"How...how did you know?!"
Seeing Jue's shocked expression, Tianqi liked to see him like that. "You don't need to know where he found out. Go and pass on the message." After saying that, Tianqi left the forest.
"This guy, no, I must inform Lord Madara immediately." White Zetsu paused for a moment, then immediately melted into the earth and disappeared.
Upon arriving before Madara, White Zetsu relayed Tianqi's message and the matter of the Tailed Beasts to Madara.
Although Madara was still shocked after hearing White Zetsu's words, he remained unusually calm and silent.
"Lord Madara, are you alright?" Bai Ze asked, seeing that Madara remained silent.
"I'm fine. You go and continue to observe Tian Qi. I want to see just how far he can go," Ban said with a gloomy expression.
"Alright then, Lord Madara," Zetsu said, and then disappeared from Madara's sight.
At this moment, Madara no longer wanted to dwell on where Tianqi got the tailed beast. He realized that Tianqi definitely had a secret, and a big one at that.
One or two things could be a coincidence, but it seems that Tianqi knows everything about him. How is that possible? No one but Jue and himself could know about his affairs, and no one could possibly tell him. He couldn't possibly guess it either. He must have learned about his plan from some secret.
"Tianqi, where did you get this incredible encounter from?" Recalling Tianqi's behavior along the way, Ban felt increasingly uneasy.
Tianqi was unaware that Ban had already guessed he was using cheats. At that moment, he was enjoying a cup of tea in the camp, savoring the last moments of peace before the battle.
"Wow, it's rare to be able to enjoy life peacefully before the war starts," Tian Qi said, crossing his legs, holding a teacup, and leisurely looking at the scenery outside.
"Tianqi, can't you show some respect for war? How can you be so leisurely here when war is about to break out?" Zhan walked into Tianqi's house and glared at Tianqi, who was leisurely drinking tea.
"Relax, Zhan. It's just facing a few major ninja villages. It's nothing serious. Have a cup of tea," Tianqi said, brewing Zhan a cup of tea.
"If I had your strength, I wouldn't be nervous either," Zhan said, downing the tea Tianqi had given him in one gulp. "Ouch, it's so hot!"
"You have to take your time drinking tea. You can't rush things," Tianqi said, pouring Zhan another cup of hot tea.
"Never mind, I'd better go patrol the camp. Drinking tea isn't really my thing," Zhan said, and walked out of Tianqi's residence.
Meanwhile, in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the intelligence report in his hand, his mouth agape in shock. "How is this possible? Has Tianqi gone mad?"
The intelligence report stated that Uchiha Tenki had attacked the four great ninja villages and declared war on them, boasting that he would challenge the major powers on the northern border of the Land of Fire to become the new generation of ninja god. Moreover, the four great powers were already gathering ninjas.
"A madman! This madman! Someone, quickly go and inform the elders and Lord Mito!"
Half an hour later, Danzo and Mito Uzumaki arrived at the conference room in the Hokage Building.
"Does the monkey have something urgent that he called us over so urgently?"
"Mito, take a look at this intelligence report. This matter has really escalated." Hiruzen Sarutobi handed Mito the intelligence report he had previously reviewed.
"Monkey, don't be so hasty. You're the Hokage, don't be so careless..." Mito, who had just received the information and was about to advise Hiruzen Sarutobi, was stunned. "This...this can't be right, has he gone mad?"
Tianqi, what exactly are you trying to do? What is your purpose in doing this? Is it really for the title of God of Shinobi? Mito Uzumaki was completely confused. She knew that Tianqi must have had a reason for leaving, but why would he provoke several major powers at the same time? She really didn't understand.
Seeing that even Lord Mito was so surprised, Danzo and the others also picked up the intelligence report and began to read it. After they finished reading it, they finally understood why Mito was so shocked, and they all began to think about it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked around and, seeing that no one was speaking, he said, "Everyone, what do you think about this?"
"Sarutobi Uchiha Tenchi has gone mad. We must announce to the ninja world that he has defected and has nothing to do with us. We need to sever ties with him immediately!"
"Yes, not only must Sarutobi sever ties with him, but we also need to join the effort to defeat Uchiha Tensei, otherwise we might become targets of attacks from several major nations as well."
Listening to what Momono and Koharu said, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then looked at Danzo and asked, "Danzo, what's your opinion?"
"Me? What opinion do I have? If I were to suggest joining Uchiha Tenki's team to fight against the Four Great Nations, I doubt you would agree. It's best not to ask me anymore," Danzo waved his hand dismissively.
As expected, after hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi rolled his eyes and skipped over him. He really didn't understand why Danzo and Tenchi, who used to be mortal enemies, were now leaning more and more towards Uchiha Tenchi.
"Lord Mito, what do you think we should do?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Mito Uzumaki for her opinion.
"Sigh! Monkey, you are the Hokage, so the decision is yours. I'm getting old, so I won't get involved in the affairs of the higher-ups anymore. You guys discuss it. I'm tired, so I'm leaving now." With a sigh, Mito left dejectedly. Whether it was because she had misjudged Tianqi or because she was truly getting old, she decided to never get involved in the affairs of the Konoha higher-ups again.
"Mito-sama? You..." Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to persuade Mito Uzumaki to stay, but seeing that she was leaving without looking back, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and gave up.
"Sigh, let's summon Orochimaru and the others back to the village to prepare for the battle against Uchiha Tensei." Hiruzen Sarutobi discussed with everyone for a while before adjourning the meeting. From then on, Konoha began to actively prepare for the battle.
Danzo, who had returned to the Root, also contacted Tenchi in his own unique way.
Three days later, Tianqi, wearing an Anbu mask and using the name Sani, arrived at Root.
"I didn't expect you to dare show up in Konoha. Aren't you afraid this is a trap?" Danzo, sitting in his chair in the Root office, looked at the masked man in front of him with a complicated expression.
"A trap? I believe you wouldn't do that, Lord Danzo." Tianqi removed his mask and looked at Danzo with a smile.
"Hmph, you've really stirred up trouble this time. The four great nations, including Konoha, are all preparing to attack you. Tell me, why are they doing this?"
"Hehe, I can defeat several major powers, isn't that exactly what you wanted? When the time comes, I'll go easy on Konoha on the battlefield, and Konoha will secure its position as the number one ninja in the world. Instead of thanking me, you question me, which makes me very sad." Tianqi didn't answer Danzo but instead teased him.
"Hmph, no need to change the subject. Let's not even talk about whether your small force can withstand the attacks of several major powers. Even if it can, do you really think you can win in the end? Just tell us your purpose." He didn't care about Tian Qi's teasing at all. Now he just wanted to know Tian Qi's ultimate goal.
