Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

He will not admit defeat; he is the Raikage.

"You... what kind of monster are you...?"

The moon, having withdrawn its gravitational pull, floated lightly down from above in front of Lei Ying.

The immense load brought by the series mode made him catch his breath slightly, but he remained calm on the surface.

"I already said that, Lord Raikage."

The moon looked down at him from its high perch. "I'm here to deliver a message."

"Light."

With a call from the moon, light dressed in red and white robes instantly appeared in front of the Raikage.

Her crimson Mangekyou Sharingan coldly met the Raikage's eyes, which were filled with resentment.

"Eight thousand spears!"

"Ugh!" Raikage felt a sharp pain deep in his brain as a tiny, dark purple diamond-shaped curse mark flashed and disappeared between his and Killer Bee's eyebrows.

"I've prepared a copy of the same technique for both of you brothers."

Yue said slowly and deliberately:

"If you harbor any hostility toward Loulan or me, or attempt to obtain any secrets about Loulan, this technique will instantly sever your brainstem. Do not doubt its power; even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki cannot save a brain with severed nerves."

Lei Ying's eyes were bloodshot with rage; a man can be killed but not humiliated!

"The Hidden Cloud Village will never submit to someone like you! We will never surrender to someone like you!"

"Kill you? I couldn't bear to do that."

Yue chuckled and tapped the armrest of the stone chair. "I told you, I'm only here to discuss a major business deal that will benefit the country and its people."

Yue leaned down, her tone indifferent:

"Listen carefully, Ai."

"From this day forward, the highest level of pro-natalist policies will be implemented throughout the entire Land of Thunder!"

"Whether you offer tax breaks, hand out money, or send ninja tools, I want the population of the Land of Lightning to double within ten years! Everyone, have as many children as you want!"

"In return..."

Yue took a storage scroll out of her bosom and threw it in front of Raikage.

"All fiscal deficits incurred by the Land of Thunder due to the 'birth-inducing policy,' as well as the costs of infant formula, education, and medical care, will be fully reimbursed by Loulan! There is no upper limit!"

"Not only that, all types of weapons produced in Loulan are being supplied to Yunyin at 20% below market price!"

Raikage A, lying at the bottom of the pit: "..."

Killer Bee, who had just been coughing up blood, was speechless.

The Cloud Village's ANBU, who were originally prepared to sacrifice themselves for the village and face death without fear: "..."

The entire Stone Forest Basin was deathly silent.

The wind howled through the pile of rubble, as if even nature itself was speechless at this absurd turn of events.

Ray Shadow Ai's brain crashed again.

This is the third time today that he has felt his worldview crumbling.

He is the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure! The most renowned leader of the martial arts faction in the ninja world!

He was humiliated and crushed by godlike power, and even had a curse mark planted on him that could explode at any moment.

After all that effort they put in to subdue him, the village's most powerful figure, the highest order they issued was... to make him go back and become the head of the Women's Federation, encouraging the villagers to have children?

He thought it was a joke before...

And they even have to pay out of their own money and resources for military operations?

"Are you... are you out of your mind?"

The Raikage held it in for a long time, his dark face turning a deep liver color.

"Do you think you can buy the dignity of Kumogakure with money? You are insulting..."

"How can this be called an insult? This is called a win-win situation."

Uchiha Yue stood up and straightened the hem of his trench coat.

“If you don’t agree…” Yue turned her head to look at Killer Bee on the ground, her tone instantly turning cold, “Then there’s no need to give birth. Today I will extract the Eight-Tails and wipe the Hidden Cloud Village under your feet off the map. You can try and see if I can do it.”

In an instant, Yue released his complete Susanoo, standing tall on the earth. He drew his katana, which was over a hundred meters long, and aimed it at Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

He was waiting for the Raikage's answer.

This is still a threat, of course. He can't actually destroy the Hidden Cloud Village or even kill the Raikage; he doesn't want the plot to fall apart like that. But that doesn't stop him from bluffing.

Looking at the giant sword that seemed capable of cleaving planets, and feeling the suffocating pressure emanating from Yue, Raikage gritted his teeth, blood trickling down his chin.

He can die, but his brother Killer Bee cannot die, and the countless villagers of Kumogakure cannot be destroyed in his hands!

not to mention……

Raikage looked at the scroll on the ground.

Putting aside the humiliation, the various new weapons at cost price, coupled with Loulan's reimbursement of huge birth expenses... for Yunyin, whose finances have been strained for years due to military expansion, this is simply a windfall that could double the village's wealth.

Faced with absolute power, he had no choice regarding dignity and the future of the village.

The village and the lives within it are far more important than his dignity!

"I'll give birth... I'll have the baby!"

Lei Yingai practically spat out those words through gritted teeth, his expression one of humiliation as if he were constipated, but a hint of compromise with the village flashed in his eyes.

"very good."

Yue nodded in satisfaction, then turned and headed towards the Land of Wind, carrying the light with her.

"Looking forward to the newborn wave in Kumogakure, Raikage. Don't even think about cutting corners; I'll be checking your 'homework' regularly."

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the wilderness, Lei Ying Ai slammed his fist heavily on the ground.

“Big brother…” Killer Bee leaned closer, his eyes behind his sunglasses looking a little strange, “Are we really going to go back… and issue a notice asking everyone to have babies? Huh?”

"Shut up! Show me!"

Lei Ying roared, his face dark, then a flash of extreme frustration appeared in his eyes:

"Return to the village immediately! Convene a meeting of the elders!"

"Pass on my orders! For the future of Kumogakure, all eligible ninjas and civilians must marry immediately! Those who do not wish to have children this year will have their Lightning Release training doubled! As for the Daimyo, I will figure out a way."

"Furthermore..." Raikage gritted his teeth, "Secretly inform that old bastard Onoki of the Land of Earth, and tell him that we have secured a deep deal with the cooperation with Loulan! Tell him that there are enormous benefits in this arms trade!"

Now that he's been chained, that old geezer from the Land of Earth won't be able to escape unscathed either.

Only when everyone is forced to have children can the ninja world be considered fair!

There's no need to elaborate on what happened in the Land of Earth afterwards.

Unable to overcome his inner demons, Onoki, under the complete Susanoo, joined their plan to have children.

At this point, of the five great ninja villages, only Konoha and the isolated Kirigakure remained, and no one had yet been forcibly drawn into this insane plan called "having children."

Chapter 107 Parents and Eternity

"Lord Yue, the daimyo's prefectures of the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth have reacted very strongly to the ninja village's unauthorized promulgation of the childbirth policy."

Sara pointed to several marks on the scroll and continued her report: "The daimyo of the Land of Wind reacted the most strongly. The daimyo's office not only froze all of Sunagakure's regular military budget for this year, but also used its political privileges to forcibly cut off the trade routes for food and daily necessities to Sunagakure."

Upon hearing these reports, Uchiha Tsuki casually tossed the intelligence report aside.

"The remnants of the old era are left with nothing but this trick of using money bags to tether dogs."

"Ignore them for now. Let these clowns keep shouting for a few more days. When they've used all their methods and still can't do anything to these ninja villages, Rasa and his group of Kage will realize something."

Deeply ingrained ideas are difficult to change through language; they require the guidance of "facts."

Yue turned the subject very naturally, his gaze returning to the experimental table in front of him.

With the involvement of Loulan, the system of Daimyo Prefecture + Ninja Village has become a mere shell, though many people are unaware of it yet.

Compared to this.

He has more important things to do.

Regarding the shortage of core technical personnel.

After completely binding Raikage A and Tsuchikage Onoki with absolute force and interests, the intensity of what could have been a catastrophe that turned into the Fourth Shinobi World War was greatly reduced under the covert manipulation of Uchiha Tsuki.

Konoha was lacking in combat power and internally weak, but it managed to defend itself by relying on outdated blueprints provided by Loulan.

Despite being at a disadvantage, with their exceptional ninja skills and the intelligence support from Nono, they gradually regained the balance of power.

The situation has temporarily reached a state of unhealthy stability.

While major powers shed blood on the front lines, Loulan, nestled deep in the desert, was raking in money every day.

However, as the [Furnace Project] reached full capacity and the blueprint for the [Ming Seal Parallel Network] gradually became clearer, Uchiha Yue, sitting in the core laboratory of Loulan, felt increasingly powerless.

"The iteration speed of software and hardware cannot keep up with the expansion of my strategic layout."

Yue casually tossed a battle report onto the metal tabletop and pinched the bridge of her nose.

He can subdue the Five Kage with his Kage-level strength, and he can also use the theory of Yin-Yang Release to deconstruct the essence of chakra.

But in the end, he was just one person, with only one pair of eyes and one pair of hands.

The engineers of Loulan were quite skilled in applied engineering, but they ultimately lacked a great deal of spirituality when it came to theoretical research and the integration of groundbreaking chakra mechanisms…

Although Orochimaru has already considered leaving the village, he does not intend to leave now. The laboratory and Konoha are currently providing him with top-notch resources, and he wants to complete some specific research before considering leaving the village.

"I need to outsource this core part of the work I'm doing. I need a chief engineer who can fully understand my will and is at the pinnacle of the ninja world in the field of combining mechanics and life."

Yue's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Having expertise in the mechanical field, he could outsource his furnace project.

He can recklessly devote all his research energy to the field of biochemistry (Hashirama cells, Nine-Tails chakra, Dragon Veins, Sage Mode).
