Seeing the white-haired youth take out the money, he asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Hatake Sakumo, what's wrong?" the white-haired youth asked, looking puzzled.
"Your strength is quite good. Would you like to learn ninjutsu from me?" Tianqi extended an invitation to Sakumo. He felt sorry for Sakumo, who would later commit suicide. It was ridiculous that someone who could surpass the Sannin would commit suicide because of a failed mission. He wanted to save the white-haired boy in front of him.
"Thank you, but no need. I don't use ninjutsu much; I prefer using a sword. I appreciate your kindness, but here's the money. I have to go now." With that, Hatake Sakumo placed the money in Tenki's hand and left.
"Hey!" Watching Hatake Sakumo run away, Tianqi looked at the money in his hand again. "Is he trying to scam me, or are people these days so confident in their own abilities?"
"Heh, young man, you can't escape." Tian Qi seemed to have found amusement, and with a smile, he chased after Hatake Sakumo.
Soon, Tianqi caught up with Hatake Sakumo and arrived at the back mountain.
Upon reaching the back of the mountain, Hatake Sakumo stopped abruptly. "You've followed me for enough, haven't you? Show yourself now."
Oh, they're quite alert. They've spotted me. Tianqi stopped hiding and stepped forward.
As the figure slowly walked out, Hatake Sakumo finally recognized the person. Wasn't this the mentally unstable person from the street earlier?
"Who are you, and what is your purpose in following me?" Hatake Sakumo asked warily, looking at the newcomer.
"Sakumo Hatake is a renowned genius ninja in Konoha. He not only surpasses the three disciples of the Hokage, but his swordsmanship is also incredibly skillful," Tianqi said slowly, looking at Sakumo Hatake.
"Oh, you know so much about my information. It seems you deliberately bumped into me on the street. What are you trying to do?" Hatake Sakumo said, frowning.
"I want to fight you!" Tianqi said excitedly. He had long wanted to try his hand at fighting Konoha's White Fang.
"Why? Give me a reason," Hatake Sakumo slowly began.
"Reasons? Do strong people need reasons? Aren't you a genius? How come your title of genius is fake?" Tian Qi approached step by step.
"You're overthinking it. I'm not a genius. The genius is someone named Uchiha Tensei, and I don't care about such empty titles," Hatake Sakumo said, then turned and walked away.
"Don't care? What if I said it was Uchiha Tenchi?" Tenchi said to Hatake Sakumo, who was leaving.
As expected, upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo stopped in his tracks, turned around, and asked, "Are you sure you're Uchiha Tensei?"
“Right now, no one should dare to impersonate me. If there’s only one person in Konoha named Uchiha Tenchi, then it must be me.” After saying that, Tenchi took out his Tang sword. He saw a fighting spirit in Hatake Sakumo’s eyes, though it was only a trace.
Clang! Suddenly, Hatake Sakumo sprang into action, his short sword clashing directly with the Tang sword. Clang! Clang! Clang! In the blink of an eye, the two moved swiftly while attacking each other.
Clang! Clang! Clang! In one attack after another, Tianqi began to slowly fall into a disadvantageous position, while Hatake Sakumo became more and more courageous in battle. As expected of White Fang, his domineering swordsmanship was so powerful that I was suppressed for a time.
*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle*, the Thousand Birds Sharp Spear!
After exchanging attacks, lightning appeared in Tianqi's hand, and the extended lightning directly forced back Hatake Sakumo, who was attacking.
"Well done, Hatake Sakumo. His swordsmanship is so impressive," Tianqi said calmly, looking at the retreating Hatake Sakumo, his admiration undisguised.
"Your swordsmanship is also quite good. Few people can fight me with a sword for so long, and you are also a ninjutsu-type ninja. You truly deserve to be called Uchiha Tensei." Hatake Sakumo's eyes also showed approval.
"Unfortunately, I am still not as good as you in swordsmanship," Tian Qi said with a sneer. "I am a Kage-level expert, and I can't beat a Jonin. This won't do."
"Although you are not as good as me in swordsmanship, I can see that you are someone I should go all out against. Come on, I don't believe that Uchiha Tenchi is only this strong." Sakumo didn't know what Tenchi was thinking, but now he was staring intently at Tenchi, preparing to fight with all his might.
"Oh, really? It's an honor to fight the strongest genius of the Hatake clan. Out of respect for my opponent, I won't hold back." After saying that, Tianqi directly said to the tailed beast, "Kurama, transfer all your chakra to me. I'm about to enter Nine-Tails Chakra Mode."
"Snap! No problem, get ready." Nine-Tails clasped his hands together and began to channel chakra into Tianqi with all his might.
With a whoosh, accompanied by the transfer of Nine-Tails chakra, golden chakra instantly appeared all over Tenchi's body. Then, a golden chakra cloak appeared behind Tenchi, with black magatama appearing on the golden cloak and collar.
So this is the Nine-Tails Mode? I feel like my whole body is full of energy. No wonder I could fight Sasuke, who has the Rinnegan, to a standstill. This power is indeed strong. Looking at his golden body mixed with black lines, Tian Qi was secretly amazed.
Sakumo Hatake, standing to the side, frowned as he watched Tianqi turn into a little golden man. His intuition told him that the person in front of him was very dangerous.
"Come on, this is my strongest form. I won't hold back. I will use all my strength to defeat you." Tianqi pointed his sword at Hatake Sakumo.
"I will not insult my respected opponent by holding back. This time, I will make sure you, this genius, know the power of Hatake swordsmanship." Hatake Sakumo gripped the short sword in his hand tightly.
"Is that so!" Tian Qi transformed into a golden ray of light and slashed at Hatake Sakumo's right side.
"So fast, and the power is ten times that of before." He didn't see the move clearly at all, but he still managed to block it with his fighting skills. Now his hand holding the knife is trembling, and sweat is dripping down his face.
"Oh, is this all there is to Hatake's swordsmanship? You can barely withstand one of my strikes?" Seeing Hatake Sakumo struggling to defend himself, he realized just how powerful he was now.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hatake's swordsmanship is much more than that! Ah!!!" Hatake Sakumo roared and sent Tenki flying.
Tianqi stepped back and smiled directly at Hatake Sakumo, "That's right, please me to your heart's content, go crazy!"
"Take this, Exploding Flame Heavenly Strike!" Fiery chakra appeared on the short sword, and Hatake Sakumo slashed forcefully towards Tianqi, sending out a huge, fiery red crescent-shaped blade of energy.
"Well done, watch how I block your attack!" Seeing the blade energy rushing towards him, Tian Qi directly used the Nine-Tails' chakra to form two giant palms and blocked in front of him.
Bang! The moment the blade energy struck his palm, Tian Qi retreated slightly, but the energy didn't disappear; it remained on his chakra palm, attempting to advance. "Such powerful blade energy!"
"You blocked one attack, now let's see how you block the next one, second attack! Third attack! Fourth attack!" Seeing that Tian Qi had blocked it, he immediately launched three more slashes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three blades of energy struck the chakra palm again. This time, Tian Qi was slowly pushed back, one meter, two meters, three meters, four meters, and stopped when he was about to retreat five meters.
"Don't underestimate me, ah!!! Break!" Tian Qi used all his strength, directly controlling his chakra and clenching his fist.
Bang! Several blade energies were crushed by Tian Qi's chakra hand.
