Danzo could tolerate it, but his brain-dead subordinates might not.
Upon hearing Tianqi insult Danzo, the two idiots immediately stood up, angrily drawing their kunai swords and pointing them at Tianqi, shouting.
"How dare you speak to Lord Danzo like that! Are you courting death?!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Qi shook his head helplessly.
"The Root ninjas these days are getting more and more unruly. I just don't understand why you guys are jumping out when your leader Danzo hasn't said anything. Who gave you the courage?"
"Tianqi, can I kill them?"
"Hehe, since Lord Danzo hasn't said anything, that means he agrees. Do whatever you want!" Seeing that Danzo remained silent, Tianqi nodded and agreed to Garuda's actions.
Seeing that Tianqi had agreed, Garuda immediately stood up, and green and white chakra appeared and transformed into two hands. In an instant, the large chakra hands grabbed the two Root ninjas and held them tightly in their hands.
"You two dogs dared to jump out even though your master hasn't said anything. Didn't you see I was just listening from the sidelines? Do you even know what rules are? If you don't, I'll teach you a lesson today!"
"Aaaaaah!!!" As Garuda's chakra hand tightened, the two Root ninjas let out painful screams.
Hearing his subordinates' cries of pain, Danzo finally couldn't sit still any longer and shouted loudly at Tenchi.
"Enough, Tianqi. There's no need for you to show me your skills. I've never doubted your power. They're just ordinary ninjas. Let them go!"
"Hehe, since Elder Danzo has spoken, I'll definitely give you face. Garuda, release them!"
"You better behave yourself, you hear? If you dare to do it again, no amount of persuasion will work. Next time, I'll make sure you all bleed to death!" Upon hearing this, Garuda immediately released the two of them and withdrew her chakra arm. However, she still left behind a harsh threat.
Watching Garuda retract her arm, Danzo felt a mix of emotions. He hadn't expected that the woman beside Tianqi would have such strength. If he had such a subordinate, the position of Hokage would be easily within his grasp. What a pity!
"Tianqi, I don't want to waste words with you. Just one question: are you coming to help me or not?"
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but the time isn't right yet. With the Third and Fourth Hokage here, what do you have to compete with them? It's not that I look down on you, but although your Root is very strong and has a large sphere of influence, do you really think you have a chance of winning against the Hokage's lineage?"
"As long as you help me, these things won't be a problem at all. I believe that even if those two Hokage join forces, they still can't be your match. I can even bring your son over. With the Root and Anbu working together, taking the Hokage position will be a piece of cake. Once I'm Hokage, I can give your family the highest level of treatment and privileges. You, Uchiha Tenki, will be second only to one Hokage. If you want to be on equal footing with me, that's something to consider. With such generous terms, I don't believe you have any reason to refuse!"
"Sigh, if you had told me these things decades earlier, I would have definitely launched a coup with you. But now... alas, it's all too late!" Tianqi sighed helplessly.
If Danzo had said this to him when he was in his twenties, he would definitely have chosen to fight Danzo. It's just a pity that Danzo didn't have the strength or courage at that time. Now Danzo has grown powerful and ambitious, but Tianqi's mind has long since changed.
He's thinking about his grandson's future and his family now. He no longer cares about Danzo. With his current strength as the strongest ninja in the world, he can have anything he wants. It's just that everything has come too late.
"Heh, so you're saying you're refusing? I really didn't expect to be rejected even with such a high price. It seems you, Uchiha Tenchi, have really gotten old and are no longer what you used to be. I really misjudged you!"
Seeing Danzo's appearance, Tianqi was slightly stunned. His thoughts returned to his twenties. Back then, he was abandoned by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and other high-ranking officials because of his attack on Tsuchikage Village. It was Danzo who approached him and gave him enough power and status. In fact, Danzo had treated him quite well. He felt bad about giving up on Danzo like this.
"I, Uchiha Tenchi, will never forget and will never forget the kindness you showed me back then. I am not an ungrateful person. I will repay your kindness tenfold. Here's what I'll do: I will definitely help you become Hokage. In addition, I can also promise to help you eliminate someone. Anyone is fine, and I can eliminate them without anyone noticing, including the Hokage of Konoha!"
Upon hearing this, Danzo, who had just been angry, immediately recovered. He hadn't expected Tianqi to offer such a generous reward. These two guarantees were quite substantial. He had never doubted Tianqi's ability to become Hokage, and he believed in Tianqi's strength; otherwise, he wouldn't have offered such good treatment before.
"Are you sure anyone can clean up for me?" Danzo asked, still somewhat skeptical.
"Of course, since I dared to promise you, I can certainly do it. You don't need to have any doubts!"
"Does this include your son, Uchiha Chiyu?"
"Um!!!……"
Upon hearing his son Qianyu's name, Tianqi was stunned for a moment and frowned. Everything was just as he had thought. Qianyu, who held a high position in Konoha Village, had ultimately blocked the path of these politicians and become an obstacle for these old foxes.
Danzo looked at Tianqi with a meaningful gaze, deep in thought. His biggest obstacle right now wasn't the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, nor the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but rather the powerful Anbu chief, Chiba Uchiha, who was aligned with the Hokage lineage. He could use schemes to take down others, but Chiba Uchiha was far too strong, and with Tianqi as his backer, he was his biggest worry. If he could take down Chiba Uchiha, the road ahead would be much easier.
"Are you sure you want me to get rid of Qianyu for you?"
"Of course, he's seriously blocking my way. Of course, I know you wouldn't lay a hand on your own son. You can either persuade him to stop blocking my way or take him away from Konoha. It's up to you to choose..."
"Is that so? You even gave me a choice. Consider this a token of our respect for you today. However, I will not choose either of your options. Since Qianyu has chosen to board the ship of Konoha, he should be prepared. If you dare to board the ship, you should be prepared to fall off. Paying a price is fine. Do whatever you want to him. I will not interfere in his affairs!"
After a slight hesitation, Tianqi still did not choose the path offered by Danzo. Going through Danzo would also let Qianyu know that Konoha was not so easy to infiltrate. As for whether Qianyu would be in danger, he was not worried at all.
Even if no one in Konoha Village could capture Chiyu, and even if he were captured and paid with his life, Tianqi could still pull him back from the underworld. So what is there to worry about?
