Chapter 127 Imitation Uchiha Fan
Chapter 129 Imitation Uchiha Fan
Under the guidance of the Mirror Clan Elder and Grandma Chiri, it took Akaishi seven days to complete the first step of cultivating the "Mirror Clone".
This is supposedly an achievement that would be impossible to complete in all aspects of cultivation, but—
After that, Akaishi completed the second step in one day, the third step in another day, and then spent another day mastering the "Mirror Clone" technique—a total of ten days!
then----
"Red Stone, you've mastered the Mirror Clone technique to the point of being able to use it, and you've also learned several other special techniques. Go see the clan leader tomorrow; he probably has something else to tell you." Mirror was clearly about to step down from his teaching duties.
On one hand, Akaishi has already learned the Mirror Clone Technique; on the other hand, the Tsuchikage and Mizukage will be arriving in the village tomorrow, and the Anbu will be very busy afterwards.
"Yes! Thank you, Elder Jing." Chi Shi said sincerely.
Although he sometimes felt that the Mirror Clan Elder was a bit abnormal, it did not affect Akashi's gratitude towards him.
"Yes, you must remember that you are the Red Stone of the Uchiha clan, and also the Red Stone of Konoha!" Kagami encouraged.
"I've got it!" Akaishi continued sincerely.
At times like these, there's no need to take it so seriously.
On July 28, Chishi came to see the clan chief early in the morning.
"Chishi is here? Come on, I'll take you to get something good." Jiancheng said as soon as he saw Chishi.
Akashi's eyes lit up upon hearing this—take it? Is this a gold coin explosion?
Jian Cheng acted swiftly, taking Chi Shi directly to the underground storage area within the clan. After breaking the seal on the stone door, he led Chi Shi inside.
It contains ninja tools, armor, and the like.
Armor was still worn during the Warring States period, but fewer and fewer people wear it now.
Although the era of the ninja villages has only lasted for more than thirty years, after things settled down, firstly, the number of war laborers decreased, and the ninjas' battles shifted from large-scale wars to small-scale conflicts; secondly, after the establishment of each hidden village, they actively expanded various ninjutsu and secret techniques, and the importance of taijutsu has decreased a lot compared to the Warring States period.
In this situation, the armor becomes impractical and only symbolic. The Uchiha clan only wears armor on occasions such as rituals.
Most of the things here are only symbolic —
It wasn't until Jiancheng showed Chishi the three round fans inside!
These three enormous round fans were clearly extraordinary; each was as tall as a person, even a bit too long for Chishi. The fan surfaces were gourd-shaped, and the fan bodies appeared very heavy.
"This is—" Akaishi was stunned upon seeing this.
"You've heard of the Uchiha fan, haven't you?" Jiancheng asked in return.
"Yes, that's one of the treasures of our Uchiha clan. It was made from a sacred tree by the legendary Sage of Six Paths and given to our ancestor Indra. It has been passed down from the Ninja Clan era to the present day," Akashi nodded.
Chishi didn't know what the sacred tree was either; that's just what the legends said.
"That's right, this is a replica of the Uchiha fan." Kensei said without much surprise.
Akaishi thought so too!
There was definitely only one Uchiha fan originally, and it was embezzled and taken away by Madara Uchiha.
After all, even if people didn't approve of the clan leader at the time, no one could get anything from him!
"It's a pity that the real Uchiha fan was lost after the Battle of the End Valley —" Jiancheng said regretfully.
The Uchiha clan was naturally very dissatisfied with this matter at the time, however—
No matter how you try to separate them, Madara Uchiha was once the head of the Uchiha clan. He brought the Nine-Tails back with him, intending to destroy Konoha. The First Hokage was also seriously injured in this battle, so the Uchiha clan couldn't really pursue the matter of equipment being lost.
and----
"Afterwards, to compensate the Uchiha clan, the First Hokage used his Wood Release technique to create some replicas for us. Even the First Hokage, as strong as he was, could only make one set per year, a total of sixteen sets. Some were destroyed in various battles, and now only six sets remain. Three of them are in the hands of clan members skilled in taijutsu, including Kagami, and three are here as spares. Now—you can take one too!" Jian Cheng said, beckoning.
As for what exactly the "various battles" that were destroyed were —
Don't ask anymore!
Although the Uchiha fan was also crafted by the Sage of Six Paths in legend, it was not as effective as the Six Paths Treasures of the Gold and Silver Brothers.
The greatest use of the Uchiha fan is to work in conjunction with the Uchiha fluid jutsu, making it a weapon used for defensive counterattacks!
Therefore, the only ones who obtained these replica fans were the Uchiha, who usually relied on taijutsu.
The mirror, of course, goes without saying.
Since the core of the tactic is "Mirror Clone", it is still necessary to enhance the blocking ability of the clone. Although the "Mirror Clone" will split after being attacked, it will definitely not be able to withstand continuous attacks.
Neither the mirror nor the red stone possesses unlimited chakra.
At this point, the defensive "Uchiha Fan" can increase the difficulty of destroying the clones!
Upon hearing this, Akaishi randomly picked up one of the three identical "Uchiha fans".
Although it's called a "fan," it's actually made of hardwood and is quite heavy.
These are not at the level of Six Paths Treasures, and they don't have any special functions. They are just sturdy treasures, and shadow clones can also be created from them, though they are not as sturdy as the original.
It was precisely because Akaishi had learned the "Mirror Clone Technique" that Kensuke decided to give Akaishi one of the few remaining "Uchiha Fans".
After all, Hashirama Senju is no longer here, and even a replica of the Uchiha fan is a non-renewable resource.
"It's a pity you don't have the talent for Wind Release, otherwise the Uchiha fan could also be used as a medium for releasing Wind Release," Jiancheng said with a hint of anticipation.
Yes, it's anticipation.
After all, Akashi is only at the second level now, and his chakra is barely at the minimum level of a Jonin. There is still room for him to awaken other attributes in the future.
When Akaishi came out of the clan's territory, he was carrying an Uchiha fan on his back, which made him look a bit like a small horse pulling a large cart.
For the remaining four days, no further guidance was arranged within the clan, because after mastering the Mirror Clone Technique, what Chishi needed to improve most was his physical skills.
And physical skills—
Uchiha clan members cannot spar with each other!
Therefore, Akaishi decided to go find Mighty—although there were only four days left, he could still cram before the battle.
Especially now, Akaishi has also obtained a "Uchiha Fan", which has greatly changed his taijutsu style.
Akaishi was lucky; Might Guy was still at home and hadn't been invited out.
"Akaishi? There are only four days left until the final exam, right? Does that mean I need to spar with him?" Might Guy said with great surprise when he saw Akaishi.
Akaishi had already "recharged" Might's account with this month's secret medicine.
Previously, he was either taking exams or undergoing high-intensity training within the clan, so he didn't have time to spar with Matt Damon.
However, Mighty was not upset about Akaishi's visit; on the contrary, he was very excited.
They're about to represent Konoha in a battle in front of the Kage of other great hidden villages and guests from the three great nations. What does it mean that they're asking me to spar with them at this time?
Rounding down, I, Might Guy, can be considered to have gone to the battlefield and fought for Konoha!
"Let's go practice!" Akashi added, "But Lanwu isn't here this time, so I'll hold back a bit."
Matt Day's wife then smiled as she saw him off, looking much better than her previous worried expression.
Although my husband's earnings haven't increased, at least his health is better than before.
Then Akaishi and Might Guy arrived at the training ground, on their way to Akaishi's usual "private training ground" —
"Hmm?" Akaishi suddenly saw Hiashi practicing Gentle Fist in a wooden dummy training area. He was practicing only the fist techniques and not using chakra, and his expression was very serious, even somewhat distressed.
"Dai, wait for me a moment."
Seeing this, Akaishi went into the training ground to comfort him.
It is obvious —
Hiashi's frustration likely stemmed from the fact that only his younger brother passed the final exam.
"Hiashi, you're so free, how about we practice some taijutsu? I'll let you have a bit of a feel for it!" Akaishi invited.
The figure in haori and hakamaro withdrew their fist upon hearing this, then turned to look at them with a stern face.
"First of all, I am Hizashi—" Hizashi corrected Akaishi again.
There are many people who would mistake them for brothers.
But getting it wrong every time is a skill in itself!
"?" Akashi was taken aback upon hearing this.
The reason why Akaishi immediately thought of Hiashi was because—in Akaishi's mind, Hiashi, who had advanced to the final exam, must be being trained and instructed by the Hyuga clan.
At a time like this, the Japanese football team that's still practicing alone like an unwanted child is likely to be eliminated.
unexpectedly----
"Ah—have you mastered some powerful technique?" Akaishi suddenly said that he had also mastered "Mirror Clone" and started practicing it himself.
However, even after saying this, Akaishi felt something was off!
Akaishi practiced on his own to improve his taijutsu. However, the Uchiha clan's taijutsu couldn't be practiced in clan sparring, but this wasn't the case with the Hyuga clan; sparring between members of their Gentle Fist style was perfectly normal.
As expected, after the day's journey, he still had a straight face and said, "A powerful move, huh? He shook his head and said, "Heh, what powerful move can a branch family learn? After I advanced and my brother was eliminated, those guys will really go and teach my brother even more."
As he spoke, Hijikata instinctively touched his headband—behind it lay the "caged bird" he had gradually forgotten.
Akaishi:————
Although Hizashi didn't say anything directly, Akaishi felt that Hizashi harbored some resentment towards him.
So Akaishi comforted him, saying, "What ridiculous rule! I'll teach you sealing techniques later to break this broken curse!"
Daily difference:————
If anyone from another clan were to say this, Hizashi would suspect that the other party had malicious intentions and was trying to sow discord within the Hyuga clan.
If it were any other Uchiha, Hizashi would suspect he was gloating and deliberately trying to annoy him, but Akaishi's words...
Although he knew that Akaishi meant well, Hizashi just smiled sadly and said, "Our Hyuga clan has a history of over a thousand years. The main family and branch family system has existed since the Ninja Clan era. Over the past thousand years, countless branch families—and even geniuses from the main family—have tried to break the Caged Bird Seal, but no one has ever succeeded."
Upon hearing this, Akaishi waved his hand dismissively and said, "Why don't you think about it the other way around? No one has succeeded in the past thousand years. If you succeed, wouldn't you be the greatest genius in the history of the Hyuga clan?"
