"Little Sasuke? Is it really my little Sasuke who's back?" Tsunade asked, her hands trembling slightly, as she looked at the man in his thirties in front of her.
"Grandma Tsunade, it's me!" Sasuke also showed his longing after not seeing her for so long. These elders of his were no longer with him, and this was the first time he had seen them in more than ten years.
"It really is my little Sasuke back, it really is!" Tsunade immediately rushed forward and hugged her grandson, the grandson she regarded as her spiritual anchor.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!"
"Grandma missed you so much, Sasuke! You've grown up so much!" Looking at her grandson who had grown so much, Tsunade felt a mix of emotions.
"Welcome back, Sasuke!" Garuda stepped forward and looked at Sasuke with a face full of relief.
"Thank you, Grandma Garuda!" Sasuke stepped forward and gave the grandfather's second wife a big hug.
Seeing the joy of his family reuniting, Tianqi was also very happy. This kind of connection between hearts can only be found among family members. At the same time, Tianqi felt even more guilty. He had the ability but could not protect his grandchildren. He was truly derelict in his duty as a grandfather.
It was at this moment that Tsunade noticed that Sasuke was only moving his right hand, while his left hand seemed to be non-existent. Tsunade frowned, stepped forward, and lifted Sasuke's cloak. Looking at her grandson's missing left hand, she felt a surge of emotion and heartache.
"Your hand... Sasuke, where did your hand go?"
"Grandma, you don't need to do this. This is the price I pay for my sins. I deserve everything. I don't regret it!" Thinking of his partner who had always wanted to take him home, Sasuke felt no resentment, but rather gratitude.
"What do you mean by 'cost'? How could Grandma not be heartbroken if you lost your hand? Why didn't you get it reattached, you child!"
"This is proof of my sins. Some things can never be erased. It is precisely because I am missing a hand that I am constantly reminded that I must be punished for my mistakes. This is my punishment for myself!"
"this……"
Before Tsunade could say anything more, Tianqi stepped forward and interrupted her.
"This is Sasuke's own business, let him do as he pleases!" After comforting Tsunade, Tianqi looked at his grown-up grandson and said with a look of satisfaction, "Sasuke, I'm happy that you can see things clearly. Seeing you like this now, I'm also moved and proud of you. My descendants, the descendants of Uchiha Tianqi, have not become slaves to power, nor have they been overwhelmed by hatred..."
"Grandpa, I'm so proud to have a grandpa like you!" Sasuke looked at his dearest grandfather, hugged him for the first time, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
He gently patted his grandson's back, feeling both gratified and deeply ashamed. His grandson was so sensible, yet he acted like this; he was truly a scoundrel.
"Grandpa, I've come back from the future with a purpose. I need your help; there's a powerful guy who wants to..."
"You don't need to say anything. I already know why you're here. Don't forget, my eyes can see things that others can't!" Tianqi interrupted Sasuke directly. Knowing the plot well, he understood Sasuke's intentions better than anyone else.
"You..." Sasuke looked at his grandfather with some surprise. He once again witnessed his grandfather's power. Not only was his strength extraordinary, but what was even more terrifying was his ability to foresee things. This ability to predict the future was the most terrifying thing.
“Since you’ve come, it means you trust your grandfather. How could your grandfather let you down? The enemy is strong, but he’s no match for me. You don’t need to worry about the enemy who came this time. I will stop him here. But before that…” As he spoke, Tianqi looked at Sasuke’s empty left hand. It was time to make it up to his grandson.
"But what?" Sasuke asked, looking puzzled.
"Take off your shirt!"
Seeing that his grandfather was staring at his left hand and asking him to take off his shirt, Sasuke thought of something, hesitated for a moment, but still gladly accepted his grandfather's care and took off his cloak and shirt.
Looking at the various scars on Sasuke's body, Tsunade covered her mouth with her right hand, her eyes filled with uncontrollable tenderness.
"So many injuries, how much suffering has my little grandson endured!"
Looking at the numerous scars on Sasuke's body, Tianqi felt no pity but instead nodded in satisfaction and said, "Through these things, I can see your rich experiences. Scars are a testament to a man's character, and these scars also prove that you are a qualified husband and a qualified father. Very good, very good!"
Hearing this, Sasuke was slightly surprised again. His deceased grandfather actually knew that he had a wife and daughter. This was truly unexpected.
"However, it's not easy to protect your family if you're not physically healthy. Let me do one last thing for you!" After saying that, Tianqi activated his Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, and his right hand, representing the power of Yang, slowly placed on Sasuke's severed arm.
As the ultimate power of Yang was activated, a brand new left hand slowly grew out of Sasuke.
Tsunade and Shizune stared wide-eyed at the scene, and even Garuda looked on in surprise, as she did not possess such a limb regeneration ability.
Sasuke looked at his newly grown left hand with some curiosity. Although he was a little surprised, he wasn't unexpected. For this most amazing grandfather, things that were abnormal became normal when they happened to him.
After a brief examination, Tianqi frowned upon seeing Sasuke's poor physical condition and said, "Your physical condition is very bad. You have various injuries, including irreversible hidden injuries. It seems you've gone through a battle that drained your energy!"
Thinking back to his ultimate battle with that friend many years ago, Sasuke nodded and said, "Yes, I once fought to the death, squeezing out all the energy in my body. I almost died that time!"
"Just as I thought. The hidden injuries left by such an extreme battle are also enormous. Your physical functions are not what they used to be, and your recovery ability is only half of what it used to be. I think you probably can't even unleash 70% of your strength, right?"
Sasuke thought for a moment and nodded helplessly, saying, "Yes, 70% is too high a figure. In reality, the maximum potential is only 65%. Grandpa, do you have a way to help me?"
"Well..." Faced with this injury, Tianqi stroked his chin thoughtfully, then seemed to have thought of something and said, "These kinds of hidden injuries within the body are generally impossible to repair. Even if there were a way, the recovery period would be more than ten years..."
Hearing this, Sasuke was somewhat disappointed. If even his grandfather said there was nothing he could do, then it really was hopeless. It seemed impossible for him to return to his peak condition.
