"Tsukikage?"
It was impossible for Uchiha Yue not to be surprised when the Third Tsuchikage suddenly appeared in front of him. After all, in the original story, the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Hokage had always been enemies.

Besides, even the genjutsu cast with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had its limits. Yue's genjutsu
