Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 276 Requesting Battle

Upon hearing Grandma Chiri's decision, Akaishi was taken aback.

"Those old fogies, which one of them is easy to deal with? They're only a little more obedient now that they're blind," Zhili said, shaking his head.

Seeing that Akaishi remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, Zhili sighed: "Sigh, you're still young—this period of your growth should be the most harmonious time in the clan."

Upon hearing this, Akashi thought about it for a moment and realized that it was indeed true. How could I not know whether the Uchiha clan was a good bunch or not?

The Uchiha clan's current reputation in Konoha is something they have built up little by little.

Even internally, it is by no means known for its friendliness. The current relative harmony is only because the civil war ended just twelve years ago.

The previous civil war was extremely brutal.

If you really think that the Uchiha clan is united and friendly—then Akaishi's parents in Elysium, and Uchiha Mumei lying in the seal of the Land of Whirlpools, have something to say!

"Well—Grandma Chiri, I actually wanted to try and see if I could help you recover your eyesight too," Akaishi said at this moment.

It was clear that Chiri's expression wasn't calm upon hearing this, but she still managed to regain her composure and asked, "Your special eye technique—really won't harm you?"

It won't necessarily "harm oneself," but it will cause a long delay.

If it were a non-war, non-resting state, Akaishi, as a Jonin, and a very strong one at that, would normally have one or two A-rank missions and two or three B-rank missions per month. With such a mission frequency, Akaishi's recovery period would probably be even longer, about half a year!

"Okay, after that, don't tell the other members of your tribe—and especially not outsiders. When you are able to repair it for others, I will take you there privately to tell them," Zhili advised.

If the old blind man of the Uchiha clan knew that Akaishi could restore blindness, not to mention how many "new ideas" would be generated, just the question of who would do it first would cause them to fight!

even----

Little Red Stone, how come it takes you half a year to repair one?

Can I improve? Am I not working hard enough?

As for letting people outside the Uchiha clan know that Akaishi can cure those old blind men—

That would make the problem even bigger!

Needless to say, the enemy would react if they knew, even "one of our own" from the same village would probably have ulterior motives.

"Grandma Chiri, I understand." Akaishi nodded.

"Little Akaishi, are you sure your body is okay after transplanting two Sharingan eyes at the same time?" Zhili was still worried.

Akaishi just said that repairing his Sharingan had no side effects, the only problem was that it took a long time.

but----

Clearly, Akaishi's "repair" requires transplanting the Sharingan into himself first—which in itself is a kind of pressure.

"It's okay, I can handle this!" Akaishi said confidently.

This is indeed not a problem.

Akaishi's "transplantation surgery" was, after all, performed by "King Yama of Hell"!

Although Akaishi did not cultivate "Earth Grudge" and did not generate a true "Black Grudge Tentacle", he could not be immune to the rejection of foreign organs or make full use of them. However, the way the Sharingan in his palm is connected to Akaishi's nerves is somewhat similar to the "Black Grudge Tentacle", at least allowing him to disconnect and reconnect at any time.

In other words, when Akaishi doesn't use the transplanted Sharingan, it's separate from Akaishi. It's just contained within Akaishi's body to maintain its activity, but it's not used as an eye, so it doesn't consume much Yang Release chakra.

Of course, this will also prevent the "transcription seal" from being triggered, so it is still necessary to maintain the connection when there is a potential danger.

"Since that's the case—don't rush to return the eyes of that moment; just pretend they never existed." At this moment, Chiri also activated the Uchiha bloodline.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi nodded heavily in agreement.

Chiri immediately fell into thought. Akaishi was puzzled, not understanding what Chiri's grandmother was thinking about, but he did not interrupt her.

After a moment, Zhili said, "Since Setsuna's right eye is Tokoyo" — then you can take my left eye first! If it is repaired, you don't need to worry about anything on the battlefield, whether it is Tokoyo or the "Divine Spirit" in my left eye, you can use it when necessary!

Although "My Divergent God" consumes more energy, there is also more Kaleidoscope power remaining in my left eye, so its usage time is no shorter than that of "Tomorrow's World" in a moment.

Akaishi then understood that what Grandma Chiri was hesitating about was which eye she should give him!

Although it was for treatment, when it was possible to use it, Jiri also considered the ability combinations for Akaishi.

"Grandma Chiri, is your 'divine spirit' also a continuous ability?" Akaishi asked curiously.

Zhili nodded and said, "That's right. The effect of the Divine Intervention is that after activation, one can see the divergent paths of the future—depending on the amount of pupil power invested, one can make multiple different choices at the same time, leading to different futures, and one of the choices can be made seven seconds in advance."

Akaishi:————

Akaishi looked at Jiri and couldn't help but blink.

Your abilities are amazing!

Is this a bit targeted?

You can see the future three seconds ahead for a fleeting moment, but Chiri can choose one of several options to change the future and make it a reality seven seconds earlier!

Was this a complete targeting?

He could only see one future, while Chiri could try multiple, and the time for "decision" was longer than his "foresight"—which directly rendered his "worldly existence" useless.

Even if she is "forced into a corner" and chooses to start over with "Izanagi", she will still be locked into "inevitable failure" by Chiri with "Izanami".

hiss-

"Little Akaishi, you don't think that Grandma Chiri's abilities are insidious, do you?" Chiri's smile became even more benevolent.

Akaishi:————

"No, no, I think that the power of that instant, like Izanagi, doesn't respect time. It's Grandma Chiri's power that protects the seriousness of time and fate!" Akaishi said confidently.

Upon hearing Akaishi's words, Chiri laughed.

Akaishi now believes that the reason Grandma Chiri "respects time" is because she is unhappy with others disrupting her "divine intervention."

The effect —

When Akaishi left Grandma Chiri's place, he also had a "spare eye" installed in his right hand. However, for the time being, this "spare eye" was not very useful and was just waiting for Akaishi to raise money for surgery.

On January 2nd, just after the New Year, Akaishi and Might Dai were sparring in the Forest of Death—after learning about the "Eight Gates," Akaishi refused Might Dai's offer to open six more gates for him to spar with.

Opening the six gates causes damage to the body that cannot be completely eliminated by rest alone; the extent of the damage varies.

At this moment, the two were engaged in simulated training again.

"Um?"

Akashi suddenly lost focus and stepped back. Seeing this, Might Guy also stopped.

The next moment————

Suddenly, a ninja wearing an ANBU mask darted out and approached Akaishi: "Jonin Akaishi, the Hokage requests your presence."

"I understand, the Hokage's office, right?" Akaishi nodded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi came to find him, just as Akaishi had expected, only a little earlier than he had anticipated.

Arriving at the Hokage's office, Akaishi met the Third Hokage, and—

The fact that Danzo was not seen put Akaishi in a good mood.

"Akaishi, how have you been resting lately?" Sarutobi asked with a smile after Akaishi knocked on the door and came in.

"I rested well, but—my Sharingan is already incredibly thirsty!" Akaishi said cheerfully.

Seeing that Akaishi had volunteered for the battle, Sarutobi nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved."

Immediately, Sarutobi said, "You must have heard about the incident at the Hidden Cloud Village, right? This small ninja village doesn't have many experts, but—their flying abilities, especially that floating fortress, are extremely troublesome!"

"Just now, I also received a letter of request for battle from Clan Chief Kensuke. Clan Chief Kensuke said that he could gather the strength of the Uchiha clan to take down the fortress of the Hidden Cloud Village for Konoha."

"Considering that there is some special energy source involved, it may require sealing techniques. Clan Chief Jiancheng also hopes that you can go there and carry out this mission together."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was deeply moved by Kensuke's request to fight.

Since it was the Uchiha clan that volunteered for the mission, it was reasonable for Akashi to go to the front line. After all, Akashi could fly (riding Mujina) and use powerful sealing techniques (with Mujina), making him a good candidate for the mission in every way.

Ever since he heard about the events at Kongyin Village, Akashi had anticipated that the clan leader would likely volunteer for battle!

After all, Chishi had previously told Clan Chief Jiancheng about things like "Six Paths of Afterimages" and "the reward for repairing the seal."

After hearing about "Hidden Void Village," especially the floating fortress, Chief Jiancheng naturally wondered if something there might have escaped the seal.

Therefore, Jiancheng certainly couldn't let the opportunity slip by.

Not only did he volunteer to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he also specifically requested that Akaishi also come.

If the seal of the Sage of Six Paths is indeed faulty, then—as before—either the baboon or the Akashi who possesses the Rashomon contract might be able to repair the seal.

If there are rewards this time, Jiancheng also feels that piling them on Chishi would yield the highest returns!

Firstly, because Chishi is the youngest among the Sanba people; secondly, because Chishi's aptitude is basically the worst among the Sanba people. In this way, the Sage of Six Paths' "bloodline purification" is cost-effective.

After hearing what Hiruzen Sarutobi said, Akaishi immediately expressed that he was very willing to accept the mission.

"Good! The Uchiha truly live up to their reputation as pillars of Konoha—" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Akashi with satisfaction, then said, "This time, I'll have 'Zhou' and Yakushi Nonou go with you!"

Sarutobi's words were very righteous, but when Akaishi saw the setup—one Anbu member and one Root member—he realized that Sarutobi was indeed acting as a supervisor, especially with the Root member present. Akaishi suspected that it was Shimura Danzo who had instigated this.
