Danzo had also suspected Tenchi about Zetsu, but later, according to intelligence, Zetsu seemed to be a Grass Ninja, and there were indeed traces of Zetsu among the Grass Ninja. Thus, the matter of Zetsu was dropped, since it was normal for Tenchi to recruit several Grass Ninja as his subordinates.
"Xi, let's begin!"
"Yes!" Xi immediately understood what his Raikage meant and began to use his senses to locate Sasuke.
"There's no need to kill him. If we capture him and interrogate him properly, we might be able to get information about Akatsuki!" Mei Terumi said calmly.
"The Akatsuki members won't leak secrets; they're all stubborn guys!" Gaara knew the Akatsuki members very well; they were a group of people who would fight to the death and would never surrender.
"Chongjie, Riku, immediately order the pursuit of Sasuke and enter the second battle stance!" Mifune ordered his two subordinates beside him.
"yes!"
At that moment, Nozomi successfully located Sasuke Uchiha.
"Lord Raikage!"
"Kigiri's One-Eyed Guardian, keep an eye on the Hokage. Hii and Darui, let's go!" Seeing that Hii had found Sasuke's location, A instructed Ao of Kigiri before raising his fist to punch through the wall.
Just as Ai threw a punch, Tian Qi suddenly appeared in front of him and caught the powerful punch with one hand.
Seeing that this person had still stepped forward, Ai frowned and asked calmly, "Lord Tianqi, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to stop me?"
"I'm not trying to stop you, nor am I against you dealing with the Akatsuki, but Sasuke is my grandson after all, so I should explain things to him!"
Uchiha Tenki jumped out. How could Onoki let such an easy opportunity to make trouble pass by? He said with a displeased look, "What's there to explain? It's nothing more than not wanting to see your grandson being bullied. You clearly want to protect Uchiha Sasuke. In my opinion, you probably made a deal with Akatsuki today, didn't you?"
"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak. Today you're here as one of the Five Kage, so I'll give you some face out of respect for being one of the Five Kage. Don't make things difficult for yourself. Onoki, you're not qualified to try and make a name for yourself here!"
"Hmph!" Seeing that Tianqi seemed angry, Onoki didn't bother to argue with him anymore, and turned his head away with a cold snort.
So it was him! It was at this moment that Mifune finally realized who this young man was—it was none other than Uchiha Tensei, who had once inherited the name of the Shura of the Ninja World.
"Although the Tsuchikage's words were a bit excessive, they weren't entirely unreasonable. Lord Tenchi, you wouldn't actually want to protect Uchiha Sasuke, would you? Don't forget he's already defected from Konoha and joined Akatsuki!"
"Don't get excited, Ai. It's hard not to feel a little reluctant to see your grandson right in front of you. But as I said before, I'm not stopping you from dealing with the Akatsuki. Since all five Kage are here today, there are some things I need to do to defend Sasuke!" Tianqi said as he slowly walked up to the five Kage.
"Excuse me? I'd like to hear how you're excusing yourself!" Ai gave Tianqi, this senior, some face and sat down again.
"I am from a neutral country. Now that someone has invaded this place, I think I should be able to make a move, right?" Mifune, the former ninja world's tyrant, gave him some face and asked casually.
"Of course, this is your territory, please do as you please!" Tenki did not stop the samurai from Mifune.
"Good!" Seeing that he hadn't been stopped, Mifune glanced at his subordinate beside him, who immediately understood.
"Enter second combat stance, locate the intruder Uchiha Sasuke, and send the third squad to the tower entrance to establish a defensive line!" Mifune's subordinate, Rikkaku, relayed the order using something resembling a pager.
"clear!"
Danzo squinted at Tianqi, wanting to see what this guy was up to.
"Alright, seeing how anxious you all are, I'll get straight to the point. Although the Akatsuki has a lot of talented people, almost half of them have perished. Just over a month ago, the Akatsuki leader, Zero, also died during his invasion of Konoha. It's fair to say that the Akatsuki has almost no one left to use!"
"Heh, no one else available? Don't forget they've already collected all eight tailed beasts. You know better than anyone the destructive power of those eight tailed beasts. And didn't you hear what the Hokage said? The manipulator of Akatsuki isn't the one in the open, Zero, but Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara is supposed to be your father, Uchiha Tianqi's father, right? How do you explain that?" Onoki crossed his arms. As Tianqi's number one hater, he wouldn't let any opportunity slip by.
"I don't want to say much about Madara Uchiha. I believe I know better than anyone whether Madara is dead or not. I would never associate with someone who abandons his wife and children. Even if he were standing right in front of me, I would never stand with him!"
"Hmph, all talk and no action. He's your father, so you can say whatever you want to us now. Today you stopped us for your grandson Sasuke, but tomorrow you'll stand in front of us for your father Uchiha Madara. We don't believe a word you say!"
Onoki's words resonated with most of the people present. Indeed, who could guarantee that a father and son wouldn't join forces? Once some things were brought up, they could become dangerous. Everyone immediately looked at Tianqi, and even Ai and Danzo were somewhat skeptical.
Tian Qi was embarrassed by Onoki's constant sabotage. Although Onoki's words were harsh, they were also quite reasonable. For a moment, he couldn't find a reason to refute them. Isn't that infuriating?
Seeing Uchiha Tenchi fall silent, Onoki said even more smugly, "They say that like father, like son, they fight side by side. It seems you can't refute me for that, can you?"
"Refute? Why should I refute you? I, Uchiha Tenki, have my own principles. Why should I explain anything to an ant like you?"
"Hehe..." Seeing that he had gained an advantage over Uchiha Tenchi for the first time, Onoki chuckled and stopped talking.
Anyone can see that Uchiha Tenki has a problem now. He doesn't even need to say it; the Five Kage have already begun to suspect him.
Seeing the suspicious looks on the faces of the Five Kage and Mifune, Tenki nonchalantly raised his right hand, glanced at it, and said calmly, "You really think I can't prove myself, huh? Onoki, you're getting more and more naive as you get older."
"Actually, proving myself is very simple, just like this!" Tian Qi raised his right hand straight in an instant, and the power of time was activated, freezing everyone present.
The followers who wanted to protect him were all frozen in place, still holding their weapons. This time, Tian Qi did not stop time, but used the power of time to freeze everyone present. Except for being unable to move, everyone could still move their eyes and mouths.
