Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

This is the absolute power that made the top leaders of the four major countries issue the order: "If you encounter this person, you can abandon the mission and run away immediately!"

The three tomoe in the moon's pupils showed signs of merging into one, but quickly stabilized back into three tomoe.

It's not worth wasting your pupil power here.

With no leverage in mid-air, he forcefully twisted his spine, thrusting the short sword and its sheath across his chest, while channeling all his chakra into it!

"boom--!!"

The violent Rasengan slammed into the scabbard of the short sword.

The terrifying tearing force generated by the high-density chakra rotation instantly shredded the scabbard into dust!

The enormous impact was like a meteorite strike, blasting Uchiha Yue away from mid-air!

"boom!"

The moon's body, like a fired cannonball, smashed into a nearby metal exhaust pipe.

Yue coughed softly.

"You're really impressive, Minato. But have you forgotten that there are more than just us in Loulan now?"

Just as Minato was about to throw the kunai again, the huge metal pipe beneath his feet suddenly emitted a piercing alarm.

"Boom!"

The exhaust pipe that was broken when Yue was knocked away was actually one of the main gas supply pipes of the Loulan underground arsenal!

High-pressure purple dragon vein chakra surged wildly from the fracture, instantly forming an insurmountable high-energy chakra wall tens of meters high between the two!

Moreover, attracted by this violent chakra leak, hundreds and thousands of guard puppets are densely climbing up the surrounding walls, tightly surrounding the area where Minato is located.

"Was the direction he was knocked away in intentional?" Minato thought to himself, "This is bad."

Through the surging purple chakra barrier, Uchiha Yue's figure began to blur.

He sheathed the dagger and made a gesture towards Minato that he only understood back when he was in the Anbu.

'Until we meet again.'

As Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to penetrate the chakra barrier and eliminate the several self-destructing puppets that rushed at him, the Uchiha youth in black robes had already completely merged into the dark and deep underground labyrinth of Loulan.

Minato frowned as he looked at the puppet remains scattered all over the ground.

"We must find him as soon as possible. I have a feeling that with him around, our mission will be very difficult to complete." Minato muttered to himself, and with a flash, he chased after the direction where Yue had disappeared.

……

At the same time, among the intricate metal pipes above the ancient city of Loulan, the purple dragon vein chakra, which had been flowing steadily, suddenly began to violently surge.

"Om~"

Accompanied by a piercing sound of spatial distortion, a dazzling vortex of light suddenly tore open in mid-air.

"Waaaaaahh ...

A piercing scream came from the vortex, and then a boy wearing an orange tracksuit, with dazzling blond hair and bright blue eyes, fell from mid-air, flailing his arms and legs.

"boom!"

The boy fell heavily onto a wide, metal street in an extremely ungraceful manner, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Damn it, Captain Yamato? Sakura? Sai?"

Naruto Uzumaki rubbed his sore bottom and groggily got up from the ground.

He looked around and saw that the ruins of Loulan, which should have been covered in yellow sand, had now been transformed into a super metropolis with towering towers and a futuristic feel.

"Where am I? Wasn't I supposed to be capturing that bastard Centipede?" Naruto was completely confused.

Before he could figure out what was going on, a chilling mechanical grinding sound suddenly came from the shadows on both sides of the street.

"Click-click-click..."

More than a dozen mechanical puppets, resembling giant spiders and made entirely of metal, crawled out from the shadows.

Their single eye, emitting a purple glow, instantly locked onto the intruder.

"What the hell?!"

Naruto was startled and instinctively reached for his ninja tool pouch, only to find that he hadn't fully recovered from the dizziness of time travel, and his chakra circulation was somewhat sluggish.

"Rest! Rest! Rest!"

Without any hesitation, several puppets opened their mouths, and several high-density purplish-red chakra lasers shot towards Naruto.

"Whoa! Danger!" Naruto rolled on the ground in a sorry state, narrowly avoiding the laser.

The beam of light struck the ground where he had just been standing, instantly creating a large crater.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me! Shadow Clone Technique—"

Just as Naruto was about to form hand seals, a huge puppet silently leaped down from the pipe above his head, its sharp metal forelimbs like the scythe of death, slashing fiercely at him!

The speed was too fast, and Naruto's hand seal movement was abruptly stopped halfway, his pupils shrinking sharply.

At this critical moment—

"Clang!"

A black afterimage swept past Naruto's side.

With a piercing clang of metal striking metal, the giant puppet that swooped down from mid-air was instantly split in two!

The purple chakra lines crackled and popped before exploding with a deafening roar.

Amidst the flames of the explosion, a figure draped in a black high-necked robe stood in front of Naruto.

"I'm saved..." Naruto, still shaken, collapsed to the ground, looking at the figure in front of him. "Thank you so much, Uncle!"

Upon hearing the word "uncle," the young man in black robes turned his head slightly and glanced at Naruto with a twitching eye.

"Are you from Konoha?"

Naruto looked up, his gaze catching a glimpse of the Konoha headband peeking out from under the young man's clothes, and he instantly became excited: "So you're a Konoha ninja too! That's great! I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I was tracking someone called Centipede... and somehow ended up here..."

Uchiha Yue looked at the loud, unsuspecting blond goofball in front of him and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Of course he knew who it was.

This is Naruto Uzumaki, the absolute "chosen one" of this world, the reincarnation of Ashura who will be able to overturn the chessboard in the future.

"Do you know where that damn centipede is?"

Yue did not answer directly, but simply looked away.

"It's dangerous here, kid. Stay close to me."

"Oh! Okay!" Naruto saw that the other party was dressed in Konoha and had such a kind heart, so his wariness instantly dropped to zero, and he even felt a strange sense of familiarity.

However, just as Naruto was about to follow in Yue's footsteps, an extremely sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from above!

"Whoosh!"

A uniquely shaped trident kunai was embedded in the ground between Tsuki and Naruto like lightning.

Chapter 3 How could you treat a rogue ninja like this!

Upon seeing the kunai, Uchiha Tsuki's eyes narrowed, his gaze instantly locking onto the kunai, and his body instinctively retreated rapidly.

Almost at the same second, a golden flash appeared out of thin air at the location of the kunai.

Minato Namikaze had already condensed a violent Rasengan in his hand, and he slammed it mercilessly toward Light's chest!

"Got you, Uchiha Tsuki!" Minato's voice was slightly cold; he would not let this rogue ninja escape again.

All of this happened so fast that a normal person wouldn't have time to react.

But just as Minato's Rasengan was about to hit Yue, an orange figure suddenly charged in from the side as if it had gone mad!

"Don't hurt him!!"

Without a second thought, Naruto pulled out a kunai and used all his strength to block Minato's wrist, even using his own body to shield Uchiha Tsuki.

"what?!"

Minato's azure pupils showed a hint of surprise.

His attention was entirely focused on Uchiha Tsuki, and he had no idea that this blond teenager who suddenly appeared next to him would risk his life to protect an A-rank rogue ninja.

Furthermore, there is a Konoha mark on his forehead.

Damn!

If this Rasengan is fired, this teenager will either die or be crippled!

In a split-second decision, Minato demonstrated a reflex speed that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He forcefully twisted his wrist, deflecting the Rasengan's trajectory by several inches.

"boom!"

The Rasengan grazed Naruto's shoulder and slammed into the metal wall next to him, instantly creating a huge crater in the thick wall.

"That was close..." Minato dispersed his chakra, his gaze fixed on Naruto.

"What are you doing?!" Naruto roared angrily at Minato. "He just saved my life! And he's a comrade of Konoha! Why did you attack him?! And that Rasengan you used..."

Naruto suddenly froze, staring blankly at the Konoha headband on Minato's forehead.

Minato was also stunned.

He looked at Naruto's blond hair, which was exactly the same as his own, and then at the Konoha headband he wore on his forehead. A strong sense of absurdity and an indescribable...familiarity welled up in his heart.

When did Konoha have such a person?

"companion?"

Minato took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

He knew now was not the time to dwell on the boy's identity; if he didn't explain it clearly, this hothead might be completely used by Uchiha Tsuki.

"Young man, I don't know who you are, but you've been deceived by him."

Minato straightened up, his gaze passing over Naruto and looking at Uchiha Tsuki behind him.
