"Good eye, but this shouldn't be happening to you right now!" Tian Qi swung his right hand, and the wooden vine lashed out, striking Itachi directly.
With just one strike, Itachi's clothes were torn open, and red vine marks were deeply imprinted on his body.
Although it hurt a lot, Itachi gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to give up.
"There's no point in persisting!" Seeing that Itachi was still stubbornly holding on, Tianqi controlled the vines and kept whipping him, as if to say, "If you don't give in, I'll beat you to death."
Itachi's shirt was quickly torn to shreds, and his upper body was covered with vine marks.
The onlookers were also very distressed to watch this scene, especially Tsunade, whose hands were clenched tightly in tension. At this moment, she also felt that Tianqi had gone a bit too far.
"Hoo hoo hoo, Grandpa's level is not enough at all, go harder!" As he spoke, Itachi's three-tomoe eyes twitched slightly.
At this moment, Tianqi also felt a strange sensation in his body. He looked at Itachi and narrowed his eyes slightly. So he used genjutsu on me? I didn't expect that even at this time he would still be thinking about counterattacking. Itachi, Itachi, is returning to Konoha making you so persistent? Since that's the case, I'll give you a weakness.
Thinking of this, Tianqi took advantage of Itachi's lack of awareness and left behind a clone to leave his current location.
"Still dare to talk back!" Tianqi's clone immediately tried to control the vines to continue lashing at Itachi.
However, at that moment, a flaw suddenly appeared in Itachi's eyes, and without any hesitation, Itachi immediately took action.
"Grandpa, you were careless. My chance has come!" A kunai appeared in Itachi's sleeve and he burst out with power. The kunai directly severed the Wood Release that bound his limbs. After landing, Itachi pushed off with both legs and rushed towards Tianqi, quickly forming hand seals with one hand.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique!" A fire dragon tens of meters long suddenly appeared and attacked Tian Qi, while Itachi rushed after the fire dragon.
"Hmph, boring ninjutsu!" Tianqi's clone shook his head speechlessly, and six black rods appeared in his hand, which he threw directly at the fire dragon.
The half-meter-long black rod extinguished the fire dragon and rushed towards Itachi behind, piercing Itachi's heart with a soft thud.
But just as the black rod pierced Itachi, Itachi instantly transformed into dozens of crows and disappeared.
"Oh, it's a combination of illusion and clone, the Raven Clone. That's quite interesting!" Tian Qi watched with great interest as Itachi transformed into a crow and disappeared.
After the weasel disappeared in the form of a crow, five more weasels emerged from the nearby woods, each wielding a kunai. Upon seeing this, Tianqi released Chidori with his right hand, which extended and transformed into a sharp Chidori spear, and began his attack.
The Thousand Birds Spear swept through the area, quickly eliminating the weasels. However, after the weasels disappeared in the form of crows, five new weasels rushed out again, only to be quickly killed by Tian Qi once more. This cycle repeated itself, and even Tian Qi's clone was getting annoyed. If it weren't for his main body wanting to give his grandson a way out, he would have already broken through this annoying illusion. But now, he could only deal with it slowly.
"Damn it, this is so annoying!" Tormented by Itachi's illusion for so long, the clone Tianqi got impatient and immediately put his hands together and clapped them lightly.
"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!" Countless tree trunks rose from the ground and attacked Itachi, who kept coming out. The tree trunks attacked Itachi as soon as he appeared, and this continued to repeat.
Tianqi's main body, who had withdrawn from the battlefield, watched the battle below with a smile, nodding in satisfaction and saying, "Not bad, not bad at all. This kind of illusion technique that simultaneously affects both oneself and the enemy is really good. It constantly torments the enemy's mind between reality and illusion. No wonder the clone is a bit impatient. Itachi, I've given you the chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends entirely on yourself!"
Itachi, hiding in the shadows, maintained the Dark Crow Genjutsu with his Sharingan while observing his grandfather's condition. Seeing his grandfather's anxiety, he smiled.
"Very good, Grandpa's mentality is starting to break down. It won't be long before I can seize that one and only chance to defeat him!"
While Itachi was happy, the audience, including Sen, were completely bewildered.
"Father, what's wrong with the former clan leader? Why is he so impatient when facing Itachi's clone..." Kong didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear: with Tian Qi's strength, he shouldn't be so hasty.
"Itachi's move is quite clever. On one hand, it can slow down Lord Tianqi's pace, and on the other hand, the continuous appearance of clones is also constantly consuming the Lord's spirit and patience. However, given Lord Tianqi's mental endurance, this shouldn't be the case. What is going on..." Zhan was also puzzled by Tianqi's anxious appearance.
"Don't just look at the surface of things. The truth may not be what you see!" Garuda said slowly. She had seen through all of Tenseigan's actions and knew that what was fighting Itachi was just a clone.
"Oh, we don't know why you say that, Lord Garuda. Please enlighten us!" Since learning about Garuda's origins and strength, Zhan and the others have become increasingly respectful towards her.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Tianqi may seem like the cicada, but he's only fighting an avatar right now. In the end, Itachi can't outmaneuver the experienced Tianqi!"
After hearing Garuda's words, everyone immediately understood that the Tianqi fighting Itachi was just a series of small clones. They had thought that Tianqi was getting old and his strength was declining, but it turned out that they had been thinking too much.
Tsunade, on the other hand, said angrily, "Tenchi is too wicked! He only uses clones to fight. If Itachi finds out, how much of a blow will that be to him? It's outrageous!"
Tsunade doesn't care about Tianqi; she's only worried about her grandson Itachi. She knows Tianqi's strength all too well, and she cares more about Itachi than Tianqi.
On the battlefield, as the clones' patience and spirit were nearly exhausted, Itachi knew his chance had come. His chakra was almost depleted, and this was his last chance.
While the clone Tianqi was using Wood Release to attack Itachi's genjutsu clones, Itachi seized the opportunity and used a teleportation technique to sneak up behind Tianqi.
It's finally time to make a move! If it doesn't come soon, I'm about to lose my temper! Sensing Itachi touching his back, the clone Tianqi also revealed a smile.
Itachi burst out of the woods in an instant, his kunai immediately pressed against Tianqi's back. Then, he smiled and said calmly, "Grandpa, you were careless. I have won this test!"
Seeing this, the clone Tianqi also withdrew the Tree World Advent and said calmly, "Very good, very good, very good. You were able to stay clear-headed and find opportunities to turn the tide even when you were in a predicament. You did a great job, Itachi!"
