"The Sage of Six Paths? That's just a legend. No one has been able to prove his existence until now. Tianqi, you're getting off-topic." Hiruzen Sarutobi refuted Tianqi's words, and Zhan also nodded, he didn't believe it either.
"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. This world isn't as simple as you think. Okay, I'm full, let's go." With that, he stood up and left.
"Damn! We haven't even eaten yet, and you've already finished it all!" Only after Tianqi left did Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other realize that Tianqi had eaten all the food.
"Let's go, eat our fill and then get some exercise. Let's see if the Hokage's strength has declined, and also check out your current strength," he said, inviting the two who had just finished paying the bill.
"Alright then," the three of them said. Instead of going to the village's training grounds, they went directly to the forest behind Konoha. If they fought in the village's training grounds, they would have destroyed the entire place.
"Sen, you go first. Let me see your current strength. Let's save the fight with Sarutobi for last." He beckoned to Sen directly.
"Then let me test you, the number one Uchiha! Take this!" After saying that, Zhan activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and charged towards Tian Qi.
The two began a physical duel, exchanging punches. With the dynamic vision enhanced by the Sharingan, Zhan and Tianqi were evenly matched for a time.
"Not bad, Zhan. You actually managed to fight me to a draw in taijutsu. I wonder how good your ninjutsu is?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Qi immediately formed hand seals.
"Fire Release - Great Fireball Technique" Tianqi directly used a regular Fire Release technique. With the output of Tianqi's chakra, the Great Fireball Technique visibly grew larger, and the power of the C-rank ninjutsu directly reached the A-rank.
"Impressive, a C-rank ninjutsu can actually be used with the power of an A-rank ninjutsu. However, I am not so easy to handle. Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!" Zhan immediately formed hand seals and released the A-rank ninjutsu Fire Dragon Bullet.
The two ninjutsu clashed, raising the surrounding temperature. The two ninjutsu then canceled each other out, and the two began a taijutsu battle.
"Uchiha Senjutsu is only able to fight against Tenchi's C-rank ninjutsu. It seems that Tenchi's strength has probably reached the level of Kage," Sarutobi analyzed as he watched the two fighting.
"I'm no match for him in ninjutsu, so I'll have to rely on taijutsu." After the ninjutsu exchange, Zhan made his decision.
Seeing that Zhan had stopped using ninjutsu and was instead using taijutsu to entangle him, Tian Qi smiled slightly, "You can't beat me in ninjutsu, so you want to settle things in taijutsu? I'll grant your wish."
Seeing Zhan kick towards him, he seized the opportunity to activate his Kaleidoscope Sharingan and use Kamui Hollowfication.
Zhan Jian smiled as his attack was about to reach Tian Qi. Physical skills were indeed his weakness; at such close range, he couldn't dodge.
Zhan was still pleased that his attack had worked when, in the next second, his foot passed right through Tian Qi's body, as if it hadn't hit anything.
Tian Qi watched as Zhan's foot passed through, then casually grabbed Zhan's foot. "Got you, Zhan, prepare yourself!" He grabbed Zhan's foot and flung him forcefully. Zhan lost his balance in the air and was thrown into the forest, crashing into five trees before coming to a stop.
"Cough cough... What exactly happened just now?" Zhan clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hmm! Zhan's attack passed through Tianqi's body. What kind of strange ability is this? Does it nullify all attacks? He actually has this ability. No wonder he was able to retreat safely after attacking the Land of Earth. However, such a heaven-defying ninjutsu must have a price or a flaw. Sarutobi carefully analyzed and observed.
"Zhan, you thought you could defeat me in physical combat? Well, you miscalculated, didn't you?" Tian Qi looked at Zhan with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to have such amazing ninjutsu. I really miscalculated this time. If you keep using this ability, I really have no chance of winning. If you don't use this ability, I might not lose," Zhan said, still unconvinced. He didn't lose to Tian Qi, but to that strange ability.
"Is that so?" Tianqi looked at Zhan, who was still unconvinced. Blood flowed from the corner of his left eye. "Tsukuyomi!" Tianqi directly released the illusion technique Tsukuyomi.
This technique can pull the enemy's mind into an illusionary space. In the Tsukuyomi world, all factors, including time, place, and mass, are controlled by the caster, and the enemy will suffer immense physical and mental torment within the illusionary world. Anyone who sees Tianqi's eyes will be affected.
At this moment, Zhan finally noticed the change in Tianqi's eyes, but it was too late.
In the illusion space, Tianqi bound Zhan to a cross and created numerous illusions.
"What's going on?" Zhan, who was tied up, was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the numerous phantom clones.
The Phantom Heavenly Warriors remained silent. They directly pierced Zhan's body repeatedly with their ninja swords, causing Zhan to cry out in agony, "Ah! Ah! Ah! What's wrong with the Heavenly Warriors?"
Tianqi in the illusion space said, "Welcome to the Tsukuyomi world. Your three days in this world are just a moment in the real world. That means you still have 72 hours of torture left. Only one second has passed. There are 71 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds left. Enjoy it."
"Ah! Ah! Ah! No! Stop it! I give up!" Zhan surrendered immediately when he heard that he would be tortured for so long, but unfortunately the phantoms did not stop.
In reality, Zhan fainted instantly.
"Huh? What happened to Uchiha Sen? He lost already? He's so weak!" Sarutobi looked at Sen, who had just been talking, and then fainted, completely bewildered.
He then went directly to Tian Qi and asked, "What happened to him? He just fainted like that. His strength shouldn't be less than this, right?"
“He fell for my strongest illusion,” Tianqi said, pointing to his eyes.
"Oh, what a strange pattern. Is this the Uchiha, the legendary strongest Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan? And that strange penetrating ability must also be the power of this eye." Upon seeing Tian Qi's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly understood everything. His teacher, Tobirama Senju, had said that through evolution, each of the Uchiha's eyes would develop different and unique abilities, and the patterns would also be different, hence the name Mangekyou Sharingan.
“That’s right, and this isn’t an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan. Ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan would cause blindness, but mine won’t. These are the same eyes as Madara Uchiha’s, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that will never go blind,” Tianqi said directly to Sarutobi without hiding anything.
"The same eyes as Madara Uchiha? That means your current strength is already comparable to Madara Uchiha's?" Sarutobi said in shock.
"If Madara were still alive, he would no longer be a match for me," he said proudly.
"I see. No wonder you dared to cause trouble in Iwagakure. Let me test you. Just how far have you gone?" Sarutobi threw down his Hokage cloak, revealing the battle armor underneath.
Sarutobi showed no arrogance and immediately began forming hand seals.
"Summoning spell! Come forth, Monkey King!"
