"Do you really want to die that badly?" Tianqi asked Tsunade with a squinting smile.
"Tianqi! You're dead too? I can't believe we both died!" Seeing Tianqi, Tsunade assumed he was dead as well. She threw her arms around him.
"Uh... Take a good look around. We're not dead yet." Tianqi awkwardly said as Tsunade hugged him.
"Hm? We're not dead?" Tsunade looked around. They were still at the battlefield where they'd just fought, and Jiraiya and Orochimaru were watching her.
"So we really are alive. Ah!" Realizing she was still hugging Tianqi, Tsunade cried out and jumped away, blushing.
Tianqi awkwardly rubbed his nose. "You all did well. Leave the rest to me."
The few nobodies saw another person appear and warily turned to face Tianqi.
"Heh. A bunch of amateurs." Tianqi looked at the ninjas and laughed disdainfully. Then he formed Hand Seals. "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"
Four fire dragons erupted from Tianqi's mouth, attacking the group of nobodies from above, below, left, and right. The technique had an almost perfect hit rate and was similar to Sasuke Uchiha's Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique.
In an instant, every nobody on the battlefield was wiped out. As for the ninja who'd launched a sneak attack, Tianqi took him out with a single slash. The attacker hadn't even had time to react.
Afterward, Tianqi's Shadow Clone led Tang He and the others to rescue the people of the Land of Hot Water who'd been dragged off to work as laborers. Tang He arranged for Tsunade and the others to recover in a room.
Tianqi himself continued hunting down the fleeing ninjas. He wouldn't stop until he heard the system's mission-complete notification.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!" Tianqi used Chidori to take out the last man, and at last, the system's voice rang out.
Ding! Congratulations, host. You have completed the mission and received 300,000 Points and one opportunity to upgrade your Sharingan.
Seeing that he now had 314,000 Points, Tianqi immediately spent 200,000 on the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, and 100,000 on the Six-Tails, Saiken.
"Now all that's left is the Seven-Tails, Chomei. Once the system gives me missions during the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, I can collect everything I need and secure my place as the strongest in the Shinobi World. Those Six Paths Otsutsuki Clan members are all a bunch of weaklings." Thinking this, Tianqi smiled.
"First, I'll upgrade my Sharingan." Tianqi tapped the Sharingan upgrade option in the system. A beam of white light flew into his eyes, and an immense ocular power filled his mind.
The massive ocular power clashed within him, making Tianqi's head spin. Clutching his dizzy head, he collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it, why am I so dizzy? I didn't expect the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular power to be this strong."
As Tianqi lay on the ground, dizzy, his Shadow Clone in the distance vanished with a pop.
"Huh? Where did Big Brother Tianqi go?" Jiraiya asked curiously, looking at the Tianqi who'd just been tending to them.
"He must have been a Shadow Clone. I can't believe the incredibly powerful Tianqi who's been with us this whole time was only a clone." Orochimaru stared at the vanished Tianqi, deeply shaken. "If a clone is this strong, just how powerful is Uchiha Tianqi?"
"He really is amazing. Grandma Mito was right about Tianqi being so strong." Tsunade sighed as she watched Tianqi disappear. Then she remembered hugging him earlier, and her face flushed again.
Meanwhile, the dizzy Tianqi got back to his feet. The clone's memories had also returned to him. "I can't believe Tsunade and the others got injured. As their captain, that makes me look terrible. I couldn't even protect my own subordinates. Damn you, Ōnoki—it's all because of you. This time, I'm going to teach you a lesson and make sure you learn to behave."
"Let's test the Eternal Mangekyo's power."
Tianqi blinked. The Three-Tomoe appeared in his eyes and began to spin, transforming into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Lines appeared around the original five-pointed pinwheel pattern, connecting its points.
"Susanoo!" Tianqi roared.
Blue energy poured out around him, and he slowly rose into the air as a gigantic skeleton began to take shape. Tianqi stopped in the middle of its rib cage.
"The first form is complete. Now for the second form." Tianqi slowly poured in more Chakra.
Muscle and flesh began to grow over the skeleton, which was then covered by a robe-like layer. The skeleton disappeared completely. Another face grew from the back of its head, and two more arms sprouted alongside its original pair.
"The second form is complete. Next..." Tianqi unleashed his immense Chakra.
The giant Susanoo slowly donned the Karasu Tengu Armor. Two of its hands were empty, while the other two gripped massive swords. Wings capable of carrying it through the sky grew from its back, and Tianqi rose from its chest to the center of its head.
The energy gradually stabilized, and the Perfect Susanoo took shape. It stood a full 830 meters tall.
"Uchiha Madara said that whenever the Perfect Susanoo appeared, someone had to die. Well, I refuse to kill anyone today. I'm going to prove him wrong."
"But I still have to test its power. I'll use those nearby mountains as a target." As soon as he finished speaking, Tianqi controlled the Susanoo and drew its sword. The hundred-meter blade slid from its sheath.
"Take this!" Tianqi swung the Susanoo's sword horizontally. A terrifying wave of sword energy burst forth.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The terrifying sword energy split four distant mountain peaks in half.
"Holy crap! It's that powerful!" Tianqi was stunned. He'd only meant to cut down one mountain, but the terrifying sword energy had destroyed several in the distance.
"No wonder that old man was so arrogant—he dared to challenge Hashirama Senju. With power like this, I'd dare take on the Senju too. With a few Tailed Beasts to replenish my Chakra, even if Hashirama Senju came back to life, he might not be able to beat me. That's the confidence you get from overwhelming strength." Tianqi clenched both fists as he looked at his hands.
"Now I can go find Ōnoki." Tianqi dismissed the Susanoo, then vanished from the spot using Kamui.
Kamui also had a space-time teleportation ability similar to Flying Thunder God, but it consumed a great deal of ocular power. Before, Tianqi hadn't possessed the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and hadn't dared use it. Now that he had it, he used Kamui to travel.
After several consecutive space-time jumps, Tianqi reached Iwagakure in the Land of Earth from the Land of Hot Water in just one hour.
"It really lives up to its name, Iwagakure. As far as the eye can see, every house is made of stone," Tianqi remarked near the village gate.
"If I sneak in like this, the barrier will definitely detect me. Then meeting Ōnoki will be a hassle. I'd better use Kamui." After a moment's thought, Tianqi used Kamui to teleport to the Tsuchikage Building.
Inside the Tsuchikage Building, Ōnoki, newly appointed as Tsuchikage, was reviewing all kinds of documents when his eyelid suddenly began twitching. A bad feeling came over him.
"Hm? Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling? Am I just tired, or is something about to happen?" Ōnoki wondered, puzzled.
Just then, a space-time vortex appeared in front of Ōnoki, and Tianqi's voice came through. "You've got a pretty good sense of foreboding, Ōnoki. I haven't even arrived, and you already sensed me."
Tianqi slowly appeared in front of Ōnoki.
"Hm! A Konoha Ninja. What are you doing here?" Ōnoki asked when he saw Tianqi's Forehead Protector.
"What am I doing here? It's because of you." Tianqi raised his head and spoke arrogantly to Ōnoki.
"Because of me? What did I do? I don't think I've had anything to do with Konoha."
This person looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere, but I can't remember where. Ōnoki stared at Tianqi's face, puzzled.
