I and countless versions of myself simultaneously travel through time.

How did Ye Yan use Kaguya as a power bank?

It sounds simple, but it requires real strength to do. After all, Ye Yan's strongest strength at present is the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally he would choose speedrun to overthrow the entire ninja world.

He first used Susanoo as a vehicle to break through the atmosphere and reach the moon. He then swept through the stronghold of the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura. Those branch families who called themselves "Otsutsuki" did not even have the right to fight back in front of Ye Yan.

Upon landing, he sensed Kaguya sealed within his core using his Sage Chakra. He then used the power of the Six Paths Yin and Yang to create a technique that forcibly connected Kaguya's chakra with the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" genjutsu space outside.

This technique is essentially a conversion array. Kaguya, as the source of chakra, has her power extracted, filtered, and distributed into the virtual world constructed by Ye Yan.

Everyone in the ninja world can project their consciousness into this space through a specific hand seal, and all the costs are "paid for" by Kaguya.

Ye Yan jokingly called her a "perpetual motion machine," which Ban, upon hearing from inside her body, exclaimed was outrageous.

This kid even dares to use the Sage of Six Paths' mother as a battery.

Tobirama carried Black Zetsu, who was wrapped up like a dumpling by the sealing technique, out of the Hokage Building. His steps were light, and he even hummed a little tune: "Remembering those days, tears never dried, how desolate..."

Black Zetsu cowered inside the seal, his heart breaking. He, the mighty Otsutsuki Agaruk, the mastermind behind the scenes for a thousand years, was now being held like a toy by an old ghost from the Senju clan.

What's even more humiliating is that Tobirama would occasionally pinch it to study the texture of Yin-Yang Release.

After Ye Yan saw Hei Jue off, his consciousness sank into the shared space and instantly returned to his office, where a trace of his consciousness returned.

The powers of Ye Yan from Battle Through the Heavens, Ye Yan the Mortal, Ye Yan the Mysterious... converged once again, and the 190 trillion cells in his body began to operate wildly, each cell greedily absorbing the energy from all the heavens.

With his cultivation speed increasing dramatically, Ye Yan could feel that he was one step closer to the Nascent Soul stage.

Stepping out of his office, Ye Yan summoned the senior management and issued a direct order: "Konoha Vanguard Captain, Hatake Kakashi, listen to my command."

Kakashi knelt on one knee, his expression solemn: "Present!"

"Mobilize immediately to investigate all corrupt officials in Konoha, including those who embezzle, abuse their power, or oppress civilians, regardless of their status. Crack down on them severely and show no leniency."

"Especially those troublemakers and bullies, regardless of age, should all be thrown into prison."

"Yes!" Kakashi saluted, but a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Ye Yan glanced at him, his tone softening slightly: "By the way, the Dark Division has already investigated your father's case. The mastermind is Danzo. He forged mission orders, forcing your father to choose between his comrades and the mission, ultimately leading to White Fang's suicide. You can go to Danzo's center anytime to seek revenge, and while you're at it, just to clock in and go through the motions."

Kakashi's body trembled violently. He opened his mouth, his voice hoarse: "Danzo... is he still alive?"

"Dead," Ye Yan said casually. "I resurrected him using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Now he's a garbage bag, placed in the village's central garbage station for the villagers to vent their emotions. You can hit him if you want, curse him if you want, after all, this troublemaker is useless."

Kakashi remained silent for a long time before slowly turning his head to look at the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, beside him.

Hiruzen had a pipe in his mouth, the smoke obscuring half his face, making his expression impossible to see, but his shoulders slumped slightly, as if bearing some invisible weight.

"Go ahead." Ye Yan waved his hand.

Kakashi vanished in an instant, and no one knew whether he went to investigate the parasites or to the garbage dump to see an "old friend".

Ye Yan then looked at Hyuga Hiashi.

Hyuga Hiashi's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Although this young Hokage was only eleven years old, his methods of wiping out the Konoha leadership and suppressing all opposition forces overnight had already taught everyone a lesson.

No one dared to look down on him because of his age anymore.

"Clan Chief Hiashi, this is the true feedback from the Hyuga branch family over the past twenty years." Ye Yan pushed a thick stack of documents in front of Hiashi and handed him a scroll. "This is the method to break the Caged Bird Seal, which I researched personally. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Go back and take a good look at these documents, listen to the weeping, cursing, and pleas of the branch family members in the corners of the night, not only the physical pain, but also the humiliation of their dignity. The thousand-year-old system of slavery should end."

Riji took the documents, his hands trembling slightly.

He turned to the first page, which was filled with anonymous testimonies from the branch family ninjas; every word felt like a needle piercing his eyes.

This was a special investigation by Ye Yan into the grievances of the Hyuga branch family members, and it has been signed and sealed by hundreds of people.

Ye Yan then took out three small porcelain bottles from the drawer and pushed them onto the table: "These three pills are for restoring chakra, increasing chakra control, and stabilizing the emotions of the Uchiha clan, respectively. They are all products I personally tested, and their effectiveness is guaranteed. The Uchiha and Hyuga are the two pillars of Konoha, but also the two major sources of disease. The medication cannot be stopped."

He stood up, placed his hands on the table, and scanned the faces of everyone present.

"Everyone, I have a decision to announce today. From this day forward, Konoha will no longer be a ninja village. Konoha will become a nation. A ninja nation."

The meeting room was completely silent; even breathing could be heard clearly.

Ye Yan didn't stop; his voice deepened: "What is the ninja world's thousand-year history? It's a cycle of hatred, a perpetual motion machine of war, a meat grinder that turns people into tools and lives into numbers. Look at the history of the past thousand years. During the Warring States period, children went to the battlefield, killed people at five, and died in battle at seven. The survivors even celebrated 'reducing the population burden'."

"What happened after the ninja village was established? During the Third Hokage's reign, White Fang was forced to his death by public opinion for saving his comrades; during the Fourth Hokage's reign, countless families were torn apart on the night of the Nine-Tails; during the Fifth Hokage's reign, which is now under my rule, I have checked the archives and found that one-third of the non-combat deaths of the Anbu each year are due to suicide caused by psychological breakdown."

"What have we been training? Killing machines. Ninja academies don't teach how to be human, they teach how to kill more efficiently. Mission completion rate, casualty rate, enemy-to-ally exchange ratio."

"These cold, hard statistics are the standard by which to measure the value of a ninja. As for whether he's tired, whether he's suffering, whether he has someone he wants to see, or whether he has the life he wants, who cares?"

"That's why I propose the new Will of Fire. It's not the empty slogan of 'everyone joining hands will bring peace' that the First Hokage spoke of. Lord Hashirama was very strong, strong enough to suppress an era, but his peace was a fragile balance built on individual strength. When he died, the First Shinobi World War broke out. Why? Because he didn't change the system, he didn't change people's hearts, he just used his fists to temporarily shut everyone up."

"True peace is not achieved through force, but through a system. It's not about turning ninjas into tools, but about allowing them to become human again. I need every member of Konoha, no, every person in the ninja nation, to have entertainment, companionship, and the experience of family after completing their missions. The Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu space was built for this purpose. Inside, you can see your deceased loved ones, experience different lives, temporarily forget about killing and hatred, and simply live purely."

"The New Will of Fire is not empty rhetoric. Its core is: everyone is a human being, not a tool. The village exists to protect people's happiness, not to make people sacrifice themselves for the village. This order cannot be reversed."

After Ye Yan finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.
