Tianqi Appears Before Everyone
Tianqi taught Sen'u and Uzumaki Kushina day after day for three years. During these three years, their strength improved by leaps and bounds. Sen'u's strength directly reached Chunin also began to Sharingan with Two Tomoe Sharingan. Uzumaki Kushina was only a little short of that, with the strength of Elite Genin. However, this was already quite good.
The Second Shinobi World War ended two years ago, with Konoha emerging victorious. In that same year, the Cloud Ninja, under the guise of an alliance, infiltrated Konoha and kidnapped Kushina Uzumaki, who possessed special Uzumaki Kushina, with his blond Minato Namikaze, successfully rescued Uzumaki Kushina, marking the beginning of their true love story.
Sen'u and Uchiha Mikoto's relationship also progressed rapidly. Although they hadn't reached the stage of being officially engaged, they were close.
In the 45th year of Konoha, nine-year-old Sen'u was about to graduate. Graduation should have been a happy occasion, but Sen'u was not happy at all because his grandmother was old and frail and could not hold on much longer.
Tianqi also received news from Danzo that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was to be replaced, and he changed into the clothes with the Gunbai symbol that Uchiha Madara had given him.
"Are you really going, Tianqi? If you go, you might get surrounded by Konoha Ninja. Why don't you think about it carefully?" White Zetsu said with a worried look as he looked at Tianqi, who was changing his clothes.
"Tsunade isn't in the village. If I, as Mito Uzumaki Mito's grandson-in-law, can't be by her side in her final moments, that would be incredibly heartless. Besides, with Danzo as our shield, what is there to worry about?" Tianqi said calmly while straightening his clothes.
"But...".
Before White Zetsu could say anything more, Tianqi interrupted him directly, "No buts, I've already decided this and there's no going back. If you're afraid of dying, stay in the Root. I don't care if I go alone."
"Well... alright!" White Zetsu knew that Tianqi was stubborn, and once he made a decision, just like Ban, he wouldn't change it. White Zetsu hesitated for a moment but still decided to go with Tianqi.
After tidying his clothes, Tianqi headed towards the Hokage Rock. Behind the Hokage Rock was a stone cave, where the ceremony to transfer the Nine-Tails would be held.
"Halt! Who goes there?" Tianqi had just arrived at the entrance of the cave when he was stopped by two members of the Hokage's direct Anbu.
"I am Root ninja, and I have important business to discuss with Danzo!" Tianqi said calmly to the two ninjas guarding the gate.
"No matter where you are from, the Lord Hokage has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the cave today. Anyone who dares to trespass will be executed on the spot. You'd better leave immediately!"
"But I really need to see Danzo urgently, can't you make an exception?"
"I told you, no matter what happens to you, even if the sky falls, you can't go in!"
Seeing that the Anbu Ninja guarding the gate wouldn't let him in no matter what, Tianqi's lips twitched slightly. These big oafs were really strict with their guards. Sure enough, the Anbu Konoha ever defended their own people; they couldn't guard against outsiders at all!
Seeing that they were about to fight these watchdogs, and with little time left before the Nine-Tails' teleportation, Tianqi pretended to leave and used the Mayfly Technique to teleport away with White Zetsu.
As he moved through the crowd, Tianqi glanced at the guards standing watch every ten steps with disdain. No wonder Pain and Obito were able to enter Konoha so easily. With you bunch of idiots guarding it, you're completely useless.
Tianqi arrived at the location quickly. Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, and others were there. Sen'u stood sadly beside Uzumaki Mito, while Uzumaki Kushina red hair, stood nervously to the side.
"I'm not too late after all!" Tianqi, dressed in a dark blue robe, slowly emerged from the ground. He spoke calmly, reminding everyone of his arrival.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the person, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the group of Anbu Ninja immediately looked at Tianqi with vigilance. Danzo hesitated for two seconds after looking at the face, but immediately realized that this was Tianqi. Yes, Tianqi was not using his original form, but the form he used to teach Sen'u. Danzo had seen this form before.
"Master, what brings you here?" Sen'u asked, somewhat surprised, upon seeing the person who had suddenly appeared in the arena.
Tianqi didn't answer; instead, Danzo pulled him aside and questioned him in a low voice.
"What do you mean by this? Don't you know your place? Transferring the Nine-Tails is such an important event that it's not your place to participate!"
"What do you mean Danzo it's not something I can participate in? You should know what happens to the Jinchuriki after the Nine-Tails is transferred. I have no interest in your transfer of the Nine-Tails, but as a direct relative of Uzumaki Mito, can't I come to see her off on her final journey?" Tianqi retorted with a Danzo of questions to Danzo.
"This... this... it's not that I can't come to see you off, but your current identity is too sensitive. Couldn't you have discussed it with me before coming?" Danzo didn't know how to answer for a moment. It was indeed a bit unreasonable to not allow Tianqi, who was Uzumaki Mito's grandson-in-law, to come, but to just suddenly appear here like this and act so carelessly was something he had to talk to Tianqi about.
"Discuss? Okay, okay, I'll definitely discuss it with you beforehand next time, alright?" Tianqi said nonchalantly, pretending to discuss it but not really caring. Without Uzumaki Mito, who could sense malice, binding him, he could go wherever he wanted in Konoha from now on.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the person Danzo talking to him, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others put away the Kunai and greatswords they were preparing to use. As long as they weren't enemies, that was fine.
"Danzo, what's going on? You should know how important today's events are. Letting in an outsider like this is rather inappropriate. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned as he looked at Danzo. Letting in an outsider at such an important time as changing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and judging from the insignia on his clothes, he was a member of the Uchiha Clan. This Danzo was simply too reckless. What if something happens to the Nine-Tails?
"Uh... Hiruzen, let me explain, this..." Danzo didn't know how to explain for a moment, and he stammered. He hadn't figured out how to make up a story about letting other people in on such an important and confidential day.
"Alright, let me explain myself!" Tianqi patted Danzo on the shoulder, stepped forward, and looked at the Third Hokage with a face full of wrinkles, saying calmly, "Brother Sarutobi, it's been a long time."
"Hmm! Who are you?" Hearing this familiar voice and address, Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of question marks. For a moment, he couldn't remember where he had heard this familiar voice before.
