Five Kage Summit
Tianqi looked out the window at Tsunade, who looked completely bewildered and lost, and he felt a pang of heartache.
"Hey, Tsunade, be strong. I believe you're not that fragile. You can do it." After reading Tsunade, Tianqi left immediately and returned to the camp. He was afraid that if he watched any longer, he would feel even more heartbroken.
A few days after Tianqi returned to his camp, Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo also returned to Konoha. Upon their Konoha, they were shocked to learn that Tianqi had defected and even challenged several major nations.
Meanwhile, news also came from the Shinobi World that the Third Raikage A, had summoned the Kage of the Five Great Villages to begin the Second Five Kage Summit in the Land of Lightning (Shinobi World the first one was organized by Hashirama Senju).
The major ninja villages, which should have been enemies, put aside their hatred and gathered together.
"I initiated this Five Kage Summit, so let me start. Apart from Konoha, everyone should have received Uchiha Tianqi's declaration of war, right? His goal isn't just any one village, but to wipe out all of our major villages in one fell swoop."
"To put it bluntly, with Uchiha Tianqi's current strength, neither of our villages alone could defeat him. No, even if the two villages joined forces, it probably wouldn't be enough," the Third Raikage A, said loudly.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, listened to Raikage A's words and fell into deep thought. He had once believed that Tianqi would definitely make a name for himself in the Shinobi World. He never imagined that many years later, Tenten Qi would be so bold as to challenge the entire Shinobi World. He didn't know why Tianqi would suddenly act this way; he couldn't understand it.
Just how strong have you become, Tianqi, that you dare to challenge the Shinobi World with only a few Uchiha clan members?
To this day, Sarutobi Hiruzen still doesn't know just how strong Tianqi really is. He knows Tianqi is very powerful, but he has no idea just how powerful he is.
"After saying all this, I just want to join forces with everyone to completely eradicate this scourge, Uchiha Tianqi. What do you Kage say about joining forces?" A finished speaking and looked at the Four Kage present.
"Hmph! Uchiha Tianqi killed many of my Sand Ninja. This time I will make him pay the price. I agree to join forces!" Hadazaemon on the table and shouted.
"I also agree to join forces. Uchiha Tianqi must die," Ghost Lantern Eiji chimed in.
"I don't need to say anything more, I must be included in the effort to eliminate Uchiha Tianqi," Ōnoki also stepped forward.
All three villages were attacked by Tianqi. They not only lost face for their great nation, but also suffered heavy losses. Even without Raikage's organization, they would have joined forces this time.
"Alright, since the three of you agree, then our Four Great Nations will join forces to completely annihilate Uchiha Tianqi." After saying this, A looked at Konoha and said, "Third Hokage, what about you? You don't intend to protect Uchiha Tianqi, do you? I advise you to think carefully."
Hearing A's threatening tone, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew this wasn't the time to hesitate. He immediately stood up and said, "Third Raikage, don't talk nonsense. When did I say I would protect Uchiha Tianqi? Besides, he's missing-nin now, and has nothing to do with Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately distanced himself from Tianqi, revealing that Tianqi was missing-nin. He couldn't afford to be associated with Tianqi now, otherwise Konoha would face the wrath of the Four Great Nations simultaneously, which was absolutely unacceptable.
"Hmph! missing-nin! Who knows if Uchiha Tianqi, who attacked our Four Great Nations this time, was sent by your Konoha? I even suspect that your Konoha wants to annex our great nations and deliberately sent such a person." Ōnoki didn't hold back in Sarutobi Hiruzen was down. It was clear that he was still holding a grudge about the last attack on the village and the compensation.
Upon hearing the Tsuchikage's words, the other Kage also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with suspicion.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly rebuked Ōnoki, "Ōnoki, stop talking nonsense. You're just unhappy with the compensation I gave you a few years ago. Don't think I don't know."
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that what Uchiha Tianqi is doing has absolutely nothing to do with Konoha. Moreover, he defected, taking all his subordinates with him, and even injured me. If I wanted to annex your major countries, I wouldn't be here today!"
Of course, Ōnoki knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't possibly have any connection with Uchiha Tianqi right now. He just wanted to annoy Konoha today. "No matter what you say, Uchiha Tianqi still came from your Konoha. Your Konoha bears some responsibility. What you say is useless."
"Ōnoki, you..." Seeing Ōnoki's expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen his teeth.
Seeing that the two were getting more and more agitated, Ai stepped forward and said, "Let's have our argument after the war. Third Hokage, I want to know whether you want to join forces with us to fight against Uchiha Tianqi."
"Of course we'll join forces. I'll naturally participate in eliminating the missing-nin of the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to join forces without hesitation. If he didn't agree, judging from the attitude of the Kage, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Land of Lightning today.
"Alright, since you've all agreed to join forces, let's discuss it."
The five Kage then began discussing topics such as the number of troops to be deployed, who would be responsible for logistics, and who would command the ninjas.
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen left with a livid face, clearly indicating that he had not achieved much in this tournament, or rather, had accomplished nothing.
The village chiefs watched as Sarutobi Hiruzen left with a livid expression. They exchanged a glance and a slight smile appeared on their faces. They had deliberately suppressed Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, Konoha was strong, and the enemy this time was from Konoha. Who else would they suppress if not you?
After the Five Kage Summit concluded, each Kage returned to their village to prepare.
A month later, 40 Uchiha clan members stood in neat rows on the northern border. They didn't say a word, all standing solemnly in place, looking at their Clan Head, that invincible man.
Tianqi glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Today is the day the Five Great Shinobi Villages declare war on us. I told you all that this time we must reclaim the glory of the Uchiha and reach the pinnacle. For the sake of our clan, and to protect our families who support us, we cannot afford to lose."
"Although the enemy is strong, we are not to be trifled with. This time, we will make sure they never return, and show them the true power of the Uchiha."
"On the battlefield, I will never allow a single member of the clan to retreat. Even if you die, you must die on the path of slaying the enemy. The Uchiha does not tolerate battlefield cowards. Do you understand?"
"We understand!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Very good! Clan Head, I really like your current momentum. As long as you have this momentum, I believe you will be invincible and unbeatable!" Tianqi looked at the group of clansmen in front of him, full of confidence.
