"Grandpa, what exactly is the Rinnegan? Why do you have it, and so does the leader of Akatsuki?"
Qianyu was also curious about this question, and he immediately pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
"I just gave you those eyes, didn't I already answer that question?" Tianqi said ambiguously, without giving a definite answer.
"The answer? Um, this..." After listening to his grandfather's words, the already intelligent Itachi understood everything instantly after thinking for a while.
Compared to the clever Itachi, Chiyu looked completely bewildered and asked, "Father, stop beating around the bush and just tell us directly. We can't understand you at all!"
"I think you just didn't understand. Look at your stupid brain, you deserve to be tricked. Ask Itachi if he understood!" Tianqi was speechless as he looked at his son who didn't understand.
"How can anyone understand something so vague? Itachi, tell me, did you understand?"
"Uh... I actually understood it..."
Hearing his son explain, Chiyu felt as if he had been slapped in the face. Itachi's words were a direct insult to him. So, still unconvinced, Chiyu asked, "If you understand, tell me what happened?"
"Um..." Seeing that his father was a little angry, Itachi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking his mind.
"Here's the thing, since Grandpa has the Rinnegan and the eyes he just gave me belong to the Uchiha ancestors, my idea is that the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan is the Rinnegan. Grandpa, am I right?"
“Absolutely correct. Even Itachi understands this. You’re so old and you don’t even understand this. How can I entrust the family to you, Qianyu?” After confirming Itachi’s guess, Tianqi was disappointed in Qianyu again.
"Father, I will definitely consider it carefully next time..." As she spoke, Qianyu glared fiercely at Itachi. Was this the kind of thing a son would do, showing such disrespect to him?
Itachi shook his head apologetically. He didn't want to say it either, but his grandfather insisted. He had no choice; they were both his elders, and he couldn't show favoritism to either of them.
The three men walked and talked about various things, leisurely making their way towards Konoha Village. When it got dark, they would use Wood Release to build a small house to rest, seemingly in no hurry at all.
Tianqi and Qianyu were not in a hurry, but Itachi, as a junior, finally couldn't contain his anxiety after advancing for three days.
“Grandpa, Father, we are being far too slow. Since we knew in advance that Konoha was in danger, why didn’t we go to Konoha and tell them beforehand?”
“Itachi, you are already a dead man to the people of the ninja world. You should be concerned about your clan, not Konoha. Konoha can survive without anyone. You are not as important as you think. Besides, this is a tribulation for Konoha. The reason we are going slowly is only to protect your grandmother, and also to fulfill the promise between Danzo and me!” Tianqi said slowly.
"A promise with Danzo? Grandpa, how could you have a promise with someone like Danzo?" Itachi frowned when he heard about Danzo.
"Hehe, don't be prejudiced against Danzo. Although Danzo is not a good person, he is much better than those scoundrels who do things behind people's backs. After experiencing more, you will find that people like Danzo are not scary. What is scary are those hypocrites. They are the real deadly knives. I believe you have a deep understanding of this, so I don't need to say more!"
After hearing Tianqi's words, Itachi and Qianyu fell silent. Others might not understand what he meant, but they, who had been poisoned by the hypocrite, understood it even more now.
"I'll say it again: helping is fine, but don't get caught up in it. The waters in Konoha are incredibly deep. Even if you do get caught up, you'll have to wait until those old guys are all gone. Only when they're all gone can there be true fairness!" Tianqi said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The four major scourges of Konoha are Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura. The first three have already been dealt with, and now only Danzo Shimura remains. It seems we need to take care of this guy as soon as possible.
As Tianqi and his two companions slowly approached Konoha, Nagato Uzumaki, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, was also planning an attack on Konoha. He had already sent Konan to lead him towards Konoha.
After traveling for five days, Tianqi and his companions finally arrived at the outskirts of Konoha Village. By this time, Konoha Village was already in chaos, with signs of destruction everywhere and thick smoke billowing out in bursts.
The three of them hid nearby and watched the situation in Konoha, shaking their heads and sighing repeatedly.
"A mere few puppets have caused Konoha such embarrassment. Konoha is getting weaker and weaker!" Qianyu shook his head repeatedly as he looked at the situation.
"Without top-tier experts to support us, it will be really difficult to deal with someone who invades Konoha in a timely manner, especially a strong person like the leader of Akatsuki. Konoha is really in danger this time!" Itachi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. He knew the strength of the leader of the organization all too well. Apart from his own family's few strong members, no one in Konoha could match the leader of the organization.
"Hmph, they are usually afraid of being threatened by top experts, but when there is real danger, they still need strong people to stand up for them. It's a pity that Konoha Village no longer has any top experts..." As soon as Tian Qi finished speaking, a powerful force shot into the sky.
It turned out that Garuda, the hidden powerhouse, had made her move. She tore one of Pain apart with her bare hands and then engaged in battle with the other Pain.
"Wow, Garuda's mother is really powerful! She took on two puppets by herself and even tore one apart with her bare hands. Amazing!" Qianyu was also surprised as she watched her stepmother display her incredible power.
"What's so strong about her? Isn't it just causing trouble by jumping out at this time? She's already wiped out the enemies, so how are the others supposed to train? Isn't this just nonsense?" Tian Qi frowned as he looked at Garuda.
"Others? Who's going to get training? At this point, they're lucky if they can even keep their lives!"
"The training is, of course, for the top experts of the new generation!"
"Top-tier powerhouses of the new generation? Father, don't be ridiculous. There are no top-tier powerhouses among the new generation. Do you think I don't know whether there are any powerful newcomers or not!"
"You know nothing! You've been away from Konoha for so long, and the kids in Konoha have already started to rise up, especially Sasuke's generation. They're slowly growing up!" Tianqi said indifferently. Qianyu had no idea how powerful Sasuke and Naruto were.
"Grandpa, the training you mentioned refers to Naruto Uzumaki, right?" Through a brief conversation, Itachi immediately guessed that it was Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
“Smart. As a potential candidate for Hokage, this battle is also a training opportunity for Naruto. This is a battle belonging to the Hokage system!” Tianqi explained to Itachi calmly.
