Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Since that "academic discussion" by the stream a month ago, Tobirama's feelings toward Uchiha Tsuki have been extremely complicated.

He knew that this person possessed unfathomable wisdom and ninjutsu theories that matched his thought process, making him a kindred spirit in ninjutsu exchanges.

But that's precisely why he was even more wary.

Therefore, he tried every means to extract some information about Yue from Minato during that month.

He couldn't see through this Uchiha.

"Brother, taking a few outsiders to fight Uchiha Madara is too risky," Tobirama warned.

But when Hashirama Senju looked into Tsuki's open and honest eyes, and then at the fighting spirit in Minato and his wife's eyes, he suddenly burst into a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha! Good! Well said!"

Hashirama patted Yue on the shoulder, "Since you have the courage to face the past and the sincerity to fight for peace, what reason do I, Hashirama Senju, have to refuse?!"

"Big brother!"

"Alright, Tobirama! Since they're willing to help, let them witness the Senju clan's determination to quell this chaos!" Hashirama's eyes sharpened. "All troops, move out! Target: Uchiha Madara and the Nine-Tails!"

Watching Hashirama turn and stride out of the tent, Uchiha Tsuki lowered his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips.

To stop the freak? To show sincerity?

Those were just nice words spoken to the Senju clan.

Since Tobirama's enlightenment a month ago, Yue has come to a profound understanding of the qualitative leap that "Yang Release" brings to the essence of ninjutsu.

But theoretical deduction in the laboratory is one thing, and actual practical application is another.

The only real reason he went to such lengths to follow Hashirama to the front lines was that he had only one purpose.

He wanted to see it for himself!

Witness how this man, known as the "God of Ninjas," perfectly integrated Yang Release, representing the ultimate vitality, into Wood Release during the most intense battles!

"If I could witness Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands with my own eyes, and also see Madara Uchiha's Complete Susanoo..."

"The ultimate clash between Yin and Yang."

"If I can glimpse even a trace of the threshold of the Super Shadow level in that battle that can only be described as a miracle, then my journey to the Warring States period... will be completely complete!"

"Let's go, Hikari, Minato."

The moon turned away, its black cloak fluttering in the cold wind of the Warring States period.

"Go and see the most spectacular scenery of this era!"

……

On the border of the Land of Fire, amidst a series of primeval mountains.

The raging chakra swept through like a hurricane, uprooting vast swathes of ancient trees and creating a deafening roar as the mountain collapsed.

Amidst the billowing smoke and debris, a nine-tailed fox, its body as massive as a mountain, let out a deafening roar.

However, this roar lacked any semblance of authority befitting a "natural disaster," instead filled with resentment.

Because in its fox eyes, which should have been filled with ferocity, three scarlet tomoe were now reflected.

It appears sometimes and disappears sometimes.

"Roar—! You Uchiha bastards! Let me go!"

The nine-tailed creature struggled frantically, its nine enormous tails thrashing wildly through the valley, trying to break free from the overwhelming and unreasonable control of its eye power within its brain.

But on a precipice in front of it, a proud figure dressed in dark red armor and holding an Uchiha fan was looking down at it.

Madara Uchiha.

His wild, long black hair danced wildly in the storm of chakra, and his Mangekyou Sharingan exuded a chilling coldness that could freeze one's soul.

"Quiet down, you beast."

Madara coldly uttered a few words, and his eye power suddenly intensified. The Nine-Tails' massive body stiffened uncontrollably for a moment, letting out an extremely humiliating whimper.

The mighty Tailed Beast, in front of these eyes, was like a pet dog with its neck tethered.

Just then, Ban raised an eyebrow slightly, and his arrogant eyes suddenly turned to the edge of the distant forest.

A terrifying chakra, so familiar to him that it could make everything grow, was rapidly approaching him with overwhelming force!

"boom!"

A deep red figure crashed down like a meteor onto a mountaintop hundreds of meters away from Ban, the powerful impact creating a huge crater in the mountaintop.

"Madara—!!!"

Hashirama Senju's powerful roar echoed throughout the entire valley.

He looked at the man opposite him, his face showing no tension as if facing a formidable enemy, but rather the ecstatic joy of "finally finding you."

"Hashira's mom—!!!"

Madara Uchiha's lips instantly curled into a battle-ready smile.

He had lost all interest in even glancing at the Nine-Tails; all his attention was focused on his lifelong nemesis and best friend.

"You're finally here! I've been getting a little impatient!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox, sandwiched between two mountain peaks: "..."

The Nine-Tails' massive body was disheveled in the wind. It looked to its left at the madman Uchiha who had forcibly used the Sharingan to summon it, and to its right at the Senju monster that exuded a Wood Release aura that instinctively disgusted and terrified it.

For a moment, an indescribable sense of sorrow and grievance welled up in Nine-Tails' heart.

What sins did it commit to have to face these two bastards who don't even regard the tailed beasts as foxes today?

In the past thousand years, apart from the Six Paths Elder, no one has ever appeared with such power. How come there are two like this in this era?

And he encountered them all.

Outside, the Senju clan's elite forces were rapidly assembling behind Hashirama.

Uchiha Tsuki, Hikaru, Minato, and Kushina also landed on the treetop.

Madara's gaze swept past Hashirama, across the Senju army behind him, and finally settled on the black-robed youth with Sharingan.

Chapter 55 Nine-Tails, your power is too great!

"Hashirama, I understand that you brought people to stop me."

Madara slung his fan over his shoulder. "But why are there members of my Uchiha clan following behind you?"

Hashirama laughed and loudly explained, "Madara! They are the grand-disciples of Uchiha Chisato! They are also Uchiha who yearn for peace! Madara, stop! Even the young people in your clan long for a future without bloodshed. Why can't we sit down and have a proper talk?"

"Grand-disciple? That means Aizen's disciple, right? They're all remnants left behind by that old woman."

Madara chuckled dismissively: "Since you have betrayed the pride of the Uchiha clan, then you have no reason to exist."

Before he finished speaking, Madara didn't even form any hand seals; he simply waved the Uchiha fan in his hand.

"call--!"

A surge of violent chakra, mixed with three enormous blue tomoe energy blasts (Yasaka Magatama), ripped through the air at a terrifying speed, directly crossing most of the battlefield and slamming into Uchiha Tsuki on the treetop!

"Moon!" Minato exclaimed in surprise.

However, Yue stood still, not moving a single finger, letting the three terrifying magatama energy bullets bombard her body.

"BOOM—!!!"

The towering tree where the moon was located was instantly blasted into dust, with smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

"Hmph, utterly pathetic." Madara withdrew his fan and sneered disdainfully.

"Really?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out in Ban's ears, and even echoed throughout the valley.

Madara suddenly turned his head, his Mangekyou Sharingan staring intently at the spot where the smoke and dust had dissipated.

Uchiha Yue stood unharmed on another branch, not even the hem of his clothes was torn by the wind.

Where he had just stood, now shattered by the explosion, only a few leaves were slowly drifting down.

Yue held the ordinary straight sword, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“Clan Chief Madara, Grandma Chiri, you shouldn’t be mocked by a descendant of the Uchiha clan who has received your favor.”

[A mirage]!

The instant Madara made his move, Yue had already activated the ultimate Yin Release genjutsu.

The first encounter was fatal.

Even with Madara's kaleidoscope, caught off guard, his vision was slightly off, and he mistook the leaves for the moon itself!

Ban was stunned for a moment.

Then, looking at Yue's calm and composed demeanor, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turned up, eventually turning into a deafening burst of maniacal laughter!

"Hahaha! This is hilarious! So hilarious!"

Madara's laughter was filled with the excitement of seeing a perfect prey. "You actually managed to deceive my eyes with Yin Release! Even if it was only for a moment, you have reason to be proud! No wonder you dared to betray your clan. It seems that Aizen has indeed trained a decent disciple!"

"Ban! I'm your opponent! Don't attack your juniors!"

Seeing that Madara was about to make a move, Hashirama Senju activated Sage Mode, clasped his hands together, and unleashed a massive burst of Yang Release chakra!

A gigantic wooden dragon roared out from the ground and headed straight for Uchiha Madara.

"Good timing! Hashirama!"

Madara's fighting spirit was completely ignited, and he disregarded the moon and light.

Deep blue chakra surged into the sky, instantly transforming into the complete Susanoo, drawing out a giant chakra light sword and slashing it towards the wood dragon!

The battle of the gods has officially begun!

Seeing the earth-shattering commotion, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath, and the Ming seal between his brows faintly burned.

He stared intently at the way Hashirama used Wood Release to manipulate chakra. The extreme micro-management that imbued the ninjutsu with "Yang Release life force" was being frantically dissected and recorded by his Sharingan!

"Senju! Stop the Uchiha!" Tobirama Senju drew his ninja sword and quickly issued the order.
