Tianqi Was Going to Start a War
The wooden spikes pierced the leg of the Iwagakure Ninja captain, absorbing his Chakra and growing outwards, with five spike heads protruding from his leg.
"Ah!!!" A sharp, piercing pain shot through him, causing him to stop abruptly in his run. Without hesitation, the Iwagakure Ninja captain used Kunai to sever his entire leg.
"Ah!!" he cried out, his face pale as he cut off his leg, and continued to move slowly forward.
The Uchiha members were secretly impressed by what they saw. "He cut off his injured leg without hesitation. What a strong will!"
Tianqi gathered his strength and leaped directly in front of him. Looking at the Iwagakure Ninja who was struggling to survive with a severed arm, Tianqi was quite impressed.
"You managed to cut off your own leg in an instant, that's impressive, I have high hopes for you," Tianqi said with admiration.
"Hmph! Kill me if you want, stop trying to disgust me. If I even flinch, I'm not Iwagakure Ninja." He sneered at Uchiha Tianqi, who was blocking his way. Since he couldn't escape anyway, he might as well be tough and preserve his last bit of dignity.
Looking at the Iwagakure Ninja with a look of grim determination, Tianqi laughed, "Hahaha, I was going to kill you, so I wasn't just attacking your legs. I'm going to let you go now."
"Let me go? What are you up to now?" Upon hearing Uchiha Tianqi say he would let him go, his first reaction was that there was a conspiracy.
Before Tianqi could speak, the Uchiha members surrounded him. Zhan immediately said, "Tianqi, we can't let him go. If he leaves today, he'll definitely bring more people next time." The others echoed, "Yes, yes, we can't let him go."
"Uh!" Tianqi raised his hand to signal everyone to shut up, then looked at the Iwagakure Ninja and said, "I'm letting you go for no other reason than that you deliver a message to Ōnoki of Both Scales."
"Pass on a message to the Lord Tsuchikage? What message?" Hearing that he was to pass on a message to the Tsuchikage, he felt that Uchiha Tianqi was really going to let him go. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Tianqi's next sentence made his jaw drop.
"I asked you to pass on a message to him: I, Uchiha Tianqi, will launch the Second Shinobi World War against the Four Great Nations in a month. I want to become the second God of Shinobi after the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and I want to reclaim the glory of the Uchiha!" Tianqi said excitedly.
"Tianqi, are you crazy! What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you launch Second Shinobi World War against the Four Great Nations?" Zhan shouted as he approached Tianqi after hearing his words. The other Uchiha members stared at Tianqi in shock, all thinking he had gone mad.
"Heh, I don't need to say more, do I? Even your own subordinates don't believe you, so don't make jokes like this." The Iwagakure Ninja captain sneered, clearly not believing Uchiha Tianqi's words either.
"I, Uchiha Tianqi, keep my word and never joke about such things. I'll give you a month to prepare. In a month, on this border, I Uchiha Tianqi, will lead my clan in a full-scale clash with you."
"Don't underestimate me and end up being wiped out. I won't hold back at all. Go and inform your village." Tianqi ignored Zhan and instead squatted down to use his Mystical Palm Technique to heal the Iwagakure Ninja captain's leg. After healing him, he was about to let him go.
"Are you really going to wage war against us?" Seeing that Uchiha Tianqi didn't seem to be joking, he asked seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense. I said war, and I mean war. Leave your Sharingan and get out of here!" Tianqi said, then turned and walked towards the camp without looking back.
"Uchiha Tianqi, you will regret your decision today!" The Iwagakure Ninja captain threw the glass bottle Sharingan to the group and left.
The group took the Sharingan glass bottle and immediately followed Zhan Chong towards the camp. Upon entering the camp, they saw Tianqi sitting in his seat with his eyes closed.
"Bang! Tianqi, what are you thinking? Why do you suddenly want to wage war against the Four Great Nations?" Zhan slammed the glass bottle containing the Sharingan onto the table, speaking angrily.
Tianqi opened his eyes and slowly said, "Don't say anything more, just support me, that's enough."
"But you have to give me a reason. It's hard for me to handle this if you're completely clueless," Zhan said, his tone softening as Tianqi spoke.
"Alright, then let me tell you. This time I launched this war, firstly for myself and secondly for the entire Uchiha. I want to regain the status of the Uchiha Warring States Period. This war will make me a god, laying a strong foundation for future generations," Tianqi said domineeringly.
"Well... but we only have a few people in our Militant Faction. Even if we bring in the Moderate Faction, do we really have the strength to fight against the four great ninja villages? Isn't it too early to start a war now?" Zhan hesitated for a moment before speaking after seeing Tianqi's words.
"Don't worry, Zhan. This time I'm not bringing those Moderate Faction moderates. I already have a plan to deal with the major ninja villages," Tianqi patted Zhan on the shoulder and turned to the others.
"You don't need to worry. I only do things when I'm absolutely certain of success. I have a 90% chance of winning this battle. Rather than hiding in Konoha Tenten, I might as well take a gamble."
Although Tianqi said there was a 90% chance of success, they were still worried. After all, those were the four great ninja villages. Seeing that everyone was still worried, Zhan sighed and said, "Tianqi, tell us your plan. Otherwise, no one will have any confidence."
"Alright, since that's the case, everyone come out with me." After saying that, Tianqi walked out directly, and everyone followed Tianqi out.
Upon arriving at the open space, Tianqi addressed the crowd directly. "Since none of you are confident about this war, I'll show you my plan now. Who's willing to step forward and give it a try?"
Everyone looked left and right, wondering what Tianqi was up to. For a moment, no one stepped forward. Seeing this, Tianqi mocked, "The war hasn't even started yet, and you're all such cowards. Are you even men of the Uchiha Clan? If not, get out of here now. I can't bear the shame."
Seeing everyone's cowardly state, Tianqi felt that leading them into battle was a mistake.
"Tianqi, how about I do it?" Zhan stepped forward, seeing that Tianqi was angry.
"Tianqi, I'll come! I believe in you!" Before Tianqi could speak, an Uchiha man stepped forward.
Tianqi saw that someone else had stepped forward besides Zhan. He looked closely and exclaimed, "It's him!" Indeed, it was the ninja who had led the way. His strength was the weakest among the group, which was why he had become the guide.
"Very good! This is how a man of the Uchiha should act. What's your name?" Tianqi looked at the ninja leading the way with admiration. His act of stepping forward had already defeated many others.
