Tianqi Imprisoned

Yes, Tianqi gave Tsunade the cultivation method for the Hundred Healings Jutsu. He used his remaining 14,000 points to exchange for 10,000 points worth of the Hundred Healings Jutsu.

"This, this, this is..." Tsunade's eyes widened in shock as she looked at the scroll Tianqi gave her.

"Tsunade, I know you have great talent in Medical Ninjutsu, but Medical Ninjas can't be on the front lines. With this jutsu, you can be at the forefront of the battlefield in just a few years, and you can protect yourself well," Tianqi said, affectionately patting Tsunade's head.

"Th-thank you, Tianqi," Tsunade replied, blushing.

Afterward, Tianqi looked at Orochimaru beside them.

"Orochimaru, we've been together for a long time, but I don't know what kind of ninjutsu to teach you. You seem suited for all kinds of ninjutsu. This scroll records the cultivation methods for all Five Elemental Natures and combination ninjutsu. Take it and study it slowly," Tianqi handed the scroll to Orochimaru.

Tianqi exchanged his remaining 4,000 points for a cultivation method. Although it recorded many ninjutsu, it wasn't directly granted but required personal practice, hence only costing 4,000 points. Thus, Tianqi's points were all spent.

"Th-thank you, Brother Tianqi!" Orochimaru had been a little disappointed when Tianqi said he didn't know what to teach him. But to his surprise, Tianqi immediately gave him a scroll containing a vast number of ninjutsu. Orochimaru said gratefully to Tianqi.

And so, they traveled while learning ninjutsu, finally arriving near Konoha. What should have taken only a few days turned into half a month. Jiraiya, on the other hand, took a week to finally learn the Rasengan.

The strength of the other two also increased. Jiraiya and Tsunade successfully achieved Chunin level strength, while Orochimaru reached the level of an elite Chunin.

"Ah, after so long, we can finally reach Konoha soon. I'm already homesick," Jiraiya exclaimed, looking at the approaching Konoha gates.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to be gone for so long this time. I really miss Konoha," Orochimaru said with a smile, looking at the gates of Konoha.

"Tianqi, do you miss Konoha?" Tsunade asked Tianqi gently. Over the past half-month, Tianqi and Tsunade had grown closer.

"Honestly, if I could, I really wouldn't want to come back," Tianqi said with a helpless expression.

"Why do you say that? Who wouldn't want to go home?" Tsunade asked, confused, hearing Tianqi say he didn't want to return to Konoha.

"You'll know soon," Tianqi said, walking towards the gate without looking back. Why did he say that? Because he had already spotted two Anbu wearing cat masks standing at the entrance. If he guessed correctly, they were here to take him away.

Thus, the group walked step by step towards the main gate.

"Hey, we're back..." Jiraiya was about to greet the gatekeepers when the two Anbu at the entrance suddenly threw out chains.

The chains shot towards Tianqi, binding him. He didn't resist as the chains flew at him, but surrendered willingly, knowing why they were arresting him.

"Uchiha Tianqi, come with us," the two Anbu said coldly.

"Mm," Tianqi didn't speak, allowing the Anbu to drag him away.

The Anbu didn't expect to succeed so easily, nor did they expect Tianqi to cooperate so readily. However, they didn't pay it much mind. Cooperation was better and saved them a lot of trouble.

The unaware Tsunade and the other two watched Tianqi being captured and about to be taken away, and they panicked.

"Wait, why are you arresting someone for no reason?" Tsunade immediately blocked the Anbu's path, with Jiraiya and Orochimaru joining her.

"That's right, you have to give us an explanation!" Tianqi had been a teacher to Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and they expressed their full support for Tianqi without reservation.

Seeing the three blocking their way, the Anbu said coldly, "We only carry out orders, we are not responsible for explanations. If you want to know how we arrest people, you can go ask the Hokage."

"Hmph! Not only did we complete our mission, but we exceeded it. Why are you arresting him? And you want us to ask the Hokage? The Hokage can't be this overbearing! What's there to ask?! In short, no one is taking him away today!" Tsunade stubbornly spread her arms, blocking the Anbu.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru immediately took out their kunai, assuming a fighting stance, ready to act if anyone dared to take Tianqi away.

"Are you obstructing us from carrying out our orders? I advise you to move aside quickly. If you continue to obstruct us, we have the right to arrest you on the grounds of obstructing the execution of orders. Think carefully," seeing that the three were about to make a move, the Anbu issued a warning.

"I don't care about that, you can't take him away," Tsunade insisted stubbornly, still blocking them.

"Since that's the case, don't blame us for being impolite." Seeing that the three still wouldn't move, the Anbu prepared to attack.

"Enough, stop!" Just as they were about to fight, Tianqi finally spoke. "Tsunade, you guys step aside. Don't cause trouble in the village."

"No, Tianqi, if we step aside, won't that prove the village is unjust and arrests people arbitrarily? I absolutely will not allow you to be taken away like this," Tsunade said angrily to the two Anbu. She couldn't allow such a thing to happen in the village her grandfather had founded.

"Alright, this is indeed my fault. The village is not wrong. Tsunade, please step aside," Tianqi tried hard to persuade Tsunade.

"Your fault? What fault do you have? We completed the mission together, we did nothing wrong. They are the ones who are wrong," Tsunade pointed at the two Anbu. It was clear that Tsunade didn't know they were talking about completely different matters.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Tianqi directly activated his Sharingan and cast a genjutsu on Tsunade. Tsunade, who had been speaking moments ago, froze in place.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru also noticed something was wrong and were about to help Tsunade out of the genjutsu when Tianqi's voice came through, "No need to break her out. You two take her to the side and stop obstructing. Otherwise, I'll use genjutsu on you too."

Hearing Tianqi say this, the two wisely took Tsunade to the side.

"Tsunade, don't be so impulsive in the future," Tianqi said to Tsunade, then followed the two Anbu. This time, the two Anbu didn't restrain Tianqi, but let him walk ahead with them following behind. Even bound, he could still cast genjutsu without hand seals. It was better not to mess with someone this formidable.

The two Anbu only knew how to follow orders and had no idea what Tianqi had done wrong. If they had known that Tianqi had not only attacked a major ninja village but also won, they would have likely been scared out of their wits.

And so, Tianqi did not get to see Sarutobi Hiruzen. Instead, he was bound and sent directly into the dark Konoha prison. As soon as he entered the prison, the guard wanted to put an eyepatch on Tianqi, but Tianqi directly released a powerful aura and refused. "Forget the eyepatch. If I really wanted to escape, I wouldn't have come back. Besides, you wouldn't be able to stop me if I tried."

The guard knew Tianqi's strength and didn't insist on the eyepatch. Thus, Tianqi sat bound in the prison.

He sat there silently, quietly waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrival. He knew Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely come.
