The Father-Son Standoff Between Zhan and Kong
When Tianqi brought Karin back to Konoha, Sasuke faced Naruto and Kakashi again, while Obito went to the Four Kage to announce his Eye of the Moon Plan.
Upon hearing about this inhumane plan and Uchiha Madara's identity, the Four Kage decisively chose to unite.
After returning to Konoha, Tianqi found Tsunade, who had been reinstated Hokage Position.
"Oh, you're back from the talks. How did it go? Everything went smoothly?"
"It wasn't exactly smooth sailing, but everything was as expected. Take a look at this!" Tianqi said, taking out Danzo's corpse.
"This is Danzo! Good, good! Uchiha Tianqi, how dare you confront Konoha elder! You're dead this time!"
"Don't spout nonsense about him being dead. Danzo was surrounded by Akatsuki and ended up killing himself. It has nothing to do with me. I did a good deed by retrieving his body!"
"Have done a good deed? What good deed have you done? You accompanied Danzo to the Five Kage Summit Danzo, and he still died despite your protection. Do you dare say you did a good deed?" Tsunade squinted at Tianqi, clearly not believing a word he said.
"I admit I failed in my duty this time, but I believe everything will be better in Konoha without Konoha as the Danzo. Anyway, I've given you Danzo's body; you can do whatever you want with it!"
"Hehe, aren't you going to explain the little girl you brought back?" Tsunade asked, looking at the red-haired girl behind Tianqi.
"Her name is Karin Uzumaki, and she's one of the outer members of the Akatsuki that attacked Danzo!"
"Uzumaki? You're from the Uzumaki Clan of the Land of Whirlpools?" Tsunade was quite surprised to hear the surname Uzumaki. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed true; those red hairs were truly striking.
"Never mind whether she's from the Land of Whirlpools or not, just lock her up in any cell. I'm leaving this person Danzo to you. I have to go back to my clan for a bit and will be back tomorrow. Don't wait for me for dinner today!" With that, Tianqi left.
Watching Tianqi leave like that, Tsunade was speechless. She had never seen a manager so irresponsible, abandoning a corpse and a person and just walking away.
After inquiring about Karin's situation, Tsunade didn't make things difficult for her. Following Tianqi's instructions, she found an ordinary cell and locked Karin up. After dealing with Karin's matter, Tsunade also announced the passing of Konoha Elder Shimura Danzō. After briefly handling Danzo's matter, Tsunade also took over the Root members.
Of course, some of the dirt on Root also surfaced with Danzo's death. Tsunade dealt with this dirt in a cold way, letting it go with Danzo since he was dead.
After returning to the Uchiha Clan's territory, Tianqi immediately convened a meeting with the clan's high-ranking members.
Uchiha Kong, seated in the main seat, calmly asked, "Former Clan Head, everyone is here; may we begin the meeting?"
"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll briefly explain the situation. The Shinobi World outside is starting to get a bit chaotic because the Akatsuki captured seven Tailed Beasts. I believe that several major powers will soon be joining Akatsuki!"
"There are still some things I'm puzzled about, former clan leader. According to our information, the mastermind behind Akatsuki seems to be Lord Madara. After all, we don't have Lord Madara's body... What do you think of this news, former Clan Head?" Zhan interjected.
"Regarding Elder Zhan's doubts, I can tell you with certainty that Uchiha Madara is dead, that's beyond doubt. However, the mastermind behind the Akatsuki is also inextricably linked to Uchiha Madara, but that's not the focus of our discussion. There's no need to worry about that poor guy!"
"My lord, what is the purpose of summoning us this time?" Uchiha Feng asked with a puzzled look.
"I anticipate that the Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin, and this is also a great opportunity for the Uchiha to re-emerge in the Shinobi World. I would like to hear your thoughts. Sora, tell me your ideas!" Tianqi said, looking at Uchiha Kong in the main seat.
"This..." Kong Yi fell silent when faced with this question. Of course, he wanted to return to the Shinobi World and make his clan's name known again, but the dangers outside were extraordinary. He had to consider the fate of the Moderate Faction. If his decision led to the destruction of his clan, he would truly be a sinner for all time.
Seeing his son fall silent, Zhan understood his concerns. Zhan slowly stood up and said, "Our Uchiha Clan has been dormant for so long, it's time to go out and let the people of the Shinobi World know our strength. Although we can re-emerge from the Shinobi World, my idea is that the clan's territory must remain here. This is our foundation, we cannot leave. Clan Head, what do you think?"
"Elder Zhan is right, but if we are exposed, there's a good chance some people will have their eyes on us. Once we're being watched, I'm afraid..."
"Hmph! What's there to be afraid of? If they dare to covet our Uchiha, we'll show them what the threat of death is. Being afraid of this and that isn't the Uchiha style!" As the main warrior, Zhan was clearly displeased with his son's indecisiveness.
"Elder Zhan! Blindly advocating war will only lead the Uchiha into a desperate situation. I hope you can consider things from the clan's perspective!"
"What dead end? The Uchiha has always thrived in dire situations and sought breakthroughs in adversity. Pressure is the driving force; continuing in such a stable and peaceful manner will only lead the clan downhill!"
Seeing the father and son locked in a standoff over his simple question, Tianqi slowly stood up and said, "Alright, this is a family meeting. What kind of behavior is this? Sit down!"
With Tianqi's words, Zhan and Kong took a deep breath and sat back down.
"Let me say something fair. Elder Zhan is right. Adversity rebirth is indeed very suitable for our Uchiha Clan Head, is also correct. I believe you are already a qualified Clan Head because you can think about the long-term future of the clan. I believe you know in your hearts how to make the final decision!"
At this Tianqi paused, looked at the clansmen sitting together, and said solemnly, "The arrival of this great war has brought our long-term training to a close, and this outcome also means that my path in this world Uchiha Tianqi, has come to an end..."
"The end? What do you mean by that, Lord Zhan? How could your path possibly have an end? This..." Upon hearing Tianqi's words, Zhan stood up again, his face filled with excitement.
"My journey in this world has come to an end. Seeing my family prosper and my descendants flourish, I have completed all my tasks in this world, and it is time for me to leave!"
