Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 326 Successfully Occupied

In the bubbling "land lake," the water around Old Purple kept boiling, and Red Stone continued to launch surprise attacks and harass him.

In this situation where the water is soaking in the water and it is impossible to evaporate all the water in a short time, Old Purple's "Lava Armor" becomes a burden.

Because the water around him was constantly boiling, his movements were more easily detected, and the "Lava Armor" was constantly cooling and solidifying, requiring chakra to reheat it.

It's like constantly using your own chakra to heat up Akashi's water-style chakra!

Although the tailed beasts possess near-limitless chakra, their output efficiency is ultimately limited without further tailed beast transformation. Outside the lake, as Akimichi Torifu and two Uchiha began their desperate struggle, Han, now in his tailed beast form, faced increasing difficulties.

As for the Chunin from Iwa and Kusanagi, they have all either died or fled, and less than one in ten are still fighting!

Han and Lao Zi also understood that if they continued to fight to the death like this, even if they could win, they might have to leave one of their Jinchuriki behind in exchange for four Jonin from Konoha.

Even if they weren't the ones to play the game, they still didn't see it as a worthwhile deal!

The greater role of Jinchūriki should be played on the battlefield of large-scale battles, rather than defending small strongholds.

Therefore, the Han, who had transformed into a beast with its tail raised, let out a high-pitched neigh.

Upon hearing this while in boiling water, Lao Zi's face turned grim, but after using the "Hell's Gate Technique" to force Chi Shi back, he turned and left!

At first, Akaishi didn't realize anything, only thinking that, like before, Rōshi was trying to avoid the influence of the Sharingan.

He attempted to transform into a tailed beast, so I immediately followed him and continuously interfered with his illusions.

Who knows————

This time, Lao Zi actually fled without hesitation?

At the same time, Chishi also saw Han gallop away with a "thump, thump, thump" sound outside the bubbles of the lake on land.

Akaishi then realized that the Iwa ninja were indeed retreating—but he still dared not be careless and continued to pursue them!

Throughout this time, Akaishi tried his best to control the bubbles formed by the "Giant Explosion Water Wave" to move with it. Although the movement was not very fast, Ryuu, who was not known for his speed, did not manage to rush out for a while.

Akaishi's "Giant Explosive Water Wave" is now no less efficient at producing water than Tobirama Senju's "Great Explosive Water Wave".

When .

Even though there was a difference in water volume, it was because Tobirama had more chakra. However, in terms of control over details, Akaishi was still far inferior.

If it were Tobirama, "Great Explosive Water Wave" could move along with the user, essentially binding the "water" tightly around him.

This not only allows for much faster movement, but also eliminates the risk of external attacks because the water is self-centered rather than sustained by surface tension.

Akaishi also understood that in order to make the "Giant Explosive Water Wave" centered on himself, what was needed was the "Ultimate Softness" in the Water Release chakra transformation, which corresponds to properties such as "Roundness" and "Resilience," and would amplify techniques like "Water Prison Technique" and "Water Whip" even more.

For the Uchiha clan, the corresponding emotion is "urgency" —

While "urgency" is not as rare as "benevolence" and "righteousness" for Chishi, it is far rarer than "anger, sorrow, and joy."

As for Tobirama Senju—

Akaishi estimated that the average value of his Water Release chakra variation, if measured as a percentage, was likely to exceed 70%, with some individual values ​​even reaching 80%.

Akaishi was able to compete with him in water production efficiency only because he created the "Giant Explosive Water Wave".

After chasing for some distance, Old Purple realized that he had escaped the range of the "Giant Explosive Water Wave". The movement of the bubbles in the land lake was still far inferior to that of the Red Stone itself.

At this moment, Akaishi also immediately released the ninjutsu that had been maintained. The huge bubble immediately dissipated, and the water formed by chakra disappeared much faster than normal water evaporated. It wouldn't be long before it disappeared.

At the same time, Akaishi was always ready, so that if Old Purple turned around to fight again, Akaishi would immediately follow up with another "Giant Explosive Water Wave".

Although the base cost of "Giant Explosive Water Wave" is higher than that of a regular S-rank, it is still lower than that of "Normal World".

Moreover, the situation that Akaishi was prepared for did not occur.

Old Zi fled all the way, but was chased by Chi Shi for over a thousand miles.

Halfway through, Han withdrew his Tailed Beast form, and Akimichi, seeing this, also ceased maintaining his Butterfly form. As the chase continued, both sides tacitly slowed down, clearly indicating that Rōshi and Han were preparing to retreat.

The group from Konoha didn't have the strength to leave behind two Jinchuriki. In fact, if they really went all out, Konoha would suffer even greater casualties!

After all, whether it's Old Purple or Han, if it really comes down to a life-or-death situation, they can at least unleash the full power of a "Tailed Beast".

Now, using genjutsu to restrict Rōshi's tailed beast transformation and Han's full power is merely taking advantage of the fact that they and the tailed beasts are not mutually exclusive.

A trusted partner —

Once the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast's will are completely aligned, the situation will be very different.

Konoha clearly didn't think it was worthwhile to trade themselves for a Jinchuriki—they might not even be able to get one!

A strongman of this caliber rarely gets the chance to be killed outright after a defeat. If he's lucky, he can escape even after losing ten times. That's why Sakumo Hatake is so famous. His kill rate is just too high. Ninjas from other villages would rather give up their missions than fight him.

Of course, even now that they are certain that the other party intends to escape, Akaishi and the others do not dare to relax.

Otherwise, if Old Purple escapes the genjutsu range and directly transforms into a tailed beast to attack again, it would be enough to give the people of Konoha a hard time!

Even if he really wanted to escape now, as long as Konoha dared to give him a chance, Roshi would definitely seize it.

Therefore, the four Jonin from Konoha pursued them all the way from dawn until noon, until they were almost at the next strategic point in the Land of Earth before finally stopping.

This time should be enough for the remaining Chunin to thoroughly clean up the battlefield and set up Konoha's sealing techniques!

The four returned to Kannabi Bridge, and sure enough, the base had been changed to a Konoha emblem. Minato and another Chunin skilled in sealing techniques had already set up the necessary sealing techniques—

"Namikaze, is there any news from headquarters?" Yang Yong asked Minato directly.

"Yes, Commander Orochimaru replied three hours ago that the reinforcements have departed from the front lines as scheduled and should arrive in about two and a half days," Minato nodded.

The four Jonin of the Uchiha Akimichi team were also quite exhausted. After the successful surprise attack, they needed reinforcements to consolidate their gains!

perhaps----

It will take two and a half days.

The "reinforcements" that consolidated the gains did not depart from the headquarters of the Iwagakure countermeasures unit, but came directly from the front lines. They set off after the raid plan was established, but they would withdraw if the raid failed.

"They're on the list, but they're Chunin—the captain is Jonin Kato," Minato said.

"Yes, then two days should be enough." Yang Yong nodded confidently.

Water gate:

Chunin? Don't underestimate the Uchiha's ability to manage upwards!

"Kato Jonin? Our Orochimaru actually brought him here too?" Koji Kyu clicked his tongue in amazement.

"If Jonin Kato is the captain, this place should be within his support radius in a day." Akaishi breathed a sigh of relief after calculating for a moment.

Kato Dan's combat range is vast, theoretically without any distance limit; he can reach his destination in an instant. However, if the distance is too far, because his soul lacks the five senses, he will get lost and may even be unable to return to his body.

However, if Akaishi were to summon "Prison King," he could provide Kato Dan with a recognizable and strong coordinate, allowing Kato Dan to travel a distance equivalent to a day's journey!

The fact that Kato was able to be transferred here shows that the headquarters at the front also had high hopes for holding this stronghold.

It seems that Hatake Sakumo's idea is similar to Orochimaru's: to suppress Iwagakure and Amegakure with as little power as possible, and to conquer Sunagakure with all his might first!

Holding the stronghold of Kannabi Bridge is extremely cost-effective in suppressing Iwagakure, saving a lot of combat power. Therefore, it is worthwhile to send Kato Dan.

As long as Kato is alive, he can "call out" the various battlefields centered around him at any time, making him extremely capable of holding his ground.

Previously, Kato Dan had always served as a key member of the protective force in extremely important places like the Medical Headquarters!

However, when it comes to attacking strongholds, the "Spirit Transformation Technique" is not particularly adept. For example, before the sealing technique of Kannabi Bridge was destroyed, the "Spirit Transformation Technique" could not get in at all.

And

Jinchuriki are also the nemesis of "spiritualization techniques"!

The ninjas who can become Jinchuriki are not only physically strong, but also have surging Tailed Beast Chakra within them once they unleash the power of the Tailed Beast. If Kato Dan were to possess someone at this time, he would only hurt himself.

This was merely a reinforcement force to consolidate the gains—

Yang Yong noticed that Akaishi visibly relaxed after hearing that Kato Dan was coming, so he emphasized, "Those two Jinchūriki from Iwagakure have both expended a lot of energy and won't be able to recover in a short time. Iwagakure doesn't have many combat forces nearby either. Once the seal is set up, unless they start a major battle, it will be very difficult for them to take it back!"

In battles involving Jinchūriki, the user almost always sustains injuries. Because of their strong physique and willpower, they can persevere through combat, but—

After the battle, they also had to rest for several days, their skin peeling off completely!

Yang Yong also wanted to emphasize to Akashi not to take Kato Dan too seriously, and that the important thing was the performance of our Uchiha!

Chishi, of course, did not refute Elder Yangyong's statement.

However, the combined forces of Konoha have indeed suffered considerable losses, with Akimichi Torifu being the most severely affected!

Now, not only has she lost weight, but her once round face has also become somewhat square due to collagen loss, making her look much older.
