Uchiha Gaoli, the Orphan

"Hehe, let's go, there's only one Sunagakure left, let's go to the Land of Wind for dinner." Tianqi led everyone and disappeared from the spot.

Kirigakure Ghost Lantern Eiji of Kirigakure crawled out of the ruins. "Luckily, I liquefied my body at the crucial moment, otherwise I probably would have died here today."

Looking at the village, half of which was destroyed, Ghost Lantern Eiji's hatred for Uchiha Tianqi reached its peak. "Uchiha Tianqi! Kirigakure will fight you to the death!"

"Someone, gather your men!" Ghost Lantern Eiji shouted, but no one paid him any attention. Turning around, he realized his men had all died in the explosion. "Ghost Lantern Eiji Uchiha Tianqi!!! Ah!!!"

Ghost Lantern Eiji roared Tianqi's name amidst the ruins.

Meanwhile, Tianqi led everyone to eat in the desert. "The Land of Water is humid, while the Land of Wind is so dry. They are truly two extremes," Zhan said while eating.

"Yes, we've been traveling so fast between several countries, our bodies are starting to feel the strain," Uchiha Feng chimed in.

"The local environment of the major powers is indeed not very good. If Konoha were not strong enough, they would have come and robbed it long ago," Tianqi said while eating.

"Tianqi, if one day Konoha no longer wants us, will you leave the Land of Fire?" A ninja wiped his mouth and asked Tianqi. The others stopped eating and looked at Tianqi.

"Why are you suddenly asking this? But since you're curious, I'll tell you."

"To be honest, I've lived in the Land of Fire for so many years since I was a child, and I don't want to leave. I've gotten used to life here. Even if I leave Konoha, I won't leave the Land of Fire because this is my home. It's that simple. Any more questions?" Tianqi tilted his head and looked at everyone.

"Uh... no, we really don't want to leave the Land of Fire. After all, the environment here is so nice, and nobody wants to leave just like that," the ninja continued.

"Um, um, you're Uchiha Taka something, I've completely forgotten your name." Looking at this person, Tianqi couldn't remember his name for a moment.

"Uh... my name is Uchiha Gaoli, Lord Tianqi." Gaoli was speechless, not expecting that Tianqi hadn't remembered his name.

"I'm so sorry, Brother Gaoli, I've been so busy lately that I didn't remember your name. Do you still have any relatives in the clan?" Tianqi was a little embarrassed for not remembering someone's name.

"No, I'm all alone now. My parents died in battle." Uchiha Gaoli's face turned sad as he spoke of his parents.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know your parents had already... I'm sorry." Tianqi also realized that Gaoli was also an orphan, and he had really touched a raw nerve.

"It's alright, Tianqi. I've gotten used to being alone all these years," Gaoli forced a smile.

Seeing Gaoli's expression Tianqi sighed, "Ah, this is the ninja world. It's really not easy to have a sense of family here."

"Alright, Gaoli, from now on, you are my brother, Uchiha Tianqi's brother. I am your family, as are Zhan and the others. I have been an orphan since I was a child. From now on, you are all my brothers. We will share happiness and hardship!" Tianqi said, putting his arm around Gaoli's shoulder.

Gaoli looked at Tianqi with some surprise. The hierarchy among Uchiha ninjas was quite strict. He didn't expect Tianqi, a high-ranking member of the Militant Faction, to say such a thing, which put him in a bit of a dilemma. "Lord Tianqi, this..."

The others were also surprised to hear Tianqi's words; no high-ranking member of the Uchiha had ever said anything like that before. Uchiha Feng also stepped forward and said, "Tianqi, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, come on, brothers!" Tianqi stretched out his fist.

"Since Tianqi has said so, what are you still hesitating for? Other big shots won't treat you this well." Zhan stepped forward and directly collided his fist with Tianqi's fist.

Seeing this, the others exchanged glances, realizing that Tianqi wasn't joking, and they all came over, bumping their fists together.

"Alright! From now on, we are all family and brothers. We will share happiness and hardship!" Tianqi said happily as he watched everyone raise their fists.

"We'll share the good times and the bad!" Everyone shouted, clapping their fists together.

"Hahaha, with everyone so united, we're sure to be invincible this time, hahaha!" Tianqi laughed loudly, retracting his fist.

"Since Tianqi is willing to share the good fortune, hehe, look at Tsunade..." Zhan rubbed his hands together, looking at Tianqi with a lewd expression.

"Holy shit! Get out of here! Get lost!" Tianqi kicked Zhan away.

"Ah!" Zhan was sent flying and crashed onto the sand.

"Didn't you say we'd share the good times? Why did you kick me?" Zhan said, lying on the sand with a wronged expression.

"How dare you say that! I treated you like a brother, and since you've got your eye on my wife, kicking you out is already being lenient!" Tianqi looked at Zhan with utter contempt.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed at Zhan's wronged and aggrieved look, and Gaoli laughed too.

"I'm an orphan too. I'm not joking when I tell you this. I truly consider you a brother and family," Tianqi whispered in Gaoli's ear. After saying that, Tianqi walked towards the battlefield.

"Tianqi ..." Gaoli looked at Tianqi's back and was filled with emotion. He vowed to be loyal to Tianqi to the death.

"Stop pretending! I didn't even use any force. Get up now!" Tianqi looked at Zhan lying on the ground with disdain. He hadn't even used any force, and this guy had already been sent flying. What a show-off.

"Hey, Tianqi, your strength hasn't been great lately. I flew out and you were fine. You need to train harder." Zhan felt awkward about being seen through and stood up, brushing the sand off his body.

"If you keep talking like that, I'll really cut off your little brother next time," Tianqi glanced at Zhan's lower body and made a cutting gesture.

"Ouch, Tianqi, I promise I won't talk nonsense anymore, I promise!" Zhan covered his lower body with both hands, repeatedly promising that he would never say anything carelessly.

"It's okay, you can do it again next time. I haven't chopped someone's little brother in so long, I've almost forgotten what it feels like." Tianqi casually looked at his hand chop and even blew on it.

"Um... Tianqi, let's hurry to Sunagakure. There's a lot to do later." Zhan quickly changed the subject. He was afraid that Tianqi would accidentally kill himself if he talked about his younger brother.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time, you big talker," Tianqi said, turning away from the battle and heading towards the crowd.

Zhan followed behind Tianqi. He didn't dare to refute Tianqi's claim that he was just a big talker. Zhan thought it was best to avoid provoking this ruthless man.

Tianqi didn't care. He and Zhan were just joking around all the time, and he was used to it. He wouldn't really get angry, which was why Zhan dared to joke so recklessly.
