"With you here, what's the point of us fighting? You might as well just take action and end the war!" Tsunade said, speechless.
"This isn't my war, why should I pretend? Relying on others is not as good as relying on ourselves. Naruto's side is already losing ground and the main force is heading there. I think you should hurry up and go support them!"
"We went there, and you? Did you just wander back to headquarters again?"
"What do you mean by 'wandering around'? I'm going to pick up Itachi and we'll meet up in a bit!" Tianqi said, grabbing Qianyu and disappearing with Garuda away.
……,
...
Seeing Tianqi slip away so easily, Wu Ying was speechless. Goodness, he got away too fast. It's obvious that he wanted to hide in the back and play dumb!
Seeing that she couldn't rely on Tianqi, Tsunade led the five Kage towards Naruto's battlefield.
Meanwhile, Qianyu, who was being pulled away by Tianqi, asked in confusion, "Father, why are you pulling me away? Why don't you just go and pick up Itachi while I protect Mother?"
"Hmph, shut up. If I'm taking you away, just come with me obediently. My plan has already begun, so don't cause me any trouble on the battlefield!"
"The plan has begun?" Upon hearing that the Uchiha's plan had begun, Chiba didn't say anything more, but the doubts in his heart remained.
Soon, under Tianqi's guidance, after several space jumps, they successfully found Itachi. At this moment, Itachi was walking slowly by himself, seemingly lost in thought.
"One against seven!" Tianqi appeared in front of Itachi and called out to his grandson.
"Hmm! Grandpa, Father, and Garuda Grandma, what brings you here?" Itachi was slightly surprised to see the three of them suddenly appear.
Seeing that Itachi's eye was intact and there was no problem, Tianqi was relieved. It would have been a pity to sacrifice such a powerful eye to save Kabuto, but fortunately Itachi did not sacrifice his eye.
"Itachi, what are you thinking about? How come you didn't even notice Grandpa's here? This isn't like you!"
"It's like this, after I met Sasuke and resolved the Kabuto issue, I told him the general truth, and Grandpa Sasuke said this..."
"Itachi, don't overthink it. History has its inevitability. Sasuke has his own path to walk. We can only guide him. Ultimately, he is the one who decides everything. Besides, your grandmother and I have already met the future Sasuke. He hasn't disappointed us. Now that he has a family, he is doing the right thing!"
"The future Sasuke? Is that so? That's good, that's good!" Upon hearing this, Itachi was surprised but then relieved.
Unlike Itachi's composure, Chiba, upon hearing that his father and the others had met the future Sasuke, excitedly exclaimed, "The future Sasuke? Father, when did you meet Sasuke? How is his family? Is he doing well? What are his family members with...?"
"Shut up! You have to see what the future holds for yourselves, not me telling you. Just make sure you don't disappoint. I've already handed over my power to him. What the future holds is up to you!" Tianqi said, glancing at his son and grandson with a hint of reluctance.
"Oh..." Since her father was unwilling to talk about it, Qianyu didn't ask any more questions.
However, unlike Qianyu, Tianqi's words gave Itachi a different understanding. He asked with some doubt, "Grandpa, from what you're saying, are you planning to leave?"
"Heh, as expected of Itachi, you are indeed very clever. After the Uchiha plan succeeds this time, I may take you, Tsunade, and Garuda to other places, and we may not be back for a long time..."
"Father, why are you leaving? Why are you..." Qianyu was also very agitated when she heard that her father and mother were leaving.
"Qianyu, don't get excited. Your father's mission in this world is basically complete. Staying here will only lead to stagnation. I want to strive for a higher level. Seeing that you are all doing well, your father is already very satisfied..."
“Father…” Qianyu also showed deep reluctance at this moment. Although his father often scolded him, those who were leaving were his closest relatives. How could he bear to part with them?
He finally understood the question that had been nagging at him. He had been wondering what the purpose of the Uchiha plan was, and now he finally understood: it was all for the purpose of leaving.
"Don't be so reluctant to part. I'll come back once I've explored all the secrets of the world and gained the power to control everything. After we leave, you can return to Konoha. Now that the old foxes of Konoha are gone, your path will be exceptionally easy!" Tianqi said, then looked at Itachi.
"As for you, Itachi, I would prefer that you return to your clan and become its guardian. Konoha may not be the right place for you. What do you think, Itachi?"
"My idea is also to return to the clan. Konoha may not be suitable for me, but Grandpa..." Itachi looked at his grandfather, who had always been so good to him, and his reluctance to leave him almost surpassed that of his father.
"Hahaha... Good, good, good. Now that they all have a place to go, I'm relieved. You don't need to worry. With my strength, I still have a long way to go!" Having arranged for his children and grandchildren to go, Tianqi used laughter to cover up his reluctance.
Seeing Tianqi's magnanimous demeanor, Qianyu and Itachi were still immersed in the reluctance of parting with their family.
Just then, Garuda, who had been puzzled, finally spoke up.
"Tianqi, I've always been curious, what exactly is this plan you're talking about?"
"The ultimate goal of this plan is so that we can leave—no, so that I can leave. Actually, I'm not sure if I can take you and Tsunade with me. We'll only know when certain people arrive..."
"Someone has descended? Who exactly is it?"
"I don't really know who this person is, but I believe that once the plan succeeds, I will be able to meet this person, the one who has been behind me all along!" Tian Qi squinted his eyes. To be honest, he was also looking forward to meeting this guy behind the scenes, so that he could unravel the mystery of the system and the time travel.
"The person behind you, Grandpa, you mean there's someone behind you...!" Itachi looked at his grandfather in shock.
Qianyu and Garuda were also shocked. It was truly unexpected that someone was behind such a powerful Tianqi.
"I am Madara Uchiha's son, that's true. Although I had decent talent from a young age, I was definitely not qualified to be this strong now. It seems that this unseen hand behind the scenes has been pushing me all along. Sixty percent of my current power is thanks to this person behind the scenes. Even the extraction technique was given to me by him through special means. Now I am more and more convinced of this. I have a very subtle feeling about this plan to break through dimensions. I will definitely meet this guy behind the scenes!"
He desperately wanted to unravel the secrets of time travel and the system, but for some reason, he always felt that things behind it all were not so simple.
"Father, since things are so complicated, why don't you stay and we can solve everything together?" In the end, Qianyu didn't want her parents to leave.
"This is my own business, and I must resolve it myself. You don't need to say anything more about my decision; my mind will not change!"
Knowing he couldn't persuade his father, Qianyu stopped talking. He cherished this last chance to spend time together and vowed never to upset his father during this final period.
"I never expected you to have such a secret. But I'll always be there for you no matter what. I believe we can solve all the problems!" Garuda immediately stepped forward and took Tianqi's hand.
"That's for sure. Not for myself, but for you all, I must unravel the mystery completely!" Tian Qi's eyes were resolute; he was determined to uncover all these secrets.
"But how exactly do you plan to execute this? I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to help?"
"Um... I'll be grateful if you don't cause any trouble later!"
"Why do you say that? Is there something I have to do with this?"
"This specific plan will require the help of your uncle, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, so at that time..."
Before Tianqi could finish speaking, Garuda asked incredulously, "Uncle Yuyi! Wasn't he already dead? How could this be?"
“He is indeed dead, but he has not completely disappeared. I learned through special channels that he will appear in this war. As long as he appears, the Uchiha clan can extract the power to break through this world through him. So I hope that you will…” Tianqi looked at Garuda apologetically.
The reason I haven't told Garuda about this is because Otsutsuki Hagoromo is Garuda's uncle, and it's never a good thing to mess with someone's uncle.
