Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

In the underworld, and even in the entire ninja world's intelligence network, "Walking Priestess" has always been a code name that is known but never seen!

She changes her identity and appearance every time she carries out a top-secret mission. Even within the root organization, very few people have ever seen her true face.

But Nono is, after all, an elite who has received top-level intelligence training.

Despite the excruciating pain in her internal organs, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face instantly displaying a look of terror, confusion, and pitifulness.

"Ahem... Your Excellency... What are you saying? What shrine maiden?"

Nono huddled on the edge of the wooden box, her voice trembling just right, as if she were truly an innocent victim caught up in the killing.

"I don't understand... I'm just a wandering sensory ninja temporarily hired by a caravan to scout ahead... Please, don't kill me..."

He ignored Nono's pitiful words and instead casually used gravity to pull a recently deceased black-clad corpse to his feet.

Without any hesitation, Yue pinched open the corpse's chin and pointed to a black mark at the base of the corpse's tongue.

"A wandering ninja? A wandering ninja whose tongue has been marked with the 'Tongue Calamity Eradication Seal'?"

The moment the words "the seal of the root of tongue disaster" were uttered, a crack appeared in Nono's exquisite disguise.

“You…Uchiha Tsuki…” Nono’s voice was deathly still.

Now that their identity has been exposed, continuing to pretend will only make them a laughing stock.

As a Root ninja, once captured by the enemy, the only option is to end one's own life.

Because of her identity as a "walking witch," she needs to remain hidden in various enemy countries for many years.

In order to cope with the extremely strict medical and physical examinations of other ninja villages, Danzo made an exception and did not plant the cursed seal on the back of her tongue, which would expose her identity.

Without the curse mark, it meant she had to end her own life herself.

Nonoyu clenched her teeth forcefully, preparing to crush the highly poisonous capsule that had been hidden deep in her cheek.

However, it was as if Yue had seen right through her thoughts.

Without even moving a finger, he slightly raised his eyes, and a mental wave instantly pierced into Nono's brain!

"Ugh..." Nono felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and her body was forcibly taken away at this moment. Her jaw was stiff and she couldn't close it even a little bit.

"You can't die. If you die, the orphanage will..."

At first, Nono was horrified that she had been suddenly stripped of control of her body, but when she heard the words "orphanage," her pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!

Although she quickly calmed down and her pupils returned to normal, all of this did not escape Yue's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Yue looked down at the "Headmistress" whose fate was extremely tragic in the original story, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"It really is you, Yakushi Nonou."

Chapter 87 This is not something to be discussed.

"Clang—!"

Just as Yue revealed Nono's true identity, a blue bolt of lightning ripped through the sandstorm.

Uchiha Hikaru landed steadily on the front of the truck.

"The moon has been completely cleaned up; there were a total of sixteen people."

Guang casually flicked the blood off the blade and swiftly sheathed the short sword with a "clang".

Her dark eyes glanced at Nono, who was being pressed down on the wooden box.

"Should I use my eye technique to examine her memories?"

The girl's voice was clear and ethereal, but to Nono, it sounded extremely cold.

In less than two minutes, four fully armed elite Root squads were unilaterally slaughtered? And... this S-rank rogue ninja from the Uchiha clan in front of us.

What kind of hidden strength does Loulan possess?

"No need, Light."

Tsuki slowly stood up and casually waved away the gravitational bindings that were suppressing Nono.

He straightened his black trench coat and looked down at Nono, who was slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

"This Nonou is an exceptionally intelligent person." A half-smile played on Yue's lips. "And intelligent people... Mr. Nonou, would you like to guess what I need you for by sparing your life?"

Nonou slumped down beside the rough wooden box, panting heavily.

She quickly analyzed the current situation.

Intelligence, an extremely deadly and desperate asymmetry.

The other party knew her background inside and out.

The codename "Walking Shrine Maiden," her Root background, her real name Yakushi Nonou, and... her only hope in this life: the Konoha Orphanage.

She was like a transparent person who had been completely stripped naked, all her pretense and trump cards were useless in front of the other party.

Perhaps, from the perspective of the opposing side, the Konoha intelligence she was desperately guarding wasn't as valuable as they imagined.

But how much does she really know about the enemy in front of her?

Aside from the information about the Mangekyou Sharingan provided by the Fourth Hokage, the terrifying gravity eye technique, and the unknown eye technique that can affect external objects, she knew nothing else.

So, let's go back to the question they just raised.

Guess what I need you to do by sparing your life?

When information is asymmetrical, the answer becomes obvious.

The other party wants you as a person.

Of course, I'm not referring to her voluptuous figure, but rather her abilities and her loyalty.

Having figured this out, a hint of struggle flashed in Nono's gentle and intellectual eyes.

She had no loyalty to Danzo and abhorred the dirty tricks of the higher-ups, but she was ultimately a Konoha ninja.

To betray the village that raised them, and serve a mysterious Uchiha...

As an intelligence agent, she would never utter such words willingly.

But tragically, she also knew that this unfathomable man in front of her knew exactly what she was thinking.

"My combat strength is insignificant compared to yours."

Nonou raised her head. "Since you know my identity and background, you must know what I am best at."

"But I don't understand... since you have such an overwhelming intelligence network, why go to all this trouble to recruit a 'pawn' like me who might turn around and bite you?"

As a top-notch spy, she knew all too well the cost of betrayal and the risks of easily recruiting an enemy country's intelligence elite.

Uchiha Yue looked down at her, admiring her composure.

“I have an extremely ambitious plan that requires infiltrating five major powers. It requires a massive manpower and extremely sophisticated resource management. Your intelligence and organizational skills can greatly facilitate this plan.”

Yue held up two fingers, presenting a condition he couldn't refuse.

"If you agree, in exchange, I will grant you access to some of Loulan's outer and middle-level intelligence, as well as some data on outdated technologies. You can use these 'real' secrets to report to Danzo, continue being your perfect spy, keep Root's attention in check, and make him think you have successfully infiltrated Loulan."

"As for what you care about most, the financial shortage faced by the Konoha orphanage can be fully covered by Loulan. As long as I am here, Danzo will never be able to force you to do dirty work by using underhanded means to cut funds, let alone reach out to those children!"

Nonou's pupils trembled violently.

Should we use the true information about Loulan to deal with Danzo?

Is it possible to make public information on outdated technologies?

Fully funded and secretly protected the orphanage?

In this ninja world, only a liar could fulfill her request.

Her spy instincts kept her on her last shred of sanity in the face of such extreme temptation.

She couldn't believe there could be such a person in the ninja world.

But what if it really is true?

Nonou's voice trembled slightly: "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid that I'll take your information and then turn around and join forces with Konoha's Anbu, or even the Fourth Kazekage, to deal with Roran?"

"trust?"

Uchiha Tsuki seemed to have heard an extremely ridiculous joke, and he chuckled softly.

"Light! Eight thousand spears!"

Without any hesitation, Uchiha Hikaru, who had been standing quietly to the side like a shadow, suddenly raised his head.

Those jet-black eyes instantly turned crimson, and strange, intricate kaleidoscope patterns burst forth in her pupils!

"Buzz—!"

Nono felt a sudden stab deep into her brain! Her chakra vanished instantly.

"What...what did you do to me?!"

Nonou gasped for breath, touching her forehead in alarm. A tiny curse mark of eight thousand spears appeared between her brows before quickly disappearing.

"It's just a technique."

"As for the specific function, as long as you have thoughts of betraying me and her, or Loulan, or try to leak Loulan's true core secrets to Danzo, Rasa, and others..."

"The technique will be triggered instantly, severing your perception and five senses. After being triggered three times, it will directly sever your central nervous system."

"Oh, right, I should add that the trigger condition is a thought."

Nonou's pupils trembled violently.

"Of course, don't think I'm cruel." Yue Wei spread her hands and said matter-of-factly, "After all, I can't let a top Konoha spy who could explode at any time use my resources to move freely outside. Compared to Danzo's disgusting 'Tongue Trouble Seal,' my switch is more covert and more in line with your identity as a 'walking priestess.' This condition is reasonable, isn't it?"

Absolute military deterrence, absolute intelligence superiority, plus this death shackle!

Nonou closed her eyes in despair.

Sure enough, what we just heard was just a notification, not a discussion.

Now, all she can pray for is that the other party will fulfill their previous conditions.

If she dies, the orphanage will also...

Of course, the most important thing is... intelligence.
