Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 288 Topic

哎—

"You must remember the dangers of Sage Mode and never let your guard down —"

Akashi faintly heard the Sage of Six Paths sigh again, and then leave behind a final sentence.

Although he didn't understand what Uchiha Hagoromo was feeling, Akaishi quickly became immersed in the sensation of his bloodline being enhanced.

When the Sage of Six Paths was enhancing Akashi's bloodline, he also focused on sensing Akashi's physical condition.

weak.

Indra and Asura were born with the gifts of their eyes and bodies, respectively.

Although Indra's body was not exactly "weak," it certainly did not inherit his father's body.

Just like how he and his younger brother inherited their mother's "two eyes" and "third eye" respectively, but they couldn't communicate with each other—

The Sage of Six Paths studied this his entire life, yet he still only vaguely understood it.

Unfortunately, because Akaishi is a descendant of Indra, the Sage of Six Paths could only enhance Akaishi's bloodline along Indra's lineage. Otherwise, he would have liked to further strengthen Akaishi's body to prevent him from becoming too dangerous when training in Sage Mode.

The reason he expressed his feelings was that he felt it was indeed dangerous for Akaishi's body to rashly accept the test of Sage Mode, so he left a warning at the end.

As for the "two rewards" given to Akaishi this time, and even more so if you include the fact that Akaishi can take others to Ryuchi Cave, it's practically "three rewards" —

The Sage of Six Paths comforted himself with this thought.

It was merely a recommendation for the Indra family's brat to go to Ryuchi Cave—it was simply permission for him to recommend others to Ryuchi Cave as well—

Giving Indra's descendants some more benefits now would be a fair way to treat everyone equally!

After all, I'm the fairest person.

When Akaishi came to his senses after experiencing the "bloodline enhancement," he found himself on the ground—not the ground above the Sky Hidden Village fortress, but the real ground!

After Akaishi repaired the seal of "Void", he no longer had the chakra that could be infinitely converted from human suffering to replenish it, so the Void Village fortress naturally lost its power and began to fall.

Fortunately, below lies a primeval forest at the border of the Land of Wind and the Land of Hot Water.

Fortunately, the Sky Village fortress did not completely "go out" all at once, but gradually ran out of chakra and slowly fell down.

Although the commotion was significant, it did not result in any major disaster.

"Clan leader? Ah—where are those two from Sunagakure?" After figuring out the situation, Akaishi immediately asked Kensuke, who was standing guard beside him.

"They ran away. They ran away when they ran out of chakra to replenish their energy," Jian Cheng said, shaking his head—in a tone that suggested they were lucky to have escaped quickly.

Even without an "unlimited chakra supply," Luo Yan and Kanaro would still have the advantage against two skilled Uchiha fighters, plus a medical jonin (of considerable strength) and an explanatory jonin, but—

As the "unlimited chakra supply" stopped, the two realized that something must have happened in the fortress, and Uchiha Kensuke might return at any time!

Moreover, they were unable to achieve any significant results against the four Konoha ninjas for the time being.

More importantly, if something happens to the Hidden Void Village, then their mission will have failed.

They came here for two reasons: firstly, to form an alliance; and secondly, if given the opportunity, Sunagakure would not mind taking the fortress into its own hands. That's why the two clan leaders came!

The fortress now looks broken.

Whether or not the Hidden Empty Village still exists after that, it's no longer of any use to the Hidden Sand Village.

Seeing that they could not achieve any results at the strategic and tactical levels and were even at risk, the two decided to withdraw.

"By the way, clan leader—what about those people from the Sky Country?" Akaishi asked, remembering something else.

"Those ninjas? They're either dead or they ran away in the chaos—most likely they couldn't escape." Jian Cheng shook his head, not paying any attention to the "pursuit."

After the fortress began to fall, many air ninjas tried to glide away while they still had altitude.

The few people on the fortress at the time were indeed unable to stop so many people from leaving.

but----

There are still three Uchiha clans lying in wait below!

Although a lot of people came out at once, those who could withstand the Sharingan's genjutsu have basically all been affected, and those who can actually escape are probably less than one in ten.

Kensuke didn't care about these ordinary ninjas; even if some slipped through the net, so what?

"Not them—I mean those in the control room." Akaishi wanted to ask about the ordinary people of the Sky Country.

"It's buried there, I wonder if the internal structure can hold it up." Jiancheng said, looking at the waterlogged "basin" next to him.

The fortress crashed into the ground beside a small river in a primeval forest. Now, the fortress is lower than the ground level, and the river water has immediately flooded in. The outline of the fortress can still be seen, but—it will be buried sooner or later.

Akaishi looked at it and felt there was still a chance!

"Chieftain, let's try to go in and rescue them," said Chishi.

At this time, the overall outline of the fortress was still intact, and the collapsed parts should all be the additions made by the Hidden Village itself; the core of the main body was very sturdy.

If the internal structure is still intact, water won't be poured in immediately—it should be possible to save some people!

"Save them?" Jian Cheng frowned upon hearing this—he didn't see any need for it.

I didn't lock it up, so why should I go and rescue it?

"Clan leader, the Land of Hot Springs is not far ahead. The Land of Hot Springs is sparsely populated, so these people can move there directly. Moreover, if we—Konoha—save them, they will definitely be grateful to Konoha, and the Land of Hot Springs will be more inclined towards Konoha in the future!"

When Akashi saw Guan Ze standing to the side, he changed what he was going to say, "Uchiha clan," to "Konoha."

The Uchiha clan originally had the task of "long-term supervision" in Yugakure.

If a large number of people in the Land of Hot Water still feel immense gratitude towards the Uchiha clan, then the situation here will be even more stable.

Jian Cheng understood what Chi Shi meant, and nodded slowly, seemingly still thinking.

Akaishi then asked in confusion, "By the way, where's Nonou?"

"She went in right away—oh no! Gongzhi Jiu, take men down immediately, don't let the Roots get there first!" Jian Cheng said immediately.

Akaishi:————

Guan Ze is right here, do you really have to be so explicit?

After learning that there were still many people inside, Nonou wanted to persuade the Uchiha clan head to go down and rescue them, but—

All he got in return was a "Uchiha sneer".

Nono then went down alone.

Originally, Nono was not strong enough on her own, but now with the help of the Uchiha clan, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

at last----

-

Just as Akaishi had predicted, most of the people were rescued.

"You should remember that it was your Sky Kingdom's prince who imprisoned you, right?"

"While we don't know whether you did it voluntarily or were tricked, remember this: it was our Uchiha clan that saved you and forgave your participation in the war against Konoha!"

"The Land of Hot Springs is just ahead. We've already informed the Hidden Hot Springs Village. From now on, live here with gratitude for the Uchiha clan!"

Kensuke delivered a very Uchiha-esque speech in front of the survivors.

In an instant, Nono and Kanzawa were also unwittingly given the surname Uchiha.

"The clan chief means that if the third generation were here, he would definitely forgive them," Akaishi said awkwardly.

Guan Ze didn't seem to be tattling; instead, he comforted them, saying, "Yes, it's all thanks to Captain Akashi that they were rescued."

Guan Ze saw it clearly: if Akaishi hadn't spoken up, the Uchiha clan head wouldn't have even bothered to try and win people over.

Guan Ze then noticed that Chi Shi was gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought, so he took the initiative to ask him.

"Oh—I was thinking that now that the problem of the Hidden Sand Village has been resolved, Konoha should be able to regain its advantage on the battlefield in the Land of Wind—this time we must defeat the Hidden Sand Village!" Akaishi said confidently.

Seeing Captain Akaishi's deep concern for Konoha, Guan Ze couldn't help but feel moved.

Of course, Akaishi was actually thinking about something else—Ryuchi Cave.

The Sage of Six Paths had already left him the coordinates of Ryuchi Cave, which was located in the deep mountains where the Land of Rivers, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of Wind meet—not far from here!

However, remembering that the Sage of Six Paths had reminded him until the very end not to rush into training "Sage Mode," Akaishi followed his advice and abandoned his idea of ​​going there immediately.

When Guan Ze and Nonou weren't around, Gong Zhiji came over and complained, "Sigh, we can only subdue them by force. Now that we're not the First Hokage anymore, there's probably no chance of destroying Sunagakure and annexing the Land of Wind!"

Gongzhi Jiu had obviously heard what Akaishi had just said, which is why he came over to complain.

As for why I would suddenly say this?

Koji Kyu was already over forty years old and not familiar with Akaishi, but he wanted to socialize with this rising star.

The best topic of conversation among the Uchiha clan that transcends age is none other than the Hokage of each generation.

Upon hearing this opening line, Akaishi roughly knew what he was going to say—after all, the Jonin of the Uchiha clan usually only had this many topics to discuss when talking about important village matters.

"Exactly, exactly. Destroying a ninja village now is much more difficult than it was thirty years ago. It's not just a matter of strength. It can only be said that the First Hokage and his people missed the opportunity to unify the ninja world!" Seeing that Guan Ze and Nonou were not there, Akaishi changed the subject to "the mere First Hokage".

In front of the clan's "children," everyone was more reserved, but once they reached the Jonin level, the popular topics among the Uchiha were limited to these few—

Yang Yong overheard some of this and immediately came over. Whenever the topic of Naruto came up, the Uchiha clan's Jonin could always quickly find common ground.

Yang Yong also mentioned the gossip he had heard before: "I heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi had already planned how many missions from the Land of Wind to be taken from Sunagakure when the battle was at its most advantageous —"
