Uchiha Akaishi Tour

After seeing Chishi surrounded by five miniature "Rashomon" gates, Lanwu asked nervously, "Third Uncle, what do you think are Chishi's chances of passing the test?"

"No," Canglan said matter-of-factly.

Lanwu: ...

Seeing Lan Wu's unconvinced expression, Cang Lan, feeling exhausted, changed his tune, saying, "Very small, I mean very small... Well, the chances of anyone passing the trial are very small. Even Second Uncle couldn't pass it back then."

The second uncle that Canglan mentioned refers to Lanwu's grandfather, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!

Akashi didn't know that even this master of forbidden arts hadn't passed the "Rashomon" trial—after all, they wouldn't publicize it...

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi's contract, it was given to Tobirama's students when Hashirama was still alive, but only Sarutobi passed the trial. "However..." Canglan said, looking at the red door, "If the first trial cannot be activated, then this person is not worth befriending!" "What does activating the trial have to do with it?" Lanwu asked in confusion.

Canglan did not answer, nor could he.

and……

The next moment, the red "Rashomon" opened its eyes.

"Ah! Third Uncle, does this mean it's been activated?" Lan Wu asked quickly.

Canglan: ...

"Hmm..." Canglan nodded, but then added, "That's understandable, after all, he's an Uchiha who has already awakened his Sharingan." For an Uchiha who has already awakened his Sharingan to doubt that he has no one he's bound to!

but……

"But precisely because they are Uchiha, they cannot communicate..."

Canglan had only spoken halfway when the face on the red Rashomon gate vanished!

Canglan: ...

"Third Uncle, is this... a success?" Lan Wu asked hurriedly when she saw that Chi Shi did not come out immediately and the other "Rashomon" gates had not disappeared, so it did not seem like the trial had ended.

"Well, he... well... he managed to pass the first hurdle," Canglan said sullenly.

Canglan also didn't understand how an Uchiha could make a decision so quickly.

However, because he could not reveal the contents of the trial, he could not share this question with anyone.

After the first stage ended, the entire trial fell silent, neither changing nor ending...

"Huh? What's going on? Third Uncle, is it impossible to start the second level?" Lan Wu asked, puzzled.

"No, if it couldn't be started, it would have ended long ago. It should be... he didn't even attempt the second stage." Canglan had no idea what this kid was dawdling about.

Could it be...

Is it because the previous challenge was too intense and you haven't recovered yet?

Canglan initially thought that he could just wait a little longer, but who knew...

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the kid hadn't made a sound at all!

"Third Uncle! Is Chishi alright?" Lan Wu asked worriedly.

"It's alright... um, it should be alright." Canglan didn't dare to say that he knew the Boundless Land very well.

However, seeing that Lan Wu was in a hurry, Cang Lan emphasized again, "The consciousness of a living person can only stay in the Avici Hell for a maximum of seven days, which is more than enough time for a trial!"

Lan Wu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

In the blink of an eye, twelve hours had passed since the start of the Red Stone Trial, and it was the middle of the night.

Because the trial was to be conducted at Lan Wu's house, therefore...

At this time, many "neighbors" came to Lan Wu's house, staring at the five Rashomon-like gates, full of doubts.

They didn't even know the content of the trial, let alone understand what had happened. They only heard from Canglan that this situation meant the second trial hadn't been triggered at all.

"Everyone, go back first. Uncle said the trial can only last for seven days at most. After that, I'll just stay here and keep an eye on things," Lan Wu said to the neighbors. "It's alright, we've got nothing better to do!"

"That's right, we'll keep an eye on him. Lanwu, why don't you go to my house and rest..."

"Sister Lanwu, don't worry, we'll keep a close eye on him! We won't let him wake up... mmm... mmm..."

Lanwu: ? ? ?

Doesn't that sound a bit strange?

But then, the situation changed!

Suddenly, the green "Rashomon" opened its eyes.

"The second stage has begun!" Canglan said immediately.

The residents of Mori no Machi held their breath and watched the scene with bated breath.

"Canglan, do you think the Uchiha brat can get past the second test?" Lan Jun asked curiously.

"I think... he shouldn't have passed the first test," Canglan replied bluntly.

Lan Jun: ...

Before Lan Jun could ask anything more, the green Rashomon gate, which had been glaring angrily just moments before, had its facial features quietly disappear.

Upon seeing this, Lan Wu quickly looked at Cang Lan.

Although Canglan looked somewhat bewildered, he still nodded and said, "Yes, I passed the second test."

Canglan didn't understand what had happened either.

First, the fact that the trial could be initiated proves that Red Stone does indeed have people who are willing to risk their lives to save, but...

Surprisingly, he didn't remain stubborn to the end?

Are you really an Uchiha?

Then we can see that Akaishi did not linger for long, and soon the blue Rashomon also opened its eyes.

This time, Canglan wasn't surprised...

"I remember you said that the third level is different from the first two. If you can open the first two levels, it proves that you are a trustworthy person. If you can pass them, it proves that you are a reliable person... But the third level has no opening conditions. Anyone can open it, it's just that the difficulty is different?" Lan Jun asked Cang Lan for confirmation.

He had started the trials before, but...

I'm stuck on the third level!

Therefore, Lan Jun had no memories of the trial, only what Cang Lan had said before.

Canglan paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "That's right."

Although he didn't understand how someone from the Uchiha clan could have such a mental state, Canglan's judgment remained unchanged.

"The third level has started already? You passed the second level so quickly?"

"Unfortunately, apart from Uncle Canglan, none of us know what the test is..."

"But the fact that this Uchiha managed to get through the first two rounds shows he's got something going for him."

"I remember Uncle Canglan saying that the third level should be relatively easier for young people... In other words, this level is easier for that Uchiha, right?"

"So what kind of test is it...? It's supposed to be a test of character, but it's easier for young people?"

The Rashomon trial has nothing to do with strength or aptitude; it supposedly only tests one's character. Generally speaking, it would be better for someone older to undergo the trial, but in reality, that's not the case!

Those who passed the assessment understood that being young has its advantages, and being older has its disadvantages...

Especially if one lives to old age, the chances of passing the test are almost nonexistent, which greatly increases the already extremely high difficulty.

On the one hand, people are more afraid of death in their later years, and the mental fortitude required for the test is not just calmness and composure, but also drive; on the other hand, there is the third hurdle... old age brings many sorrows, and the older one gets, the more regrets one has!

Canglan was only fifteen when he passed the trial, and he felt that if he were to enter the trial now, he probably... wouldn't be able to pass. Canglan even thought that if his uncle had started the trial in his later years, especially after the Battle of the End Valley, he probably wouldn't have passed either! Because by then, Hashirama would have encountered his greatest "enemy" in the third trial...

What's needed now is not strength, but the decisiveness to swing the sword again!

but……

Akaishi passed decisively and efficiently, just as expected!

As the features of the blue Rashomon disappeared, Canglan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Canglan immediately put on a stern face after Lan Jun noticed, in fact, in Canglan's mind, Uchiha Akashi's credibility and reliability had greatly increased.

"The fourth level..." Canglan said in a deep voice.

According to the records of the Uzumaki clan, throughout history, those who fail have mostly fallen in the first three stages. However, this doesn't mean that the success rate for the last two stages is very high! Furthermore…

The last two levels are somewhat dangerous!

Failing the first three trials will not have any side effects other than "losing the memory of the trial," but the last two trials are different!

"Third Uncle! Are the last two levels... dangerous?" Lan Wu asked worriedly.

"This... isn't extremely dangerous." Canglan hesitated for a moment, then added, "Even if it is dangerous, it's mostly psychological trauma. You can... um, Lan Jun and I can talk to him more!"

Lanwu: ...

Immediately, Canglan spoke up: "Everyone, the fourth trial has begun. Unless you fail halfway through, it will take a full day and night to pass the test. You should all go back and rest now."

Upon hearing Canglan's words, the others dispersed.

However, Lan Jun didn't leave. Instead, he asked Cang Lan, "The fourth trial... I remember it was said to be more difficult for young people, right?"

Canglan nodded.

Canglan knew very well that the fourth challenge was the "Gate of Silence"!

This stage has no enemies, and requires no decisions...

Once inside, in the solitude, all the "despair" of the past will come rushing back.

What the trial participants have to do is...

do not give up!

Do not entertain thoughts of suicide.

If you can persevere for 24 hours, you will pass the trial.

Akaishi:……

Akaishi didn't know what the fourth stage was like for the others.

However, my fourth challenge...

"Silence is the touchstone of the heart."

"You alone are trapped in nothingness; all that has happened in the past is as dead as yesterday."

"A heart as firm as a rock, like the birth of this day, breaks this stillness."

In short, it's about reliving all kinds of despair!

During this time, you must not have any thoughts of wanting to die.

This test is precisely the will to survive.

Before Akaishi could react...

"Jingyun, don't you understand my feelings? It's just a book, and besides, he's already given it to me. What's wrong with me giving it to you now?"

"Shen Qiushui, you have only 18 hours left. If you can't find the gauze by then, you'll lose me forever..." "Hongyan, Dad really knows what's going on! Let's go buy pork and make dumplings!"

Akaishi:……

Jimen, you're really wicked!
