Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Red Stone Squad, Gray Spine communication port successful.

However, the appearance of the Han at the Grey Ridge Communication Port made Akaishi decide to change course and head north!

Akaishi can communicate with Orochimaru in the village by using Ryuchi Cave as a transit point.

On one hand, he informed Orochimaru about the changes at the Gray Spine communication point and requested instructions on future plans; on the other hand, Akaishi also wanted to inquire about the situation of the other teams from Orochimaru.

After deciding to go to Yanpan Village, Chishi summoned a small white snake and had it carry a seal scroll that he had written himself back to Longdi Cave...

"I estimate we'll receive Orochimaru's reply in about a day. Let's head north!" Akaishi said.

The little white snake couldn't summon itself to Orochimaru; it could only wait for Orochimaru to do so. Akaishi and Orochimaru had an agreement on a daily time for summoning.

Although there was no formal approval, Akaishi originally had the authority to make decisions on the spot, and besides...

"Not waiting for Orochimaru's reply? That guy is super awkward," Jiraiya warned.

"I'm just a son-in-law of the Uchiha clan," Akaishi said, waving his hand dismissively.

Jiraiya: ...

"Jiraiya-sensei," Lanwu suddenly spoke up. When Jiraiya looked at her with a puzzled expression, Lanwu continued, "Our Forest City isn't like that, and it's not considered marrying into another family!"

Jiraiya: ...

Jiraiya, of course, understood why Lanwu brought this up—it wasn't a secret that Jiraiya had pursued Tsunade before, and both Tsunade and Orochimaru vaguely knew about it.

"Those who bully their sisters-in-law are usually the most ruthless," Akaishi warned confidently.

……

After deciding to change course, the Red Stone Squad indeed did not encounter any interception.

This also proves that this move not only caught Iwagakure off guard, but also that it was indeed not being followed, rather than Miroku not noticing it!

then……

Akaishi, now slightly relaxed, continues to immerse herself in the world each night after creating her "Mirror Clone."

"Don't worry, everyone. It's not like Hongyan is the only one with a refrigerated truck. I'll get everyone in touch!"

"We need to rent a car? We have to pay upfront before we even sell it..."

"Are you stupid?! Boss Wang charges thirteen yuan a pound, while Hongyan only charges six yuan a pound. That extra seven yuan a pound isn't enough to cover rental and transportation costs!"

"Hello, this is Nanshan Village. Looking to use a car... or for feeding?"

"What? They're all rented out? Wait..."

:

"Don't rush, everyone! It won't take long to get to Boss Wang's warehouse from here; we'll just use our own trucks to haul it!"

"But without cold storage, what if the heat in the field can't dissipate and the fruit spoils?"

"What are you afraid of? Everyone, young and old, bring your fans, we'll cool the fruit ourselves!"

……

"Brother Hongyan, did you hear that? They're messing around right now... sigh."

In Nanshan Village, there was also a fan of Hongyan. Although he hadn't said anything before, he had sold tens of thousands of kilograms of lychees from his own farm to Hongyan without refunding them. At this moment, he was secretly broadcasting the news to Hongyan live.

Hongyan had already arrived at Beikan Village by then...

"Are you really going to buy them all for five yuan, regardless of variety or size?" The village chief looked at Hong Yan eagerly.

"That's right, and there will be no reduction in branches and leaves, no deduction in weight, and no reporting of losses. You pay a 30% deposit first, and the full amount will be credited to your account within one day."

"What about the packaging and shipping costs..."

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

"I'll cover everything. Once you've been weighed here, I'll buy it outright, no questions asked."

"Village chief! I heard that Boss Hong in Nanshan Village charges six yuan a day..."

"That's right, Nanshan Village is six pieces."

"Then why do we only have five pieces!"

"The quality of the fruit you're growing now is poor, so I can only offer you five yuan. If we cooperate in the future, I can find someone to provide guidance. As long as the quality of your fruit reaches the level of Nanshan Village, you'll also get six yuan next year."

"this……"

"I heard it's over ten yuan in town now."

"The prices in town are on paper; you can sell them there. My prices are here. Sign, take the fruit, and it'll be five yuan."

Hong Yan appeared composed and calm.

Akaishi tried several genres before finally choosing the "acquisition default" theme, partly because of this—the protagonist, though somewhat overly kind, is at least logically sound and not a "god."

"What are you still hesitating about? Have you forgotten that last year the mountains were full of fruit that couldn't be sold, and we ended up having to send them to processing plants in bulk at low prices? What we need to look at now isn't how much it's worth on paper, but how much it will actually cost to get our hands on it!"

"That's right, there hasn't been this opportunity in previous years..."

"Boss Hong, I'll be the first to sign!"

"I'll sign too..."

:

Hongyan received enough lychees in Beikan Village and sent them back to his transfer and sorting cold storage overnight.

But just then...

"Boss, the people from Nanshan Village are here," someone quickly reported.

"What are they here for?"

"I also brought lychees..."

"What? Keep them all outside! Close the factory gates! Lychees that haven't been inspected are strictly prohibited from entering the factory!"

Hong Yan arrived at the door and asked through the iron gate.

"Weren't you going to Boss Wang's place? What are you doing here?"

"That Mr. Wang is a dishonest businessman. He said 'maximum thirteen yuan,' but he actually charged us for grading and packaging the fruit, and the scale was faulty. In the end, it was even more than what you offered... oh dear."

"It doesn't amount to much more than what you get, Boss Hong. We've been working together for so long, I'll give you priority... It'll only cost you seven dollars..."

"No, I won't accept it," Hong Yan said decisively.

"Hey...you...six yuan! Six yuan is fine, okay? You really know how to make money."

"No, we won't accept it."

"What do you mean? Didn't we agree to take all six dollars?"

"The contract has been terminated; there are signatures and video recordings." Hong Yan remained calm and composed as always.

"Just because the contract is terminated doesn't mean you won't make money anymore. What about the fruit from our Nanshan Village...?"

"No, I won't accept it. It's not about the price now. My transshipment warehouse is already at full capacity, and besides... your fruit was picked yesterday during the day, right? It's been more than ten hours since then, and there has been no cold chain transportation or any testing. I won't accept fruit like that."

"You... Fine! You've made so much money in our Nanshan Village, and now you're deliberately trying to embarrass us over such a trivial matter, huh?"

"You're just taking advantage of our situation because we've already picked the fruit and are in a hurry to transport it!"

"Folks, let's unload the fruit at his doorstep and see what he can do!"

"Xiao Li, record the whole thing, then call the police." Hong Yan said, then turned and left.

After dumping several baskets, the villagers of Nanshan Village realized that the other party was just recording through the iron gate and had no reaction at all. Hong Yan had already left, so they reluctantly picked up the baskets and took them back.

Although Hong Yan hadn't slept all day, he couldn't rest now...

"Have you made contact with the equipment side?"

"We've made contact, is it going to be demolished today?"

:

"Okay, let's go to the cold storage in Nanshan Village today and dismantle the equipment first. I'm afraid there will be problems if we wait too long."

"Boss, why don't you rest first, I'll go? You've been up all day..."

"No, I have a feeling something else might happen... I'll just take a nap in the car. Make sure you have the dashcam footage and inform the police in advance that something might happen."

……

When Akaishi woke up, he first had a series of seemingly distressed memories, and then he became radiant.

Hmm, the things that Akaishi Satoru found enjoyable this time actually resonated with me quite a bit...

"You... dreamed about the Hinata brothers again?" Lanwu looked at him suspiciously.

"No, I dreamt that Kusagakure's outsourcing was gone, and they came back crying and begging me," Akaishi said confidently.

Ranmai, Jiraiya: ...

Oh, so he's gone crazy again.

The next day at noon, Akaishi raised his hand and called a halt to the march.

"It's almost time," Akashi said, forming a summoning hand seal.

Then the little white snake appeared again, but this time it wasn't carrying any scrolls. Instead, it appeared after seeing Akaishi's activated Sharingan...

Kara-gala-

After the little white snake was reflected in the Sharingan's pupils, its head began to twist and gradually became humanoid, even growing hair on its head!

Although the overall face shape is still a "snake spirit face", you can vaguely tell from the features covered with scales that it is Orochimaru.

The White Snake's Reincarnation Technique.

This ability is not a direct result of the Uchiha Sage Mode, but rather a secret technique developed by Orochimaru himself.

The ability to temporarily "possess" the white snake is likely achieved by infusing one's own Sage Chakra into the white snake.

Although Orochimaru taught Akaishi, Akaishi couldn't learn it.

It's not very useful in combat; for now, it's just more convenient for communication.

"This is truly hellish," Jiraiya muttered to himself upon seeing this.

"Akaishi-kun, keep an eye on your team." Orochimaru glanced at him and said in a sinister tone.

Jiraiya: ...

"I know about your ambush by the Five-Tails. I haven't received any urgent messages from the other three teams yet," Orochimaru said, addressing what Akaishi cared about most.

:

"Then it should be alright." Akaishi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The other teams also have emergency contact methods, even if they are slower than Akaishi's method of contacting Orochimaru. However, a day has already passed, and two teams are planning to make their first move even earlier than Akaishi's team.

They didn't send any messages, so there's probably nothing unusual going on.

"The plan to change course and attack the Earth Capital Rock Camp is good, but remember not to linger in the battle. At most three hours, whether successful or not, withdraw immediately. You can adapt to the situation and there is no need to go to the Kannabi Bridge."

Orochimaru, in a hoarse voice, confirmed Akaishi and Jiraiya's plan.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya glanced at Orochimaru a couple more times—this guy seemed to have become more talkative?

"Don't worry, it won't take more than three hours!" Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"Shall we make our move in two days, at dawn?" Orochimaru confirmed with a tentative estimate.

"Yes!" Akaishi nodded.

"Alright, I'll have Minato and Tsunade get ready," Orochimaru said sinisterly.

Akaishi:……

That water gate?

Akaishi keenly realized...

Has Hiruzen Sarutobi already shown too much expectation and trust in Minato?
