Back home, Tianqi looked at the system's 6,000 points and decided to leave it alone for now.
Let's accumulate some points first.
Five years passed in this way, with training and missions coming and going. Tianqi finally grew up and his strength reached that of an elite Jonin. However, his Sharingan was still at the three-tomoe level. Looking at his remaining 20,000 points and then at the Mangekyou Sharingan in the system shop worth 100,000 points, Tianqi sighed.
It's been five years, why can't I save up my points? Every time I get a few points, I use them to exchange for ninjutsu. Now, I have enough ninjutsu, but my Sharingan is useless. As an Uchiha, my main focus isn't ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu, but dojutsu.
An Uchiha clansman without the Mangekyou Sharingan cannot be considered a true powerhouse.
Just as Tianqi was lost in thought, a voice came from outside the door: "Tianqi, the clan leader is looking for you. You should go there right away."
"Understood," Tian Qi thought about Uchiha Qingyang's purpose in contacting him. He wondered why the old man wanted to see him. He had just finished his mission and was only resting for a few days when this guy came up with something.
As Tianqi entered the guard department and pushed open the door to the meeting room, he saw a dense crowd of people, including several elders. All those present were Jonin; there wasn't a single Chunin or Genin.
"Tianqi is here, please have a seat," Uchiha Qingyang greeted Tianqi as he entered, and Tianqi accepted the invitation without hesitation.
When everyone saw Tian Qi take his seat, no one objected. They didn't dare to object either. The current Tian Qi was not the same as before, and no one could mock him anymore.
As soon as Tianqi took his seat, the Grand Elder smiled and nodded at him. Tianqi nodded in response. After everyone was seated, Uchiha Qingyang spoke.
"I'm sure everyone's curious about why I invited you all here."
Everyone nodded.
"The Second Raikage of Kumogakure has made a desperate gamble, deploying over a thousand ninjas to wage war against our Konoha."
As the clan chief spoke, some of the more short-tempered clansmen began to speak up.
"What! How dare the Second Raikage? The First Hokage gave them tailed beasts and signed a peace treaty with them!"
"Has the Second Raikage gone mad? How many people will die if he rashly starts a war?"
"Without the deterrence of Hashirama Senju and Lord Madara, the peace treaty is nothing. Lord Madara said long ago that only by unifying the ninja world can peace be achieved, but no one listened. Now look what happened!" The elder also spoke up. He was a staunch supporter of Madara and would speak up for him whenever he had the chance.
“Uchiha Madara is a thing of the past, and he has already defected. Now the eldest elder is still speaking up for Uchiha Madara. Do you also want to defect from Konoha?” The second elder spoke up, and the other elders nodded in agreement. They were all moderates and definitely supported the second elder.
"You bastards! You traitors! Do you think you could live in Konoha without Lord Madara?!" The First Elder slammed his fist on the table and shouted.
Hearing the elders' words, people from both factions stood up and looked at each other warily, as if they would attack as soon as the elders spoke.
Tianqi, however, remained silent, simply sitting quietly and watching.
Seeing the two factions on the verge of conflict, clan leader Uchiha Seiyo also spoke up.
"Enough. I have something to tell you this time, not a meeting to discuss the new clan leader. Sit down and let me finish."
Hearing the clan chief's words, everyone sat down.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Uchiha Kiyoyo slowly began to speak.
"Because the Cloud Ninja launched a war, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, issued an order to draw elite ninjas from various clans to gather a thousand men to fight against the Cloud Ninja."
"Everyone, when you go back today, spread the word about this. Except for the genin, all the chunin and jonin will be mobilized. I heard that the Senju clan has also mobilized their entire force. This time, I must demonstrate the strength of the Uchiha clan, overpower the Senju, and gain a voice in the village."
Upon hearing Uchiha Qingyang's words, Tianqi revealed an expression of understanding. No wonder the Uchiha clan was so weak later on. It turns out that you went all out in World War I and World War II, and most of the top fighters died in the war, which is why Danzo was able to control them later.
Uchiha Seiyo turned to look at Tianqi, "As for Tianqi, you are one of the few experts in the clan. I hope you can make a name for yourself in one battle. When you and Jing join forces, our Uchiha clan will surely be able to return to the center of political power."
Tianqi didn't speak, he just nodded. He really couldn't bear to tell Uchiha Qingyang that the Second Hokage would never allow the Uchiha to enter the center of power, nor would he allow the future leader of Root.
After the meeting, Tianqi stopped the Grand Elder who was about to leave, signaling with his eyes that he had something to say. Then the two of them went to the Grand Elder's house together.
Inside the Grand Elder's room.
"Young clan leader, what is it that you have to wait until after the meeting to come to my house to say it?"
"Elder, I hope that the martial arts faction can preserve its strength in this Ninja World War. If we can win, we should fight as much as possible. If we can't win, we should retreat a bit. Let the ninjas from other clans and villages charge forward in risky situations."
"Young Clan Leader, why is this happening? Why should we miss such a good opportunity to make a name for ourselves?" The First Elder didn't understand Tian Qi's words, so he directly asked his question.
"Elder, the Senju clan is the Hokage's direct descendant, so they have to fight with all their might. What about us Uchiha? Why should we also go all out? Do we really have to do what that idiot Uchiha Kiyo said?"
"If we can gain the right to speak by overpowering the Senju, plus me and Kagami, don't be naive. As long as Tobirama Senju exists, the Uchiha will never have a chance to rise to power."
"Since we can't stop Uchiha Kiyoyo from going crazy, we should focus on managing our own people. Preserving our strength is the most important thing right now. Do you understand, Elder?"
After listening to Tianqi's words, the Grand Elder remained silent for a while, then nodded after thinking it through.
"I understand, young clan leader. I will pass this on to others."
Seeing that the Grand Elder had come to his senses, he left. Just as he got home, the Hokage's messenger arrived.
"Uchiha Tianqi, the Hokage wants to see you. Come with me." After saying that, he jumped onto the wall and left, and Tianqi followed.
He ran into Hiruzen Sarutobi as soon as he arrived at the foot of the Hokage Building.
"Hey, Tianqi, you're here too. You've heard about what's been going on lately, haven't you?"
"I just heard that you just got married to Biwako. Instead of enjoying your honeymoon period at home, you have time to come to the Hokage Building." That's right, Sarutobi got married, and to a commoner no less.
Sarutobi scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "This is because the Second Hokage gave the order. I have no choice but to come. Don't argue with the Second Hokage again this time. This concerns the survival of the village. You should know what's important."
Tianqi nodded, "Don't worry, it's fine to joke around with the old man normally, but I know what to do for important matters like this."
Over the course of five years, he met with Tobirama Senju many times, but each time the meeting ended unhappily.
The two pushed open the door to the meeting room and saw a group of experts gathered next to Tobirama Senju, looking at a map of the ninja world and discussing something.
"I'm not late, am I? Everyone in the conference room turned to look at Sarutobi and his companion."
"Monkey, you've come at just the right time, come here quickly," Tobirama Senju seemed to completely ignore Tenki, and simply pulled Sarutobi to the map to talk.
Ignoring Tobirama, Tenki turned around and walked over to the map to look at it.
"Monkey, according to the news from the Anbu, since Kumogakure declared war on us, Iwagakure and Kirigakure have also declared war. The specific reasons are unknown. Right now, the ninja world is in complete chaos. Only the weakest village, Sunagakure, has not participated in the war."
"Isn't this even better? We only need to defend against Sunagakure, and we can fight the Cloud Ninja with all our might. Is there any other problem?" Sarutobi asked with a puzzled look.
“Sarutobi, what I’m worried about right now is Kirigakure and Iwagakure. They’ve only declared war, they haven’t actually started fighting yet. Who knows if they might launch a surprise attack while we’re dealing with Kumogakure?” Danzo answered Sarutobi’s question.
