"Hehe, don't worry, he can't escape my grasp. Besides, you're here. With you as my insurance, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"It's always better to be careful. By the way, what did Danzo say?"
"That old guy is still the same as before. I told him that I wanted to send the Third Hokage away, and he immediately said he wouldn't interfere. He's incredibly obsessed with the Hokage position!"
"That old guy is still the same as ever, but that's fine too. Everything is ready, and we're just waiting for the competition the day after tomorrow!"
Two days passed quickly, and the third day brought the final one-on-one competition of the Chunin Exams. When Tianqi arrived at the stands, he saw the Sound Sand Ninja and others who had already sneaked in.
Orochimaru's loyal fanboy, Kabuto Yakushi, disguised himself as an ANBU ninja and sat quietly at the back of the stands. He merely nodded at the later-stage mini-boss, Tenchi, before finding an empty seat and sitting down.
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi sitting on the high platform and Orochimaru disguised as the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Tianqi also looked on with amusement.
It's interesting that this master and disciple are sitting together in a different capacity. Even with his own disciple sitting right next to him, nothing happened. Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're getting old. Let's hand over the new era to the new generation.
With the Hokage taking office, the final eight matches of the Chunin Exams began, and everything was exactly the same as the original story.
Quarterfinal Matchups
Match 1: Naruto Uzumaki VS Neji Hyuga (Naruto Uzumaki wins)
Second match: Kankuro vs. Shino Aburame (Kankuro forfeits, Shino Aburame wins)
Match 3: Temari vs. Nara Shikamaru (Nara Shikamaru forfeits, Temari wins)
The fourth match was between Sasuke Uchiha, who arrived late, and Gaara.
Tianqi watched his grandson Sasuke fight Gaara and nodded slightly, saying calmly, "Compared to when I last saw Sasuke, his strength has indeed improved a lot in the past few months, but it's still far from enough!"
As Gaara enveloped himself in sand, Sasuke's attacks became ineffective. At this moment, Gaara prepared to unleash the One-Tailed Shukaku.
Seeing this, Tianqi shook his head speechlessly. "That brat is just a brat. This sand sphere makes it impossible for the enemy to see his movements, but it also makes it impossible for our own side to see them. I wonder when Shukaku will come out. How are Maki and the others supposed to know what signal to send? These Sand Ninja brats are really messing around."
As Sasuke charged forward with Chidori, Gaara's supposedly absolute defense sand sphere was directly pierced by Sasuke, and the release of Shukaku's One-Tail was completely interrupted.
"Those kids from the Sand Village are really unreliable!" Tianqi shook his head slightly upon seeing this.
Just then, feathers suddenly floated down from the sky. Tian Qi frowned slightly as he watched the feathers fall. This was the illusion technique Nirvana Abode. They were already making their move before Shukaku even appeared.
As the spectators in the stands fell asleep, smoke from a smoke bomb rose from the high platform where Hiruzen Sarutobi was positioned.
At that moment, the ANBU ninjas lying in ambush nearby rushed toward the high platform. Tian Qi, not watching, used a teleportation technique to appear directly on the high platform and block the ANBU ninjas who wanted to come to support him.
At that moment, Orochimaru quickly arrived behind Hiruzen Sarutobi and locked him in a throat lock.
"I'm counting on you to keep the people outside out of reach!"
"Don't worry, they can't get here. Focus on dealing with your enemies!" Tianqi said, drawing an ordinary knife to face the charging Anbu.
At this moment, Orochimaru's four subordinates also raised the Four Purple Flame Formation, trapping Hiruzen Sarutobi inside.
Tianqi swiftly dispatched the Dark Guard members who wanted to help, as easily as chopping vegetables.
It was at this moment that the Sound Ninja, who were lying in ambush on the outskirts of Konoha, used the Summoning Jutsu to summon Orochimaru's hundred-meter-long, three-headed snake. The enormous body immediately threw Konoha into chaos.
The villagers began to evacuate in various ways. Faced with this sudden situation, the people of Konoha Village seemed to have no power to resist for a time.
After Tianqi killed dozens of ANBU ninjas, there were no enemies around him. At this moment, Tianqi turned his attention to Kakashi and Might Guy, who were counterattacking, and rushed towards the two of them.
With the appearance of Tianqi, Kabuto, disguised as an Anbu member, and a group of Sound Ninja also stopped.
"Go deal with the others. These two are not people you can beat. Leave them to me!"
"Yes, sir!" Kabuto and the others retreated without hesitation and ran off to other places.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake and Konoha's Blue Beast Might Guy, let me be your opponent. Come on, let me see just how strong you really are!" Tianqi beckoned to the two of them.
"Kakashi, I'm not going to worry about you anymore, I'm going first!"
"Kai, don't be impulsive!"
"Konoha Power Whirlwind!" Might Guy spun around and kicked out.
However, Tian Qi easily caught this kick that could shatter rocks. Holding his foot with one hand, Tian Qi said calmly, "Not bad in strength, but the speed is still a bit lacking!"
After saying that, Tianqi grabbed Matt Kai's foot and threw him away.
After being thrown off balance, Might Guy frowned as he felt the places where his feet had been gripped. He said, "Kakashi is no ordinary person; he's a formidable opponent!"
"I told you to be careful, why were you so impulsive?" After giving Kai a disdainful look, Kakashi revealed his Sharingan and frowned slightly as he looked at the person in front of him. He didn't know why, but this person always gave him a very dangerous feeling.
Just as the two were frowning and observing, Tian Qi, with his absolute speed, appeared in front of them and grabbed them by the neck.
"You have no time to think when facing me!" With that, Tianqi threw the two of them off the stands, where they crashed heavily onto the competition field.
"Bang! Bang!" The two sudden sounds startled Maki and Genma Shiranui, who were fighting in the arena.
Tian Qi, who was in the stands, also jumped down. After landing, he looked at Ma Ji and the other person and said calmly, "Kids, make room. I'll take these two!"
"Who are you? Why are you talking so arrogantly?" Maki asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Maki, get out of the way! I'm taking on two elite Jonin by myself, isn't that awesome? You're getting entangled with a Special Jonin here, how can you be so shameless?"
"Uh... you're a Jonin from the Sound Ninja, right? Fine, I'll give you the spot. Konoha nobodies, come with me!" Seeing that the other party was a formidable Sound Ninja who could take on two elite Jonin single-handedly, Maki didn't care about losing face and directly gave the spot to this formidable person.
Genma Shiranui, who was able to hold off Maki, a veteran elite Jonin, did not want to give up, so he immediately followed.
