Tianqi looked out the window at Tsunade, who looked bewildered and lost inside, and he felt truly sorry for her.
"Hey, Tsunade, be strong. I believe you're not that fragile. You can do it." After reading about Tsunade, Tianqi left and returned to the camp. He was afraid that if he watched any longer, he would feel even more heartbroken.
A few days after Tianqi returned to his camp, Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo also returned to Konoha. Upon their return, they learned that Tianqi had defected and even challenged several major powers, leaving them all shocked.
Meanwhile, news also came from the ninja world that the Third Raikage, A, had summoned the Kage of the five great villages to begin the Second Five Kage Summit in the Land of Lightning (the first one was organized by Hashirama Senju).
The major ninja villages, which should have been enemies, put aside their hatred and gathered together.
"I initiated this Five Kage Summit, so let me start by saying that, apart from Konoha, everyone should have received Uchiha Tenki's declaration of war. His goal isn't just any one village, but to wipe out all of our major villages in one fell swoop."
"To put it bluntly, with Uchiha Tenki's current strength, neither of our villages alone could defeat him. No, even if the two villages joined forces, it probably wouldn't be enough," the Third Raikage, A, said loudly.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, listened to Raikage A's words and fell into deep thought. He once thought that Tian Qi would definitely make a name for himself in the ninja world. He never imagined that many years later, Tian Qi would be so bold as to challenge the entire ninja world. He didn't know why Tian Qi would suddenly be like this. He couldn't understand it.
Just how strong have you become, Tianqi, that you dare to challenge the ninja world with only a few Uchiha clan members?
To this day, Hiruzen Sarutobi still doesn't know how strong Tenki really is. He knows Tenki is very powerful, but he has no idea just how powerful he is.
"After saying all this, I just want to join forces with everyone to completely eradicate this scourge, Uchiha Tenchi. What do you Kage say about joining forces?" A finished speaking and looked at the four Kage present.
"Hmph! Uchiha Tenki killed many of my Sand Ninja. This time I will make him pay the price. I agree to join forces!" Haneda Saemon slammed his hand on the table and said loudly.
"I also agree to join forces. Uchiha Tenchi must die," Hozuki Eiji chimed in.
"I don't need to say anything more. I must be included in the effort to eliminate Uchiha Tenchi," Onoki also stepped forward.
All three villages were attacked by Tianqi. They not only lost face for their great nation, but also suffered heavy losses. Even without Raikage's organization, they would have joined forces this time.
"Alright, since the three of you agree, then the four great nations will join forces to completely annihilate Uchiha Tenchi." After saying this, A looked at Konoha and said, "Third Hokage, what about you? You don't mean to protect Uchiha Tenchi, do you? I advise you to think it over carefully."
Hearing A's threatening tone, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that now was not the time to hesitate. He immediately stood up and said, "Third Raikage, don't talk nonsense. When did I say that I would protect Uchiha Tenchi? Besides, he is a rogue ninja and has nothing to do with Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately distanced himself from Tenki, revealing that Tenki was a rogue ninja. He couldn't afford to be associated with Tenki now, otherwise Konoha would face the wrath of the four great nations simultaneously, which was absolutely unacceptable.
"Hmph! Rogue ninja! Who knows if Uchiha Tenchi, who attacked our four great nations this time, was sent by your Konoha? I even suspect that your Konoha wants to annex our great nations and deliberately sent such a person." Onoki didn't hold back in kicking Sarutobi Hiruzen when he was down. It was obvious that he was still holding a grudge about the last attack on the village and the compensation.
Upon hearing what the Tsuchikage said, the other Kage also looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with suspicion.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hiruzen Sarutobi directly rebuked Onoki, "Onoki, stop talking nonsense. You're just unhappy with the compensation I gave you a few years ago. Don't think I don't know."
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that what Uchiha Tenki is doing now has absolutely nothing to do with Konoha. Moreover, he has already taken a group of his subordinates with him when he defected, and he even injured me. If I wanted to annex your major countries, I wouldn't be here today!"
Of course, Onoki knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't possibly have any connection with Uchiha Tensei right now. Today, he just wanted to annoy Konoha. "No matter what you say, Uchiha Tensei still came from your Konoha. Your Konoha bears some responsibility. What you say is useless."
"Onoki, you..." Seeing Onoki like this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry that his teeth itched.
Seeing that the two were getting more and more agitated, Ai stepped forward and said, "Let's have a proper argument after the war. Third Hokage, I want to know whether you want to join forces with us to fight against Uchiha Tenki."
"Of course we should join forces. I will naturally participate in eliminating the rogue ninja of the village." Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to join forces without hesitation. If he did not agree, judging from the attitude of the Kage, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Land of Lightning today.
"Alright, since you've all agreed to join forces, let's discuss it."
The five Kage then began discussing topics such as how many troops to send, who would be in charge of logistics, and who would command the ninjas.
In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi left with a livid face, clearly indicating that he had not achieved much in this tournament, or rather, had accomplished nothing.
The village chiefs watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi left with a livid expression. They exchanged a glance and smiled slightly. They had deliberately suppressed Hiruzen Sarutobi. After all, Konoha was strong, and the enemy this time was from Konoha. Who else would they suppress if not you?
After the Five Shadows meeting concluded, each of the Shadows returned to their villages to prepare.
A month later, 40 Uchiha clansmen stood in neat rows on the northern border. They didn't say a word, all standing solemnly in place, looking at their clan leader, that invincible man.
Tianqi glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Today is the day the five great ninja villages declare war on us. I told you all that this time we must regain the glory of the Uchiha clan and reach the pinnacle. For the sake of our clan and to protect our families who support us, we cannot afford to lose."
"Although the enemy is strong, we are not to be trifled with. This time, we will make sure they never return, and show them the true power of the Uchiha clan."
"On the battlefield, I will never allow a single member of the clan to retreat. Even if you die, you must die on the path of slaying the enemy. The Uchiha clan does not tolerate battlefield cowards. Do you understand?"
"We understand!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Very good! Chieftain, I really like your current momentum. As long as you have this momentum, I believe you will be invincible and never be defeated!" Tianqi looked at the group of clansmen in front of him, full of confidence.
