Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

……

About half a year has passed since Yue's first time traveling through time.

The time ratio is roughly 1:2, with the main timeline being six months and the secondary timeline being one year.

Over the past six months, Loulan's technological advancements have progressed steadily without encountering any major problems or external threats.

Perhaps because of the turmoil left over from the Third Shinobi World War, all the ninja villages were still slowly licking their wounds, and no one paid attention to the Loulan in the corner.

early morning.

"Splash—"

In the luxurious royal suite bathroom, Uchiha Hikaru stared warily at the metal showerhead that was spraying hot water, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

During the Warring States period, bathing meant quickly rinsing in icy river water or wiping oneself with a simple wooden bucket.

Here, simply turn on the shiny metal valve, and hot water at a constant temperature will flow out continuously without any fuss.

"Is this also... some kind of unknown bloodline limit?"

Guang stretched out her wet little hand and tentatively poked at the water. The warm touch made her squint her eyes comfortably.

Although she had already been in Loulan for three days, every detail of this steel city still had a great impact on the worldview of this girl from the Warring States period.

"This is not a bloodline limit, this is called a water heater, which is powered by electricity and waste heat from the dragon vein."

There was a knock on the bathroom door, and Uchiha Tsuki's voice came through: "Hey Hikaru, you've been in there for over half an hour. If you don't come out soon, your skin will be all wrinkled."

"Hmm...right away."

Guang hurriedly turned off the valve, grabbed the incredibly soft bath towel, and wrapped himself up tightly.

When she walked out of the bathroom with her wet, messy hair, Yue was sitting on the sofa by the window, flipping through a stack of test reports on "chakra capacitance".

Seeing the light, Yue naturally put down the documents and waved: "Come here and dry your hair."

Guang obediently walked over and sat on the small stool in front of Yue.

"Om-"

The sound of a hairdryer started.

At first, Hikari was a little tense, thinking it was some kind of wind-style ninja tool, but when Yue's slender fingers ran through her hair and gently stroked her scalp with the warm breeze, her tense shoulders completely relaxed.

"moon."

"Ok?"

"Is this... really the future?" Just looking at myself in the mirror, with a rosy complexion and wearing a silk nightgown, I felt like I was in a dream that I could wake up at any moment.

"This is the present, and it is also our future."

Yue turned off the hairdryer, picked up a comb to smooth her long hair, and gently touched the light purple diamond-shaped seal between her eyebrows with her fingertips.

"As long as I'm still here, you won't have to go back to that cold tent."

Guang raised her hand and pressed down on Yue's hand that was on her head, a hint of affection flashing in her clear black and white eyes.

However, this warmth did not last long.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Chapter 31 Family Hero

There was a rhythmic knocking on the door, followed by a woman's voice:

"Lord Yue, this is Sara. I have compiled information regarding the Land of Wind and the surrounding areas of Konoha."

Before Yue could speak, the door was pushed open.

Queen Sarah has now shed her youthful naiveté.

She wore a well-tailored, practical dark red queen's uniform, her long red hair tied up high, exuding a confident, mature, and commanding leadership aura.

"Good morning, Lord Yue." Sarah walked into the room with elegant steps. Her gaze paused slightly when she saw Yue combing Guang's hair, then she gave a polite but slightly meaningful smile. "It seems I've come at the wrong time?"

"No, you've come at the perfect time."

Yue didn't think anything was wrong and casually put down the comb.

"What did Konoha say?"

Sarah walked to the table, placed a sealed intelligence scroll down, and then very casually poured Yue a cup of hot tea.

"As you predicted, in Konoha, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's wife, Kushina Uzumaki, is due to give birth in the next two or three months, with the exact date yet to be determined. The village's barrier defense level has been raised to the highest level, and the Anbu are being mobilized very frequently."

As Sarah spoke, she leaned slightly forward and pointed to several points on the map that were very close to the moon.

The scent of her perfume, characteristic of mature women, mixed with the aroma of tea, wafted through the air.

Uchiha Hikaru sat on a small stool, still holding a strand of hair that Yue had just combed in his hand.

She looked at the red-haired woman in front of her.

The woman was very tall, had a great figure, knew many of the strange terms Yue used, and could even help Yue with those complicated drawings.

Uchiha Hikaru, aside from killing, hand seals, and using Amaterasu, knew nothing else.

What's most infuriating is... (`へ'≠)

The way this woman looked at the moon made me increasingly uncomfortable; her level of affection for her was palpable.

Uchiha Hikaru felt as if... his territory had been invaded.

"moon."

Guang suddenly stood up, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat that thing called a hamburger."

Yue, who was discussing with Sarah, paused for a moment and turned to look at Guang.

The little girl had her cheeks puffed out, and although her Mangekyou Sharingan wasn't activated, it gave off an air of "If you dare not agree, I'll burn this place down."

Sarah was also stunned. She looked at the light, then at the moon, and found it somewhat amusing: "Perfect timing, the royal chef just finished preparing breakfast. Shall I have someone bring it up?"

"unnecessary."

Light walked between Moon and Sarah, squeezing into the narrow gap, then stretched out both hands and tightly hugged Moon's arm, as if asserting its dominance.

She looked up at Sarah and said, word by word:

"Yue said she would take me out to eat today. Just the two of us, alone!"

The air seemed to freeze for a second.

Yue looked down at Guang, who resembled a little wolf cub guarding its food, and then at Sara, who had a playful smile on her face.

Even though he had manipulated the Uchiha clan at will during the Warring States period, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on at this moment.

This is what is known as... the prototype of a chaotic battlefield?

No, it's more like a small animal that's afraid of being abandoned and its fur standing on end.

To be honest, he had never thought about feelings, especially in this era of uncertainty.

Yue is twenty-two years old, and Guang is about fourteen years old.

Yue sees him like a college student sees a junior high school student. He's overjoyed to have a younger sister like this, but with a wife like this, it's time to discuss whether or not it's a criminal matter.

Anyway, there's no punishment now.

As for Sarah, he was somewhat unsure of her feelings for him.

He couldn't imagine that Sarah could have an emotional connection with someone he barely saw throughout the year.

However, some of the frizzy hairs are undeniably cute...

"Cough cough."

Yue cleared her throat, then took Guang's cool little hand in her other hand, gently squeezed it, and transmitted a soothing chakra.

"Sarah, leave the intelligence here for now, I'll read it myself."

"Since my family's light is hungry, I'll put my work aside for now."

Yue smiled apologetically at Sarah, "You know, my sister has a bit of a stubborn temper."

Sarah gave an elegant bow: "Since it is Lord Moon's decision, then I will not disturb you any longer. However... please do not forget the important matters in the Land of Wind."

"rest assured."

"I'll go and meet the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa."

Having only been in office for a little over six months, you're already thinking about establishing your authority. Luo Sha, you've really got some nerve.

Of course, Luo Sha is not targeting Loulan yet, but it is obvious to everyone that he is targeting all forces within the entire Wind Kingdom.

In the original story, he probably failed, but now that he has Loulan, it probably won't take much effort to stop him.

……

The commercial street of Loulan is ablaze with neon lights and steam rising from it.

Uchiha Hikaru held a double cheeseburger in one hand and clung tightly to Yue's clothes with the other, as if Yue would disappear if he let go.

"Is it good?" Yue couldn't help but laugh as she watched her mouth covered in sauce.

"Hmm." Guang nodded, took a big bite of the meat pie, and said indistinctly, "It's a million times better than soldier's rations, better than sweet potatoes, and better than grilled fish... but not quite as good as Yue's grilled fish."

"As long as it tastes good." Yue bought a skewer of candied hawthorns from a roadside stall and handed it to her. "But Guang, there was no need to be so hostile towards Sarah just now. She is our partner. In the past few months while I was away, Loulan has developed to this extent thanks in no small part to her."

The chewing motion stopped.

She lowered her head, looking at the bright red candied hawthorn in her hand, her voice low and muttering as if she were talking to herself:

"She's very useful. She understands the blueprints, knows how to manage a city, and knows how to help you."

Guang raised his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes:

"And I... here, am just a knife that cuts people down. Moon, if one day you no longer need the knife, will you throw me away?"

During the Warring States period, it was the most useful weapon, which is why it was valuable.

But in the peaceful Loulan, she found herself unable to find her place.
