Uchiha Akaishi Tour

December 15th, Konoha Year 41, which was the last full moon night of that year.

Akaishi, accompanied by Miroku, is searching back...

Maitreya had already searched half of the previously designated area, but now he had no doubt that the seal might not be found under normal circumstances!

Considering it was sealed by Ashura, and specifically using a "Wood Release seal," according to Maha Shri, it would be affected by the full moon...

As someone who "almost awakened Wood Release," Akaishi doesn't understand what the connection could be between the two, but he'll just believe it for now.

Therefore, Akaishi is even more convinced that Oni-Gera may have additional influence on the Hyuga clan.

Otherwise, there's no reason for Mahasri, who had previously stubbornly claimed ignorance, to suddenly become so agitated...

Unfortunately, when faced with further questioning from Akaishi, Mahasri once again began to feign death!

Because there is only one full moon each month, Akaishi directly instructed Miroku to open up the search—to increase the visibility to ten kilometers, not to search in detail, but only to look for obvious fluctuations.

After all, there's only one night, and searching kilometer by kilometer, you can't really cover a very large area!

"Huh?" Maitreya soon made a discovery.

"What's wrong?" Akashi asked quickly.

"There are unusual fluctuations over there, but... someone else noticed them even earlier than us!" Maitreya specifically reminded them.

"Who is it?" Akashi frowned.

"They are ninjas from Konoha... probably from the Hyuga clan, their eyes are white," Miroku said.

Tsk—

Akashi made a displeased sound.

If they were from Iwagakure, he could have just killed them.

"That area ahead... um, it should be called Mount Sumeru... are you sure this fluctuation isn't a test from the Uchiha clan?" Akaishi asked with a glimmer of hope.

"No, I can tell that your people did something wrong, and this seal does indeed resonate faintly with the moon." Maitreya shook his head.

This also aligns with what Mahasri said: "The Asura's wood-escape technique is related to the moon."

You've really found the right one!

"How many of them are there? What are they doing? And... are any of them not wearing headbands?" Akaishi asked.

"Three people are trying to enter the seal, but no one without a headband has been found," Miroku said.

Akaishi understood immediately. They probably hadn't gone in yet, and even the main family... that is, Hyuga Hiashi, hadn't arrived.

:

"Now they're starting to search for the source of the 'gaze'," Miroku said, turning the conversation to the next point.

Maitreya stared at him intently, and sure enough, he was discovered.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi stopped and said to Miroku, "Wait for me here."

Akashi Kaku said that now is not the right time for the Hyuga clan to "recognize their ancestors" and call Miroku their ancestor.

At this point, they discovered that Maitreya's power was related to "white eyes" and that he might not necessarily be very filial.

So Akaishi approached alone...

Meanwhile, Hyuga Hizashi, Hyuga Ma, and Hyuga Iroha became suspicious... especially Hyuga Hizashi!

After the three of them sensed the "watching gaze," they all looked in the direction they vaguely perceived, but found nothing.

Ma and Iroha were relatively calm, after all, their Byakugan aptitude, while not bad, wasn't top-tier, and they were still young, only Chunin.

However, Hyuga and Hizashi are different...

His Byakugan talent has never been inferior to Hyuga Hiashi's, and Hyuga even felt that his talent surpassed Hiashi's—after all, the effect of his Byakugan was partially limited by the "Caged Bird Seal," and the inheritance was completely different. The fact that they were "about the same" was proof that his aptitude was better.

But Hyuga Hizashi still couldn't see the source of the gaze...

Logically speaking, the visual range of the Byakugan is most affected by innate talent, followed by proficiency and chakra. Hyuga Hinata almost didn't realize that among the Hyuga clan members who came this time, there should be someone who could surpass him by so much!

"What? You didn't notice either?" Ma was surprised after hearing Hizashi's warning.

The three of them immediately became wary—at first, they sensed the gaze and thought it was from someone of their own kind, but now it seemed…

"Huh?" Hizashi asked in confusion.

"How is it?" Jian asked hurriedly.

"It's...Akaishi," Hizashi said in surprise.

"What? It's him?" Iroha was somewhat conflicted.

They knew that the "Konoha Red Stone" was very strong, and it was true that the Uchiha's "Sharingan" was also an extremely powerful eye technique, but... before this, they had never seen the "Sharingan" compare with the "Byakugan" in terms of visual range!

Before long, Akaishi appeared in their field of vision and came straight over with a knowing smile on his face—clearly, he had come to confirm their location beforehand, and it was not a coincidence.

wow-

Akashi walked through a grove of trees and came directly in front of the three people.

"Yo, Hizashi, long time no see." Akaishi said, nodding slightly to the other two.

As for Akaishi's way of greeting them, Ma and Iroha had no objection, after all...

:

This is considered very polite among the Uchiha!

"Akaishi, I never imagined you could see so far," Hizashi exclaimed.

"It's nothing. The Byakugan has its merits. We can't say that the Byakugan is just a lower-level Sharingan." Akaishi said modestly.

Iroha: ...

Who the hell said the Byakugan is inferior to the Sharingan? What are you being so modest about?

"So you've found the seal too? Not bad, not bad... Then you two stay outside and keep watch for me while I go in and give it a try!" Akaishi said righteously.

"Wait a minute!" Jian quickly stopped him.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Akaishi looked at Hyuga-ma—Akaishi wasn't familiar with him, only knowing that he was from the Hyuga clan, about the same age as Hiashi and Hizashi.

Seeing that Akaishi's Sharingan was staring at him, he stammered, "Um... the young clan leader hasn't arrived yet."

"Oh, then you can just wait outside," Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"Novel Website" Hand-typed Update

Iroha: ...

If it were the other people in Konoha, especially other ninjas who were not from the Uchiha clan or other major ninja clans, they could have simply let the others wait here for their young master to arrive.

but……

Any Uchiha would want to fight them in this situation.

As for Uchiha Akaishi, there's no need to fight him—isn't that just asking for trouble?

Seeing this, Hizashi said, "Akaishi, let me go in with you, so we can look out for each other... Ma, Iroha, you two wait outside for the young clan leader."

Akaishi remained expressionless, but he noticed that Hizashi also addressed him as "Young Clan Chief".

Five years ago, the two were inseparable brothers, but now a sad, thick barrier separates them...

This is inevitable, after all, within the Hyuga clan, the relationship between the main family and the branch family... it would be strange if they could maintain a brotherly relationship!

"But..." Jian still had doubts about this, but after looking at Akaishi, it seemed that there was no better way.

After all, it was impossible to get Akaishi to voluntarily wait for the main family with them, and they couldn't force Akaishi to stay here and wait.

If we do nothing, aren't we just giving the credit to Uchiha Akaishi?

"Hiashi... Akaishi's strength shouldn't require your help. Why don't we stay and wait for the young clan leader?" Iroha said sullenly.

Judging from his eyes and tone, he wasn't dissatisfied with Hizashi's idea, but rather "reminding" Hizashi!

:

The current Hiashi is not only his older brother, but also the heir to the main family...

The three of them stayed outside, which meant they were giving the credit to the Uchiha.

It's possible that Hiashi might think, "It's better for the Hyuga clan to have some merit than none, since Hizashi should also be included. But it's also possible that Hiashi might think, "The Hyuga branch family has merit, but the main family hasn't, so it's better if neither of them does..."

Compared to Hizashi, Iroha was two years older and had a more conservative mindset, more in line with the branch family's survival strategy—if he didn't go in, nothing would happen... After all, this was Uchiha Akashi; if he wanted to go in, who could blame us for not stopping him? Even Shimura Danzo probably couldn't stop him here!

But if we go in, it might incur the displeasure of the main family.

This kind of thing has happened to Hizashi before—five years ago during the Chunin Exams, Hizashi made it to the finals while Hiashi was eliminated. The clan head and some elders from the branch families were very dissatisfied and treated Hizashi with extreme coldness… The clan head was, after all, Hizashi’s own father!

Therefore, Iroha's reminder was not without reason, and Hizashi immediately understood his meaning, and indeed hesitated for a moment...

But it was only for a moment!

Hizashi quickly said, "Although Akaishi is strong, there is always a risk in acting alone."

"Okay, you come in with me." Akaishi made the decision immediately, acting as if he had ordered Hizashi to do it.

The Hyuga clan can certainly disobey Akaishi's orders, after all, Akaishi isn't Hizashi's captain, and Hizashi is currently a Jonin, theoretically on equal footing with him...

However, Akaishi was clearly saying that on purpose.

Seeing this, Iroha and Kazuma immediately said, "Since that's what Akaishi said... then leave the outside to us!"

The two of them specifically emphasized that it was all because Akaishi forced them to do it.

Although some branch families of the Hyuga clan will do everything in their power to maintain or even elevate the interests and status of the main family, and will do everything in their power to suppress other branch families in order to maintain their sense of entitlement as dogs, not everyone is like that, especially the young people.

……

The vessel for this seal appears to be a twisted giant tree—the reason for the twisting seems to be because there is a hole in the trunk as tall as a person, and the entire giant tree twisted to create this hole.

If the giant tree had been like this before, even without the seal fluctuations, Akashi estimated that Maitreya would have noticed it.

It's very likely that something will change only on the night of the full moon!

Akaishi created a "mirror clone" that entered the tree hole first, followed by his main body, with Hizashi also following behind.

Once inside, it was indeed a hidden paradise.

Akaishi didn't rush to look for anything, but first said to Hizashi, "Actually, that kid is right, you shouldn't have come in."

Akashi couldn't say that while they were outside, so he reminded her now.

"I don't want to do anything 'wrong' because of the 'system of the main family and branch families,' otherwise the caged bird won't just be on my forehead, but in my heart..."
