Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Seeing that the Hollow Serpent had fled far away, Akaishi breathed a sigh of relief. He estimated that he would be able to send the information about the "suspected Ebizo's appearance" back to the sanatorium in about fifteen minutes.

Minato was still trying to use the "Thousand Worlds Awakening Technique" to search for the enemy, but he had no success.

Minato's sensory ninjutsu was quite good, even among sensory Jonin.

but……

Minato is only eleven years old after all!

For a child of this age, they would not have graduated from the Ninja Academy yet.

As one of the five great ninja villages, it wouldn't be surprising if Sunagakure, with its superior sensory abilities, were to intervene if they were to truly reveal their true strength.

Even Ebizo is known for his sensory abilities; if it really is him, it's not surprising that he could surpass Minato.

"Shall we retreat first?" Claw asked Red Stone solemnly.

Although she was also concerned about Zhiwei's condition, if the other four were to die, the situation at the sanatorium would become even more dangerous, given that there were over forty wounded soldiers there...

If the sneak attack succeeds, this will be the greatest loss Konoha has suffered since joining the war!

"Wait a minute. If the enemy wanted to surround and kill us, they should have already cut off our retreat route by now," Akaishi emphasized.

Just then, Minato suddenly opened his eyes and said, "That's right! There are other small puppets behind us!"

For some reason, Minato was able to sense the small puppets again.

Akaishi was about to ask a question, but after exchanging a glance with Minato, he changed his mind and asked, "Is it chasing us or lying in wait?" "It just arrived three kilometers away from us and is lying in wait, in the direction of Shen," Minato confirmed.

Northeast? Sure enough, that was the direction they retreated in…

Akashi hesitated for a moment, then sat down cross-legged and said, "Wait for me a moment!"

As Akaishi spoke, he first created a "Mirror Clone," and then...

A look of "perverted pleasure" appeared on his face.

Although I don't know what the enemy is up to, they are ambushing and blocking, so they obviously don't want to engage in direct combat. In that case... I'm going to spend some time first to summon seven "half-blue mirror clones"!

If the enemy resolutely refuses to come out, then they will have to face an even stronger Akaishi; if they do come out… then it will disrupt the enemy's plans. Sure enough, just as Akaishi created his third half-Blue Mirror clone, Minato immediately said, "Those puppets are approaching."

Clearly, Akaishi and the others were being monitored and locked onto in real time.

Upon discovering that Akaishi was "stepping on his own foot with his left," the enemy immediately became restless...

The small puppets that had been lying in wait, intending to ambush the retreat route, now took the initiative to surround and attack.

Soon the four of them saw what it was...

These are small puppets, slightly larger than the previous "ants," with two antennae on their heads, and that look like cockroaches!

Once these things start moving, especially when they travel long distances at high speed, they emit chakra fluctuations, making them easier for Minato to detect. Also, as before, they are all self-contained puppets without a puppeteer's control, simply charging forward on command…

One of the mirror images, Red Stone, stepped forward, formed a hand seal, and unleashed a powerful gust of wind that swept towards the cockroach puppets, carrying dragon-shaped flames!

Combination Ninjutsu: Flame Dragon Hurricane!

crackling

The flames directly incinerated these "cockroaches," and it was clear that they didn't have any "explosive tags" on them. However, after being burned, each one emitted toxic smoke...

Because "Flame Dragon Hurricane" is actually a combination of "Great Dragon Fire Technique + Tornado Hurricane", a double B-rank ninjutsu combination, and also includes a B-rank wind release technique, the poisonous smoke posed no threat at all and was directly blown away.

at the same time……

"The direction of Gen!" Minato immediately said.

The three mirror images of Akaishi, Lanwu, and Claw had just assumed a defensive stance when Minato immediately changed his tune, saying, "They're still a hundred miles away, just entered my perception range... The enemy is in this direction!"

This time, it wasn't discovered when we got close, but rather at the edge of our perception range that we detected the enemy puppet approaching.

Before this, Minato should have been unable to sense this puppet, which was too far away and did not have a chakra core activated, but was only moving through mechanical structures...

Let's leave aside how we perceive it now.

The current situation also indicates that the enemy is most likely in this direction, and should be not far beyond Minato's perception range! After all, Minato had previously acted as if he couldn't perceive anything, so the enemy wouldn't deliberately create a diversion by having a small puppet approach from such a distance.

Upon hearing this, three mirror images of Akaishi immediately cleared a path, simultaneously ordering, "Go to meet them!"

Claw didn't offer any other opinions at this point. The enemy hadn't gotten any closer, so it was very likely... they were still fighting another patrol! Moreover, the Red Stone Squad was being completely outmaneuvered by the enemy's "sensory advantage + long-range self-sufficient puppets." Rather than that, it would be better to just charge in and face them head-on.

The Red Stone Squad's movement trajectory has just changed...

"The opponent's puppet has also been activated, trying to circle around in the direction of Ushi." Minato smirked at this moment.

The so-called "activation" refers to the puppet starting to use the chakra sealed in the "core" instead of simply moving by mechanical structures. This significantly increases its speed, but it will be even more pronounced under the "Thousand Worlds Awakening Technique".

Moreover, such actions by the other party are tantamount to trying to cover up an enemy, who is most likely in the direction they were in before!

"Full speed ahead!" Akaishi ordered directly.

The more the enemy tries to lure them away, the more it proves that Akaishi did the right thing!

Sure enough, not long after...

"Enemy detected! There are six of them... three Jonin-level and three Chunin-level!" Minato immediately reported.

"Where are Shinnosuke and the others?" Akaishi pressed.

After a brief silence, Minato said, "I didn't find anything."

There are two possibilities that were not found...

First, he's not here; second, he "will no longer emit chakra!"

"What's your level as a Jonin?" Lan Wu asked as well.

"Just average," Minato said matter-of-factly.

Dog Claw: ...

Claw really wants to say, how can you so casually categorize Jonin? What does "ordinary Jonin" even mean?

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Akaishi said in a deep voice.

Three Jonin and three Chunin—if it weren't for a master like Ebizo, Akaishi even felt that his four-person team had the advantage. With a master like Ebizo, although the risk was greater, but… now that the enemy had a sensory advantage, rather than being "played," it was better to just go straight for them!

Following the direction indicated by the water gate, the group arrived at a swampy area.

"Be careful, the opponent hasn't left, but is hiding their presence in the same spot... I'll guide them from the front. Three kunai correspond to three Jonin, and three shuriken correspond to three Chunin!" Minato said.

As they spoke, the Akaishi Squad began to change formation, with three mirror images of Akaishi at the front and Minato slightly behind.

Upon arriving at the swamp area, the group seemed to be passing through without realizing it, but just then...

swish swish

Minato suddenly threw shuriken and kunai in all directions...

The four Sharingan eyes were all fixed on Minato's ninja tools. Even though the tools Minato threw were extremely fast, they were clearly visible under the Sharingan's dynamic vision!

Three mirror-image Akaishi followed the three shuriken, while Akaishi himself...

Zi-wu-yin!

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

Simplified to three seals, a B-rank Fire Release technique was used. The moment the three kunai fell, Akaishi had already completed the hand seals.

The three-headed fire dragon was spewed out by the red stone and flew directly towards the landing point of the three kunai.

Two of the three kunai pierced directly into the swamp, while the third pierced a large tree nearby... The three-headed fire dragon followed closely behind!

If it were just "kunai," the lurking Sand Ninja wouldn't care, but what about the "fire dragon" that followed...

Just by feeling the heat emanating from afar, you know it's not to be trifled with.

Bang! Swoosh! Splash!

Two puppets emerged from the two swamps, each taller than a person. One looked like a gorilla with thick arms, while the other was thin and had six arms, each ending in a blade...

The gorilla puppet took the fire dragon head-on, while the six-armed puppet cleaved the fire dragon in two.

The third place, which was disguised and hidden in the tree trunk, was actually a self-driving puppet armor!

Ebizo, with his long face, was sitting on the shoulder of a giant, three-meter-tall puppet, at the position corresponding to its head...

At this moment, the giant armored golem crossed its arms in front of its body to block the "Great Dragon Fire Technique".

There's one thing that all three of them, including Akaishi, are wrong about!

When Minato judged that the three Jonin were "ordinary", Akaishi and Ranma also thought that it was not Ebizo who came, after all, Ebizo was a famous expert in Sunagakure.

But………

In reality, Ebizo's chakra was indeed just "ordinary Jonin level". It was only because his puppetry skills were superb and special, and he also had extraordinary perception, that he had such a great reputation. Chakra strength cannot completely determine combat power!

Having "average" chakra strength doesn't mean you can't be "outstanding".

None of the three had met Ebizo before, so they were unaware of this.

However, Akaishi is already quite satisfied with the current result...

Although the three opposing Jonin each managed to break through a third of the "Great Dragon Fire Technique," the impact was still considerable, and they weren't exactly at ease. This "Great Dragon Fire Technique" was originally intended as a distraction...

The real killer move lies in the other three "Mirror Clones"!

The three Chunin of Sunagakure all started with puppets, using the most common type of puppets directly controlled by chakra threads. Their models varied, some were human and some were beasts.

It was easy for the puppet to block the "Mirror Red Stone" in front of it, but...

All three mirror images of Red Stone were fighting with a life-or-death mentality, and naturally, they were all broken within three moves!

The next moment, two more mirror images of the Red Stone appeared in the chakra smoke from where the mirror images of the Red Stone had disappeared.

Although the displacement caused by the "Mirror Clone" splitting was not large, it just happened to bypass the puppet in front of it. The two mirror clones that appeared later were both behind the puppet...

At that moment, one of them grabbed a scythe and slashed at the chakra threads, while the other chased after the puppeteer behind them!
