"A potential Hokage? Father, how can you be so sure that Naruto Uzumaki is a potential Hokage? What if he doesn't live up to expectations?"
"You're so useless! Naruto is much better than you. Don't look down on him!" Tianqi glanced at Qianyu, speechless. He couldn't understand how his son had the nerve to look down on others.
"Tch!" Hearing her father say that, Qianyu turned her head to the side, clearly unwilling to admit that he was a disappointment.
"Itachi, are you confident you can stop your Garuda grandma without being discovered?"
"Um... stopping them should be barely possible, but not being discovered is truly impossible!" Itachi shook his head and said.
"I see..." Seeing that Itachi couldn't do that yet, Tianqi stroked his chin and started thinking. As for Qianyu, he didn't have any hope at all. Of the three of them, Qianyu was the weakest. He couldn't rely on Qianyu.
After some thought, Tianqi had an idea. He instantly activated his Rinnegan, and the power of time stopped Garuda's time. While Garuda was unable to move, Tianqi used his space-time eye technique to lock her up.
"Done! Without Garuda, Konoha's only hope is Naruto Uzumaki. Hehe, Tsunade is really under a lot of pressure this time!" Tianqi grinned mischievously as he looked at the slugs crawling around.
"Father, the pressure on Mother from this slug healing technique is immense. Shouldn't we go out and help?" Qianyu looked at the slugs and was very worried about his mother's condition.
"How can I help? Do you expect me to go down and tear those puppets apart with my bare hands? Stop talking nonsense. This is my chance to repay Danzo's kindness. Once I've repaid the debt, I won't owe him anything anymore. This time, I can only ask your mother to suffer!"
Seeing that Tianqi was unwilling to help, Qianyu and Itachi could only silently pray for Tsunade.
Just then, several puppets vanished instantly, and Pain's "Super Shinra Tensei" was activated. In an instant, Konoha was completely destroyed. At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki returned from Mount Myōboku.
A battle between Sage Mode Naruto and Six Paths of Pain has begun.
Watching Naruto Uzumaki fiercely battling Pain, Chiyu secretly marveled, "He's truly remarkable! This Naruto actually possesses the strength of a high-ranking Kage. To have such power at such a young age, his future is truly promising!"
Tianqi looked at the surprised Qianyu and simply chose to ignore her; there was no point in wasting his breath talking to her.
"This Naruto Uzumaki is indeed not simple, but judging from his appearance, his actual strength should not be that high. I think he used some kind of technique that can instantly increase his strength!" Itachi analyzed some important things while watching the battle.
"Hehe, Itachi is smart. That's right, Naruto's strength is not yet at that level. As far as I know, Mount Myōboku, one of the three great holy lands, has a technique that can instantly increase strength. That technique seems to be a Sage Technique. And as Jiraiya's student, I guess Naruto has also gained the approval of those toads and trained in Sage Technique!" Although Tianqi didn't want to pay attention to Qianyu, he still explained to Itachi.
"Celestial arts? What kind of art is that?"
"Sage Techniques can't really be considered techniques; it's just a general term for another way of using energy. Ordinary ninjas refine their chakra through their bodies and minds, while Sage Techniques are activated by the natural energy that exists in the earth—that is, Sage Chakra. If someone who acquires Sage Chakra can control this chakra, they can enter the so-called Sage Mode. In this chakra-supported mode, a person's sensory abilities and the power of their ninjutsu can be increased several times over, which is somewhat abnormal!"
"I see. It seems that Naruto Uzumaki used Sage Mode to gain such power. But Grandpa, such a powerful Sage Technique must have many drawbacks, right?" Itachi asked the question he had been thinking about. In his eyes, there was no perfect technique in this world.
"Of course, there are significant drawbacks. Apart from the people of the three holy lands, it's practically impossible for anyone else to learn this kind of sage technique that can boost combat power several times over. Those who can master it are truly chosen by heaven. As for its drawbacks, if a cultivator cannot control the sage chakra, then death is all that awaits them. Sage chakra is not a docile thing!"
"It's all or nothing, no wonder it's so powerful. It turns out it was earned by risking one's life. It's no wonder that Naruto Uzumaki was able to succeed in his training. But it's worth it to have this kind of strength after training. It just doesn't seem like it will last very long."
"Sage Chakra is drawn from the earth, and people can't reliably draw on natural energy during battle. I reckon Naruto is in trouble as soon as Sage Mode disappears!"
As Tianqi spoke, Naruto's Sage Mode was deactivated, and he began to be counterattacked by Pain. Fortunately, he had already eliminated the other five Paths, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.
However, at that moment, Tianqi led Qianyu and Itachi away from watching the battle and headed towards a hidden Root base outside the village.
After arriving near the base, Tianqi said to the two of them indifferently, "I'm going to see Danzo now. Since you two have special identities, you should hide in my space-time for a while!"
"Father, we really don't know why you insisted on dragging us over here when the fighting over there is so intense. We want to see it even if you don't!"
Without listening to Qianyu's nonsense, Tianqi unleashed his divine power and directly put the two of them into a space-time continuum.
"So much nonsense, I don't know if it's because I'm getting old, all this drivel is so annoying!" After cursing Qianyu a few times, Tianqi crossed the earth and went directly down to the underground base. He found Danzo's location and headed there.
Upon arriving at the location, Tianqi saw Danzo pacing back and forth, looking preoccupied.
"I didn't expect the enemy to be so strong this time. I really don't know if those guys can hold them off!"
"If you're worried, why not send someone out to help? Wandering around here isn't like you, Konoha's Root!"
Upon hearing Tianqi's voice, Danzo immediately felt relieved and his earlier worry vanished completely.
"I knew you'd been hiding in the corner all along. You couldn't possibly not be there when Tsunade was in danger!"
"Oh, you were just worried about this and that, but now that I'm here, you seem to be relieved?" Tianqi revealed himself and sat down on the table in front of Danzo.
"Although the invading enemy is very strong, I believe that with your strength, dealing with those guys will not be difficult. With you as my guardian, what do I have to fear!"
