"Why did they leave? Was there a problem with what I asked?" Garuda was completely bewildered as he watched Zhan and the others leave.
"Garuda, you can ask me that in private. Don't say it to these Uchiha and Senju clan members!"
"Uh... why is that?"
Shizune and Itachi looked at Tsunade with puzzled expressions, also wanting to know why.
"This Uchiha clan was subordinate to Tianqi's father, and Tianqi's father has always been at odds with the Senju clan. In addition, my grandfather, Senju Hashirama, had an unpleasant incident with them many years ago, so it's best not to mention the Senju clan here..."
"I see. So the Senju clan now..."
"The Senju family has disbanded; one could say they no longer exist!"
Upon hearing this, Garuda immediately understood everything. No wonder everyone had fallen silent when he mentioned the Senju clan earlier; it turned out the Senju family was extinct. He never imagined that his peace-loving second brother, Ashura, would have his lineage nearly wiped out. This was truly...
Soon, Tianqi and the others arrived at a relatively large reception room, and Uchiha Sora immediately asked Tianqi to sit in the main seat.
"Former clan leader, please take a seat!"
"Why should I sit in the main seat? Don't forget, you are the clan leader. You are the greatest and highest leader of the entire clan. Only you can sit in this main seat. Understand? Go and sit!"
Tianqi flatly refused Uchiha Sora and plopped down in the second seat. This move not only upheld the clan leader's authority but also gave Uchiha Sora enough confidence and face.
"Well... alright!" Seeing how much the previous clan leader was praising him, Uchiha Sora didn't refuse anymore.
After the family's senior members took their seats, they gave Tianqi a brief report on the family's situation.
After hearing the general outline, Tianqi also praised everyone without reservation.
"You have all done a great job in growing the clan from a few hundred people to nearly 3,000. Whether it is the clan leader, the elders, or the heads of the various departments, you have all done a great job. I am very happy to see the clan prosper and grow. From now on, I will entrust the clan to you. That concludes today's report. From now on, you can report on the clan's situation to the clan leader!"
"Yes!!!" The crowd didn't say much, just simply replied "Yes."
Then Uchiha Sora waved his hand, and everyone dispersed.
After everyone left, only Tianqi, the five elders, and Uchiha Sora remained in the large living room.
"Zhan, your father is now..."
“My father has passed away, almost fifteen years ago!”
"Is that so? Take me to pay my respects to him!" Tian Qi was not surprised to hear that the First Elder, Uchiha Shin Yang, had passed away. After all, the First Elder was already very old, and it was not surprising that he had passed away. Birth, aging, sickness and death are normal.
"good!"
Uchiha Zhan nodded and led Tian Qi and the others to pay respects to his father.
The ten people, each holding a white chrysanthemum, arrived at the cemetery behind the Uchiha clan's territory. Looking at Uchiha Shin's tombstone, they all offered their own white chrysanthemums.
Uchiha Sora and Uchiha Sen kowtowed three times, and it was at this moment that Tian Qi realized that Uchiha Sora was Uchiha Sen's son.
Looking at the tombstone of Elder Uchiha Shinyang, Tianqi was transported back to those days, as if the support the Elder had given him was just yesterday.
"I never expected that you would leave before I returned. I haven't been able to fulfill my promise to you yet, how could you..." As he spoke, two lines of tears streamed down Tianqi's face.
"Tianqi, try to look on the bright side. Your father is very satisfied with everything you've done for the family, and he even left you a letter!" Zhan said, taking out the letter and handing it to Tianqi.
Tian Qi did not open the letter immediately after receiving it. Instead, he said to the others, "You all leave first. Let me stay with Elder Xin Yang for a while!"
Seeing this, no one said anything more and they all turned around and left.
After everyone left, Tianqi slowly opened the letter and read the words of praise from the Grand Elder. Every word revealed his approval. Tianqi sighed and said, "I never expected that you would still be thinking of me at the very end. How can I ever repay such kindness!"
Tianqi stood in front of the tomb to express his respect for the deceased elder. He stood there for three days without eating or drinking.
Three days later, Tianqi moved into the clan's land, which meant he had completely returned to the Uchiha clan. Zhan also arranged a large house for Tianqi's family.
Back in the Uchiha clan, Tenchi didn't rest. He threw himself into training the clan's ninjas, and Itachi also joined the training.
Days passed by, and soon a year had gone by. Today, Tianqi received important news from Konoha Village.
Xuanyuan Zhong's Beast Path brought an eagle to Tian Qi, took the letter from the eagle's leg, and handed it to him.
Tianqi was instantly delighted after taking the letter and glancing at it, because the letter was from Chiyu in Konoha Village. It said that Chiyu's second child had been born, a boy, and that Tianqi should name the boy.
"Hahaha, I knew this little guy would come. As long as Itachi is here, I'm not afraid you won't come!"
Overjoyed, Tianqi called Itachi over, and they went home together to share the story.
Upon returning home, De Tianqi immediately announced the matter.
"I have good news for you all! Qianyu sent word that his second child has been born, and it's a little boy!"
"What?! Chiba has a second child! That's wonderful! I have a little grandson again!" Tsunade was overjoyed to hear that her son Chiba's second child had been born.
Garuda and Shizune were also very happy, and even Itachi smiled.
"I have a little brother now, that's wonderful! Grandpa, shall we go back and see him?" Itachi smiled broadly; he really wanted to see his little brother.
"There's no need to look. Your training can't stop now. The letter your father sent this time asked me to come up with a name. I don't plan to go back anyway. I'll just choose a name and send it to them before I go back!"
"Oh, I see..." Itachi was somewhat disappointed when he heard that he couldn't go back.
Seeing Itachi's disappointed expression, Tianqi said calmly, "Itachi, don't worry. You and your brother will meet sooner or later, but not now. Your most important task right now is to train, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand..."
"Once you reach my standard of strength, I will let you go back. Don't think about anything else at this stage!"
