Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 259 The Rampaging Shukaku

Around noon, Fenfu returned, and Pakula left.

"Benefactor Chishi, is something on your mind?" After finishing his porridge, Fenfu asked Chishi next door.

"Your Kazekage has returned defeated, and I'm thinking about how to take him down," Akaishi said shamelessly.

Anyway, Akaishi has said this more than once or twice, it would be strange if he didn't.

Seeing that Akaishi had turned over and was no longer paying attention to him, Fenfu didn't think much of it.

After all, Akaishi's intermittent bouts of depression and inexplicable elation had been going on for a month, basically cycling through this state—it was about time he "fell"!

Akaishi lay with his back to Bunfuku, feeling somewhat nervous.

However, it's not surprising that he's avoiding seeing Bunfuku now, because under normal circumstances, Akaishi should be immersed in the previous deconstruction, so it's normal for him to ignore him and talk less.

However, Akaishi had always been wary of this blessing, which is why he seemed a bit deliberate.

Fortunately, Fenfu didn't think too much about it.

At dinner time, Koya Maru arrived cursing and threw their food boxes into the stone cell.

Akaishi remained "asleep," and Koya Maru was already used to his strange routine.

"If you're not going to eat it, I'm taking it away—" Koya Maru said insincerely to Akaishi, then looked to the side and said, "Bunfuku, don't dawdle either!"

Fenfu picked up the bowl of porridge, hesitated for a moment, but still drank it down.

Akaishi was very nervous at this moment.

This is directly related to whether I can replicate my success in Kumogakure!

If he fails, he will have to face a seemingly stable Jinchuriki right at the start of his escape.

In the morning, Akaishi used genjutsu to hypnotize Itaro, revealing that the Sharingan's power was already capable of direct mental manipulation.

Akaishi didn't do much, didn't change his own will, just added two points!

One of his plans was to add the most concealed and potent poison he could find to Bunpuku's dinner. Sunagakure was also skilled in using poison because their puppet techniques made it easy to apply it, and even a Chunin was enough to find "good stuff".

Secondly, they shift the task of delivering dinner to others.

If Itarō himself came, Akaishi was worried that Bunpuku would see through it. This kind of mental manipulation illusion is persistent. Although Bunpuku is not a sensory ninja, he is very proficient in the "mind" aspect and might be able to detect it.

Therefore, Akaishi waited until today, when he was not around, to use illusion hypnosis on Itaro. And—the person who actually delivered dinner was someone else who had no idea that the porridge was poisoned and was not under the illusion spell, so naturally no one could see anything from him.

After finishing his meal, Koya Maru was about to take back the untouched food box from Akaishi, but—

"Uh—" Fenfu suddenly slammed the bowl down heavily.

"W-What are you doing?" Koya Maru was startled.

"Who touched tonight's porridge?" Fenfu asked in a deep voice.

"Touched? Nobody's here—oh, it was Itaro who gave it to me—it's gone bad?" Koya Maru asked, puzzled.

Akaishi lay motionless, but was on high alert.

"Ugh—" Bunfuku couldn't help but clutch his stomach, looking like he wasn't about to vomit: "Ugh—"

Immediately, Fenfu looked at the still motionless Chishi.

"Benefactor Chishi, it was you who did it—"

Before Fenfu could finish speaking, Chishi had already leaped into the air, forming a spirit communication hand seal with both hands as he soared. The next moment—

Thud—

The Uchiha fan and scythe were summoned by Akaishi!

Although Akaishi's weapon was captured by Sunagakure, it bears the mark of "Amazuma Spear," making it unusable for others. Furthermore, it is bound to Akaishi's soul, allowing them to summon it at any time. Along with it, the scythe chained to it is also bound to Akaishi.

As Akaishi gripped the fan and scythe, his chakra erupted!

At this moment, the stone prison was utterly insignificant to Chi Shi.

Wind Release: Great Scythe Itachi!

Akashi casually swung his scythe, and a sharp, enormous blade of air immediately sliced ​​through the stone fence, continuing his attack on Bunfuku.

After being poisoned, Fenfu had no time to react, but—

Thump, thump, thump—

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

Suddenly, a "tail" extended from behind Fenfu, protecting his body. Both Akashi's wind and fire techniques were blocked by the brownish-yellow tail covered in scales and runes.

Unlike when Akaishi saw the Nine-Tails' power leaking out on Kushina, this tail was very solid. It didn't look like it was condensed chakra; it looked like a miniature version of a part of the tailed beast's body.

Unlike when the Nine-Tails' chakra leaks out, it appears semi-transparent.

This is probably the difference between the two sealing techniques—

roar-

"Guard the crane, guard your heart!"

Bunpuku's face was now covered with rough skin similar to his tail, and even one of his eyes had turned a emotionless gold, clearly indicating that Shukaku within him was enraged.

However, Bunpuku tried his best to calm Shukaku down, hoping it would calm down, because if it went berserk, it would fall into the Uchiha's trap!

Unlike Orochimaru's "delicate work," Akaishi cannot release the tailed beasts.

The only thing Akaishi can do is directly threaten Bunpuku's life—either Bunpuku and Shukaku die together, or Shukaku takes over the body to protect Bunpuku. Either way, it would be advantageous for Akaishi.

Otherwise, with a stable Jinchūriki by his side, it would be much more difficult for Akaishi to escape!

Upon learning that the Kazekage would be returning soon, Akaishi decided to activate his three-layered Sharingan and immediately fled.

Although delaying for a longer period would grant Akaishi a "backup eye," but—

For Sunagakure, this will mean the addition of several skilled fighters, including the Kazekage!

Moreover, if we take action now, Chiyo and Ebizo's puppets should not have been fully repaired yet.

Shukaku immediately flew into a rage after realizing that Bunpuku had been poisoned.

On the one hand, it already has a certain degree of acceptance of Bunfuku; on the other hand, if Bunfuku dies, Shukaku will also die!

Although tailed beasts can be resurrected even if they die, that's something that happens sometime in the future.

"Old man! Don't resist! I'm saving you!"

"Thanks----"

Fukumi Shukaku was only using Tailed Beast Mode to force out the toxins, which is why he relaxed a bit.

For some reason, Akaishi also slowed down his attack at this time, and after Shukaku wrapped himself up, Bunpuku no longer felt attacked.

In Tailed Beast Mode, the toxin was quickly suppressed.

A moment later, Fenfu regained consciousness and saw—

Akaishi was holding Koya Maru in one hand, and with the other hand—he tore something off his face!

Seeing that Fenfu was looking over, Chishi smiled at him and said that the poison could only delay the attack for a while, which was already effective.

After Akaishi "pulled" it off, Koya Maru was already a faceless corpse. Then Akaishi made a grabbing motion across his own face, and as Akaishi's palm swept across, Akaishi's face had transformed into Koya Maru's appearance!

then----

Akaishi tore his clothes, looking disheveled, and burned Koyomaru's body. Then, ignoring Bunpuku, he turned and fled, shouting for help.

"Help! The One-Tailed Beast has gone berserk!"

"Help! The Tailed Beasts are terrifying!"

"Sharing good fortune is killing people!"

The unusual commotion had already attracted some Sand Ninja, and when they saw Koyomaru in such a disheveled state, they were even more shocked—the One-Tailed Beast had gone berserk? The thing they feared most had happened!

After the "Night of the Eight-Tails" in Kumogakure, Sunagakure became very wary of the One-Tailed Beast—or rather, Bunpuku, even though Bunpuku hadn't actually gone berserk. Everyone viewed him as a walking natural disaster.

It was precisely because of the constant stimulation from the outside world that Fenfu decided to voluntarily be imprisoned—this way, at least external factors could be avoided from affecting Shukaku, and he could concentrate more on his cultivation.

"What happened?" Pakura, one of the ninjas who arrived immediately, grabbed Koya Maru and asked.

Road.

"The One-Tailed Beast suddenly went berserk and even killed that Uchiha!" Koyomaru exclaimed in horror.

"What?" Pakula was also shocked. How could such a thing happen?

Pakula immediately put down Koya Maru and rushed towards the stone prison.

Meanwhile, a shaken Koya Maru ran a few steps and saw another familiar face, Itarō.

"Koyomaru, what's wrong?" Itaro asked hurriedly.

"Isn't it you who insisted that I bring you food? Is there something wrong with your food?" Koya Maru questioned while observing his surroundings.

"Bring me food?" Itaro was taken aback when he heard this, and began to recall that something seemed off about him just now.

but----

Just then, the pattern of three ba appeared in Koya Maru's eyes, and at the same time—Itaro's eyes also lost focus again.

A moment later, Koya Maru had disappeared, and Itaro bravely arrived at the stone cell.

Several Sand Ninja, including Pakura, were seen surrounding Bunpuku, who had clearly transformed into a Tailed Beast.

Everyone else was already on high alert, but Pakula remained standing between the two sides, trying to mediate and hoping for communication.

"Hehehe, foolish human, I've already said, this is helping this old geezer!" Shukaku's shrill voice rang out from Bunpuku's body in his tailed beast form.

"Shukaku, right? Lord Bunfuku, he—" Pakura felt something was off, and upon closer inspection—Koya-maru's figure seemed a bit strange just now.

Pakula had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but the pressure from the tailed beasts left her no time to think it through!

And it was at this moment—

Earth Release: Earth Mountain Technique!

Suddenly, two enormous hemispherical rocks rose up from either side of Bunpuku, who was showing signs of tailed beast transformation, and clamped down on him.

"Wait a minute—" Pakula exclaimed in surprise.

Turning my head, I saw that the one using ninjutsu was none other than—Itaro?

"This is only the initial stage of the tailed beast transformation. If it really breaks the seal later, our Sunagakure will suffer heavy casualties just like the Cloud Village. Don't be fooled, and don't let the One-Tail delay us!" Itaro shouted immediately.

The already tense and wary Sand Ninja, whose emotions had been calmed down by Pakura, were immediately reignited. "Yeah, how can you trust a Tailed Beast? They're definitely just stalling for time!"

In an instant, all sorts of ninjutsu and ninja tools were unleashed upon the trapped Shukaku.

Pakura realized something was wrong at this point. "Itoro? You can actually use such a powerful 'Earth Mound Technique'?"

But it was too late.

"You bastards! Just die!"

Shukaku is not known for his good temper. He was a Jinchūriki who was poisoned and almost died. Now he's been caught in a trap and shoved in the face. He immediately became furious.

A sharp sonic wave swept across the area as if it were a physical object, shattering not only the "Earth Mountain Technique" but also causing the surrounding Sand Ninja to be swept away as if struck by a heavy blow.

Pakula immediately looked at Itaro, the instigator, only to find that he had retreated much more thoroughly than the others, and was about to run away!

"You—you bastard!" Pakura saw the mocking smile that Itarou gave him as he left, and immediately realized—it was that Uchiha Akaishi!

However, at this point, the origin of the problem is no longer important.

The gigantic Shukaku body materialized—unlike the Eight-Tails, it looked like a "big fat guy," with a head like a tanuki, but what was most impressive were its pair of cold, golden eyes!

Anyone who witnessed this scene wouldn't wonder why Shukaku had gone mad; they would only think—

Shukaku has indeed gone berserk! We must suppress it as soon as possible!
