“Come out, I know you can hear me,” Mito Uzumaki shouted to Tenki.
Upon hearing Mito's words, Tsunade and the other two looked at Tianqi lying on the bed with tense expressions. The fact that they could enter Tianqi's body silently without them noticing meant that these people were definitely not simple.
However, after waiting for several minutes without seeing anyone come out, the three of them looked at Mito Uzumaki with puzzled expressions. Could it be that Lady Mito had misjudged him?
Seeing that those people still didn't want to show themselves, Mito Uzumaki couldn't help but speak up: "Why don't you just show yourselves? Do you want me to drag you out myself?"
After Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out, "As expected of Mito Uzumaki, you are truly amazing, managing to detect our presence."
Upon hearing the sudden sound, Tsunade and the other two tensed up immediately, and Mito Uzumaki squinted at Tianqi.
Tianqi's body slowly began to wriggle, and a pile of white objects slowly emerged, eventually forming ten white figures. These ten white figures formed a circle around Tianqi, each raising their hands towards him and continuously supplying him with life energy.
Looking at the ten white-clad figures that had appeared, Mito Uzumaki could clearly sense a strong life force emanating from them. She frowned and asked, "Who are you people, and why are you here to help Tianqi?"
"Hehe, we don't need to tell you who we are. You just need to know that we are here to help Uchiha Tianqi. As for the rest, we won't tell you even if you ask," a White Zetsu said with a smile.
"Help? Hmph! I don't believe there's such a thing as a free lunch. You'd better tell me your purpose, or you won't be leaving Konoha today," Mito Uzumaki said with disdain upon hearing the white-clad man's words. She didn't believe these people had no ulterior motives.
Seeing Mito's words, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru formed a triangle formation and surrounded the ten white-clad figures.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The ten White Zetsu were surrounded by three elite Jonin and a Kage-level ninja. They were immediately caught in a dilemma. The strongest among them was at most a regular Jonin, while the rest were all elite Chunin. It was impossible to force their way out. It seemed that they could only continue to talk their way out.
The ten White Zetsu exchanged glances. The White Zetsu who had spoken earlier spoke again, "You don't need to threaten us here. You should know that if we die or leave, your chances of saving Uchiha Tenki will decrease. I think we should all calm down."
As expected, upon hearing White Zetsu's words, Tsunade and the other two immediately stopped their attack. Indeed, without these people, Tian Qi's life would be in danger.
Mito Uzumaki cursed inwardly, "How cunning!" She had hoped to extract some useful information, but it seemed impossible. Then she said, "In that case, you should at least say something to convince me. If you suddenly interfere during my treatment, we'll be in big trouble. So you'd better show some sincerity, otherwise I can't trust you."
At this moment, White Zetsu spoke up again, "You don't need to worry about this at all. We will obey our masters 100% and my master greatly admires Uchiha Tenki. He would never harm Uchiha Tenki."
"The person behind you?" Mito Uzumaki asked, puzzled. Although she had guessed that they had someone behind them, they sounded more like an organization. When did such an organization appear in the ninja world? Things seemed complicated.
White Zetsu continued, "That's right, it's our master behind us. He's the one who sent us to support Uchiha Tenki. And we've received the latest news from our master. He said that if Uzumaki Mito can't heal Uchiha Tenki, we will forcibly take him away. Our master has a way to save his life."
Upon hearing White Zetsu's words, Tsunade immediately became excited, "You mean, the master behind you can heal Tianqi?"
"That's right, my master is omnipotent. He can heal Uchiha Tenki's minor injury in no time," White Zetsu said, starting to boast about Madara.
Just as Tsunade was about to continue speaking, Mito Uzumaki stopped her, saying with a disdainful look, "A minor injury? Hmph, you guys are exaggerating too much. The injury damaged the very essence of his body. Even I could barely keep him alive, let alone provide a perfect cure. You're clearly lying if you claim you can heal the very essence. Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"Heh, if you don't believe me, let us take Uchiha Tenki away and see if my master can cure him," Bai Jue said with a cold smile as he looked at Uzumaki Mito.
"Hmph! Taking Uchiha Tenki away is one thing, but I don't trust you at all. You should continue to maintain his life energy here. We don't need outside help. I have my own way of healing him." Upon hearing that Tenki was to be taken away, Uzumaki Mito refused without hesitation.
"Whatever you want, we're not in a hurry anyway," Bai Jue waved his hand dismissively.
Bai Jue was in a hurry, but Tsunade was anxious. She took her grandmother's hand and whispered, "Grandma, why do you refuse them? Tianqi's situation is not optimistic. Since they have a way, why don't you let them try?"
Mito Uzumaki flicked Tsunade's head and looked at her granddaughter with a serious expression. "You silly girl, you're just worried. We don't even know who they are. How can we easily hand Tianqi over to them? And don't worry, Grandma has a way to save Tianqi's life."
"Is that so? Then Grandma, hurry up and save Tianqi, don't delay any longer," Tsunade urged her quickly upon hearing that her grandmother had a solution.
Seeing Tsunade's haste, Mito Uzumaki shook her head helplessly. "Alright, Tsunade, don't worry. I'll make some preparations and start the treatment right away." With that, Mito Uzumaki closed her eyes.
To be honest, she had no way to help Tianqi in this situation, but she knew there was someone who could definitely cure him, so she closed her eyes and her consciousness entered the spiritual space. That's right, the person she was looking for was Nine-Tailed Fox.
Mito Uzumaki arrived at the cage where Kurama was imprisoned. Just as she was about to speak, Kurama directly refused her, saying, "You don't need to come to me. I will never help you humans."
