Uchiha Akaishi Tour

"What are you doing? Fine, fine... then tell me, what use are you?" Akaishi looked helplessly at the ever-erratic Hell King. Although a contract had been signed, Akaishi still found it difficult to get any information from it about the Sage of Six Paths, the ancestor Indra, or anything like that. What disappointed Akaishi the most was that it didn't know anything about the "Immersed Demon God."

"My present-day avatar can repair physical bodies, interrogate and judge criminals... Combined with your Sharingan, we can share vision." The King of Hell spoke without revealing his mouth.

"Repair the physical body? To what extent can it be repaired?" Akashi immediately asked.

"Completely repaired," Yama, the King of Hell, emphasized.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi frowned, feeling that it was exaggerating a bit, so it asked again, "Even if it's shattered to pieces, or stabbed with a thousand holes, it can still repair itself?"

"Indeed," Yama, the King of Hell, said matter-of-factly, but then added, "However, I only perform repairs, not life and death; that is, I do not mend defects, nor do I preserve life."

Akaishi:……

Upon hearing its addition, Chishi finally understood—the Hell King's repair was "absolute external injury elimination," meaning that even if someone had a broken arm or leg, or even if their head had been chopped off, it could put them back together.

but!

It cannot cause severed limbs or wounds to regenerate on their own. The "parts" need to be still there. If something is missing or missing, it cannot regenerate. It does not guarantee that the person is still alive, and it does not even have the effect of replenishing vitality. It only makes the external injury disappear.

In other words, it has unlimited regenerative abilities under the premise of "absolute respect for life and death".

The effect...

It can't be said that it's not practical!

Even for Akaishi, who didn't have high expectations to begin with, the effect was already very strong.

Aside from reattaching severed limbs, more importantly, it can also quickly repair injuries to internal organs.

This function is incredibly effective when the internal organs are only cut and there is no loss of anything—it can directly heal the injury, which is equivalent to only minor damage and blood loss.

Or, if internal organs like the liver, lungs, spleen, or kidneys are missing, timely healing, even if only a small portion is missing, can at least ensure survival. Of course, if part of the heart is missing, there's not much that can be done. In fact, even if the person is still breathing, the King of Hell cannot stop their death, because a damaged heart cannot function even if the wound heals.

However, when it comes to things that are less useful...

Whether the "parts" are lost or burned, the King of Hell is of no use.

This is completely different from the mechanism of ordinary medical ninjutsu.

"What is the effect of torture and sentencing?" Akaishi continued to ask.

Then, the "head" of the King of Hell emerged from the ground, revealing a large mouth from behind the "mask" at his chin... A purple tongue, resembling a "hand," protruded from the mouth—this was the same tongue that had just been used to plug his ears. Its bizarre appearance made Akashi feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"I will use my impartial tongue to silence the enemy's; if they dare to utter falsehoods, I will immediately defeat them!"

Even with its tongue sticking out, the King of Hell can still make sounds.

Akashi's expression turned sour at this moment—this thing was actually used to hold the tongue of the target being tortured.

As for the "detecting lies" function, it is quite useful, and if the enemy lies, they will be punished by having their tongue pulled out!

Judging from the previous trials, there must be an additional effect—the enemy whose tongue is being held will clearly know that if they lie, their tongue will be pulled out, and they will have no doubt about it...

Although Akaishi already possessed some interrogation skills,... the effects of Hell King's interrogation were clearly far more powerful, approaching the level of top-tier interrogation techniques. As for visual communication...

"Is that so?" Akaishi tried it out using the same method he had used to trigger the visual connection with the "Mirror Clone"—and it worked! Akaishi's brain began to process the two perspectives simultaneously in a familiar way.

but……

It's not that it's useless, but it's not very useful, especially since Akaishi has a mirror clone that can share vision!

"Can you fight directly? What about your body?" Akaishi asked curiously.

"My body is completely different from yours."

As the King of Hell spoke, his "head" continued to stretch upwards, and long, snake-like bodies appeared below. These bodies were not snake bellies, but rather an ever-expanding mouth filled with countless "hand-like" "tongues"...

Clearly, the physical structure of the King of Hell cannot be compared to that of a human.

It has no body in the human sense. What appears is not its head, but rather the front of its body. The back is a slender body completely occupied by its mouth, which contains numerous organs that resemble both a tongue and a hand.

Akaishi felt a little uncomfortable watching this, and then said, "Alright, alright... you can retreat now, so you can't fight directly?" Akaishi's question circled back to the original point, and the King of Hell retorted, "It's not that you can't, it's just that your strength is insufficient!"

Judging from this, if Akaishi were stronger, it would also be able to exert direct combat power.

After all, when summoning the King of Hell, what was summoned was its clone. The stronger the Crimson Stone is, the larger the clone it can summon! However…

Currently, the King of Hell cannot directly attack anyone in the human world. If he wants to pluck someone's tongue, Akashi needs to subdue the opponent first.

Seemingly sensing the "disappointment" in Akaishi's eyes, the King of Hell emphasized, "My form is invisible to ordinary people!"

Upon hearing this, Akaishi's expression shifted, and he immediately said, "Then... come out with me."

Akaishi walked out, and the head of "Prison King" followed behind him.

Although it appears to be buried underground, it is as if it does not exist in this world. It can "float" close to the ground and leave no trace on the ground.

After Chishi went out, he greeted the tribespeople who passed by as usual.

"Brother Akaishi".

Uchiha Jie and Uchiha Yang saw Akaishi come out and quickly went to greet him.

Clearly, Fugaku's two henchmen were waiting outside Akaishi's courtyard earlier.

"Sorry, I slept in a little longer," Akaishi said modestly—of course, there hadn't been a prior appointment, so Akaishi wasn't exactly breaking his promise. Yesterday at the banquet, Akaishi also informed the clan leader about the criteria for starting the "Rashomon Trial"—once every seven days for all contractors, one person per trial.

Therefore, after letting Akaishi rest, Kensuke went to help Fugaku start a trial!

Emotionally, Fugaku is the clan leader's only son; logically, among the young Uchiha, Fugaku is currently the most outstanding besides Akaishi. "No way, I'll go inform Fugaku-nii right away..."

"Brother Chishi, shall we go find the clan leader first?"

Jie said he was going to find Fugaku, while Yang and Akaishi came to the clan chief.

It was clear that Fugaku was also in a hurry, or perhaps he had been there all along. When Akaishi arrived, the clan chief, Fugaku, and the Lanyu clan elders were all present. "Clan chief, clan elders, Fugaku-nii," Akaishi greeted them as he entered.

"So early? Akashi, have you rested well?" Kensei asked anxiously.

"Just right, sleeping too long isn't good either," Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"Well..." Kensuke said, glancing at Fugaku beside him.

But just then, Lan Yu suddenly spoke up: "Chi Shi, you... um..."

Seeing the hesitant look on Elder Lan Yu's face, Chi Shi knew that Elder Lan Yu must have sensed something, after all... the King of Hell was right behind him!

"What...did you feel?" Akaishi asked curiously.

The reason why Chishi brought out the King of Hell was to test just how "invisible" it was.

Along the way, no one in the clan noticed anything unusual, not even the clan leader Jiancheng.

Seeing Chi Shi's reaction, Jian Cheng and Lan Yu knew that Chi Shi must have done something...

"What new ninjutsu have you come up with?" Lan Yu asked, puzzled.

Chi Shi didn't keep them in suspense and nodded, saying, "In the Land of No Return, besides Rashomon, I actually made a contract with something else... It doesn't have any direct combat power, and most people can't see it. How are you two feeling right now?"

"I just have a vague feeling..." Jian Cheng said.

Clearly, under normal circumstances, Kenshin would have noticed something amiss, but he was preoccupied with anticipating his son's trial and thus overlooked it. In other words, a top-tier Uchiha ninja under normal circumstances could only "vaguely sense something," and if distracted, would not notice it at all.

Without saying a word, Lan Yu activated his Sharingan and looked behind Akaishi...

Then, Lan Yu met Chi Shi's probing gaze and said, "Behind you... there are purple flames?"

Akaishi turned his head and looked at the King of Hell...

Indeed, at the point where the King of Hell contacts the ground, or rather, at the interface between it and this world, there is a light effect that resembles purple flames!

but……

Judging from what Elder Lan Yu said, he obviously did not see the true form of the King of Hell, but only the junction between the Avici Hell and the human world.

Lan Yu also understood Chi Shi's gaze—the crucial thing hadn't been seen yet!

then………

Mangekyou Sharingan, awaken!

Although the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan cannot be restored and may even cause irreversible vision damage, it doesn't consume much if it's just used for "taking a look".

more importantly……

As members of the Uchiha clan, how could they possibly sit idly by and watch "the younger generation have invisible summoning beasts that they can't see"?

As an Uchiha, isn't it normal to get "hysterical"?

"Lan Yu..." Jian Cheng glanced at him helplessly, and at the same time wanted to ask if he had seen anything—you've already opened everything, so I don't need to open mine.

"What...is this? Only one head has been summoned?" Upon seeing this, Lan Yu immediately deactivated her Mangekyou Sharingan, which then reverted to the Sanba pattern.

Lan Yu is clearly a "human thinker," judging from the appearance of the King of Hell, one might mistake it for a "head."

"A special creature from the Netherworld, which you might encounter during the assessment. You can't actively seek it out; you need to undergo additional trials to form a contract with it... Unfortunately, it doesn't have much direct combat ability; it's mainly used for interrogation and treating external injuries." Red Stone deliberately downplayed the level of the Hell King.
