"Let's go!" Tianqi led Qianyu to a spacious place to set up camp.
The stay lasted a whole day. During that day, Tianqi and Qianyu talked about everything under the sun. After getting to know each other better, Tianqi discovered that Qianyu didn't have any lofty goals. In fact, his heart was even leaning towards Konoha Village. Tianqi wasn't surprised by this, after all, he was the great-grandson of Senju Hashirama, so it wasn't a problem for him to have such a bias.
However, when talking about Uchiha Mikoto, Tianqi was a little surprised. Originally, Uchiha Mikoto was Uchiha Fugaku's wife, but now Chiba has taken her away. Tianqi is also full of anticipation for who Itachi and Sasuke will end up with.
The next morning, after getting up, Tianqi ran to the distant forest and caught two wild pheasants to roast.
"Father, when will the village's support ninjas arrive?" Chiyu asked, sitting around the fire.
"Maybe today or tomorrow, but who cares? I've never had any hope for Konoha's ninja forces. I don't expect them to die without even knowing how!" Tianqi shook his head. He really didn't care about Konoha's forces.
“Father, what are you saying? Didn’t our ancestors say that ninjas become incredibly powerful once they have bonds? How can we not value our comrades?” Chiyu said, frowning.
He truly didn't understand why his father disliked the ninjas of Konoha so much.
“I understood these principles more than ten years ago. It’s not that I don’t value my comrades; on the contrary, I value them exceptionally much. But I will always maintain a negative attitude towards the ninja forces of Konoha. First of all, they can’t help me at all and will only hold me back. They will even obstruct me at crucial moments. I’m only not attacking this corrupt Konoha because of your mother!” Tianqi said slowly while roasting a chicken.
Clearly, he still harbors resentment towards Konoha Village for interfering in his battles years ago. If it weren't for Konoha Village being such a troublemaker, he could have completely wiped out the four countries, propelled Konoha Village to its highest point, and unified the ninja world, making the whole world belong to Konoha Village. Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Konoha Village, so now he really doesn't want to contribute to Konoha Village.
"But with such great power, shouldn't you be saving the so-called decaying Konoha Village?" Chiyu was still trying to persuade her father to help Konoha Village.
"Save them? Is there any hope for Konoha Village? They only fight amongst themselves for power. To save them, we need to purge the current high-ranking officials and families, reshuffle the deck, and establish a new order. Is that what you want to see?" Tianqi stared at Qianyu and asked rhetorically.
"No, no, no, that won't do, but..."
Before Qianyu could say anything more, Tianqi interrupted him.
"I won't stop you from serving Konoha Village. After all, this is where you live, and there's nothing wrong with contributing to your home. However, I advise you not to get too involved. The waters of Konoha Village run deep. And you don't need to try to persuade me here. I have my own independent views on Konoha Village!" Tianqi reminded Qianyu. He didn't want his son to become a brainwashed fan of Konoha Village.
"Well... alright!" Seeing that persuasion was useless, Chiyu stopped trying. Although he agreed verbally, he didn't really think so. Konoha Village was his home, and serving his home was what every Konoha ninja should do.
Seeing his son almost becoming a die-hard fan of Konoha Village, Tianqi cursed the consciousness body in his heart for being useless. After being with Qianyu for so many years, he had failed to pass on the core ideology of the clan to Qianyu. He was really too useless.
If Qianyu weren't strong, it wouldn't matter, but now that he's reached the level of a Kage, with his simple mind, wouldn't he be easily schemed against and killed in the treacherous Konoha Village? It's too late to change things now; we can only hope that Qianyu can come to terms with it in the future.
Two days after the message was relayed back by the consciousness entity, the Konoha support force finally arrived at the border after a rapid march. This time, the force consisted of about four thousand people. Because they also had to defend against several other countries, Konoha could only send a maximum of four thousand people.
The leader of the 4,000 was a young man with blond hair. The young man with blond hair at the front quickly spotted Qianyu and the other person gathered around the campfire.
"Qianyu, are you alright?" The blond-haired young man quickly stepped forward to ask Qianyu.
"I'm fine, Minato. It's great that you're here!" Looking at Minato Namikaze, Shota, and the other ninjas, Chiba was also very happy.
"Lord Tianqi, are you alright?" Xiangtian rushed to Tianqi's side. He had thought Tianqi had sacrificed himself, but he hadn't expected him to survive. It was truly unexpected.
"What could possibly happen to me? You're probably hoping something bad will happen to me, aren't you?" Tian Qi rolled his eyes at the ninja. Having received the consciousness's memories, he knew very well who this ninja was.
"How could you say that? I'm so happy you survived from the Iwa ninja, how could I possibly want anything to happen to you!" Shota kept rubbing his hands together, acting like a sycophant.
"Alright, stop disgusting me. Go play somewhere else, I'm waiting to eat!" Tianqi waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the roast chicken in front of him.
"You haven't eaten yet? You should have said so earlier! I have some top-quality canned beef here, I guarantee it's all big chunks of beef and super fragrant, you should try some!" Xiangtian said, pulling out several cans of beef, clearly something he was keeping for himself.
Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile. He hadn't encountered a Konoha simp in many years. He didn't expect to run into one just two days after waking up. It seemed that there were more simps in Konoha. Tianqi accepted the can of beef without any politeness.
"Lord Tianqi!" After catching up with Qianyu, Minato Namikaze also came to Tianqi's side, bowing deeply and showing great respect. The reason for this was that he had heard from his master Jiraiya that Tianqi had contributed to both of his signature ninjutsu, so he was very respectful to Tianqi.
"Alright! Now that you're here, take the troops to the front lines. Although the Iwa ninja have temporarily retreated, I don't think they'll give up their attack on the Land of Fire's border!" Tianqi glanced at the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and ordered them to the front lines.
"Yes, Lord Tianqi, I'll lead the troops to the front line to prepare for defense!" With that, Minato Namikaze led the main force to the front line. Uchiha Tianqi was the highest commander on the border. Before coming, the Third Hokage had told him to listen to Tianqi in everything, so he was very obedient now.
Watching Minato Namikaze lead the large group away, Tian Qi seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Hiruzen Sarutobi really treated this grand-disciple exceptionally well, even letting him lead the support force this time. Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to think highly of him.
