I and countless versions of myself simultaneously travel through time.

Ye Yan's absence from the clan meeting was not accidental.

In his eyes, the meeting was never important. The weakness of the Uchiha clan was deeply ingrained, and no amount of discussion could change their nature of only relying on Konoha and willingly being suppressed by Konoha, not to mention the deeply ingrained psychopathic weasel.

As for the radical Setsuna, the "hawk" who kept saying he wanted to assassinate Tobirama, Madara scoffed at him: "He can't even touch a finger of Tobirama, yet he dares to shout in his name?"

"This guy actually lived this long." Izuna's tone was filled with a complex mix of emotions. "Tobirama... he lived even longer than you."

Tobirama replied expressionlessly, "Is it possible that you died too young?"

"..."

Izuna remained silent.

This is a truly hellish joke.

Madara pulled the black rod out of Tobirama's body, and the latter's eyes immediately became wary.

Madara simply said, "Don't misunderstand. I just want to see how a true Uchiha clansman should teach this old devil a lesson. That piece of trash, Setsuna, does ridiculous things in my name day after day. Compared to him, you are at least much stronger."

At this moment, Bambi was more lucid than anyone else.

He had long since abandoned that insane Eye of the Moon plan, not out of pity, but because he had finally seen through the truth.

The so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi is nothing more than a seed of the Divine Tree planted by the Otsutsuki clan. Its purpose has never been to bring peace, but to drain all the resources of this planet.

The moment the war ends and peace arrives, this planet will face its final harvest.

Madara once thought that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was the only way to save all living beings, but the deeper he thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his spine. Even if he achieved his ambition, what about Six Paths Naruto and Six Paths Sasuke?

What about Ye Yan?

They will all be imprisoned forever in illusion, becoming nourishment for the divine tree.

Even if he successfully protected the Divine Tree and single-handedly maintained the entire lifeline, could he defeat the Otsutsuki clan alone when they descended upon Earth?

Even if he were to win by sheer luck, all the lives of the five great nations would have been wiped out, leaving him all alone.

Hashirama is gone, and Izuna is no longer by his side. He will become another Kaguya Otsutsuki, ruling over a lifeless planet, living in constant fear of being hunted down by the main clan.

At that moment, he finally realized that the "peace" he had dreamed of had long been shattered.

Lying on the ground, he was no different from his elderly self in the dilapidated cave, drained dry by the Gedo Statue. The tailed beast within him was gone, his will shattered—nothing more than a product of Black Zetsu's manipulation from beginning to end. That kind of peace was merely a reward for others. Madara disdained being anyone's sacrifice.

Most importantly, his belief in being a savior completely collapsed.

A person lives by their beliefs, and his Eye of the Moon plan was nothing more than a trick to resurrect Kaguya from beginning to end.

When the truth was laid bare before him, Madara finally let go of everything.

Tobirama guessed at his change of heart: "I also have some hatred for the Uchiha clan, so I'll just have some fun with them."

Ye Yan watched this action with distraction, without saying a word, and directly connected with Lama Fei. The bloodline ability of the Thousand Hands clan erupted at this moment, making it easier to unleash the bloodline. However, Ye Yan also had to extend the preparation time of a month.

The evolution from three tomoe to the Mangekyou Sharingan was an eye-opener for Madara. It wasn't the emotional stimulation, but rather the superposition of enhanced nerve cells to a certain level. In this month, Tobirama saw Ye Yan's talent level.

His pupils constricted sharply, and he staggered back half a step: "Mangekyou Sharingan?!" He stared intently into Ye Yan's eyes, his voice trembling, "Ye Yan, you...you evolved the Mangekyou Sharingan? No, this chakra fluctuation..."

He abruptly covered his Sharingan, veins bulging on his forehead. "It's too familiar! This is the chakra of that evil white-haired old devil! Tobirama Senju! Why is his aura mixed in with your Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Ye Yan: "Weren't you here to test my strength? You rejected my Thousand Hands bloodline. Of course, everyone can calm down. I still have Lord Madara's chakra."

Madara: "This kid's personality is too flamboyant, but having the strength does give him the right to be so arrogant and domineering."

Without the slightest hesitation, Madara lent his power to Ye Yan. This trust stemmed from the repeated adjustments made to the tripartite agreement over the past month, and even more so from the "unofficial history" written by Ye Yan. He traveled through the past Naruto world in the name of a savior, and the sincerity and sense of responsibility between the lines greatly increased Madara's goodwill towards this young man.

Of course, Madara wasn't the kind of person who would easily impart all his knowledge to a child; the power he lent was somewhat reserved, yet still substantial enough.

As Tobirama Senju watched this scene, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "The Uchiha clan's ideology is indeed too extreme. In several generations, they've produced an ultimate brother-obsessed individual."

These words were clearly a jab at Madara. Izuna frowned as he listened, about to retort, but Tobirama changed the subject: "However, I am willing to lend Ye Yan my power and help him reform the Uchiha clan. In the end, it's all for the greater good of Konoha."

Izuna stared wide-eyed in surprise; he hadn't expected this white-haired old devil to say such a thing.

The three exchanged a glance, all knowing the same thing: they had seen the entire crisis of the future.

Since we are destined to face a common enemy, then uniting as one and doing whatever we can is the right way.

At this moment, Tobirama let go of his prejudice against the Uchiha, Madara let go of his hatred for the Senju, and Izuna no longer clung to his brother's obsession from back then.

Ye Yan: "We're all from Konoha, why fight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, three forces surged into his body simultaneously: Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Mark, Izuna's Mangekyou Sharingan, and Madara's immense, suffocating chakra.

Ye Yan felt his eyes burning hot. The power of his Mangekyou Sharingan surged instantly, directly surpassing the level of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and approaching the power of the Rinnegan!

But this was far from over. Ye Yan transmitted this surge of power directly to all the Uchiha clan members in the current time and space through some kind of resonance.

At that moment, every Uchiha felt that eye power that surpassed everything, as if an eye was looking down on them from the sky.

Uchiha Itachi abruptly stood up, his usually calm face displaying uncontrollable shock for the first time: "This... what kind of eye power is this? Mangekyou Sharingan? No... this has surpassed the scope of the Sharingan!"

He covered his left eye, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Only in his shock did Setsuna suddenly realize something, muttering, "Ancestor, you're not dead... It's Izuna and Lord Madara's chakra, they're inside Ye Yan!"
