Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Upon seeing Kaguya speak with a clear mind, both Hagoromo and Hamura, who were suspended in mid-air, began to tremble simultaneously.

"Mother! It is your unfilial son's fault!" Yu Yi's mechanical voice revealed an undisguised sense of guilt.

“Mother…we have finally seen you again!” Hamura also lowered his noble head.

Kaguya was stunned.

She stared blankly at the two "tin lumps" in front of her, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, her pure white eyes filled with deep confusion.

"What...do you call me?"

Kaguya tilted her head: "You are Hagoromo and Hamura?"

Chapter 235 Kaguya Otsutsuki's Family Ethics Farce

However, before the two old immortals could explain...

"boom!"

Uchiha Yue "thoughtfully" kicked and shattered Black Zetsu's sealing jar.

A swarm of black mud, resembling a dog, tumbled and crawled to Kaguya's feet, then clung to her metal thigh and began to wail loudly:

"Waaaaah! Mother!"

Black Zetsu, crying, pointed at Hagoromo and Hamura kneeling on the ground and began to "complain" through tears:

"These two rebellious sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, whom you raised with such care and love, have conspired to cruelly seal you in a cold stone sphere for over a thousand years! Mother, they have betrayed you!"

Looking at the black mud rubbing against his legs, and then at the two "tin-skin sons" kneeling in front of him.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the once high and mighty goddess of the rabbit, had a hint of confusion flash in her pure, white eyes.

But she didn't get angry, nor did she kick away the black Zetsu at her feet.

Because she truly felt a will that originated from the same source as hers from this pool of black mud.

A full five seconds passed.

Kaguya's originally cold and aloof face gradually melted.

She slowly crouched down, reached out her metallic hands, and gently lifted the Black Zetsu from the ground, cradling it in her arms as if comforting a frightened baby.

Then, she raised her head, her pure white eyes quietly gazing at Hagoromo and Hamura.

Two clear tears slid down the cheeks of the goddess of creation without warning.

"Hagoromo...Hamura...my children..."

Kaguya's voice was ethereal and mournful.

She reached out her trembling hand and gently stroked the cold, mechanical face of the woman in the feather robe, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Why...why did you treat your mother like that?"

"Everything your mother did was just to prevent you from getting hurt... just to protect you, to protect this nursery... Why did you abandon me?"

Faced with their mother's tearful sobs, Hagoromo and Hamura, suspended in mid-air, took a deep breath.

"Mother!" Yu Yi's mechanical voice was tinged with guilt, "Back then... back then you were corrupted by that will from the depths of the starry sky, becoming cruel and ruthless, even wanting to devour the world... we... had no other choice!"

"We are too weak to share Mother's pain!" the Sage of Six Paths explained.

"Mother, don't listen to their excuses! They betrayed you just to seize the chakra of this planet!" The Black Zetsu in her arms was still doing her best to stir up trouble as the "green tea" (a derogatory term for a manipulative woman).

It wanted to transfer all the anger and grievances accumulated over the past thousand years onto the Sage of Six Paths brothers. As for Uchiha Yue, he was already a great benefactor who brought its mother back.

Kaguya closed her tear-filled eyes, gently stroking Black Zetsu's head, then reached out a trembling hand and lightly touched her two kneeling, rebellious sons.

Her divinity and maternal instincts intertwined, as if she had let go of all the suffering she had endured.

“That was never my intention… Hagoromo, Hamura, don’t blame yourselves anymore, your mother understands you.”

Looking at this almost magical "daily family ethics"...

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who were standing to the side, had their eyes twitching wildly.

Hashirama swallowed hard and muttered under his breath, "Madara... is this the final boss in the story, the demon who wants to turn everyone in the world into White Zetsu?"

Ban's face was dark, and he hugged his chest tightly with both hands, feeling that his worldview had been shaken.

In the story Yue told him, he was willing to break with Hashirama in order to revive this woman, and he had been plotting for most of his life...

In the end, his grand ambitions were nothing more than a family dispute between a mother and son.

Unlike the two founders of Konoha who collapsed, Sasori of the Red Sand, standing in front of the control panel, watched this scene of mother and son recognizing each other, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Thanks to Uchiha Tsuki, his own parents had already been rescued across time and space. Now that his inner conflict has been resolved, he can enjoy this family drama with a relaxed "bystander" mentality.

Beside him, Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils were filled with excitement.

The legendary progenitor of chakra, the Sage of Six Paths, and his mother's feud—these historical mysteries were presented before him in such an absurd way, making him lick his lips involuntarily.

However, compared to Orochimaru and the others' enjoyment, Uchiha Yue showed no interest in this heartwarming scene at the moment.

He leaned against the cold metal wall, looking at his hands, his brows furrowed tightly.

The image of the Yin-style spiritual energy that he had deliberately severed turning into scattered black thorns was still vivid in his mind.

Sensing that Uchiha Yue's mental state seemed a bit off, Orochimaru walked over to Yue's side.

“Moon Lord, Kaguya’s various indicators are very stable, including her mental state, so there’s no need to worry about her going out of control. In addition, we’ve also locked the energy limit of the body Kaguya is incarcerated in at a certain level… Wait, Moon Lord, is your expression related to something like pollution?”

Uchiha Yue nodded slightly.

He recalled that in the sealed space, when that flow of information spread, his Uchiha bloodline instinctively "resonated" with that higher-dimensional will!

That irresistible urge for chakra...

Even if his current strength has reached the pinnacle of the ninja world, as long as his body still carries that gene fragment, this body will sooner or later become the back door of that high-dimensional god!

The feeling that her life, death, and will could be controlled by a bloodline at any moment made Yue, who had always been in control of everything, feel an unprecedented sense of disgust.

"Orochimaru, how's the analysis of the original genetic maps of the various clans in the ninja world going?" Yue turned her head, her tone revealing an undeniable urgency.

“The underlying logic has been figured out.” Orochimaru licked his lips and reported the latest progress. “With your own genes as the main stem, Might Guy’s genes and those of many ordinary people as supplementary, and incorporating recessive genetic factors from various clans in the ninja world that have not been contaminated by the Otsutsuki bloodline… this model has been completed.”

“However, Moon Lord, your insistence on not replacing the clone, but directly performing live gene editing on the original body… is too crazy. Moreover, we have no experience in successfully separating the Uchiha bloodline, which may increase the instability of the experiment.”

“You’re right, we do need experience in separating the Uchiha bloodline.”

Yue took a deep breath, a cold glint in her eyes: "Now, only the last step remains."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes: "What does 'Moon Lord' mean..."

"Let's accumulate materials for our experiments. Next, we'll have a group of people as our materials."

Chapter 236 The Arrival of Sasuke, the Young Man from Another World

The Land of Winds, an endless desert of death.

In this desolate and uninhabited land, the space in mid-air suddenly distorted, rippling with a purplish-black light like water.

"Snap—!"

A figure stumbled out of the turbulent time flow and landed steadily on the scorching sand dune.

The newcomer wore a gray-white robe with a stand-up collar, a thick purple rope tied around his waist, and carried a sharp Kusanagi sword on his back.

He slowly raised his head, letting the wind blow through his black hair.

Within his eye sockets, a pair of scarlet eyes radiated a terrifying aura.

That is the flawless Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, formed by the intertwining of straight lines and six-pointed stars!

Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke, who came from the eve of the Fourth Shinobi World War, had just received the eyes of his older brother Itachi Uchiha, and was at the peak of his vengeful rage!

"Cough cough..."

Sasuke looked around at the completely unfamiliar desert, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

The voice of the blond youth who always wore an orange tracksuit and yelled at him like an idiot involuntarily echoed in his mind.

In a brief confrontation following the Five Kage Summit, Naruto Uzumaki, whom he considered a bond he had to sever, shouted at him anxiously:

"Sasuke! You don't need to destroy Konoha! I know a place called the Dragon Vein, where you can travel through time. It's in Loulan. If we find it and go back to the past... we can see Uchiha Tsuki, and we'll definitely be able to change Itachi's fate and change the tragedy of the Uchiha clan!"

At that time, Sasuke scoffed at such remarks.

But after receiving Itachi's eyes and experiencing that power of his eyes, his heart, which was consumed by hatred, finally began to harbor a sliver of hope.

If only we could go back in time... if only we could get there before that bloody night...

He was determined to personally kill the high-ranking officials of Konoha, and then ask his foolish brother face to face why he had to bear such a disgusting crime!

Following the clues revealed by Naruto, Sasuke found the ruins of Loulan in his own timeline.

Using the immense power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope, he forcibly resonated with the remaining trace of dragon vein power underground, and actually tore apart the barrier of space and time, going against the current!

"That idiot Naruto said that there used to be a guy named Uchiha Tsukuyomi, but I don't remember the Uchiha clan having that name..."

Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated in the sandstorm, his vision instantly piercing through the yellow sand and reaching deep into the desert.

"Is that Loulan?"

He could clearly sense extremely powerful chakra fluctuations there!

He strode forward, his figure transforming into a purple bolt of lightning amidst the sandstorm, instantly appearing hundreds of meters away.

As Sasuke trudged across the sand dunes, with each step he took, the image of Itachi's dying smile and the cruel truth he had heard from Obito replayed in his mind.

Just as he was about to approach Loulan.

The sandstorm ahead suddenly stopped without warning.

Accompanied by crisp and steady footsteps, two figures slowly emerged from the end of the sandstorm.

Walking in front was a tall young man wearing a black trench coat.

Half a step behind him was a pretty young girl dressed in a red and white casual outfit.

The two of them didn't use any ninjutsu to avoid the wind, but within half a meter of them, the raging yellow sand seemed to encounter some kind of absolute force field barrier, obediently sliding to both sides.
