Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Feeling the touch from her fingertips, Uchiha Tsuki nodded to the person behind her.

"Orochimaru, Sasori, move our equipment over here. We'll set up a temporary data link right here and connect it to the main server of the [Chakra Spirit Network] in Loulan!"

Yue withdrew her hand, turned around, and gave the order.

"Hehehe... As you command, Moon Lord." Orochimaru's interest remained undiminished, and he immediately directed the mecha unit behind him to begin setting up the equipment.

The laboratory was completed in just a few hours.

As countless chakra fibers were physically connected to the remains of Otsutsuki Shibakai, the computing power of hundreds of worlds was instantly poured down.

On the holographic projection screen, the dense black incantations were magnified with billions of times the precision.

"These black runes... they look like the code we used to analyze the eye techniques!"

"Yes."

Uchiha Yue placed his hands on the control panel and quickly summarized the feedback data.

"In the traditional understanding of the ninja world, we refine chakra and then guide it through hand seals to release ninjutsu."

"But the so-called 'divine arts' of the Otsutsuki clan, such as Omnipotence, Reflection, and Daikokuten... these powers do not require hand seals or complex chakra guidance."

"why?"

"Because these incantations, in essence, are the most fundamental concepts and rules of this universe!"

"If we compare the Mangekyou Sharingan-specific eye techniques we studied before (such as Kamui and Amaterasu) to a small piece of local program code written in a 'gene neuron';

Therefore, these incantations on the remains of Ōtsutsuki Shibai are rules directly inscribed into the 'world'!

Orochimaru understood what Yue meant: "Yue-kun, do you mean... divine arts are the application of the rules themselves?"

"Completely correct."

Yue nodded: "Obito's [Limited Tsukuyomi] can create a parallel imaginary space because he used Yin Release to touch and establish the rules of that space, and the Otsutsuki clan's divine arts are the ultimate manifestation of the application of these rules."

"but……"

Yue chuckled softly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain for the Otsutsuki clan:

"Although the Otsutsuki clan possesses these divine arts, their use of these powers is more like an instinct!"

"They continuously devour chakra fruits, allowing their genes to evolve until their bodies grow 'organs' or 'runes' that represent certain rules. When they use divine arts, it's as natural as a beast opening its mouth to bite or a bird flapping its wings to fly."

"They only know 'how to use' it, but they have no idea about the 'why' behind these rules or the 'underlying code structure'!"

"Just like when the Uchiha clan awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and used ocular techniques."

The Otsutsuki clan obtains finished products through devouring, which is a kind of "foolproof software". What Uchiha Tsuki wants to do now is to completely reverse engineer and crack the "source code" of this software!

"In other words, as long as we deconstruct these incantation rules etched into the bones..."

"By then, everyone will be able to master divine arts, and everyone will be at the Six Paths level, and a Six Paths level that does not depend on bloodline!"

While the entire research team was immersed in deciphering the "divine code"...

Boom!!!

The area above the Kara organization's base was suddenly blasted open by a massive surge of chakra!

"Friends, we're here to help."

With a roar, a figure engulfed in golden Nine-Tails chakra crashed heavily into the ruins of the underground base!

Following closely behind were the adult Uchiha Sasuke wielding the Kusanagi sword, and Konoha high-ranking officials such as Nara Shikamaru.

The long-awaited Konoha local rescue team finally arrived at the battlefield.

As soon as Sasuke landed, his Rinnegan activated instantly, and he warily scanned his surroundings.

However, when the smoke cleared and they could see what was in front of them, they all froze on the spot like wooden statues.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

Naruto raised his head blankly and looked around.

Sasuke's breath hitched slightly, then he turned to look at Naruto and whispered, "Naruto, look over there."

Naruto followed Sasuke's gaze.

When the two figures dressed in ordinary casual clothes, smiling and looking at him, came into view.

The Seventh Hokage, who was already middle-aged, was struck dumb.

"Dad... Dad? Mom?"

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki slowly stepped forward.

Kushina looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was even taller than herself, and smiled gently.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and hugged the Seventh Hokage, who was renowned throughout the ninja world, tightly.

“Naruto…you’ve grown so much…”

Minato Namikaze stepped forward and patted Naruto on the broad shoulder: "Well done, Naruto, you have truly become a great Hokage."

After a long while, Naruto, whose emotions had gradually calmed down, composed himself.

He looked at his young parents, then at the group of otherworldly ninjas not far away, and suddenly felt a wave of weariness.

Another world...represents countless political affairs...

So annoying.

Over the years, in order to protect the village, he has struggled with endless documents and meetings every day, and has no time to spend with his family.

Suddenly, something occurred to him. He looked at his father, who had also been a Hokage, and couldn't help but ask:

"Dad... I finally understand how tiring it is to be Hokage."

Naruto scratched his head, his tone filled with longing:

"There are endless official duties to handle every day, enemies that may appear at any time, and the need to balance the relationships between various clans... Dad, how did you manage things in your timeline? How exactly do you become a Hokage who makes everyone happy?"

Hearing Naruto's question, which was full of the "Will of Fire".

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki exchanged a glance.

The two of them simultaneously recalled their outrageous antics during the "Unity of Truth and Konoha" event:

He went into hiding dressed as a servant, allowed Uchiha Tsukuyomi to use Kotoamatsukami to brainwash the Third Hokage and Danzo into becoming his tools, monopolized the global economy with the Chakra Network, and finally even fooled the heads of the major ninja clans, directly initiating a "peaceful coup"...

There was a two-second silence.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

Minato and Kushina suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter at the same time.

"Dad? Mom?" Naruto looked at his parents, who were laughing so hard they were doubled over, with a completely bewildered expression.

Minato finally managed to stop laughing, and he patted Naruto on the shoulder:

"Naruto... the Will of Fire you bear is truly great."

"But the way our Konoha appointed a Hokage..."

Minato glanced at Uchiha Tsuki, who was cracking the code in the distance, and smiled meaningfully:

"Well, our way of being Hokage is rather... 'flexible'."

"I'm afraid you can't learn it, you silly son."

Chapter 329 Even a Super Shadow is Worth a Dog, Six Paths Walk the Ground

Spring goes and autumn comes, and the seasons change.

Twenty years have passed since the raid on the Boruto timeline that forcibly seized the remains of the Otsutsuki God from the Kara organization.

Twenty years, for Otsutsuki Shibakai who has ascended to the concept of the universe, is perhaps just the time it takes to close his eyes and take a nap.

But for this multiverse whose underlying logic was completely rewritten by Uchiha Yue, these eight years have crossed a chasm that ordinary civilizations would find difficult to cross even in tens of thousands of years.

For thousands of days and nights, the [Chakra Web], like an ever-extending spider web, spread wildly from the main world to the boundless parallel universe.

The frenzy of exploration and pioneering has long since transcended occasional "smuggling."

With the tireless efforts of countless "Fourth Calamity" players and the support of a massive amount of [Civilization Points], the forces under Uchiha Yue's command achieved a true "all-time-space arrival".

From the most ancient and barbaric era of mortals to the founding era of the Ninja Cult when chakra had just been born;

From the Warring States period, a time of fierce competition and bloodshed, to the late Warring States period when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha made peace.

From the early days of Konoha to the war-torn periods of World War I, World War II, World War III, and World War IV;

Even the future world of Boruto, filled with the shadow of the Otsutsuki clan and the nascent stage of technology...

Every moment in the history of the ninja world that is etched in history, every familiar plot twist, has spawned dozens or even hundreds of parallel universes.

These parallel worlds, which were once like isolated islands, have all been uniformly incorporated into Uchiha Yue's territory!

The course of each parallel universe also becomes unpredictable due to the interference of Uchiha Yue and the participants.

This brought about many changes to the future of various ninja worlds and provided many references for ninja civilizations on their respective paths.

These references and developments will be revealed in the World Battlefield, which takes place every four years.

If the first World Battlefield was merely a "village battle" where various ninja villages were just beginning to explore the world, then the two subsequent tournaments held over the next eight years completely transformed into a "super meat grinder" spanning across galaxies.

Countless new parallel forces have emerged like dark horses, vying for supremacy in the brutal elimination rounds.

There is a [Berserk Interstellar Martial Arts School] that perfectly combines the "Eight Gates Formation" with "Mechanical Ascension," capable of shattering dimensional crystal walls into dust with a single kick;

There is an "Ultimate Dojutsu Synthesis Legion" that uses cloning technology to transplant the Rinnegan and Tenseigan into every member, and uses tens of thousands of "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosions" to wipe out the enemy on the battlefield;

They created the "Art is the Explosive Legion" by using the techniques of "Impure World Reincarnation" and "True Illusion" to have all members learn art;

Driven by the reward of strategic resources like "Civilization Points," the victors gain access to higher-dimensional technologies and resources to continue exploring new worlds, while the losers learn from their mistakes and engage in fierce infighting within the virtual space of the Spirit Network.

This cycle, almost like raising a venomous insect, keeps pushing the limits of combat power across the entire multiverse.

Even today, within the vast territory covered by the [Chakra Spirit Network], a saying circulates that all players deeply agree with:

"Even a shadow is worse than a dog, and the Six Paths of Hell walk all over the place."

This is by no means an arrogant statement.
