Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 290 Red Stone's Calculation

"Outsourcing?" Jian Cheng frowned, not understanding.

"It's like our Konoha Village takes on the mission first, and then we spend part of the bounty to hire Sunagakure to carry it out," Akaishi explained.

Upon hearing this, Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Isn't this just giving Konoha an extra bounty? Not only Sunagakure, but also the Land of Wind—and other employers—definitely won't accept it. Even if they are forced to accept it temporarily, they will definitely send more missions directly to Sunagakure later."

Small countries without ninja villages can directly divide up mission areas, and in the future, they can only hire Konoha ninjas.

However, for a large country like the Land of Wind, the only option is to "open the mission area to Konoha." In order to get the Land of Wind to choose Konoha and further squeeze the living space of Sunagakure, Konoha will have to be exceptionally "good value for money."

Akashi shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, of course it's not about making them spend more money, but rather making them spend even less—just to make the Sunagakure ninja suffer in the end!"

Jian Cheng was stunned upon hearing this, and hadn't yet reacted.

Seeing this, Akashi continued, "Of course, Konoha can't just do nothing and take a share for free. That would make it too easy for Sunagakure to exclude them. We also have to be responsible for the mission's front and back stages—especially supervision and after-sales service!"

"If the Sand Village mission is not carried out properly or cannot be resolved, we must urge the Sand Village to provide better services to its employers!"

Jiancheng understood this time.

In short, Sunagakure bore the brunt of everything, while Konoha profited immensely.

This would indeed reduce the situation where Konoha would find themselves putting in a lot of effort for little reward when directly carrying out missions for the Land of Wind.

More importantly, Akaishi also said that the most important thing is to ensure the quality of the mission, which means that the most important thing Konoha needs to do is "oversight"!

Speaking of Konoha's regulatory body, the Uchiha clan certainly doesn't need to be sleepy—

Seeing the clan leader's eyes light up, Akaishi knew what he was thinking, so he quickly reminded him, "Clan leader, if you really want to make a suggestion to that Sarutobi Hiruzen, then please don't try to get all the benefits for the Security Department—"

Otherwise, things that could be accomplished will become impossible!

"Don't worry, I understand," Jian Cheng nodded.

Yugakure is just a small ninja village, and—the relief fund was actually brought about by Akaishi alone, so it's understandable that the lion's share was given to the Uchiha clan.

If the Uchiha clan wants to take the lion's share of the "post-war compensation" from Sunagakure after such a huge battle, it's probably not just a matter of Danzo Shimura disliking them!

But no matter what—

This is all thanks to the expertise of the security department!

"Actually—if the security department is short-handed at that time, you can suggest recruiting other ninjas to join, so as to avoid—" Akaishi hesitated for a moment, and took the opportunity to subtly introduce this matter to the clan leader.

The Uchiha clan, which held complete control of the security forces, already had many problems.

Especially after the dark side was established —

When there was no Anbu, the Security Department had a lot of real power, so it was worth sacrificing some popularity and reputation. But after the Anbu took over, the Security Department didn't have that much real power to begin with, and as a result, it had to strain its relationship with other ninjas in the village, and even take part of the blame for the Anbu!

"No way! Akashi, are you out of your mind? How can the Security Department let other ninjas in?" Yang Yong immediately jumped up and retorted to "the Uchiha's gifted strategist".

Akaishi:————

Sure enough, there's very little room for discussion about this kind of thing within the clan.

"Yang Yong, you didn't understand what Akashi meant—Alright, you guys go and send those people from the Land of Sky to Yugakure. Keep an eye on the Anbu and Root members, don't let them secretly speak ill of us Uchiha." Kensei said reassuringly, using this as an excuse to send Yang Yong away.

After Yang Yong and Gong Zhijiu left—

"Clan leader—" Akaishi wanted to say something more.

However, Jian Cheng interrupted, "Alright, you're still young. You should focus your energy on cultivation. If you want to become a clan elder, you'll have to wait until after you get married."

Akaishi:————

Is this a disguised way of pressuring someone to get married?

Seeing Akashi's strange expression, Kenji added, "It's not that I'm asking you to propose marriage right now. Thirteen is indeed too young to get married now, but it was quite normal during the Warring States period—well, it's early now, but it's only a few years away."

"Clan leader—I'm fourteen," Akaishi added.

Jiancheng looked at Chishi and said in a deep voice, "Yes, you're fourteen."

Akaashi:? ? ?

Akashi didn't quite understand what the clan leader meant.

So who are they talking about?

Before Akaishi could ask any more questions, Kensei changed the subject again.

"Did you get the Sage of Six Paths' reward?" Jiancheng asked after making sure no one else was around.

"Yes!" Akaishi nodded.

"Improve bloodline?" Jian Cheng confirmed.

Akashi had previously told Kensuke that the reward was usually a choice between "bloodline purity" and "Six Paths Treasure".

"That's right—I also obtained the trial qualification for Dragon Cave. Ancestor Yuyi is considerate of us direct descendants and said that if the opportunity is right, we can bring others along," Chishi said confidently.

Jian Cheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Sure enough, this reward should be collected by Akashi.

Last time I got an extra "Heavenly Swamp Spear Mark", and this time I also got an extra "Ryuchi Cave" —

However, Jiancheng didn't rush to ask about the "Dragon Cave," but instead confirmed with Chishi, "How much has your bloodline improved this time?"

Upon hearing this, Akaishi said helplessly, "I feel the improvement is much smaller—it's still a bit behind Elder Chiri and Elder Setsuna."

Originally, Chishi couldn't accurately determine how much his bloodline purity differed from that of the "clan's genius" —

However, Akaishi now possesses the eyes of that moment and the grandmother who governs her, so he can use these as a reference to determine the "sensitivity" of his Sharingan.

Originally, Akashi thought that this time he could be directly promoted to the level of "genius of the clan".

Jian Cheng wasn't surprised and said, "You were able to improve so much before because your foundation was too weak—just look at Gold Horn and Silver Horn. If improving bloodlines was that effective, why would they choose so many Six Paths Treasures?"

Upon hearing this, Chishi understood the clan leader's meaning.

That makes sense when you think about it.

If the enhancement effect continues to be this good, wouldn't Gold Horn and Silver Horn be invincible if they just went all in on their bloodlines?

Although it is unknown how many times Kinkaku and Ginkaku completed the seal repair, they ultimately chose at least five Noble Phantasms, meaning at least five rewards. Kinkaku and Ginkaku judged that the cost-effectiveness of bloodlines was no longer as good as that of Noble Phantasms.

Moreover, although the purity of their bloodlines was extremely high at this time, it wasn't exceptionally high—although both were strong, they were no match for Hiruzen Sarutobi in a one-on-one fight if they didn't use their Noble Phantasms.

Rather than saying the improvement was small, it's more accurate to say that...

It would be strange if it improved so much on its first try!

As Jiancheng said, it must have been because Chishi's foundation was too weak the first time that the effect became so obvious.

"However, you were already able to use Susanoo with your ordinary Sharingan before—if you can further improve your eye power and use the second—no, if you can use the first stage of Susanoo regularly, the Uchiha clan will have another truly decisive expert!" Kenjo encouraged.

Kensuke learned from Jiri's message that Akaishi could use "Susanoo" and had just witnessed it with his own eyes not long ago.

"I'm still far from having the Mangekyou Sharingan that you, clan leader, possess," Akaishi said modestly.

However, Jian Cheng shook his head and said, "Completely different. The Mangekyou Sharingan is ultimately not a power used in normal circumstances; it can only be used as a trump card for intimidation. Ever since Madara Uchiha defected, until Kagami rose to power, the Uchiha clan has actually lacked a truly decisive expert. Now—"

Jiancheng shook his head sadly—the death of Jing was actually a huge blow to the Uchiha clan.

Although Kenshin, Lan Yu, and Kagami are known as the "Uchiha Three Treasures," and indeed, if all three of them used the Mangekyou Sharingan, their strength would be roughly the same—they would all be wildly attacking with Susanoo activated—in their normal state, Kenshin and Lan Yu are a notch below Kagami.

"Mirror Clone" allows Mirror to fight against top-tier fighters without using the Mangekyou Sharingan.

As for that Uchiha Madara—

Jian Cheng didn't want to go into details, since the origin of his "Eternal Kaleidoscope" was already controversial within the clan.

"I dare not speak for the second stage, but the first stage—we will definitely achieve it!" Seeing the clan chief's reaction, Akaishi stopped being modest and instead confidently comforted him.

After this bloodline enhancement, Akashi is even more confident that as long as he follows the steps and develops the Sharingan to its peak, he will definitely be able to reach the threshold of the first stage of Susanoo.

Furthermore, for other Uchiha clan members with the Sharingan, this process, unless during extremely fierce warfare, would require a long time to accumulate emotional stimulation. But for Akaishi—

Even if nothing extraordinary happens, one or two years is enough!

Kensuke nodded with satisfaction—only when the first stage is reached can "Susanoo" be considered to be truly used, with no gaps in the ribs and both arms intact. Right now, Akaishi's "Susanoo" is still just a prototype.

Afterwards, Kensuke also confirmed the situation of Ryuchi Cave with Akaishi.

"It's just a test of Sage Mode—" Kensuke said with some disappointment.

I thought I could receive it directly!

"Could it be that the White Snake Sage doesn't want to join the Ninja Clan?" Jian Cheng frowned.

Jiancheng now sees it as somewhat like a demon god.

Chi Shi chuckled awkwardly, not taking over the topic, but instead saying, "However, Ancestor Yu Yi reminded me that my physical strength is not enough—I'm afraid this special power requires very strong physical qualities to withstand. Clan leader, you can remind suitable clansmen to focus on improving this aspect."

"Isn't your body enough too? —" Jian Cheng frowned even more.

Although Akaishi is still young and hasn't fully matured, his physical abilities are already considered very good among the three Uchiha clan members who have awakened their Sharingan due to his talent for Yang Release Chakra Transformation!

If even red stones aren't enough, then what about the rest of the clan—

"By the way, the old ancestor Yu Yi didn't say that he could only bring the Uchiha clan—so I thought I'd ask Captain Orochimaru later."

""

Uchiha Hagoromo just wanted to gloss over the topic at the time, so of course he didn't go into details!

"You and Orochimaru are quite familiar with each other?" Jiancheng frowned upon hearing this.

"He took good care of me when we were on the same team before," Akaishi said kindly—although Orochimaru wasn't very good at teaching, Akaishi didn't hold it against him and even thought of him when there were good things to do.

Although the impression that Chief Kensuke had given Akashi was that he was more considerate of the big picture, he was definitely not the type to selflessly share resources with ninjas from other clans.

Jiancheng clearly has objections to Akaishi's decision. Even if we don't need it, there's no need to give it to outsiders!

If it were Lanwu, that would be one thing—Orochimaru is just an acquaintance, isn't he?

"Besides, Orochimaru is very knowledgeable about the human body. I told him that my physical strength is not enough and I can't take him with me for the time being—he will definitely find a way to deal with the rest!" Akaishi said with a wave of his hand.

Jian Cheng's eyes lit up. Now that he felt better, he nodded slowly, seemingly deep in thought. He then said, "Orochimaru has indeed been searching for the location of Ryuchi Cave. He even came to the Uchiha clan to borrow books."

Orochimaru even sacrificed several ninjutsu he created for this.

Immediately, Jian Cheng's expression shifted, and he said, "When you go, don't say you can bring outsiders. Just say you can only bring members of the Uchiha clan, and see if you can get him to marry into the family."

It's clear that the Uchiha clan suffered many casualties in the war.

Jiancheng is extremely enthusiastic about matchmaking!
