Uchiha Akaishi Tour

In a valley at the western entrance of the Grey Ridge Mountains.

Surrounded by cliffs, on a flat area accessible only by two gentle slopes, stands a rock fortress—the "Gray Ridge Communication Port," one of the intelligence and information transmission hubs of Iwagakure.

There are cursed seal patterns on the rock face; stepping directly on them will definitely reveal your location. On the two gentle slopes that don't require concentrated chakra to traverse, there are anti-stealth sealing techniques, and sensory ninjas are patrolling...

The veteran Jonin, Haigaku, who was at the communication gate, saw the young Jonin who had reported for duty a few days ago looking restless again and couldn't help but scold him, "Young man, you still can't keep your composure... Guarding intelligence security is also part of the war, why are you always in such a hurry?"

"Senior Gray Mountain is right... but I'm really worried about the situation at the front," Higashi Dead Man said with an embarrassed smile.

"The front lines have their own difficulties, and you also have your own responsibilities. These young people nowadays... all they think about is their achievements on the battlefield." Huiyue said, shaking his head with regret.

The dead man smiled ingratiatingly, but did not respond.

I wonder if it's because the Third Tsuchikage is getting older...

In Iwagakure now, not only is the Tsuchikage's decision-making becoming increasingly rigid, but there is also a pervasive sense of "seniority" from top to bottom.

It seems that as people get older, they naturally stop changing. It's perfectly normal for older ninjas to boss around younger ones, and even the promotion of ninja ranks takes seniority into consideration.

If it weren't for the war, these young people from the East would never have risen so quickly.

"I heard that when you were on the front lines, you were working with that old man Zi?" Hui Yue asked with a hint of disdain.

"That's right, I spent quite a bit of time under Captain Zi last year," Dong Siren said truthfully.

The last mission I went on with Lord Lao Zi was in the southern mountains, to search for the secret of the fusion technique...

As a result, he almost got killed by that Uchiha Akaishi!

"I heard he usually harbors a lot of resentment towards the Tsuchikage?" Haigaku asked, his tone accusatory.

"That's not true. Captain Old Purple has always held Lord Tsuchikage in high esteem in private," Higashi no Shijin said categorically.

"Hmph, that's good... He's a Jinchūriki, and he can still move around freely... Tsk tsk." Haigaku spoke as if he should be grateful, and even emphasized, "If he has any disloyal thoughts towards the Tsuchikage, we old guys will be the first to object!"

"Absolutely not," Dong Siren denied repeatedly, but what he was really thinking was: Who cares what rank you old fogies are...

Seeing this, Huiyue nodded in satisfaction, and then painstakingly explained the principles of being a good person to Dongsiren again.

Just as Gray Mountain was getting tired of talking and wanted to stop here for today...

boom--

With a loud bang, Gray Mountain and the Eastern Dead felt the entire communication port fortress shake...

The Eastern Dead was the first to react, instantly disappearing from his original spot and arriving at the top of the small fortress with the communication port.

What came into view almost scared the Eastern Dead Man to death—a crimson "Susanoo"...

:

"It's you? Could it be..." Dong Siren was shocked.

Could it be...

Am I actually a peerless genius being targeted by Konoha?

Is this "Konoha Red Stone" actually looking for me all along?

Akaishi from "Susanoo" recognized him at this moment—isn't this...that guy?

Swah——

hula-

Red Stone immediately swung his "Thunderfire Greatsword" at the fortress, and the falling rocks caused the Eastern Dead to scramble to dodge.

"Who... um? A Konoha ninja?" Haigaku was a step too slow to come out.

He then saw that inside this "technique" stood a young man who looked not very old and was wearing a Konoha headband.

address:\\\\\\\\\\\\.\\\\\\

"At such a young age, you want to learn how to build like others? This is not a place for you to run wild!" Huiyue said, taking out two huge curved swords from the sealed scroll on his back.

"Wait...he is..." Dong Siren was about to remind him.

Just then, the six Chunin who were at the base also immediately surrounded them.

But the next moment...

Bang, bang, clang—

The six Chunin collapsed without even realizing how they were attacked.

This is why Akaishi entered so silently—the guarding Chunin was instantly killed by genjutsu, leaving no time to do anything.

"You, you are... a member of the Uchiha clan?" Haigaku stared at Akaishi in shock, so frightened that he covered his eyes with his twin swords.

East Dead Man: ...

Akaishi looked at the guy with a puzzled expression.

Using large melee weapons, showing disdain or even mockery towards young ninjas, and trembling with fear upon discovering they are Uchiha... Isn't this typical Sengoku period ninja?

"Where did you dig this guy up from?" Akaishi asked with a strange expression.

East Dead Man: ...

However, Akaishi did not expect him to answer and directly used the "Hell Gate Technique" on him.

:

Under Akaishi's ninjutsu, the entire base began to gradually collapse, and its defensive formations were forcibly destroyed.

at the same time……

"This is... that old man's technique? The Uchiha clan can even copy bloodline limits?" Upon seeing this, Haigaku couldn't help but feel terrified.

Akaishi:……

"This is my combination ninjutsu!" Akaishi abandoned the base and chased after the old man, hacking away.

Akaishi hasn't forgotten the grudge of being plagiarized by Lao Zi before, and now there are actually people talking about "Lao Zi's technique"?

what--

Amidst screams, Gray Mountain was struck by the "Thunderfire Greatsword." Not only did the blade sweep across his waist, but the massive spine of the sword enveloped him, and in the next instant, he was reduced to ashes in the thunder and fire!

Susanoo is effective against small targets, especially small targets that one tries to avoid, but...

It also depends on the intensity!

Only someone with the strength of an "elite Jonin" like Ryoma Aburame could utilize this "weakness." For an ordinary... even somewhat weak Jonin, Akaishi stirred the Lightning Fire Greatsword in front of him, and the entire attack range already encompassed his maximum evasion range. His Sharingan could easily see through all his evasion trajectories.

After defeating Gray Peak, Akaishi turned around and went to confront the Iwagakure stronghold head-on...

The Eastern Dead Man had no intention of stopping them at all. He quickly organized the lower-ranking ninjas, took the communication materials that had not yet been sent, and fled in the opposite direction.

At the same time, Dong Siren was cursing in his heart...

That old man's delay time was far too short!

Dong Siren still wanted to use his last chance to send out the information as well—he had come out to check first, so Huiyue should have been the one to deliver the urgent message.

Who knew that Gray Mountain reacted a step too slowly, and then went out as well, drawing a wave of aggro from Red Stone.

But just then...

Just as Higashi was about to activate the sealing technique in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and instantly pushed his chakra to its limit, performing beyond his normal limits!

boom--

Crack—

Several meteor-like fireballs suddenly shot towards them.

Although the Eastern Dead Man dodged, the sealing spell in front of him, which was meant to transmit information, was instantly shattered!

The dead man in the east understood instantly.

This missed attack was partly because I dodged it, and the other part... was because the opponent's target was the stone wall, and I was just an afterthought, which is why they didn't change their attack while I was dodging.

:

The next moment, Higashi saw a Konoha ninja with long white hair walk out, looking as if he had just used ninjutsu.

"Y-you are…" Higashi-no-Man stared in shock at the person before him: "Jiraiya? Weren't you dead?"

Jiraiya: ...

Who the hell is spreading rumors that I'm dead?

Of course, Jiraiya understood that this news was entirely due to his long absence from the battlefield.

Although we don't know how he died, he's been missing for so long, so he must be dead... Konoha is just hiding the news.

This kind of rumor circulates not only among enemy countries, but even within Konoha itself.

next moment……

boom--

This time, Jiraiya suddenly felt a sense of crisis and instantly used the "Summoning Jutsu"...

The entire Gray Ridge communication port fortress collapsed completely in an instant due to the combined effects of internal and external forces.

Akaishi also saw what was happening inside from behind the collapsed rock wall!

The pink toad-like creature used an iron fork to hold back a bizarre human figure that was covered in red and black chakra and was no smaller than itself. The most bizarre thing was that this human figure had several tails behind it!

However, the next moment, it immediately stopped being strange.

The black and red figure instantly expanded, snapping the iron fork of Gamaken in two, while simultaneously revealing a massive, pure white body...

Resembling a horse with horns, and having five tails on its back... all of this reveals its identity—the Five-Tailed Beast!

"Lord Han... Lord Han?" Dong Siren, who had narrowly escaped death, was still in shock and had not yet come to his senses.

Why is Lord Han here?

Could it be...

The three legendary Sannin of Konoha faked their deaths to ambush me, and Lord Han... was it to secretly protect me?

"Hurry up!" Han's voice came from Wuwei's mouth.

"Yes!" Higashi no longer hesitated—this was also the case when he followed Lord Ooshi and encountered Konoha Akashi.

"As expected..." Akashi sighed as he looked at Han's beast-like figure.

Unlike before at the Kannabi Bridge, Han wasn't sent here by a sealing technique; he was already at the base!

He didn't even make a move when Akaishi attacked; instead, he waited until Jiraiya appeared before showing himself.

:

This undoubtedly proves...

He has some intelligence!

He not only knew that Akaishi would come and waited here in advance, but he also knew that Akaishi had powerful companions. Therefore, he waited for Jiraiya to reveal his location instead of showing himself directly. Even his companions in Iwagakure did not know that he was there.

Along the way, Maitreya had only vaguely sensed something at the beginning, and then he had not noticed anything unusual.

However, Akaishi kept this matter in mind, suspecting that his whereabouts had been exposed!

only……

Akaishi then looked around.

Aside from the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Akaishi did not see any other strong members of Iwagakure.

If they really knew that Jiraiya and his crew were coming and wanted to resist and kill them, they shouldn't have sent just one Han, right?
