Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 293 Clang, clang, clang...

Four corpses lay before Jiraiya and Akaishi.

Upon seeing the two corpses of civilians from the Land of Rain, Jiraiya and Akaishi both frowned. Judging from the wounds, one had been instantly killed by a kunai, and the other—it seemed to be an accidental killing during a scuffle.

and----

Although the difference was not significant, the two recognized that the kunai that caused the wound was the standard kunai issued to Chunin during the Konoha War!

In this way, the two of them could probably guess what would happen.

It is likely that when the two people, who appeared to be a couple, appeared, the Konoha ninjas were startled and threw kunai at them, accidentally killing the woman. The other man, in a fit of anger, went forward to fight and was also killed.

What made Akaishi particularly uncomfortable was —

This woman has red hair!

In the central region of the continent, which includes the northeastern part of the Land of Wind, the Land of Rain, and several other small countries, people with red hair generally have some degree of Uzumaki clan blood.

The only thing that could give Jiraiya and Akaishi some "comfort" was that, judging from the fatal wounds on the corpses, the female corpse was consistent with the characteristics of being killed accidentally in a moment of attack, and the male corpse was consistent with the characteristics of being killed accidentally in close combat, with no trace of intentional intent.

If it were truly intentional, two Chunin killing ordinary people wouldn't leave any clues at all.

It's highly likely that these two went to the deserted village to search for supplies, and when they heard the noise, they mistook it for an enemy.

Although I have serious doubts about the competence of these two Chunin, but—

Everyone is dead.

"They actually impersonated Konoha's kunai, attacked and killed our comrades, and even tried to throw dirty water on them—if I find out who it was, I'll make them swallow the kunai!" Akaishi said angrily.

Jiraiya glanced at the student but didn't reply. Although kunai were easy to counterfeit, the current situation didn't seem like a setup.

If it weren't for the Uchiha ninjas checking on their tax collection, these four corpses would have remained undiscovered even as they rotted!

"Hmm?" Akaishi frowned as he looked at the corpses of the two Chunin.

Now Akaishi understood why the two clansmen hadn't discovered the cause of their deaths—or rather, why they couldn't reconstruct the events leading to their deaths. "What was the situation when Kota and Abu were discovered?" Akaishi asked Tamaki Kei for confirmation.

"It crashed into the wall—but there were no injuries on the front." Yu Chijiong's tone was also somewhat puzzled.

The direct fatal injury was obvious: a strong impact from behind, resulting in fractures of bones from the back of the head to the back of the back, and severe damage to the internal organs and brain, essentially causing immediate death.

but----

The reason it is said that the cause of death is "unknown" is because Yu Chijiong did not find any injuries on the front.

In this situation, one would expect to be struck head-on by a tremendous force, sent flying, and crash into a wall to sustain such injuries.

However, there were no signs of attack on their front sides.

It's like walking backwards and crashing headfirst into a wall until you die, or like someone slamming a wall against you—

Even the well-informed Jiraiya hesitated at this moment, then asked, "Akaishi, can your Air Explosion Technique do that?"

Upon hearing this, Akaishi shook his head and said, "There isn't that much thrust. Moreover, if it were a 'Sky Explosion Technique' or other similar wind or air-based ninjutsu, even if it didn't leave any physical damage marks, such a great force would inevitably cause damage to the eyes and ears."

Jiraiya wasn't ignorant; if he couldn't use Void Release, surely he could use Wind Release? It was just that this fatal flaw truly baffled him.

Without understanding the enemy's methods, not only will we be unable to ascertain the enemy's identity, but it will also affect whether we can obtain intelligence about the enemy before we encounter them again.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I'll dissect Kota's body," Akaishi offered.

Kota's body had more severe brain damage, making it essentially worthless to analyze.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya nodded and said, "Yes, remember to put it back together later—"

Chishi immediately summoned the power of the King of Hell, which allows him to dissect and analyze the dead and then perfectly stitch them back together, transforming him from a forensic doctor to an investigative specialist.

King Yama of Hell: ————

I am the lord of the Avici Hell—

The only difficulty is that the King of Hell is very opposed to this kind of "work".

"Old Wang, what the Ninja Clan needs now is an all-rounder. You can only guard the gate, how can you make progress?" Akashi advised.

Just imagine, Akaishi might see the Sage of Six Paths again—

The King of Hell decided to overcome the "difficulties".

A moment later, the King of Hell paused, his large face and expression completely frozen. Just as Chishi was wondering if the corpse was poisoned, the King of Hell continued to "chew" and then reassembled the corpse into a lifelike form.

"Did you find anything?" Akaishi asked.

In Jiraiya's view, Kota's body floated up on its own, then decomposed and reassembled, and Akaishi is now asking questions to an empty space.

"This is of great importance," said the King of Hell solemnly.

Akaishi frowned upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing decisive to report. I'll go back and sort out some of the suspicious details."

Jiraiya nodded upon hearing this and said, "There are many amazing methods in the ninja world, such as bloodline limits and secret techniques—it's normal that you can't tell anything from a corpse alone."

Jiraiya assumed that Akaishi hadn't gained anything, and then looked at Takeru's corpse and said, "We'll wait for the Yamanaka clan ninjas to arrive before trying to read Takeru's memories."

The mountain clan possesses a secret technique to read memories from a previous life, but success is not guaranteed; the more severe the brain damage, the lower the probability of success!

Judging from the visible external injuries, both of them must have suffered severe head injuries, which could even be the direct cause of death. In such cases, it would be difficult to extract any memories.

After returning to his room, Akashi immediately asked the King of Hell, who had not yet returned, in his mind: "What did you find?"

Mysterious————

Seeing that it sounded serious and seemed like it couldn't explain itself in just a few words, Akaishi didn't ask it on the spot.

[The internal organs of the deceased were found to be evenly displaced, which was not caused by external impact.] The King of Hell's autopsy meticulously determined the displacement of the internal organs.

[So what?] Akaishi still didn't understand.

The internal organs were not only displaced due to the impact with the wall, which can indeed be considered as the discovery of "other injuries," but it still cannot explain what kind of attack they were hit by and how they were thrown into the wall.

"Among the six realms of power, the power of the Heavenly Dao can repel all things, which matches this omen," said the King of Hell solemnly.

"The power of the Six Paths? You mean—the Rinnegan?" Akashi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Why is the Rinnegan being brought up again?

However, Akaishi immediately remembered—

The old man I encountered during the Chunin Exams also used some kind of power that allowed him to "pull" me in!

Although Akaishi didn't have time to analyze it carefully at the time, he later wondered about that power. It wasn't a real "absorption," nor was it the kind of energy flow from the Sand Village old woman's "Three Treasures Absorption," nor was it some kind of "invisible hand" pulling him over. It was more like a force suddenly pulling his entire body towards it.

Upon hearing what the King of Hell said, Chishi immediately realized that this power was indeed consistent with the injuries of the two men!

It's just that attraction has turned into repulsion.

Because it wasn't an external impact, but rather the body being "repelled," it was impossible to tell from the surface what kind of external force it had been subjected to; all that could be seen were the injuries caused by hitting the wall.

Only through such thorough dissection and meticulous analysis of every part by the King of Hell could the strain on the internal organs, which were more vulnerable, be discovered.

[Repulsive force—what other characteristics does this repulsive force have?] Akaishi wanted to confirm further.

"The repulsive force is the divine punishment of the heavens, which repels all things with the essence of the heavenly way as its center; there is also the gravitational force, the universal attraction of the heavens, which can be focused on a particular object," explained Yama, the King of Hell.

Upon hearing this, Chishi first summoned Yuchijiong and, disregarding the late hour, confirmed the situation with him under the cover of darkness.

"The items on site? Indeed, it's a mess, but there are no signs of a struggle. It wasn't broken; they probably just ransacked the place while searching for supplies."

Akaishi nodded without saying much, only saying, "Go back and rest first, and take me to the site tomorrow."

It's probably not that it was turned upside down!

Instead, it was pushed away by a repulsive force—just as Yama, the King of Hell, said, the power of "Shinra Tensei" could only choose to repel all surrounding objects.

Upon hearing that it might be related to that old man, Akaishi paced back and forth in the room.

What is that old Deng trying to do?

What Akaishi needs to worry about now is not only the opponent's strength, but more importantly—if Uchiha Madara suddenly "comes back to life," what impact will it have on the Uchiha clan once the news is made public?

Akashi would rather be a powerful enemy from Amegakure or Sunagakure!

At least we're purely enemies, so there's no need to worry about any other consequences.

Now, the thought that it might be Madara Uchiha secretly plotting against the Konoha ninja makes Akashi feel a constant buzzing in his ears, a rhythm full of conspiracies.

But why would he suddenly attack two Chunin?

Dissatisfied by their accidental killing of civilians? That possibility clearly doesn't apply to old Deng.

Could it be that...?

A deep, knowing look appeared on Akaishi's face—could it be that he knew the Uchiha clan was going to investigate those two Chunin, so he deliberately took the initiative to kill them and frame the Uchiha clan?

Absolutely possible!

"Didn't you say before that the Rinnegan's control over you has weakened recently, and that it hasn't summoned you at all?" Akaishi asked Hell King again to confirm.

"Indeed," Yama, the King of Hell, nodded.

"I thought he was dead because his fate was unknown!" Akaishi cursed.
