Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Following that unstable force, an overwhelming repulsive force instantly destroyed the barrier hubs at the four corners of the canyon. Those indestructible sealing chains, the moment they lost their chakra supply, were twisted into countless iron filings by gravity!

Chapter 21 The Chase

"The barrier is broken?! How is this possible?!"

The Senju and Sarutobi ninjas stared in horror as they were thrown about by the violent gravitational storm.

"Ignore it, keep the formation going! Let's go up and stall them!"

A burly leader of the Senju clan, with a face covered in scars, was the first to recover from his shock.

He roared and slammed his hands on the ground.

Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

With a deafening roar, the ground beneath Uchiha Yue's feet instantly transformed into a raging mudslide, attempting to forcibly engulf the two of them.

At the same time, five or six fully armed elite Senju Jonin drew their ninja swords, unleashing extremely powerful chakra, and raced towards the moon and light through the mudslide.

As the most elite family in the Warring States period, specializing in physical and escapist techniques, the destructive power unleashed by these Senju elites upon close combat would be absolutely lethal!

Behind them, after a brief period of chaos, the Sarutobi clan ninjas quickly bit their fingers and began to carve dense runes on the ground again.

"Don't give them a chance to breathe! The Four Purple Flaming Sun Sealing Formation must not fail!"

The captain of the Sarutobi clan roared, his hands forming hand seals so fast they left afterimages.

The Four Purple Flaming Sun Sealing Array is a highly secret array specifically developed to suppress the "eye power" of the Uchiha clan.

It not only requires four Jonin with massive chakra reserves to guard the four corners, but also requires the rise of purple flames capable of scorching spiritual energy within the formation.

Once the formation is complete, the chakra connection between the optic nerve and brain of the Uchiha clan members within it will be completely severed, rendering them unable to unleash any ocular techniques even with their Mangekyou Sharingan.

This was originally a perfect cage specifically designed to counter the unsolvable "eight thousand spears" of light.

However, what would make Uchiha Geki and Hikaru even more desperate was yet to come.

"Spiritual communication!"

The two Senju clan sealing masters joined forces with Captain Sarutobi to slam the ground.

"Bang--!!!"

Accompanied by an extremely thick white smoke and a deafening roar that shook the earth, a terrifying behemoth, as large as a small mountain, made entirely of yellow sand and covered with strange blue and violet curse marks, crashed down into Cherry Blossom Valley!

"Gagaga! I'm finally out for some fresh air!"

A sharp, piercing laugh echoed throughout the canyon.

Ichibi, Shukaku!

Although this is not the sealed original body of the Land of Wind, it is sufficient to deal with the current situation.

"One-Tail, use your cursed sand in conjunction with the formation to completely seal off the movements of these two Uchiha! Afterwards, the Senju clan will allow you to extend your daily exercise time," the Senju leader shouted.

"it is good!"

Shukaku roared and swung its massive claws fiercely, "Desert Layer Burial Seal!"

The vast expanse of yellow sand, mixed with extremely insidious curse runes, swept towards the moon and light like a tsunami.

With the aid of Shukaku's sand, which inherently possesses sealing properties, the purple light of the Four Purple Flame Sun Sealing Array shone brightly once more, its oppressive aura several times stronger than before!

Seeing this hopeless situation before him, Uchiha Yue's face darkened completely.

The Senju elites' physical techniques restrain them, the Sarutobi clan's top-tier sealing array is complemented by the support of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast with the strongest sealing ability!

These guys went to such lengths to seal away Uchiha Hikaru!

On their side, there were only two Uchiha.

Yue covered her still bleeding left eye, and her right eye began to show double vision due to the continuous overexertion of her pupil power.

Although his "Heavenly Lord" can deflect attacks, if he continues to fight against this all-round, no-dead-angle, and endless chakra-consuming battle, he will not only gain no benefit, but he will also lose his two pairs of eyes that have just recovered.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

As for the Uchiha's supplies, screw that.

"Light, this is a tricky situation, let's get out of here!"

Yue turned around, grabbed Uchiha Hikaru's arm, and prepared to use the Body Flicker Technique to escape.

However, when he pulled hard, he couldn't budge it.

Uchiha Hikari stood rooted to the spot, her empty black eyes fixed on the Senju ninja charging towards her and the swirling yellow sand.

The kaleidoscope in her eyes spun wildly, and two lines of bloody tears even flowed down her pale face.

"Light? What are you doing?!" Yue shouted angrily.

"The mission... is not yet complete."

The light's voice was cold and hoarse, carrying a heartbreaking stillness.

She gripped the heavy dagger tightly in her other hand, her body trembling slightly from the depletion of her chakra.

"Weapons cannot retreat before the mission is complete. As long as they are all killed... the barrier will break. I will use eight thousand spears to control that giant raccoon beast and kill them all..."

She still clings to the "tool" mentality that has been thoroughly brainwashed by the higher-ups, intending to overdraw her remaining life force to forcibly control the One-Tailed Beast and these elite Jonin, and fight to the death in this certain death situation!

"Are you crazy?! With that little chakra, you'd blow your brain to bits if you tried to control the One-Tailed Beast!"

Seeing Guang's resolute appearance, as if he were about to face death, Yue felt an inexplicable anger rising to the top of her head.

He suddenly released his grip and raised his right hand high.

"Are you really unable to understand human speech?"

They felt the whooshing sound coming from above and the moon's angry roar.

Uchiha Hikaru's body, which had been resolutely facing death, suddenly froze.

She instinctively shrank her neck, and a rare hint of panic and fear flashed in her previously empty eyes.

Logically speaking, as a weapon stripped of pain and emotion, she wouldn't even flinch at being torn to pieces.

But when she saw Yue's large hand raised high, as if to knock her head...

Are you afraid of being hit on the head by someone of your own kind?

Or perhaps... she was afraid that once she was hit on the head, the "noise" and warmth that left her bewildered would disappear?

Startled by the light, Yue reacted quickly.

The right eye, "Heavenly Lord of the Central Realm," unleashed a concentrated repulsive force, slamming heavily into the ground beneath its feet.

Using this enormous reaction force, the moon, carrying light, shot into the sky like a cannonball, narrowly missing the edge of Shukaku's sealing sand, and leaped out of the encirclement.

"The intelligence was wrong; the enemy's tools actually showed signs of trying to escape?"

"Trying to run?! Not so easy! Chase them!"

Seeing its prey break through the encirclement, the Thousand Hands Commander's eyes widened in fury, and he immediately gave the tactical signal to pursue.

"Roar—! Don't even think about escaping my desert!"

Shukaku roared, and countless sandstorms transformed into sharp sand spears, shooting out in the direction the two were fleeing.

Dozens of elite Senju and Sarutobi ninjas, like a persistent plague, launched a frenzied pursuit through the jungle.

The wind howled in my ears.

Uchiha Yue gritted his teeth and sped through the dense Sengoku forest.

His black combat suit had been torn in several places by tree branches and the aftershocks of ninjutsu along the way, and the blood dripping from his left eye drew a shocking red line in the air.

He has one more chance to activate his left eye's ability; after using it, he will go blind again.

He doesn't plan to use it now.

Under his armpit, Uchiha Hikaru was being protected by him tightly.

She didn't struggle, nor did she mention any more tasks.

She simply raised her head silently, staring blankly at Yue's jawline, which was covered in cold sweat and blood.

In this cold and cruel Warring States period.

This was the first time in her life that she had failed to fulfill the death order given by her family.

For the first time, someone on the battlefield would rather abandon their mission and endure relentless pursuit than let her, their "tool," live on.

"A living...person...?"

Chapter 22 Freedom

"Damn it, if only I had enough eye power, if only I had the Eternal Kaleidoscope..."

There are no "what ifs" in the world; the moon was indeed being relentlessly hunted in the jungle.

Behind him, the endless yellow sand and the various water and earth techniques of the Senju clan gnawed at them like a malignant tumor.

"Amaterasu!"

The moonlight, tucked under his arm, caused a shocking stream of bloody tears to flow from his empty eyes.

At the focal point of their vision, a strange black flame, as black as ink and seemingly capable of swallowing even light, instantly ignited in the center of the fiercest sandstorm!

"It's Amaterasu, the Sealing Team!"

The Senju clan, with their thorough understanding of the light's intelligence, had made ample preparations, determined to capture the two ultimate weapons before them today.

Although the pursuers behind were not injured, this wall of death still bought them a precious ten seconds.

"Good job, light. Close your eyes and don't use them again."

Panting heavily, Yue seized the brief moment and, carrying the light, plunged headlong into an extremely hidden underground cavern ahead.

The cave was damp and cold, and the moonlight shone down.

He covered his left eye, his chest heaving violently.

He has one last chance to activate the "Eight Meanings Convergence," but if he uses it now, his left eye will be completely ruined again.
