UK:GSW Chapter 311: Tobirama Senju Brings a 99% Increase in the Time‑Travel Research Progress

Orochimaru: "..."

Sasori: "..."

Tobirama Senju: "Hm? You're very surprised by my appearance? Don't mind it—it's just the necessary disguise for going out. After all, to the world the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju has already passed away. If I appeared in my original form, it would cause some trouble."

In the underground lab of Roran, after reaching a consensus with Minato Namikaze, Tobirama Senju met with two younger shinobi researchers here. When the two sides met, Orochimaru and Sasori, who hadn't expected Tobirama Senju to appear as a white‑haired, red‑eyed beauty, were stunned, leading to the exchange above.

After hearing Tobirama Senju's words, although their mood was still quite subtle, the two, who had seen a lot of big scenes and whose thinking was not normal, quickly showed genuine smiles, greeted Tobirama Senju, and expressed their welcome for him to join. Their attitude was very respectful.

After all, Tobirama Senju was their senior, was Orochimaru's idol, and had once been the foremost researcher of the shinobi world.

Although times had changed and a brand‑new knowledge system now existed, this Second Hokage had also gone into the learning space for further study, and because of the nature of his Heroic Spirit form, he had studied for quite a long time. Only Orochimaru, who joined Uchiha Kei earliest and entered the spiritual network world early to study, had spent more time than the Second Hokage on learning.

Even this advantage would disappear with time, and eventually the Second Hokage would completely surpass them.

There was no help for it; the Heroic Spirit state's advantage in the learning space was too great, able to maximize the time acceleration effect.

If it weren't for the fact that this state was limited in the future and had no growth potential, Orochimaru and Sasori would even have wanted to abandon their flesh and directly convert into Heroic Spirits.

No help for it—the efficiency of knowledge acquisition was simply too high, making Orochimaru and Sasori extremely envious.

In fact, if Uchiha Kei hadn't had a discussion with them about evolution, they might really, as time went by, feel that flesh was no good and be unable to resist wanting to become Heroic Spirits themselves.

After all, this kind of knowledge system truly makes one feel the more one learns and researches, the less one knows and the more unknown there is. Even with ninja bodies, which are beyond normal human physique, they aren't enough.

Tobirama Senju: "Now, let me first understand the specific situation. Although Kei‑kun showed me related materials, those materials were only text. The specific situation still needs to be seen in person before I can make a judgment."

Hearing this, Orochimaru nodded with a smile. "Of course, that is exactly our intention. I believe that with your addition, the research progress on the Dragon Vein time travel will increase greatly."

Accompanying these words, Orochimaru and Sasori together accompanied Tobirama Senju to tour the lab, showing him all kinds of equipment and content. The process was quite thorough, explaining every detail.

These contents were much more detailed than the materials Uchiha Kei had given Tobirama Senju, allowing this forbidden‑jutsu master to have more understanding of the Dragon Vein research.

When they had explained almost everything, Tobirama Senju suddenly put forward another request: he wanted to see the specific situation of the Dragon Vein device, including the original underground Dragon Vein structure and the overall architecture of Roran.

It seemed Tobirama Senju had discovered something.

This surprised Orochimaru and Sasori. Although they deeply revered Tobirama Senju's wisdom, they had expected that he would need time to digest the existing knowledge and achievements, but they never thought he would find something upon arrival.

After their surprise, the two were greatly encouraged, marveling that he was indeed the Second Hokage. Even after leaving the shinobi world for decades, his wisdom and knowledge were still beyond those of younger people like them.

Indeed, Tobirama Senju not only possessed his own talent but also had the insight from the Warring States era.

From the end of the Warring States era to now, the shinobi world had actually lost quite a bit of knowledge and technology, which was inevitable, as the turmoil of the Warring States era and wars of the scale of the Shinobi World Wars inevitably caused certain things to be lost.

Fortunately, Tobirama Senju, as a researcher, had liked to study various kinds of knowledge since he was young, which meant he also mastered many things that had not been recorded.

For example, about the Dragon Vein of Roran, Tobirama Senju had some understanding.

It wasn't that he had studied the Dragon Vein. In fact, Tobirama Senju's understanding of Roran was only limited to some legendary records.

The real reason was that Tobirama Senju discovered that the overall structure of the Land of Roran was actually a huge device. The basic structure of the whole country was something like a giant ritual site, and this giant ritual site, combined with the underground Dragon Vein's energy, formed the extraction and use of the Dragon Vein's energy.

This kind of technology similar to a shamanistic sacrificial site actually existed in another country, namely the Land of Demons, which also possessed a special thing. That country sealed a monster named Mōryō. The overall structure of the sealing site was actually to use mountains and rivers together with some man‑made creations to form a giant ritual site, thus achieving the sealing and suppression of Mōryō.

Back then, Tobirama Senju went to the Land of Demons on a mission and got to know the miko there, and then, with the help of that miko, learned about the special sealing ritual site of the Land of Demons.

The same thing appeared in Roran, far away from the Land of Demons. At first glance the two seemed unrelated, but after looking carefully one would find that the overall structures of the two were exactly the same, obviously from the same source.

And the origin of this ritual site, according to the records on the Land of Demons, came from the Sage of Six Paths, the ancestor of ninjas. It couldn't be confirmed that the Sage made them, but it was definitely related to him.

Coincidentally, this guy Tobirama Senju had a lot of research on the Sage of Six Paths. One could say he was the first person to perform archaeology on the Sage before Orochimaru, and because he acted early, his archaeological results were better than Orochimaru's.

For example, the famous Impure World Reincarnation was a technique Tobirama Senju researched from the contents related to the Sage of Six Paths, because legend had it that the Sage was the creator of the Pure Land; the souls of those who died in the shinobi world would be gathered into the Pure Land, and there were many related records. Among them, the Uzumaki clan, relatives of the Senju clan, even had the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, a very fantastical sealing technique, and the related records were all connected to the Sage of Six Paths.

With such a foundation, now, Tobirama Senju directly produced research results and directly pulled Orochimaru and Sasori to study the overall structure of Roran, intending to directly grasp this huge Dragon Vein ritual site.

This amazed Orochimaru and Sasori. Although they had researched the Dragon Vein ritual site, they only studied this part they could see. They never thought the entire Land of Roran was part of the huge ritual site, which was beyond their knowledge.

Fortunately, now a person who understood it appeared, which saved them many detours and greatly accelerated the research progress. It pushed the progress directly to the point where a time‑travel experiment could be attempted.

Yes, they could directly conduct a crossing experiment. Because the function of traveling through time and space was originally possessed by the Dragon Vein, and the Dragon Vein ritual site of Roran itself had the function of traveling through time and space. Now they only needed to use this function.

This progress skyrocketed, as if it jumped directly from 30 to 99%; it was truly incredible.

Of course, this research progress was a shortcut; it directly borrowed the original functions of the Land of Roran, and the principles were still in a confused state and needed careful research.

However, for the effect Uchiha Kei required, the research results were already sufficient. After the three experts discussed, they decided to first conduct a crossing experiment. When they had actual results, they could talk more.

For this, they needed to carefully consider the test subject. At least before confirming safety—such as ensuring that after crossing they could return safely—it could not be one of their own people.

Thus, the rogue ninja Mukade proved useful.

This guy was still alive; although all information had been extracted through interrogation, he had been kept as a test subject. Now was the time for waste utilization.

He had been completely controlled. Using Uchiha Kei's Mangekyō Sharingan's eye technique as a base, he was controlled mentally; various binds were placed on him. He had been turned into a tool without self‑awareness or emotion, like a servitor from Warhammer 40K.

Moreover, this guy was originally someone who crossed time, meaning he had the aptitude for crossing, which made him a very suitable test subject.

After this guy's experiment succeeded, they would use indigenous people from the main world for further experimentation. These test subjects were also some extremely sinful, irredeemable scum, such as those bloated officials and nobles of the Land of Roran who exploited the people, and unforgivable villains. They were all captured, stripped of their human rights, and turned completely into research material.

What? According to the shinobi world's moral standards and worldview, many of these people's crimes were not so severe or even nothing special?

Then sorry, after studying in the learning space, Orochimaru and Sasori's sense of morality might not be much higher than before, but their understanding of moral standards was no longer comparable to that of the shining‑like‑stars shinobi world.

It may sound unbelievable, but now the mindset with which these two looked at the shinobi world was somewhat similar to Uchiha Kei's. They both felt that the shinobi world was really a cesspit.

Other people who had entered the learning space to study also had a similar recognition. It was just that other people only felt the environment of the shinobi world was disgusting, but had no intention of completely changing it. Only Minato Namikaze couldn't bear the environment and wanted to truly change the shinobi world.

After hastily assembling many devices for crossing, and hanging a bunch of research equipment on Mukade, Orochimaru and the others directed Mukade to attempt the crossing.

When the crossing started, at the core of the Dragon Vein the lights flashed, and the light effects were quite cool, giving the feeling of dazzling the eyes.

When the light effect ended, Mukade, the rogue ninja, had disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the three immediately monitored various instruments, especially various data produced during crossing. They checked very strictly to ensure the validity and authenticity of the data.

Ten minutes later, there was another flash of light in the ritual site, and Mukade, who had disappeared, reappeared.

Upon seeing this, the three immediately entered the core area with a large number of puppet clones, took Mukade away to be examined, and took the various devices on him off, giving them to assistant puppet clones to process.

Very quickly, the examination results came out. Mukade was all normal; no physical damage had occurred. And from questioning Mukade and the recording device he carried, it was confirmed that he had indeed completed a crossing, because when he arrived, the Land of Roran was already a ruin, which was the place where Mukade and Naruto had arrived.

When all the relevant data recorded by the devices Mukade carried was fully extracted, this crossing experiment could be declared perfectly complete.

Next naturally was a burst of joy and celebration. Orochimaru and Sasori once again cast respectful glances at Tobirama Senju, because it was precisely this learned Second Hokage joining that allowed the time‑travel research to advance so rapidly to this point.

The news was subsequently passed to Uchiha Kei, which greatly surprised him. He never would have thought that Tobirama Senju, after only one day, would bring such substantial progress in the time‑travel research. Even though this Second Hokage was indeed a plug‑in character, this was too much of a cheat. Did this guy have some kind of "my own logic"?

When the specific information came through, Uchiha Kei learned that this was actually Tobirama Senju applying knowledge he had previously mastered, not some cheat.

However, even if it wasn't some cheat, as long as it had results, it was fine. Uchiha Kei was immediately invigorated and immediately told Orochimaru and the others to continue to increase the research. It would be best to ensure that people from the main world could smoothly travel to the parallel world and return safely.

If these things could be ensured, and the two shinobi worlds had a stable passage, Uchiha Kei could truly let the Genjutsu games on his side enter another shinobi world, giving his system quests a brand‑new completion channel.

At this thought, Uchiha Kei's heartbeat quickened a lot. It was a long‑lost excitement and thrill, the joy of finding a new track.

Then the experiments continued. Next it was those main world scum who had been stripped of their human rights who would undergo the crossing experiments.

Like Mukade, these people were stripped of their self and turned into controlled puppets. Their entire existence was only to complete experiments.

When these people all successfully crossed and returned, the first phase of the crossing experiments was perfectly completed, and the next step was to send their own people.

The second phase of experiments also carried another mission: to establish an outpost in the ruins of Roran in the parallel world to ensure that the crossing would not be disrupted by changes in that world!
