Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Uchiha Tsuki rushed in, his black trench coat unbuttoned, his eyes gleaming with the fire of scientific research.

He practically strode to the sofa, completely ignoring Sarah who was elegantly holding a teacup beside him, and grabbed Guang's small hand, his tone urgent:

"Quick! Stop eating your hamburger! Let me borrow your eyes for a second!"

"..."

The atmosphere in the brightly lit restaurant instantly became deathly silent.

Sarah's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, her lips twitching wildly.

What does it mean to lend him your eyes for a moment?

Is there really no problem with the communication between these two?

Sitting on the sofa, Uchiha Hikaru still had half a hamburger in his hand, his mind still lingering on the image of "softness, warmth, and a shoulder massage" that Sara had just taught him.

But upon hearing Yue's request, he immediately realized what she meant.

"Okay, Yue, do you need me to gouge your eyes out?"

"puff--!"

Sarah, who was drinking tea nearby, suddenly spat out a mouthful of her tea.

"Cough cough...No no no!"

Uchiha Yue was taken aback by Hikaru's words, and his previous fervor was doused with cold water.

Yes, would it be necessary to remove an eyeball to study the formula for the operation of pupil techniques?

Can we study it without removing the eyeballs?

Further experimental verification is needed to confirm this.

Wait, what am I thinking?

"Who told you to gouge out my eyes!"

Yue reached out with annoyance, bent her fingers, and flicked Guang's smooth forehead hard.

"Boom!"

"Ugh..." Guang covered his forehead, looking at Yue with a somewhat aggrieved expression, "Didn't you say you wanted to borrow my eyes?"

"The 'borrowing' I mentioned is to activate your kaleidoscope, allowing me to use Yin-style magic to infiltrate your optic nerve and cerebral cortex to observe the trajectory of your pupil's power!"

Yue rubbed her temples and sighed helplessly, "What kind of bloody things are you thinking about all day long? I've told you so many times, we are civilized people now, don't pull out knives and gouge out eyes at the drop of a hat."

"Oh..." Guang responded sullenly, but his tense body relaxed.

She looked up at the moon, then secretly glanced at Sarah, who was still coughing beside her, her face clearly showing "I don't understand but I'm deeply shocked."

Guang bit her lip, and the "soft little movements" that Sarah had taught her earlier resurfaced in her mind.

Although she wasn't sure if it would work, she chose to trust her sister Sarah.

She took a deep breath, carefully extended her small hand, which was covered in hamburger sauce, and tentatively tugged at the cuff of Yue's trench coat.

Then, I gently tugged at it twice.

Yue was stunned, looked down at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Are your eyes bothering you?"

Guang shook his head, his large eyes fixed on Yue, trying to soften the harshness in his voice:

"Moon...are you tired from studying? Do you need me...to massage your shoulders?"

"..."

This time, it was Uchiha Light's turn to remain silent.

He stared at the small hand that was tugging at his sleeve.

Two distinct oily handprints, mixed with salad dressing and ketchup, were imprinted on the cuffs of the black trench coat.

He glanced again at Guang's small face, which looked somewhat stiff from forcing a "gentle" expression.

Finally, the gaze slowly shifted and landed on the Loulan Queen beside him, who was trembling all over and her shoulders were shaking wildly as she tried to suppress her laughter.

A full five seconds passed.

Moon suddenly turned her head to look at Sarah.

"Sarah!!! What kind of nonsense did you just teach my son?"

"Cough cough... Pfft hahahahaha!"

Sarah finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into unrestrained laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down her face.

She laughed, then awkwardly looked away, letting out two dry laughs to cover it up.

"Um... Lord Yue, this is just a little bit of basic etiquette in interpersonal communication. I think we just need to learn more about it... After all, girls should learn to be considerate of others."

"Considerate?"

Yue pointed to the two sauce-stained handprints on her sleeve, her face turning dark.

Should we teach light to be considerate?

He took a deep breath, wanting to lash out, but seeing Guang's somewhat bewildered and aggrieved expression, all his frustration could only turn into a long sigh.

“She doesn’t need to know these things… Never mind, you can teach her some basic manners when you have time, but don’t teach her these weird things.”

Yue reluctantly pulled out a few tissues, first wiping the sticky sauce off her bare hands naturally, and then disgustedly wiping her cuffs.

“I don’t like seeing her force herself. Light is light. With me, she just needs to be herself.”

"Come on, Hikaru. Come back to the lab with me. Your eyes are very useful. Once my research makes progress, I'll take you to eat the best red bean cake in the entire ninja world."

Upon hearing the words "red bean cake," Guang's initial disappointment due to his clumsiness vanished instantly.

She stopped thinking about the rules of massaging shoulders or pouring tea.

"Yes!" Hikaru nodded heavily, took Tsuki's hand very naturally, and then strode out of the restaurant.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Sarah suppressed her smile, gently shook her head, picked up a freshly poured cup of hot tea, and took a sip.

"Although they're all clueless monsters..."

Sarah's gaze fell on the barely perceptible stain of sauce on the carpet. "But this kind of clumsy affection is surprisingly enviable."

……

The core laboratory is located underground in Loulan.

The heavy metal door slowly closed behind us, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

The only sounds in the laboratory were the low-frequency hum of the instruments and the pale blue cold light.

"Light, sit on the lab chair."

Yue pointed to the specially made recliner in the center of the room, which was covered with intricate chakra incantations.

This was originally an "operating table" he prepared for studying interstitial cells, and now it came in handy.

Guang obediently walked over, took off her shoes, and lay down on them.

Those big eyes stared unblinkingly at the moon, without the slightest suspicion.

Yue walked over to her, pulled up a chair and sat down, her expression becoming more solemn than ever before.

"Listen carefully, Light. What I'm about to do is extremely dangerous."

Yue's single eye stared directly at her. "I'm going to use my Yin Release to cut into your chakra circuits when you activated 'Eight Thousand Spears,' following your optic nerves to directly enter your spiritual origin. If I'm not careful..."

“I’m not afraid,” Hikaru replied calmly, her tone filled with unwavering trust. “As long as it’s you, I’ll do anything.”

Hearing this unwavering promise, Yue's heart skipped a beat.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed those distracting thoughts.

"Alright. Remember, whatever you see in the spiritual world, do not resist my chakra. Completely empty your mind and let me take the lead."

Yue activated her Mangekyou Sharingan, stretched out her hands, and gently pressed her fingertips, which glowed with the light of Yin Release chakra, onto Guang's temples.

"Activate the Kaleidoscope!"

Chapter 82 Synchronization

"Buzz—"

With his eyes closed, a faint crimson light shone through his eyelids.

The strange and intricate patterns of eight thousand spears burst forth in her spiritual world.

At the same time, the kaleidoscope pattern of star-shaped dice appeared in Yue's eyes.

"Yin Release: Mental Synchronization!"

Two extremely large and pure Yin Release chakras collided violently at this moment.

Yue's consciousness seemed to detach from her body, plunging into the vast spiritual ocean belonging to Uchiha Hikaru through the chakra bridge at her fingertips.

……

"Tick...tick..."

The sound of water droplets falling on cold stone echoed in the deathly silent space.

When Moon's consciousness refocused in the spiritual world of light, he found himself standing in a dark, damp dungeon.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay.

"Is this... the depths of light's subconscious?"

Yue looked around, her brows furrowed.

This is similar to the "synesthesia" in Pacific Rim. In order to decipher the underlying code of the "Eight Thousand Spears", he must achieve deep synchronization with light.

In other words, he will share the deepest memories and emotions of the light.

He had no choice; he couldn't very well gouge out Guang's eyeballs.

"Light!"

Moon tried to call out, but received no response.
