Ōnoki's Fury

"Since that's the case, you'll stay here for a while. You've caused too much trouble this time, and we need to make an example of you. You stay put, I'm leaving." Mito said and left.

"Is that so? Then, Lord Mito, please take care." Seeing that he couldn't leave for the time being, Tianqi didn't insist.

After Mito left, Sarutobi and the others also came in.

"Tianqi, are you alright?"

"Young Clan Head, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Tsunade. Elder, why are you here too? You're old, why are you still running around?" He looked at the Elder sternly. The Elder had treated him very well over the years, but he was getting old and probably didn't have many years left.

"Young Clan Head, if something happened to you, how could I be at ease at home? I cannot betray Lord Madara." No matter what Tianqi said, he couldn't betray Uchiha Madara.

"Alright, I'm fine. Elder, you should go back quickly. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. Enjoy your old age. Also, don't mention that person in front of me anymore." After Tianqi finished speaking, he turned to look at Sarutobi.

"You brat, the Elder is also doing this for your own good. We heard there was a fight in the prison and thought you might have done something drastic, so we rushed over. We didn't expect it was you who beat Danzo. Why can't you behave even when you're in jail?"

He waved his hand and said, "I didn't want to hit him. He was asking for it. He kept mocking me endlessly and then tried to make a move. I couldn't just let him hit me, so I had to fight back."

"What! That old geezer Danzo tried to hit you? What gives him the right? Teacher Sarutobi, you must uphold justice for Tianqi!" Tsunade was furious when she heard that Tianqi was almost beaten.

"Alright, Tianqi is fine. I will deal with Danzo's matter."

"Tianqi, you'll have to endure it here for a while longer. Don't cause any more trouble. Once we've compensated Iwagakure, we'll let you out." Sarutobi said slowly, afraid that Tianqi would not be able to bear it and cause more trouble.

"Compensate them? If they're not satisfied, they can come find me anytime. I'll beat them until they explode. They want compensation? Dream on!" Tianqi said, clenching his fists. He wasn't afraid. At worst, they could just go to war. Who was afraid of whom?

"Just you wait. You caused a huge disturbance in their village. It's only right to pay some compensation. Peace is hard-won. If they go too far, we won't indulge them." At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not old. He was still impulsive, unlike his indecisive old age.

"Fine, fine. You guys handle it. If it really comes to war, I'm confident I can make the Land of Fire's territory completely belong to the Land of Fire." Tianqi said full of confidence. At this moment, he indeed had the strength to do so.

"Alright, alright. You stay here honestly. I have a mountain of other problems to deal with, so I'll be leaving now."

"Young Clan Head, I'm leaving too."

Tianqi waved his hand, and the two of them walked out. Only Tsunade and Tianqi were left in the prison.

"Tsunade, you should go back too. I'll be out in a while. You can start practicing that jutsu I gave you during this time." He gently rubbed Tsunade's head and said.

"Mhm..." Tsunade nodded with a blush and ran out.

"Senju... Uchiha... The combination of the two creates all things... Things are getting more and more interesting." Watching Tsunade leave, he went back to lying down.

A few days later, with Mito's intervention, the higher-ups had no objections to the compensation. The Daimyo also gave Mito face and agreed to pay.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Sarutobi waved his hand and wrote a letter. He dispatched a small team with the letter and money to the Land of Earth.

Upon receiving the letter and money, Ōnoki was furious.

Bang!

"Damn Konoha, damn Sarutobi Hiruzen! This amount of money isn't even enough to repair the houses, and they dare to threaten me in a letter!" Ōnoki slammed the table in front of him, smashing it, and said angrily.

The Iwagakure higher-ups nearby also picked up the letter from the ground and read it.

To the esteemed Tsuchikage, we express our deepest apologies for the attack on Iwagakure by our village's ninja. However, what has happened cannot be undone. Therefore, our village has decided to compensate your village with 30 million Ryo for the repair of houses. We hope your village will accept.

Of course, we never provoke trouble. When trouble comes, we are not afraid. We hope your village will consider carefully.

After reading the letter, the higher-ups finally understood why Ōnoki was so angry.

"Tsuchikage-sama, our current strength is not enough to defeat them. We should endure Konoha's provocation for now. Let's clench our fists and wait until we are strong enough to settle the score." The higher-ups advised.

"I know all this. I'm just feeling uncomfortable. Damn Konoha, I've noted this debt. You'll have a reckoning in the future."

Unlike Ōnoki's anger, Tianqi was currently enjoying the food brought by Tsunade.

"Mmm, this food is much better than what they make in prison. Eating prison food every day, I'm almost sick of it." Tianqi devoured the food Tsunade brought.

"Just bear with it a little longer. Teacher Sarutobi has already sent the compensation. You'll be able to come out in a while." Tsunade said with a smile, watching Tianqi eat heartily. This was all handmade by her, and she was happy to see Tianqi enjoying it.

"They sent it so quickly? How much money did Brother Sarutobi send?" Tianqi said with his mouth full of food.

"Eat slowly. I'm not too sure either. I heard Grandma Mito say they sent 30 million Ryo." She wasn't very clear about the decisions made by the higher-ups.

"Thirty million Ryo? Hahaha, if they really sent thirty million Ryo, Tsuchikage Ōnoki must be so angry his face has turned black right now." Tianqi said with a laugh.

"Why do you say that?"

"Haha, if you don't know, judging by the extent of the destruction I caused that day, plus the compensation for the injured, it should have been several hundred million. Thirty million to repair the houses is not even enough."

"Hahaha, Iwagakure won't be able to cause trouble for the next decade or so." Tianqi said happily.

"I see. If that's the case, will Tsuchikage just let it go? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't accept such a small amount of money," Tsunade said after thinking.

"He has no choice but to accept. The current Iwagakure is no match for Konoha. They were already weaker than Konoha, and after my rampage, they are even worse off. If Ōnoki wants to go to war with Konoha now, it's a dead end. He can only swallow this loss in silence." Tianqi explained.

"I see. It's for the village. Why did you have to go and cause trouble in Iwagakure? Now you have to go to jail."

"You don't understand, Tsunade. The Land of Fire's environment is inherently better than other countries. They've had their eyes on the Land of Fire for a long time. Rather than waiting for them to become stronger and attack us, it's better for me to weaken their strength in advance and prevent them from attacking. Everything I've done is for Konoha, for the Land of Fire." Tianqi said righteously.

"Yes, yes, you always have your reasons. I can't argue with you. Hurry up and eat. I'll clear the dishes after you're done and leave. I have to go on a mission in a few days." She urged Tianqi.
