Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

In an instant, a number surfaced in Yue's subconscious.

100%!

His pupil power was greatly diminished in an instant.

"As expected, they're watching!"

The power of Yue's left eye was once again squeezed out without reservation!

"I'll increase the probability that the place I randomly find later using the perception barrier is where Black Zetsu is to 100%."

His pupil power was depleted again, instantly reaching its limit.

"Buzz!"

The pointer of causality shifts instantly.

In Yue's forcibly elevated perception, deep underground in Loulan, about two kilometers away from their laboratory, in the shadow of an exhaust pipe, a pool of wastewater appeared unremarkable.

"caught you!"

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Shh!"

A golden light flashed through the laboratory. Without even greeting the light, Yue's figure traversed the distance of space, and after some maneuvering, finally landed in the dark exhaust duct.

In the corner of the pipe, there was a puddle of waste water that seemed unremarkable.

When he saw Uchiha Tsuki teleport to his face without warning, Wastewater instantly turned into Black Zetsu, and a rare "horrified" expression appeared on his face.

"Don't……"

Yue hadn't finished speaking, and he hadn't even drawn the outline of the "pancake" he had painstakingly envisioned.

Black Zetsu has disappeared.

"escape!!!"

This is the only survival rule that Hei Jue has lived for over a thousand years, etched deep into his soul.

"The Art of the Mayfly!"

Black Zetsu's body instantly transformed into a pool of pure Yin-Yang Release fluid without any physical collision volume, directly merging into the metal wall and the ground behind him!

Seeing that the other party had no intention of staying, Yue's eyes flashed with sternness, and the absolute gravity of her right eye suddenly erupted, attempting to forcibly pull that space out along with Black Zetsu.

"Boom!"

The hard metal wall was twisted into a pretzel by gravity, but the puddle of black mud, like a phantom unrestrained by the laws of three-dimensional physics, slid directly out of the gravitational field!

"Sealing Technique: Four Symbols Lockdown!"

Yue's hands blurred into afterimages as dozens of specially made sealing runes rained down all around her.

However, as a product of the Six Paths level, Black Zetsu is essentially a highly condensed Yin-Yang Release will. Chakra and even sealing techniques composed of chakra are like trying to catch water with a fishing net for it!

As a product of the Six Paths level, chakra has absolutely no effect on it.

Only unconventional powers, such as physical techniques or magical arts, can harm him.

"Damn it, a unique trait of the Six Paths level!"

Yue gritted his teeth, his left eye bloodshot, as he was about to sacrifice his and Guang's pupil power.

"Eightfold meaning! Increase my chances of capturing Black Zetsu to—"

"Ding!"

The feedback from the pupil technique, however, froze at this moment, which was extremely rare.

"An impossible event!"

"Tsk..."

Yue forcibly interrupted the release of her pupil technique, clutching her throbbing left eye, and looked at the wall that had long since lost all life, letting out a helpless sigh.

Too late.

The first thing they should have said was to mention Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He hadn't expected that Black Zetsu wouldn't even linger for a moment, running away as soon as he saw him.

This made him feel quite bored. A sixth-level rank, how could he be so cowardly?

But now, that guy has completely escaped to who-knows-where.

There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how it is at the Six Paths level.

Unless he has just acquired a sealing technique at the level of immortal arts, he cannot harm or trap this kind of conceptual body at the level of the Six Paths.

"moon!"

Uchiha Hikaru transformed into a red afterimage and quickly followed into the pipe.

She drew her dagger and looked around warily: "Has an enemy infiltrated Loulan? Who is it?"

"Not an enemy... to be precise, a 'potential partner' who runs faster than a rabbit."

Yue patted the dust off her hands with a hint of regret and shook her head.

"What a pity, the number one filial son in the ninja world."

The moon sighed silently in her heart.

Although Black Zetsu is insidious and ruthless, his motive is the purest in the entire ninja world: to save his mother.

For an NPC with only a single core demand, as long as you can present a "save mother plan" that is logically sound and more efficient than his original plan, he will try it even if he doesn't believe it.

Even if there's only one out of ten thousand paths that can save his mother, Hei Jue is willing to try them all.

If the pie in his mind could be put into its mouth, even if it doesn't believe it now, one day in the future, when it wants to try, it will slowly join his plan.

With this living fossil of the ninja world as the intelligence chief, Yue's "Heaven's Will" plan can be completed in an instant.

Unfortunately, this guy was too sneaky and wouldn't let anyone finish speaking.

"Running too fast?" Guang asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is there anyone in this world who can escape from you?"

"That's not a human being; it's a product of the rules. Mortals can't grasp it."

Yue turned around, quickly putting that feeling of regret behind her.

"Since the big boss behind the scenes is too shy to meet anyone, let's settle for second best..."

Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, gazing towards the distant Land of Rain.

"Let's try to win over that 'CEO' who's currently working in the public eye."

At that time, Black Zetsu will probably come back to beg him.

"CEO?" Guang followed Yue, and the two returned to the core laboratory through the passage.

“That’s right. Now that he’s run away, the only agent it can rely on is that Uchiha we met on the night of the Nine-Tails.”

Obito Uchiha.

As for how to turn Obito against his will, or rather, completely change his mind, Yue looked at the dragon vein behind him and already had an idea in mind.

Kakashi might not be able to change him, Minato might not be able to change him either, and even Rin, whom he deeply loves, might not be able to change him.

Then who can change him?

Besides the three mentioned above, who else is missing from the Minato team? It's hard to guess.

I'm talking to you, young Obito!

He didn't believe that the young Obito's eventual redemption was entirely due to the efforts of the corrupted Obito.

Of course, to ensure stability, the complete version of the Minato team would be better.

Chapter 102 Konoha Needs to Make Money

Holding the latest information from Nono, Tsuki frowned slightly.

"Hikaru, inform Nonou to accelerate the development of Konoha's industrial chain. We can start by 'redeeming' the Uchiha. As for the price, ask for a sky-high price of 200 million ryo. Make sure Konoha starts the relevant industrial chain and expands the weapons market as much as possible."

"Yes!"

……

The top-secret meeting room on the ground floor of the Hokage Building in Konoha Village.

The air was so heavy it seemed to have solidified, and the oppressive atmosphere made even those guarding the door in the shadows feel like they couldn't breathe.

"boom!"

"Complete annihilation?! An elite squad personally led by Fugaku Uchiha was unilaterally slaughtered by Tsukuyomi Uchiha on the border of the Land of Wind?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting in the main seat, puffed on his pipe, the thick smoke obscuring his increasingly aged face.

His eyes were filled with weariness and sorrow.

With the Cloud Village army pressing in, and the Iwa Village taking advantage of the chaos, the village was still recovering from the wounds inflicted by the Nine-Tails' attack. Now, even a powerful force like the Uchiha had been defeated and killed, and some had even become hostages.

Not only did they fail to disrupt Loulan's production lines, thus failing to achieve their strategic objective, but they also gave the other side leverage against them.

Opposite Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo stared intently at Yakushi Nonou, who was kneeling on one knee at the end of the long table, his face grim.

"Nonoyu, repeat Loulan's demands again."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Nono lowered her head, perfectly hiding her gentle and intellectual face in the shadows.

"Uchiha Tsukuyomi declared... If Konoha wants to exchange the lives of Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, and those dozens of elite soldiers, they must pay Loulan a ransom of 200 million ryo worth of supplies and gold within ten days. If that's not enough, they can exchange it for food and other supplies."

"He said that if we don't change them, we'll send Lord Fugaku and these elites to Kumogaku and Iwagaku in batches."

"Two hundred million taels?"

This is worth the equivalent of two hundred large chakra ninja tools.

Mitokado Homura gasped. "Why doesn't he just rob them?! The front lines are burning through money every day, the village's finances are already empty, and the daimyo keeps delaying military spending. Where are we going to get 200 million ryo to ransom those useless and troublesome Uchiha?"

"We can't pay this money! This is clearly extortion!" Koharu Tsurugi chimed in sharply.
