Upon hearing this, Danzo rolled his eyes. He couldn't refute what Tianqi said for the time being. If they could create a large number of such creatures, they wouldn't need to hide here with him.
"Alright, alright, if you want to stay in Konoha, just use the name Sani. I'll take care of your identity. Now get out of here, my men will arrange accommodation for you!" Seeing his dream shattered, Danzo impatiently waved him away.
"I won't say any more, Danzo, thank you!" Tianqi rarely said thank you, then got up and left the office.
"Sigh, that brat, he always has so much to do!" Danzo shook his head with a wry smile as he watched Tianqi's departing figure.
Tianqi and the White Zetsu settled in Danzo's Root. Time flew by, and a year passed. In Konoha Year 32, due to the uneven economic development between nations, the martial factions of various ninja villages rose in power, and the Second Shinobi World War broke out. First, the three great ninja villages clashed fiercely in Amegakure. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade were bestowed the title of the Legendary Sannin by Hanzo in this battle. The year-long war ultimately ended in Konoha's victory.
That same year, the hot-blooded Senju Nawaki died while on a mission with his master Orochimaru. Tsunade was also deeply affected by her brother's sacrifice. Seeing his disciple die, Orochimaru became increasingly prejudiced against the fragility of life.
"I didn't expect that Nawaki would still sacrifice himself. As expected, what's meant to happen will happen. Fate cannot be escaped!" Tianqi sighed as he looked at the intelligence in his hand at Root. He thought that after 32 years in Konoha, Nawaki would not die. He didn't expect that in the end he still could not escape the arrangement of fate. It was all his destiny!
"You weren't around and now your brother has sacrificed himself. Tsunade must be heartbroken. Don't you want to go and comfort her?" Danzo said to Tianqi with a teasing smile.
"Stop messing around. Whether Tsunade believes me or not, she's still in the Land of Rain. How am I supposed to comfort her?" Tianqi rolled his eyes at Danzo, speechless.
Aside from using Sani's identity to help Danzo carry out some small tasks over the past year, he hadn't seen his child even once. To be honest, he was almost frantic with worry. It was such a pity that he couldn't watch his child grow up, but there was nothing he could do since Mito Uzumaki was by his child's side every day.
Tsunade and Mito Uzumaki also named their child Senju Senba. As for why they didn't use the surname Uchiha, they probably didn't want to be associated with the arrogant Uchiha clan. That's probably it. No one knows the specific reason.
"Alas! These are truly turbulent times. The First Shinobi World War has only been over for a few years, and the Second Shinobi World War has already begun. The shinobi world is getting more and more chaotic!" Danzo said with a helpless shake of his head.
"Hehe, Hanzo is indeed a bit overconfident. With his meager strength, he dares to call himself a demigod and wants to establish the sixth great ninja village. That's just wishful thinking. But isn't the chaos in the ninja world exactly what you want to see?" Tianqi squinted and looked at Danzo with a sly smile.
Tianqi knew this guy's personality and temperament all too well. He was eager for chaos in the ninja world, preferably with several major villages fighting and wearing each other down. However, Danzo did not want Konoha to get involved.
"What do you mean this is the result I want to see? Stop talking nonsense! Konoha has lost so much of its fighting strength, this is definitely not what I want to see!" Danzo, who had been hit where it hurt, immediately stood up and denied Tenten's words.
"Of course you don't want to see Konoha being depleted, but other villages might be a different story. Stop spouting nonsense about the ninja world and pretending to be righteous. You're so fake!" After saying that, Tianqi turned and left. Watching Danzo put on this show was really pointless.
Watching Tianqi leave like that, Danzo's lips twitched slightly. "That guy is really annoying. Did you have to say it when you saw through him? But I have to admit, this brat really understands me. He's practically a mind reader!"
In Konoha Year 33, the second year of the Second Shinobi World War, the war shifted to localized battles. The Land of Fire invaded the Land of Wind, and the Land of Lightning invaded the Land of Earth. The four great ninja villages also began fighting each other. Only the Land of Water remained uninvolved. However, Kirigakure was not as peaceful as it seemed. The Third Mizukage, Eiji Hozuki, suddenly changed his personality and began a purge of some of the village's powerful clans. Some of the top clans were gradually eliminated by him.
As the war became localized, the front line was led by Sakumo Hatake into the Land of Wind. Tsunade and Orochimaru also returned to Konoha with a group of ninjas. As for Jiraiya, it is said that he stayed in the Land of Rain to travel.
Konoha held a grand celebration for the ninjas' return. Tianqi, wearing a cat-face mask, watched Orochimaru and Tsunade return from the shadows. "After the brutal baptism of war, Orochimaru and Tsunade, you should have grown a bit by now!"
"Tsunade, you still have a long way to go. You must hold on!" Seeing that there was no smile on Tsunade's face, Tianqi shook his head helplessly. If it weren't for that mission from the system, he could have stayed by his wife and children's side. Unfortunately, there are no "ifs".
Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade, because of Tianqi and her younger brother, threw herself into the village hospital and began researching various medical techniques. It was through this research that she met Kato Dan! He was the purple-haired man in the original story who could use the Spirit Transformation Technique. Perhaps because Kato Dan constantly talked about becoming Hokage, and he resembled her deceased younger brother, she and Kato Dan became close friends.
Tianqi watched Tsunade and Kato Dan walking together every day, and he wasn't jealous at all. Even when Tsunade gave Kato Dan her family heirloom pendant, Tianqi didn't show any expression. The name "Death Pendant" wasn't given lightly. With this pendant, Kato Dan wouldn't be far from death. There was really no need to be jealous over a short-lived person.
In the 36th year of Konoha, the day before the end of the Second Shinobi World War, Sakumo Hatake led the Konoha ninjas to victory throughout the Land of Wind. Chiyo's poison was also cured by Tsunade, who was researching medical techniques. While defending the camp, Sakumo Hatake even killed Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, which foreshadowed the Third Shinobi World War.
Kato Dan, that short-lived man, also died that year. Tsunade received the pendant and the sacrifice of her best friend. She suffered from hemophobia and was no longer able to participate in the war and medical research. Disappointed, she left Konoha with Kato Dan's little niece Shizune, leaving behind her five-year-old Senju Senba.
