"Who would flatter you! Since no one in the village believed me when I came back this time, I had no choice but to come to you. You know my child was born and I don't want to leave Konoha, so I'd like to stay here for a few years and find a reasonable place for me to stay. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Tianqi said slowly.
Danzo's lips twitched upon hearing this. "You make it sound so easy, saying you'll stay for a few more years? You really think this is your own home? This shameless guy is definitely Uchiha Tenchi, no doubt about it." "Hmph! You make it sound so simple. What good will it do me to do this?"
"What benefits? Haven't we been cooperating all along?" Tianqi said, glancing at Danzo's speechless expression. He realized that it wouldn't be right not to offer some benefits after seeking refuge with Danzo. Tianqi touched his nose sheepishly and said, "Ahem, well, I won't just eat and drink for free. You can give me any difficult tasks as a way of repaying your kindness in taking me in."
"Can you really do it with your current strength?" Danzo looked at Tianqi with suspicion. He believed that Tianqi had the ability, but this person was not the real Tianqi. Danzo was very skeptical of his abilities.
"I can do it even without the word 'ma'. Don't think that just because I changed my body, my strength has increased by one-tenth. If we really fight, you might not be my match now!" As he spoke, the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared in Tian Qi's eyes.
Danzo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the three-tomoe Sharingan in Tianqi's eyes. With a three-tomoe Sharingan as a foundation, his strength was at least at the Jonin level. Having a Jonin to help him was a good deal for him. "Well, in that case, you can stay at Root. Oh, by the way, you're not very strong right now, should I arrange some teammates for you?"
"Who do you think you are! You can keep your trashy subordinates. No matter how weak I am, I am still stronger than your subordinates. Besides, I didn't come back alone this time!" Tianqi retorted angrily when he heard Danzo say that he was not strong enough and that he should arrange teammates for him.
"Oh? You mean those white guys came too? Bring them here so I can see them!" Danzo was intrigued by the bonus item. The intelligence report did indeed say that Tianqi was with a group of white people. He had almost forgotten about it – what a careless mistake!
"They're right here, White Zetsu, come out!" With Tian Qi's command, eight White Zetsu emerged from the ground.
"These are your white subordinates? They don't look like much, and their strength varies!" Danzo looked around White Zetsu and found nothing special. He looked at Tianqi speechlessly.
"Heh, not so great? Danzo, you're so short-sighted. They've been hiding right next to you for half a day and you didn't even notice. How dare you say they're not so great?" Tianqi looked at Danzo with disdain. It had only been a few years since they last met, and he really didn't know where this guy got his confidence from.
"You mean they've been here the whole time? That can't be right?" Danzo had always thought these white men were hiding outside and had just used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping obstacles) to get in. He didn't expect Tianqi to say that they had been here the whole time and that he hadn't even noticed their presence. If that's true, then these guys' hiding skills are amazing.
"Tch, what else do you think it is? And their abilities are not limited to this. Absolutely transform into his appearance to open his eyes!" Tianqi rolled his eyes at Danzo and pointed at him, ordering Bai Jue.
When Tianqi asked them to transform into the likeness of Shimura Danzo, the White Zetsu did not hesitate and immediately all transformed into Danzo's appearance, instantly creating eight identical Shimura Danzos in the office.
"Heh, it's just a mere transformation technique, what's there to brag about!" Danzo looked at the eight versions of himself appear with disdain. Even kids at the ninja academy know this kind of transformation technique; it's really nothing special.
"Is that so? Take a closer look!" Tian Qi said, giving Bai Jue a look. Bai Jue immediately understood what Tian Qi meant and began to form hand seals.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!" White Zetsu spat out a wind ball that instantly shattered a nearby stool.
Danzo's eyes widened, not because he was surprised by the power of the ninjutsu, but because he realized that this guy could use his ninjutsu. Moreover, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the chakra of the guy in front of him was exactly the same as his own. If he weren't the real Danzo Shimura, he would have suspected that he was an imposter and that the people in front of him were the real Danzo. "This...this...!"
"Hehe, don't be too surprised. Come on, White Zetsu, transform into Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and show him!" Seeing Danzo's shocked expression, Tianqi smiled and had the White Zetsu transform again.
Upon hearing this, the group of White Zetsu transformed once again, becoming the likeness of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Instantly, the eight Danzo Shimuras in the arena became eight Hiruzen Sarutobis.
"Hi! Hi! Hiruzen! How is this possible!" Danzo's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared at the eight Hiruzen Sarutobi figures before him. These people were exactly like the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, even their chakra was the same. It was outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
This series of actions completely baffled Danzo. Looking at Tianqi, he began to doubt again. If he could even make his chakra look so similar, could this Tianqi also be a fake? But that doesn't make sense either. This Tianqi's eyes and mannerisms are exactly the same as Tianqi's. What the hell is going on?
"Alright, stop being so suspicious. You don't need to doubt that I am Uchiha Tianqi. Hurry up and arrange a place for me to stay!" Tianqi could see that Danzo was confused, so before he could speak, Tianqi confirmed his identity again.
After a moment of stunned silence, Danzo decided to trust his initial feeling. This person was definitely Uchiha Tenki. He immediately lowered his pride and came to Tenki's side, asking ingratiatingly, "Tenki, why didn't you say you had such a subordinate sooner? Tell me quickly where you found such talent. I want to recruit a few of you too!"
"You still want to recruit a few more? You're dreaming! These people were all created by me, and the materials used to create them are no longer available in the entire ninja world. So stop thinking about them!" To dissuade Shimura Danzo from his plans, Tianqi directly stated that the White Zetsu were his creations and could not be replicated.
"I see!" Danzo was initially excited when Tianqi said that these white people were his creations. He thought that if he could create a large number of these white people to conquer the ninja world, he would have a chance to unify it. However, Tianqi's next sentence, "There is no more creation in the ninja world," brought him down from his high position. It was all for nothing. However, Danzo still asked, "You don't mean you don't want to tell me, so you just said you had the materials, right?"
"Lying to you? You're overthinking it. If I could create a large number of these creatures, I would have gone somewhere else to be a mountain king long ago. Why would I be hiding here with you?" Tian Qi lied without batting an eye. He could create the White Zetsu with the Ten-Tails in its original form, but he didn't need to use White Zetsu to fight on the battlefield, so creating such creatures was completely unnecessary. Besides, he had no way to create the original form and put it into a deep sleep, so it couldn't be a lie.
