Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

He could only follow the dungeon passage toward the only place with light.

"Tack, tick, tick..."

Inside an iron cage filled with sealing spells, a little girl who looked only five or six years old was curled up on a cold, damp pile of hay.

That was... Uchiha Hikaru in his childhood!

"Elder, this girl's mental resistance is too strong. Ordinary illusionary torture can no longer stimulate her to continue opening her eyes." A cold voice rang out.

“Then let’s go all the way. Her parents’ deaths have greatly affected her. I think she may already have a kaleidoscope, but she just hasn’t realized it yet.” Another authoritative voice delivered the verdict.

"No...please..."

The scene shifts, and the dungeon disappears.

Instead, a battlefield strewn with corpses was formed.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old Hikaru, covered in blood, numbly wielded his short sword like a tireless meat grinder, reaping the lives of ninjas who were enemies of the Uchiha clan.

"Kill...kill them all..."

"The weapon... I feel nothing..."

Cold, desperate, numb, and lifeless.

These negative emotions, like materialized black sludge, surged wildly into Yue's consciousness.

He knew that the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period was a dark place, but he had never felt so directly what kind of hellish life this little girl had gone through as he did now.

Just as the boundless darkness and despair were about to completely devour the consciousness of light.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

In the rain, a young man dressed in a tattered black combat uniform with a blood-stained bandage wrapped around his left eye descended from the sky.

He simply walked up to the light and plopped down on a wooden box used to store explosive tags.

"Even with shuriken, you have to wipe off the blood and put on some oil to prevent rust after you're done using them. Look at you, you're as skinny as a bean sprout..."

At this moment, the colors in the picture suddenly changed from a deathly gray to a warm hue.

"Listen up, little girl, I don't know anything about weapons, but as long as you can still breathe and bleed, you're a living, breathing person!"

Next, a scalding hot, oily roasted sweet potato was stuffed into his hand;

It was a charred fish grilled in a waterfall cave using "Amaterasu" (a type of natural light);

...Loulan...the first year of its founding...

As these memories surfaced, the black silt that had been enveloped in light began to recede rapidly.

"moon……"

The light in my subconscious reached out to the moon.

"You are my...light."

Yue paused for a moment, then smiled freely and, as usual, took Guang's small hand in hers.

At this moment, the mental frequencies of the two reached an absolutely perfect synchronization.

With the deep integration of their spirits, Yue seemed to personally experience the moment when Guang activated the [Eight Thousand Spears].

Under the ultimate inner vision, Yue finally "saw" the most fundamental operating logic of the exclusive pupil technique that was later mythologized.

The immense power of the pupil surged from the cerebral cortex and flowed through the optic nerve. Instead of radiating outwards like when releasing ordinary illusions, it was frantically folded and compressed by a "spiritual will" in an extremely bizarre spiral topology!

Like an algorithm, with pupil power as the "input," after being reorganized by hundreds of Yin-style techniques deep within the brain, it ultimately transforms into the [Eight Thousand Spears] as the "output."

Then, light is used for both front-end development and testing...

The eyeball serves as both the hardware for executing the program and the project file package.

My thoughts have drifted a little far away...

Yue quickly withdrew her sarcastic remarks in her mental world and refocused all her attention on observing these "chakra formulas".

But once she actually started analyzing it, Yue felt a deep headache and helplessness.

There are just too many and too messy "functions" in this "code".

This power, born purely from despair, has absolutely no logical planning whatsoever.

The worst part is that none of these "functions" that were hastily piled up in desperation have any "comments"!

Yue was so angry he almost laughed; the memory of dying from overwork in his past life was still haunting him.

"Dude, you didn't even leave a description of the underlying logic. Where am I supposed to start reverse engineering?"

Faced with this mountain of excrement, which could potentially damage Guang's spirit if accidentally touched, he could only choose the simplest, but also the safest, method.

I personally took to the field to conduct "black box testing and reverse packet sniffing".

Fortunately, he is now deep within the subconscious of light, and there is no need for light to repeatedly expend its pupil power to release the eight thousand spears in the outside world.

He only needed to access the memories of using the Eight Thousand Spears in the past, and like a slow-motion movie, observe the flow of chakra frame by frame when those "functions" were invoked.

Guided by Yue's thoughts, memory bubbles of light using the Eight Thousand Spears began to appear in the mental space.

The first bubble is a scene in the Sengoku camp where Hikaru forcibly erases the memories of enemy ninjas and implants hints.

Yue stared intently at the flow of chakra within the optical brain domain.

"Mental piercing... memory overwriting... forced synchronization of brainwaves... absorbing chakra for one's own use..."

"Does the 'attack attribute' and 'control attribute' exhibited by 【Eight Thousand Spears】?"

Yue added a comment to this "code" using her Yin-style technique, and then continued reading.

The second bubble, the third bubble...

Yue patiently unraveled the complexities of her battle memories, carefully avoiding the agonizing ones that caused her pain. She extracted only the pure data from when she used her eye techniques, and even wrote her own annotations.

Finally, his gaze settled on a memory bubble.

That was during the icy, snowy late Warring States period, when the two of them faced off against the ninja world's Asura, Uchiha Madara!

In this memory, light activated "Eight Thousand Spears: Connection," and an invisible spiritual chain instantly and perfectly connected her chakra circuits with the moon's meridians.

In that instant, their thoughts were perfectly synchronized without any loss!

"Found it, the last piece of the puzzle!"

Chapter 83 Hardware

"Found it, the last piece of the puzzle."

Yue's spirits suddenly lifted, and she used all her perception to precisely target the brain region where this memory occurred.

Under the extremely slowed-down introspective perspective, a few "function" circuits finally lit up in that massive and chaotic "mountain of shit code".

Yue held her breath, staring intently at the trajectory of these circuits.

He quickly used his mental power to write annotations for these functions, and then began to observe the trajectory of these circuits.

They had no intention of launching any psychological attack.

They simply released a very special "chakra frequency".

This frequency is like two walkie-talkies tuned to the same channel.

It ignored the physical distance in three-dimensional space and the attenuation of chakra in the air, and directly established a "quantum entanglement-like" [base station] deep within the souls of the two beings!

"These formulas are amazing."

In the mental space, Yue couldn't help but let out a gasp of amazement.

"The 'mental frequency resonance' that ignores physical spatial distance is simply the most perfect 'long-range wireless communication protocol'! Add to that the 'remote chakra absorption' function that [Eight Thousand Spears] originally possesses..."

The moon's brain was working at an excessive speed.

Yue's brain was working frantically. With his unparalleled mastery of Yin Release, he "memorized" the trajectory of this core chakra frequency band without missing a single detail, deeply engraving it into his mind.

"Since the [Eight Thousand Spears] has already solved the two biggest problems of 'remotely establishing a channel' and 'absorbing chakra,' I don't need that bloody [Fountain of Rejuvenation] from the Warring States period to act as a pump!"

"Within the crude array of the [Fountain of Return to Light], what is truly valuable to me is only that small part of its core conversion logic—how it safely extracts, purifies, and 'directly transfers spiritual power (pupil power)'!"

In short, the [Eight Thousand Spears] are responsible for establishing base stations regardless of distance and creating chakra transmission channels. The [Fountain of Light] acts as a filter, purifying spiritual energy (eye power) for the Eight Thousand Spears. Finally, all energy is packaged and transmitted into the [Seal of Light] as a cloud-based battery!

"With this combination, long-range chakra and mental energy complement each other, resulting in only a slight loss, and completely solving the distance limitation!"

"Perfect closed loop! Experiment objective achieved, time to retreat."

Having obtained the core "source code," Yue ceased her further exploration of the light's brain.

He gently calmed the bubbles of memories that had been rummaged through, then guided the two merging Yin Release chakras to slowly sever the "Mental Synchronization".

The core laboratory is located underground in Loulan.

"Om-"

With a faint fluctuation of chakra, Uchiha Hikaru, who was on the recliner, trembled slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

Those big eyes still held a hint of confusion, as if they had just woken up from a deep sleep.

But when she saw Uchiha Yue sitting beside her, writing excitedly on a huge blank scroll, all her wariness instantly turned into relief.

“Moon…” Guang called softly, sitting up from the recliner.

Yue stopped writing, turned her head, and her eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

"woke up?"

Yue naturally reached out and gently wiped away a fine sheen of sweat from Guang's forehead with her sleeve, a radiant smile playing on her lips.

"Light, you are truly a priceless treasure."

Yue grabbed the new scroll, which was just filled with intricate spells, and waved it in front of Guang.

"Your eyes helped me complete the most crucial piece of this puzzle: the communication protocol and the transmission network."

Seeing Yue's excited expression because of the scientific breakthrough, Guang felt a warm current surge in his heart.

She didn't understand "communication protocols" or "cloud computing"; all she knew was that she was useful to Yue.

Guang stood up, intending to massage Yue's shoulders as Sarah had taught him, but found that the ecstasy on Yue's face did not last long.
