Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Shh!"

With a flash of golden light, the moon vanished into thin air and reappeared behind Shisui's true form the next second.

"boom!"

A simple, unadorned chop landed precisely on the back of Shizuku's neck.

The renowned genius boy, who was famous throughout Konoha, didn't even have a chance to react before his eyes rolled back and he crashed heavily onto the sand dune, losing consciousness.

"Brother Zhishui!"

Uchiha Itachi, who had been protected at the back of the group, was now trembling violently.

His five-year-old brain was simply unable to process the hellish scene before him.

My father was blinded, the clan's elite were easily defeated, and the once invincible Uchiha clan... was actually so vulnerable?

Extreme fear and anger intertwined and exploded in Itachi's mind.

"Crack!"

His dark eyes were bloodshot, and his single-tomoe Sharingan instantly transformed into a two-tomoe Sharingan under extreme emotional stimulation.

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

Itachi let out a childish roar, drew a kunai, and charged towards Uchiha Tsuki.

What appears to be a sprint is actually a ploy to draw Yue's attention, allowing the still-prepared, undefeated elite Uchiha ninjas to launch their attack.

"Oh? Two magatama?"

Yue ignored the elite ninjas behind him and instead watched the brat charging towards him with great interest. Then, he snapped his fingers.

"Shatter, [illusionary beauty]."

The itachi, who was halfway there, suddenly stopped.

In his sight, the desert before him vanished, Uchiha Tsuki disappeared, and the elite Uchiha clan ninjas who were preparing to cooperate with him also disappeared.

Instead, there were countless fathers, Fugaku, with their eyes gouged out; countless Shisui covered in blood; and countless clansmen wailing on the ground...

They stretched out their broken arms and, like demons, grabbed Itachi's ankles, dragging him toward the endless abyss.

"Illusion? Break it! Break it!"

Itachi desperately formed hand seals to disrupt the chakra, but the illusory reality that had seeped into his very bones was something a five-year-old child who had just awakened his chakra could not escape.

"Clang."

It slipped helplessly from the weasel's trembling little hand.

He collapsed to his knees, clutching his head, gripping his chest in despair, gripped by extreme self-doubt and fear.

"That's it?"

Uchiha Tsukuyomi walked up to Itachi, looking down at the future "Itachi God," his voice beneath the mask revealing utter disappointment.

"Having witnessed his father being crippled and his clansmen slaughtered, in such extreme despair, he only managed to reach the mere second magatama?"

Yue shook her head and mercilessly crushed the fallen kunai.

"Itachi, your magnanimity... is ultimately too small."

As for Izanagi and even Izanami, well, he's already read the source code of the eye power operation formula. Using something like that in front of him is a bit of an underestimation.

Moreover, even if they successfully use it, they cannot escape.

From the moment they met, they were already shrouded in a carefully crafted illusion.

Chapter 99 Hardware Testing

From the moment they stepped into this canyon, thinking they were there to "act," they were already trapped in a mirage.

Fugaku's vigilance, Shisui's surprise attack, and even the process they thought they were resisting were nothing more than Yue rewriting their five senses, making them frantically form hand seals and swing swords at thin air just like in reality!

If it weren't for Yue's desire to retrieve those two precious "hardware" items, he wouldn't even need to use the Flying Thunder God Technique; his ultimate Yin Release alone would have been enough to wipe them out!

Even if Fugaku could activate the Mangekyou Sharingan immediately and unleash his unknown eye technique, he would still be instantly killed if he were caught off guard in this illusionary space that could deceive the brain's underlying perception, even if they used Izanagi.

As Yue finished speaking, in less than five minutes, this once-powerful elite Uchiha force was completely wiped out, lying scattered across the yellow sand.

Although he did not die, he lost the ability to resist.

"Moon, should we implant a heart lock in him?" Light walked to Moon's side, looking at the Uchiha clan leader of this era lying on the ground.

"A heart lock? Not needed."

The moon sealed away those two precious "hardware" components, its eyes indifferent.

"Fugaku, this good-for-nothing who tries to please everyone, doesn't deserve to be marked with the 'Eight Thousand Spears' mark. He's not even qualified to be my pawn."

Currently, Fugaku is not even among the ten people that can be connected by light.

The Minato couple, Nonou, even Rasa... who was at the bottom of the class, weren't they all more important than Fugaku?

Regarding the handling of this group of Uchiha elites, Yue prefers to use genjutsu, specifically the trigger-based genjutsu.

Later, after Konoha spends a 'great price' to redeem them, they can be used as 'tools' again.

As for killing them, don't even think about it.

If we were to slaughter all the Uchiha elites and the future clan leader now, it would severely disrupt the future storyline of the Uchiha clan.

Even with the Minato couple and the pawns he subsequently planted to cover it up, this level of "plot collapse" is extremely difficult to cover up in the face of corrective power.

"Keeping them alive is more useful than killing them."

Yue turned to look in the direction of Konoha.

"Hikari, use the Eight Thousand Spears to contact Yakushi Nonou and have her report to Danzo or, more specifically, Konoha."

The wind blew across the yellow sand, carrying the heavy smell of blood to the distant dunes.

"The Uchiha clan that Grandma Chiri envisioned was not like this. The Uchiha clan needs to undergo a complete destruction and reconstruction."

……

The core laboratory is located underground in Loulan.

"Click".

Uchiha Yue placed the specially made culture dish containing Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan onto the analysis instrument, and the cold, blue light illuminated the two eyeballs inside, which emitted a faint red glow.

"We finally got the 'hardware'."

Yue took a deep breath and activated her kaleidoscope without hesitation.

"Yin Release: Mental Synchronization!"

An extremely condensed stream of Yin Release chakra followed the instrument's circuitry and directly entered the pair of Mangekyou optic nerves that had lost their owner.

This is different from exploring light, because when light is being explored for the first time, it needs to be explored slowly.

Fugaku's eyeballs were already containers, imprinted with "formulas and codes".

This is also why, in the original work, Zhishui's eyeballs could still release pupil techniques even after detaching from his body; the underlying code has already been embedded into the hardware.

Therefore, as long as he has the hardware, he can inspect it at will.

Under the ultimate introspective perspective, Fugaku's unique "eye technique operating code" is clearly displayed in Yue's spiritual world.

"Analysis of mental fluctuations... feedback path of pupil power... the logic of this formula is..."

Yue's brain was working at lightning speed. Having already reviewed the underlying code twice and added comments, he could barely understand it.

"Within a specific range, through extremely keen chakra perception, one can briefly capture the enemy's movement trends... no, not just movements, but even extremely subtle predictions of chakra flow!"

"If this kind of extreme 'insight' is magnified to the extreme..."

"Seeing into the future? Even if only for a few seconds."

Yue suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

"There's another piece of auxiliary code... It allows you to directly see through the enemy's information using your pupil power, and then determine the amount of pupil power required based on the enemy's strength. It's quite similar to my Eight Meanings."

"【Otsuki-mi】 and 【Shinbun】, these are Fugaku Uchiha's exclusive eye techniques."

He recorded it and put it on Yue's skill list. After that, he began to study other underlying code.

"Let me see what this 'code' has in common with mine and the code of light."

Yue closed her eyes and began the extremely tedious and cumbersome comparison of the underlying code.

In his mind, he overlaid and deconstructed Fugaku's "Otsukimi" and "Shinbun" formulas with his own memorized "Ame-no-Machi-no-Kami", "Yaji-no-Kane", and Hikaru's "Yazen-no-Hō" and "Amaterasu" frame by frame.

Nearly ten hours.

Exhausted, Yue severed her mental synchronization and opened her bloodshot eyes.

"Just as I expected!"

He scribbled furiously on the huge whiteboard, drawing out several extremely complex chakra circuits.

"Whether it's my causality, the mental network of light, or Fugaku's precognition... these three completely different kaleidoscope systems actually have 70% of their underlying framework code completely overlapping!"

"These overlapping parts are the 'basic system files' that contain the enormous Yin Release chakra of the Mangekyou Sharingan! Not a single part of this can be deleted."

Then, Yue circled the last 30% of differences heavily in red pen.

"What truly determines the characteristics of a pupil technique is this 30% mutated 'core function'!"

"As long as I erase this 30% 'variance function' from Fugaku's eyes..."

Yue looked at the pair of eyes in the petri dish, her gaze becoming incredibly fervent.

"Then, these two kaleidoscopes will become a completely 'formatted' blank hard drive, containing only the basic system!"

In his excitement, he didn't notice the light coming from behind. Remembering Sarah's teachings, he hesitated for a moment: "Moon, I've prepared coffee for you."

"Okay." Yue drank the coffee that Guang handed her, finishing it in one gulp, and sleepiness quickly overcame her.

"Wait, Hikaru, what did you put in the coffee?"

"The moon cannot work for too long; the moon must rest. From today onward, the moon's body will be controlled by light."
