Uchiha Ōnoki Chased After Him
"With such extraordinary abilities, it's no wonder you survived. It has nothing to do with anything beyond heaven!" Sen'u said earnestly, wondering why her father seemed to lean towards theology. It was really strange.
"Perhaps it really has nothing to do with fate, it's just that my life wasn't meant to end!" Tianqi nodded, very satisfied to see that his son was so sensible and didn't blindly side with anyone.
"Um, can I ask you something?" Sen'u asked hesitantly.
"Ask me any questions you have, and I'll tell you the truth as long as I know the answer!" Tianqi looked at his son with some curiosity. He was genuinely interested in what questions his son might ask, since it was the first time his son had asked him such a question, and he wanted to answer whatever it was.
"Okay, I want to know what happened to the other father? Is he already...?" Sen'u asked the question he most wanted to ask.
So that's what it was. I thought Sen'u wanted to ask something else. It seems that the consciousness entity holds a very important place in Sen'u's heart.
Tianqi remained silent. The black Truth-Seeking Orb behind him transformed into a scepter and landed in his hand. Grasping the scepter, Tianqi gently tapped the ground, and a light screen appeared, showing the final state of the consciousness before Sen'u.
Sen'u stared intently at his father, with whom he had lived for so many years, in his final moments. He didn't want to miss a single detail, and soon the entire process was over.
"Father!" Sen'u shed tears of reluctance and gratitude. He never expected that his father would still care about him in his final moments. His words, "My love for Sen'u has never disappeared!" touched him deeply.
After putting away the black scepter, Tianqi patted Sen'u on the shoulder and said, "He has developed his own consciousness and could have separated from me to become an independent individual, but he chose to disappear for your sake. This behavior is truly noble. Sen'u, remember his face and everything about him, and never forget him!"
"Yes, I will always remember everything he did for me!" Sen'u wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze more resolute than ever before.
Looking at Tianqi, Sen'u had such a good relationship with the consciousness, Tianqi didn't know what to say for a moment. The consciousness was him, but he wasn't the consciousness. It was all so contradictory.
"Sen'u actually... um!" Just as Tianqi was about to say something, he suddenly sensed a lot of Chakra reactions moving rapidly in this direction.
"Father, what's wrong?" Seeing his white-haired father, dressed in white, suddenly stop talking and just stare at the woods behind him, Sen'u turned his head but saw nothing and sensed nothing. He was very puzzled.
"Oh, it's those..." Tianqi was about to explain when he suddenly realized that Sen'u had called him father for the first time. He was stunned for a couple of seconds. Having received the memories of the consciousness body, he was already used to Sen'u calling him father, and for a moment he really didn't react. At the same time, he was also very gratified. It seemed that Sen'u still recognized him as her father.
"It's the Tsuchikage Ōnoki leading a large number of Iwagakure Ninja, approaching this place. They're about a hundred kilometers away!" Tianqi said calmly, as if it were a trivial matter.
"About a hundred kilometers? Your perception is truly powerful. There are a lot of Iwagakure Ninja here this time, we should retreat quickly!" While marveling at the powerful perception, Sen'u, having regained her composure, made the right choice.
Tianqi nodded in response to Sen'u's suggestion, but then shook his head and said, "If it were you and the other ninjas facing tens of thousands of ninjas, retreating would indeed be the best option. However, you're with me now, so you don't need to worry about these Iwagakure Ninja at all. I don't even consider them a threat!"
Seeing his father speak so confidently, Sen'u, who had never personally witnessed his strength, was still somewhat skeptical. He quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Father, I know you are powerful, but you have only just awakened, so your strength shouldn't be fully recovered yet. Why don't we just let it go this time?"
Despite his strength surging to the level of a Kage, Sen'u didn't become arrogant enough to face tens of thousands of Iwagakure Ninja. At this moment, he understood that he must always maintain sufficient rationality.
"My strength has indeed only recovered to half, but dealing with tens of thousands of ninjas is still quite easy. Sen'u, what do you think is the true power of the Uchiha?" While underestimating those ninjas, Tianqi also raised the ultimate question of the Uchiha Clan.
"Hmm, I think it should be eyes!" After thinking for a while, Sen'u remembered the Mangekyō Sharingan he had just acquired, and immediately said it was eyes.
"Yes, that's right! What truly makes us Uchiha so powerful is our eyes. Once we activate that Dōjutsu, we can gain unparalleled power!" Tianqi became proud as he spoke of the Sharingan. His eyes were not only the source of the Uchiha's power, but also his own.
Sen'u assumed his father was referring to the Mangekyō Sharingan he had awakened, and he immediately frowned, saying, "I admit that power is indeed strong, but it's not strong enough to fight against tens of thousands of ninjas. Besides, you only have half of your power now, so I still think it's better to retreat."
"Hehe, Sen'u, you have no idea how much power these eyes of mine hold. The power that can be unleashed by the Sage Body combined with these Immortal Eyes is beyond your imagination. Today, I'll show you my strength!" Seeing that his son didn't believe in his strength, Tianqi chuckled. Today, he had to let his child know just how powerful he really was.
"Well, sigh, alright!" Seeing that the father in front of him was just as stubborn as his previous father, Sen'u had no choice but to compromise. Anyway, with his current strength that surpassed the Kage Level, it wouldn't be a problem to safely evacuate his father.
The two remained silent, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Iwagakure Ninja army. Tianqi wanted to demonstrate his strength, while Sen'u was filled with worry.
Half an hour later, the Iwagakure Ninja army finally appeared in front of Tianqi and Sen'u in a grand procession, and the two were instantly surrounded by Iwagakure Ninja.
Looking at the densely packed Iwagakure Ninja, Chiba unconsciously swallowed. This was the first time he had ever seen such a scene of Sen'u thousand ninjas, so it was normal to be a little scared.
"Run, Uchiha Tianqi! Let's see where you can run this time!" Ōnoki stepped out from the crowd, looking at Uchiha Tianqi with a smug expression.
"Hehe, Ōnoki, you're getting more and more arrogant. Do you think you can stop me from leaving? Besides, you're the village's leader, is it really okay for you to personally go to the front lines like this?" Tianqi shrugged and said with a relaxed expression.
