not know this name!

In the scarce historical records and top-secret archives of later generations, this name represents an indelible myth of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period.

She is one of the very few women in the Uchiha clan to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!

She was a peerless genius who created another unsolvable ultimate illusion, "Izanami," to save her people who were obsessed with "Izanagi" and killing each other in madness!

She is the only clear-headed and compassionate light among the dark Uchiha!

"No wonder...no wonder she possesses such an incongruous gentleness, no wonder she would take the initiative to teach us, these weapons that are regarded as expendable..."

“I see… Perhaps this is the real reason why ‘Yagi no Ken’ brought me here.”

Yue forcibly suppressed the joy in her heart.

How many secret techniques and ninjutsu did the genius Uchiha Rinpoche possess in his old age?

Perhaps even she herself doesn't know.

"Since this is guidance from the ruler, then I will make a fool of myself."

Yue deliberately adopted a tone that carried a hint of reverence.

He took a deep breath and quickly formed hand seals.

巳－未－申－亥－午－寅.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

boom!

A massive, dark red fireball roared out, even larger than the one Zhili had just released. It slammed into a tree trunk in the distance, unleashing a deafening roar and instantly drying out the surrounding leaves with a wave of intense heat.

"The power is quite good. I estimate that my Fireball Jutsu at your age is not as good as yours."

"It seems I was naive. You don't actually need much instruction in ninjutsu."

She hunched over and slowly walked to the front of the moon, her withered fingers gently touching the moon's eyes.

"Pupil power is the embodiment of the spirit; empty your mind."

Feeling an extremely cool Yin Release chakra emanating from his eyes, a chakra that seemed to soothe the wounds of his soul, Uchiha Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Such profound mastery of Yin Escape techniques!

Is this the genius who created Izanami?
