Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Uchiha Yue stared at the frozen data curve on the holographic projection, his tone as precise as that of a emotionless precision instrument.

"What do you mean?" The Sage of Six Paths in mid-air was slightly taken aback.

"That means that, given the current material strength of this body, if you want to use it to unleash power belonging to the 'Six Paths Level' in the present world, its physical limit is only eleven seconds."

Yue turned around and pointed to the pile of charred remains: "Once it exceeds eleven seconds, no matter how much you restrain yourself, the high-dimensional mass of the Six Paths Chakra will completely burn Hashirama's cells and chakra metal."

Eleven seconds!

In this ninja world where even Kage-level shinobi can dominate, an "eleven-second tactical nuke" capable of truly unleashing Six Paths Mode output is enough to sweep away everything.

Although these brief eleven seconds may not represent the peak power of the Sage of Six Paths at his full strength,

Although Loulan can be said to be invincible in the current ninja world,

But this did not diminish Yue's joy at the renewed increase in Loulan's cultural heritage.

Although the cost of the first prototype was very high, its cost will inevitably continue to decrease over time and with the rollout of fully automated production lines.

Perhaps one day, this kind of body that can bear "six levels of energy" will become a consumable that can be replaced at any time on the Loulan Armory assembly line?

The thought of such a future is exhilarating.

"So it was only eleven seconds..." Yu Yi stroked his beard, somewhat disappointed but understanding that it was already a miracle achievable with current technology. "I understand. Next time I will keep track of the time and definitely disconnect within eleven seconds."

"It takes time to iterate on the shell, and Orochimaru and Sasori will continue to develop new versions."

Uchiha Yue tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention back to reality.

He pulled out a scroll he had just copied using Yin Release from his robes and handed it to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, Sasori, this is Hagoromo-senpai's view of the microscopic chakra operation mode, as well as some conjectures about the Otsutsuki god. Study it carefully. It is crucial to the underlying structure of 'Mechanical Ascension'."

After explaining the tasks for the laboratory, Yue turned and left.

He had more important things to do, and it was time to see how the little guys from the [Dawn] organization were doing lately.

Walking through the metallic corridors of Loulan, Yue's mind didn't stop; he began to consider the three core strategies that needed to be promoted in the future.

The ranking is not in any particular order and is mainly based on the consequences of recent actions.

"First, the infrastructure for the [Global Mental Chakra Local Area Network]."

"Currently, Mount Myōboku has been successfully integrated into our 'Ming Seal Network'. However, a single node is not stable. If we want to build an ultimate 'cloud prototype' that can bear the will of all mankind and provide us with unlimited Sage Chakra, we must also forcibly integrate the other two sacred sites—Ryūchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that there is a risk to the source of chakra. In the future, we should use Sage Chakra as much as possible."

"Second, [genetic firewall and bloodline elimination]."

"The Sage of Six Paths once said that as long as one possesses a fragment of the Otsutsuki bloodline, one will be absolutely controlled by the Otsutsuki God. This means that the bloodlines of the Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, and Uzumaki are essentially 'inferior hardware' carrying a Trojan virus!"

"We must completely eliminate the Otsutsuki's control code at the genetic level! We must find the purest and highest quality original life gene sequence in the ninja world to neutralize and replace it, creating a 'perfect body' that is not subject to the listening of the celestial gods. This is the foundation for our survival in the future, enabling us to face 'divine will' directly."

"Third, [Stellar-level Immortal Mode]."

"The limit of natural energy is ultimately just the earth veins of this planet, but what if we could analyze the Tenseigan technology of the Otsutsuki clan and point the energy-absorbing 'antenna' at the sun?"

"The stellar radiation energy produced by nuclear fusion far exceeds that of ordinary Sage Chakra! This requires us to go to the moon to obtain the technological legacy of the Otsutsuki Toneri lineage, and opening the passage to the moon may require the full cooperation of the Hyuga clan of Konoha."

"I might have time to go to Konoha."

After silently sorting out these three goals in her heart, Yue arrived at the first martial arts training hall in the inner courtyard of Loulan.

As soon as the door was opened, an extremely violent wave of chakra rushed towards them.

"Boom!"

In the center of the training ground, Yahiko, his body enveloped in the green light of Yang Release, shattered several solid earthen walls with a single punch.

Opposite him, Kakashi wielded a lightning blade in one hand, weaving through the rubble with incredible fluidity.

In mid-air, Xiao Nan's paper wings scattered a sky full of explosive tags;

Below, Nawaki was roaring as he unleashed the Leaf Village Fluid Technique, engaging in close combat with Obito, who had activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

At the highest point of the training ground, Nagato's red hair flew wildly, and his purple Rinnegan silently looked down at the chaotic battle below. He would occasionally raise his hand to use "Universal Pull" or "Shinra Tensei" to interrupt someone's fatal blow with extreme precision, acting as a ruthless referee controlling the battlefield.

They're warming up; Uchiha Hikaru just informed them that there's a new mission, so they need to get their hands dirty.

"stop."

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Upon hearing the command, the boys, who had been fiercely fighting, instantly stopped and landed in unison in front of Yue, standing in a row.

Even Obito, who was just fighting with great enthusiasm, now stood up straight respectfully, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

"Senior Yue!" everyone called out in unison.

Yue's gaze swept over the group of "futures" he had personally trained, and he nodded in satisfaction.

The previous battle in the Blood Mist Village had already shed their naivety, and they were beginning to show the maturity that a Jonin should have.

"It seems you've really been cooped up for the past few months."

"Since you are all so energetic, then the second phase of the [Dawn] combat mission is officially issued."

Obito shoved Kakashi close, his Sharingan wide as he stared at the information on the scroll: "Black market bounties? S-rank rogue ninja list? Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure, and Juzo Biwa, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure..."

"Senior Yue, are we going to become bounty hunters?" Lin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yue shook her head, not answering, but continuing:

"Intelligence network shows that your future self... Obito, recently used a huge sum of money in the underground black market to frantically recruit these S-rank rogue ninjas with special abilities or who are extremely vicious."

"According to top-secret intelligence we intercepted, their organization is called Akatsuki, and their base is located in Amegakure."

Upon hearing the name "Akatsuki," Yahiko and Nagato's expressions instantly turned somewhat strange.

They almost used this name back then, but Senior Yue changed it to "Dawn".

Now it seems that even their taste in naming is the same.

"His name is Xiao, and ours is Po Xiao. What a coincidence!"

Chapter 183 Heading to Ryuchi Cave

Uchiha Yue's gaze swept over the group of spirited young men before him, and he began to systematically issue strategic plans.

"Obito, Kakashi, Rin."

"The three of you will form the first team. Mission objective: Infiltrate underground gold exchange offices and major black markets, follow the flow of that huge sum of money, and intercept the recruitment plan! If necessary, we can use our vast financial reserves."

Yue looked at Obito: "If you encounter him in the black market... act according to your ability and find out his current strength."

"Understood!" Obito clenched his fist. "Don't worry, Tsuki-senpai. I know that guy's strength. I will do my best, but I will definitely stop him."

"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan."

The moon turned its head and looked at the three orphans from the Land of Rain.

"The three of you will form the second squad. Mission objective: Return to Amegakure."

Upon hearing the words "Rain Village," all three of them paused in their breathing.

They have been gone from that rainy, sorrowful, and death-filled hometown for many years.

Yue Chensheng instructed, "Your mission is to find out the exact coordinates of the Akatsuki's base. Remember, Nagato, you must not reveal the power of the Rinnegan unless absolutely necessary!"

“Leave it to us, Tsuki-sensei.” Yahiko took a deep breath: “We will definitely uncover all the information about Akatsuki.”

"And what about me, Senior Yue!"

Seeing his companions receive extremely important S-rank missions, Senju Nawaki was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "I am also a key member of [Dawn]! I can hold my own against both Akatsuki and that masked man."

"You stay."

Uchiha Yue bluntly poured cold water on Nawaki's enthusiasm.

"Huh?! Why?" Rope Tree asked, sounding aggrieved.

"Because you have a more important and special mission."

Tsuki walked up to Rope Tree and patted his strong shoulder:

“Your identity is extremely special. Next, Loulan will carry out a top-secret plan involving one of the ‘Three Holy Lands’. Only you can be of use to this plan.”

"One of the three holy lands?" Although Rope Tree was completely confused, upon hearing the words "top secret" and "only you," the sense of mission entrusted to him instantly surged, and he immediately stood up straight: "I guarantee to complete the mission! Senior Yue! So when do we set off?"

"No rush. You wait in the inner courtyard. I will take you there after I finish what I have to do."

The Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, and Tsunade, Nawaki's older sister who is currently hiding from debt collectors throughout the ninja world.

In her mind, Yue had already paved the way for Rope Tree to complete this puzzle.

After the group of energetic teenagers left, the entire Loulan underground core area returned to calm.

……

For the next few weeks, Uchiha Yue took a break.

The intense scientific research and cross-temporal maneuvering kept his mind constantly on edge. He cut off all external communication, and apart from using Yin Dun to soothe his eyes and giving guidance to Guang and Sara's cultivation, he spent his days sitting atop the tower drinking coffee and enjoying this rare tranquility.

Until one day five weeks later.

"drop--!"

The lab's dedicated communicator lit up with a green light.

Orochimaru's voice came through:

"Moon Lord, the improved body for the [Fourth Calamity Project] is complete."

Underground super-grade engineering research and development area.

When Uchiha Tsukihiro entered the laboratory, Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sand were standing in front of a brand new incubation chamber.

Having learned from the previous lesson of "burning out in eleven seconds," the two ninja scientists went all out this time.

"We incorporated an anti-magnetic alloy extracted from the deepest layers of the Land of Wind into the chakra metal skeleton, and reinforced the energy transmission nodes with multiple sealing techniques."

Sasori introduced his masterpiece with a blank expression, "As for the outer flesh and blood armor, Orochimaru combined some of the spore properties of White Zetsu with Hashirama cells, which greatly improved its compatibility and toughness with higher-dimensional chakra."

In mid-air, the spirit of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, slowly floated down. His purple Rinnegan stared at the brand-new body, and a hint of anticipation, similar to "driving a new car," appeared in his eyes.

"Senior Yuyi, the 'hardware' fault tolerance has been improved a lot this time, but there are reasons for this, so you still have to be careful."

Uchiha Yue stepped forward, formed hand seals, and the familiar Yin Release data channel was re-established!
