Uchiha Akaishi Tour

"She said...you can forget about sleeping with her." Maitreya relayed Mahasri's words again.

Because of his previous "experience," Mahasri learned new vocabulary.

In the eyes of Mahasri's corrupt and dark personality, this Uchiha brat clearly wanted to break the "Caged Bird" trap and profit from it, and needed his help, yet he still wanted to take advantage of both sides.

"You've actually turned so dark. No wonder my Uchiha clan's patriarch, Hagoromo, no longer approves of you and wants me to be the next Ninja Master!" Akashi directly brought Ashura in as well, making sure he was "sitting in the middle and observing from the sidelines."

Chakra fluctuations reappeared from Miroku's body, but he suppressed them firmly...

……

Having already searched this area without finding anything, Chishi and Mile headed deeper into the mountains.

This mountain range, stretching along the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, is so vast that even from the air, one cannot see its end. Even with the Byakugan, one must search slowly to ensure that no fluctuations of the seal are missed.

Roll your eyes, open!

At this moment, Miroku activated his Byakugan...

However, apart from the Hyuga clan, others probably wouldn't recognize it as the Byakugan at all—not only does the pupil appear pale gold under the reflection of chakra, but there are also no bulging blood vessels around it.

"By the way, when did your Oni Country priestess lineage separate from the Hyuga clan?" Akaishi asked curiously.

"We shouldn't be related by blood, at least not at first..." Because he had sealed the dark side of Mahasri within himself, Miroku also knew some secrets.

"The first priestess was appointed by Mahamurini before his death. At that time, the Hyuga clan did not exist, and there were not many people with the Byakugan bloodline. The first priestess was not of the Byakugan bloodline," Miroku explained.

Although Mahasri had brothers and sisters, and by the time she reached the end of her life, these brothers and sisters had also multiplied, but there were only two or three generations, or twenty or thirty people. Mahasri did not choose to be reincarnated among these close relatives.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi suddenly realized, "So, you don't have Uchiha Hamura's bloodline at all, and your Byakugan isn't 'concealed,' but... it really isn't the Byakugan?"

"Yes, that's how it is in terms of bloodline." Maitreya nodded.

She has no bloodline of the Hyuga clan, or rather, Uchiha Hamura. Her ability to display the power of the Byakugan is entirely due to the influence of the reincarnation of Mahamuri chakra.

"However, the fact that Mahasri has been able to reincarnate stably within your lineage... is this also a kind of sealing technique?" Akaishi asked curiously.

Although Akashi did not understand the principle behind it, Mahasri's method of reincarnation was clearly different from that of Indra and Asura. The latter two were randomized from among their bloodline descendants, while the former designated the reincarnator from the beginning and then reincarnated among her descendants.

"Perhaps." Upon hearing this, Miroku hesitated slightly.

Akaishi immediately noticed her unusual attitude and, as if struck by a thought, asked, "Then... what if you give birth to a son?"

"Our lineage of priestesses has always been able to produce new priestesses, and it's a single lineage passing down the lineage." Miroku shook his head, indicating that such a possibility was not possible.

but……

Akaishi frowned, realizing something, and asked, "A single lineage? If you have a daughter, when would she be considered the reincarnation of Mahamuryu's chakra?"

:

Miroku paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Usually, after we give birth to a daughter, our own chakra rapidly depletes... so we usually don't live very long."

"That Mahasri is indeed useless! I think her reincarnation was just a trick!" Seeing that his guess was true, Akaishi immediately criticized her.

Akashi was puzzled. Mahasri was supposed to be weaker than Indra and Asura, so how could her reincarnations be so stable?

Now it seems that this "stability" was indeed the result of taking shortcuts!

Even when attacked by Akaishi this time, Miroku's chakra showed no fluctuation, which shows that Mahasri was out of his depth and speechless!

"It's alright, this is the destiny of our lineage of priestesses," Miroku said with a slight smile.

"What destiny is there? That's an outdated concept from the pseudo-Third Hokage Ninja Sect. Our new Ninja Sect doesn't talk about destiny!" Akaishi said righteously.

Maitreya: ...

……

The two spent several days in the deep mountains and forests, but still gained nothing.

Until several days later...

"Hmm?" Miroku, who had activated his Byakugan, suddenly reacted.

"How is it? Have you found anything suspicious?" Akaishi asked hurriedly.

"No, it's not the suspicious parts, it's... the suspicious people." Miroku said, describing, "There are a few Iwa ninja who seem to be looking for something as well."

Because the Land of Demons is bordered by the Land of Wind to the north, they don't have much contact with the Iwa ninjas across the border. However, they are familiar with the Iwa ninjas' "Mountain Stone" headbands.

"Iwa ninja?" Akaishi frowned—what are they looking for in a place like this?

Akaishi suspected that Kiga was trying to "seduce" other ninjas because he had discovered that Hiruko had been sealed away.

However, since they are Iwa ninja, Akashi doesn't need to figure out what they want to do—Konoha and Iwagakure are still at war!

"Let's go take a look," Akaishi said directly.

As the two approached the direction of the Iwa ninja, Miroku discovered more and more Iwa ninja, each in a team of three, and there were already three teams!

This is quite unusual...

Although Konoha and Iwagakure have been very restrained in the war and haven't really put in much effort, sending a large number of ninjas into the deep mountains and forests at this time must have a purpose.

Konoha was created because of the "Oni-Garaku" revealed by Hiruko...

What about Iwa ninja?

"Oh no..." Maitreya said in frustration.

:

Before Akaishi could ask, Miroku said, "Sorry, it seems I've been found out."

"So perceptive?" Akashi immediately realized that they must have encountered a "big fish".

Although Miroku said she had been discovered, neither she nor Akaishi were in a hurry.

The effect of the "Byakugan" is purely "vision." Although it can be used as a long-range perception ninjutsu with similar effects, the underlying principles are completely different.

If the target is sensitive enough to chakra, "sensory ninjutsu" may be able to detect chakra fluctuations and lock onto them in the opposite direction—therefore, in the battlefield of "sensory ninjas," it is often a winner-takes-all situation.

However, the Byakugan is different; it merely "sees" without releasing chakra...

The so-called "being noticed" is just the perception of a gaze, which is a kind of inexplicable sense. It is basically impossible to accurately lock onto the direction. At most, it is the perception that "someone seems to be looking at me from this direction".

Otherwise, the ordinary eye roll wouldn't be so effective...

In terms of pure distance, the ordinary Byakugan is far inferior to ultra-long-range sensory ninjutsu. It is only because of its characteristic of "not being sensed in reverse" that each of them can become a sensory ninja!

When Miroku was searching for the "suspected seal location," he could only look at it kilometer by kilometer. If he looked too far away, he might miss subtle chakra fluctuations. But now, when he is looking for Iwagakure, he is looking at it kilometer by kilometer. With such a distance, the other party can only vaguely sense a direction and has no way of finding him!

"Novel Website" Hand-typed Update

Even if they were to come and search, they would be under Maitreya's surveillance the entire time...

"Can you tell who it is?" Akaishi asked.

"If you concentrate your pupil power, you can see clearly, but it will completely convince him that he has been seen," Miroku warned.

"It's alright, what's wrong with looking at him?" Akaishi said with a wave of his hand.

The current Akaishi is no longer the genin playing hide-and-seek with Kirigakure in the Land of Whirlpools...

Upon hearing what Chishi said, Maitreya did not hesitate. He immediately formed a fighting seal and increased the output of his pupil power, causing the golden light in his eyes to intensify!

With Miroku concentrating his pupil power, he could see even more details quickly—ten kilometers away, he could still see very detailed things… Akaishi estimated that even Hinata Saneuke’s Byakugan couldn’t see to this extent.

As for ordinary Byakugan, it's already good enough if you can see people moving around clearly from a kilometer away. Even some elite members of the Hyuga clan can only clearly see chakra flow within a kilometer, and can vaguely detect it from three to five kilometers away...

For ordinary Byakugan, "X-ray vision" is more important than "distance vision." After all, a skilled ninja can see a person clearly from a kilometer away on flat ground or at sea. Although ordinary Byakugan has stronger distance vision, it is not much stronger. However, once in an environment with cover, there is a fundamental difference.

Ordinary ninjas have absolutely no X-ray vision...

"He's a middle-aged ninja with red hair and a red beard... Hmm? His chakra is strange... very volatile!" Miroku not only saw his appearance clearly, but also sensed his chakra.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi was immediately delighted—clearly, it was an old friend.

"He should be the Four-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure... but he's not exactly middle-aged, he should be around twenty-four now." Akaishi recalled that he was just getting old.

"He's too perceptive... He's starting to come this way, and the direction isn't too far off," Maitreya immediately reminded him.

:

"It's not that he's sharp-eyed, it's probably the Four-Tails... Let's take cover for now." Akaishi said, leading Miroku away.

Akaishi wasn't worried about being found—it was ten kilometers away... Not only was it "far enough," but more importantly, even if Ooshi noticed the "gaze" and guessed it was Byakugan, he couldn't possibly guess it was ten kilometers away and wouldn't search that far!

Although Akaishi wasn't afraid of him, but...

After all, there are four teams of Iwa ninja in the vicinity, while on the Konoha side, in the past few days, Akaishi has long been separated from the Uchiha clan members by a great distance, and probably has no companions for a day's journey.

In this situation, there would be no benefit in engaging in battle rashly. Even if one wanted to launch a sneak attack, it was not a good time now that Lao Zi had just become wary.

……

"Lord Zi, have you discovered the Demon God's seal?" Dong Siren rushed over with Zi to check, but found nothing.

"No, this doesn't feel like a demon god... it feels more like the Hyuga clan of Konoha!" Old Purple said with a dark face.

There was no one around, and no one could be found hiding, yet suddenly I felt myself being watched…

This is a classic sign of being glared at!

If it were just a regular Byakugan, even from a kilometer away, with a general sense of direction, it might be possible to find it, especially for a perceptive Jinchuriki. However, when faced with the "Jinchuriki of the Hyuga Ancestor," Rōshi became completely lost...
