Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 17 Success

Seeing the ninjutsu Lanwu used, Jiraiya showed some satisfaction—just as Tsunade had said, Lanwu's grades at school and the strength she was showing now could not fully explain her talent...

Her mastery of Water Release chakra nature transformation is what deserves the most attention.

Under her control, the nature of her Water Release chakra completely changed!

As for strength... as long as it doesn't die prematurely, it will improve sooner or later.

However, Jiraiya certainly wouldn't let himself be caught in this oil net. He took out a kunai and leaped up, about to break the oil net at its very center.

Just then, as the oil net fell, Akaishi leaped up...

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

After Chi Shi formed the hand seals, the flames he spewed out transformed into small fireballs, falling in all directions towards the various nodes of the oil net.

Back in the ninja academy, the teachers specifically mentioned that in ninja combat, when facing multiple opponents, the most important thing is to create opportunities for teammates to form hand seals...

At this point in Akaishi's worldview, apart from some special bloodline limits, ninjas are basically high in attack and low in defense, and being wiped out or killed in one move is the norm.

If a Jonin allows a Chunin to use hand seals to attack, the chances of him being caught off guard and defeated are extremely high!

Especially now that Akaishi and Ranmai are working together, once the nodes of the oil net are ignited at the same time, it's as if several fire dragons are simultaneously attacking Jiraiya in the center.

"Earth Release·Earth Release Wave!"

Jiraiya instantly formed hand seals and spewed out a large amount of sand from his mouth, which, like waves, surrounded him and blocked the flames.

Water Release and Earth Release, which are practical ninjutsu, can be released using real matter or by condensing chakra and simulating matter. The former is more powerful and consumes less energy, but the latter is more flexible and free.

At this moment, Jiraiya was in the air and did not have time to disturb the soil on the ground, so he directly synthesized it himself using chakra.

Jiraiya's chakra transformations initially involved Fire Release, and later he awakened Earth Release.

Just as Jiraiya's swirling spray of sand extinguished the flames surrounding him like waves, Minato fired several kunai at him...

Jiraiya's current "Earth Flow Wave" is a typical ninjutsu for extinguishing fire and blocking electricity over a large area. It is not very effective against physical defense. In contrast to the rigid "Earth Flow Wall", several kunai pierced through the flowing sand wall and shot towards Jiraiya.

Looking at the kunai, Jiraiya's lips curled slightly, and he dodged them with apparent ease.

But just then, one of the kunai, as it passed Jiraiya's waist, suddenly transformed into Minato's true form with a "bang," reaching out and tearing the bell off Jiraiya's waist...

"It's done!"

"Well done!"

Akashi and Ranmai immediately cheered.

……

"Not bad, Minato's final surprise attack was very creative."

"And then there's Akaishi and Ranmai, they've already shown this level of chemistry on their first time working together..."

"While you're still far from being qualified ninjas,... let's just say you've passed!"

As Jiraiya spoke, he took out three Konoha headbands from his pocket.

Jiraiya remains the same as always, spoiling the child in his actions, but constantly criticizing and disciplining him verbally.

At the last moment, Jiraiya realized Minato's plan, but still "gave" the bell to them, letting them taste the sweetness of success themselves.

Akaishi and Ranma didn't realize that Jiraiya was holding back, assuming he was just careless. Minato, however, vaguely sensed something, but didn't ask in front of the two to avoid spoiling the mood.

Although they weren't particularly fond of the term "tacit understanding," both Akaishi and Ranmai obediently accepted the headbands without arguing...

Akashi and Minato both wore them obediently on their heads, while Ranma wore them around her neck in a more individualistic way.

"Well... from now on we'll be a ninja team. I'll be your instructor, a Jonin. Until any of you are promoted to Chunin, you'll be going on missions with me. You can call me Jiraiya-sensei. It's getting late. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock sharp, be at the Hokage Building. I'll take you to receive your missions!" Jiraiya said.

"Yes, Jiraiya-sensei!"

Teacher, after the Second Hokage established the Ninja Academy system, the teacher-student relationship also became part of the ninja tradition.

Besides the teachers at the Ninja Academy, the Jonin who guides a newly-minted ninja usually also become the ninja's teachers.

After the three agreed, Jiraiya announced that the group would be disbanded that day.

However, Akaishi stayed behind...

"Hmm? Akaishi, is there something you need?" Jiraiya asked.

"Jiraiya Jonin... no, Jiraiya-sensei, do you know a lot of Earth Release ninjutsu?" Akaishi asked with bright eyes.

"That's right, do you want to learn?" Jiraiya smiled slightly, having guessed that Akaishi might ask for his guidance—after all, the name itself suggested he was an Uchiha with Earth Release chakra transformations.

I just didn't expect Akaishi to be in such a hurry...

Akaishi nodded repeatedly. The Eighth Hokage wasn't in the village right now, and... what if Jiraiya also knew Earth Release techniques beyond those passed down from the Uchiha clan?

If it were a ninja from another clan, they would actually be somewhat hesitant to teach ninjutsu to the Uchiha.

While ordinary ninjutsu isn't particularly secretive, and Jonin generally don't hesitate to teach it, but...

Teach the Uchiha a different kind of thing!

If you teach one Uchiha, soon all the Uchiha who can be copied will have learned it.

Even if there was no actual loss, there was still some discomfort in my heart, especially since the Uchiha clan was very popular in the village... exceptionally so!

"Okay...but...I just did some light exercise, and my shoulders are a little sore...um...I'm afraid I won't be able to form the hand seals properly like this." Jiraiya said, deliberately moving his shoulders.

Seeing this, Akaishi, though reluctant, still went forward to massage Jiraiya.

Akaishi massaged his shoulders from behind, and Jiraiya grinned, showing his teeth. The massage wasn't the key point, though; the most important thing was that he wanted to temper Akaishi's "Uchiha temperament."

Jiraiya didn't let Akaishi do it for nothing. He then slowly demonstrated three B-rank Earth Release ninjutsu to Akaishi. Akaishi successfully copied two of them. However, he failed to copy one of them because it was considered relatively difficult among B-rank ninjutsu.

Akaishi estimated that Jiraiya should have a general idea of ​​what Earth Release techniques the Uchiha clan possessed—after all, they were ninjas from the same village, and the Uchiha clan members must have had a general impression of which Earth Release techniques they had used.

These three B-rank ninjutsu are not found in the Uchiha ninjutsu lineage...

Among the B-rank Earth Release ninjutsu that Jiraiya knew, there were only these three that the Uchiha did not have. After all, when the Uchiha fought together with other ninjas from the same village, they would also copy them!

The single-layer Sharingan still needs to be demonstrated gradually, but the triple-layer Sharingan can directly replicate ordinary A-rank ninjutsu on the battlefield...

After Akaishi copied three Earth Release techniques, his eye power was exhausted.

Seeing that Akaishi was already panting, Jiraiya gave him a special lecture on theory, essentially giving him extra instruction.
