"Alright, Tsunade, Tianqi really went too far this time. This punishment is practically nothing for him," Mito said, patting Tsunade's head.

"Okay," Tsunade lowered her head.

"This is bad, this is bad! Uchiha Tianqi attacked Lord Danzo in his cell!" a ninja burst in, flustered.

"What! Why did Danzo go to the cell? Damn it! Tianqi, you can't be impulsive!" Sarutobi rushed out immediately. The others followed. What he cared about most now was Tianqi. If someone who could rival an entire ninja village turned traitor, it would be a loss and a disaster for Konoha.

Everyone was filled with worry.

"How is it? Did Uchiha Tianqi break out?" Sarutobi arrived at the detention area and directly asked another guard.

"Huh? Lord Hokage, what are you talking about? Who would dare break into the impenetrable prison?" The guard looked at Sarutobi, utterly confused.

"Didn't you say Uchiha Tianqi attacked in the cell?" Sarutobi was also bewildered.

"Oh, that. He just attacked Lord Danzo and then stopped. He didn't try to break out of the cell."

Hearing that Tianqi hadn't acted impulsively, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take us to where Uchiha Tianqi is."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

The group followed the guard into the prison. As soon as they entered, they were stunned. Tianqi was lying on a bed, fast asleep.

Good heavens, we were so worried, and he's sleeping in jail.

"Tianqi! Wake up!" Sarutobi roared.

"Huh? Who is it? Can't a person sleep?" Tianqi mumbled sleepily. When he saw who was there, he immediately jumped off the bed.

"Big Brother Sarutobi, you're here! Elder, Tsunade, you're here too." Tianqi began to greet them all warmly.

But when he looked at the elderly woman beside them, he frowned. She looked so familiar, like he'd seen her somewhere before. "Who is this?" Tianqi asked everyone.

"Uchiha Tianqi, we haven't seen each other for many years. You probably don't remember me. I am Uzumaki Mito, an old friend of your father's," Mito said, before anyone else could speak.

Uzumaki Mito! He remembered. Wasn't she Hashirama Senju's wife? He wasn't that familiar with her. Why was she here?

"Greetings, Lady Mito. May I ask why you've come?" Even though he didn't know if her intentions were good or bad, Tianqi greeted her enthusiastically.

"Little Tsunade brought me. I never expected that the young man once held under house arrest by Tobirama would become so strong now, capable of challenging an entire country alone. If I'm not mistaken, you've awakened those eyes, haven't you?" Mito scrutinized the young man before her.

Hearing Mito's question, Tianqi's face turned serious. "Big Brother Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Elder, please leave for now. I have something to discuss with Lady Mito."

At this, the Elder's heart stirred upon hearing Mito mention those eyes. Honestly, he wanted to keep listening, but since Tianqi asked them to leave, he could only comply. He could always ask later.

Sarutobi and Tsunade both looked at Mito, who simply waved her hand, signaling them to leave.

After everyone had left, Mito spoke, "Alright, they're gone. Say what you need to say."

"As expected of First Hokage Hashirama Senju's wife, your influence in Konoha is considerable. Even the Hokage listens to you," Tianqi said with a slight smile.

"You don't need to insinuate things here. Answer my question: have you awakened those eyes?" Mito was completely unfazed by Tianqi's teasing. She was old and her heart was already like still water.

"That's right, I have awakened those eyes, the eyes that possess Sage Power."

Seeing Tianqi confirm it, Mito frowned. Once an Uchiha awakened those eyes, their psychology would inevitably become somewhat twisted. It seemed Tianqi had also been affected.

"Since you've awakened those eyes, your time in the light is short, and you've been influenced by their power," Mito said with a frown.

"Lady Mito, do you think I could be sitting here peacefully if I were influenced by the power? As for the light, while you may know the Uchiha well, do you think I, as an Uchiha, wouldn't understand?" Tianqi began to converse with Mito as an equal. He no longer feared anyone in the ninja world. For him to lower his stance, it had to be the right person.

"Hmph! Since you know, you should cherish your remaining time and not do meaningless things. Tsunade pleaded with me to save you, so I'll suppress the matter of the Land of Earth for you this time. I hope this is the first and last time something like this happens, otherwise, even if Tsunade begs for you next time, it will be useless. Hmph! Take care of yourself!" Seeing Tianqi speak to her with such an attitude, she became a little displeased and prepared to leave.

Hearing that Mito wasn't here to cause trouble, but rather that Tsunade had asked her to help him, Tianqi changed his attitude as Mito was about to leave. "Lady Mito, please wait."

"What is it? Do you have something else?" Mito turned back with an unpleasant expression.

"Uh... I thought you were here to cause trouble for me today, so my attitude towards you was poor. I apologize here. Please forgive me." After speaking, he bowed deeply to Mito. After all, she was Tsunade's grandmother, so bowing once for Tsunade was fine.

"Oh, I thought you would be as unruly as your father," Mito said, seeing Tianqi's improved attitude and his bow. She didn't leave.

"He is he, and I am me. I will never be like him, nor will I become like him," Tianqi said confidently. He would never agree with Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.

"Also, please don't tell Tsunade about my earlier poor attitude towards you," Tianqi said, rubbing his nose.

"Alright, I promise. Alas, what a shame, such a good Uchiha, soon to be blind. It's truly a pity." Mito looked at Tianqi with regret.

"There's no pity in that. These eyes won't go blind, because like him, I've awakened the Eyes of Eternal Light," Tianqi said with a smile.

"What! Eternal Light! That's impossible! Madara himself didn't know why he had the Eyes of Infinite Light. How did you do it?" Hearing that Tianqi's eyes wouldn't go blind, she asked him in shock.

"Uh... this is an Uchiha secret. Can I not answer?" Tianqi said, rubbing his head.

"Well, since it's a secret, it's okay not to answer. Who else knows this method of awakening? Is it easy to awaken?" She turned and asked Tianqi. If there was a way to awaken such power, and it was easy, Konoha would be in complete chaos.

"Only I know the method. As for awakening these eyes, among the current generation of Uchiha in the clan, no one else can succeed except me."

Hearing Tianqi say this, Mito breathed a sigh of relief. This generation of Uchiha had at most a hundred years left to live, so they were safe for now. "Tianqi, I hope you don't tell anyone this method except yourself and your descendants. Can you do that?" She thought highly of Tianqi.

"Absolutely, I can definitely do that," Tianqi patted his chest and promised.

Seeing Tianqi's assurance, Mito felt relieved. She had her own considerations for saying this. Little Tsunade now had a good impression of Tianqi, and from Tianqi's attitude, he also had a good impression of little Tsunade. If the two of them ended up together, with the strong union of the descendants of Hashirama and Madara, Konoha might truly be stable in the future.
