Uchiha's Battle Against Abuse

"Sage of Six Paths? That's just a legend. No one has ever proven his existence. Tianqi, you're really going off the rails," Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed Tianqi's words, and Zhan nodded in agreement. He didn't believe it either.

"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. This world isn't as simple as you think. Alright, I'm full, let's go." With that, he stood up and left.

"Damn it! We haven't even eaten yet, and you ate it all!" Seeing Tianqi leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Zhan realized all the food was gone.

"Let's go. After eating, we can get some exercise and see if the Hokage's strength has declined. We can also check your current strength, Zhan." Seeing the two of them emerge after paying the bill, Tianqi directly invited them.

"Fine." The three of them didn't go to the village's training grounds but headed straight for the Konoha Back Mountain forest. If they fought in the village's training grounds, they'd destroy the entire place.

"Zhan, you go first. Let me see your current strength. I'll save the fight with Big Brother Sarutobi for last." He beckoned Zhan directly.

"Then let me test you, the Uchiha's foremost, and take this!" With that, Zhan activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and charged at Tianqi.

The two began a Taijutsu duel, exchanging punch for punch. With the enhancement of the Sharingan's dynamic vision, Zhan managed to fight Tianqi to a draw for a time.

"Not bad, Zhan. You can fight me to a draw in Taijutsu. I wonder about your ninjutsu?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tianqi formed hand seals.

"Fire Style - Great Fireball Jutsu!" Tianqi directly used a standard Fire Style technique. Accompanied by Tianqi's Chakra output, the Great Fireball Jutsu visibly grew larger, its C-rank ninjutsu power reaching A-rank.

"Impressive. To use a C-rank ninjutsu with the power of an A-Rank Ninjutsu! But I'm not that easy to handle either. Fire Style - Fire Dragon Bullet!" Zhan directly formed hand seals and unleashed the A-Rank Ninjutsu Fire Dragon Bullet.

The two ninjutsu collided, raising the surrounding temperature. Then, both ninjutsu canceled each other out, and the two resumed their Taijutsu exchange.

"Uchiha Zhan can only contend with Tianqi's C-rank ninjutsu using an A-Rank Ninjutsu. It seems Tianqi's strength has likely reached Kage-level," Sarutobi analyzed as he watched the two fight.

"I'm no match for him in ninjutsu. I'll have to rely on Taijutsu." After the recent ninjutsu clash, Zhan made his decision.

Seeing Zhan no longer using ninjutsu but instead engaging him in Taijutsu, Tianqi's lips curved into a slight smile. "You can't beat me in ninjutsu, and you want to find victory in Taijutsu? I'll grant you that."

Seeing Zhan's kick coming, he seized the opportunity and activated his Mangekyo, using Kamui to phase.

Zhan, seeing his attack about to hit Tianqi, smiled. Taijutsu is indeed his weakness. At such close range, he can't dodge.

Zhan was still happy that his attack was effective, but the next second, his foot passed through Tianqi's body as if he had kicked nothing.

Seeing his foot pass through, Tianqi casually grabbed Zhan's leg. "Got you. Prepare yourself, Zhan!" Grabbing Zhan's leg, he forcefully swung him. Zhan lost his balance in mid-air and was flung into the forest, crashing into five trees before stopping.

"Cough... cough... what just happened?" Zhan clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hmm! Zhan's attack passed through Tianqi's body. What kind of strange ability is this? Does it nullify all attacks? He actually has such an ability. No wonder he could attack the Land of Earth and retreat safely. However, such a heaven-defying ninjutsu must have a price or a weakness. Sarutobi observed and analyzed intently.

"Did you think you could defeat me in Taijutsu, Zhan? How did that miscalculation feel?" Tianqi looked at Zhan with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to have such a miraculous ninjutsu. I did miscalculate this time. If you keep using this ability, I truly have no chance of winning. If you don't use it, I might not lose," Zhan said, still unconvinced. He didn't lose to Tianqi, but to that strange ability.

"Is that so?" Tianqi looked at the unconvinced Zhan. Blood flowed from the corner of his left eye. "Tsukuyomi!" Tianqi directly unleashed the genjutsu ultimate technique, Tsukuyomi.

This technique can pull the enemy's spirit into a genjutsu space. In the Tsukuyomi world, all factors, including time, space, and mass, are controlled by the caster. The enemy will suffer immense physical and mental pain in the genjutsu world. One only needs to see Tianqi's eyes to fall victim.

At this moment, Zhan finally noticed the change in Tianqi's eyes, but it was too late.

In the genjutsu space, Tianqi bound Zhan to a cross and created numerous illusions.

"What's going on?" Bound, Zhan was stunned by the many illusory Shadow Clones.

The illusory Tianqis remained silent. They continuously pierced Zhan's body with their ninjutto blades. Zhan cried out in pain, "Ah! Ah! Ah! Tianqi, what's happening?!"

The Tianqi in the genjutsu space said, "Welcome to the Tsukuyomi world. The three days you spend in this world will be but an instant in reality. That means you will be tormented for 72 hours. You've only been here for one second, with 71 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds remaining. Enjoy it."

"Ah! Ah! Ah! No! Stop it, I surrender, Tianqi!" Zhan, hearing that he would be tormented for so long, immediately surrendered. Unfortunately, the illusions did not stop.

In reality, Zhan fainted in an instant.

"Huh? What happened to Uchiha Zhan? He lost already? That's too weak." Sarutobi looked at Zhan, who had been talking moments ago, and had now fainted. He was also bewildered.

He then went directly to Tianqi and asked, "What happened to him? He just fainted. His strength shouldn't be this limited, right?"

"He fell victim to my strongest genjutsu," Tianqi said, pointing to his eyes.

"Oh, strange patterns. Is this the Uchiha's legendary strongest Sharingan Mangekyo? And that strange penetration ability must also be the power of these eyes." Seeing Tianqi's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly understood everything. His teacher, Tobirama Senju, had said that Uchiha's eyes evolved, and each eye would develop a unique special ability, with different patterns. This was why they were called Mangekyo.

"That's right. And this isn't ordinary Mangekyo. Ordinary Mangekyo leads to blindness, but these eyes do not. These are the same eyes as Uchiha Madara's, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that never goes blind," Tianqi did not hide anything and directly told Sarutobi.

"The same eyes as Uchiha Madara? Does that mean your current strength is already comparable to Uchiha Madara's?" Sarutobi said in shock.

"If Madara were still alive, he wouldn't be my opponent now," he said proudly.

"I see. No wonder you dared to cause trouble in Iwagakure. Let me try. How far have you come?" Sarutobi directly threw off his Hokage cloak, revealing the battle armor underneath.

Sarutobi did not hold back at all and immediately began forming hand seals.

"Summoning Jutsu! Come forth, Enma King!"
