Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 271 Real Sparring

April 15, Konoha Year 37.

A month has passed since Akaishi returned to Konoha, and now he can see that Hiruzen Sarutobi really wants to take a long vacation.

In the past month, Kato Dan's request to fight has been successful, and he has returned to the battlefield in the Land of Rain. Even Lan Wu has been assigned to the battlefield again, but Akaishi has not gone to the front line again.

In the past month, I've only been assigned one B-rank mission to an island nation in the eastern sea—because most Jonin are now...

Chunin are all in the Land of Rain, so even B-rank missions like this require special assignment.

Konoha has stopped accepting any other commissioned missions from civilians, except for the bandit suppression missions assigned from the City of Fire.

However, the mission authority over the eastern island nation was recently acquired by Konoha, and can be considered Sarutobi's first achievement since taking office. Therefore, it's not appropriate to completely halt the mission now.

Although the target was a pirate crew with wandering ninjas, with Akaishi, a genuine Konoha Jonin, there, and only two Chunin and Might Guy, a Genin, they wiped out the target and returned in a week.

Apart from this trip, Akaishi has been recuperating in Konoha.

This suited Akaishi's wishes perfectly.

In Training Ground 44, also known as the "Forest of Death," Akaishi was carrying a wooden frame on his back. A huge wooden hand moved up and down, forcing Might Guy to dodge everywhere.

However, Akaishi himself used the "wooden ribs" on the outside to block Might Guy's attack!

Although it was made of wood, Might Guy's attacks were hampered when they landed on it.

However, in the end, he couldn't stop himself—

With a snap, Red Stone's "wooden ribs" were broken by Might Guy's kick!

"Stop!" Akaishi shouted, seeing that Susanoo had been broken.

"Ah—sorry, I couldn't stop again." Might Guy scratched his head awkwardly.

Akaishi has now placed a large order for "Susanoo skeletons," which are essentially consumables during training.

"It's not your fault." Akaishi shook his head.

It's easy to make Might Guy simulate "extremely strong arm attack power". You win if you hit him, and just let him dodge as much as possible.

However, asking him to simulate "extremely strong rib defense" is a bit of a stretch, because Might Guy could destroy the wooden structure if he hit it!

But if you deliberately avoid touching it, then the simulation will not only be "extremely strong rib defense", but also "extremely high counter-damage of the ribs".

Otherwise, in actual combat where "Susanoo" is used, it doesn't mean that it can't be broken or touched. If someone really provokes you, they might just stab you with a kunai. That would just be stupid, not that you can't do it.

Through this period of training, Akaishi has become increasingly proficient in using "Susanoo" in battle, however—

Without actual combat, the training results seem to be limited to this.

But if we want real combat training—

Akashi may not care about the consumption of his eye power, but he needs a truly worthy opponent!

At this moment, Matt Damon showed a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

This expression is rarely seen on Might Guy's face!

"What's wrong?" Akaishi asked, puzzled.

"That—Akaishi—actually—"

This was the first time Akaishi had seen Might Guy so hesitant and stammering.

The next moment, Might Guy gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, you can try using your full power! Don't use this to simulate it, use your real power! Youth!"

Akaashi:? ? ?

Can you take Susanoo?

It's not that I look down on you taijutsu ninjas. Breaking wooden bones isn't impressive, but even if you train for another ten thousand years, you can't possibly injure a master of the Uchiha clan with a single kick.

"No, no, no, this power is really great, it's not something an ordinary ninja can withstand—" Akaishi shook his head repeatedly.

However, Might Guy then said seriously, "Actually—I'm not an ordinary ninja either!"

"Hmm, your physical skills are impressive," Akaishi said sheepishly.

"Akaishi, are there any ninjas nearby?" Might Guy asked seriously.

"Huh?" Akashi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Seeing that Matt Dai spoke so formally, Akaishi also summoned "King Yama of Hell".

At this moment, the King of Hell's eyes were covered with three stripes, making him appear even more imposing. After the power of the Red Stone Eye increased greatly, the strength that the King of Hell could exert in the human world also increased significantly.

The next moment, the King of Hell appeared and rose directly from the ground!

What's visible on the ground is a long "body"—at least it can be considered a body before it opens its mouth.

After rising like a towering pagoda, the "King of Hell" spun around in place, scanning its surroundings with its eyes—

Akashi quickly confirmed that there was no one else around. At this time, not to mention the "Death Forest," even ordinary training grounds were much emptier than usual.

After all, most Jonin and Chunin are on the battlefield, and only a small number are in the village. They only get a chance to come back and rest, so most of them don't want to train.

As for the genin who don't go to the battlefield, they have many missions and rarely train in the village.

Given Akaishi's current status, applying to enter the "Death Forest" for training would be very simple.

The reason for choosing this location was that Akaishi himself did not want to reveal the training content—the hidden target was naturally a certain Hokage to assist him!

"Nobody's paying attention here—do you have some secret?" Akaishi asked curiously.

Judging from Might Guy's mysterious demeanor, you can tell he has a secret he doesn't want others to see.

Matt Damon remained silent, instead resuming his starting stance—

Before Akaishi could even wonder, an astonishing aura erupted from Might Guy, and the materialized airflow caused Akaishi's clothes to flutter wildly.

The moment Might Guy unleashed his power, Akaishi instinctively activated his Sharingan.

From the perspective of the Sharingan, Might Guy's skin was slightly red, and his pupils appeared as two incandescent white orbs.

Green steam emanated from his body, and powerful bursts of chakra continuously erupted from within him!

Akaishi:————

Akaishi never expected that Might Guy would be hiding such power!

If it weren't for Akaishi's understanding of Might Guy, and even—Akaishi's confirmation of "no one around" just now, which made him particularly trust him—if any other "passerby" were to erupt like this in front of Akaishi now, Akaishi's first reaction would definitely be to shout a warning.

This is no longer within the scope of holding back your trump card!

Powerful ninjas often have a habit of holding back their trump cards, like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. Even now, it's uncertain whether Kensuke and Rangoku possess the Mangekyou Sharingan. Similarly, Akaishi avoids training with others, but—

Matt Day's situation is different.

He usually acts like he's not even fit to sit at the card table!

It turns out they actually have such strong power in private?

"Akaishi, I can't maintain this state for long. If you have any special powers, use them!" Might Guy's chakra exploded, and his voice hummed.

Although I don't know what happened—

But at least Akaishi is now certain of one thing—Might Guy wasn't lying or bragging before; he really can be a sparring partner for Susanoo!

At that moment, the markings in Akaishi's eyes surged, and crimson "bones" instantly formed around him, with a massive arm bone and palm bone swinging out—

Might Guy finally understood that Akaishi's wooden skeleton was indeed a "1:1 replica"!

"Akaishi, I'm here!" Might Guy said, using the Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique to approach Akaishi.

I go!

Akaishi couldn't help but marvel inwardly that with the Sharingan's dynamic vision, it was certainly possible to see clearly, but—

That's why Akaishi understands even more clearly how fast he is!

This speed is faster than Hatake Sakumo's normal speed, only slightly slower than when Hatake Sakumo "executes" his opponent.

With a "smack," Might Day kicked out directly, very quickly.

However, Akaishi also bent down slightly at the right time. It seemed like a small movement, but it was this slight lowering of his body that caused Might Guy's foot, which was originally aimed at the gap between the red ribs, to kick Akaishi's right red rib!

Akaishi has become familiar with this operation over this period of time.

Not only did he use "Wooden Susanoo," but he also discovered this fine-tuned defensive movement when sparring with Might Guy. He even practiced actually activating Susanoo himself afterward, and then he performed it with ease.

But----

Click, click-click—

From a super-fast perspective, Akaishi's eyeballs slowly turned toward the Susanoo skeleton that had been kicked—and saw that tiny cracks had appeared on it!

While inwardly marveling, Akaishi controlled Susanoo's right arm and swung it at Might Guy. However, Might Guy twisted his body and dodged to Akaishi's left side, then pushed off the ground with both feet and attacked Akaishi again.

Akaishi had no choice but to immediately twist his body, partly to fine-tune his ribs for effective defense, and partly to—

Using this as a pivot, Susanoo delivers a powerful elbow strike with his right arm!

This time, Might Guy immediately adopted a defensive stance, seemingly trying to block the attack with his arm.

But this time—

Kara-la-la—

Might Guy's arm visibly twisted before he was sent flying!

Thud—

Might Guy crashed hard into a tree, sending up a cloud of dust, but before Akaishi could even worry, the next moment—

Ku, ku, ku —

Suddenly, sparks of light appeared amidst the smoke and dust.

The next moment, several super-fast fireballs surged out from it and rushed towards the Red Stone!

Although Akaishi was stunned for a moment, his body moved in sync. He dodged whenever he could, and when he couldn't dodge, he used the Sharingan's dynamic vision to predict the trajectory of the fireballs and made slight adjustments to his body posture so that the fireballs would hit Susanoo's ribs!

It's normal for Akaashi to be stunned.

After all, in Akaishi's mind, Might Guy was completely incapable of ninjutsu.

Therefore, when Akaishi sparred with him, he never had to think about any ranged attacks. Might Guy's ranged attack methods were limited to throwing ninja tools at most—which posed no threat to the Sharingan!

However, these fireballs not only surprised Akaishi's understanding of Might Guy, but also his understanding of "Fire Release".
