Chapter 86 Oh no, something's fishy!
On the day they returned to Konoha, Akaishi once again treated everyone to Matsukuro—although the cost was considerable, the previous A-rank mission and the B-rank bounty this time were enough to cover it.
On one hand, it was an apology for causing the unexpected situation, and on the other hand, it was a special thank you to Lan Wu...
For some reason, whenever Akaishi thanked her for this, she would get very angry, so Akaishi stopped mentioning it.
It turns out that the personnel configuration is exactly the same as last time—[Team 7 + Kushina].
……
That night, Chishi once again stayed out all night. Outside the Death Forest, after using the [Prosperous Realm Moxibustion Foot Bath] once, he became "immersed" in it.
On the way back, I soaked in Chishi twice a day...
It was discovered that this effect does indeed diminish, and... the rate of decline is quite alarming!
At this rate of decay, whether one can awaken "Yang Release Chakra" within 100 attempts is uncertain—it won't be much different, nor will it be much earlier.
That's what makes it so heartbreaking...
In the end, it won't be just a little short, and I'll have to pay another 998?
"Judging from the way he asked for access to the hippocampus and amygdala before... it's really quite possible!" Akaishi muttered to himself, feeling quite uneasy about the character of the immersed demon god.
However, there was nothing Akaishi could do about it, so he could only... start saving money in advance!
During his return trip, Akashi has almost finished watching another short drama.
Tonight is the perfect time to wrap things up...
[The immersive experience of "It Was Your Dad Who Died" is coming to an end. This show was sponsored by the entertainment star "Antarctic Beast"! "Antarctic Beast" is giving away a two-hour game experience voucher...]
The episode selection for this episode was randomized by Akaishi because the previous "foot bath tub" was too expensive, so it had to be randomized.
The name that was randomly assigned was very familiar to Akaishi.
And upon closer inspection...
The plot looks even more familiar!
Aside from the fact that the deceased elders are different and the "wife's" profession has changed, everything else is basically the same...
Akaishi then realized the downsides of not requesting the video.
There are such similar dramas...
Once you randomly encounter this situation, it's basically only the emotions that are "driven by the rhythm" that are effective. Akashi himself experienced this for the second time, and the intensity of his subjective emotions was greatly reduced.
"Another two-hour trial pass..." Akaishi muttered to himself, opening his eyes.
"Hmm?" Akashi suddenly heard a strange rustling sound coming from the bushes next to him.
"Who?" Akaishi became alert.
Sharingan, activate!
Although there shouldn't be any enemies in the village, ... didn't the Cloud Village infiltrate us last time?
rustle--
The bushes swayed in the wind, seemingly without any apparent abnormality.
Since the Sharingan couldn't detect anything, Akaishi lowered his guard a bit.
but……
Just as Akaishi made a relieved expression and was about to put the kunai back into his ninja tool bag, he instantly changed his move and threw out two kunai at an incredible speed.
Tap—tap—
After throwing the kunai, Akaishi listened to the sound and found nothing unusual, so he finally relaxed his guard and secretly laughed at himself for "outsmarting thin air".
Akashi immediately stepped forward and picked up the kunai, but...
"Huh?" Akaishi was surprised again.
There, hidden in the bushes, was a scroll.
"The Warring States period seal history? Who left this here?" Akaishi muttered to himself, puzzled.
However, since there were no traces of sealing techniques on it at the moment, Akaishi did not realize that it was actually a confidential file scroll. He was just puzzled that the scroll looked very exquisite and did not seem like something that could be thrown away casually!
Akaishi assumed someone had accidentally lost it, so he opened it and took a look...
However, it was only then that Akaishi realized that the scroll had obviously been tampered with, and most of the text was no longer readable. Only one line could be seen: "Uchiha: Nameless Weapon".
Akaishi:……
After finishing reading, Akaishi abruptly closed the scroll, sweat beading on his forehead—something was wrong! Something very wrong…
The secret contained within astonished Akaishi…
The Uzumaki clan actually sealed away a "weapon" of the Uchiha clan in the Uzumaki Sea.
If someone else suddenly saw this, they certainly wouldn't believe it was a scroll of unknown origin.
However, Akaishi was different; he had just had an extraordinary encounter there...
Akashi compared the scene he had vaguely seen and felt at the time, and after a little thought, he realized that it must be real!
However, this immediately sent a chill down Akaishi's spine...
Why is this thing in front of me?
This must be a highly confidential scroll, right?
And coincidentally, the part related to the Uchiha clan was available, right after I drowned in the whirlpool sea...
Why does this scene seem so familiar?
It's a trap—Akaishi, only twelve years old, has experienced this situation many times!
Akaishi immediately tucked the scroll away and headed home.
But after taking only a few steps, Akaishi realized something was wrong—can I just go home?
If someone is framing me or testing me...
First of all, if it was a test, then it was most likely conducted by the Third Hokage himself.
Secondly, if it's a setup...
Akashi guessed that they were probably trying to frame him in front of the Hokage!
After all, Akashi is now a "genius" of the Uchiha clan. What's the point of framing him with others?
Besides the Hokage, who in Konoha could convict the Uchiha clan?
With this thought in mind, Akaishi quietly changed direction and headed towards Sarutobi's house...
If it was a test, even though I saw the record, I could still go to the Hokage to verify "what this is" without any problem—you can't expect me to immediately realize that this thing is unreadable, can you? Old monkey, don't go too far!
If it's a setup...
Then they definitely won't give me the chance to destroy the evidence or send the scroll back to the clan's territory; they'll just stop me halfway there!
Since the other party is trying to frame me, they must have other plans. In this situation, telling the truth will be useless. However... Akaishi has one last option.
As Akaishi gradually sorted out his thoughts, he had walked less than three hundred meters...
Whoosh whoosh—
Three figures wearing ANBU masks suddenly appeared and surrounded Akaishi!
Seeing this, Akaishi immediately drew his kunai, activated his Sharingan, and asked, "Who? What do you want?"
This is a perfectly normal reaction!
If any Uchiha were suddenly surrounded by Anbu members, their first reaction would not be to surrender.
"Uchiha Akaishi, we are acting on the orders of Shimura..." The ninja wearing the ANBU mask had barely spoken when Akaishi not only realized that this was a setup, but also understood who had framed him.
Without a word, Akaishi drew his shuriken and threw it at the three people around him. Then, while forming the "Shadow Clone" hand seal, he stared wide-eyed at the sky...
Seeing him throw the shuriken, the three ninjas wearing ANBU masks first laughed—that's it? Even if the Uchiha clan knows how to wield a shuriken, your skills are nothing compared to this!
It would be even better if you resisted...
But in the next instant, these shuriken multiplied from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight... and from eight to sixteen!
Ignoring the chakra consumption, Akaishi unleashed his full power with his sword shadow clones, and at the same time...
Akaishi used his Sharingan to employ the Uchiha clan's method of calling for help—he had to attract everyone's attention first, otherwise he would be directly interrupted... Ugh! What if he was directly attacked by Shimura Danzo?
The sudden surge in the number of shuriken caught the three masked ninjas off guard, causing them to momentarily lose their composure and become flustered.
Although it was only a brief distraction, Akaishi's goal was achieved—others couldn't see it, but those who had awakened their Sharingan could feel the chakra fluctuations here, and after opening their eyes, they could even see a huge Sharingan image suspended in mid-air!
