The Person Behind Tianqi

"With you here, what's the point of us fighting? You might as well just end the war yourself!" Tsunade said, speechless.

"This isn't my war, why should I pretend? Relying on others is not as good as relying on ourselves. Naruto's side is already losing ground and the main force is heading there. I think you should hurry up and go provide support!"

"We went there, and you? Did you just wander back to command post again?"

"What do you mean by 'wandering around'? I'm going to pick up Itachi and we'll meet up in a bit!" Tianqi said, grabbing Sen'u and disappearing with Karura.

...,

Seeing Tianqi slip away so easily, Five Kage was speechless. Goodness, he got away way too fast! It's obvious that he was trying to hide in the back and play dumb!

Seeing that she couldn't rely on Tianqi, Tsunade led the Five Kage towards Naruto's battlefield.

Meanwhile, Sen'u, who was being pulled away by Tianqi, asked in confusion, "Father, why are you pulling me away? Why don't you go pick up Itachi while I protect Mother?"

"Hmph, shut up. If I'm taking you away, just come with me obediently. My plan has already begun, so don't cause me any trouble on the battlefield!"

"The plan has begun?" Upon hearing that the Uchiha's plan had begun, Sen'u didn't say anything more, but the doubts in his heart remained.

Led by Tianqi, they quickly found Itachi after several spatial jumps. Itachi was walking slowly by himself, seemingly lost in thought.

"Itachi!" Tianqi appeared in front of Itachi and called out to his grandson.

"Hmm! Grandpa, Father, Karura Grandma, what brings you here?" Itachi was slightly surprised to see the three of them suddenly appear.

Seeing that Itachi's eye was intact and there were no problems, Tianqi was relieved. It would have been a pity to sacrifice such a powerful eye to save Kabuto, but thankfully Itachi did not sacrifice his eye.

"Itachi, what are you thinking about? How come you didn't even notice Grandpa's here? This isn't like you!"

"It's like this, after I met Sasuke and resolved the Kabuto issue, I told him the general truth, and Sasuke this..."

"Itachi, don't overthink it. History has its inevitability. Sasuke has his own path to walk. We can only guide him. Ultimately, he is the one who decides everything. Besides, your grandmother and I have already met the future Sasuke. He hasn't disappointed us. Now that he has a family, he's already doing the right thing!"

"The future Sasuke? Is that so? That's good, that's good!" Upon hearing this, Itachi was surprised but then relieved.

Unlike Itachi's composure, Sen'u, upon hearing that his father and the others had met the future Sasuke, excitedly exclaimed, "The future Sasuke? Father, when did you meet Sasuke? What's his family like? Is he doing well? What are his family members...?"

"Shut up! You have to see what the future holds for yourselves, not me telling you. Just make sure you don't disappoint. I've already handed over my power to him. What the future holds is up to you!" Tianqi said, glancing at his son and grandson with a hint of reluctance.

"Oh..." Since her father was unwilling to talk about it, Sen'u didn't ask any further questions.

However, unlike Sen'u, Tianqi's words gave Itachi a different understanding. He asked with some doubt, "Grandpa, from what you're saying, are you planning to leave?"

"Heh, as expected of Itachi, you're really smart. After the Uchiha plan succeeds this time, I might take you, Tsunade, and Karura to other places, and we might not be back for a long time..."

"Father, why are you leaving? Why are you..." Sen'u was also very agitated when she heard that her father and mother were leaving.

"Sen'u, don't get excited. Your father's mission in this world is basically complete. Staying here will only lead to stagnation. I want to strive for a higher level. Seeing that you are all doing well, your father is already very satisfied..."

"Father..." Sen'u also showed deep reluctance at this moment. Although his father often scolded him, those who were leaving were his closest relatives. How could he bear to part with them?

He finally understood the question that had been nagging at him. He had been wondering what the purpose of the Uchiha plan was, and now he finally understood: it was all for the purpose of leaving.

"Don't be so reluctant to part. I'll come back once I've explored all the secrets of the world and gained the power to control everything. After we leave, you can return to Konoha. Now that the old foxes of Konoha are gone, your path will be exceptionally easy!" As he spoke, Tianqi looked at Itachi again.

"As for You, Itachi, I would prefer that you return to your clan and become its guardian. Konoha may not be the right place for you. What do you think, Itachi?"

"My idea is also to return to the clan. Konoha may not be right for me, but Grandpa..." Itachi looked at his grandfather, who had always been so good to him, and his reluctance to part with him almost surpassed that of his father.

"Hahaha... Good, good, good. Now that they all have a place to go, I'm relieved. You don't need to worry about me. With my strength, I still have a long way to go!" Having arranged for his children and grandchildren to go, Tianqi used laughter to cover up his reluctance.

Seeing Tianqi's magnanimous demeanor, Sen'u and Itachi were still immersed in the reluctance of parting with their family.

Just then, Karura, who had been puzzled, finally spoke.

"Tianqi, I've always been curious, what exactly is this plan you're talking about?"

"The ultimate goal of this plan is so that we can leave—no, so that I can leave. Actually, I'm not even sure if I can take you and Tsunade. We'll only know for sure when certain people arrive..."

"Someone has arrived? Who exactly is it?"

"I don't really know who this person is, but I believe that once the plan succeeds, I will be able to meet this person, the one who has been behind me all along!" Tianqi squinted his eyes. To be honest, he was also looking forward to meeting this guy behind the scenes, so that he could unravel the mystery of the system and the transmigration.

"The person behind you, Grandpa, you mean there's someone behind you...!" Itachi looked at his grandfather in shock.

Sen'u and Karura were also shocked. It was truly unexpected that someone was behind the powerful Tianqi.

"I am Uchiha Madara's son, that's true. Although I had decent talent from a young age, I was definitely not qualified to be this strong now. It seems that this unseen hand behind the scenes has been pushing me all along. Sixty percent of my current power is thanks to this person behind the scenes. Even the extraction technique was given to me by him through special means. Now I am more and more convinced of this. I have a very subtle feeling about this plan to break through dimensions. I will definitely meet this guy behind the scenes!"

He desperately wanted to unravel the secrets of time travel and the system; for some reason, he always felt that things behind it all were not so simple.

"Father, since things are so complicated, why don't you stay and we can solve everything together?" In the end, Sen'u didn't want her parents to leave.

"This is my own business, and I must resolve it myself. You don't need to say anything more about my decision; my mind will not change!"

Knowing he couldn't persuade his father, Sen'u stopped talking. He cherished this last chance to spend time together and vowed never to upset his father during these final moments.

"I never imagined you had such a secret. But I'll always be there for you no matter what. I believe we can solve all the problems!" Karura immediately stepped forward and took Tianqi's hand.

"That's for sure. Not for myself, but for you all, I must unravel the mystery completely!" Tianqi's eyes were resolute; he was determined to uncover all these secrets.

"But how exactly do you plan to execute it? I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to help?"

"Um... I'd be grateful if you just didn't cause any trouble later!"

"Why do you say that? Is there something I have to do with this?"

"This specific plan requires the help of your uncle, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, so at that time..."

Before Tianqi could finish speaking, Karura asked incredulously, "Uncle Hagoromo! Wasn't he already dead? How could this be?"

"He is indeed dead, but he hasn't completely disappeared. I learned through special channels that he will appear in this war. As long as he appears, the Uchiha can extract the power to break through this world through him. So I hope that you will..." Tianqi looked at Karura apologetically.

The reason I haven't told Karura about this is because Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo is Karura's uncle, and it's never a good thing to mess with someone's uncle.
