I and countless versions of myself simultaneously travel through time.

Itachi Uchiha's problems aren't a major issue, but his potential is undeniably useful; killing him is easier than controlling him. As for Shisui, he's a complete idiot, too deeply brainwashed by the Will of Fire, his intelligence is questionable.

With Izuna on his left and Madara on his right, Ye Yan is now invincible.

"I see. It's truly impressive that Clan Chief Ye Yan was able to summon Lord Ban. He even managed to summon that evil Thousand-Handed Old Ghost."

"Hmph, you evil Thousand-Handed Old Demon."

"That old scoundrel Sarutobi has already made his way to death."

Ye Yan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Shisui had just sent Danzo and Hiruzen over in person, so he himself wouldn't be going.

There's no need for him to personally handle the Konoha high-level meeting; he can do it himself.

Shisui walked down the corridor of the Hokage Building with a complicated expression.

His right eye had lost the power of the kaleidoscope, forcibly taken away by "Ye Yan," leaving him without both eyes.

He originally intended to secretly report the impending Uchiha rebellion to the Third Hokage, if he hadn't personally witnessed Madara Uchiha's appearance and the Second Hokage Tobirama's admission that the chakra in that body was genuine.

He recognized Tobirama Senju's chakra; that cold, blade-like oppressive feeling was unmistakable.

But now, everything is in chaos.

He took a deep breath and pushed open the conference room door.

Sure enough, the four people inside started arguing again.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

The third-generation leader's voice was filled with suppressed anger, and he slammed his pipe heavily on the table.

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen." Danzo's face was grim, his single eye fixed on him like a venomous snake. "Sooner or later, you'll pay the price for your weakness. Will you be worthy of the Second Hokage?"

"Hmph, Danzo, don't try that childish moral blackmail." The Third Hokage shook his head, his tone full of weariness and sarcasm. "It won't work on me. If the teacher really comes back to life, you'll be the first one to die."

"You." Danzo's face turned ashen, his fist clenched tightly.

Zhi Shui stood at the door, listening to these meaningless arguments, and felt nothing but absurdity.

Outside, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village is imminent. A mysterious man with the Second Hokage's chakra sits on the old site of the Uchiha clan, while the highest levels of Konoha are still attacking each other over old grievances from decades ago.

He knocked on the door and went inside.

"Shisui?" The Third Hokage looked up, his brow furrowed slightly. "What brings you here?"

Danzo's face darkened even more when he saw Shisui.

He snorted coldly and got up to leave.

"Lord Danzo, please wait." Shisui reached out to stop him, his tone calm but leaving no room for refusal. "Gentlemen, please come with me to the Uchiha clan. The Second Hokage... has been resurrected."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

The Third Hokage nearly dropped his pipe as he stared at Shisui's face, trying to find a trace of a joke in it.

Danzo went even further, shouting, "Shisui! Have you gone mad? The Second Hokage has been dead for decades! Have you been brainwashed by those Uchiha lunatics?"

He shook off Zhishui's hand and angrily walked towards the door.

Shisui did not loosen his grip; instead, he tightened his five fingers, firmly holding Danzo's wrist.

Danzo turned around, his single eye revealing a murderous intent.

Shisui sighed, and his three-tomoe Sharingan in his left eye slowly rotated. He tried to cast a simple genjutsu on the four people, not to attack them, but simply to calm them down and make them realize that he was not lying.

However, after losing the kaleidoscope, the power of his illusions was greatly reduced.

The power of the three-tomoe eye appeared pale and powerless in front of several battle-hardened high-ranking officials.

The illusion was immediately dispelled by the wills of the Third Hokage and Danzo.

Shisui blinked somewhat awkwardly, revealing his ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan.

The Third Hokage stared at those eyes for a moment before finally realizing that Shisui wasn't joking.

This young man has always been honest and never lies. He risked his clan's extermination to deliver the intelligence about the Uchiha coup. If he says the Second Hokage has been resurrected... then it's probably true.

And the kaleidoscope is gone too...

Could it be that the teacher won the revival match?

"Lead the way." The Third Hokage stood up, his tone now more serious.

Danzo stared in disbelief at the Third Hokage's retreating figure, then at Shisui's flawless face, before finally gritting his teeth and following him.

He wanted to see what other tricks those Uchiha lunatics could pull.

Zhi Shui is an honest man.

The Konoha leadership was well aware of this.

Back then, he was willing to bear the infamy of a traitor in order to stop the coup, and afterwards he quietly retreated into the shadows, never seeking credit.

Danzo used him to do many shady things, and although Shisui was unwilling, he never revealed a word of it to anyone.

Someone who values ​​the village more than his family would never joke about the "resurrection of the second generation."

The group arrived at the Nanga Shrine.

In the dimly lit basement, candlelight flickered, and the air was filled with the stale smell of blood.

A group of Uchiha clansmen stood on both sides, their crimson Sharingan eyes flickering in the darkness, like a group of silent ghosts.

In the very center of the stone chair sat a young man named Ye Yan.

His eyes were clearly a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, with strange and deep patterns, radiating a chilling power.

Upon seeing this display of power, Danzo's rage instantly overwhelmed his reason: "You Uchiha are deliberately rebelling!"

He shouted sternly, his hand already on the ninja tool on his arm.

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yan made a move.

He didn't get up, or even raise his hand; he simply raised his head slightly and looked at Danzo.

A vast, ocean-like chakra erupted from his body, collapsing like a mountain and shattering like a glacier, instantly filling the entire secret room.

Danzo's knees buckled almost uncontrollably, and his body trembled slightly.

The Third Hokage, Hiashi Hyuga, and Koharu Utatane all turned deathly pale, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.

This chakra... this cold, sharp, and undeniable aura.

It's Tobirama Senju!

It was their long-deceased Second Hokage!

The four of them seemed to have returned to the past.

Back then, they were still young genin, standing behind the Second Hokage, watching him suppress all dissent with ruthless methods.

Tobirama's chakra never lies; that suffocating feeling, like a knife to the throat, is etched into one's bones even after decades.

Ye Yan slowly stood up, his kaleidoscope eyes spinning, yet he uttered a voice as authoritative as Tobirama's: "Long time no see, Hiruzen, Danzo."

Danzo's eyes widened, his lips trembling as he couldn't utter a word.

The third generation was so moved that he burst into tears and almost knelt down.

Ye Yan, or rather, Tobirama Senju, who was temporarily occupying this body, glanced at everyone present and said calmly, "I currently control this body, but I can return it to him at any time. Now, can anyone tell me just how chaotic Konoha has become?"

"Teacher, you didn't die after all?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado all knelt down, tears streaming down their faces.

Decades of longing, guilt, and fear all surged into my heart at this moment.

They're all veteran actors.

Meanwhile, in the mental space, Uchiha Yeyan, Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Izuna were sitting with their legs crossed, watching this scene with great interest. Madara's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of mockery.

Four old men, whose combined age is nearly two hundred, kneeling before a young boy and weeping bitterly—this scene was more captivating than any stage play.

"Hmph." Madara snorted coldly, "The village Hashirama built is truly laughable. Konoha is becoming more and more useless."

Tobirama spared a sliver of his attention and retorted without turning his head, "At least it's much better than your Eye of the Moon plan."

Ban's smile froze on his face, his eyes twitched a few times, but he did not refute.

The Eye of the Moon Plan... After witnessing the true threat posed by the Otsutsuki clan, even he himself found the plan utterly absurd.

In the mental space, Izuna gently patted his brother's shoulder, signaling him not to stoop to the level of a dead man.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi knelt on the ground, his heart filled with complex emotions.

His control over Konoha was actually far less solid than outsiders imagined. He had personally trained the Anbu, the Ino-Shika-Cho clans were closely allied with him, and he barely managed to maintain a balance between the conflicts between the various clans.

He considered his reputation in Konoha to be decent, at least much better than that rat in the gutter, Danzo.

Danzo's crimes were so numerous that even his old friend couldn't bear to look at them.

From the memories given to him by Ye Yan, Tobirama saw the fate of the Uchiha clan in Boruto, the threat posed by the Otsutsuki clan, and the dirty deeds Danzo had committed over the years.

Tobirama originally did not want to get involved in the problems of the future; he was already dead and should not interfere in the world of the living.

But with the Ōtsutsuki clan facing imminent crisis, he had no choice but to take action.

Of all these disciples, the one who disappointed him the most was Danzo.

The only thing that could be considered useful was that Danzo and the demigod Hanzo joined forces to solve the Akatsuki's problem, but that was like drinking poison to quench thirst.

When Konoha was invaded, Danzo personally killed the toad that was communicating with Mount Myōboku and stood by while the village was attacked.

There are also the Root's clandestine control methods, the failure of the Wood Release experiments, and the deaths of countless children as a result...

As Tobirama pondered these questions, his temples throbbed. Perhaps none of the disciples he had trained when he was covering the rear were capable of shouldering great responsibilities.

"Danzo," Tobirama sighed, his voice full of weariness.

Danzo shuddered; the feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake returned.

That was Tobirama's killing intent, and even though Tobirama was currently residing in the body of an eleven-year-old Uchiha boy, that killing intent had not diminished in the slightest.

Danzo knelt even lower, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke first, tears streaming down his face, "Teacher, these past years have been so hard, so tiring! I think of you every day, looking at your portrait, thinking carefully about the future of Konoha, never daring to forget for a moment! I have always been loyal to you, and I have been thinking about the great revival of Konoha non-stop!"

He kowtowed heavily, his forehead hitting the floor with a dull thud.

"I am the leader of Konoha, but I failed in my duty to Danzo, which is something I wanted to do. If you wish to kill me, I will have no complaints, just as I came to my death when we were covering the retreat. I will always be your student, your disciple!"

Danzo knelt to one side, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He felt as if he had returned to the past, to the boy who stood behind Tobirama, looking up at his teacher.

He was struggling internally, wanting to muster the courage to speak first, but his lips trembled for a long time and he couldn't utter a single word.

Hurry up and tell me, you stubborn mum!

Tobirama gave him a cold look: "Danzo, you can make the first move. I'd like to test just how strong the Uchiha clan's bloodline really is."

In the mental space, Madara laughed: "Tobirama dares to challenge the Uchiha clan?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tobirama's eyes suddenly changed. The crimson Sharingan faded, replaced by rings of pale purple ripples. The Rinnegan!

Ban's face instantly darkened.

That was his power!

It's his Rinnegan!

What a beast!

Ye Yan smiled in his mental space: "Senior Madara, don't be angry. Senior Tobirama is willing to become the leader of the Uchiha clan and mediate the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha. This is beneficial to both sides."

Ye Yan wanted to become Hokage, naturally for the sake of power.

In the entire ninja world, apart from Konoha, which of the other villages—Amegakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, or Kumogakure—has the same military foundation and geographical environment as Konoha?

Controlling Konoha is tantamount to controlling the lifeline of the ninja world.

However, reconciling the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village is only the first step.

Danzo knelt on the ground, looked at those Rinnegan eyes, and finally lowered his head.

He didn't dare to make a move, not because he didn't want to, but because he was genuinely afraid.

The fear that came from the depths of his soul weighed him down so much that he couldn't even lift a finger.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and blocked Danzo's path: "Sensei, please calm down!"

Danzo stared in disbelief at Hiruzen's retreating figure.

Over the years, he has done so many things to betray Hiruzen, secretly cultivating the Root organization, seizing the Hokage's power, and even attempting to assassinate the Third Hokage, yet Hiruzen still stood up for him.

He thought Hiruzen had long forgotten this kindness.

His eyes were slightly red, and his throat bobbed a few times, but he couldn't say anything.

Monkey, let's be brothers in our next life!

No one will tell you not to regret it.

Tobirama sighed, his voice full of helplessness: "Then I'll do it myself."

He stretched out his hand and aimed it at Danzo.

Myriad phenomena guide the heavens.

Danzo's body was involuntarily drawn towards him, and his neck fell precisely into Tobirama's hand.

He didn't fight back, he didn't even struggle.

His single eye calmly gazed at Tobirama, his lips slightly parted: "Lord Tobirama... may you rest in peace."

In the mental space, Ye Yan quickly spoke up: "Don't really kill him! I still need to use him as a spy in other ninja villages! Preserve the body; profit is the most important thing."

Tobirama frowned, but his hands didn't stop.

With a "crack," Danzo's neck was snapped.

His body slumped down, and his eyes gradually became unfocused.

Tobirama casually tossed the body to the ground, where it made a dull thud.

The Uchiha clan members were taken aback for a moment, then burst into deafening laughter.

"Hahaha! That old scoundrel Danzo is finally dead!"

"Serves him right! That old bastard finally got what he deserved!"

"Tobirama Uchiha, as expected of you!"

Izuna was laughing so hard in the mental space that he was doubled over, slapping his thigh: "Uchiha Tobirama! Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"

Tobirama's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "That's enough."

He took a deep breath, slowly turning his gaze to Hiruzen Sarutobi, his expression as cold as frost, yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Monkey, listen to me carefully. Answer me, why did you personally send Konoha's children to the experimental table? Some of those children hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy, some hadn't even remembered their parents' faces, yet you tacitly allowed them to be sent to the Root's laboratory. Why let so many innocent children meet their demise? Are their lives just numbers on a report in your eyes? Speak!"

Danzo's death completely shocked Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

The two elderly people knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. They looked at Danzo's corpse, their hearts filled with mixed feelings—fear, yet a vague sense that... perhaps this was the end he deserved.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could answer, Tobirama had already reached out his hand again.

Myriad phenomena guide the heavens.

Tobirama was secretly enjoying playing with the Rinnegan.

Hiruzen's body was uncontrollably sucked in and fell into Tobirama's hands.

Hiruzen's breathing quickened, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "Master, I know about these things. I was the one who told Danzo to do it."

Tobirama's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Konoha needs darkness," Hiruzen's voice trembled, yet remained resolute. "There are things the Hokage cannot do, but someone must do. Danzo... that person. I know what he did, and I condoned it. I share in all the sins."

Tobirama was silent for a moment, then released his grip and threw Hiruzen to the ground: "Resign as Hokage. You don't deserve this position."

Hiruzen fell to the ground but did not get up.

He lay prostrate on the ground, his aged face streaked with tears. The thought of Tobirama regaining his position as Hokage finally allowed him to relax, and he couldn't help but hum softly.

In his mental space, Ye Yan smiled slightly and regained control of his body.

He moved his fingers, feeling the remaining Tobirama chakra in this body, and then formed hand seals.

The technique of reincarnation in the Impure World.

Two white figures slowly rose from the ground; they were White Zetsu.

This was something Ye Yan had secretly captured, and he had been secretly monitoring the five major villages.

Ye Yan took out several old corpses of the Uchiha clan from the sealing scroll and threw them all into the offerings for the Impure World Reincarnation.

Then, a transparent panel appeared deep within my consciousness.

[Should we use 120 Fate Points to forcibly modify Tobirama Senju's bloodline?]

Ye Yan chose "yes" without hesitation.

A strange power surged into his body, and Tobirama felt a subtle change occurring in his bloodline.

The line between the Senju and Uchiha clans began to blur at this moment...

In the spiritual space, Tobirama opened his eyes, feeling the surging new energy within him. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Ye Yan... what exactly do you want to do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in shock, "This...this is! Uchiha clan chakra! Master, you..."

"That's right, he is the new representative of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Tobirama."
