Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Uchiha Yue, dressed in a black trench coat, stood looking down at the bridge arch.

Chapter 111 Welcome to Loulan, little devils!

Beside Uchiha Tsukiyomi were Uchiha Hikaru, dressed in red and white casual clothes with a cold look in his eyes, and Sasori of the Red Sand, who had no expression on his face.

Behind the trio were Sasori's parents and the unconscious Senju Nawaki.

Yue didn't speak; he simply stared quietly at Nagato, the red-haired girl who looked the most timid.

Beneath those thick red bangs, Yue could clearly sense a terrifying chakra that didn't belong to this five-year-old child, lurking in his eyes.

That's Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan!

It's also the biggest hornet's nest in the ninja world!

At this moment, Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha were definitely keeping a close eye on those eyes in the dark!

"Hey! What do you want?! We have no food here! Get out of the way!"

Although Yahiko's legs trembled with fear, he still held up the stone and roared like a little adult, trying to drive away the three uninvited guests.

Yue lowered her head slightly, looking at Yahiko's innocent yet stubborn eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"I won't steal your bread, kid."

Yue slowly squatted down, took out three still-steaming, delicately wrapped rice balls in oiled paper, and a few pieces of roasted, oily jerky from her bosom, and gently placed them on the dry ground in front of Yahiko.

The rich aroma of meat and rice instantly filled the nostrils of the three starving orphans.

Yahiko swallowed hard, but still gripped the stone tightly: "You... what are you up to? Adults never give food to orphans for nothing!"

"Intentions? Of course there are."

The moon made no attempt to conceal itself.

“I can give you more food than you can eat, I can give you a home where you don’t have to get wet in the rain or fight with wild dogs for food in ruins, and I can even give you the power to change this messed-up world.”

"And the price is... you have to come with me first."

"Sorry, we..." Xiao Nan also picked up a stone, ready to fight to the death.

"This isn't a discussion, it's a notification, little ones."

His pupils widened suddenly, and a scarlet kaleidoscope appeared instantly.

After saying that, he crushed the dragon vein scroll that led him to leave this world.

Instantly, a powerful suction force surged forth, drawing the three members of the Nagato group towards it.

Just then.

In the muddy water at Nagato's feet, a pool of black silt seemed to come alive, silently yet swiftly wrapping around Nagato's ankle!

That's Black Zetsu!

He sensed something was wrong.

"Ignore that black mud! Light, series mode! Prepare for full power output!"

"Heavenly Lord!!!"

"The Eight Meanings Combined will increase the probability of the Heavenly Lord of the Central Region to 100% to maximize the suction force of the spacetime vortex."

"The success rate of all of us (including Nagato and the other two)... using the Rinnegan... to forcibly break through the spacetime barrier and safely return to the main timeline..."

"Raise it to an absolute 100%!!!"

The moment Nagato and his trio entered the spacetime vortex, it was as if some underlying rules that supported the operation of the world were forcibly broken!

A chill, almost tangible, shot straight from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!

Madara Uchiha suddenly appeared.

Probability of successful survival: rapidly decreasing! 90%...50%...10%!

Ignoring everything else, Yue used Izanagi to block Madara Uchiha's unexpected attack.

After Nagato's trio, Nawaki, and Sasori's parents returned, Uchiha Yue grabbed Hikari and Sasori and jumped directly into the raging purple spacetime vortex!

Madara wanted to give chase, but he was tightly entangled by the gravity sphere created by Tsukito's Tenmatsu-no-Nu at its highest power.

Until the transmission channel is completely closed.

"Boom!!!"

In the blink of an eye, they returned to the Loulan underground core laboratory.

A blinding purple light pierced through the space, and nine figures tumbled onto the cold metal floor in a sorry state.

Yue knelt on one knee, covering her left eye, panting heavily.

"Success..."

The moon looked up, sensing the familiar smell of engine oil and the sound of gears around it.

The corrective force still hasn't crossed time and space to catch up!

In this main timeline, the future has already happened, and forcibly removing the Rinnegan at that point in the past only resulted in three "out-of-the-sky" unregistered individuals in the main timeline!

As for what will happen to that past timeline after losing Nagato and his trio?

How will the world's corrective force address this logical flaw in Black Zetsu?

Or did that world simply collapse?

That's no longer something Yue needs to worry about!

"Where...am I?"

Yahiko tightly protected Konan and Nagato, staring blankly at the massive underground laboratory. The wariness in his eyes had been replaced by deep shock.

"Welcome to Loulan, little devils."

……

Meanwhile, in the Land of Wind, in Sunagakure (Hidden Sand Village).

Compared to Loulan, the Fengying Building today is shrouded in a suffocating political storm.

"boom!!!"

A parchment scroll bearing the imperial seal of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was slammed heavily onto the desk of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

Standing in front of the desk was a middle-aged man dressed in extremely ornate noble attire and holding a folding fan.

He was the most trusted Left Minister of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, followed by four "Daimyo Guardian Ninjas" who exuded sharp chakra fluctuations.

In the past few months, the Daimyo's blockade of Sunagakure has reached an alarming level, but this has still not made Sunagakure submit as usual.

Therefore, the daimyo sent a minister whose rank was second only to his, treating him as if he were the daimyo himself.

"Fourth Kazekage! What on earth has gotten into you?!"

The Left Minister made no attempt to conceal the arrogance and anger in his eyes, pointing at Luo Sha's nose and cursing him.

"Your Excellency, I've heard that you're implementing some kind of bullshit 'universal birth subsidy policy' throughout the Land of Wind, and that you've even bypassed the Daimyo Prefecture to directly interfere with people's livelihoods and food distribution in various regions?"

"Don't forget the role of Sunagakure! You are merely a military force hired by the Daimyo! You are a group of mercenaries who do things for money!"

The Left Minister slammed his folding fan on the table: "Without the Daimyo's financial allocation, your Sunagakure village can't even afford to eat! Where do you get your confidence? This is overstepping your bounds! This is plotting a rebellion!"

On either side of the office, Granny Chiyo and Ebizo stood with livid faces.

Although they also felt that Rasa's "childbirth" policy was extremely absurd, the fact that the Daimyo's envoy made such outrageous remarks in the Kazekage's office and even trampled on the dignity of Sunagakure in public still made them feel extremely humiliated.

The ninja village is nominally subject to the daimyo, because the daimyo controls the country's economic lifeline and nominal ruling power.

In this ninja world, although ninjas possess world-destroying power, their minds are still bound by the feudal servility that "the daimyo is the rightful heir."

"If the Fourth Generation cannot immediately stop this usurpation of authority and hand over that fund of unknown origin."

Seeing that Rasa was keeping his head down and not speaking, the Left Minister issued an ultimatum: "His Majesty the Daimyo said that he will consider stripping you of your title of 'Fourth Kazekage' and choosing someone else!"

Chapter 112 The Resolute Rasa

"Take away my title of Wind Shadow?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly let out a low, cold laugh.

The laughter started softly, then grew louder and louder, and finally turned into unrestrained, maniacal laughter!

"Hahahaha! Strip me of my title of Wind Shadow!"

Luo Sha slowly raised his head, and his usually gloomy eyes were now burning with an unprecedented ferocity.

Luo Sha has been living a very frustrating life these past few months!

He was thoroughly humiliated by Uchiha Tsukuyomi, forcibly implanted with the ridiculous "Eight Thousand Spears" curse seal, and even reduced to a salesman selling weapons to Loulan, where he had to set an example by "making babies" with his maid at night for that little bit of money!

Rasa acted like a grandson in front of that Uchiha because he couldn't beat him!

That guy could really crush the entire Sand Village with one hand!

But what are you, a mere fat pig envoy who can't even kill a chicken?

The past oppression and arrogance of the daimyo prefecture flashed wildly through Rasa's mind like a revolving lantern:

Arbitrary cuts to military spending, an arrogant attitude, and humiliating approvals that prevented even the heroes of Sunagakure from receiving compensation after bleeding on the battlefield…

He used to endure humiliation because Sunagakure was a desert that did not produce food and had to rely on the Daimyo's government for funding to survive.

But what about now?

For the past two months, the Daimyo Prefecture, dissatisfied with his policies, has been secretly choking Sunagakure.

If it weren't for the massive influx of funds and resources from Loulan, Sunagakure Village probably wouldn't even have been able to afford much food.

However, in the past two months, without the financial support of those daimyo prefectures, how much worse has the situation in Sunagakure become?

Not only is there no difference, but we are living a more comfortable life than ever before!

Even assuming we take a step back and don't consider the bottomless pit of direct subsidies from Loulan, just the 10% arms war commission that Rasa, as the "full-time sales manager," earned from Kumogakure and Iwagakure...

That astronomical net profit was enough for him to exchange for mountains of food and supplies from the black market, enough to feed the entire Sunagakure village until it was plump and healthy!
