Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Madara Uchiha, a rogue ninja of Konoha and former head of the Uchiha clan, was killed on the spot by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, at the Valley of the End on the border, leaving no trace of his body.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, successfully slew the rogue ninja and protected the village, but due to the unprecedented ferocity of the battle, he suffered irreversible and fatal injuries. Although the medical team has done their utmost to save him, his life is temporarily spared, and his days are likely numbered.

When this notice, bearing the highest-ranking red seal of the Hokage, was posted on all the bulletin boards in the village, the entire Hidden Leaf Village fell into an unprecedented silence.

After a brief silence, heart-wrenching cries erupted from the crowd, followed by an overwhelming sense of bewilderment and extreme anger.

Chapter 176 The Great Evil Month

In this parallel universe called "United Konoha," the Uchiha were not ostracized, and the Senju and Uchiha had long since put aside their prejudices.

The two founders are the shared faith and pride of the entire village.

No one could accept such a tragic and absurd ending!

"Why? Lord Madara clearly cares so much about the village. He was even willing to risk his life to protect us. Why did he choose to defect?"

"What terrible reason did the First Generation Lord have that forced these two creators to the point of no return, of mutual destruction?"

"I don't believe it! There must be something more to this!"

Faced with the grief and indignation of the entire village and their questions, Tobirama Senju, who was acting as the Hokage, dragged his "tired" body onto the roof of the Hokage Building.

In the pouring rain, Tobirama revealed the "truth" to the entire village in a somber voice.

"Uchiha Madara... did not betray Konoha."

Tobirama's voice, amplified by chakra, reached the ears of every villager.

"He was the victim of a conspiracy. An alien from another dimension named 'Otsutsuki Tsuki' used an illusion technique beyond our understanding to distort Madara's perception and drive him to the point of betraying the village."

"In order to free Madara from that terrible control, the First Hokage engaged in a life-or-death battle with the controlled Madara..."

Controlling Uchiha Madara?

To distort the understanding of the Asura of the Ninja World?

Upon hearing this utterly absurd reason, the villagers and ninjas in the square instantly lost their minds.

That's the head of the Uchiha clan, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Who could control him with illusions? Are you kidding me?

However, those Konoha Jonin who had been invited by Tobirama to participate in the battlefield recovery of the Valley of the End were now pale-faced and trembling uncontrollably.

They believed it.

Because during the battle reconnaissance, they witnessed firsthand the man who called himself "Otsutsuki Tsuki".

The man in the black trench coat did not attack the rescue team.

He simply hovered high in the air, coldly looking down at the hundreds of Konoha elites below.

Then, a terrifying mental fluctuation swept through everyone's minds!

Tsukuyomi

That was an "experiential illusion" that Yue forcibly implanted into the minds of the ninjas who participated in the rescue team at the time.

In that illusion, they witnessed the sky crack open, monsters descended from beyond the stars, their proud ninjutsu was torn apart like paper, and the entire Hidden Leaf Village was instantly reduced to ashes in a sea of ​​fire...

There were no physical casualties, but the despair of being "powerless like ants in the face of absolute power" was etched into the soul of every Konoha ninja at that time!

"Too weak. Your so-called 'strongest ninja village' doesn't even deserve to please me."

"If you don't want to be erased without dignity like you are today someday in the future... then struggle, try to touch the truth of chakra with your ridiculous wisdom."

"Come to me when you feel you have the power to resist."

As people echoed each other's opinions, gradually, everyone's mind automatically reconstructed the "truth of the past."

……

The rain is still falling.

However, the atmosphere in Konoha Village Square underwent a transformation after the extreme humiliation.

Who are they? They are the most powerful ninja village on this continent!

They possess the "God of Ninjas" who can quell the chaos of the world, and the "Shura of the Ninja World" who stands above all others!

For the past decade, the Senju and Uchiha clans have been invincible, and even the Kage of the other four great nations must bow their heads in submission!

They thought that "the current (united) Konoha" represented the pinnacle of the ninja world, and that there was nothing in the world that could threaten the peace of the village.

But today, that man who calls himself "Otsutsuki Tsuki" mercilessly trampled them into the mud!

He didn't even bother killing another person, leaving behind only a condescending mockery.

Faced with such humiliation, no one dwelled on the sadness anymore, nor did anyone delve into whether the details of the "control" were reasonable.

Because after Konoha's pride as the world's number one was shattered, what followed was a furious rage that burned away reason!

"We are too weak..."

In the crowd, a young Thousand Hands ninja clenched his fist tightly and slammed it onto the waterlogged stone slab.

"Unforgivable..." an elite Jonin from the Uchiha clan said angrily, "They controlled Madara-sama, beat the First Hokage to the brink of death, and then dared to look down on Konoha with those eyes that look like they were looking at insects!"

"We must become stronger! We must take revenge!"

"We will repay that bastard named Otsutsuki Tsuki a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for the humiliation suffered by the First Hokage and Madara, and for the dignity Konoha has lost today!!!"

"Yes! Get stronger!"

A deafening roar tore through the rain and soared into the sky.

At this moment, the flames of revenge intertwined and transformed into a driving force for upward climbing.

……

However, it was completely different from the bleak and miserable atmosphere outside.

The Konoha Hokage Building, however, presents an eerily bizarre scene.

"Snap! Snap!"

"Delicious! Minato, go get me two more plates of grilled meat!"

Hashirama Senju, who should have been "mortally wounded and nearing the end of his life," was now sitting cross-legged on his sickbed, shirtless, his body wrapped in bandages, while his large mouth was like a bottomless pit, frantically stuffing food into it.

As for Uchiha Madara, who "died in the Valley of the End and whose body was never found," he had changed into a clean black kimono, crossed his arms, and stared at Uchiha Tsuki and Senju Tobirama, who had just walked in, with a murderous look on his face.

"Uchiha Tsukuyomi!"

Ban gritted his teeth: "What kind of lousy script did you write? My perception has been altered by an illusion? I can be controlled? This is an utter disgrace!"

Are you being controlled?

Even he himself felt disgusted by saying that!

Do you think I want to recite lines so full of holes?

Tobirama said coldly, "Since we've announced that you're 'dead' and my brother is 'crippled,' we have to give the villagers a reasonable explanation! If we say that you two were just sparring for fun, the village's faith will completely collapse!"

“Besides,” Tobirama glanced at Uchiha Tsuki, who was leisurely drinking tea beside him, “isn’t this all to cater to this guy’s twisted sense of humor? Only by giving you the title of a victim of ‘force majeure’ can we maximize the village’s hatred and fear of ‘Otsutsuki Tsuki,’ thereby motivating them to strive for improvement.”

"Senior Ban, it's just a little bit of fame, don't take it so seriously."

Uchiha Yue's lips curled into a mocking smile.

A nation without external threats is destined to perish.

Without some pressure, Konoha in this world might gradually fall apart due to its arrogance.

"However, this performance was quite successful. Konoha's cohesion and research motivation have been fully stimulated, and the 'corrective force' did not impose any punishment, which shows that it has perfectly accepted the historical outcome of 'Madara's death and Pillar's injury'."

"Then let's talk about another matter, the future direction of Konoha."

Chapter 177 Expectations for a United Konoha

Uchiha Yue leaned back lazily in his chair.

To his left, the Sage of Six Paths' illusory spirit was quietly suspended in mid-air, holding a staff in his hand, his purple Rinnegan silently watching over everyone in the ward.

At Yue's right foot, a pool of dark sludge lay on the ground like a dead dog; it was Black Zetsu.

Logically speaking, these two entities, whose origins and appearances are both terrifying, should have caused a huge uproar long ago.

But at this moment, Hashirama, Madara, and the others in the ward seemed to ignore it.

This is an absolute crushing victory in terms of life dimension and status!

However, Tobirama Senju, with his meticulous mind and extremely keen senses, still sensed something was amiss.

“Uchiha Tsukuyomi…”

Tobirama frowned, staring intently at the air around Tsuki, and asked, "Did you bring something back with you? Why do I see a very strange 'gap' when my senses scan you there?"

Upon hearing this reminder, Minato's expression turned serious: "I felt it too... I can't see anything with my eyes, but my intuition tells me there's something there!"

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths, suspended in mid-air, showed a hint of appreciation on his aged face, and his voice resounded directly in Yue's mind:

"This silver-haired junior and that blond young man were actually able to intuitively reach the edge of the dimension where I am... Such keen talent is truly rare among mortals throughout history."

Uchiha Yue chuckled inwardly, without explaining much to Hagoromo.

He turned his head and casually waved to Tobirama and Minato, who were both on guard.

"Relax, Tobirama, Minato."

Yue picked up her teacup and blew on the steam rising from it: "There's no need to hide anymore, come out."

"Om-!"

It was as if an invisible hand had forcibly pulled back a thick dimensional curtain.

A ripple spread through the space of the ward.

The next second, two figures appeared in everyone's sight!

"Let me formally introduce it to you."

Uchiha Yue put down his teacup, pointed to the old man in mid-air, and then to the black mud on the ground:
