Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Inside the Hokage Building, Hashirama Senju placed one foot on his desk: "I knew the Moon Brothers would come up with this kind of chaotic, all-ninja-world brawl!"

"Big brother! Get off the table right now!" Tobirama Senju roared, his face dark.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling window, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was fixed on the fan in his hand.

A smile crept onto his lips: "So this is a gathering of hundreds of powerful figures from parallel worlds... This is truly exhilarating."

Madara turned to look at Hashirama: "Hashirama, don't be too happy yet. This time we're not just facing ordinary minions. In those three hundred-plus worlds, there are probably countless 'you' and 'me' from different times and spaces, and even... there might be monsters that have already reached the Six Paths level."

"So what? We'll just crush them all!" Hashirama rubbed his hands excitedly. "How can the mere Six Paths possibly stop the truth?"

……

Code U-077: Konoha Under the Control of the Uchiha

This is the world where the Uchiha clan successfully staged a coup, crushing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, and was now dominated by the Uchiha clan.

In present-day Konoha, Fugaku Uchiha's face is carved on the Hokage Rock.

"Clan Chief! The announcement for the World War has been issued!" Uchiha Yatsuho excitedly rushed into the Hokage's office.

"It's finally here."

Fugaku chuckled lightly, "It's time to let all the parallel universes see just how powerful our Uchiha clan truly is when we lead Konoha."

"Yes!"

In the darkness of night, hundreds of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes lit up simultaneously.

Young Uchiha Sasuke watched all this with his arms crossed, a wide smile playing on his lips.

Chapter 279 Convergence of Multiple Timelines

Number X-999: The Fourth Shinobi World War Timeline

This is the timeline where the young Sasuke who traveled back in time originally resided.

It was also the timeline where Naruto told him that Uchiha Tsuki could travel through time.

In this timeline, the Fourth Shinobi World War ended extremely hastily.

Uchiha Yue descended in Yang Sage Mode and, in the time it takes to eat a meal, crushed Black Zetsu into ashes. He then casually rolled the Ten-Tails into a ball, sealed it away, and took it with him.

The crisis was resolved in such a way that it left Naruto in this timeline feeling empty.

Subsequently, this world was naturally incorporated into the Spirit Network's core territory.

At this moment, young Naruto stood on the devastated ruins of the battlefield from years ago, looking at the [World Battlefield] announcement that popped up on his retina.

"That guy named Uchiha Tsukuyomi really came up with something amazing..." Naruto swallowed hard. "But it looks really fun!"

……

In addition, in countless parallel universes, there are countless bizarre worlds that have been completely ruined due to the massive influx of players from the main world:

There is a world of shinobi who have been assimilated by the fanatical followers of Might Guy. The entire shinobi world is borderless, and everyone wears green bodysuits and shouts "Youth" while engaging in a chaotic taijutsu battle.

The world of Cyber ​​Capital is a place where a mercenary group led by Kakuzu has completely monopolized capital, to the point that even daimyo have to give Kakuzu IOUs.

There's even another world that Orochimaru completely transformed into a bio-punk world, teeming with mutated ninjas covered in snake scales who can freely insert and remove mechanical prosthetics...

At this moment, no matter what time or space they were in, no matter how outrageous their style was, all living beings raised their heads and looked intently at the sky.

Of course, this excludes a very few parallel universes that joined the Spirit Network a long time ago.

Across these more than three hundred bizarre parallel universes, what truly stands above everyone is still the heavily armed five major powers of the [main world]:

The Barrier Leaf Village, which is covered by planetary-level restrictions and fills the entire world with folded space arrays;

Having mastered "Yangxian Mode + Molecular-Level Dust Escape," the [Heavy Armor Rock Hidden] can easily turn entire mountain ranges into atoms;

The Immortal Cloud Village, which popularized the "Lightning Release Chakra Mode + Sage Body Cloning Modification", is now composed entirely of humanoid heavy tanks;

The [Mechanism Fog Concealment] team, which has sutured three or four bloodline limits on average and played with gene mutations in creative ways, is an example of this.

And then there's the [Magnetic Storm Sand Village], which uses electromagnetic force to drive hundreds of thousands of heavy war machines, with cannons and giant ships sweeping everything in its path.

When the 30-day preparation period ends, the countdown resets to zero.

Above the firmament of 342 parallel universes, one after another, enormous purplish-black star gates opened simultaneously!

[Teleportation initiated! Destination: World Tree Arena!]

……

This is a cross-dimensional central city that Uchiha Tsukuyomi painstakingly created in the void over several years, using the "Dragon Vein" as its core foundation and combining the physical manifestation of the "Limited Tsukuyomi" with the "Multidimensional Quantum Theory." Its purpose is to promote collaboration and resource exchange between various parallel ninja worlds.

As a "crossroads" connecting various parallel universes, this place has been gradually opened to many worlds for several months, and now it is bustling with people.

The battlefield is not here; this is a rest area for those who have been using the area.

As the teleportation lights flashed one after another, tens of millions of ninjas from various countries, bizarre cyborgs, and even civilians wearing mechs flooded into this magnificent mega-city like a tidal wave.

The first major collision in the multiverse did not immediately erupt into a cataclysmic battle.

The art style was immediately skewed by a bunch of legions dressed in green.

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

A roar that shattered the clouds resounded.

Might Guy in the main world looked at the 50,000 otherworldly ninjas, dressed in identical green bodysuits and sporting watermelon-shaped haircuts, lined up neatly in ten square formations in front of him, and was so moved that he burst into tears!

"Everyone! Is this what your burning youth is all about?"

"Teacher Kai!" Fifty thousand muscular men turned around at the same time, waving wildly at Kai with tears in their eyes. "The flame of youth will never be extinguished!"

"This is so touching! Come on! Let's do 100,000 one-handed push-ups as a greeting!"

"Yes!!!"

Looking at the sea of ​​green muscles undulating like ocean waves, Kakashi, who was in charge of leading the team, instantly covered his face, his dead fish eyes revealing a despair that made him want to die.

"If there's a crack in the ground... please let me crawl into it."

On the commercial street of the central city, wisps of smoke rise from chimneys, filling the air with delicious aromas.

Naruto sniffed and followed the aroma to a ramen shop. He looked up at the sign: [Ichiraku Ramen].

"Uncle! Give me a large bowl of special pork chop miso char siu noodles!"

However, when he lifted the curtain and went inside, he was dumbfounded.

Inside the noodle shop, there were not only more than a dozen "Naruto Uzumaki" characters of different ages and in different clothes, but even the noodle-selling uncle had three different versions!

One is a traditional white-hatted uncle; the other is a cyber-typed person wearing a hazmat suit and cooking noodles with a robotic arm.

There's another one, from Orochimaru's bio-world, squeezing a fluorescent green mutated protein nutrient paste into the noodle soup!

"Ugh... Is that green noodle really edible? Baka!" Killer Bee leaned over, his sunglasses tilting as he watched.

"What do you know! This is a high-explosive nutrient solution extracted from Hashirama's cells. One bite is equivalent to three days' worth of military rations!" Naruto from the bio-world rolled his eyes.

On the other side, Choji Akimichi was gnawing on a giant, three-meter-long roasted tentacle with shining eyes, asking the player from the Land of Water next to him indistinctly, "What kind of sea monster's meat is this? It's so chewy!"

"Oh, this is a slice of the tail of our mutated Three-Tailed Isobu. Try our dipping sauce made with Boiling Release, it's a perfect match!"

Harmony exists, but disputes will certainly exist as well.

However, they were all quickly suppressed by the Loulan law enforcement team.

……

On the floating throne at the highest point of the central city.

Uchiha Yue held a cup of black tea, with Uchiha Hikaru, who was wearing a light blue dress, in his arms, and looked down at the vibrant melting pot of the multiverse below.

"The traces of that Six Paths Madara have appeared in a timeline called [Military Country Konoha]." Hikaru gently took a bite of the three-colored dumpling.

"Military Konoha? That's really interesting. I guess Danzo must have mastered that timeline?"

Uchiha Yue chuckled and downed the red tea in his hand in one gulp.

"I was just thinking about how to design the competition format, this..."

Uchiha Yue slowly stood up, opened his arms, and his voice, transmitted through the spiritual network, instantly spread throughout the entire world:

"Rest time is over, fellow ninjas."

Chapter 280 First Round of Preliminaries

"Next, the rules for the [World Battlefield] are officially announced!"

The once bustling Central City fell silent in an instant.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the holographic golden scroll that popped up on their retina.

"The enemy beyond the stars is far stronger than you can even imagine. Therefore, the weak are not even qualified to step into the final battlefield."

"The first round is the [Basic Selection Competition]."

"I will send a [Basic Test Body] created by Loulan Technology to each of your participating parallel worlds, whose strength reaches the Six Paths level."

"It lacks the will to evolve on its own, but it possesses the purest Truth-Seeking Balls, Yin-Yang Release, and a chakra level dozens of times greater than that of a Kage!"

"The rules are simple: destroy or seal this physical body within three days, on a global scale, without relying on the assistance of the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura, or other fundamental forces of the world."

"If the combined power of an entire ninja world cannot even overcome this most rigid Six Paths level puppet... then your world will only receive 10 Civilization Points as a minimum reward for participation."

Be civilized at 10 o'clock!

This was enough to make many ninja civilizations that had just been incorporated into the Spirit Network secretly delighted.

While 10 points won't get you "cross-dimensional resurrection" or "god-level technology," they can get you countless basic resources, including technology blueprints, food, factory data, and so on.

This is already a great deal for them, who are just starting out.

"And once you get past this preliminary round, you'll be able to enter the second round of the group stage."

"All advancing worlds will be randomly divided into groups of four for a single round-robin tournament. Winners will receive 3 points, draws will receive 1 point, and losers will receive 0 points."

"The top ten civilizations in the points race will undertake a special mission to rank them according to their performance..."
