"Isn't it incredible?" Danzo said calmly, holding his teacup.
"It's truly unbelievable. I never expected that the once-powerful Senju of the Forest would leave Konoha. It's quite a surprise!" Putting down the intelligence scroll, Tianqi looked at Danzo and had some thoughts in his mind.
The reason why the Senju clan disappeared from people's sight in the original work has always been a mystery. It turns out that they moved away from Konoha Village. However, even if they moved away, there should still be traces of them in the ninja world. But the Senju clan in the original work completely disappeared from the ninja world. Considering Danzo's visit here today, it seems that Konoha's shadow is behind the disappearance of the Senju clan.
"What's so surprising? The Senju clan invested too much manpower in the two Shinobi World Wars, and not only did they not achieve any results, they also lost a lot of high-end combat power. Now that they have no backing, it is normal for them to want to leave Konoha!" Danzo explained slowly.
"Without a backer, you came here today for more than just to tell me the Senju family is leaving, right?" Tianqi squinted at Danzo. Although he had a rough idea, he still needed to confirm it carefully.
"Of course, why would I personally make the trip for something like this? But Konoha isn't a place where anyone can come and go as they please. Tianqi, you understand what I mean, right?" Danzo's lips curled into a strange smile.
Just as I thought, Konoha Village is really going to take action against the Senju clan. Tianqi looked at Danzo and asked, "What does our Third Hokage mean? Has he agreed to let you take action?"
“The Senju clan is, after all, the founding clan of Konoha. Hiruzen couldn’t refuse their request to leave. As for taking action, although he didn’t say it explicitly, he tacitly approved it. You know what kind of person Hiruzen is. There are some things he can’t do openly, so I have to do them!”
"I didn't expect him to agree. It's really ruthless to attack your own teacher's family. But why did you come to see me today? I can't help you with this. After all, it's Tsunade's family. If I were to make a move against them, it would be a bit... inappropriate!"
Before Danzo could say anything, Tianqi directly refused. If he hadn't married Tsunade, the Senju clan could have killed him, but now the Senju were, after all, the Senju clan of Senba's maternal grandfather, and were relatives in the end, so there were some things he really couldn't do.
"You're being too lenient! I never said I wanted you to help me. Konoha doesn't need another Jonin like you!" Danzo was speechless when he saw that Tianqi had refused him outright.
"Huh? You didn't come to ask me for help? Then what are you here for?" Tianqi was also very confused when he heard this. If you didn't come to ask him for help, why would you give him information about the Thousand Hands? He really couldn't understand it now.
"After all, you are the son-in-law of the Senju family. I came to see you this time hoping that you won't jump out and stop us when we make our move!" Danzo said while drinking tea, observing Tenki's expression as he spoke.
"Me, stop you? Heh, you're completely overthinking this. What the Senju family has to do with me? If it weren't for Tsunade's connection, I wouldn't even give the Senju family a second glance. Go ahead and do it, I guarantee I'll just stand by and watch without doing anything!" Tianqi said with a look of disdain.
He genuinely disliked the Senju clan, that traitorous family, whose members were all acting like they had bubbles in their heads. Even after he married Tsunade, his attitude towards the Senju clan remained unchanged. He could ignore the moderate Uchiha clan members, let alone the Senju clan, with whom he had little connection.
"That's good. I thought you would object. You don't even care about your wife's family. Now it seems you're quite ruthless!" Seeing that Tianqi didn't seem to be lying, Danzo was immediately relieved. Although Tianqi only had the strength of a Jonin, he definitely had some trump cards. If he hadn't agreed, this matter would have been difficult to handle. Fortunately, he agreed.
"All crows are black, and even my teacher's family can be touched. When it comes to ruthlessness, I can't compare to you two good disciples of Tobirama Senju!" Hearing Danzo's slightly sarcastic words, Tianqi immediately retorted with a sarcastic remark.
"Hmph! The Senju clan should not leave Konoha during this period!" Danzo snorted coldly, picked up the scroll on the table, got up and left. He really didn't want to bring up the matter of his mentor, Tobirama Senju, after all, it was really not very honorable to attack his mentor's clan.
Watching Danzo come and go so quickly, Tianqi's lips curled up slightly. "Little brat, when it comes to talking, whether in the past or now, Danzo, you will never be my match. Trying to sarcastic remarks? Let's see if I can't hit your sore spot!"
After mocking Danzo, Tianqi looked at the teacup on the table and thought about the Senju clan. It was ironic that the Senju clan, one of the founding clans of Konoha, was ultimately destroyed by Konoha. He wondered what Tobirama Senju would think if he knew that his clan was destroyed by his own disciple.
Thinking of Tobirama Senju, Tianqi also thought of the old man from the martial arts faction. "If the Grand Elder knew that the Senju of the Forest, which he hates the most, was going to be wiped out, he would probably jump for joy. It's been so long since I've seen Zhan and the others. I wonder when I'll be able to go find them."
Tianqi had long wanted to visit the small world to see the people who had fought alongside him, but unfortunately, the small world was created by him using his Rinnegan, and now that he couldn't use his Rinnegan, no one could open the passage to the small world, including Tianqi himself.
"Forget it, there's no use thinking about this. I can go find them sooner or later once my main body recovers!" Tian Qi shook his head and dismissed the distracting thoughts.
The next morning, after Chiyu and Kushina went to school, Tianqi went alone to a small clearing in the woods behind the mountain to wait for Chiyu and the other two to come and be tested by the ninja leader.
As for why Tianqi knew that the ninja leading the team would come to this small open space in the back mountain, it was entirely because of Qianyu's team leader, Jiraiya. Yes, that white-haired, lecherous sage. He returned from the Land of Rain half a year ago, and his teaching of those three brats in the Land of Rain had long since ended.
Upon Jiraiya's return to Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly assigned him three genin: Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and Chiba Uchiha. Indeed, after returning to his clan, Jiraiya restored Chiba's Uchiha surname, since Uchiha was his true surname, and it wouldn't make sense for him to keep using the Senju clan's name.
This open space behind the mountain is where he first met the Sannin, and also where Hiruzen Sarutobi first met the Sannin. Jiraiya would definitely choose to bring the three little ones here.
Thinking of the three brats, Tianqi's face also turned strange. Uzumaki Kushina was often brought back by the blond brat. Tianqi had seen that blond Minato Namikaze before, and his strength was definitely that of an elite genin.
"With the strength of a Chunin named Senba, plus an elite Genin like Minato Namikaze and an ordinary Genin like Kushina Uzumaki, even the lecherous Jiraiya would be in for a big mistake if he dared to underestimate them. This is going to be a good show!"
Tianqi found a large tree and hid on it, quietly waiting for Jiraiya and the others to arrive.
