Uchiha Akaishi Tour

"It really is you... Uchiha... Akaishi!"

"It's Konoha Red Stone! It's Konoha Red Stone!"

"How did he get here? He's not..."

"Shut up! Impossible!"

"I haven't even mentioned that he defeated Lord Tsuchikage yet!"

……

In the past few days, rumors have been spreading throughout the Land of Earth, with the claim that "Konoha's Akashi defeated the Third Tsuchikage and even "spare his life" being widely circulated...

By the time the story reached the Shattered Sand Camp, it had become greatly distorted, and the Jonin of Iwagakure naturally refuted it extensively.

but……

Too many people witnessed the aerial battle between Akashi and Onoki at Yanpan Village, and even more people heard Akashi's final words. More importantly... the fact that "Onoki fled after his battle with Akashi at Yanpan Village" is already undeniable!

Thus, the reputation of "Konoha Red Stone" naturally rose even higher.

Now that Akaishi has directly appeared on the battlefield of "Shattered Sand Camp", it has directly dealt a blow to the morale of the Iwa ninja!

Even at the higher levels, Konoha's Akaishi's arrival made Lao Zi and Han nervous!

According to their previous intelligence, Chishi should not have come south, but should have left east after attacking Yanpan Village.

Is it true that a super-dimensional ninja has appeared in Konoha?

Roar--

Regardless, at this moment, Old Purple, in his four-tailed form, roared angrily, and then...

While charging towards Akaishi, he also called for the other Iwa ninja to retreat!

Han's reaction was similar, except that he targeted other Konoha ninja instead.

Clearly, the two Jinchūriki were using this method to cover the retreat of the other Iwa ninja.

Logically, although their on-paper strength is roughly equal, and Konoha even had the advantage after Minato, Jiraiya, and Akaishi arrived, however…

The fighting strength of a Jinchuriki cannot be judged solely on paper!

Some powerful elite Jonin can also contend with Jinchuriki, and there are even more who can remain undefeated against Jinchuriki.

However, once placed on the battlefield, the destructive power of a Jinchuriki is far beyond what any elite Jonin can match—even Akaishi's "Susanoo" is far inferior to the Tailed Beast's body on the battlefield, unless it can advance to another stage and gain a larger size and attack range, then it can be compared.

If two Jinchūriki were allowed to fight freely, even if Konoha were to achieve final victory, it would come at a great cost.

However, Lao Zi and Han have now decided to retreat...

It wasn't just because of Akaishi's appearance, but also because the two of them had received a secret order from Onoki beforehand!

The secret order instructed them to be careful not to "overly provoke Konoha".

When two armies clash, they should not be "overly provocative."

Upon seeing the secret order, the two understood that the Third Hokage had already begun to consider retiring.

Therefore, upon seeing Akaishi and realizing that the morale of the Iwa ninja would be affected, Han and Rōshi decided to cover the retreat and allow the Iwa ninja to withdraw...

Seeing this, the Konoha side did not give chase.

After all, "Jinchūriki" are very lethal on the battlefield, and Konoha does not want to make any sacrifices beyond their strategy.

The one who worked the hardest was Akaishi—after seeing the two Jinchūriki break, Akaishi immediately created two "Mirror Clones" and aimed them into the consciousness space.

Roar--

hold head high--

Old Zi and Han were now filled with impotent rage...

Heart-fluttering Tailed Beast. Incompetent Jinchuriki. Current Offender.av.

Although the two tailed beasts do not yet have names, Akaishi has already gained their initial trust by using titles such as "Third Hokage of the Ninja Clan," "appointed by the Sage of Six Paths," and "respecting the freedom of the tailed beasts."

at the same time……

hula-

At that moment, Chi Shi leaped into the air!

To make it clear to everyone that he was flying directly, Akaishi deliberately didn't activate his "Susanoo," but simply held up the Thunderfire Sword so that everyone could see him.

"Onoki is old, but you two are still young. Don't think I'll let you off so easily!" Akaishi rebuked sternly.

Upon hearing this, the fleeing Iwa ninja couldn't help but turn back...

Seeing that "Konoha Red Stone" could fly, he became even more convinced of certain rumors!

Roar--

Old Purple swung the stick he had condensed with Lava Release directly at me—"How dare you stand here so brazenly?"

Seeing this, Akaishi quickly dodged, and...

Open "Susanoo".

When facing a Jinchūriki, the Susanoo is still very necessary!

In contrast to the attack on Onoki, the Jinchuriki's attack was wide-ranging but still within the range that the second-stage Susanoo could withstand.

Two Akaishi attacking one Jinchuriki cannot achieve a single victory. Similarly, two Jinchuriki, even if they attack Akaishi together, also cannot achieve a single victory—after all, Jinchuriki are less adept at teamwork than ordinary ninjas!

Han understood this as well. Seeing that Old Purple had his eye on Red Stone, he charged into the Konoha ninja and began to recklessly rampage through them.

……

Seeing that the Iwa ninja had already left, Rōshi and Han also immediately left, not daring to stay for even a moment longer.

"Old Sun, don't believe that brat! Haven't you realized he's been lying to you all along?"

"Alright, Old Purple, I'm still lending you my power, aren't I? You don't need to keep saying bad things about Red Stone."

Old Zi: ……

To the Konoha ninjas who hadn't witnessed the clash in the realm of consciousness, the scene before them appeared as if Akaishi had single-handedly not only intimidated the Iwa ninjas but also forced back the two "Tailed Beasts."

As the two tailed beasts departed, the Konoha ninjas cheered and shouted...

Konoha Red Stone!

Konoha Red Stone!

Konoha Red Stone!

……

The original strategic objective was simply to facilitate the evacuation of troops, but Konoha actually managed to capture "Sand Shoal Camp".

After their initial excitement, the Konoha ninja got down to business—destruction.

"Sand-Small Camp" is of little value to Konoha. Its defensive capabilities are far inferior to Kannabi Bridge, essentially making it an isolated site within the Land of Earth.

Rather than waiting for the Iwa ninja to take it back, we should destroy all the defensive facilities here first!

In this way, Iwagakure will be unable to threaten Kannabi Bridge for a long time, and Konoha will maintain its strategic advantage during this period.

At the same time, amidst a cloud of white smoke from spatial friction, Akaishi and Jiraiya were "bounced" back to their original spatial coordinates.

Watching the two disappear, Mitomon and Utatane, unsure whether to feel anticipation or worry, found Mitomon amidst the surrounding noise and asked him to confirm the events at Iwaban Village.

Seeing this, Minato immediately understood that the two advisors probably still had reservations about Akaishi... or rather, about the strength of the Uchiha clan, so...

When answering, Minato used a subtle approach, quietly informing the two advisors that when describing the situation, he should emphasize Akaishi's disheveled state during his battle with Onoki, and attribute Onoki's retreat to a strategic arrangement. In particular, he pointed out that Akaishi's final boast was "deliberate mockery."

Upon hearing Minato's words, the two advisors' expressions gradually changed.

In this way, Akaishi's strength was not too far beyond their expectations, and for Konoha, Onoki's reaction also indicated that the war was really coming to an end.

Of course, Minato kept his voice down the whole time, otherwise if Akaishi found out that he had ruined his show of bravado in front of everyone, he would definitely cause a scene.

Seeing the change in Mitomon and Utatane's expressions, Minato finally breathed a sigh of relief...

At the same time, I began to wonder if these consultants were actually doing anything worthwhile.

Minato understands and completely trusts Akaishi. However, it is precisely because of this understanding that he can comprehend the advisory group's concerns about the Uchiha clan. These concerns are not unfounded; in fact, they can be described as a "mutual support."

but……

If it were any other Uchiha whose strength suddenly increased dramatically, alerting the advisory group, Minato wouldn't think much of it.

However, when it came to Akaishi, Minato couldn't help but feel that they were overreacting.

When they applied the same attitude they had towards the Uchiha to Akaishi, Minato's heart began to tip...

……

Akaishi and Jiraiya returned to Ranma...

"As expected, Minato's skills still need improvement!" Akaishi said confidently.

Jiraiya: ...

"Minato's space-time talent is already the strongest in Konoha's history... no, it's the strongest in all the major ninja clans' records," Jiraiya said on Minato's behalf.

"Really? I'll learn from them too." Akaishi was still unconvinced.

Jiraiya: ...

"Your space-time dizziness is so severe, it's impossible for you to have any space-time talent." Jiraiya curled his lip—you and Orochimaru had the biggest reactions!

"Isn't there a situation where you get dizzy when someone else guides you to use space-time ninjutsu, but you don't get dizzy when you use it yourself..." Akaishi still wanted to argue.

"I've never heard of the situation you're talking about!" Jiraiya retorted decisively.

When Lan Wu and Mile met the two, although they didn't know what had happened, they could tell from their expressions that everything was going smoothly.

Seeing that Akaishi was still struggling with his decision, Lanwu calmly remarked, "Jiraiya-sensei, if he wants to try, I'll find someone for him to try later, and then he'll give up."

The Flying Thunder God Technique can also be found in a dungeon in the Forest Town!

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya couldn't help but give Lanwu a strange look—although the Forest City had it kept, it wasn't Lanwu who was in charge of it.

Why is it that not only is Lanwu so "outgoing" now, but those guys in Mori no Machi also think so highly of Akaishi? They say they'll give it a try, and then they just do it?

Upon hearing Lan Wu's words, Chi Shi seemed to remember something and moved closer.

"What are you doing? Why are you making such a disgusting face?" Lan Wu looked at him with disdain.

"Lanwu, do you still remember the time we had our water-treading competition?" Akashi stared intently at Lanwu.

"tread water?"

"It was the time I fell into the water..."

"Oh, isn't that just for show?"

"I'll settle the score with her later, that's not the point. After that, will you help me...?"

Lanwu: ...
