Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Seeing Akaishi scolding the Hyuga clan elders like he was lecturing a grandson, Hiashi was also a little displeased, so he interrupted, "Akaishi, we are on the same mission, so I just wanted to confirm the details."

"Oh, I met the Sage of Six Paths in the seal. He told me that the Uchiha are the true lineage of Ninjutsu and that I should become the new Ninjutsu Master. He said that I should deal with the smaller sects as they need to be dealt with." Akashi spoke the truth.

"You..." Hiashi shook his head angrily.

"See, you don't believe me even if I tell you. Do you want me to give you a mission report?" Akashi shrugged.

Hiashi couldn't take those words to heart, so he just waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to talk to him.

As for Hyuga Hizashi...

Akaishi was not afraid of what he might say. Even if we disregarded the moral obligation to "keep it a secret" for Akaishi, he could not reveal his own secrets!

Tell them that the Sage of Six Paths gave him hope of breaking free from the "Caged Bird" curse?

They might "die" on the way back...

After all, all the Sage of Six Paths left him was a "hope," not a technique that would allow him to instantly free all the "caged birds" with a single hand seal.

After Akaishi left, Hiashi stopped the other clan elders from questioning Hiashi and personally inquired about the situation from him.

Of course, Hijiri only informed the clan about the situation before the "Sage of Six Paths" appeared.

The Hyuga clan then examined the huge tree hole, whose seal had already broken, but found nothing.

"Sigh, these days, the clan elders can't even stand up straight in front of Akaishi because the Uchiha clan only acknowledges him as a 'candidate' for the clan leader." Hiashi complained to Hizashi on the way back.

Richa remained silent.

It had been a long time since the two brothers had shared any private conversations.

And how can you say that about Japan?

Why don't you let your father try announcing the next clan chief and having the entire clan compete for the position?

This is clearly caused by the system of dividing the main family into branches; what can you say about the daily off-duty system...?

"This is all because the Hyuga clan is not strong enough, especially their sense of honor is not strong enough!" Hiashi said firmly.

Day difference:......

"Only when everyone genuinely believes that the Hyuga clan is the strongest ninja clan will the Hyuga clan's rules be the most reasonable. When facing other ninja clans... even the main families of other ninja clans, there's nothing to be ashamed of!" Hiashi's tone was very enthusiastic, as if he really wanted to boost the branch family's confidence.

However, the sir remained silent...

Seeing that Riji didn't respond, Riji showed some disappointment, but then he became resolute and didn't say anything more to his younger brother in private.

……

:

After leaving the sealed land, Akaishi met up with Miroku, then turned back and called on the members of the Uchiha clan, and together they returned to Konoha.

Just before the Lunar New Year, Akaishi returned to Konoha...

Although martial law is still in effect in Konoha, the war is no longer intense, so with Akaishi leading the way, obtaining "visitor" status from Konoha will naturally not be a problem.

Miroku's identity is not only clear, but he is also "influential" - after all, in the "Land of Demons", the priestess is not the actual leader, but her status is very high... otherwise she would not be bullied.

After returning, Akaishi first went to the Hokage's office to report on the mission.

Akaishi had already written the mission report on his way back...

"Not bad, completely annihilating Oni-Garara has relieved everyone of a worry." Sarutobi glanced at the report briefly, and after listening to Akaishi's report, he breathed a sigh of relief and praised Akaishi.

Although the damage caused by Oni-Gara was not strong, and Hiruko did not seem to become much stronger after acquiring Oni-Gara's power, the crimes he committed were huge!

While the war was still raging, he went so far as to murder and kidnap his fellow villagers to fund his research into forbidden arts.

Moreover, there have been rumors in the village that this forbidden technique can fuse with the bloodlines of other ninjas, even to the point of "bloodline limit," which is worrying, as some ambitious individuals might be eyeing it!

Now that Akaishi has completely annihilated Oni-Ya-Luo, this matter is finally over...

Of course, the report does not reveal what happened after the killing of Oni-Garaku.

Furthermore, Danzo isn't in Sarutobi's office right now, but Koharu Utatane is...

It wasn't that Hiruzen Sarutobi was being indecent and was caught by Akaishi in a room with Utatane, but rather that Mitomon was in Sunagakure dealing with post-war matters, and Danzo was still in the mountains on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass—he had gone there in person, and Akaishi hadn't informed him that Oni-Gera had been eliminated.

Koharu, with a stern face, questioned Akaishi a few more times...

However, the intensity of her "interrogation" was only comparable to that of "Danzo"—it was clear that while she had extra precautions against the Uchiha, she wasn't as hysterical as Danzo.

After Akaishi answered all her questions, Koharu Utatane remained silent.

"Did the priestess from the Land of Demons also come to visit Konoha?" Sarutobi asked at this moment.

"That's right, Miroku said he'll be staying in Konoha for a while." Akaishi nodded in agreement, then added, "I'll have her come and pay a visit to the Hokage tomorrow."

Sarutobi paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "No need for such formality... Please let Miroku rest well. I will personally go to see her later to thank her for the previous 'Mouryou' and for the 'Oni-Garara' incident."

Sarutobi was stunned, of course, because...

What does "you made her do this or that" mean?

Are you really that close to the priestess of the Land of Demons?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, after all...

When Miroku arrived in Konoha, he didn't contact any of the village's higher-ups. He claimed it was a "visit to friends" and immediately moved into the Uchiha clan's territory...

:

This isn't something we're very familiar with, is it?

However, this way...

"Akaishi..." Sarutobi hesitated for a moment.

"What can I do for you, Lord Hokage?" Akaishi replied immediately.

"It's not about entrusting anything, it's just that Lanwu..." Sarutobi isn't blind, so of course he could see the relationship between Lanwu and Akaishi.

The two have been teammates since they graduated five years ago, and... especially recently, it seems that their relationship has developed further after Orochimaru invited them to Loulan!

Sarutobi wasn't originally this sensitive, but Danzo kept whispering in his ear, telling him to be careful.

Sarutobi didn't take it too seriously at first. Whether it was "his teacher's granddaughter taking a liking to the Uchiha" or "the possibility of the Uchiha and the former Senju clan getting married," Danzo considered them to be big deals, but Sarutobi didn't object.

On one hand, Sarutobi was only wary of the Uchiha clan, far less obsessive than Danzo; on the other hand, their views on the Akaishi issue were completely opposite...

In Sarutobi's view, Akaishi was undoubtedly a "good kid," and even if he occasionally made mistakes, it was due to the pernicious influence of the Uchiha clan, so he couldn't be blamed.

"Novel Website" Hand-typed Update

But now Sarutobi is genuinely worried!

However, the direction of their concerns was clearly different from Danzo's...

"What's wrong with Lanwu? Is she in danger?" Chishi asked anxiously upon hearing this.

"Ahem... It's nothing. Lanwu hasn't left the village during this time either." Sarutobi coughed awkwardly, feeling that he shouldn't have asked such a question, otherwise he would not only appear "disrespectful to his elders" but also "meddling in other people's business."

Akaishi was puzzled—so what's with this "clunky literature" you're doing here?

Seeing that Akaishi was completely clueless, Koharu Utatane, who was standing to the side, became dissatisfied again...

"Akaishi, speaking of which, you're at the age to get married, aren't you?" Koharu Utatane asked at this moment.

Although she was not very familiar with Akaishi, it was easier for her to bring up these issues because she was a woman.

"Huh? There's no rush." ​​Akaishi was taken aback when he heard this, clearly finding the topic of the dormitory advisor quite sudden—if it were Grandma Chiri who brought it up with him during the New Year, it would be quite natural.

"However... I've heard that the lineage of priestesses in the Land of Demons only produces girls, who then inherit the position of priestess." Utatane began to coax her gently.

"Yes, I've already told Miroku not to have any more children!" Akaishi said matter-of-factly—Akaishi also knew that if a priestess gave birth to a daughter, she would gradually die because of the "reincarnation of the Mahasri Chakra".

Sarutobi, Utatane: ? ? ?

This child...

What are you saying?

:

Has it come to this point already?

"No, no need... Uchiha... um... that's your own business." Sarutobi was still a little confused.

After all, when Akaishi brought this up at this time, it sounded exactly like he was "preventing the Uchiha bloodline from flowing out."

Suddenly realizing something, Tuan Lun changed the subject and said, "Hmm... Lan Wu, that child, is just a bit assertive... The rules of Sen no Dai aren't that strict..."

Sarutobi was taken aback at first, then realized—Akaishi cared so much about this, could it be because… he couldn’t accept that the child didn’t have the Uchiha surname?

"The rules of the Forest Town?" Akaishi was taken aback, not knowing what they were referring to.

"The future belongs to you young people, and you should decide for yourselves what your children's surname will be." Sarutobi was also taken into the new dormitory.

"What's Konoha's surname? Konoha's surname is Uchiha, of course!" Akaishi answered instinctively upon hearing this.

Akashi immediately realized his mistake and corrected himself: "Ahem! I meant... if I had a daughter, I would like to name her Kinoko, hahaha..." He then laughed awkwardly twice.

However, neither Sarutobi nor Utatane laughed.

Few people know that the teacher's son named his grandchildren before he passed away, but... Sarutobi and Utatane do, since the teacher was the one who first came up with the name.

only……

How did Akaishi know this?

Have you all already talked about this?

but……

How did you manage to discuss child names with Lanwu and then talk to the priestess of the Demon Kingdom about not having children in the future?

Have we been talking a bit too much?

Akaishi was also puzzled—what's wrong with these two old men today? Why are they so easily startled...?
