Uchiha Tianqi Begins Deploying His Forces
"Help the Masked Man deal with you? Don't give me that nonsense. If I really had to choose between you and the Masked Man, I would only choose you. Don't overthink it!" Tianqi shook his head and said calmly. Although he had his own secrets, he would never help outsiders.
"Alright, I can still believe you on this point. Tell me the information you've gathered. Who exactly dares to cooperate with the Masked Man against the Allied Shinobi Forces?" Tsunade chose to trust her husband, Tianqi, since he wouldn't harm her or her people. So why couldn't she believe him?
"You know this guy too? He's Kabuto Yakushi Kabuto, one of Orochimaru's subordinates. Ever since he mastered the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, he's been digging up corpses everywhere. I reckon he already has an army of Impure World Reincarnation under his command!"
"Kabuto? So it was that guy! How dare he cause trouble with that Masked Man! It's outrageous!" Tsunade was furious when she thought of the timid, bespectacled Kabuto from back then.
"According to you, Tianqi, does this mean that we will not only face the attack of the White Zetsu army, but also possibly those powerful elders who have been dead for a long time?"
"Shikaku is not just likely, he's definitely going to face him. Kabuto has invaded every village in the Shinobi World one by one in order to find information on the Impure World Reincarnation technique. This time, he'll not only be dealing with those powerful ninjas who have died, but also with the former Kage. We need to make plans early!"
Upon hearing that they would not only face the fallen powerhouses but also possibly the Kage, A, Ōnoki, and the others frowned deeply. Previously, their village had experienced similar incidents of graves being dug up, with several Kage's graves being opened. According to Uchiha Tianqi's intelligence, this time they feared they would be facing these ancestors.
"Tianqi, since you know about Kabuto's Impure World Reincarnation, can you undo this technique?"
"Kabuto's Impure World Reincarnation has been improved. The only way to completely undo this technique is to find Kabuto himself!" Tianqi shook his head and told a little white lie. Don't make up stories about helping them undo the Impure World Reincarnation.
"Kabuto must have hidden himself well a long time ago. There's no way we can find him anytime soon. It seems we have no choice but to figure out how to deal with those summoned people. Hmm..." Shikaku stroked his chin, pondering how to respond.
However, just as everyone was figuring out how to deal with the enemy who hadn't yet appeared, another piece of bad news arrived.
"It's terrible, sirs! Naruto Uzumaki Killer B have broken through the barrier and are getting closer and closer!" Inoichi Yamanaka, who was in charge of coordinating the entire army, shouted.
"What! The situation was already bad enough, and now they dare to come out and cause trouble! Tsunade, come with me to stop them!" A shouted and ran out first.
"Old man Tsuchikage, Tianqi, you two watch over things here for now, we'll be right back!" After saying that, Tsunade followed A to stop the two Jinchuriki.
Tianqi watched the two rush out, a slight smile playing on his lips. He muttered, "They've arrived. The main event is here. The great battle is finally about to begin!"
Seeing Tianqi's smiling face and recalling his previous words, Shikaku immediately understood. He tentatively asked, "Tianqi, may I ask if the person you mentioned who can sense malice in the future is Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Heh, that's right, it's him. The boy who can summon Nine Tailed Beasts has arrived! Our savior has come, it's time for us to move! Ye! Gu! Pass on my orders for the troops to assemble at the base!"
"Yes!!" Upon receiving the order, Uchiha Ye and Uchiha vanished in a Body Flicker Technique.
"Uchiha Tianqi, what are you trying to do!" Ōnoki looked at Uchiha Tianqi with a wary expression as he saw him start mobilizing troops.
Shikaku, Inoichi others looked at Tianqi with confusion, wondering what he was going to do.
"Why should I Uchiha Tianqi, explain my actions to an old geezer like you!" Tianqi said, gesturing to the two Anbu beside him.
Sen'u and Itachi instantly realized there was no need to hide anymore. They quickly tore off their Anbu uniforms and masks, revealing their Uchiha clothes with the Gunbai symbol and their true selves.
"Uchiha Sen'u! And Uchiha Itachi! How is this possible? You should be dead already! How could this be?!" Seeing two more top-tier Uchiha warriors suddenly appear, Ōnoki took several steps back in terror, only stopping when he was against the wall.
"Hmph, old man Ōnoki, you're not dead yet, how could I possibly be? I advise you to stay put and watch. You have no right to interfere with my father's actions!" Sen'u said threateningly, holding a long sword. He had long been disgusted by the old man's daring to speak ill of his father.
"Yes!" Itachi didn't say much, but he narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Ōnoki. It was clear that Ōnoki's disrespectful behavior also displeased Itachi.
The Third Hokage powerful members of the Uchiha Ōnoki, knowing he had no chance, instantly cowered and stood silently to the side.
"Sen'u, is it really you who has returned?" Shikaku was also extremely excited to see the once-famous figure return.
"Hahaha... Shikaku didn't expect this, did you? I, Uchiha Sen'u, am back! Hahaha..." Sen'u was overjoyed to finally be able to reveal her true form again.
"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! Everything is so much better now that you're back!"
"Yes, Lord Sen'u, we are all very happy to see you back!" Inoichi Yamanaka was also very happy, and the water sphere he sensed was rippling with excitement.
This also shows that although Sen'u was often used as a pawn in Konoha, he was still quite popular.
"Inoichi, don't get agitated. Stay calm and use your sensory water sphere to carefully assess the battlefield!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Although Sen'u was happy that Shikaku had returned, he gave Itachi a strange look when he saw that the missing-nin Uchiha Itachi had also returned, but didn't say anything more.
Seeing the strange looks everyone was giving Itachi, Tianqi knew what they were thinking. He explained calmly, "Don't have any prejudice against Itachi. The reason Itachi defected from the village and joined Akatsuki was simply because he accepted the Third Hokage's mission to infiltrate the Akatsuki!"
"I see. Welcome back, Uchiha Itachi!" Shikaku said with a slight welcome. He didn't doubt the truthfulness of Tianqi's words, nor did he have the ability to do so.
"Thank you!" Itachi nodded slightly.
"Alright, enough with the small talk. Shikaku, continue to observe the battle situation and formulate a strategy. I've already sent someone to bring my troops over to prepare for the upcoming Impure World Reincarnation forces. You must come up with the best strategy!" Tianqi said with a serious expression.
"No problem, Tianqi, leave it to me!" Hearing that Tianqi had mobilized manpower to provide support, Shikaku's heavy heart immediately relaxed, and he smiled.
