Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Akaishi lay in the infirmary until the end.

After all, someone who has been hit in the back of the head with a "chakra scalpel" shouldn't be able to immediately return to watching the game full of energy.

Therefore, Akaishi only heard that Aburame Shiki won almost without a fight.

Because the audience was too excited, the battle could not continue for a time. In the end, the Hokage himself went on stage and reiterated the Will of Fire before the battle could be resumed.

The next day, Inuzuka Tsuru, who came to visit Akaishi in his hospital room, vividly described to Akaishi: "When Shii came on stage, she released the special parasitic insects that she had specially cultivated in the gourd. I originally wanted to teach her a good lesson for you—but alas." He shook his head regretfully as he spoke.

Unfortunately, when faced with a "non-Uchiha" opponent, the heavily injured Yakushi Nonou surrendered immediately!

Zhiwei seemed a little embarrassed at this point, and said in a low voice, "It's just normal preparation for battle."

Upon hearing this, Inuzuka Tsuru punched his shoulder in protest: "Seriously, don't be so smug! Consider this a favor Akaishi gave you—I wish we could switch places!"

The reason why Akaishi placed Aburame Shiki last was precisely this.

Although Akaishi didn't know at the time that the Root guys would do this, but—

Minato kept giving Akaishi a warning look!

Even if he couldn't guess what the other party wanted to do, at least Akaishi knew there was a conspiracy, so he took down that guy before Zhiwei.

As it turns out, Akaishi's defense was correct; at least this way, the title of champion did not fall to that Yakushi Nono!

In the end, the champion of the fourth arena was Shiki Aburame, while the two spots in the losers' bracket were given to Akaishi and Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

There was no dispute about Akaishi, but as for the second spot—

At that time, Sarutobi was also ridiculed by Ina. Ina strongly recommended Yakushi Nonou, arguing that she was determined and had won. Sarutobi, with a dark face, refuted Ina and finally chose Suigetsu Hozuki, who had fought the most fiercely with Akaishi.

No wonder Inuzuka Tsurugi was so upset.

"Damn it—of all the Konoha genin who made it to the final exam, only Hizashi and I didn't get promoted to chunin—couldn't you have fought me harder back then and taken down that fat bastard from Kirigakure faster?" Inuzuka Tsuru said through gritted teeth.

"Theoretically, Yakushi Nonou is also a genin of Konoha," Kurama Murakumo corrected at this moment.

Yakushi Nonou also failed to advance.

"What kind of Konoha ninja is she!" Claw said with a sneer.

Kurama smiled slightly and said, "Akaishi, do you know why you can't make her admit defeat?"

"Because of—Shimura Danzo's orders?" Akaishi looked at him strangely—did I really have to say it?

"No, it's because the Sharingan's genjutsu is still inferior to the bloodline limit of our Kurama clan. Otherwise, we could directly guide our five senses and turn the illusory into the real without triggering her curse seal!" Kurama said proudly.

Akaishi:————

It's as if you can awaken—

Akaishi ignored him.

Although it was all a dream, Akaishi decided to let it slide for the time being, considering that his assumption was that he was on his side and dealing with the Root guys.

After Inuzuka Tsuru and the other two left, Akaishi's spirits improved considerably, since his injuries weren't actually that severe!

When Lan Wu came in, she saw that Chi Shi had already gotten out of bed and was doing stretching exercises.

After Lanwu brought Chishi back last night, she took care of him for another day.

Firstly, the Uchiha clan has the fewest talents in Yang Release, so there are not many medical ninjas; secondly, Akashi is faking illness, so with Lanwu here, there is no need for anyone else to check on him.

She estimated that he was only the second Senju descendant to have spent the night in the Uchiha clan's territory since the founding of Konoha—the last time was before Madara defected, when the First Hokage slept side by side with him and discussed the future of Konoha.

This shows that the Uchiha clan is very magnanimous.

Unlike the Thousand Hands, they treat people like thieves!

Let alone disturbing them, as long as Lan Wu is here, no other clansmen will come near.

"Why don't you lie down a little longer?" Lan Wu wasn't worried about Chi Shi's health.

After all, Lan Wu had been treating him for the past two days, and she knew Chi Shi's true recovery progress very well.

"There's no need. My recovery speed is fast, and it's not something that happened in just a day or two." Akaishi didn't intend to fake illness.

After all, pretending too much can easily lead to exposure.

Instead, I'm openly and honestly recovering—I just recover quickly, is that not allowed?

"Did Tsunade say anything?" Akaishi asked impatiently.

Lan Wu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Tsunade said that the Root's missions have been temporarily frozen. The ninjas previously selected by Root have been transferred to the Anbu. Also, Shimura Danzo was not seen at yesterday's Jonin meeting."

"It's just a temporary freeze—" Akaishi scoffed upon hearing this. "I thought they were going to disband completely!"

Although judging from the current situation, Danzo Shimura must have suffered a great blow, there has been no public disciplinary action against him.

This was not unexpected by Akaishi, after all, the "Root" was ultimately established by Danzo for the Third Hokage—at least that's what the Third Hokage thought.

On one side is the Dark Side left behind by his teacher, which he can hardly call his own confidants; on the other side is the Root organization established by his close teammates. The Third Hokage should have high expectations for the latter.

only----

Akaishi estimates that Shimura Danzo does not think that way!

Judging from the current state of training these assassins, Danzo Shimura clearly sees himself as the master of Root. In fact, these assassins weren't trained after Root was established; rather, they were assassins he had trained long before that were transferred to Root.

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for the Third Hokage, leading him to impose more restrictions on Danzo, but—

It seems that "beating" is still the main approach!

Even the ninjas who were "decided to be transferred to Root" were transferred to Anbu, which means that the original ninjas of Root were not moved?

"If you feel you're alright—we might be going on a mission in three days," Lan Wu reminded him.

Lan Wu originally wanted to ask Chi Shi if he was faking illness, then he didn't need to go.

"Of course we'll go! This is our first mission after being promoted to Chunin!" Akaishi said immediately.

"Then don't forget, meet at the Hokage Building at eight o'clock in the morning three days from now," Lan Wu emphasized.

"Have you decided what mission you're going to take?" Akaishi asked, puzzled.

"It's not that we're taking it ourselves; Jiraiya-sensei will also be going. It's probably because the Third Hokage has some important mission that he's directly assigning to us," Lan Wu said.

This situation is clearly unusual; Jiraiya, as the instructor Jonin, is actually leading the team personally.

This wasn't like when the three were still genin, where Jiraiya would always provide guidance for even a simple B-rank or C-rank mission.

Now that Akashi, Ranma, and Minato are all Chunin, they can take on B-rank missions on their own, and it's unlikely that Jonin will lead them anymore.

"Then I'll go back tonight, otherwise—" Lan Wu didn't finish her sentence.

Otherwise, the Senju clan's third and fourth uncles would come and block the Uchiha clan's gate!

Since Akaishi is determined to recover in three days and not miss the next mission, there is no need for someone to take care of him tonight.

"Um—thank you," Akaishi said.

Lan Wu ignored him, but left behind some wound medicine that was different from ordinary wound medicine. It was specially used to treat special injuries caused by the "Chakra Scalpel" - Tsunade had just taught Lan Wu how to mix it!

After Lan Wu left, Chi Shi moved around in the room for a while, then got dressed and went to the clan chief's house.

When Chishi returned yesterday, the clan chief also came. However, because Lanwu was present, the clan chief didn't say much. After confirming that Chishi was not in any danger, he left, only telling Chishi to come and see him after he recovered.

"Akashi? You—you've recovered from your injuries?" Kenji was quite surprised to see Akashi.

Although he had sent Akaishi to find him, Kensei still thought that Akaishi would need to stay in bed for at least two days before he could get up.

"He's fine now," Akaishi said truthfully.

"That's good—" Kensuke said, his face darkening. "That damned Shimura Danzo, he's utterly despicable!"

Seeing that Chi Shi was worried, Lan Yu reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll definitely make that Sarutobi Hiruzen give us an explanation!"

Akaishi:————

Chi Shi discovered that the Blue Jade Clan Elder seemed to tacitly agree to stay at the Clan Chief's house.

"This incident must be a conspiracy by that Shimura Danzo. I believe the Hokage can understand that this person has betrayed the Will of Fire." Akaishi wanted to indirectly remind the clan leader and elders.

At this point, it would be fine to ask the Third Hokage for an explanation, but it would be more legitimate to start with the "Will of Fire".

"That's right, at the very least we must hand over those assassins from the root and execute them all, cutting off their claws and teeth first!" Lan Yu said confidently.

Akaishi:————

Are we talking about the same thing?

"Elder, why don't we support the Hokage in transferring all those assassins to the Anbu?" Akaishi felt that this was more practical.

Execution is out of the question. The Third Hokage would never agree to it. Besides, those assassins are nothing more than "knives." While venting one's anger on them might weaken Danzo, it would be a poor strategy. It would be better to give him some more substantial blows!

Seeing Elder Lan Yu frown, Chi Shi immediately added, "The main reason is—to be transferred to Elder Jing's command!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Chishi say this, Jiancheng and Lanyu immediately smiled, thinking it was a good idea.

Although Jiancheng and Lanyu usually felt that Jing's ideas had deviated from the Uchiha clan, and it was true that Jing didn't care about the clan's affairs and focused on the Anbu, they were still closer to him than outsiders. Jing had more and stronger power, and they were happy to see that. If the power came from Root, that would be even better!

However, Kensuke was still a little worried: "These people were trained by Shimura Danzo. Could they be secretly colluding with him?"

""

"That's even better! As long as Jing finds out, we can just deal with him directly, and then Hiruzen Sarutobi won't be able to say anything." Lan Yu wasn't worried at all.

Indeed, Akaishi's idea sounds more likely to pass.

The two then encouraged Akaishi and promoted his salary within the clan to Jonin level. In addition, he could hold a nominal position in the security department and receive a salary without working.
