Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

He specially spent 5,000 points to improve the basic body, which allows him to use the Eight Gates Formation without reservation.

"Being able to travel to unknown worlds and collect unknown materials... this is simply the perfect research trip."

Jiraiya mingled in the crowd, chuckling to himself. Although he appeared to be there to gather material, he was actually filled with curiosity about those parallel worlds.

Amidst this frenzied wave, a figure stood outside the metal door of the Loulan underground core hub.

That was a young Tsunade.

The moon brought them back from that time of despair.

She was dressed in a sleek green combat suit, her hands clenched tightly together.

Behind her was the "Old Tsunade" from the main timeline.

"Your Excellency Yue."

When Uchiha Tsuki walked out of the laboratory, the young Tsunade immediately went to greet him.

“I didn’t manage to get the base body, but I hope to participate in this exploration mission. Also… I hope you can anchor the coordinates to ‘that world.’ I think this turmoil in the parallel world might be related to that Ban.”

"Oh?" Uchiha Tsukuyomi stopped and looked at her with some surprise. He hadn't expected that Tsunade had the same idea as him.

"Is it really not because we couldn't get the prototype?"

The young Tsunade blushed: "That's part of the reason, but I think Madara is the biggest cause of this situation."

Looking at the young Tsunade, Uchiha Yue remained silent for a moment.

Then, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"But you know better than anyone how terrifying that world is. Madara has already reached the Six Paths level... If your guess is wrong, then having more of these bodies is just sending them to his death."

Yue snapped her fingers: "The coordinates were originally being randomly selected, but considering your and another Tsunade's contributions to building a medical organization for Loulan, I'll make an exception and give you a physical body to fix your coordinates."

"Thank you!" The young Tsunade bowed deeply.

……

Two days later.

The teleportation array beneath Loulan erupted with a purplish-black light that shot straight into the sky.

One hundred thousand physical bodies instantly dissipated into the coordinates of infinite parallel spacetime.

As soon as the young Tsunade's consciousness descended upon the prepared body, she heard the system's voice.

[Spatial coordinates have been locked.]

[Consciousness ascending complete, body synchronization rate 100%.]

[Target: Collapsed Time-Space Number B-001.]

The Fourth Calamity has arrived!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the last physical body's consciousness successfully connected.

Hundreds of dazzling rays of light forcibly tore through the dimensional barrier and crashed down into that despairing world shrouded in thick, dark clouds!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of heavy thuds followed.

When this group of players, who harbored dreams of getting rich and enthusiasm for pioneering new frontiers, opened their eyes, the excitement on their faces was frozen in a chill within seconds.

What kind of world is this?!

The sky is no longer blue.

The entire sky was covered by a layer of viscous, blood-red clouds, and the huge light of the [Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan] was reflected on the moon, like a huge, unseeing eyeball, coldly watching over this land.

There was no sunshine, no breeze.

The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood and burning.

"Is this another world? Wait... is this Konoha Village?"

Kakashi stood atop a high pile of ruins, his dead fish eyes trembling violently.

Because it was a random teleportation from a parallel universe, he also ended up here.

Not only him, but also Shikaku, Kai, and others came to this world by chance, staring incredulously at Konoha Village beneath their feet.

Looking around, there's not a trace of the once bustling ninja village here.

The once towering Hokage Rock was cleaved in two by a sword from the middle by some force, and the statues of the Hokage of all generations were reduced to rubble.

The streets and houses disappeared, replaced by countless thick, grayish-white roots of the sacred tree.

"What the hell is that thing hanging on that tree?"

A player from Cloud Village pointed in horror at the towering trees.

Countless giant white cocoons hung densely from the branches of the sacred tree.

Through the translucent cocoon, one can clearly see the human being inside.

Their eyes were closed, and they wore eerie yet serene smiles.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

The young Tsunade, who led the team to the scene, suddenly felt her legs go weak when she saw the scene before her, which resembled a living hell.

"Did it ultimately turn out like this?"

Kakuzu also appeared in the crowd. Looking at the ruins, he cursed angrily, "There's not a single living person in this godforsaken place! Where am I supposed to get intelligence with my contribution points?!"

However, before the players could recover from their shock...

"Click-click-click..."

The earth suddenly trembled violently.

The roots of the sacred tree that had been growing in the ruins suddenly began to wriggle!

Immediately afterwards, countless pale white figures crawled out from the soil and under the tree roots.

Those were a group of monsters without facial features and with pale skin—White Zetsu!

However, they are completely different from the White Zetsu of the main world.

Every White Zetsu here has sharp bone spikes growing on its body, and its eyes even emit faint Rinnegan ripples. They are combat weapons that have been greatly enhanced by Madara Uchiha!

Once they were discovered, thousands of white zealots let out chilling roars and surged towards the "outsiders" like a white tide!

"Holy crap! These monsters... any one of them has the aura of a Jonin!"

"Don't panic, brothers! We're immortal! Let's fight them for contribution points!"

"Hey, the base body costs 2000 contribution points."

"But they might possess even more valuable intelligence!"

"Too."

After the initial panic, the players' fighting spirit was fully ignited.

Anyway, I won't die, at most I'll just waste 2000 contribution points.

If you train hard for a month, or act for a day or two, you'll be a hero again.

They drew their weapons, formed hand seals, and unleashed ninjutsu, colliding fiercely with the group of white monsters!

"Sixth Gate! Open!"

From the crowd, Matt Kay let out a deafening roar.

Like an ancient ferocious beast unleashed from its cage, he kicked hundreds of enhanced white Zetsu in front of him into dust!

"Hahaha! This is youth!!!"

"Boom! Bang! Sizzle—!"

Explosions and sounds of fighting shattered the tranquility of this deathly silent world.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg in this desperate world.

Chapter 267 Possible Clues

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Violent explosions echoed continuously over Konoha Village.

However, no matter how much firepower the players unleashed, the White Zetsu army continued to pour out from underground!

"How can there be so many?"

Kakuzu's hands transformed into jet-black tentacles, and his Earth Grudge Mask frantically spewed out composite ninjutsu, instantly wiping out a large wave of White Zetsu.

Kakuzu is relatively lucky. As a mercenary, he has extensive combat experience and is a Kage-level fighter, so he is quite adept at handling the current situation.

But the other Chunin and Jonin suffered the consequences.

"Ahhh!"

A player from the Cloud Village was accidentally pounced on by several White Zetsu. In the blink of an eye, his mechanical flesh and blood body, worth two thousand contribution points, was torn to shreds by countless White Zetsu!

With a flash of white light, the player's consciousness was forcibly ejected back into the main world.

"We can't keep going like this! The base body has a limited amount of chakra."

Standing atop the ruins, Nara Shikaku calmly surveyed the entire situation while manipulating his shadows to strangle the approaching White Zetsu.

“Their numbers are based on the entire world’s population! We only have a few hundred people. If we continue fighting, we will waste this opportunity that has come to us.”

Without hesitation, Shikaku swiftly formed hand seals and, through the [Chakra Spirit Network] team channel, issued instructions to all players who had arrived at this location:

"Attention everyone! This is Nara Shikaku. Abandon positional warfare! Taijutsu and destructive ninjas, lead the way in a cone formation and break out of the village immediately! We are about to conduct a strategic retreat!"

The people of Konoha reacted instantly when they heard it was Nara Shikaku.

The other ninja villagers looked at each other, but the situation left them no choice but to follow orders.

"Kai! It's up to you!" Kakashi swung his Raikou, severing the White Zetsu that lunged at Shikaku.
