"Trying to run? You think you can escape? Uchiha Tenki, get them! Crush them with all your might!" Seeing that Sasuke and the other two were trying to escape, Danzo immediately ordered Tenki to capture them.
"If there's no problem, I'll crush you...!" Tianqi suddenly changed his tone and directly controlled Susanoo's hand to grab Danzo.
This sudden turn of events left not only Danzo bewildered, but also Obito and Sasuke completely dumbfounded. The reversal was too drastic; how did the target of their crushing suddenly change?
"Uchiha Tenchi, what are you doing? I told you to crush them, not me! Put me down right now!" Danzo struggled, still speaking in a commanding tone, completely oblivious to what was happening.
"Order me? You actually took my act seriously, didn't you, my Lord Danzo!" Tianqi looked at Danzo with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
"How is this possible? You were clearly hit by my eye technique... How could this be?" Danzo finally realized what was happening, but he still couldn't understand how Tianqi, who had clearly been hit, was unharmed.
"Hmph, do you think I can't see through your little schemes? I was on guard against you the moment I first saw you with Uchiha Shisui's eyes. Although Shisui's technique is very strong, I still have ways to deal with it. Originally, if you hadn't used that kind of eye technique on me, I could have saved you out of consideration for our years of friendship. But... what a pity!"
"Is that so? I thought everything was going according to plan, but it turns out the stupidest person was actually myself!" Hearing that Tianqi had already guessed what he was thinking, Danzo was also very disappointed.
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'The higher you climb, the colder it gets'? The higher you stand, the harder you fall. What goes around comes around. Let me see you off on your final journey!" With that, the Heavenly Qi Susanoo tightened its grip on Danzo's hand.
"You'll have to pay for this sooner or later, right? If you do, I'll drag you all down with me!" Danzo said menacingly, pulling open his clothes to reveal the sealing technique inscribed on his chest.
"Not good!" Upon seeing the jutsu seal on Danzo's chest, Obito immediately grabbed Sasuke and hid in the Kamui dimension.
"Boring!" Seeing Danzo's attempt to take them both down with him, Tenki pulled Karin, who was lying on the ground, and hid in his Kamui dimension.
Hiruzen, it's finally my turn. Just like you risked your life to protect Konoha, it's my turn now. You are a leaf bathed in sunlight, and I am a root buried deep in the ground. It's a pity that I still couldn't become Hokage in the end. No matter where I go, I can't catch up with you! In his last moments, Danzo still remembered his former teammate, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Bang!!!" The deadly Reverse Four Symbols Seal exploded. Danzo's final act of self-destruction only sealed a small section of the bridge. In the end, Shimura Danzo, the black hand of Konoha, perished along with a pile of broken rocks. It's truly a sad story.
After the sealing of the Four Symbols ended, Tianqi, Obito, and the others emerged from the Kamui dimension. Looking at Danzo lying motionless on the ground, none of them spoke for a moment.
"It's all over. Go wherever you need to go!" After collecting Danzo's body, Tianqi left with Karin.
Karin followed Tianqi the whole way without saying a word, still unable to extricate herself from the fact that Sasuke had attacked her.
"Why do you think everything will be fine just because you don't talk?"
Where are you taking me?
"You joined Akatsuki after Sasuke's involvement, do you think the people from those big villages will let you off so easily?"
"If they won't let me go, then they won't let me go. I'm not a good person anyway, and the village has never treated me like a human being. I just didn't expect Sasuke to be so ruthless this time. I really misjudged him!" Karin was extremely disappointed when she thought of Sasuke's reckless attack.
“Sasuke isn’t heartless; he’s just temporarily blinded by hatred. Besides, you have a special constitution and haven’t suffered any fatal injuries, right? Believe me, you and the other two are Sasuke’s most capable helpers. Once he gets through this darkest period, he will definitely value you and rekindle your friendship!”
"Friendship? Heh, to put it bluntly, Sasuke only uses us as tools. But I still want to believe in you, and believe that Sasuke can come back and stand shoulder to shoulder with me!" Although she was ruthlessly hurt by Sasuke, Karin still chose to believe in him because she believed that her fate with Sasuke had not yet come to an end.
"Where there is hope, anything is possible. Time will prove everything. But before that, you'll have to wait in Konoha's prison. Don't overthink it; I'm doing this to protect you. Konoha treats its prisoners much better than other villages. And with my connections, the worst that can happen is you'll just have to stay in one place for a while!"
"Oh, okay!" Karin had no choice but to accept it when she heard that she was going to jail. She had no choice but to accept it; she had been arrested and there was no way to disobey.
"Don't be too sad. With the situation so tense right now, I believe you'll be out soon. As for how you get out, that's up to you!"
Hearing this, Karin was completely bewildered. What did she mean by "I won't be out for long"? How could she have to rely on herself to get out? Was she trying to persuade me to sneak out of prison at a crucial moment?
"Lord Tianqi, may I ask you a question?"
"Hehe, feel free to ask me any questions. I'll definitely tell you what I can!"
"Your actions are so strange. I've always been puzzled as to which faction you belong to. You don't seem to be from Konoha, nor do you seem to be from any other country..."
"Which faction are you from..." Faced with Karin's question, Tianqi thought for a moment and then said calmly, "I don't belong to any faction. If I had to name one, I would say I'm from the Uchiha faction. I'm a very simple person. There are only two things I want to protect: the Uchiha clan and my family!"
"Family and clan?" Karin still didn't quite understand.
"Don't be fooled by Konoha Village's reputation as the largest village in the ninja world. Although I've lived in this village since I was a child, my happiest days were spent with my clansmen. With them, I didn't have to be careful around anyone; everyone's hearts were connected..." As he said this, Tianqi looked at Karin, who was still somewhat bewildered, and shook his head.
"Sigh, why am I telling you all this? I'm really getting off topic. In short, I, Uchiha Tenki, don't belong to any faction. I'm only responsible for protecting my clan and family. As for other things, I don't care much. What's the Ninja World War or the destruction of villages? As long as they don't touch my family and clan, I don't care at all!"
"But as far as I know, the Uchiha clan seems to have been wiped out, so how come you..." Karin felt that Tianqi's words were contradictory. The Uchiha clan was gone, so what was there to protect? That was nonsense.
"Hehe, the truth is not what others see. You will gradually understand in the future!" Tianqi didn't want to say much about the family's affairs. Anyway, everything would come to light soon.
