The next morning, Zhan lay in bed, looking at Tianqi with a resentful expression.
"Tianqi, this is what you call a warm-up? I'm afraid I'll be bedridden for the next two weeks."
Seeing Zhan complaining, Tian Qi said directly, "You're a grown man, why are you acting like a woman? The illusion I cast on you is meant to help improve your mental strength. Maybe you'll be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan soon."
"Tch, I don't believe you for a second. If you want to take this opportunity to beat me up, just say so. Why make up excuses? If the Mangekyou Sharingan were so easy to awaken, how come you're the only one in the clan who has awakened it now?" Zhan didn't believe a single word Tian Qi said.
"Now that you're so strong, if Uchiha Sen were to invite you back to the clan one day, would you go back?" Zhan asked Tian Qi with a serious expression.
"Don't say such things anymore. Even if Uchiha Sen or his father Uchiha Qingyang came in person, it wouldn't make a difference. Since I've decided to take you away from the clan, I will never go back," Tian Qi said with a straight face. He really didn't like those mild-mannered people who had no strength but insisted on pretending to be gentle.
Moreover, since he was going to be wiped out by Obito and Itachi in the future, he was even less willing to get involved with those guys.
After listening to Tianqi's words, Zhan hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "They're being suppressed so badly right now. After all, they're our own kind. Are we really going to just stand by and watch them be bullied without offering a helping hand?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Qi's expression changed drastically. "Uchiha Zhan! Listen to me carefully. They deserve their current fate. If you want to help them, you must leave our Martial Arts Faction forever. I will not interfere with whatever you want to do with them after that!" With that, he pushed open the door and left, leaving Zhan still pondering on the bed.
"It seems impossible to get Tianqi to agree to this because he's so resistant. If he doesn't agree, the old man definitely won't agree either, and if the old man doesn't agree, the entire martial arts faction won't agree either. Sigh, I'm sorry, I really can't help you this time. Good luck to you." Zhan sighed and shook his head.
As Tianqi walked towards the Hokage Building, he pondered. It seemed that the moderates were under too much pressure and dared not come to him, so they went to Zhan for help. That idiot Zhan really wanted to deal with them. Those short-lived bastards would die if anyone helped them. He didn't know what Zhan was thinking. Did he have his head squeezed in a door?
Soon, Tianqi arrived at the Hokage's office and pushed open the door to see Sarutobi Danzo and two other high-ranking Konoha officials in the office.
When Danzo saw Tianqi enter, he snorted coldly and turned his head away. If there was anyone in Konoha he least wanted to see, it would definitely be Tianqi. Every time he was beaten by Tianqi, he couldn't do anything about it. Isn't that infuriating?
"Tianqi, you're here! Come and sit down," Sarutobi greeted Tianqi warmly, even pulling out a chair for him.
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's enthusiasm, Tian Qi frowned: "Hokage-sama, just say what you want to say. There's no need to be so polite. Didn't you say you'd give me a mission when I got out?"
"Um... that task isn't needed for now. I have some notification for you today, um..."
Seeing Sarutobi stammering, Tianqi said directly, "Just say what you want to say. I've seen all sorts of storms."
“Um…” Hiruzen Sarutobi was still too embarrassed to speak. He turned to look at Homura Mitokado, signaling for him to speak.
Seeing Sarutobi give him a meaningful look, Mitokado Homura instantly understood. He spoke directly: "Given your unauthorized attack on the Land of Earth, which caused significant losses to Konoha, the village has unanimously decided to strip you of your ninja status, remove you from all your duties, and place you under 24-hour surveillance. You are not allowed to leave the village without permission. Uchiha Tenchi, do you understand?"
This decision was made jointly by them. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had always disagreed, Danzo and the others insisted, and the vote was ultimately three to one. He had no choice but to accept it.
"Brother Sarutobi, do you agree to this decision?" He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly.
“I definitely disagree, but the three elders all agree that you should be imprisoned, and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a troubled expression.
"Heh, I understand. I agree to canceling my ninja status and not letting me leave the village, but 24-hour surveillance is absolutely unacceptable." He scoffed at Hiruzen Sarutobi's indulgent and submissive attitude. He also knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was slowly changing, and the old Hiruzen Sarutobi was no more.
"No? This is the decision of the elders. You have no right to refuse. You must be monitored 24 hours a day," Danzo said, standing up directly.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also spoke up: "That's right, Uchiha Tenki, this is a joint decision by the elders and the Hokage, you must obey!"
"Heh, obey? Do you think you're Tobirama Senju? If you want me to obey, show me the strength that will convince me!" Tianqi unleashed his powerful chakra.
A powerful burst of chakra erupted from Tianqi's body. Danzo and the others raised their hands to shield themselves, fearing they would be attacked by Tianqi's chakra. The floor, walls, and ceiling of the Hokage's office were cracked by the powerful chakra impact.
"Uchiha Tenchi! What are you trying to do? Do you know what crime it is to attack a high-ranking official?"
"Uchiha Tenchi, don't be so presumptuous!"
"Tianqi, calm down. If you disagree, we can discuss it further."
While Mitokado Homura, Koharu, and Sarutobi were talking, Danzo remained silent. He was terrified of Tenki and didn't say a word for a moment.
"With your kind of attitude, humph! If you want to send people to monitor me, go ahead. I'll kill one if one comes, and two if two come. You'd better watch yourselves." After saying that, he glanced at Sarutobi, showing a disappointed expression, and then walked out without looking back.
Seeing Tianqi looking at him with disappointment, Yuanfei asked himself, "Did I really do something wrong? But I didn't agree to it either."
Watching the departing Danzo, I had another idea. He has such strength, so maybe I don't need to oppose him. I can try to cooperate with him and have him help me become Hokage. Yes, this is a good idea. I can try it during this time.
"Sarutobi, look at his attitude! If he dares to threaten us here today, he'll dare to attack Konoha tomorrow. We must control him and send someone to monitor him. I don't believe he'll actually dare to make a move," Koharu Utatane said angrily.
“That’s right, Sarutobi, it has to be this way. Danzo, say something!” Mitokado Homura patted Danzo, who was in a daze.
"I have something to do, so I'm leaving now," Danzo said and left without paying any attention to Mitokado Homura.
"Danzo is unreliable at crucial moments. Sarutobi, what do you think we should do about this?" The two men softened their tone after Danzo left.
"Forget about monitoring him. As long as he stays in the village, that's fine. Besides, with his current strength, if we really push him too far, he might actually rebel," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a disappointed look.
"Well... well, that's all we can do for now." When the two heard Hiruzen Sarutobi say this, they also thought of Tenki's combat strength. They almost forgot that this guy was capable of taking on an entire ninja village by himself. If they really pushed him too far, Konoha might become the next Iwagakure.
And so the matter of monitoring Tianqi was left unresolved.
