Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 320 Hiding in the Mud

After conducting preliminary reconnaissance of the situation at Kannabi Bridge, the Uchiha Akimichi joint team made some preliminary arrangements before the surprise attack, as plans for surprise attacks can change quickly, and intelligence needs to be gathered on-site.

"Captain Akimichi, let my clone carry out the first wave of attacks!" Akaishi suggested directly.

Beside Akaishi, there are eight mirror images of Akaishi.

This scene made Akimichi feel a little dazed for a moment, and he thought of the missions he had done with Kagami.

In the face of both "holding firm" and this current "prepared surprise attack," Mirror will also create "Mirror Clones" in advance, but—

Mirror's chakra recovery efficiency is certainly not as high as Akashi's. Even if he is prepared, he can only create two or three Mirror clones each time. If he creates more than that, the main body's chakra refining speed cannot sustain the clones.

"You? What are you planning to do?" Akimichi Torifu regained his senses and couldn't help but have some doubts, but he still wanted to hear Akaishi's plan.

It's not that Akimichi Torifu looks down on Akaishi, but rather—two years ago, Akaishi was still a genin who acted alongside him!

Two short years have passed, and even though Akaishi has become famous, Akimichi Torifu still lacks a sense of reality until he has witnessed it with his own eyes.

"My clone will sneak underground and go first—assassinate the Jonin besides Old Purple!" Akaishi's plan was simple and brutal.

Jinchuriki are all quite sensitive, so directly assassinating Roshi is not a good idea. Therefore, the best course of action is to assassinate the ones below.

but--

"The opponent is an Iwa ninja." Akimichi frowned. He now suspected that this young man, Akaishi, had become arrogant!

Originally, among the four Jonin present, Akaishi wasn't supposed to be the one to deliver the crucial first strike in the surprise attack. Akimichi only inquired because of his eagerness, but who knew—

How utterly reckless!

Although I know that Akaishi is very skilled in ninjutsu, the Iwa ninja are also experts in underground infiltration, so they are naturally more sensitive to fluctuations from the ground. Akaishi is dancing on their strengths!

"I've recently developed a combination ninjutsu based on the 'Earth Fish Reflection Technique,' which emphasizes concealment when infiltrating underground—I think it's worth a try even if the target is an Iwa ninja," Akaishi insisted.

"Just using clones?" Akimichi confirmed.

Akashi shook his head and said, "My clone will go to assassinate, while my main body will go to Old Purple Sakon to keep him occupied."

Before Akimichi could say anything, Yang Yong spoke up first: "No! That's too risky. We'll use it against the Sand Ninja later."

Akimichi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it seemed the Uchiha clan hadn't all gone mad—the other two Uchiha elders also didn't want Akaishi to take any risks!

Since only Akaishi is "sick," it can still be controlled—

"Captain Akimichi, how about this—let me try. Those of you who are prepared can use your senses to see if you can detect me," Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this, Minato subtly curled the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that Akaishi was so confident and that it was just a test opportunity, Akimichi nodded.

Besides Minato and Hizashi, Koji Kyu also brought a Chunin from the Yamanaka clan, who was also a sensory ninja.

Moreover, Yang Yong and Gong Zhi Jiu, although not specialized sensory ninjas, still have excellent sensory abilities!

Everyone stared at Akaishi, but he didn't make a move. Just as everyone was wondering—

"It seems no one noticed," Akaishi said, and everyone immediately began to carefully sense their footing.

"Huh?" Hizashi made some discoveries first, but they were just some "discoveries".

Hiji used his Byakugan to look down into the ground and noticed a hazy, impenetrable feeling in the surrounding soil—this was not normal soil!

Hizashi's "Byakugan" should be able to see through the ground. If it were ordinary soil or rock, it should be able to see at least 30 meters underground. However, because of this "hazy feeling", Hizashi's "Byakugan" only looks about 5 meters.

Moreover, because it wasn't a direct blockage but rather a "vague" one, unless one was paying close attention, Hizashi wouldn't have realized this and would have assumed there was nothing within thirty meters.

"Where are you?" Akimichi Torifu looked around but didn't find anything.

Just then, right next to Akaishi, a mirror image of Akaishi shot up and burst out of the ground. If we hadn't known beforehand, we probably wouldn't have realized it until it appeared.

Of course, if you are on high alert, you can still detect clues when Akaishi's mirror clones approach the ground. Therefore, when attacking from underground, they usually sprint out suddenly rather than slowly emerge.

Like Akaishi's mirror clone, which had been hovering about ten meters away, it immediately shot out after being activated.

"What kind of technique is this?" Hizashi asked, puzzled.

"The technique of reflecting fish in the soil—combined with the technique of concealing in the mist, I call it the technique of hiding in the mud," Red Stone explained.

Upon hearing that it was the "Hidden Mist Technique," Hizashi nodded in relief.

The Hidden Mist Village created the "Hidden Mist Technique" specifically to counter eye techniques. Both the Sharingan and the Byakugan will be weakened by the "Hidden Mist Technique"!

"I see. So you use the Hidden Mist Technique to soak the soil, weakening the fluctuations during stealth, and using the chakra perception isolation effect of the Hidden Mist Technique to shield yourself from detection—right?" Akimichi Torifu said knowingly.

Although the "Earth Fish Reflection Technique" and the "Hidden Mist Technique" are not high-level ninjutsu and are only auxiliary ninjutsu, they are each the core tactical ninjutsu.

When combined with the red stones, they produced an amazing effect—

Of course, this is not only due to the "wonderful combination" working, but also because Akaishi has a profound mastery of the chakra transformations of Water Release and Earth Release, which is why the stealth effect after the combination is so amazing.

Seeing that Akaishi's "stealth" technique was indeed effective, Akimichi Torifu hesitated.

"Captain Akimichi, there are Jonin from the Kamimizu clan among the Iwa ninja. If we don't approach from underground, we'll be more easily discovered—leave it to me!" Akaishi advised.

That's right. Although Minato couldn't identify the three Jonin from Iwagakure besides Rōshi from their chakra fluctuations, he did notice that one of them was a member of the Insect User clan, always surrounded by many faint chakra fluctuations, which matched the characteristics of an Insect User ninja.

The insect users of Iwagakure are the "Kami-Mizuru Clan".

Insect users are very rare; only a handful of families in the entire ninja world possess this skill, and they are extremely vigilant!

Even if a single insect possesses chakra, it is difficult to detect. However, the Insect Masters can simply deploy insects around the warning area to alert enemies, making it difficult for them to approach.

Fortunately—

The Kamisumi clan is skilled at controlling insects, which are bees. Compared to the parasitic insects of the Aburame clan, there are many special individuals among the "bee" ninja insects, but none of them are good at burrowing underground!

The Iwa ninja probably also thought that no one would dare to sneak up and attack them right under their noses—

Upon hearing what Akaishi said, Akimichi nodded and agreed to let him take the lead!

"Akashi, are you sure you want to send out your main body as well? The strength of the mirror clone is about the same as that of the main body, right?" Yang Yong looked at Akashi seriously.

The Uchiha clan never felt sorry for their children.

However, Akaishi is not only young, but also carries the great responsibility of passing on the Uchiha lineage. Furthermore, Yang Yong and the others believe that Akaishi will become stronger in the future and be able to rival Uchiha Kagami—and even Uchiha Kagami is not the end goal!

"It's different. My main body also possesses other secret techniques, and only my main body can restrain Lao Zi. This way, I have the greatest chance of launching a sneak attack!" Akashi shook his head and said.

Mainly —

The clones cannot unleash the power of the "Mangekyou Sharingan"!

Even with one's own eyes, a shadow clone cannot use the Mangekyou Sharingan's power, let alone Akaishi's eyes, which belong to someone else.

Once Rōshi unleashes the power of the Tailed Beast, Akaishi estimates that his mirror clones won't be enough; only his main body, with the power of "Tokoyo," can effectively restrain him.

Then, the Konoha joint operation team split into four groups and headed towards Kannabi Bridge to surround it. The more people involved in the operation, the easier it would be to be discovered, so the four teams operated separately.

That's right, Minato had already discovered the Red Stone.

However, no one made a fuss about it.

On one hand, Minato didn't think there were any Iwa ninjas in Kannabi Bridge with the same level of sensory perception as him; on the other hand, he was also afraid that Akaishi would "go into a fit" on the spot.

Of course, at this point, Minato still had to remind Akaishi to avoid him overestimating his stealth abilities.

"Thirty meters? — I understand." Akaishi nodded.

Minato meant that the existence of "Hidden Mud Movement Technique" could be detected from 30 meters away. However, this was like looking at "Hidden Mist Technique" from the outside; you knew there was a thick fog in front of you, but you couldn't see what was inside.

Similarly, if the "Hidden Movement Technique" is discovered, the enemy will definitely realize that someone is lurking underground, but they don't know the exact location. At this point, it will be difficult to launch a sneak attack!

Once Minato reaches a distance of twenty meters, he can pinpoint Akaishi's location underground. In this situation, a counterattack from the enemy becomes a concern.

After hearing Minato's warning, Akaishi became even more wary.

The others are fine, but Akashi doesn't think there are any Iwa ninjas present whose sensory ninjutsu can compare to Minato's. However, as a Jinchūriki, that Roshi must be extremely sensitive!

Fortunately, Akaishi's main target was not him. The other three Jonin and Rōshi were not in the same bed, so Akaishi still had a good chance of launching a sneak attack.

What Akaishi's main body needs to do is simply to restrain Lao Zi when he discovers and tries to intervene in the battlefield, thus creating a larger window for a sneak attack!

Furthermore, as soon as Akaishi makes a move, or if the Iwa ninja shows any signs of discovering something, the other Konoha teams will immediately follow suit.
