Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

If you understand the field of biology, you can engage in discussions with yourself when you are researching biochemistry.

Looking at the current ninja world, the only person with enough abnormal talent to be qualified for this position is that man who perfectly combines flesh and blood with a puppet.

Sasori of the Red Sand.

……

In the heart of the desert of the Land of Wind, in an ancient ruin that has been abandoned for many years.

The wind whipped up yellow sand, making a mournful sound.

A boy with red hair was sitting quietly on a broken stone pillar.

He looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with extremely delicate features, but his amber eyes revealed an emptiness and numbness as if they were lifeless.

Sasori of the Red Sand.

This former genius stylist from Sunagakure, now an S-rank rogue ninja, is currently using his long, slender fingers, known as the "Hands of God," to idly disassemble a [Single-Soldier Chakra Storage Armguard] that he had accidentally acquired from the black market.

"Click, click."

The metal parts disintegrated rapidly at Scorpion's fingertips as if they had come to life.

"...soulless industrial waste."

Scorpion's voice was hoarse and cold, and his eyes flashed with undisguised contempt.

As a genius who pursues timeless art and the ultimate puppetry, he sees these mass-produced weapons, which are entirely molded by machines and have not been infused with any of the maker's efforts, as an insult to the word "manufacturing".

"However, the design concept of this thing..."

Sasori used a thin thread of chakra to pick out the "miniature battery" at the core of the arm guard, and a slight ripple finally appeared in his amber eyes.

"Using chakra metal to seal chakra and modularize it for quick replacement, thereby replacing the caster's chakra consumption? This idea is quite interesting. If it were used to extend the lifespan of human puppets, it might solve the problem of core overload."

Just as Sasori was preparing to use his chakra threads to experiment on and modify the 'Third Hokage' and the 'battery'.

"If I were you, I wouldn't modify that output valve. It's not only to lower the barrier to entry, but also to ensure that mediocre people without talent won't blow their arms off due to chakra overload when using it."

A voice suddenly rang out from the shadows of the ruins.

Scorpion remained expressionless. He didn't even turn around. Beneath his wide sleeves, the Third Kazekage's puppet had silently slipped to his fingertips, and dozens of senbon needles coated with deadly poison instantly shot towards the source of the sound.

However, all the "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds were blocked.

"To be able to approach me within ten steps without a sound... and possess such strength, who are you?"

Uchiha Yue, dressed in a black trench coat, slowly emerged from the shadows.

“I am the person you are talking about who created ‘industrial waste’.”

Scorpion had no desire to communicate at all. His fingers twitched slightly, clearly indicating that he didn't have much affection for the people who created this industrial waste.

"Whoosh whoosh—!"

A dozen or so skewered with deadly poison were thrust at Yue's every blind spot with extremely strange arcs! This time it was even more cunning than the previous test.

However, Yue didn't even stop walking.

"Buzz!"

An invisible gravitational field instantly spread out in front of the moon.

Those swift, lightning-fast poisonous stalks, half a meter from the moon, seemed to have struck an invisible, absolute wall, abruptly halting in mid-air before helplessly falling into the yellow sand.

"Ok?"

Sasori's eyes narrowed, and the Third Kazekage's puppet was launched directly.

Yue smiled helplessly, and the three tomoe in her right eye instantly transformed into a star-shaped dice pattern, with an irresistible and immense gravitational force suddenly descending.

"Heavenly Lord".

"boom!"

The Third Kazekage puppet, radiating terrifying Magnet Release chakra, didn't even have time to release a single speck of iron sand before it was as if an invisible mountain had crashed down on it, instantly pressing it down onto the cold sand along with Sasori!

He couldn't even move a single finger.

"Don't be nervous, Scorpion."

Ignoring Scorpion's hostility, Moon continued walking forward until she was half a meter away from Scorpion, at which point she slowly crouched down.

"I have come here only to tell you that I can resurrect your parents."

Scorpion was pinned to the ground, struggling with all his might to move his eyes, glaring resentfully at the person high above him who was looking down at him.

"What did you say?"

"I said I could travel across the river of time and return to the battlefield of the Second Shinobi World War."

Looking at the lost lamb below, Uchiha Yue continued:

"Before White Fang's blade falls, use my power to pull your parents from that doomed fate and bring them back to this era unharmed."

Scorpion's mind went blank. Reason told him that this was impossible; even the Sage of Six Paths could not reverse life and death!

"Not only that."

Yue stood up and stood with her hands behind her back.

“I have an extremely grand plan. The ‘immortality’ and ‘eternity’ you pursue, the ‘peace and stability’ that all living beings yearn for, and even the ridiculous hegemony of the five great powers are just a tiny step in my blueprint.”

"Would you like to hear it?"

Chapter 108 The Fantasy of Immortality - Mechanical Ascension

The Loulan underground area is a top-tier engineering research and development zone.

When Uchiha Yue pushed open the heavy alloy door, a faint smell of engine oil filled the air, but there was an overwhelming sense of tranquility.

A week has passed since that first meeting in the ruins of the Land of Wind.

During this time, Yue did not rush to brainwash the famous "Sasori of the Red Sand" or plant the mental shackles of [Eight Thousand Spears] on him. Instead, she simply threw him into this laboratory.

There were no guards monitoring inside, only a few sophisticated automated devices pre-programmed by the shadow clones, and... a pile of scrolls that Yue had deliberately left on the experimental table.

Those scrolls contain the underlying principles of [Yin Dun] and [Yang Dun], which Yue obtained from various families and summarized using modern logic.

This part involves his fantasy of immortality in the Naruto world—[Mechanical Ascension]

To make Scorpion understand the concept of "Mechanical Ascension," he needs to teach him the prerequisite knowledge of Yin-Yang Release.

He believed Scorpion would be interested.

as predicted.

At this moment, Scorpion is sitting in front of a large workbench.

Although there were several disassembled mechanical exoskeleton parts scattered around him, his entire attention was focused on the Yin-Yang Release analysis scroll spread out in front of him.

"It seems you've digested the 'pre-class study materials' I left you quite well."

Yue walked to the workbench, looked at the parts on the table that had begun to show some signs of life, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Upon hearing the sound, Scorpion finally looked away from the scroll.

His amber eyes, as still as stagnant water, were now filled with confusion.

"Yin Dun creates form and spirit from nothing; Yang Dun infuses form with life and physical vitality... What do these have to do with the eternity you're talking about?"

"Don't be impatient."

Moon was not angered by Sasori's dissatisfaction; he was still tolerant of such a genius.

"I put you here to learn this knowledge just so you can understand one thing: the kind of 'eternity' you are currently pursuing is so inferior and narrow compared to the 'mechanical ascension' eternity that I told you about before."

Scorpion tilted his head slightly: "What do you mean?"

The moon leaned slightly forward.

"Do you think that by hollowing out your internal organs, cutting up your flesh, and leaving only a 'regeneration core' to hold chakra and putting it into a puppet, you can achieve eternal immortality?"

"That's not called immortality, that's called imprisoning your soul in a dilapidated container that's bound to rot at any moment."

"Wood will rot, metal will rust, and once that 'regeneration core' is destroyed, your so-called eternity will vanish like a joke."

Do you want to know what true 'eternity' is?

Ignoring Scorpion's changing expression, Yue raised her hands.

A faint, ethereal green light emanated from the fingertips of his left hand, brimming with vitality.

His right hand surged with pure, dark Yin energy, deep and boundless.

"The eternity of [Mechanical Ascension] is not about retaining a weak piece of flesh! It's about completely discarding it!"

"The first step is to use the ultimate micro-management of [Yin Release] to 'create form from nothing' to upload your soul and self-awareness and nurture them in the absolute spiritual network I have created (similar to Pure Land or Chakra Network)! It will be stored in a data-driven form."

"The second step is to use the high-purity chakra metal mass-produced in Loulan to create mechanical shells, and then use [Yang Release] to 'activate' these cold metals! This can fundamentally deceive the soul, giving the mechanical shells true life adaptability! And thus continuously nourish the soul."

"The third step is to divide the digitized soul into countless forms! Each mechanical body can simultaneously become a nourishing place and vessel for your soul! No chakra threads are needed; you alone are countless mechanical bodies, and each of them is 'you'."

The scorpion began to ponder.

He had read the underlying logic of the Yin-Yang Escape technique left by Yue, therefore, he understood better than anyone else... that this almost insane theory was logically self-consistent!

Moreover, this is perfectly compatible with his own concept of "human puppet"!

The only difference is that the fragile "flesh and blood core" has been upgraded into an indestructible "soul data network"!

As long as one of the myriad souls remains, that soul will not die!

Although Yue didn't mention much technical principle, it was just an idea, but that was enough to pique his interest.

Seeing the passion burning in Scorpion's eyes, Yue smiled with satisfaction.

Eternity! Few in this world can refuse it.

Of course, the above is just wishful thinking; there is still a long way to go before it is realized.

“This grand plan is too much for me to complete by myself.” Yue straightened her black trench coat. “Loulan needs a chief mechanical engineer, and I can’t think of anyone else but you. As long as you’re willing to cooperate, all the technology, resources, and subsequent deduction data of Yin-Yang Escape here will be open to you.”

Yue paused, then raised the stakes further: "Besides, if you agree, you'll soon see your parents, and... I'll let you witness firsthand the process of saving them."

"make a deal."
