Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Just a glance.

Without a word, Tobirama Senju's brain, comparable to a supercomputer, instantly understood his elder brother's meaning.

The corner of his eye subtly swept across the tent.

The main tent today contains not only the absolute high-ranking members of the Senju clan!

Because of the urgent military intelligence regarding the Nine-Tails' surprise attack by the Uchiha clan, the representative of the Uzumaki clan (Uzumaki Mito), who has been on good terms with the clan for generations, the head of the Sarutobi clan who had long intended to form an alliance, and the leaders of several small ninja clans that were affiliated with the Senju clan were all present at this moment!

Uchiha Tsukuyomi's extremely candid act of "presenting his treasure" was not only a demonstration of sincerity to the Senju clan, but also a way of setting a high bar for "peace" in front of all future Konoha allies!

If, at this moment, the Senju clan, which has always championed peace and called on everyone to build villages, were to choose to back down or even take the benefits without giving back, when faced with the immense sincerity of even their arch-enemies, the Uchiha, who are willing to offer their clan's foundation, then...

The banner of "peace" raised by the Senju clan will collapse on the spot!

"Your Excellency Yue."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath, his icy face softening for the first time. He stepped forward and solemnly placed the Yin Release scroll on the prominent battle table, then bowed slightly to Uchiha Tsuki.

"The Senju clan has sensed the determination of your Uchiha lineage to end this chaotic world."

Tobirama turned around and used a summoning jutsu to summon a dark green scroll.

"Since the Uchiha can put aside their prejudices, my Senju clan is certainly not a group of hypocrites who only talk about peace!"

Tobirama handed the green scroll to Yue, his eyes open and honest: "This contains the basic theory of 'Yang Release' and some secret techniques passed down through generations of the Senju clan."

“However…” Tobirama paused, then gave an extremely reasonable and irrefutable explanation.

"The essence of Yang Release is to stimulate the ultimate vitality of the physical body. It is closely related to the innate Sage Body of our Senju clan and relies more on bloodline instincts than on spiritual manifestation. Therefore, no one in the clan has ever been able to organize it into a book in such an extremely systematic and perfect way as your Uchiha Chiri or Aizen-senpai."

Although this scroll is not complete and some parts are still scattered, it records the Senju clan's core insights into the endowment of life force and the combination of chakra form and nature. Hopefully, it can answer your long-standing questions about the essence of ninjutsu.

"Similarly, everyone can see this profound secret of Yang Dun if they want."

Tobirama's words were perfectly watertight.

He both complied with his elder brother's wishes and provided the genuine core of Yang Release, while using the objective reason that "Yang Release is difficult to systematize" to preserve the deepest bloodline secrets of the Senju clan, thus avoiding completely revealing their secrets.

"Thank you, Clan Chief Hashirama! Thank you, Lord Tobirama!" Uchiha Tsuki accepted the scroll with both hands, a hint of barely suppressed elation flashing across his face, seemingly genuinely happy for the impending peace.

"This trust is of paramount importance."

The exchange of secrets between the two completely ignited the atmosphere inside the main tent!

Chapter 60 The Tone of Peace

The Uchiha used Yin Release, and the Senju used Yang Release!

The deep-seated hatred between the two families was transformed into the most selfless sharing of technology at this moment, due to their extreme desire for peace!

"Good! What a wonderful peace that doesn't hide anything!"

The Sarutobi clan chief, who was standing to the side, suddenly slapped his thigh and stepped forward, his blood boiling with excitement.

Which of the shrewd people present couldn't see the current situation?

The atmosphere has been built up to this point, and both the Senju and Uchiha have expressed their opinions. If they continue to stand by and watch without contributing a single penny, will they still have a say after the village is built?

"Since it's for the sake of peace, my Sarutobi clan cannot lag behind!" The Sarutobi clan chief proudly pulled a scroll from his robes and handed it to Yue. "My Sarutobi clan may not possess the wondrous secret techniques of Yin-Yang Release, but when it comes to the study of the five fundamental nature transformations—wind, fire, earth, lightning, and water—we believe we are second to none! This ninjutsu manual on the 'mutual generation and restraint of the five elements' is a small contribution from my Sarutobi clan to the cause of peace!"

Although he also hid some of it like Tobirama, the framework of ninjutsu knowledge within it was real.

"Chief Sarutobi is right!"

Mito Uzumaki also stood up, representing the will of the Uzumaki clan.

She glanced tenderly at Kushina on the bed, then placed a sealing scroll in front of Yue.

"You saved the descendants of my Uzumaki clan and have such a broad mind. The Uzumaki clan has nothing of value, but this scroll, which records the construction principles of 'Chakra Perception' and 'Basic Adamantine Sealing Technique,' is hoped to provide you with an extra layer of protection in this chaotic world."

With one leader taking the lead, other families began to follow suit.

Although none of the major families have revealed their most crucial trump cards, the "core foundations and secret techniques" they have provided are already an immeasurable and astonishing treasure for anyone eager to explore the truth of chakra!

Uchiha Yue held the heavy scrolls in her arms, her lowered eyelids concealing all her emotions.

Although these scrolls are all common property, there is absolutely no problem in letting him see them.

It became.

Using only a set of old knowledge that he had already thoroughly mastered as leverage, he not only successfully gained a foothold in this camp that the Senju were wary of, but also used "moral blackmail" and "group incitement" to learn the Senju's Yang Release, Sarutobi's Five Elements theory, the basics of Uzumaki's sealing techniques, and the secret techniques of various ninja clans for free.

Although he knew that each family must still have something related to their clan's foundation that they hadn't brought out, these alone were enough to make him a fortune.

The price was nothing more than the complete secrets of Yin Release that he had already learned.

Of course, the reason this grand scheme went so smoothly was because he perfectly capitalized on the favorable winds of the "era".

He precisely landed in the late Warring States period, a period that had been modified by Madara and Hashirama for many years.

This crossroads, soaked in blood for centuries, is the closest it has ever come to the word "peace".

In any other period of ninja history, the difficulty of leveraging the resources of various clans with just a scroll would have increased exponentially, making it impossible to achieve the same effortless success as today.

Furthermore, he did not underestimate people's hearts, nor did he treat anyone as a fool.

He did not reveal his trump card as soon as he entered the Thousand Hands camp, but waited and observed patiently.

He silently endured Tobirama's vigilance and house arrest, and went through life and death together in the Nine-Tails' ambush, creating the impression for others that 'Uchiha Tsuki had been considering this decision for more than a month'.

This is due to the inertia of thought.

If one were to eagerly offer up their clan's secret techniques and shout for peace upon first meeting Hashirama, it would seem too cheap and childish to anyone, and might even earn them a death sentence from Tobirama for "harboring malicious intentions."

But now?

After more than a month of reflection and preparation, his image in the eyes of the Senju leadership has been perfectly shaped into that of a martyr who repeatedly struggled between family hatred and the general trend of the ninja world, and finally achieved complete enlightenment for the sake of the greater good.

The same scroll, handed over on the first day, was called "conspiracy and trickery";

And at this very moment, amidst the bloodshed and the camaraderie forged in battle...

In return, everyone sincerely exclaimed, "You are so righteous!"

With the same resources but different methods, the results can be vastly different.

Yue smiled gently, enjoying the compliments from the ninjas of various races.

Although he was eager to witness the profound mysteries of Yang Escape, he still had to do this little bit of pretense.

The polite exchanges and toasts inside the main tent lasted for more than two hours.

When Uchiha Tsuki finally returned to his secluded tent with the deep green Thousand Hands Scroll and the scrolls from the other ninja clans, the late autumn night wind already carried a biting chill.

At Mito's warm invitation, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki stayed with the Uzumaki clan for the time being to recuperate, while only Hikaru Uchiha was in the tent.

Seeing Yue walk in, Guang immediately stood up, his gaze falling on the heavy scrolls in Yue's arms.

"Got it?" Guang lowered his voice, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"got it."

Yue exhaled a long breath of white air and casually took off his black coat, which was stained with a slight smell of alcohol.

He walked to the simple wooden table and solemnly laid out the dark green Thousand Hands Scroll, his eyes already shining with an uncontrollable red light of excitement.

"Light, protect me. Even if the sky falls tonight, don't let anyone disturb me."

"Understood." Guang didn't ask any more questions. He skillfully set up a hidden warning barrier around the tent, then, holding his short sword, stood guard in the shadows of the tent.

Moon couldn't wait to unseal the Thousand Hands Scroll.

As Yue's gaze swept over the ancient and obscure text and chakra diagrams on the scroll, her brain began to operate at an excessively high frequency.

As we all know, the formula for chakra formation is actually very simple: physical energy + mental energy = chakra.

The body's energy comes from the operation and absorption of 130 trillion cells in the human body;

Spiritual energy comes from years of cultivation, the accumulation of experience, and the fluctuations of emotions.

Ordinary ninjas simply mix these two energies in a certain proportion to extract a fuel called "chakra," and then use hand seals to transform it into destructive physical phenomena such as wind, fire, water, lightning, and earth.

In this process, chakra is merely a cold, lifeless "consumable".

"Our Uchiha clan's 'Yin Release' greatly increases the proportion of 'spiritual energy' when synthesizing chakra. By using strong mental power, we can forcibly distort reality with our will. That's why we are good at genjutsu and shape manipulation."

"And the Senju clan's Yang Release is..."

Chapter 61 Deconstructing Yang Dun

"The Senju clan's 'Yang Release' is the other extreme."

"When they were refining chakra, they drastically increased the proportion of 'body energy'."

This gives their chakra an almost tyrannical 'activity' from birth.

Due to their physical constitution, they cannot synthesize all of this 'Yang Release' chakra, but only a small amount is needed during battle...

The fundamental reason why the Senju clan was able to fight the Uchiha clan to the death throughout the long Warring States period.

One relied on sacrificing his spiritual power, the other on sacrificing his life force.

The evolution of the Uchiha clan relies on extreme emotional stimulation to bring about a qualitative change in their spirit, at the cost of the blood and tears of their loved ones and their gradually blinding eyes, constantly destroying their own spirit.

The Senju clan, on the other hand, relies on extreme "inward exploitation," constantly torturing their own bodies.

Of course, this practice of forcibly squeezing out vitality is essentially overdrawing the cell's division limit and accelerating the body's decay!

It's estimated that only physical monsters like the Senju and Uzumaki, who possess the foundation of a 'Sage Body,' could attempt this secret technique without dying due to their massive lifespan.

"Just like us Uchiha, because of the Sharingan, a bloodline limit, our mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, which is why we are able to withstand the terrifying brain load of 'Yin Release'."

Otherwise, if an ordinary ninja were to attempt to utilize such a high concentration of mental energy, let alone cast a genjutsu, they would become an idiot from the very first step due to mental overload.

"No wonder..."

Uchiha Yue put down the scroll and looked at the secret techniques of the other clans, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

"No wonder Tobirama Senju and Clan Chief Sarutobi handed over their secret techniques so readily in the end."

He was still thinking that he needed to engage in further political maneuvering and perhaps exchange some benefits, but he didn't expect them to make the deal so readily.

The secret techniques of various families are, in essence, deeply bound to their own "bloodline (bloodline limit)"!
