Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"You can use it to exchange for any ninjutsu knowledge! You can also use it to buy the blueprints for the most advanced chakra machinery! You can even use it to provide external chakra batteries."

"Of course, there's also a most crucial privilege..."

"As long as you have enough contribution points, death will no longer be your end in reality!"

"You can achieve immortality through contribution points."

"Even... if you have enough chips, you can resurrect your deceased relatives and comrades!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Spirit Realm Square fell into a deathly silence that lasted for ten seconds.

Everyone was incredulous: Immortal and indestructible? Resurrecting deceased loved ones?

How can this be?

Just then, Garuda's figure suddenly appeared on the holographic screen; she was the deceased wife of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

Furthermore, the entire process of her soul connecting to the [Fourth Calamity Body] and her perfect resurrection was displayed in real time and clearly on the large screen!

Upon seeing the living woman in the image, the Wind Kingdom faction erupted in astonishment.

"Immortal? Really?"

"I remember the Shadows sent out a notice, what was it again?"

"Judging from the reaction over the Land of Wind, it seems to be true?"

"So, as long as you work hard to earn contribution points... you can even be exempt from death?"

Looking at Uchiha Tsuki, then at the five Kage behind him, and then at the reaction from the Land of Wind, everyone's hearts began to pound wildly.

With five shadows as a testament and such empirical evidence, could what is said be true?

Can contributing points really make you immortal, and can they really resurrect your deceased loved ones?

These days, who doesn't have someone they wish they could be resurrected?

Looking at the frenzied crowd below, Uchiha Yue smiled slightly.

He needs this group to be fanatical, to become dependent on "contribution points" and "resurrection coins".

Because the enemies he faced were those high and mighty Otsutsuki, the "will of heaven" capable of altering the rules of reality.

A few Kage-level powerhouses are far from enough to fight against monsters of that dimension.

What he needs is a group of "madmen" who are willing to contribute points, can be resurrected infinitely after death, and dare to charge at the gods in groups!

As Uchiha Tsuna finished her opening remarks, the towering golden phantom on the dome transformed into a stream of data and slowly dissipated into the sky above the Spirit Realm.

After a brief period of deathly silence, the entire central square erupted in complete excitement!

After all, that's death!

Among the crowd, there is a small group of people who are still in a daze regarding the concepts of "death" and "the big picture." What they are more concerned about is this colorful new world itself.

"Wow! Sasuke, look! This floorboard is glowing blue when you step on it!"

A little boy wearing an orange jacket and sporting blond hair was excitedly bouncing back and forth on the smooth, mirror-like surface of the square.

At just four years old, Naruto Uzumaki completely let loose at this moment.

As the son of the "Shadow Hokage," he was well protected by Minato and Kushina in the real world. Now, this holographic virtual world is simply the biggest playground in the entire ninja world for him!

"Idiot Naruto, can you stop making such a fuss? It's embarrassing!"

Following behind him was Uchiha Sasuke, who was wearing a dark blue turtleneck short-sleeved shirt.

Having experienced the night of his clan's massacre, Sasuke tried hard to appear cold and ruthless.

However, his large, bright, obsidian-colored eyes, darting around, completely betrayed his inner excitement and curiosity.

It wasn't just the two of them.

"This is so troublesome... But, the clouds here are actually pink?"

Shikamaru, with his hair tied in a topknot, let out a long yawn.

Nearby, Choji was crunching away on a bag of virtual potato chips, his face full of amazement: "Shikamaru! These potato chips are obviously fake, but they taste exactly the same as real ones! They even give you that feeling of fullness!"

Two little girls, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, were excitedly squealing as they surrounded a virtual shop window where they could try on various beautiful clothes using contribution points.

This group of Konoha's "New Generation Twelve Konoha Boys" became childhood friends who often played together early on, thanks to the political alliance of their fathers and the deliberate guidance of the Minato couple.

Of course, these kids weren't the only ones with a playful spirit in this square.

"Yosh! Is this the ultimate realm of youth that Tsuki-senpai created, capable of 100% simulating reality?!"

With a powerful roar, a green blur began frantically doing handstand push-ups in the center of the square.

"One thousand and one! One thousand and two! One thousand and three!"

While sweating profusely, Matt Kay shouted with tears in his eyes, "Even in the virtual world, my youth will not be allowed to slack off in the slightest!"

Beside Kai, the tall and slender Kakashi Hatake, who had just turned eighteen, was covering his dead fish eye with one hand, looking utterly hopeless.

"Kai, can't you at least consider the situation... Everyone around us is looking at us."

Kakashi sighed.

As Minato's most trusted disciple, he was assigned today to be the "cyber babysitter" for these kids.

However, although Kakashi outwardly showed disdain, he was actually quickly browsing the [Spirit Realm System UI] that popped up on his retina.

The offer in the shop interface, "Resurrect the crucial person: 100 million contribution points," was indeed tempting to him.

Lin... his father, White Fang...

Can they really be resurrected?

But Senior Uchiha Yue probably wouldn't lie to him.

Just as Kakashi was studying the system interface, Naruto and Sasuke, who had been frolicking ahead of him, suddenly stopped.

"Kakashi-nii! Guy-nii! Come and see this!" Naruto pointed ahead and shouted.

Kakashi and Guy stepped forward and looked in the direction the children were pointing, and were immediately stunned.

Directly in front of the square, a magnificent, colossal building has sprung up, its origins unknown.

On the dome of the building, five large characters were projected using dazzling holographic neon lights:

Adventurers' Guild

Chapter 263 First Task: Acting

Countless ninjas and civilians, filled with curiosity, surged into the building like a tide.

"Adventurers' Guild? That sounds interesting!" Guy's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Naruto and Sasuke. "Let's go! Kakashi, take the kids and let's see what kind of youth training ground this is!"

As the group followed the flow of people through the gate, the view before them suddenly opened up.

The hall was incredibly spacious, with dozens of huge, semi-transparent holographic light screens suspended on the surrounding walls.

On the light screen, dense text scrolled like a waterfall.

In the center of the hall, there were self-service terminals that looked like bank ATMs, and many people were pointing and talking about them.

Kakashi squinted his dead fish eyes and quickly scanned the rules above.

I. [Daily Tasks]

Synopsis: This program is designed to prevent the citizens of the ninja world from becoming complacent in the pursuit of peace and welfare, and to maintain basic combat strength.

Example task: [Chakra Refinement 2 hours / No limit] (Reward: 10 Contribution Points);

[1000 punches in physical combat / no limit] (Reward: 20 contribution points).

Note: Keep striving for the future of the ninja world. Your sweat and your aspirations will one day come in handy.

"I see..." Kakashi nodded to himself.

Loulan's policies are too good; if they are not supervised, ordinary people and low-level ninjas can easily become useless.

This daily task is like providing a "basic living allowance" to the entire ninja world. As long as you keep exercising every day, you can steadily earn currency to buy living supplies and basic ninjutsu.

II. [Production Tasks]

Introduction: This project perfectly links the computing power of virtual networks with real-world industrial/agricultural development.

Example task: [Deliver 1 ton of high-quality wheat in the real world] (Reward: 300 contribution points);

[Complete the polishing of one hundred chakra metal parts in the processing plant] (Reward: 50 contribution points).

Note: Lingnet needs computing power, but in reality, we need to eat. Labor creates value, and contribution points will never be shortchanged for any hard worker.

III. [Personal Mission] (Exclusive to Project Divine Will)

Synopsis: The Heavenly Will Project implemented by Loulan requires many actors, and everyone can participate. The system will randomly assign exclusive role-playing tasks.

Task Examples and Rewards: Rewards vary depending on the importance of the storyline, with extremely high amounts (usually ranging from 1000 to 50000 contribution points).

IV. [Exploration Missions] (Grayed out, not yet available)

Synopsis: The vast universe and countless worlds are our ultimate journey.

Note: Please accumulate contribution points to redeem your own [Fourth Calamity] mechanical body! Only with the body can you unlock this mission.

After reading the introduction to the mission system, Kakashi casually swiped to a few other modules.

As expected, just as Minato had vaguely mentioned before, there is a [panoramic real-time map] that can dispel the fog of war throughout the entire ninja world, and even more so, an [open-source knowledge base] that drives people crazy.

Kakashi even found S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu with clearly marked prices and his father's "White Fang Sword Technique Insights" in the knowledge base!

"Senior Moon really came up with something amazing..." Kakashi took a deep breath.

While Kakashi was still reeling from Uchiha Yue's grand scheme...

"Wow! Kakashi-nii, look! I have a personal mission!"

Suddenly, Naruto's excited shouts came from the side.

Naruto whispered:

[Triggering a B-level personal performance mission: The Lonely Swing]

[Mission Background: You are an orphan with a fox spirit sealed within you. On the ninja academy's playground at sunset, while other children are picked up by their parents, you sit alone on a swing, utterly forlorn.]
