Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 294 The Consistent Performance of a Scoundrel from the Ninja World

When the elder of the Blue Jade Clan was killed by the Evil God Cult, Yama, the King of Hell, and Chi Shi mentioned that the old man's Six Paths Power was complete, and that he probably had opened the "Rinnegan" in both eyes!

Therefore, Yama, the King of Hell, was very anxious and urged Chishi to quickly achieve full promotion to the Three Bas.

However, later, Akaishi used "3+2" to "pull out" a large part of the power of the King of Hell, so it was no longer in a hurry.

During Akaishi's stay in Sunagakure, one day Goku Yama suddenly felt that the Rinnegan's control over him had weakened considerably.

Later, on his way back from the Land of Wind, Akashi was told about this by the King of Hell. Akashi thought that the old man was dying and that his previous full opening of his eyes was just a temporary resurgence.

Indeed, for a long time, Yama, the King of Hell, had not felt it again. The possession of the power of the Six Paths, using its power, made Chishi more and more convinced that this was the case!

[Do you still have contact with him?] Akaishi seems like a suspicious boyfriend.

King Yama of Hell: ————

"It's been a long time." The King of Hell said this truthfully, sounding aggrieved.

In fact, when the crisis posed by the "Rinnegan" subsided, the King of Hell was already considering "crossing the river and burning the bridge" (a Chinese idiom meaning to abandon someone after they've served their purpose).

Although the King of Hell and Red Stone have a contract, most of the things Red Stone makes him do usually exceed the scope of the contract!

However, seeing the exchange between Akaishi and the Sage of Six Paths, the King of Hell decided not to offend this brat from the Uchiha clan for the time being.

..

Akaishi was also troubled and could only wait for the results of further investigation.

The next morning, Yamanaka San San, who had been out on the supply convoy, returned. Jiraiya immediately had him examine Takeru's brain.

"No, the brain structure has been damaged too severely."

Seeing the strangely named mountain clan ninja shake his head, Akaishi didn't know whether to feel regret or relief.

However, after glancing at Jiraiya, Akaishi finally steeled himself and said, "Sansan Jonin, take another look at Kota's body." With that, Akaishi released Kota's body from the "Sealing Scroll."

Yamanaka Sansan was taken aback upon hearing this—Jiraiya had previously stated that the other body had been dissected by the Uchiha clan, so he had no hope of finding it.

"Akaishi, your ninja beasts—their brains can even be pieced together?" Jiraiya asked in surprise after being taken aback as well.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi shook his head and said, "Not entirely—I can't repair the part that involves the connection between the brain and the soul, but I can repair the pure physical structure of the brain. Although their brain damage was severe, fortunately it was only an impact injury—I'm not sure if this will work."

It was just shaken well, and it didn't leak out, nor was it burned or corroded—so it's still within the scope of the King of Hell's "stitching".

Seeing this, San San became curious and immediately went to Hao Tai's corpse, formed a hand seal, and placed her hand on his forehead.

A moment later, San San frowned, and then sweat appeared on his forehead. It was clear that the secret technique had been successfully activated!

Seeing this, Jiraiya showed an expectant look, while Akaishi's expression was slightly complicated.

After some hesitation, Akaishi decided to do his best to assist the Yamanaka clan ninja in reading the memories of the murdered Konoha Chunin!

Although this could be Old Deng's conspiracy, Akaishi worried all night but couldn't figure out what he was worried about.

This could be a conspiracy against Konoha, or it could be an attempt to sow discord within the Uchiha clan.

Ultimately, Akaishi felt that the truth should be revealed as much as possible—especially now that Jiraiya was the commander of the supply force.

Even if that old man wanted to sow discord between the Uchiha clan and the village, now is the best opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding.

After a while, San San opened her eyes wearily. This secret technique, although it does not directly kill, consumes a great deal of energy!

"How is it?" Akaishi asked anxiously.

"No—they must have suffered a strong mental attack before they died, so they can only see the surface memories from half an hour to ten minutes before their death," San San said, shaking her head.

The inability to see memories from half an hour ago is a limitation of the technique itself—the further back one wants to trace, the higher the ability required and the greater the consumption.

The limit for San San in the mountains is half an hour.

As for the ten minutes before death—

That means the memory has been destroyed!

San San knew the reason for this situation—a powerful mental shock.

"Have you found any clues?" Jiraiya asked, still clinging to some hope.

However, judging from San San's reaction, there were definitely no useful clues.

"There are no clues about attacks or enemies, but we can confirm that they decided to go to that village ruins because they couldn't meet their recruitment targets. They wanted to search for food or other supplies left behind by the villagers when they moved away to make up the difference," San San said helplessly.

"In other words, their going there was probably a spur-of-the-moment decision, not something someone arranged for them to do or something that was specifically set up to ambush them." Jiraiya nodded.

Although no direct intelligence about the enemy can be gleaned from this clue, it still reveals some things.

and----

"Well, they went there to find more supplies too—" Jiraiya said with a touch of relief.

The Uchiha clan investigated them because they received information that these two were very "irritable" when collecting taxes—they did not consider exempting some poor people who were "exempt" according to regulations, and even collected more taxes from the wealthier ones.

However, judging from the current situation, they are actually just anxious to complete their quotas and do not intend to harm anyone. They deliberately took a detour to the village ruins in order to search more from other places.

Who knew there were still ordinary people in the village? This not only caused casualties among innocent civilians but also led to an encounter with an unknown enemy, ultimately costing him his life.

"Mental shock—hmm, being hit so hard by the wall makes sense." Akaishi nodded at this point.

If the two Chunin were conscious, even if they were hit to this extent, they would not suffer serious injuries as long as they concentrated their chakra in their backs.

No matter how hard it was hit, the wall's hardness is what it is; it's just an ordinary villager's mud wall.

Conversely, if one is unaware of the danger and has not specifically trained their physical resilience, it is not surprising that they could suffer a fatal injury in this way.

After all, ordinary ninjas are "high in attack and low in defense." If they are not skilled in taijutsu and do not concentrate chakra, the physical defense of a chunin is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

"The secret technique of the Three-Three Jonin can distinguish between mental attacks and illusions?" Akaishi asked again to confirm.

"The shock, an extremely intense mental shock, must have been caused just before they died. It instantly reversed their memories, unlike the gentle obscuring of illusions." San San nodded, confirming that the two could be completely distinguished when reading memories.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I'll go back to the scene and take another look—our Konoha ninjas can't die without knowing why!" Akaishi volunteered.

"Yeah, be careful too." Jiraiya knew a bit about Akaishi's current strength—even he himself would probably have a hard time taking him down without activating Sage Mode.

Therefore, without knowing anything about the enemy, Jiraiya was not too worried about Akaishi's safety.

Akaishi, however, was cautious. As they neared their destination, he specifically instructed the two Uchiha: "If you encounter enemies, go back and report first. Don't worry about anything else!"

As it turned out, Akaishi's caution was of no use. After arriving in the village, Akaishi searched carefully but found no one.

Arriving at the site where the two Chunin were found dead, Akaishi examined the scene and confirmed that it indeed matched the characteristics of "Shinra Tensei" —

but----

Is it a bit weak?

When Akaishi actually arrived at the scene, his feelings became even more pronounced.

Looking at the corpse alone, Akaishi didn't feel that the strength to kill was enough; it didn't have to be great or exert a lot of force.

However, after seeing the scene, Akaishi immediately had a different feeling —

This doesn't seem like a composed demeanor with some reservations; it's more like giving it your all, with just that much force!

Akaishi then checked the room again.

"Hmm?" Akashi suddenly realized that this family—was not just a couple, but also had children's clothes and supplies.

After observing carefully with his Sharingan, Akaishi discovered that the red hair in the house came from two people: besides the woman with red hair, there should also be a child with red hair!

"You only found two bodies at the time?" Akaishi confirmed again.

"That's right, we searched the entire village carefully," Yu Chijiong replied.

Akaishi nodded, then said, "Do you know where the villagers of this village have moved to? Let's go there and take a look."

Finding no clues at the scene, Akaishi decided to visit the orphan.

Akaishi guessed that the couple probably returned home in search of food, so it was normal that they didn't bring their child back.

Led by Yu Chijiong, Chishi arrived at a settlement nestled in a mountain valley. This was a relatively peaceful place, and relocating people from several villages here was indeed a safety consideration. However—

"Not enough food? The whole family of three went out to find something to eat?" Akaishi stared at the village chief, his brows furrowing deeply.

"No, that's right—I did warn them about the danger," the village chief said sheepishly.

"How many people went back to the war zone to find food?" Akaishi asked, frowning.

"Well—there are only three of them in our village," the village chief quickly said.

"The child went too?" Akaishi squinted.

"Hmm—" The village chief's voice trailed off.

Upon seeing this reaction, Akaishi understood.

Clearly, this is yet another bullying incident targeting red hair!

I'm absolutely fed up with these damn people. What kind of time is this?!
