Meanwhile, all members of the Uchiha clan above the rank of Chunin were mobilized, and a thousand-strong Uchiha squad had arrived at the position assigned by Tianqi, ready to stand by at any time.
When the main force of the Land of Fire arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Ye quietly came to Tenki's side and whispered, "Sir, the clan's troops have arrived at the position you designated!"
"Okay, I understand. Tell the clan leader and the others to stay put and not to act without my orders!"
"yes!"
After learning that his family had reached the designated location, Tianqi discovered that Garuda had disappeared. After searching around, he finally found Garuda at the very front of the main force. At that moment, Garuda was actually working alongside the vanguard, clearing the way, and even with the Hyuga clan members.
Tianqi understood this, since Hyuga was a descendant of Garuda, and it was normal for her to like being with the Hyuga family. However, what surprised Tianqi was that Garuda was with Hinata and Neji, which was quite interesting.
"Lord Garuda, do you think we can win this war?" Hinata Hyuga asked calmly.
"Hinata, be confident! This isn't a question of whether you can win, but how long it will take. With such a powerful opponent, winning is only a matter of time. I believe that after this war, you will undergo a complete transformation!" Garuda was worried about this insecure girl.
Hinata is a good girl in every way, except that she has always lacked confidence. I have told her many times, but she has not changed. This lack of confidence will only hold her back. I can only hope that this war will make her more confident.
"Yes, I definitely will!" Hinata said firmly, but her head was lowered.
Garuda was at a loss for what to do with Hinata. She turned to look at the boy next to her and nodded in satisfaction. It has to be said that compared to Hinata, Neji was a perfect boy. She even saw the shadow of her brother Mandala in Neji.
"Garuda, what are you doing here!" Tianqi approached with a smile.
"I love being with these children!" Garuda was deeply moved as he looked at the two most outstanding descendants of these two people.
"Lord Tenchi!!" Hinata and Neji greeted the veteran Uchiha Tenchi as he arrived.
"Okay!" Tian Qi looked at the two young men who rolled their eyes at him. He didn't have any particular thoughts about them. He used to look down on the Hyuga clan, but ever since he learned that they were his and Garuda's descendants, Tian Qi no longer looked down on them.
"Tianqi and the others are still just a bunch of kids, suddenly facing this kind of war... Please help them!"
Faced with Garuda's request, Tianqi glanced at the Byakugan siblings and smiled. He said calmly, "Garuda, you underestimate them. Perhaps in your eyes they are just children, but don't forget they are ninjas, and Jonin at that, Jonin with ocular jutsu!"
"Too insignificant. A mere Jonin is nothing. A Jonin's strength is not even enough to protect themselves against some powerful people. Without reaching the Kage level, they are still just ants!" Garuda shook his head and said calmly.
Hearing this, Neji and Hinata were at a loss for words. In other people's eyes, being a Jonin might be the goal they strive for their entire lives, but in this person's eyes, they were just ants. However, they dared not refute anything.
They would never forget the unparalleled power that Garuda possessed, who broke into the Hyuga clan's territory and single-handedly wiped out the entire clan a few years ago. However, Garuda was a very good person. Although she single-handedly wiped out the Hyuga clan, she had no hostility towards them. On the contrary, she always spoke up for the Hyuga clan and would occasionally teach the Hyuga clan members. She was a very good person.
It was precisely because of Garuda's favoritism towards the Hyuga clan that Hiashi Hyuga treated her as an honored guest in order to cling to Garuda's coattails.
After hearing Garuda's words, Tianqi, who was about to say something, gave up. He looked at Hinata Hyuga and said calmly, "You are Hiashi's eldest daughter, aren't you?"
"Yes, Lord Tianqi!" Hinata nodded in reply.
"You may be a bit gentle, but I believe you are not as weak as you seem. When it comes to the people you love, I believe you are more aware and courageous than anyone else. If you are a little more confident and work a little harder, reaching the Shadow level in the future will not be a problem!" After saying that, Tian Qi slowly placed his hand on her head and transferred a small part of his power to her.
"This is..." Hinata's eyes widened as she felt the continuous power within her body. She, who was originally only a special jonin, was instantly promoted to an elite jonin.
"Although I can directly elevate you to the Kage level, what comes through others is not truly mine. I have hidden my power within you, and as long as you don't waste it, this power will be enough to support you all the way to the peak of the Kage level!"
"Thank you!" Hinata looked at Tianqi with gratitude. Her talent was limited, even less than that of her younger sister Hanabi. She had always lacked confidence in pursuing Naruto, but now, with this power, she could finally go after Naruto.
After patting Hinata's head, Tianqi looked at Neji, but before Tianqi could speak, Neji said first, "I don't need it. I prefer to improve my strength through my own efforts!"
"Hyuga Neji, son of Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, although you were born into the branch family, I am very happy to see that you have overcome the difficulties of the branch family!" Unlike how she viewed Hinata, she had different expectations for Neji, this descendant of the Hyuga clan.
"You know about me?" Neji was a little surprised to hear that this senior not only revealed his identity but also talked about his past problems.
"Whether it's you or Hinata, I've never stopped paying attention to you, after all, we have a special relationship!"
"Special relationship? I don't remember having any special relationship with you or us," Neji said, looking puzzled.
"That's not important. What's important, Neji Hyuga, is what you think it takes for a person to see further?"
"What else can we rely on but our eyes!"
"No, no, no, what the eyes can see is limited, just like this war. You cannot see the dawn of victory, but I have already foreseen the course of this war. Do you know why I know?"
"Why?"
“Ordinary ninjas are confused and uncertain about the road ahead, but someone like me, who stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world, never cares about the affairs of the ninja world, because I have the ability to change everything. Didn’t you say that you can see further by having eyes? Let me tell you, if you want to see further and go further, you need great power. Do you think you have that power to go further?”
Hearing Uchiha Tenchi's incredibly arrogant words, Neji frowned slightly. "Talking like that is obviously just bragging. Does he really think he's an omnipotent god? I think he's just an old lunatic."
"I don't know about other things, but as for how far I can see, although I'm not as good as you, I believe my path will definitely be longer than yours!" Although Uchiha Tenki looks young, the fact that he is already quite old cannot be changed. The major clans all know his situation. Compared to this old man pretending to be young, Neji is certain that he will definitely live longer and go further than this old man.
Perhaps sensing Neji's thoughts, Tianqi chuckled and said calmly, "Don't be so confident. In the ninja world where human life is cheap, no one dares to say how long they can last except for me. And I doubt you can outlast this old man!"
"Huh? Tianqi, what do you mean? Could it be that Neji..." Upon hearing Tianqi's words, Garuda immediately became excited.
"My eyes can see things that others can't. I saw death energy on Neji, the kind that soars to the sky!" Tianqi said like a charlatan.
"A death aura? You mean Neji...? How could that be!" Upon hearing Tianqi say that the aura of death had already enveloped Neji, Garuda frowned.
Tianqi would never casually say such things, which means Neji will die in the upcoming war.
