Tianqi taught Qianyu and Uzumaki Kushina day after day for three years. During these three years, their strength improved by leaps and bounds. Qianyu's strength directly reached Chunin level and he also began to develop the Sharingan with two tomoe. Uzumaki Kushina was just a little short of that and only had the strength of an elite Genin, but that was already very good.
The Second Shinobi World War ended two years ago, with Konoha emerging victorious. In that same year, the Cloud Ninja, under the guise of an alliance, infiltrated Konoha and kidnapped Kushina Uzumaki, who possessed special abilities. Minato Namikaze, with his blond hair, successfully rescued Kushina, marking the beginning of their true love story.
Chiba and Uchiha Mikoto's relationship also progressed rapidly. Although they hadn't reached the stage of being officially engaged, they were close.
In the 45th year of Konoha, nine-year-old Chiba ushered in his graduation season. Graduation was about to begin, which should have been a happy occasion. However, Chiba was not happy because his grandmother was old and could not hold on much longer.
Tianqi also received news from Danzo that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was to be replaced, and he changed into the clothes with the fan symbol that Madara Uchiha had given him.
"Are you really going, Tianqi? If you go, you might get surrounded by Konoha ninjas. Why don't you think about it carefully?" Bai Jue said with a worried look as he looked at Tianqi, who was changing his clothes.
"Tsunade isn't in the village. If I, as Mito Uzumaki's grandson-in-law, can't be by her side in her final moments, that would be incredibly heartless. Besides, with Danzo as our shield, what is there to worry about?" Tianqi said calmly while straightening his clothes.
"But……".
Before Bai Jue could say anything more, Tian Qi interrupted him directly, "No buts, I've already decided this and I won't change it. If you're afraid of dying, stay in the Root. I don't care if I go alone."
"Well... alright!" Bai Jue knew that Tian Qi was stubborn, and once he made a decision, just like Ban, he wouldn't change it. After hesitating for a moment, Bai Jue decided to go with Tian Qi.
After tidying his clothes, Tianqi walked towards the Hokage Rock. Behind the Hokage Rock was a stone cave, where the ceremony to transfer the Nine-Tails would be held.
"Halt! Who goes there?" Tian Qi had just arrived at the entrance of the stone cave when he was stopped by two members of the Hokage's direct ANBU.
"I am a Root ninja, and I have important business to discuss with Lord Danzo!" Tianqi said calmly to the two ninjas guarding the gate.
"No matter where you are a ninja from, the Hokage has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the cave today. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed on the spot. You'd better leave immediately!"
"But I really need to see Lord Danzo urgently, can't you make an exception?"
"I told you, no matter what happens to you, even if the sky falls, you can't go in!"
Seeing that the ANBU ninja guarding the gate wouldn't let him in no matter what, Tian Qi's lips twitched slightly. These big oafs were really strict in their guarding. Sure enough, the ANBU of Konoha only ever defended their own people. They couldn't guard against outsiders at all!
Seeing that they were about to fight these watchdogs, and with little time left before the Nine-Tails' teleportation, Tianqi pretended to leave and used the Mayfly Technique to teleport with White Zetsu.
As he moved through the crowd, Tianqi glanced at the guards standing watch every ten steps with disdain. No wonder Pain and Obito were able to enter Konoha so easily. With you bunch of idiots guarding it, you're completely useless.
Tianqi arrived at the location quickly. Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others were there. Chiba stood sadly beside Mito Uzumaki, while Kushina Uzumaki, with her red hair, stood nervously to the side.
"I'm not too late after all!" Tian Qi, dressed in a dark blue robe, slowly emerged from the ground. He spoke calmly, reminding everyone of his arrival.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the person, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the group of Anbu ninjas immediately looked at Tenchi with vigilance. Danzo hesitated for two seconds after looking at the face, but immediately realized that it was Tenchi. Yes, Tenchi was not using his original form, but the form he used to teach Chiba. Danzo had seen this form before.
"Master, what brings you here?" Qianyu asked, somewhat surprised, as she looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in the arena.
Tianqi did not answer, but was instead pulled aside by Danzo and questioned in a low voice.
"What do you mean by this? Don't you know your place? Transferring the Nine-Tails is such an important event that it's not your place to participate!"
"What do you mean Danzo means it's not something I can participate in? You should know what happens to the Jinchuriki after the Nine-Tails is transferred. I have no interest in your transfer of the Nine-Tails, but as a direct relative of Mito Uzumaki, can't I come to see her off on her final journey?" Tianqi retorted with a barrage of questions to Danzo.
"This...this...it's not that I can't come to see you off, but your current identity is too sensitive. Couldn't you have discussed it with me before coming?" Danzo didn't know how to answer for a moment. It was indeed a bit unreasonable not to let Tianqi, who was Mito Uzumaki's grandson-in-law, come. But to suddenly appear here like this and act so carelessly was something he had to talk to Tianqi about.
"Discuss? Fine, fine, I'll definitely discuss it with you beforehand next time, okay?" Tianqi said nonchalantly, pretending to discuss it but not really caring. Without Uzumaki Mito, who could sense malice, binding him, he could go wherever he wanted in Konoha Village from now on.
Seeing the people who had suddenly appeared and Danzo talking to each other, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others put away the kunai and greatswords they were preparing to use to attack. As long as they weren't enemies, that was fine.
"Danzo, what's going on? You should know how important today's events are. Letting in an outsider like this is a bit inappropriate. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned as he looked at Danzo. Letting in an outsider at such an important time as changing the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, and judging from the insignia on his clothes, he was a member of the Uchiha clan. This Danzo was simply too reckless. What if something happens to the Nine-Tails?
"Uh... Hiruzen, let me explain, this..." Danzo didn't know how to explain for a moment, and he stammered. He hadn't figured out how to make up a story about letting other people in on such an important and confidential day.
"Alright, let me explain myself!" Tianqi patted Danzo on the shoulder, stepped forward, and looked at the Third Hokage with a face full of wrinkles, saying indifferently, "Brother Sarutobi, it's been a long time."
"Hmm! Who are you?" Hearing this familiar voice and address, Hiruzen Sarutobi was full of question marks. For a moment, he couldn't remember where he had heard this familiar voice before.
