Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 148 Proving the Dao in a Dream

Chapter 150 Proving the Dao in a Dream

On the night of the mission, Akaishi ate another "Orochimaru's Mysterious Egg Set Meal". Only Akaishi and Orochimaru ate this; the others—Orochimaru—"fooled" with a set meal.

"Captain Orochimaru, why aren't the Yakushi genin eating the same food as us?" Akaishi asked seriously.

"Nono—she doesn't appreciate my masterpiece either," Orochimaru said matter-of-factly.

Akaishi:————

Now, Akaishi can no longer bring himself to say things like, "Your eggs are absolutely awful, but the other ingredients you used to make are delicious."

Fortunately, the nutrition was sufficient. After eating with the help of illusion magic, Akashi fell asleep.

Throughout the day, Akaishi traveled at full speed, hardly considering what to do if he encountered an attack along the way. This speed was just right for Orochimaru and Jiraiya, allowing them to conserve their energy and be ready to fight at full strength without being affected.

Therefore, Akaishi and his two companions, along with Yakushi Nonou, didn't need to worry about keeping watch that night.

After falling asleep, Akaishi once again "immersed" himself in the world of "Forgot That Veil".

As the familiar pain in his lower right abdomen returned, Akaishi was puzzled. "Besides our Uchiha clan, who else would be willing to indulge in these ridiculous dramas? They don't even have Sharingan—are they just here to die?"

"You, surnamed Hong, have gone too far!"

-

"Don't think I don't know. You're pretending to be in pain just to smear Ling Xiao, aren't you?"

"Dr. Ling is different from you. He graduated from a prestigious university and is popular in the hospital. How could there be any problems with a simple appendectomy?"

"Why is your wound oozing pus again? Can't you stay still and pay attention to hygiene?!"

The subsequent plot revolves around "Stop pretending" and "The surgery can't possibly go wrong." Even when she's just a hair's breadth away from discovering the gauze issue, the female lead is always distracted by Ling Xiao's other situations.

Akaishi was also very upset—couldn't we find someone else to take a look? Don't we already know that the golden window for treatment is 48 hours?

There are only 18 hours left!

Just then—

Shen Qiushui, you have only 18 hours left. If you can't find the gauze by then, you will lose me forever!

Akaashi:? ? ?

Upon hearing this inner monologue from "himself," Akaishi was immediately stunned.

Huh? What's this?

A wave of surprise washed over Akaishi. Ah! This must be "singleness"?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Of the four emotions, "joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure, urgency, and stillness," "stillness" is the least likely to arise because in most cases, it is intercepted by "sorrow." Only when the sorrow is greater than death can "stillness" be produced. Therefore, even in these extraordinary moments of "immersion," "stillness" is a rare emotion.

Thus ends the six-hour immersion in the drama, which amounted to one hour in reality.

【The amazing Lao Ma Pressure-Free Cloud Pillow brings you stress-free deep sleep ———

"Another pillow? Fine—" Akaishi prepared to sleep on this; that way, his sleep quality would be better—

"Ah!" Akashi exclaimed in surprise.

There was no way not to gasp in surprise.

Akaishi had just opened his eyes when he found Orochimaru right in front of him, his face close to his, clearly observing him closely.

"M-Captain Orochimaru? What are you doing?" Akaishi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Being stared at like this in the middle of the night, especially by Orochimaru's pale and lifeless face—

Orochimaru didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you dreaming?"

"Huh? Hmm—that's right." Akaishi was taken aback at first, then immediately agreed.

"I see, no wonder—" Orochimaru looked at Akaishi thoughtfully.

Akaishi understood that Orochimaru was more perceptive than Jiraiya, and that he had probably sensed his emotional turmoil just now.

After all, for the Uchiha clan, emotions are not just emotions; when emotions are agitated, their eye power and mental strength will fluctuate.

This also served as a reminder to Akaishi —

Although one can break free from "immersion" if disturbed by external forces or loud noises, it is not something one can easily do in front of outsiders!

Otherwise, like now, Orochimaru has noticed some clues—the "immersion platform" itself has not been discovered by anyone so far, even if the clan elders stare at it, they cannot find any trace of it, but the changes in Akaishi during "immersion" can be detected.

Of course, it's not a big deal that Orochimaru has discovered some of these things.

At most, it made Orochimaru marvel: "No wonder this Uchiha brat seems to have no talent, yet he's progressing so quickly. It turns out he has a talent for dreaming."

In Orochimaru's view, Akaishi was "good at dreaming," otherwise it would be impossible to explain why a sleeping person would be so emotionally agitated.

Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh—

This "talent," which would be meaningless to others, becomes a "perfect match" when combined with the bloodline of the Uchiha clan!

After being noticed by Orochimaru, Akaishi did not "indulge" in sex again that night.

For the next three days, Orochimaru and his team traveled at full speed.

July 10th, morning.

The group arrived at the border between the Land of Iron and the Land of Fields.

Although the Land of Fire is located in the northeast and borders the Land of Iron directly, it is now heading southwest towards the Land of Iron. Therefore, instead of taking the "End Valley" route through the northwestern Land of Rice Fields, it is heading northwest.

The journey through the Land of Fields was also very smooth.

The Land of Rice Fields has no ninja villages or its own ninjas, so most of the tasks are entrusted to Konoha.

"The border of the Land of Iron is just ahead, isn't it? It's really easy to see at a glance," Akaishi said, looking at the continuous mountain range ahead.

"That's right, the difference will be more obvious up ahead," Orochimaru said meaningfully.

Soon after, Akaishi and the others arrived at the mountaintop, where they saw—

On this side of the mountain, there is lush greenery, and in the distance, you can see the crisscrossing fields of the country. On the other side of the mountain, although there is no snow or ice yet, everything is obviously desolate, and the plants have turned into cold-climate tundra and coniferous forests!

"Such a big difference just across a mountain? The environment of the Land of Iron is really something—" Akaishi shook his head at the Land of Iron in surprise.

"The Land of Rice Fields is a good place because of the geothermal fissures and the Hanping Mountains blocking the warm moisture. It has a pleasant climate and is suitable for farming. Orochimaru said, looking at the Land of Rice Fields with emotion.

Seeing the almost undisguised covetousness in Orochimaru's eyes, Jiraiya said, "Alright, the Land of Rice Fields, as an ally, does indeed have a good place. Fortunately, the tasks in the Land of Rice Fields are usually assigned to Konoha—let's go check on the situation in the Land of Iron!"

Jiraiya specifically emphasized that he wanted Orochimaru to calm down.

Once I become Hokage, I will completely conquer the Land of Rice Fields. Orochimaru smiled slightly, did not refute Jiraiya, but instead took out a map, checked the direction, and headed towards the first rest point where he would stop.

"This supply point is just a small village. We'll rest for a bit after we get there," Orochimaru said.

The reason we arrived in the morning was, of course, because we had traveled through the night last night.

This village is located within the Hanping Mountain Range, in a valley basin. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is sheltered from the cold winds, which is why it was able to form a village.

Just as we were about to arrive—

Orochimaru suddenly stopped, and Jiraiya seemed to notice something as well.

Orochimaru's face didn't reveal much of an expression, but Akaishi noticed that Jiraiya's expression had become noticeably serious.

Seeing this, Minato used the "Thousand Worlds Awakening Technique" and touched the ground with his finger. Then, he also showed a look of surprise mixed with regret.

"I didn't expect we'd already gotten this far?" Orochimaru's tone was slightly surprised.

"Captain Orochimaru, Jiraiya-sensei—there are still survivors," Minato said.

If Orochimaru was somewhat of a riddle-maker, then Akaishi understood what had happened after hearing "there are still survivors"!

Minato's words weren't just a casual reminder. Although Jiraiya and Orochimaru didn't know what kind of sensory methods they used, they obviously didn't directly use any techniques. Under these circumstances, it was perfectly normal for Minato to use his "Thousand Worlds Awakening Technique," which was good at sensing chakra fluctuations, to discover the "living person" that they hadn't noticed.

"Let's go take a look first," Jiraiya said immediately.

Orochimaru nodded.

The group then arrived at the village, where they saw—

Corpses lay everywhere.

Orochimaru then formed half of the Rooster Seal with one hand, and immediately swung his palm towards the village—

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

Orochimaru used this C-rank ninjutsu with only half a hand seal.

It wasn't used for attack at this time, so the wind was wide but not stagnant, sweeping through the village and leaving some residual poison gas in the village!

Judging from the manner of these villagers' deaths, they had mostly died from poisoning, and there were still traces of poison gas remaining.

While it's not fatal for a ninja, there's no need to force it—

Orochimaru waved his hand, dispersing the dwindling poison gas, and said, "Search the area."

Upon hearing this, Akaishi and his two companions, along with Yakushi Nono, split up and dashed into various parts of the village.

Shuimen went straight to the sealed well, removed the heavy objects on top, went down twice, and brought back four children, some as young as two or three years old and others no older than seven or eight.

They were still breathing, but their breaths were barely audible.

It seems that when something happened in the village, the adults put them in the well and sealed the well opening. This way, not much poison gas seeped in, and the Rain Ninja probably didn't check it carefully, which is why they survived.

Fortunately, the poisoning wasn't severe, and Lanwu and Yakushi Nonou came over and used their "antidote technique" to save her.

Since Akaishi couldn't help with this, he started looking around the houses in the village.

Although Akaishi had killed people and witnessed far more gruesome scenes, this was the first time he had seen so many dead bodies, and his heart felt heavy.
