I and countless versions of myself simultaneously travel through time.

Within the spiritual space, Tobirama Senju stood silently, his crimson pupils churning with indescribable, complex emotions.

He stared at the boy in front of him named Uchiha Yeyan.

No, it should be said that he was observing an existence that he understood less and less.

Tobirama spent half his life entangled with the Uchiha clan.

He had witnessed Madara Uchiha's unparalleled talent, which was like a wildfire spreading across the land; he had seen Izuna's equally sharp and proud eyes; and he had seen countless Uchiha clansmen succumb to the temptation of power and ultimately fall into darkness.

He believed that he understood the Uchiha clan even better than they did themselves.

However, this little brat in front of him gave him a subtle sense of disorientation for the first time, as if something had slipped out of his cognitive framework.

Three days.

In just three days.

Ye Yan visited the Hokage's office every day, seeking instruction in ninjutsu with admirable sincerity.

Tobirama observed all of this from within his spiritual space, watching the Uchiha boy discuss ninjutsu theory with Hiruzen Sarutobi, from the nature transformation of chakra to the logic of technique construction, from the form control of Water Release to the practical application of Shadow Clone Jutsu.

That keen insight into the essence of ninjutsu, that speed of understanding by analogy, even made Tobirama momentarily wonder if this kid was really just that once unknown existence in the Uchiha clan.

I have a strange feeling that this might be his biological son.

Ye Yan's attitude towards the third generation is subtle.

He admired the vast knowledge the old man, known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," had accumulated on the other side of the crystal ball, and his profound expertise in ninjutsu theory.

But it was merely admiration.

Ye Yan could see clearly that this longest-serving Hokage was lamentably mediocre in political ability. He was either stupid or wicked; later generations' assessments of him might be overly harsh, but they weren't entirely without merit. The Third Hokage's biggest problem was that he always believed he could use benevolent kindness to influence those with ulterior motives, unaware that kindness, in some people's eyes, was precisely their most vulnerable point to exploit.

Danzo.

The man who walks in the shadows of Konoha sends people to follow Ye Yan like a shadow every day.

Ye Yan had mentioned it to the Third Hokage once, and the Third Hokage was shocked by the "faith" Ye Yan had shown in the past few days. After all, the news that the Uchiha clan was plotting a coup had already given him a lot of trouble, and now an Uchiha boy was coming to him every day to ask him for ninjutsu advice. This contrast was indeed puzzling.

The Third Hokage warned Danzo, but it was only a warning.

Ye Yan saw it clearly: the Third Hokage's most foolish mistake was in indulging Danzo and tacitly allowing Root to do all sorts of dirty work, thinking he could use so-called appeasement to make Danzo restrain himself. Little did he know that every concession he made only strengthened that man's murderous intent.

Ye Yan didn't bother to bring it up again.

It's just an insect; it may be an eyesore, but it can't escape his grasp.

In the eyes of the Third Generation, Ye Yan's transformation was equally perplexing.

He looked at the boy's figure through the crystal ball, and a bold conjecture surged in his mind: Could Ye Yan really be the reincarnation of his teacher?

That intuition for developing ninjutsu, that effortless understanding, is very much like Tobirama Senju back in the day.

Once the thought took hold, it wouldn't go away, so much so that when he saw Ye Yan forming hand seals in the square, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The three-day cell stacking from the [Same Wear Panel] has propelled Ye Yan's body to new heights.

The evolution of the Sharingan requires emotional stimulation, and at this moment, the fateful entanglement between Tobirama and the Uchiha brothers is slowly unfolding in the spiritual space, which in itself is the strongest emotional catalyst.

[Would you like to consume 400 Destiny Points to bind Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna as Chosen Ones? The two will provide daily Destiny Points: Uchiha Izuna: 20, Uchiha Madara: 45]

[Binding successful!]

Ye Yan glanced at the numbers on the panel: Tobirama 25, Izuna 20, Madara 45.

Dividing them according to their strength level is reasonable.

However, Madara Uchiha's strength level is far from reaching its limit. If he evolves to the level of Otsutsuki or the Six Paths in the future, the daily feedback of destiny points will naturally increase accordingly.

This is a sure-fire investment.

Within the mental space, Tobirama felt an absolute suppressive force.

This is the space granted to Ye Yan by the [Same-Wear Panel], where Ye Yan has absolute control.

Ye Yan released their power limits and sat leisurely in the audience, patiently waiting for the two souls to arrive. The main consciousness outside was fighting Sasuke, so he was not in a hurry.

On the plaza, Iru frowned as he looked at Sasuke, his voice carrying a hint of admonition: "Sasuke, what are you waiting for? You don't want to fight again, do you?"

"I haven't lost yet." Sasuke's eyes were as stubborn as iron.

"Fine, I'll show you the difference."

Ye Yan raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

In that instant, he directly mobilized the power of Tobirama Senju, who served as a Jinchūriki, within his spiritual space.

The immense chakra surged into his body like a burst dam, carrying Tobirama's uniquely cold and ruthless quality.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique".

"Shadow Clone Technique".

The powerful numerical values ​​made Ye Yan's movements fluid and effortless, as if he had practiced these techniques hundreds of times before.

The water dragon roared and soared into the air, its crystal-clear body reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight. Thirty shadow clones appeared around the water dragon in unison, each exuding an oppressive aura indistinguishable from the original.

This is the result of directly stealing Tobirama's power.

The chakra is Tobirama's, the techniques are Tobirama's, and even the rhythm of the hand seals carries Tobirama's unique sharpness and decisiveness.

Ye Yan stood atop the water dragon's head, his robes fluttering in the air currents. His expression was calm and composed, as if this were nothing more than a trivial matter.

Within the mental space, Tobirama Senju's pupils trembled violently.

What did he see?

Water Dragon Bullet Technique is his technique, and Shadow Clone Technique is also his technique.

The fact that these two techniques appeared simultaneously in the hands of a young Uchiha man, presented in such a perfect form, is no different from NTR (Netorare, a form of incestuous sexual intercourse).

The humiliation and shock of having his power forcibly borrowed intertwined, making Tobirama's expression extremely interesting.

"This brat... can use my power directly like a tailed beast," Tobirama's voice was low and hoarse, his gaze fixed on Ye Yan. "He's truly a born evil Uchiha brat."

A thought flashed through his mind: this must be a forbidden technique left behind by Madara Uchiha.

absolute.

That man must have buried some unknown forbidden technique within the Uchiha clan, and this brat named Ye Yan has simply unearthed it.

As Tobirama watched Ye Yan perfectly unleash those two ninjutsu, he vaguely saw a resemblance to himself from his younger days in that boy.

This realization made him both angry and uneasy.

Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi observed everything through a crystal ball.

His pipe, which had been extinguished long ago, lay on the table, yet he remained completely unaware of it.

The boy standing on the water dragon, the hand seals he made, the rhythm of releasing the spell—it was so similar, so incredibly similar.

Like the figure he had seen in his youth, like the man who single-handedly established the Konoha ninjutsu system.

"Could it be... that Ye Yan is really the reincarnation of my teacher?" Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, his gaze extremely complicated.

But in the corner of the office, Danzo's eyes shone with a completely different light.

Excitement, an almost greedy excitement. He sent Root members to follow this brat day and night, just to figure out the secret to his growing strength.

From a weak Uchiha to a three-tomoe Uchiha, the distance between them should have been an insurmountable chasm that countless clansmen could never cross in their entire lives.

Ye Yan did it, and he did it in a very short time.

What kind of secret technique is this?

What kind of power is this?

Danzo's fingers trembled slightly, not from fear, but from covetousness.

This graduation exam was specially arranged for Ye Yan by the Third Hokage. In a way, it was a form of compensation he made to Danzo, or rather, a way for him to make amends for his past mistakes.

He gathered all the students and teachers in the square so that everyone could witness this moment.

"Ami-ro!!!" Sasuke desperately tried to stop himself from breaking free from the Separation Seal.

Finally, after defeating all the elementary school students in the Ninja Academy, Ye Yan graduated, received his badge, and met Kakashi. Kakashi took him around and they met, exchanging pleasantries. Then, Ye Yan took three old fogies to watch a live stream.

When Ye Yan was distracted and arrived at Otsutsuki Ichiraku, he witnessed Uchiha Madara and Izuna joining forces to drive Senju Tobirama into a desperate situation.

Madara Uchiha stood there arrogantly, his voice like thunder: "Tobirama, you despicable wretch, making me watch these juniors fight in my resting place, are you trying to humiliate me? However, Izuna is here as well, which is unexpected."

"Nisan!"

"European bean".

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yan entered.

This meeting disrupted the bond between the two brothers.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time.

Ye Yan raised an eyebrow: "What are you looking at me for? I don't have 'Edo Tensei' written on my face. Go ahead and fight."

Madara Uchiha grinned, his Rinnegan suddenly activated, and his Complete Susanoo rose from the ground like a god of war descending upon the world.

"Tobirama, you can't possibly be no match for this old man, can you? Don't let these brats laugh at you."

Tobirama Senju's face was ashen; he had never been so disheveled in his entire life.

The Rinnegan?!

That Uchiha Madara... he actually awakened the Rinnegan?!

I used the Rinnegan on Madara Uchiha?!

Are you kidding me!
