Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Without warning, a burst of light erupted across the entire sky of the Spirit Realm.

Immediately afterwards, a huge light screen that occupied the entire field of vision popped up in front of the retinas of all players who logged into the Spirit Realm!

Accompanied by an exciting system notification sound, lines of large text flooded the screen like a waterfall:

[Server-wide announcement! Server-wide announcement!]

[The 'Interdimensional Exploration Mission' has reached its progress target; the Chakra Network 3.0 expansion is now officially live!]

[Version Update Announcement: Territory System!]

"Territory system?"

Everyone held their breath, staring at the detailed explanation on the screen.

[Territory System Introduction]:

The vast multiverse and endless parallel universes are not only a hunting ground full of treasures, but also an unclaimed land waiting for you to conquer!

Starting today, all players participating in the interdimensional exploration can establish their own [Exclusive Territory] in a parallel universe!

[Core Gameplay: 'Civilization Assimilation' and 'Node Parallel Connection']

Players can claim the [Improved Version of the Ming Seal Basic Textbook] for free in the store.

Players must, within a parallel universe, use any means necessary to teach the native inhabitants of that world how to successfully inscribe the [Ming Seal]!

Whenever an alien native successfully inscribes the Bright Seal, that native is transformed into a [Spirit Network Node].

When the number of "child nodes" developed by a player in a certain parallel universe reaches a certain threshold (e.g., 100, 1000, 10000), the player can claim land and build a city in that world, officially activating the [Territory]!

[Territory-Exclusive Privileges]:

Profit Sharing: As the lord, you will permanently receive a 5% cut of the contribution points earned by each otherworldly sealed host you develop!

Cross-dimensional Summoning: The higher the territory level, the more physical entities you can summon to other worlds at the same time!

Title: If you can increase the penetration rate of "Ming Seal" in a parallel world to over 80%, you will be appointed by the system as the [World Lord] of that world and enjoy a one-time ultimate reward of [Emergency Points] and 100 million contribution points!

After reading the message, the entire hall fell silent.

After reading the announcement, all the players' eyes gradually turned red.

A Konoha Chunin trembled as he extended a finger, "As long as the people from another world learn that 'Bright Sealing Technique,' I can... take a cut permanently?"

"If you develop a hundred people, even if you do nothing all day but sit in the real world drinking tea, you can still earn a steady stream of contribution points?!"

"What if this develops to ten thousand people... a hundred thousand people... or even a country?!"

Kakuzu, standing at the back of the crowd, was trembling violently.

As a veteran bounty hunter who has lived for almost a century and is obsessed with money, Kakuzu's brain instantly caught on.

"Each person takes a 5% cut... If I were to cross over and conquer a small country, developing 100,000 downlines..."

Kakuzu counted on his fingers, his breathing heavy like a broken bellows.

"Even if 100,000 people only refine the most basic chakra every day, even if they only give me 1 contribution point as a commission... I can earn 100,000 points a day by doing nothing but lying in a rocking chair?!"

"100,000 points! How many S-rank forbidden techniques could that buy?"

Kakuzu completely lost his mind. He shoved aside several Kirigakure ninjas blocking his way and transformed into a blur as he frantically lunged at the [Mall Terminal].

"I want to buy 'The Basic Textbook of Ming Dynasty Sealing'!"

Kakuzu's roar was like a spark falling into a powder keg, instantly igniting the entire Spirit Realm Hall!

After a brief moment of deathly silence, all the players' thought processes were completely cleared up at that moment.

Yes!

Who says going to a parallel universe means you have to rob people?

How many contribution points are those things worth?

In the crowd, Might Guy was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he hugged Kakashi, who looked utterly dejected.

"Kakashi! Did you hear that?! Not only can you go to another world and work up a sweat, but you can also let people from other worlds feel the rhythm of youth!"

Kai gave a thumbs up: "I've made up my mind! I'm going to establish ten thousand 'Youthful Martial Arts Dojos' in parallel worlds! The first thing any apprentice who joins a dojo will do upon entering is to have their Bright Seal inscribed! I want the flame of youth to burn throughout the entire multiverse!!!"

"...This is basically an illegal pyramid scheme." Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes, but silently, he also opened the store and quickly bought ten sets of textbooks.

After all, he still needed a lot of contribution points to revive his father, White Fang, so going to another world to collect "commissions" from people was indeed a sure-fire way to make money.

Meanwhile, the Kage of the five great ninja villages were even more restless in the air above the hall!

Players may only be thinking about it, but they really have a chance to do it.

Chapter 274 The Era of Great Exploration

The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.

Inside the towering Tuying office building, the heavy stone doors were tightly shut.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, hovered in mid-air, staring at the latest announcement that popped up on his retina, lost in thought.

During the time when Uchiha Tsuki reshaped the ninja world with absolute power, Onoki was constantly pondering:

What does the future hold for Iwagakure?

The times are advancing at a terrifying pace, and those who cling to the old knowledge on ancient stone tablets are destined to be crushed under the wheels of history.

Ultimately, his gaze was fixed on the top-level X-level secret in the Open Source Knowledge Base: "Yangxian Mode and the Theory of Macroscopic Interference of Gravity".

"'Dust Release' combined with 'Super Light Rock Technique,' if it could be perfectly integrated with the natural energy and gravitational micro-management of this Yang Sage Mode..."

Dust Release, as a bloodline limit directly affecting the unit level, is arguably the most destructive force in the ninja world.

If the immense, ever-renewing vitality of the Yangxian mode is superimposed, could its destructive power penetrate directly into the more microscopic atomic level?

Could its coverage area expand from a few hundred meters to several times, or even destroy an entire mountain range?

Although Onoki had not conducted any experiments, this deduction alone excited the elderly Tsuchikage.

However, as a core secret at the X level, the Yangxian Mode not only requires extremely high privileges, but also an astronomical amount of contribution points.

The shortcut service of "forcibly imparting prior knowledge" alone is priced at a terrifying five million contribution points!

Of course, the basic theoretical derivations are free and open source.

But at Onoki's age, it's uncertain how many more years it will take for him to fully grasp that cross-dimensional knowledge on his own.

He can't wait, and neither can Iwagakure.

Now, the opening of the [Territory System] has given him hope.

"Pass down the order!" Onoki slammed his hand on the stone table. "Send out all the elite ninjas of the Land of Earth to explore! We need to find a 'new world' that is specifically suitable for our Iwagakure to take root and develop!"

……

at the same time.

The Land of Lightning, in the Hidden Cloud Village, in the office of the Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage, A, was staring intently at the holographic panel in front of him.

"The Theory of Removing Life Limiters and Activating Immortal Cells" is a top-tier biotechnology that he immediately recognized as a promising candidate.

"If we could acquire this technology and deeply integrate 'Sage Chakra Cell Activation' with our Cloud Village's 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode' passed down through generations... it would not only perfectly resolve the cell damage caused by the Raging Lightning Release, but also allow our physical strength to break through the limits of carbon-based life forms!"

Lightning Release Chakra Mode primarily focuses on activating the body's potential. The strength of the body determines the upper limit of Lightning Release Chakra Mode. If they learned this knowledge, how powerful would their bodies be? And if they activated a Penetrating Chakra Mode, how strong would its penetrating power be?

Ai: "At that time, every elite of my Cloud Hidden Sect will possess a tireless immortal body. If this technology is then applied to the descending mechanical bodies..."

Of course, the price of contribution points ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

"Mabui! Darui!" Raikage roared, summoning his trusted men from outside the door.

"Lord Raikage!"

"Issue an official mobilization order immediately! Send out all the ninjas from the village!" The Raikage waved his hand. "We need to find a parallel world rich in resources, a place where our Land of Lightning can truly flourish!"

……

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Beyond the perpetual fog, the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, stood quietly before the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Mizukage Building.

Unlike Onoki and the Raikage, she wasn't impulsive; instead, she elegantly held a glass of red wine, contemplating the future of the Land of Water.

On her retina, the redemption interface for "Gene Editing and Bloodline Recombination Technology" was quietly floating.

"The Land of Blood Mist..."

Mei Terumi gently touched her red lips, recalling the Kaguya clan and the Yuki clan who were brutally slaughtered by the Fourth Mizukage, a trace of pain flashing in her emerald eyes.

"But with this technology, the future of Wuyin will no longer be limited by traditional bloodline reproduction."

Mei Terumi's lips curled into a smile: "Since Uchiha Tsuki can remove the polluted genes from his bloodline, why can't we do the opposite? Using cloning and gene fusion technology, we can frantically collect all kinds of rare bloodline samples in those abandoned parallel worlds!"

"Ice Release, Lava Release, Boil Release, Corpse Bone Pulse... I will perfectly stitch these genes together! To create a bloodline monster that transcends all reason!"

However, looking at the exorbitant price of contribution points, Terumi Mei sighed helplessly and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

"Indeed, no matter the era, leapfrog development always requires a massive amount of money to pave the way."

She turned around and looked at Ao and Chojuro standing solemnly behind her.

"Send the order to the Anbu." Mei Terumi's voice regained the authority and coldness of the Mizukage. "Officially launch the [Deep Sea Exploration Project]. We need a massive amount of contribution points to find a 'gene bank' specifically adapted to the characteristics of our Land of Water."

……

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure Village.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, sat in a dimly lit secret room.

The in-game store interface related to flesh and blood evolution was not open in front of him.

Instead, his gaze was fixed intently on the blueprints for "Giant Mechanical Exoskeleton and Power Furnace".

"Lord Uchiha Yue, you have truly shown me the most perfect path."

Luo Sha slowly spread his hands, and a wisp of golden sand danced on his fingertips.

“My bloodline limit is ‘Magnet Release,’ and the essence of Magnet Release… is electromagnetic force! Manipulating metal… manipulating magnetic fields.”
