Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"However, the quality of their chakra is too weak. It's like the vanguard. If that Uchiha brat were to arrive in person, he wouldn't be hiding like this. But..."

Ban abruptly changed the subject, tapping his staff lightly on the ground, producing a clear, resonant sound.

"Since they were able to find this place, it means that they must possess a 'compass' for precise navigation between parallel universes."

Danzo instantly understood Madara's intention: "If we capture them, we can reverse-engineer the coordinates of the passage they came from! Perhaps we can fulfill Lord Madara's wish."

Danzo didn't want anyone to stay above him, even if they had no desire for his position. Getting rid of Madara was in his best interest.

“Not bad.” Madara nodded slightly. “Although they are just a bunch of insects, insects have their value. Danzo, send your army to test their strength. Don’t let them die too quickly; I want them alive.”

"I understand."

……

Meanwhile, at the border of the Land of Fields.

Several Root ninja corpses wearing animal masks were placed on a stone platform.

"Something's wrong, something's very wrong."

Nara Shikahisa stood up, his face now filled with gloom.

"What's wrong, Shikaku?" Tsunade stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over the corpses. "Although it took some effort, we still managed to crush them. Is there anything wrong with these people?"

"No, Lady Tsunade, this is not an ordinary Root."

Shikaku pointed to one of the corpses: "They were all Jonin. To treat Jonin like low-level clerks in the Land of Rice Fields is something Danzo would never do."

"In other words, the root of the intelligence we have is not like that."

"If it's not Danzo... then it's Orochimaru?" Tsunade guessed, following her train of thought.

"Orochimaru may have been involved in the execution of the technology, but he was definitely not the mastermind behind it. Think of it in a worse light."

"So, you mean, Six Paths Madara? They joined forces?" Tsunade's pupils contracted.

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this deduction, the entire underground stronghold fell into a deathly silence.

Six-spotted spots!

Moreover, it is highly likely that it is an "enhanced" version of Rokudo Madara who has already used the dragon vein to travel through countless parallel worlds and harvest a massive amount of unknown resources!

This name, like an insurmountable black mountain, weighs heavily on the hearts of every player in Undead Konoha.

In their original wasteland world, it was this man who turned the world into a graveyard ravaged by White Zetsu, leaving everyone to wait for death in despair within the Infinite Tsukuyomi!

New grudges combined with old hatreds made Tsunade feel a surge of hot blood rushing to the top of her head!

She gritted her teeth, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, wishing she could rush to Konoha right now and smash Danzo and Madara's heads together.

But she forced herself to restrain herself.

As the leader of this team, she is well aware of the responsibilities she bears.

Their team was able to pass that insane selection process not because of any absolute strength.

Instead, it was the indomitable will forged by these thousands of souls in the Pure Land, and the bug she created by frantically stacking lives with "resurrection coins".

They are not yet qualified to directly confront such a seasoned Six Paths level expert.

But... this is the [World Battlefield]! It's protected by countless weapons, blueprints, and restrictive magic arrays from the Spirit Realm Shop.

"Shikaku, we still have time, so what we need to do next is..."

"The other side is stronger than we imagined, but there is no denying that this is an opportunity."

Nara Shikaku deduced the coordinates on the holographic map: "We need to lure all of Danzo's forces scattered around the world into a large enough cage, and then wait for the second wave of troops to enter..."

Chapter 304 Shifting the Blame East

For the next two weeks, the entire "Military Country Konoha" timeline was locked in a tug-of-war.

Danzo wanted to obtain the information they possessed, while the people of Konoha wanted to gather the military strength of the entire world, including Konoha, into one place.

Danzo's "Cursed Seal Clone Army," which he was so proud of, was indeed powerful.

Under Orochimaru's Hashirama cells, these Root ninjas, who had no sense of pain, all possessed the destructive power of an ordinary Kage.

When they discovered the trail of the Undead Leaf Village, they immediately surged forward like a tidal wave, attempting to crush them with sheer numbers and power.

However, Danzo clearly underestimated the terror of the "players".

Although the players of Undead Konoha lack raw strength, they have the privileges of the [Spirit Realm Shop] and [Unlimited Resurrection]!

Chakra depleted?

Direct charging via the Spirit Network;

His arm was cut off?

Without hesitation, he detonated all the explosive tags on his body, taking the enemy down with him. Then, five minutes later, he was back, lively and energetic, rushing out of the time-space anchor to continue hacking people away!

This guerrilla warfare, meticulously designed by Shikaku, dragged the emotionless Root Army into an endless quagmire.

For every undead stronghold that the Roots wipe out, they have to pay ten or even a hundred times the cost in manpower.

But as time ticked by, less than three days remained before the one-month deadline for the arrival of the "second batch".

Inside the temporary base, Shikaku tapped the table: "Lady Tsunade, it's almost done."

"We have exhausted Danzo's patience. According to intelligence, he is concentrating tens of thousands of Root troops stationed on the borders of the five great nations toward the 'Valley of the End' on the border of the Land of Fire. He plans to have a decisive battle there, and Danzo, who possesses the strength of the Six Paths, will likely make his move."

“Very good.” Tsunade stood up. “Since he wants to play for high stakes, then we’ll raise the stakes too! Tell everyone to gather on the outskirts of the Valley of the End! It’s either them living or us dying.”

Tsunade cleverly used a spy who wanted to overthrow Danzo's rule to pass on the message.

……

three days later.

The vast army of roots covered the entire valley, making it completely impassable.

Danzo stood on a high rock, coldly looking down at the thousands of "black phantoms" driven to the brink of despair below.

"You have nowhere to run, ninjas from another world." Danzo raised his cane. "If you hand over the secret of your time travel, I might grant you some decency; otherwise..."

Tens of thousands of Root troops simultaneously formed hand seals, their immense chakra nearly tearing the sky apart.

However, facing this overwhelming attack, Tsunade, standing in the center of the encirclement, suddenly grinned.

She looked up and glanced at the countdown timer on the system panel, which was ticking away towards zero.

[Second batch of factions: S-002 Cloud Hidden - Lightning Release Sage Time and Space, beginning their descent!]

"Shikaku! Now!" Tsunade shouted.

"Space-time anchor point, transfer!"

As Shikaku formed the hand seals, a ghostly blue teleportation light instantly appeared beneath the feet of thousands of players from the Undead Konoha.

In the one-thousandth of a second before the root sealing technique was about to land, they transformed into countless streams of light and hid directly in the Divine Might Space.

At the very moment the dead vanished!

In the sky, an incredibly thick purple pillar of spacetime lightning crashed into the center of the Valley of the End!

"Hahaha! Finally, the moment has come! Konoha of the Dead, prepare to be baptized by lightning!!!"

Accompanied by the deafening roar of the Fourth Raikage, Aina.

Tens of thousands of [Cloud Hidden Thunder Release Sage Legion] appeared in the canyon!

Danzo, still in his sealed posture, stared at the group of burly men who had suddenly appeared, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"Who...who are these guys? Where are those rats from earlier?"

The Fourth Raikage, A, who had just landed, twisted his neck and looked around.

He saw the massive root army covering the mountains and maintaining an attack posture, and he also saw the one-eyed old man with bandages standing on a high place.

Given Raikage's straightforward and impulsive mindset, he simply couldn't be bothered to analyze the situation.

In his view, this is a distorted world ruled by Danzo, and any ninja from Konoha must be a cut above the rest!

The army covering the entire mountainside surrounded the teleportation point, clearly intending to ambush them as soon as they landed!

Those people from [Undead Leaf Village] really laid a good ambush.

"How dare you! You actually dare to camp at my landing point!"

The Fourth Raikage was so angry that his hair stood on end, and his lightning armor burst forth with a dazzling light!

"Kumakuya warriors! Those Konoha scum tried to ambush us! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

"kill!!!"

Tens of thousands of Lightning Release Sages instantly unleashed a massacre among the Root army!

"Thunderous Horizon Dance!"

"Lightning Release: Righteous Lightning Sinking Wrath Thunder Axe!"

These Cloud Village monsters, infused with the activity of Hashirama's cells, possess terrifying destructive power with every punch and kick, enough to shatter mountains!

Those "Jonin Root" members who were considered to be of decent strength in Danzo's eyes were torn to shreds the moment they came into contact with the Lightning Release Sage!

"This...this is impossible!"

Danzo looked down at the clone army being slaughtered unilaterally, his face showing considerable shock.

"Where did these monsters come from?"

However, he was no pushover either. His Six Paths level strength surged instantly, and in just a moment, he killed several members of the Thunder Release Sage Legion.

……

at the same time.

In a hidden stronghold hundreds of miles away.

"drop--!"

"Lightning Release Sage Legion losses +2, you gain 2 Civilization Points."
