Tianqi Meets the Three Little Ones for the First Time

"Naruto, stop talking! Can't you see Kakashi-sensei looks terrible?" Sakura stopped Naruto while also mentioning Kakashi.

Kakashi inwardly scoffed, "Why bring me into Naruto when you can just mention Naruto? It's embarrassing for me, the team leader."

"If things look bad later, you guys take Tazuna and run. I might not be able to protect you this time. Remember, run as fast as you can and don't look back!"

"Kakashi-sensei, why should we run? With you, Jonin, and us here, what are we afraid of? If they dare to harm us, we'll just beat them up!" Naruto waved his fists nonchalantly, looking like he wasn't afraid of anyone.

"Idiot!" Sasuke said calmly.

"What did you say about Sasuke? How am I an idiot? We're Konoha Ninja, why should we be afraid..."

Seeing the two kids about to bicker again, Kakashi said seriously, "Enough. I'm not joking this time. The opponent is constantly releasing an invisible pressure on me. I've never felt such terrifying pressure from the Lord Hokage. The opponent is at least a Kage Level powerhouse. The only thing I can do is stop him. You two must escape as fast as you can, understand?"

"Hehe, your analysis makes a lot of sense, but do you think you can stop me?" Tianqi put his hands behind his back and slowly flew down from the ship.

Kakashi saw that the person had finally arrived. He quickly pushed up his Forehead Protector to reveal the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his right eye, and held a Kunai in each hand, as if only doing so could bring him a sense of security.

Tianqi glanced around at the group and said calmly, "A Jonin leading four burdens, what a terrible combination!"

"Who are you and what do you want? We are Konoha ninjas, you better not mess around!" Kakashi shielded the three children behind him, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

"Heh, Konoha Ninja? Sorry, that identity can't protect you. Konoha is nothing to me. Just accept your fate!" Tianqi raised his hand, ready to attack.

However, just as Tianqi was about to play around with them, Tsunade and the other two stepped off the ship and loudly called for Tianqi to stop.

"What are you doing? You're still attacking? Are you crazy?!" Tsunade shouted at Tianqi to stop.

Upon hearing this, Tianqi slowly lowered his hand, and Kakashi, who was preparing to let the three little ones escape, also stopped.

Sasuke froze on the spot when he saw the person who had appeared. This woman looked exactly like the person in the photo at his house, which meant that this person was...

Tsunade approached Tianqi and said with a displeased expression, "What are you doing? You want to attack these children? Are you out of your mind? If you are, go get it treated!"

"I just wanted to scare them a little, is it really necessary to curse me like that?" Tianqi shrugged, looking helpless.

"If you want to scare someone, go scare someone else. Don't try this on my grandson!" After reprimanding Tianqi, Tsunade looked at her grandson in front of her and called out his name gently, "Sasuke, come here!"

"Little Sasuke??" Naruto and Sakura looked at Sasuke with puzzled expressions upon hearing him call him "Little Sasuke, "Sasuke and even Kakashi gave Sasuke a strange look.

"Yes, Tsunade?" Sasuke asked uncertainly as he stepped forward.

"Grandma?" Naruto and Sakura were completely bewildered when they heard Sasuke call her grandma. Sasuke has a grandma? They'd never heard of that before.

Kakashi, unlike the other two, had heard of Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin. Seeing that she was not an enemy, he put away his Kunai and pulled his Forehead Protector down again.

"It's me, Sasuke!"

"Tsunade!!" Upon hearing the confirmation, Sasuke had no doubts and rushed over immediately. Seeing his family again caused a huge emotional surge.

Holding her grandson, Tsunade stroked Sasuke's head tenderly, her face full of affection, and said gently, "Good boy, good boy, Grandma knows you've suffered a lot. Don't worry, as long as Grandma is here, I will definitely protect you!"

"Grandma, you don't know, you don't know, Itachi, Itachi..." Sasuke broke free from his grandmother's embrace, his voice still trembling.

"Alright, alright, Sasuke, you don't need to say anything more. Grandma knows about Itachi's situation, and I understand how you feel!" Tsunade stroked Sasuke's head, her face full of affection. Knowing the truth but not being able to tell Sasuke was truly agonizing.

"Grandma, you must avenge Mom and Dad! It was Itachi who did it, Itachi..."

"Shut up!!!" Itachi, the Tianqi, couldn't stand it anymore and directly reprimanded Sasuke.

"Who are you? I'm talking to my grandma, what's it to you!" Sasuke was very annoyed at being interrupted, and with his grandma backing him up, he immediately retorted.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? Let your grandma tell you whether I have the right to interrupt you or not!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately looked at his grandmother with a puzzled expression, his eyes questioning the truth of her words.

"Alright, Sasuke, your grandpa told you to be quiet, so just say less and don't make grandpa angry, okay?"

"Grandpa!" This time, not only were the two children shocked, but Kakashi's eyes also widened. Sasuke ruthless man, was actually him! No wonder, no wonder he had such a commanding presence.

"Is he my grandfather?" Sasuke looked at the young-looking man; no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like someone of his grandfather's generation.

Tianqi looked at his grandson, who was still somewhat suspicious. He was both angry and amused. His grandson recognized his grandmother but not his grandfather. What kind of situation was this?

"What are you looking at? If your grandma has confirmed it, how could I be fake? You really have no sense at all!" After Sasuke a disdainful look, Tianqi slowly walked towards the white-haired Kakashi.

"Tianqi!" Upon seeing Tianqi approach, Kakashi immediately knelt on one knee to express his respect.

"Don't give me that, I'm not buying it!" Seeing Kakashi's respectful attitude, Tianqi also acted as if he were a very casual person.

Kakashi scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed. He had intended to express his respect, but Tianqi's sudden remark made him a little awkward.

Tianqi turned his gaze to the two little ones behind Kakashi and said with a smile, "My name is Uchiha Tianqi, hello there!"

"Um..., my Sakura Haruno, nice to meet you!" Sakura was a little shy in front of Sasuke's grandfather.

"Hello!" Tianqi nodded with a smile.

"It's my turn! It's my turn! My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to be the Hokage!" Before Tianqi could even look at him, Naruto quickly blurted out his name and dream.

"The man who Hokage? That's a very good ideal!" Tianqi nodded with a smile, without offering any further comment.
