Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 89 Uchiha's Obsession

Chapter 91 Uchiha's Obsession

Chishi was helpless against the "typical infuriating actions of Clan Chief Jiancheng and Clan Elder Lanyu". They didn't bother to explain to the third generation. With Chishi "immersed" in the drama, his "bursting flame (urgency)" was about to rise again!

If we could just take action and kill the opponent directly, that would be fine.

The problem is that the Uchiha clan doesn't actually have the strength to overthrow the Hokage, so they still have to work under him, right?

Why did he have to pressure the Hokage just now? Just to vent his anger by capturing a few low-level thugs? Even Akaishi doesn't understand that.

In Akashi's view, this is what happens when someone is tricked by a green tea bitch and then tries to get into a disadvantageous position by being unreasonable and making trouble for themselves!

Previously, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already quite dissatisfied with Shimura, and conversely felt somewhat guilty towards the Uchiha clan, but—

Shimura, that old scoundrel, immediately chickened out, while the Uchiha clan charged forward in a frenzy!

"Alright, Akaishi, you've been wronged today, but don't worry, we'll definitely get justice for you! Go and rest now—" Kensei clearly wasn't going to let it go so easily.

This is what Akaishi is most worried about!

"Clan leader, after all, the Hokage said not to actually harm their lives. How about I have Tanuki try to break the curse seal with a sealing technique? If not, I'll take revenge myself." Akashi said specifically.

"Hahaha, you're still young and not ruthless enough!" Jian Cheng laughed.

"You don't need to worry. Their deaths are a problem with the curse seal. What does it have to do with me?" Lan Yu replied matter-of-factly.

Akaishi:————

As expected, the clan leader and the others wanted to kill those people directly, but there was nothing Chishi could do about it. Even if he objected, the clan leader would only scold him for not being ruthless enough!

This wasn't about giving Akaishi a piece of their mind. In Kensuke's eyes, this was the Uchiha clan's retaliation against Shimura Danzo and Root—as for the Hokage's face? What a load of rubbish!

Akashi's worries did nothing to change anything. After all, he was just a "genius" now, and even in the eyes of Kenshin and Lan Yu, he was a "genius with an uncertain future," which was far from enough to change the Uchiha clan.

A few days later, Akaishi only learned the "result" directly.

As expected, the Uchiha clan showed no mercy to anyone in the previous conflict.

The four Root members, all dead in gruesome manners, were sent back to Root.

The only thing we should say to "give them face" is that they did indeed die from the backlash of the "cursed seal," so that we can give them an explanation: it wasn't us Uchiha who harmed them, it was the cursed seal of the Root that harmed them!

-

However, judging from the injuries on their bodies, they had been tortured before they died. Even though they knew there was a "cursed seal" to restrain them from leaking information, they were still tortured. Afterwards, they were forcibly controlled and activated the "cursed seal" to its extreme using illusion magic, causing them to be devoured by the cursed seal and die.

According to the Uchiha, of course "the responsibility lies with Root," because who told you to cast the "cursed seal" and then not unseal it?

only----

Everyone knows that the Uchiha deliberately used underhanded tactics!

It's important to know that most of the current Root members are not Danzo's "suicide squads." After all, Root has only been established for a few months, and there isn't enough time to train a large number of suicide squads. Most of them are selected by Danzo from ordinary ninjas.

Four members of Root, two of whom are from ninja clans —

However, even when the ninja clan pleaded for mercy, they were all tortured to death in the same way.

It certainly has a deterrent effect.

But this also makes more people think that the Uchiha clan and Danzo Shimura's Root are both bastards!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, in particular, had a gloomy expression for several days.

He was initially indignant about Shimura Danzo's actions, but now, recalling the deaths of the four ninjas, he felt that the Uchiha clan, who had killed their comrades, were even more despicable.

In the Hokage's office —

"Sarutobi, we can't hesitate any longer. Before the Chunin Exams, let's completely sever Minato Namikaze, the Jinchuriki candidate, the teacher's granddaughter, from the Uchiha clan!" Danzo urged Sarutobi.

The core idea is simple—to create Team 7 from Uchiha Akaishi!

After all, Team 7, where Akaishi was, not only had the genius Minato Namikaze, but also Ranma, the granddaughter of the Second Hokage, and even had a good relationship with Kushina Uzumaki before.

Danzo saw this as extremely dangerous and inconsistent with the grand strategic policy of "isolating the Uchiha clan from Konoha".

After taking a puff of his pipe, Sarutobi calmly said, "We should ask for their opinions on what to do."

Sarutobi has already given his approval on this matter—compared to directly taking action against the Uchiha clan, "sending" Akaishi back to the Security Department is a relatively easier decision to make.

Sarutobi then glanced at Danzo sitting to the side and said, "It's good that you didn't actually hand over the 'Sengoku Seal History' to the Uchiha clan before—but then hurry up and put it back."

Sarutobi is now speaking frankly and openly.

In Sarutobi's view, what Shimura Danzo did this time was relatively less ruthless.

Based on Sarutobi's understanding of Shimura Danzo, this guy was fully capable of doing something like "actually showing the contents of 'The History of the Sealing of the Sengoku Period' to Akaishi," but this time he restrained himself.

"I—" Danzo was at a loss for words, but since Sarutobi was his old comrade-in-arms, there were some things he could say: "I don't know what he meant by the scroll disappearing!"

Danzo didn't dare to say directly that he was the one who gave him the scroll.

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi frowned, clearly not entirely convinced.

"Sarutobi, think about it—how could anyone carry scrolls around just to carry those things? I think this is a conspiracy by the Uchiha clan!" Danzo stated his argument.

Sarutobi frowned upon hearing this.

"Moreover, Root has observed him before. The reason he always trains outside at night is because his eye power recovers faster than that of an average Uchiha. If this continues—" Danzo continued to provoke.

However, Sarutobi interrupted, "Isn't it a good thing that the young people in the village are talented?"

"You don't really think anyone would carry those statues around with them, do you?" Danzo added fuel to the fire.

Just then—

A knocking sound rang out on the door.

Sarutobi's gaze stopped him from continuing.

"Come in," Sarutobi said, and then Ranmai pushed the door open and came in.

"Lord Hokage————" After Lan Wu went to the Land of Whirlpools, her attitude towards Sarutobi improved a lot.

"Haha, little Lanwu, just call me Uncle Sarutobi normally," Sarutobi said with a smile.

Sarutobi was also relieved that his teacher's granddaughter had finally stopped blaming him and understood that everyone had made a difficult decision back then.

"Oh, Uncle Sarutobi." Lan Wu pouted.

"How does it feel to be a ninja?" Sarutobi asked.

"Not bad — but the missions are too easy." Lan Wu wanted some higher-level missions.

"Then—let's talk about it after you pass the Chunin Exams!" Sarutobi didn't agree to that.

Sarutobi immediately asked seriously, "Ranmai, how do you feel about your current teammates?"

"?" Lan Wu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that she had been called here to ask this question.

"Minato is outstanding. He is not only highly talented, but also knows how to take care of his teammates. He is also very friendly to other villagers. When encountering enemies, he is calm and composed and can make the best response. Akaishi is also alright." Lanwu said objectively.

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi's expression shifted, and he said, "How about we switch Akaishi and have Aburame Shiki join your team?"

"What? Why?" Lan Wu immediately frowned.

Seeing Lanwu's reaction, Sarutobi immediately realized—something was wrong.

Not only did her tone become a bit harsher, but after Lanwu finished speaking, she kept looking at Danzo with suspicion.

Although both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were students of the Second Hokage, Danzo Shimura was usually a gloomy person, and Lanwu had not had much contact with him, so she was far less familiar with Uncle Sarutobi.

but----

Now, Lanwu's gaze toward Danzo is clearly one of "doubt," or even "questioning."

Clearly, her first reaction to replacing Akaishi was dissatisfaction, and she even suspected that Danzo was behind it, which was indeed the case.

"This is a normal arrangement. Uchiha Akaishi was supposed to go to the Security Department after becoming a Chunin, and he didn't need to take the Chunin Exams—" Danzo then offered an excuse.

However, Lan Wu shook her head and said, "I don't know if this is what Akaishi means, but I think there's nothing wrong with the current configuration of Team 7. I think Minato thinks so too."

"Ranma! Being a ninja is not a profession you can act recklessly!" Danzo emphasized.

"If you're just assigning teammates directly, it seems you don't need to discuss anything with me." As the granddaughter of the second generation, Lan Wu is certainly not stupid.

Furthermore, she had also heard about the Uchiha clan and Root organization in the past two days.

Hearing Lanwu's curt words, Sarutobi stopped Danzo from speaking with a look, then asked kindly, "Little Lanwu, may I ask why?"

Lan Wu wrinkled her nose and said, "Because—I think the configuration is suitable!"

Sarutobi, of course, didn't believe such a statement, but he changed his approach: "The Uchiha clan has actually always had some misunderstandings about Tobirama-sensei, and we were also afraid—"

"Impossible!" Lan Wu said firmly.

"Huh?" Sarutobi was taken aback by her resolute tone.

Lan Wu immediately said, "At least Chi Shi isn't like that—I've seen it with my own eyes. He usually carries my grandfather's little sculpture with him and takes it out to look at it when he wakes up."

Sarutobi: !!!

Danzo: ————

"I see, then it seems we misunderstood—do your best from now on," Sarutobi said with relief.

"Fire—" Danzo fell silent after being glared at by Sarutobi.

Seeing this, Lan Wu glared at Danzo and then left.

"Sarutobi, are you just going to stand by and watch—"

"Shut up! Today you're going to find the 'History of the Sealed Warring States'!" Sarutobi said sternly.

Danzo: ————

Danzo wanted to say something more, but seeing Sarutobi's expression, he knew it was unnecessary. He understood that while Sarutobi was currently resentful of the Uchiha clan's actions, he treated Akashi differently, just like Uchiha Kagami—
