Uchiha Tianqi Recklessly Provokes the Three

Tianqi watched the beautiful woman's figure disappear amidst the flying rocks, secretly pleased for Tsunade. "I thought you wouldn't be able to complete this technique all these years. Well done, Tsunade."

He stared at Tsunade without any outward expression.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, rocks and thorns fell, kicking up a cloud of dust. The twenty-meter-long Thorn Forest disappeared, leaving the surrounding area a barren wasteland.

Tianqi appeared before everyone. Seeing the enemy, they gripped their weapons tightly, ready to attack at any moment.

Tsunade stared at Tianqi. Today, Tianqi looked incredibly handsome in his dark red armor, and his flowing black hair added to his imposing presence. However, she had no time to appreciate it and walked towards Tianqi step by step.

"Tsunade, don't go over there. Tianqi has changed. He's an enemy now," Jiraiya tried to persuade Tsunade as she walked toward Tianqi.

Orochimaru stopped Jiraiya, shaking his head. "Jiraiya, let her go. Without understanding the real reason, she won't be able to untangle the knot in her heart."

"But... what if Tianqi goes berserk and really attacks her?"

"I believe he won't," Orochimaru said, glancing at Tianqi's side. His gaze fell on the nine dark red figures with tails lying on the ground. What kind of monsters were they?

As Tsunade walked towards him step by step, Tianqi felt extremely flustered. If he could, he really didn't want to face Tsunade, but Tsunade happened to be on the front line, which forced him to show himself to face her. If Tsunade wasn't there, he could easily defeat these ninjas with the power of the Tailed Beast.

Finally, all he needed to do was focus on dealing with the resurrected Hashirama Senju, but Tsunade's appearance was somewhat interfering with his progress.

Tsunade stopped when she was five meters away from Tianqi.

Seeing Tsunade stop, Jiraiya and Orochimaru quickly came to her side, while the other ninjas moved forward ten meters, ten meters away from Uchiha Tianqi.

"Tianqi, tell me, why did you defect from the village? Why did you start a war? Aren't you the one who loves peace the most? Tell me why, why!!!" Tsunade looked at Tianqi angrily.

"Hahaha, peace? Defection? I, Uchiha Tianqi, am a human being, bearing the responsibility of reviving the Uchiha Clan. I can never bring back the glory of the Uchiha while I am in the village."

"Only by leaving the village can the Uchiha Clan truly become strong. Peace is just an excuse I use to deceive you. I don't like Konoha at all," Tianqi said with a crazed expression.

"What about me? What do you take me for? Tianqi, I know you're just acting on impulse. Don't make the same mistake again. Why don't we go back to the village and continue living an ordinary life? Come back with me, Tianqi." Seeing how crazy Tianqi, Tsunade's tone softened.

She reached out her hand, trying to Rotation. She couldn't believe that her once gentle husband could be such a crazy person; he must have just acted on impulse.

"Hmph, Tsunade, don't be naive. You're from the Senju Clan, and I'm from the Uchiha Clan. We've been enemies for generations. My marriage to you was just to lull Konoha into a false sense of security. Do you really think I like you? Don't be silly. You've always been nothing more than a tool."

After saying this, Tianqi felt a pang of heartache. He thought to himself, "Tsunade, don't be fooled by me. You must be strong."

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense! Tianqi isn't that kind of person! You can't be Tianqi, you can't be! I won't believe you! This is Genjutsu! This is Genjutsu!" She shook her head, refusing to believe that Tianqi would say such a thing, and she was still trying to numb herself.

"Haha, I'll do anything for the Uchiha Clan! After so many years of hard work, this time I'm going to wipe out all you ninjas and restore the glory of the Uchiha! I'll become the second God of Shinobi! Hahahahahaha!"

Tianqi forced himself to remain calm. At this moment, he felt incredibly sorry for Tsunade, but he couldn't show it. He could only spout nonsense about restoring the glory of the Uchiha, and he didn't dare to look at Tsunade.

"Uchiha Tianqi, you bastard, do you know what you're saying? How could you say such hurtful things? Are you still the Uchiha Tianqi I know?!" Seeing that Tsunade was about to break down because of Tianqi's words, Jiraiya stepped forward.

"Heh, how could a commoner ninja like you understand my grand ideal of reviving the Uchiha? You and Orochimaru are just a spice in my boring life. I don't care about your feelings at all," Tianqi chuckled, trying to provoke the others' anger.

Orochimaru looked at Tianqi. Unlike Tsunade Jiraiya, he noticed a hint of helplessness on Tianqi's face. He knew that Tianqi was lying and had other motives, so he remained silent.

"You damned bastard, I'll teach you a lesson today!" Jiraiya gathered Chakra, and the Rasengan appeared in his hand. He charged towards Tianqi.

"Rasengan!" Jiraiya aimed at Tianqi and unleashed the Rasengan.

"Whoosh!" Tianqi accelerated and grabbed Jiraiya's hand Jiraiya he released the Rasengan. "Trying to teach me a lesson with the Ninjutsu I taught you? Jiraiya, but you're even more Tsunade."

"Go!" Tianqi released his grip Jiraiya away.

"Jiraiya!" Tsunade out of her daze when she saw Jiraiya being kicked away.

Orochimaru cursed "idiot!" and used his Body Flicker Technique to catch Jiraiya. "You idiot, don't charge in alone! Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I just couldn't help myself when I heard what that guy said," Jiraiya and brushing the footprint off his body.

"Tianqi, you've changed. You're no longer the Tianqi I used to know. I never imagined you'd become like this. Have you forgotten the Will of Fire?" Tsunade clenched her fists. The kick that sent her teammate flying also woke her up. She vowed to bring Tianqi back and find out the reason herself. Her husband was definitely not that kind of person. Something must have influenced him.

"The Will of Fire? Heh, that's just brainwashing stuff the Konoha High Command use on you. I only have the Will of the Uchiha."

"Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, if you're still so naive, you'll be leaving your lives here in the next second. Don't believe me? Just try it," Tianqi continued to provoke them.

"Tianqi, I will personally bring you back. I want you to tell me that all of this is a lie." Tsunade's gaze became unwavering at this moment. No matter what Tianqi said, she wouldn't care. She was determined to bring Tianqi back to the village.

"That's right, Uchiha Tianqi, there are so many of us, we're going to defeat you, you bastard, just you wait!" Jiraiya and Tsunade stood in a row.

"Tianqi, I'm sorry, but we are enemies. I won't hold back this time either," Orochimaru stepped forward.

The three stood in a row, their eyes fixed on Tianqi.
