Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Although Kushina was in charge of most of the research and he was just assisting, research is really addictive, especially when you can take your fantasies into shape in your hands...

Kushina Uzumaki was in better spirits. She put down her pen and greeted Yue with a smile.

"It seems you two have been behind the scenes for more than just political matters these past few days." Yue walked to a slowly rotating sealing array and lightly touched the chakra barrier with her fingertips. "Is this your new research?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Yue."

Minato walked up to the three-dimensional model, his azure eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Ever since we learned about the 'World Correction Power,' the 'Otsutsuki Clan,' and the threat from beyond the stars in Loulan, Kushina and I have been pondering a question: If a god capable of crushing planets with a flick of his wrist were to descend upon us in the future, what would Konoha... no, the entire ninja world, use to defend itself?"

Minato reached out and touched the center of the 3D model with his fingertip. Instantly, the entire sealing array expanded outward, transforming into a huge shield that enveloped the simulated planet.

"Kushina possesses the most orthodox sealing techniques inherited from the Uzumaki clan, while I am proficient in the spatial analysis of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Minato took a deep breath:

"We will integrate traditional sealing techniques with space-folding technology, and we hope to use your [Chakra Network] computing power in the future to develop a sealing array that will encompass the entire ninja world. Not only sealing techniques, but also technology, ninjutsu, sage techniques, and so on will be expanded into this sealing array."

Kushina proudly added, "Traditional barriers can only defend against physical or chakra-based planar attacks, but our 'array' cuts and folds space itself! If an enemy tries to break through, they won't be facing a single wall, but a giant barrier composed of countless walls of different types."

Minato stared intently at Uchiha Tsuki:

"Lord Yue, you are implementing the [Heaven's Will Project] to reshape the rules of the ninja world, while my plan is that one day, Konoha will be able to embed the foundation of this formation into every part of the ninja world!"

"Compared to that united Konoha of Truth, I will name it [Transcendental Seal: Barrier Konoha]."

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, a dazzling glint flashed in Uchiha Tsuki's eyes.

No wonder he was able to single-handedly become the "Yellow Flash" during the Third Shinobi World War!

He originally thought that after Minato regained control of Konoha, his vision would still be limited to the management of the village.

Unexpectedly, after witnessing the truth, the Fourth Hokage was able to draw inferences from one instance and directly proposed the strategic concept of a "planetary-level defensive formation"!

If Yue's [Mechanical Ascension] and [Stellar-Level Sage Mode] are the "spears" on this planet, then the [Planetary Sealing Array] that the Minato couple is currently constructing is a "shield" sufficient to protect all of humanity, or rather, his own battery!

Aside from the problematic name, it has no other flaws.

"A perfect plan, Minato, Kushina."

Uchiha Yue didn't hold back his applause, "Go ahead and do it. Loulan will provide all the necessary chakra metals and spirit network computing power support for your 'array' research."

"Thank you, Lord Yue!" Minato and Kushina exchanged a smile, their eyes full of enthusiasm.

After finishing their business, Uchiha Tsuki didn't leave immediately. He crossed his arms and glanced back and forth between Minato and Kushina a few times before suddenly having a wicked idea.

"However, Minato, while Konoha's future defense plans are so well-thought-out, have you overlooked another equally important 'fundamental national policy'?"

"Huh?" Minato paused, "What national policy?"

Yue raised an eyebrow:

"I've heard that since Loulan's 'full birth subsidy policy' was fully implemented in the five major countries, the number of newborns in each village has been exploding. Even that rigid Fourth Raikage is looking for a wife to have children."

Yue leaned down slightly, looking at the Fourth Hokage and his wife, whose expressions were gradually becoming somewhat unnatural:

"As the de facto rulers of Konoha, you two not only have excellent genes, but are also in your prime. How can you fall behind at this crucial time?"

"Naruto is over three years old now, and he's so lonely playing with ants in the yard all by himself. Why don't you guys hurry up and respond to the policy and give Naruto a younger brother or sister? Have you been working on sealing techniques lately and worn your bodies out? Should I provide you with some of the special tonics from Loulan?"

"..."

The research room fell silent the moment he said that.

Kushina Uzumaki's fair face flushed red to her ears in an instant. Her red hair instinctively wanted to stand up, but because the person in front of her was Uchiha Tsukuyomi, she could only forcefully suppress it.

"Your Excellency Yue! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Even the usually composed Minato Namikaze blushed, a rare sight for him. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head, his eyes darting around guiltily.

"Ahem... Well, Lord Yue, we've indeed been too busy lately... Konoha is in dire need of rebuilding, and the deduction of formations requires a lot of energy, so... so the plan for a second child has been temporarily put on hold..."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't let the great plan of human reproduction interfere with it, Watergate Envoy."

Yue patted Minato on the shoulder and earnestly "admonished" him: "You two haven't set a good example. If you're short of money, Loulan can give you double the subsidy; if you don't have time to take care of the child, the automated childcare robot that Orochimaru and Kabuto are developing will be off the production line soon. In short, hurry up, I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of surprise your next child's genes will bring me."

Seeing the Hokage couple, who were so teased they wanted to disappear into the ground, Uchiha Yue laughed loudly, and in high spirits activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, disappearing from the research lab.

Minato and Kushina were left standing there, looking at each other, their faces flushed.

Chapter 227 A World of Vibrant Life and Flourishing Nature: The Ninja World

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month or two have passed since Uchiha Yue obtained Might Guy's gene sample from Konoha.

In just a few dozen days, the entire ninja world has witnessed a technological revolution.

The cause was an S-rank secret technique scroll that was released to the entire ninja world by the Loulan government without reservation and was heavily promoted by the high-ranking officials of the five great nations and the Akatsuki organization of the Land of Rain.

"Ming Dynasty Seal: Basic Construction and Energy Storage Theory"

In the traditional understanding of the ninja world, chakra is a consumable resource; once it's used up, it can only be slowly refined through rest.

The so-called "Yin Seal" is a secret energy storage technique that was kept secret by Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and ordinary ninjas had no chance to learn it.

But now, Loulan has not only made public the [Ming Seal], a technique with a lower threshold, more stable effects, and the ability to store chakra, spiritual energy, and even eye power at the same time, but has also thoughtfully included an extremely detailed basic training diagram!

The entire ninja world was in an uproar!

"As long as you store excess chakra in your brow during normal times, you can have a second life during battle!"

"My God, Loulan has just released this level of strategic secret technique for free?!"

"Lord Uchiha Tsukuyomi's magnanimity is probably no less than that of Hashirama Senju, who established a village and a country back then!"

The ninjas from the four great ninja villages, the commoner ninjas from small countries, and even those wandering ninjas who licked blood from the edge of a knife, all felt deeply grateful to Loulan and Uchiha Yue after successfully cultivating the faint purple diamond-shaped mark between their eyebrows.

In their view, this is a great example of "technology-driven poverty alleviation".

After all, in an era when C-rank ninjutsu were family secrets, sharing such a secret technique shows remarkable magnanimity.

As for Uchiha Yue, who was far away in the underground core of Loulan, he felt the increase in the [Spirit Network Node] and grinned from ear to ear.

What's free is often the most expensive.

The moment these ninjas carved the "Ming Seal" between their eyebrows, they were essentially clicking the "agree" button on that "final user agreement" that was tens of thousands of words long.

They thought they had obtained a "backup battery," but little did they know that they would also become backup batteries within the [Chakra Network] controlled by Yue.

"Not only the existing ninjas, but also the foundation for the future has been laid."

Sarah walked up to Yue with the latest statistical report in her hand, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Lord Yue, thanks to the full birth subsidies implemented by the major countries, the number of children enrolled in school has exploded. In order to support your plan, the 'new-style ninja school' teaching system that we established with the support of the four major countries has also begun to take effect."

"The basic structure of the [Bright Seal] has been fully incorporated into the enlightenment education of the new generation of ninjas as a first-year compulsory course, which is of equal importance to the 'Chakra Refining Technique'."

Yue nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Ten years from now, when these children grow up, every wisp of chakra in this ninja world will be under the control of this network."

……

Just as Loulan's plan was being rolled out across the world in full swing.

A dimly lit underground altar, far from the bustling areas of the ninja world.

The air was filled with a strong stench of blood, as well as the burnt smell of various extremely rare chakra-conducting metals after being melted at high temperatures.

"Cough...poof!"

Obito, wearing a tattered vortex mask, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Around him was a spacetime distortion array forcibly pieced together from countless precious ores, fragments of ancient seals, and the chakra of living sacrifices.

"Failed again..."

Obito covered his bleeding right eye, panting heavily, his eyes filled with resentment.

For the past two months, he has been frantically driving Kakuzu and Juzo Biwa to scavenge materials on the black market.

Using the Warring States period fragment known as "Aizen," he attempted to forcibly create a [Limited Tsukuyomi] space independent of the present world, using Kamui as a coordinate anchor!

He longed so much for that perfect world where there was no cruel reality, only Lin!

"The spatial coordinates were clearly anchored, and the chakra input was not a problem... so why did the spatial barrier produce such a strong repulsion at the final 'rule imprinting' step?"

Obito gritted his teeth and slammed his fist hard on the cracked stone slab.

"It seems that ordinary chakra alone is simply not enough to support the weight of the rules of 'creation'. Perhaps I need the power of the [Tailed Beasts]!"

And in the shadows at the edge of the altar.

Kakuzu and Juzo Biwa were watching their leader's miserable state.

Kakuzu touched the thick wad of reimbursement funds he had just swindled from Obito... no, earned from him, and a hint of mockery flashed across his expressionless face.

[Kakuzu]: Boss, reporting for the day. That poor masked guy named Obito, the spacetime array he set up just now exploded, and it looks like he suffered a serious backlash.

Uchiha Yue, far away in Loulan, received the message through the mental network and raised an eyebrow.

[Uchiha Tsukuyomi]: Oh? The first test of the Limited Tsukuyomi failed? As expected, without the chakra of a Tailed Beast as a foundation, the sacrifice of ordinary ninjas alone cannot support a parallel dimension.

Kakuzu: Should we strike while the iron is hot and kill him?

[Uchiha Yue]: No need, let him continue experimenting. He's my 'chief tester' for exploring higher-dimensional rules. However... he must be in a bad mood right now. As an old friend, I should send someone to 'comfort' him.

After cutting off the communication, Uchiha Yue chuckled and directly contacted the [Dawn] team.

……

Inside the underground altar, Obito wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced himself to stand up, preparing to have White Zetsu clean up the ruins and collect materials again.

However, his right eye, which had just been throbbing with pain due to the backlash of his pupil power, suddenly contracted its pupil!

A familiar spatial distortion, the kind that had haunted his dreams for the past few months, suddenly exploded above the altar without warning!

"No way? Not again?"

Obito felt a chill run down his spine.

"boom!"

With a cloud of dust, three young figures wearing black trench coats jumped down from the spatial vortex.

Leading the way was still that black-haired boy wearing goggles.

"Hey! Me from the future!"
