Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"Minato, can you feel it?" Kushina asked in a low voice, her brows furrowed.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Minato's azure eyes: "The chakra suddenly disappeared... It must be from Yue's side... This kind of method is simply unheard of."

……

The core testing ground beneath Loulan.

"boom!"

Uchiha Yue closed his eyes, feeling the four completely different yet perfectly formatted as pure energy streams of chakra flowing into his body through the parallel channels of the [Bright Seal]!

No internal conflict! No splitting headache!

Only that ultimate feeling of fullness, like a dry sponge instantly absorbing water!

"Success! Lossless and pollution-free trans-temporal chakra retrieval!"

Yue suddenly opened her eyes.

"Minato and Kushina's chakra quality is extremely high, and Rasa's is also good. With these stable 'high-speed optical fibers,' my current battery life has at least tripled!"

To test the limits of this new power, the moon and light joined together to activate Susanoo.

The dark red chakra skeleton, muscles, tengu, and even the complete Susanoo instantly took shape.

However, with the support of the parallel network, Yue did not feel the fatigue of having her pupil power frantically drained as she used to.

He maintained his Susanoo and waited silently in the testing ground.

One hour... two hours...

Only when the chakra transmission in the parallel network showed a slight stagnation did Yue dispel the Susanoo with satisfaction.

"More than two hours of high-intensity combat, and this has not even affected the energy stored in my body, and this duration can continue indefinitely."

Chapter 119 Alternative Uses of Interstitial Cells

After stabilizing the surging chakra within his body.

Yue looked at her hands, her eyes filled with joy.

Is this the kind of pleasure capitalists get from exploiting their employees?

In battle, you don't need to produce mana yourself; you rely entirely on "zombie" computers on the network for power!

But after a brief moment of joy, the smile on Uchiha Yue's face gradually faded.

He slowly walked back to the laboratory, his gaze falling on the culture jar containing the [improved intercolumnar cell stock solution].

"The software (chakra will filtering and transmission) problem has been perfectly solved. Next, only the 'hardware' (Mangekyou Sharingan and physical strength) remains as a constraint."

Yue reached out and gently stroked the vibrant green liquid through the glass.

There are limits to the materials that can be used in ordinary kaleidoscopes.

Even with unlimited chakra, if high-pressure output (multiple people connected in series) is maintained for a long time, the optic nerve and eyeball will still face the risk of blindness due to overload.

To completely solve the hardware problem, he had to climb higher and analyze the principles of the Immortal's Eye and the Immortal's Body!

After these days of research, using the super-shadow level output voltage combined with countless deductions of the "eight meanings", Yue has arrived at an extremely harsh conclusion.

The body and eyes of an immortal are unique to Asuras and Indra, or their reincarnations!

His previous guess about the formation principle of the eternal kaleidoscope was correct: the kaleidoscope is a broken bottle, repaired by using the eyes of a close relative as a homologous "patch".

But the question is, why was it only Uchiha Madara who did it?

This fusion process requires Indra's Chakra as both a "catalyst" and a "forging hammer"!

Two pairs of eyes, shattered and reassembled by Indra's chakra, strengthen the material, ultimately forming the unique and eternal kaleidoscope.

Without the participation of Indra's chakra, even if you gathered a hundred pairs of eyes from your own brothers, you could never fuse them into an eternal pattern!

This is not a genetic defect at all, but a soul cheat bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths, which cannot be inherited through bloodline.

His experimental materials did not contain Indra's chakra, and even if they did, he wouldn't dare to experiment with it now, as that would truly attract the Six Paths Elder.

"Since Indra's chakra is lacking, the conventional path to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is temporarily blocked..."

"Therefore, the only shortcut to improving hardware capacity and breaking through the limits of mortals is this: the embodiment of Asura power."

In the traditional understanding of the ninja world, transplanting Hashirama's cells is a gamble with a slim chance of survival.

The scroll Orochimaru gave him also detailed the tragic fates of countless experimental subjects who, unable to withstand this power, were ultimately devoured by their cells and transformed into unconscious, towering trees.

Orochimaru's research has always focused on how to suppress this activity at the "gene and cellular level".

But in Yue's view, although Orochimaru's direction was ingenious, it went astray from the very beginning!

How could cells containing the wills of top-tier powerhouses like Hashirama and Ashura be controlled by a lower-level will?

"Hashirama cells are not just a piece of flesh; they are an extremely active form of [external chakra]! The reason they devour their hosts and cause them to become woody is not due to the body's rejection, but because they contain the incomparably domineering life will of Hashirama Senju, and even Ashura!"

"Those failed experimental subjects attempted to forcibly grasp the will of a Six Paths level with a lower-level will!"

As for Yamato, this special experimental subject, Yue is more inclined to another guess: Yamato's personality and soul happened to be recognized by the remnants of Hashirama and even Ashura's will, which is why he was allowed to borrow the Wood Release ability for a short time.

Given Ashura and Hashirama's compassionate and gentle nature, they might indeed be lenient towards Yamato's honest and resilient character.

Of course, all of this is just speculation at the moment. We will only get the final answer when we have the opportunity to kidnap Yamato and dissect him for research.

As for the Hashirama cells before us...

Yue knew very well that even with his now interconnected super-kage-level mental power, he could never afford to mess with the Asura's will, which had the "protection of the Sage of Six Paths."

Therefore, a crude physical transplant is absolutely not feasible.

But this does not mean it has lost its value.

Biological research has shown that the underlying code of the "Sage Body," which can contain massive amounts of chakra, can be thoroughly analyzed.

After he has thoroughly understood the underlying logic of these genes, Yue will personally modify and re-edit his own gene sequence to achieve truly perfect evolution!

That will be the truly perfect hardware.

However, before completely deciphering the underlying operating logic, he wanted to use the readily available materials to conduct a more practical small experiment.

Yue stopped and turned to look at the technical principle of "[Willpower Layering]" that had just been written on the whiteboard.

"I've already verified the suppression of willpower by detached chakra in the Eight-Tails. As long as I consider Hashirama's cells as a [super external battery carrying the Ashura Trojan virus]..."

"I can use the super-shadow level mental computing power gathered by the [Ming Seal Parallel Network] to forcibly reduce its dimensionality! Until its remaining will level falls below mine, then the pure Asura chakra contained within it can be used by me!"

Without any hesitation, Uchiha Yue was an absolute man of action.

He immediately opened the culture jar and used a syringe to extract a drop of the original Hashirama cell solution, which had been initially modified by Orochimaru but was still highly aggressive.

"Light! Activate the parallel network and provide me with maximum mental computing power!"

"Yes!" The light in the corner immediately closed his eyes, and the mark between his brows flickered.

As for conducting live experiments on her own body, Yue would absolutely never do that.

His body is his most fundamental vessel, and there is no room for even the slightest hidden danger.

Yue did not reach out to touch the drop of primordial liquid. Instead, she narrowed her right eye and used the subtle gravity of [Heavenly Lord] to gently lift the drop of Hashirama cell primordial liquid that emitted a bright green light, and steadily suspend it on the specially made sealing array platform in mid-air.

He then used an array to guide the process, meticulously separating and transferring the chakra within it layer by layer.

Each transfer is accompanied by an extremely demanding mental reduction operation.

Only when the "Eight Meanings" of the left eye indicated that the success rate of the overwriting had reached an absolutely safe threshold did Yue finally lower her gaze and release the final overwriting command!

"Buzz—!!!"

The moment their mental powers made full contact, the drop of originally quiet green liquid seemed to be greatly stimulated and instantly began to boil violently!

An extremely domineering, tyrannical, and assimilative life force suddenly erupted from it, attempting to erode it in the opposite direction through the spiritual link with the moon. The creaking sound of trees growing wildly could even be faintly heard in the air.

"Strip! Crush! Suppress!"

Yue Leng shouted out, and under the crushing force of the absolute mental computing power gathered by the parallel network, the violent Asura's remaining will in the original liquid only put up a stubborn resistance for a few seconds before letting out an invisible wail and being completely shattered and formatted into blank energy code!

The green liquid stopped boiling, and the extremely aggressive assimilation sensation vanished, leaving only an extremely gentle, pure, and powerful [Yang Release Life Force] quietly suspended in mid-air.

"It's done."

Yue let out a long breath, her eyes filled with fervor.

He did not absorb the purified power into his body, but instead rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest.

These markings are the contents of the secret scroll "The Secret Techniques of Senju Yang Release and Wood Release" that Senju Tobirama gave to him when Konoha was founded, and which Senju Hashirama tacitly approved!

"Since it has become unclaimed pure chakra, let's give it a try."

Several "chakra threads" formed from high-density Yin Release chakra emerged from Yue's fingertips, precisely connecting to the Hashirama cell fluid in mid-air, much like data cables.

Then, he suddenly clasped his hands together!

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

"BOOM—!!!"

Guided by the Yin Release chakra within the moon, the drop of Hashirama cell essence suspended in mid-air instantly unleashed an incredible mass-energy conversion!

The hard metal laboratory floor shattered with a crash, and a lifelike wooden dragon, as thick as a water tank and covered with strange patterns, roared up from the ground!

Yue looked at the wooden dragon in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.

"The experiment is progressing well. Guang, how about we go back to a certain historical site to stretch our muscles? And while we're at it, pick up some goods?"

Chapter 120 Return to Kannabi Bridge

The Third Shinobi World War, on the border of the Land of Grass.

The continuous rain made the forest appear muddy and oppressive.

This is the site of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, and also the "core coordinate" of the cruel turning point in the history of the entire ninja world.

This was also the starting point for Uchiha Tsukuyomi's decision to betray the village.

"BOOM—!!!"

Inside the enormous cavern, the detonation tag triggered a violent chain reaction of collapses.
