Tianqi waited in the woods outside Konoha for a short while before the other White Zetsu returned. "Looks like Mito Uzumaki didn't relentlessly pursue you!"
"Hehe, we're not good at fighting, but we're top-notch at escaping. By the way, Tianqi, Uzumaki, and Mito are stuck in Konoha Village, so we can't move around freely at all. Where should we go next? How about we go back to Madara's base?" White Zetsu chuckled and then asked Tianqi where to go next.
"Go back? What's the point of going back! If I go back like this, he'll laugh me to death. Anyway, I'm not going back no matter what!" Tian Qi rejected Bai Jue's idea without thinking twice.
"If we don't go back, where are we going to go next? We can't just stay in this dilapidated forest forever. We don't care, but you..." Bai Jue's meaning was clear: we have no problem, but you are a powerful figure, can you tolerate being stranded in this dilapidated forest like this?
Tianqi understood Bai Jue's meaning perfectly well. Staying in the forest outside Konoha was indeed not a good thing, but where else could they go? That was a big problem. Damn it! It was like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs. They were actually driven out by a woman. They were right at their own doorstep but couldn't even enter. What kind of situation was this?!
"That's right, I can go find him! His base is a good place to go! Jue, come with me into Konoha!" After walking a few steps in the woods, Tianqi thought for a while and suddenly thought of someone.
"Tianqi, where are you taking us? Don't go looking for trouble! Mito Uzumaki is still in Konoha. She'll sense us as soon as we enter Konoha!" Seeing that Tianqi wanted to enter Konoha again, Bai Zetsu quickly reminded him.
"Hehe, don't think of Mito Uzumaki as so powerful. She can't maintain Nine-Tails Mode forever unless she doesn't want to live. I'm very familiar with Nine-Tails Mode. Without the power of the Nine-Tails, her perception range is limited. Besides, I won't be entering the center of Konoha Village this time. I'll just be wandering around the perimeter. Anyway, you'll be fine following me!" After saying that, Tianqi used the Ephemeral Technique to sneak into Konoha Village.
White Zetsu, looking helpless, followed Tian Qi and used the Mayfly Technique to infiltrate Konoha. There was nothing they could do; they were now working for Tian Qi, and wherever he went, they had no choice but to follow. Moreover, Madara had ordered them to follow Tian Qi to the death, so even if he was going to his death, they had no choice but to go.
Soon, Tianqi led White Zetsu into Konoha Village and arrived at the edge of the village. Looking at the small, dilapidated house in front of him, Tianqi's thoughts immediately returned to several years ago. "Lord Tianqi, Danzo, I'm back!"
That's right, Tianqi came to Root to find Danzo. If he wanted to move around Konoha safely, he could only rely on Shimura Danzo, who was an elder of Konoha, to make things happen.
Meanwhile, Danzo was in his Root office looking at the documents in his hand. Without Koharu and Homura, he never imagined things would get so complicated. It was one thing for the major ninja villages to be stirring up trouble, but now even Hanzo from Amegakure was starting to act up. How infuriating! It seemed that the Second Shinobi World War was only a matter of time!
"Yo! Danzo's brainstorming again?" While Danzo was still thinking, Tianqi led a group of White Zetsu directly to Danzo's side.
"Huh!!! Who is it!" Danzo was startled by the sudden voice. He immediately drew his kunai for defense, but when he saw the person's face, he was stunned. "Uchiha Tenchi? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be..."
"Are you trying to say I should be seriously injured and lying in bed at home? Come on, I've heard that all day, no need to remind me here. I know my own condition," Tianqi said, plopping down in Danzo's chair with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Seeing this, Danzo put away the kunai he was holding. He squinted his small eyes and asked, "Today I received news that someone impersonated Uchiha Tensei and caused a scene in Tsunade's delivery room at the hospital. If I'm not mistaken, that person was you, right?"
"That's right, it's me. Why don't you believe I'm Uchiha Tianqi?" Tianqi smiled as he watched Danzo put away his kunai. He knew that Danzo had a unique way of thinking and his views were definitely different from others.
"Does it matter whether I believe it or not? You've really got some nerve coming here. I have hundreds of ninjas outside. Aren't you afraid I'll take you down on the spot?" Danzo looked at Uchiha Tenchi with a half-smile.
Upon hearing this, Tianqi stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Danzo, saying, "No, no, no, I know you too well after cooperating with you for so long. Even if you, Shimura Danzo, knew that I wasn't Uchiha Tianqi, you wouldn't kill me because I'm very useful to you. With your personality, anyone who is useful to you is your friend, no matter who they are or what their identity is, let alone me, who is the real Tianqi! Am I right?"
After hearing his words, Danzo was about 50% sure that the person in front of him was Tianqi. However, given his personality, he would never completely trust someone. He pulled up a stool and sat down opposite Tianqi, asking, "Tell me, what's going on with you?"
"Well, I was seriously injured and was taken back to Konoha by Tsunade and the other two. While receiving treatment from Mito Uzumaki in Konoha, I used my last bit of strength to transfer my consciousness into this body. Do you believe me?" As he spoke, Tianqi looked at Danzo again. He wanted to see if Danzo would believe such a bizarre story.
"Oh, I see!" Danzo nodded, stroking his chin after hearing Tianqi's explanation.
"You actually believe what I said? You know, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others didn't believe me before!" Tianqi was also a little surprised that Danzo actually believed him. This guy was indeed different from those Konoha ninjas.
"Why shouldn't I believe you? I'm not like those fools like Hiruzen. I have my own judgment on right and wrong. Don't you even believe what you're saying?" Danzo squinted at Tianqi again. It was impossible for him to completely believe it; at most, he would only believe half of it.
"As expected of the leader of Root, you have truly made me look at you in a new light!" Tian Qi couldn't help but applaud Danzo. There was a reason why Danzo was able to thrive in Konoha. It was all about his unique ideas. He deserved to be half Hokage. As for why he was half Hokage, those who know, know.
"No need to flatter me here. Tell me why you came to see me this time!" Danzo rolled his eyes at Tianqi. If he only had a 50% chance of believing that this person was Tianqi before, he now had a 70% chance of believing it. It was simply because the person in front of him looked too much like Tianqi.
