The Truth Behind Everything, Explained

The group of ninjas were completely bewildered for a long time.

"Smack!"

"Didn't they say that Uchiha Tianqi and the vanguard perished together? How come he's still standing here perfectly fine!" Ōnoki slapped one of the surviving Iwagakure Ninja and questioned him loudly.

"This... he clearly self-destructed, so what happened?" The Iwagakure Ninja who survived the explosion was also completely bewildered.

Immediately, all the ninjas drew their Kunai and longswords, alerting Tianqi.

"Uh... I might have gone too far. Bye-bye!" After saying goodbye Tianqi activated his Kamui and left without giving Ōnoki and the Iwagakure Ninja any time to react.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the Iwagakure Ninja, but rather that with his current strength, there was no need for him to waste time with these weak ninjas.

Ōnoki and the Iwagakure Ninja watched helplessly as Uchiha Tianqi before their eyes, only reacting after he had completely vanished.

"Damn Uchiha Tianqi, does he think we don't exist? Invade the Land of Fire with the entire army! Pursue Uchiha Tianqi!" Ōnoki waved his hand and began the invasion of the Land of Fire.

Tianqi arrived at a point two kilometers in front of Sen'u and waited.

"It's really a little exciting to be with my son for the first time!" Tianqi stood there, a hint of excitement in his heart.

A short while later, Sen'u, sporting a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan and a face full of anger, arrived at the place where Tianqi was.

"Is it you, Father?" Sen'u asked, looking at the somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of her.

Why is it familiar? Because that face looks a lot like his father's. Why is it unfamiliar? Because of the white outfit and that aloof aura.

"Anger makes people lose their minds. No matter what happens, you must remain rational. A person without reason is destined to fail. Come with me!" Tianqi said calmly and walked towards Konoha without any expression.

Looking at his grown son, Tianqi was excited but didn't express it; he just walked forward on his own.

Sen'u didn't know why, but his mood calmed down at that moment, and he followed the person as if possessed.

The father and son walked quietly and leisurely, neither of them speaking, both seemingly enjoying the moment of tranquility.

"Did your mother leave Konoha with Shizune?" Tianqi finally asked after walking for a while.

"Yes, Mother was deeply disappointed with Konoha and the war due to multiple blows, so she left with Uncle Dan's niece, Shizune!" Sen'u nodded and added an explanation.

At that moment, he finally remembered who the person in front of him was. This was the person in his own basement, and also his real father.

"Is that so? I never thought Tsunade would still end up on this path. Over the years, I have felt I have done nothing wrong to anyone, but I owe your mother so much!" Tianqi shook his head, his heart filled with guilt as he thought of Tsunade.

Sen'u didn't answer immediately. He didn't want to interrupt about his parents' affairs. After thinking for a while, he said calmly, "I'm very curious about something. According to my grandmother and the village elders, you were almost invincible at your peak. If you already had invincible strength, how could you have suffered such a serious injury?"

"Well, how should I put it? I'd say it's like paying off a debt!" Tianqi said after stroking his chin for a while.

"Pay back debts? Pay back what debts?" Sen'u asked, puzzled.

"Consider this repaying a favor to your maternal grandfather. You know the relationship between the Uchiha Clan, the Senju Clan, and Konoha, right? Back then, after my father, who was also your grandfather Uchiha Madara, defected from Konoha, your maternal grandfather, Hashirama Senju, didn't hold it against him and allowed the Uchiha Clan to live in Konoha. That's a favor in itself!" Tianqi boasted on and on.

"Uh... what does this have to do with your serious injuries?" Sen'u really wasn't interested in the affairs of the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan Senju Uchiha he was independent.

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly. Back then, because of your grandfather's passing, the Uchiha Clan had no ninja capable of upholding its reputation. Even the Uchiha members with some strength sided with Konoha. After the First Hokage left and the Second Hokage took office, the Uchiha was directly driven away from the center of power in Konoha. The once top clan, the Uchiha, fell to the bottom!"

"Back then, the Uchiha was divided into two factions. One was your grandfather's loyal followers, known as the Militant Faction, and the other was the Modest Moderate Faction to bark like dogs! When I was growing in strength, I met the Militant Faction's Elder Uchiha- yang. The entire Militant Faction and he supported me, and even pushed me to the position of Clan Head. In order to restore the glory of the Uchiha, I led dozens of Jonin from Jonin clan and directly started the Second Shinobi World War, while simultaneously challenging the ninjas of the Five Great Nations!" Tianqi was furious as he spoke. If it weren't for Konoha, that troublemaker, he would have succeeded back then.

"Jonin to challenge the Five Great Nations with only dozens of Jonin!!!" Sen'u was shocked when he heard this. It felt like he was listening to a myth. Wasn't the Second Shinobi World War started by Hanzo of Amegakure?

"Back then, I was just one step away from success when I swept through the Five Great Nations. Only your maternal grandfather, Hashirama Senju, could exchange a few blows with me. However, even your grandfather, who was once hailed as the God of Shinobi World, was powerless against me when I unleashed the ultimate power of the Uchiha. I even wiped out the existence of the Five Great Villages. But then an accident happened, and it was this accident that made me abandon my final mission!" Tianqi turned his head and glanced at Sen'u.

"An accident? What kind of accident could make someone give up on something like this? Has an even stronger opponent appeared?" Sen'u asked with a puzzled look, now completely captivated by the story.

"It wasn't a powerful opponent; that person was you. At the time, when my strength was at its peak, I used my powerful senses to discover your presence. Your presence brought the Uchiha and Senju, who were originally enemies, together, allowing the two opposing sides to connect. It was also because of your existence that I put aside my prejudice against your maternal grandfather. To repay your grandfather's kindness in taking me in, I used powerful techniques to restore the Five Great Shinobi Villages that I had urged to reclaim, and to revive those who were killed in the war. In order to prevent my descendants from becoming a thorn in the side of the Five Great Nations, I even extracted everyone's war memories. So, people now should not remember that I once launched the Second Shinobi World War!" Tianqi finished explaining the whole story in one breath.

"So it was because of me that you gave up your long-pursued goal: restoring the ninja village, reviving the dead, and extracting memories. Such a heaven-defying technique must have come at a great price!" After understanding the situation, Sen'u could roughly guess why the father in front of her was so badly injured.

"Of course, there is no perfect technique in this world. The degree to which a technique is extraordinary determines the magnitude of its cost. I thought I would die immediately after casting such a powerful technique, but I didn't expect to survive in the end. Perhaps this is the favor that heaven has shown me!" To be honest, he hadn't thought he would survive at the time. Tianqi was also filled with emotion at this moment.
