Tianqi strolled leisurely to the Grand Elder's house, pushed open the door, and saw a man in his thirties drinking tea and talking with the Grand Elder at a table in the courtyard.
"Oh, Tianqi, you're here. Come and sit down. I've been looking for you lately, but you weren't home. Where have you been?" The elder greeted Tianqi as soon as he opened the door and invited him to sit down.
Tianqi sat down and finally saw the person talking to the elder. "Isn't this our clan leader, Mori? What brings you here today? Aren't you busy with the guard department?" Tianqi said to Uchiha Mori in a cool tone.
That's right, this person is none other than Uchiha Mori, the current head of the Uchiha clan, and also the son of Uchiha Kiyoharu.
"Tianqi, don't always have that expression. I just came here today to chat with you guys," Uchiha Mori said with a friendly expression.
"Oh, just chatting, is that what you mean, Elder?" Tianqi looked at the Elder beside him.
"Uh... this... this..." The elder sat down and stammered, not knowing how to start the conversation.
"It seems like this isn't just a casual chat. To be honest, I don't want to know or care about what's going on over there. If you're here just for a chat, you're welcome. But if it's something else, then there's no need to say anything." Tianqi picked up the tea on the table and slowly drank it.
"This..." Seeing Tianqi's resolute attitude, Uchiha Mori turned to the Grand Elder for help. He knew that the Grand Elder's words would still have some effect on Tianqi, otherwise he would not have come to the Grand Elder first.
"Young clan leader, why don't we listen to what he has to say?" the elder said while pouring tea for Tianqi. The elder was getting old, and he wanted to help the Uchiha clan as much as he could.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me 'Young Clan Chief'? Just call me by my name. And I told you a long time ago that what they do has nothing to do with us."
"What, do you still want to fool around with them now, or do you still want to move back?" Tianqi was furious at the elder's words. I finally managed to distance myself from these short-lived ghosts and sold them out to Danzo. Now you want to help them? You're making me a vengeful spirit. That's absolutely unacceptable.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant you can listen to what Sen has to say before making a decision. I'm not moving back," the elder said hastily, standing up to explain as he saw Tianqi getting a little angry.
"Alright, alright, sit down quickly. You're so old and still so impulsive. I'll give you face and listen to what he has to say." Tianqi looked at the agitated elder and decided to give him face.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit today?" Tian Qi then turned his gaze to Uchiha Sen, wanting to see what Uchiha Sen was really up to.
“Um, I saw that you’ve been under house arrest in Konoha recently. I came here today intending to invite you to rejoin the Uchiha clan, but seeing your current state, that plan is off the table,” Mori said, revealing his original purpose when Tensei asked him.
"Hehe, you know that's good. No matter who suppresses me, frames me, or imprisons me, I can kill all those who bully me, but I will never betray the village. That's my bottom line." Tianqi directly revealed his bottom line to Uchiha Sen. He was indeed a little annoyed by some of the village's decisions.
"So, as long as you don't betray the village, you can also seize the Hokage position?" Seeing Tianqi say this, Uchiha Sen suddenly said this.
"The Hokage position is within your grasp, so why are you interested in it?" Tianqi asked Uchiha Sen with a strange look on his face as he sipped his tea.
"No, no, no, I'm not interested. I was just saying it offhand." Seeing Tianqi looking at him strangely, he shook his head.
"It's good that you're not interested. If you have such thoughts, you're not far from death." Tianqi also gave Uchiha Sen a timely reminder: don't have such thoughts, or you'll be waiting to die.
"Since you have no intention of returning to the Uchiha clan, can I ask you for one more thing?" Seeing that Tianqi pointed at himself again, it seemed that he still cared about the Uchiha clan to some extent, so he took the opportunity to make a request.
"You can talk to me about it, but I might not agree," Tianqi said casually.
"It's not an unreasonable request, but could you please find a way to stop the village from sending people to monitor us? We won't rebel," Uchiha Mori pleaded with Tianqi. Because Uchiha Qingyang's coup attempt failed, he was subjected to all kinds of surveillance as soon as he took office. He was really annoyed, and the feeling of being monitored every day was too uncomfortable.
"Isn't this all thanks to your father? Besides, I can barely take care of myself right now, how can I help you?" Tianqi waved his hand to indicate that he had no other choice.
“As long as you’re willing to help, I believe you have a way,” Uchiha Mori said earnestly, looking at Tian Qi.
"Tianqi, please help them. After all, you know what it's like to be watched every day. It's really not a good feeling," the elder pleaded for Uchiha Sen.
"Alright, I really can't help you with this matter, but there will be an opportunity in a few years. If you can seize it, not only will the surveillance be gone, but you might also have a chance to regain Konoha's trust." Thinking of the Second Shinobi World War, Tianqi slowly spoke.
Upon hearing that he could not only be released from surveillance but also regain Konoha's trust, Uchiha Mori immediately became interested in the "opportunity."
“In a few years, the ninja world will gradually become more turbulent. At that time, as long as you actively contribute, I believe the Konoha leadership will still be willing to give you a chance,” Tianqi explained while drinking tea.
"How could you know that the ninja world would become unstable in a few years?" Uchiha Mori looked at Tianqi with a puzzled expression, and the Grand Elder echoed, "Yes, how did you know?"
"Hmph, isn't this a common occurrence? Without someone capable of suppressing the ninja world, it's only a matter of time before the ninja world descends into chaos. You don't even need to think about it to know this. You just need to seize the opportunity when the time comes." Faced with the two's doubts, Tianqi casually made up an excuse to brush them off.
"That makes sense, I guess I'll just have to endure it for a few more years." Uchiha Mori gritted his teeth and decided to endure it for a while longer.
After chatting for a while, Uchiha Mori left the elder's house, saying he still had things to take care of.
Watching Uchiha Mori leave, the First Elder spoke up, "Will the ninja world really descend into chaos again in a few years?" The thought of the ninja world descending into chaos made him secretly worried for his clansmen.
"Yes, things will be chaotic, but don't worry. With me here, our martial arts clan will be fine. Don't you trust my strength?" Tianqi reassured the elder.
