Deceived by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Others Again
Although six White Zetsu had merged into his body, Tianqi's strength hadn't increased much; he only possessed the strength of a mid- Kage Level. Seeing that his strength hadn't reached his expectations, Tianqi inwardly complained, "After merging with so many White Zetsu, my strength is only this much? What trash! White Zetsu's body is still just White Zetsu's body; it can't compare to my original body at all."
Uzumaki Mito was somewhat surprised to see the white creatures before her merge. It was strange that these creatures could increase their strength through fusion. Although she was surprised, she was only slightly surprised. With this level of strength, it still couldn't change anything!
Without the White Zetsu's Six Purple Flame Formation blocking their way, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others who were guarding outside rushed in. As soon as they entered, they saw Tianqi confronting Uzumaki Mito, and they were immediately shocked. "Tianqi! What are you doing here? Weren't you lying unconscious with serious injuries?"
"Hi, Sarutobi- nii, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and everyone else, it's been a long time!" Although Tianqi was in a bad situation at the moment, he still greeted the people of Konoha.
"It really is you, Tianqi, you..."
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were about to step forward to catch up with Tianqi, Uzumaki Mito's voice rang out, "Monkey, don't be fooled! He's not Tianqi, he's an enemy in disguise! The real Tianqi is still lying at home."
"No way, this Chakra and appearance are exactly Tianqi's, Lady Mito, you must be mistaken." Jiraiya a puzzled look after sensing the Chakra. Although the others didn't say anything, they thought the same thing. It's no wonder they were so puzzled, because the person in front of them, whether in behavior or Chakra, was exactly the same as Tianqi. It was impossible to tell that it was fake.
"Although his appearance and Chakra are almost identical to Tianqi's, I could still sense his malice. The real Tianqi doesn't have this malice. You should understand, Monkey!" Uzumaki Mito explained to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He knew very well that Uzumaki Mito could sense malice, though others might not. Moreover, this Malice Perception had never failed him. Since Uzumaki Mito said so, the person in front of him was definitely an imposter. "Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating Tianqi and infiltrating Konoha!"
Seeing that Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, didn't believe that the person in front of him was Uchiha Tianqi, everyone looked at Tianqi, wanting to see how he would explain himself.
Seeing that even Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't believe him, Tianqi smiled wryly and said, "Brother Sarutobi, why don't you believe me either? Have you forgotten the times you trained me, and the fun we had eating barbecue together? And also..."
"Huh? This..." Seeing that the person in front of him had told him everything about him and Tianqi, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also confused. There were some things that only Tianqi and he himself knew. How could this person know everything? For a moment, he wondered if Uzumaki Mito was getting old and her perception was malfunctioning.
Seeing that the person in front of them was completely right, everyone turned their attention to Uzumaki Mito. Tianqi's words were all correct, so he must be the real person. On the contrary Chakra, this Uzumaki Mito with her Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked more like a fake.
Seeing that the fake Tianqi had actually convinced Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other ninjas with his words, Uzumaki Mito was furious. Especially since the ninjas were now giving her strange looks, she became even angrier. Mito Uzumaki glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Uzumaki Mito Monkey, you believe this fake Tianqi too?"
"Lady Mito, this..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was at a loss for words. On one side was the seemingly real Tianqi who could tell him about Tianqi's past, and on the other side was Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the First Hokage and a veteran of Konoha. He didn't know who to believe, and Uzumaki Mito's golden appearance was indeed a bit strange.
"You! Monkey, you're so stupid! When have I ever lied? You don't believe me at all, you've really disappointed me!" Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, Uzumaki Mito was also very disappointed in him. He clearly believed what the fake Tianqi said. Although he only showed doubt to her for a moment, it was still caught by her super-sensory perception and detection.
"..."
Just as the conversation reached a tense climax, the group of female ninjas spoke up again, "Lord Hokage, you must believe Lady Mito's words! This person in front of us is really a fake Tianqi; we've all seen his real appearance before!"
"That's right, Lady Mito wasn't lying, this person in front of us is an imposter!"
"Yes, his true form is a person entirely white. This appearance he's in now is a transformation. Lord Hokage, please make sure you see clearly!"
"..."
After hearing the words of the female ninjas, Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more bewildered. These female ninjas were all handpicked by him to protect Tsunade. If Uzumaki Mito had a problem, did these women also have a problem? How could such a thing be possible? If he couldn't even trust them, then he really shouldn't be the Hokage. Instantly, Sarutobi Hiruzen glared angrily at Tianqi, "You've almost fooled me! Although I don't know how you know so much about me and Tianqi, a lie is a lie. So many people have identified you as a fake, so you must be a fake. From now on, I won't believe anything you say anymore!"
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Jiraiya the others, seeing this, also took out Kunai and looked at the fake Tianqi with wary expressions Uzumaki Mito nodded in agreement, thankfully she hadn't been led astray by the fake Tianqi. If even Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hokage Hokage, had been misled, she would have really considered replacing him. Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his senses at the last moment, and didn't disappoint her too much.
Seeing this, Tianqi cursed all the troublesome female ninjas in his mind. Why did these stupid female ninjas always cause trouble at the crucial moment? I was about to persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, and I was just a little bit away from success, but they ruined it again. What did I do to deserve this? Why are they always going against me?
"Heh, how about that? You didn't succeed in fooling us Konoha Ninja after all. Did you really think we Konoha Ninja were easy to fool? Let me tell you, you've got a bad idea!" Uzumaki Mito sneered, looking at Tianqi with a mocking expression.
"When the real is made to appear fake, the fake becomes real; when the fake is made to appear real, the real becomes fake. Truth and falsehood intertwine, and so does falsehood and truth. Who can truly distinguish between them?" Tianqi offered no explanation, merely stating a point about truth and falsehood. He now realized that explaining to such a fool was a complete waste of breath; he'd rather use that time to find a way to escape!
