Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Forest Street, Akaishi immediately encountered Arashi.

"They said they didn't mention you, right? You should stay away from Mori no Machi too!" Lan Jun said irritably when he saw Akaishi.

"They are them, how can I be the same as them... Besides, Uncle Lan Jun, I have important business to attend to this time!" Akashi now knew who had made the move earlier, and immediately understood who "they" referred to.

"What important business is it?" Lan Jun asked, pursing his lips.

"Fortunately, they've gone missing," Akaishi said directly.

Upon hearing this, Lan Jun's expression immediately turned serious.

"I was fortunate to see him... What happened!" Lan Jun's tone was serious, but his emotions were also somewhat agitated.

"Shall we go inside and talk?" Akaishi looked around—there were some things that were better left unsaid at the street corner.

Lan Jun nodded and personally led him into the Forest Street.

"Recently, there have been several cases of ninjas disappearing without a trace while carrying out domestic missions... Uncle Lan Jun is aware of this, right?" Akaishi asked Lan Jun in return.

Seeing Lan Jun nod, Akaishi continued, "The Security Department has just discovered new information. They were supposed to meet the client in Tanabata Street yesterday, or even the day before yesterday, but they have disappeared without a trace. It is very likely that they have disappeared like the others before."

"Could it be that Shimura Danzo?" Lan Jun said with a dark face.

Akaishi:……

You wouldn't have guessed that Lan Jun is quite Uchiha-like.

"It's hard to say... I think... it shouldn't be." Akashi spoke the truth, after all, Uncle Lanjun was in a "ready to explode" state, and Akashi didn't want to provoke him.

Soon, Chishi met Canglan and Songluan.

Unlike the Uchiha clan, who were suppressed in terms of class rank...

There are three elite Jonin in the Forest Town!

These three people in front of me...

Akaishi then told the two of them what he had heard before.

The three former members of the Senju clan looked at each other after listening, seemingly wanting to discuss something.

At the same time, Lan Wu, who was just about to rest, heard that Chi Shi had arrived and immediately rushed over.

"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle... has Chi Shi arrived?" Lan Wu's voice came over.

"Ahem, Chishi, why don't you go see Lanwu first... we'll discuss this," Canglan said.

"Just meet outside, don't go to the house," Lan Jun added.

Akaishi:……

……

"Huh? You're so bold? I just told you to stay home and reflect on your actions, and you've already done it in just one afternoon?" Lan Wu asked in surprise when she saw Chi Shi.

"Of course, it's something important..."

Akashi did not hide his purpose from Lanwu—after all, Lanwu was no longer a child, but a special Jonin, and if she did not commit a "major dereliction of duty," she would soon be promoted to Jonin.

"What? Xingjian is missing?" Lan Wu exclaimed in alarm upon hearing this.

"Shh, don't let everyone know about this yet." Akaishi didn't want to cause a stir.

After all, the Garrison Command is now in charge of this matter, and if it causes widespread panic, the Garrison Command will also be held responsible.

"Could it be... someone from the Root?" Lan Wu asked with a gloomy face.

It's clear that Lan Wu also learned about the recent "series of disappearances" from Cang Lan and the others.

Akaishi:……

Akaishi even began to wonder if he had too much affection for Danzo, as if everyone except him suspected that Shimura Danzo!

"Probably not..." Akaishi reiterated his reasoning.

"I'll go investigate with you!" Lan Wu was still worried.

"Okay, but... I'm the captain! Follow my orders," Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"Okay," Lan Wu readily agreed.

Chi Shi paused for a moment, then turned to look at Cang Lan's small courtyard and said, "We still need to wait for Uncle San and Uncle Si to come up with a plan."

Otherwise, if Akaishi ran away with Lanwu like that, I'm afraid I really won't be able to appear within ten miles of the Forest Street anymore.

Akashi didn't have to wait long. Soon, Lan Jun's voice calling to Akashi and Lan Wu came from inside.

After the two entered, Canglan said directly, "I didn't expect those demons and monsters to be so bold as to set their sights on our Forest Street... Akashi, our Forest Street will also assist the Security Department in investigating this matter as soon as possible to ensure the safety of Konoha's new generation of ninjas!"

"Thank you all for your understanding," Akaishi said with a compliment.

As for how to "assist"?

In fact, it's just...

"From now on, Lan Wu, you will act as our representative to assist the Security Department in the investigation," Cang Lan said.

The best way to handle this task is for Chishi and Lanwu to avoid alerting the enemy – everyone will just think that they couldn't stand the loneliness of "staying home to reflect" and made up some excuses to go out and carry out the mission.

At the same time, Akashi could also sense that his third and fourth uncles were no less suspicious of Danzo than Chief Kensuke was!

However, they were still quite cautious. Not only did they not say it outright, but they also sent Lanwu to assist in the investigation. Clearly, they were already sharpening their knives. As soon as they found evidence of Danzo's crimes, they would immediately report it to the Hokage and then take the opportunity to disband Root.

If it wasn't discovered...

Then just pretend nothing happened, it was just kids messing around.

"Akashi, do you have any ideas now? You're not just going to keep searching blindly, are you?" Lan Jun asked, looking like he was going to test Akashi.

"Of course, I do have some thoughts on this." Akaishi had been thinking about this matter since he was in the clan's territory.

"Oh?" Lan Jun looked eager to hear more.

"Actually, it's quite simple. There are only three possibilities..." Seeing his uncles looking over, Akaishi said seriously, "First, there's an attack by enemy ninjas; second, someone within Konoha is plotting something; and third, someone with ulterior motives is colluding with the attackers from the enemy country!"

Canglan, Songluan, Lanjun: ...

"Why don't you just say it's either a man, a woman, or a man and a woman teaming up?" Lan Jun said irritably.

"Uncle Lan Jun, I haven't finished yet... Looking at the next incidents, since no one asked for help in seven consecutive incidents, and each time there was at least one ninja from a ninja clan, that is, a ninja with a special bloodline, then I think there must be at least some collusion from within." Akashi ruled out purely external enemies.

"And then what? How do you lock onto the target?" Lan Jun asked anxiously.

"First, we need to find everyone who has the ability and opportunity to commit the crime!" Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"Capable? There are too many..." Canglan frowned - although there were quite a few missing people, they were all Chunin and Genin teams, and the Chunin leading the teams were not very strong, or even wounded when they came back from the battlefield.

Those missing ninja clan genin did not show any special talents; they could only be described as "possessing bloodlines," and were not particularly outstanding compared to ordinary genin.

In terms of combat strength, a Jonin could probably do that.

"The ability mainly refers to knowing the details of their mission. As for the opportunity to commit the crime... the locations where the disappearances occurred are scattered throughout the Land of Fire, and everyone is very busy right now, so no one has time to wander around outside for an extended period without a reason," Akaishi said.

"Wait a minute, the domestic missions are being cleared up in an orderly manner. There are just too many ninjas going out on missions these days," Song Luan reminded him.

Now is not the time of the most intense war; Konoha has now resumed taking on village and town-level commissions.

"No, Uncle Songluan, this wasn't just once or twice, but seven times. There definitely aren't that many people... It's normal that there isn't even one person who meets the criteria!" Chishi said confidently.

Then Akaishi squatted down and started drawing lines on the ground.

"Two months ago, the first disappearance occurred when a genin from the Aburame clan who had just graduated went missing. They had accepted a mission on August 5th."

"And then on August 8th, I met the client, and then set off that day to hunt wild boars. Then I disappeared. And the wild boars continued to invade the farmland. In other words, I was attacked before I could complete the mission."

"Normally, although that mountain is quite large, finding that pig should only take a maximum of three days..."

Akaishi drew two sections. The first section begins on August 5th, and the second section covers the period from August 8th to August 12th. While drawing the second section, he said, "In other words, the attack on them must have happened during this period."

Then they talked about the second, the third, and so on... until the incidents involving Yukimi, who had not appeared since leaving Konoha three days ago.

Each line is drawn in two segments, and each segment depicts the time period from when the missing team received the mission to their disappearance, as well as the possible time of the attack...

Some areas are large, some are small; after drawing the fourteen-segment line...

Akaishi concluded: "If someone is colluding with the enemy, then he will not only have access to the mission information, but he must have made contact with the enemy, either inside or outside the village, or transmitted information through other means during these seven time periods."

"We should investigate all those who might have known about this, to see if they had the opportunity during those seven time periods. If someone had the opportunity in all of them..."

Then just arrest him and take him back to the garrison headquarters for interrogation!

"Similarly, if there are no external enemies, but someone within is plotting something, then he would not only need to know the mission information, but he would also have time to leave the village during these seven time periods to attack the missing squads," Akaishi said, mentioning another possibility.

If it was done by an insider, then the "opportunity" is even less. They must have been in the village when the missing team accepted the mission to be able to get there, and they must have left the village during the time when the attack might occur!

Seven consecutive incidents are enough to trigger the "big data" approach.

but……

"That seems reasonable, but... what if the perpetrator is an organization?" Lan Jun frowned.

Akaishi's hypothesis is that there is only one person who is colluding with foreign enemies or plotting in secret.

If it were a secret organization, not only would there be more than one or two executors, but there wouldn't even be any records of them leaving the village...

Upon hearing this, Akaishi spread his hands and said, "My method at least eliminates the possibility that an individual could do it. If there is no one who meets the requirements, then..."

Akaishi didn't continue—that would greatly increase the suspicion against certain organizations!
