Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"Madara..." Hashirama sighed, "Stop being a sour grapes."

"All you've ever known in your life is family and fighting; you haven't even had a woman you like."

Hashirama shrugged and delivered the fatal blow: "You old idiot who's been a bachelor your whole life and has barely even held a girl's hand, you have no idea about the troubles called 'love'! You're just pure jealousy!"

"Crack!"

The teacup in Ban's hand was crushed into powder, and tea mixed with porcelain shards spilled all over the ground.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and a terrifying murderous aura instantly emanated from him!

"Hashirama—!!!"

Madara Uchiha laughed in fury, his Sharingan eyes blazing red: "Looks like you're itching for a fight these past few days! Let's go! To the training grounds. You want to die? I'll grant your wish!"

"Fight if you want! Who's afraid of who, you old bachelor!" Hashirama rolled up his sleeves without backing down.

Just as these important figures were causing chaos in the restaurant.

In a quiet booth at the far end of the restaurant.

Uchiha Mitsumasa was sipping a strawberry milkshake.

She silently watched the "battleground" between Tsunade and Kato Dan not far away.

The girl gently bit the straw, and the image of the moon involuntarily flashed through her mind.

"Two women can actually erupt into such complex hostility and pain over a man..."

Guang tilted his head slightly, silently taking stock of the interpersonal relationships around Uchiha Yue.

Ultimately, it was concluded that in Yue's world, the only one who could hold his hand without any hesitation and stay by his side when he was tired from doing experiments was herself.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Hikaru, who was initially confused when she saw Tsunade being jealous, couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing an extremely sweet yet possessive and beautiful smile.

She lowered her head and took a small sip of the milkshake in her cup.

"So sweet."

This feeling of not needing to compete with anyone, of being the only one in the world who can stand by his side...

It really makes you feel happy.

Chapter 202 Nagato's Trio and the Gods of the Land of Rain

At the same time.

In Amegakure, the perpetual rain seems to weep even in the sky.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Above an abandoned drainage pipe on the outskirts of the village, three petite figures draped in gray rain cloaks lurked in the shadows.

Yahiko peeked out, looking at the massive complex of buildings that were faintly visible in the rain ahead, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

This is their hometown.

They used to rummage through the mud like wild dogs, desperately searching for food, fighting tooth and nail for even half a piece of moldy black bread.

Now, they have traversed time and space, carrying power sufficient to overturn the ninja world, and returned once again to this starting point filled with painful memories.

"Prepare to infiltrate. According to the plan, we need to first find out the location of the so-called 'Akatsuki' organization's base and its defensive forces," Yahiko said in a low voice.

However, just as he was about to leap into the rain...

"Wait, Yahiko."

A hand was placed on his shoulder.

Nagato slightly raised his head, his red bangs parted in the rain and wind, revealing a pair of Rinnegan eyes radiating purple light.

"What's wrong, Nagato? Is there an ambush?" Konan immediately tensed up on alert.

"This rain...is no ordinary rain."

"This is a super-large sensory ninjutsu that covers the entire village."

Nagato looked at the raindrops that had been pushed aside, her voice low.

“Every drop of rain contains the caster’s chakra. As long as someone is drenched by this rain, even the slightest chakra reaction will be detected by the caster instantly.”

"A sensory ninjutsu that covers the entire village?" Yahiko gasped. "How much chakra would that require? Is that masked man that powerful?"

Nagato shook his head.

He looked at Yahiko and Konan, his lips twitched slightly, but he ultimately swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He didn't make a fuss.

Just now, when he used the Rinnegan's perception to analyze the chakra in the rain, he was horrified to discover—

The chakra contained in this rain is exactly the same as his own!

"The caster wasn't the masked man... Could it be me from the future?"

Nagato felt a storm raging in her heart.

But he couldn't let Yahiko and Konan panic before he found out the truth.

"I have just used my chakra to perfectly cover the sensory wavelengths in this rain."

Nagato calmly said, "In the caster's perception, we are no different from the rainwater on the ground. As long as we don't make a move, we are in a state of absolute 'invisibility'."

"Let's go, into the village."

With Nagato's incredible "synchronous shielding" protection, the trio swaggered into the interior of Amegakure.

Walking on the dark and damp street, with closed doors and windows on both sides.

By the dim light of the streetlights, they could see various extremely harsh government decrees and proclamations posted on the walls.

[Unauthorized associations are strictly prohibited within the village; violators will be executed.]

Trade with the outside world is strictly prohibited; violators will be executed.

The gods protect the land of rain; those who turn their backs on the gods shall die.

Occasionally, a few ordinary people would hurry by on the street, their faces devoid of smiles, and they dared not even speak loudly.

"What kind of hell is this place...?"

Yahiko stared at the scene before him, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "This is the country controlled by that masked man? Using absolute oppression and terror to suppress everything? What kind of peace is this!"

“They kept muttering ‘gods’ and ‘angels’…” Xiao Nan keenly noticed the words the common people used in their whispered prayers. “It seems that the one who rules this village is that so-called ‘god’.”

Yahiko gritted his teeth: "Whether he is a god or a demon, now that we, the [Dawn], have arrived, we must dispel this rain."

Just as the three of them were hiding under the eaves of a house in a small alley, preparing to further investigate the distribution of guards in the core building.

"Boom!"

A dilapidated tower not far ahead suddenly collapsed!

On that street, there was an old woman pushing a cart and a child crying in fear!

"not good!"

Yahiko almost instinctively rushed out to save the person!

However, before he could take a step, Nagato grabbed him: "Don't move!"

"Whoosh—!!!"

Accompanied by a sound of paper rubbing together.

Countless white paper scraps appeared out of nowhere and instantly gathered above the old woman and the child!

"Paper magic?" Konan's pupils suddenly contracted!

Before the trio's eyes, the white pieces of paper folded and hardened rapidly in mid-air, transforming into a giant paper shield!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The steel debris hit the paper shield, but was completely deflected!

Then, surrounded by a flurry of paper butterflies.

A figure exuding a cool and sacred aura slowly descended from the sky.

She was a woman wearing a long black robe embroidered with red clouds.

She had extremely beautiful long light blue hair, with a pale purple paper flower pinned to her head.

Behind her, two enormous wings made entirely of pure white paper flapped slowly in the rain, like those of an angel.

The old woman, having narrowly escaped death, saw the figure in mid-air and immediately grabbed her grandson:

"Thank you, angel! Thank you, angel, for saving my life! God protect me!"

The "angel" in mid-air did not speak.

She simply raised her hand slightly, and several sheets of white paper transformed into paper umbrellas, shielding the old woman and the child from the head.

"God is watching everything."

"Go back, don't linger in the rain."

With that, the paper wings behind her suddenly flapped, and she transformed into a sky full of white paper, flying away into the distance.

Meanwhile, the Dawn Trio, hiding in the shadows of the alley, were plunged into a deathly silence!

That woman's face, that signature paper magic, even the paper flower pinned in her hair!

“That 'angel'... was me?!” Xiao Nan’s voice trembled.

Yahiko was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and leaned stiffly against the wall.

His mind was in unprecedented chaos.

Before they arrived, they had always believed that the Akatsuki organization, which ruled the village and was identified by Obito as the masked man's lair, was an extremely evil group.

But now, they've seen it with their own eyes.

The "angel" worshipped by the villagers...

It's actually the future Minami?!
