Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 25 Generation 8

Akaishi recognized the Uchiha Eighth Hokage who was on a mission with Hiruko. The Uchiha clan members would still go on missions when they were genin, but they would usually join the police force when they became chunin.

"You are...Akaishi?" Yashiro wasn't very familiar with Akaishi, but he recognized him.

……

"I see, congratulations." Yashiro congratulated Akaishi after learning about his awakening of his Sharingan.

Yashiro was the second most talented ninja in Akashi's generation, second only to Fugaku.

Upon learning that Akaishi wanted to copy Earth Release ninjutsu from him, he readily agreed—although the clan leader's orders had not yet been given to him, assisting fellow clansmen in copying ninjutsu was something that Uchiha clan ninjas often did.

Even without a specific order from the clan chief, if Akaishi came to him for help, Yatsushiro would agree.

"Hiryuu Chunin, I'd like to have a chat with my clansmen tonight," Yashiro asked Hiru, the leader of the temporary squad.

"Yes, of course, the mission is already complete anyway," Hiruko said with a slight smile.

but……

Akashi didn't know why, but he always felt that there were other emotions hidden in this guy's eyes.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

"As long as you don't affect the mission, that's fine," Jiraiya said directly.

In Jiraiya's view, their primary task right now is training, but... as ninjas, the premise is definitely not to delay carrying out missions.

"Yes!" Akashi immediately replied.

Afterwards, Akaishi and Yashiro went to the outskirts of the Flower Capital, found a field, and began to replicate the Earth Release ninjutsu.

After copying three C-rank Earth Release techniques and one B-rank Earth Release technique, Akaishi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Yashiro-kun, don't you... feel that Chunin Hiru looks like...?"

Hiruko's team was only a temporary team; it wasn't a combination of a supervising ninja and a genin, but rather a normal team of chunin and genin.

For the Uchiha clan, this wasn't considered a case of speaking too intimately with someone they barely knew. Both Akaishi and Yatsushiro tacitly acknowledged that their brotherhood was closer... even though the two hadn't exchanged many words before!

"It's nothing, just normal jealousy. Now that you've seen it all, you'll have to get used to it." Yashiro's tone was righteous, but also tinged with arrogance.

"Huh?" Akaishi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Akaishi was certainly aware of jealousy, but... what surprised him was that Yashiro was so calm about it.

"You should know that for ordinary civilian ninjas, C-rank ninjutsu is not something they can learn just by wanting to, and B-rank ninjutsu requires sufficient merit or opportunity. A-rank ninjutsu can even be the foundation of an ordinary ninja clan... But we Uchiha ninjas have countless ninjutsu once we awaken the Sharingan."

"Not to mention, even disregarding our background, once we awaken the Sharingan, our strength is already extremely high. Ninjas without talent or bloodline limits will only achieve about the same as us when we first awaken the Sharingan, at best equivalent to a second-rate ninja. Of course they're jealous!" the Eighth said arrogantly.

The pride of the Uchiha clan filled the air at that moment.

Yashiro's tone softened slightly as he remarked with a sigh, "I never imagined your teammate would be that commoner genius, and the granddaughter of the second generation... Well, at least your teammate won't be too jealous of you."

Judging from Yashiro's tone, he wasn't happy with his teammates.

However, the Eighth Hokage didn't care. Anyway, he was going to be transferred to the police force soon, and he could finally get away from those stupid ordinary ninjas. This was also the thought of many Uchiha people—"I have nothing to say to you ordinary people!"

At that moment, Akaishi was thinking...

Did you know that Lan Wu is the granddaughter of the second generation? Why didn't anyone tell me before?

Unlike Akaishi, Yashiro was also a genius of his generation, while Akaishi was just an unknown nobody...

"You must also live up to expectations and never disgrace the Uchiha clan in front of commoners and the second generation's granddaughter!" The Eighth Hokage instructed Akaishi afterward.

"Ah... I understand!" Akaishi came to his senses.

"What mission are you doing? Tell me what you can tell me," Yashiro asked specifically.

If it were just a matter of encountering Akaishi, Yashiro wouldn't have cared about this much.

But now...

Not only has Akaishi awakened his Sharingan and become an important member of the Uchiha clan, but his teammates are also Minato Namikaze and Ranmai. This makes the Eighth Hokage concerned, fearing that Akaishi's performance might be poor and bring shame to the Uchiha clan.

"There's nothing I can't say..." Akaishi said, explaining the details of the mission.

Some classified missions cannot be revealed even to ninjas from the same village, but the current mission of Akaishi does not have a high level of secrecy.

"I see, a thief... Minato's plan was alright, but it was too mundane." Yashiro shook his head critically after listening.

"You mean...?" Akaishi was taken aback by what he said.

……

Around 10 p.m., Lanwu and Shuimen were almost ready to go to their sleeping bags to rest when Akaishi returned to his room.

"Don't go to sleep yet, I've thought of a new plan!" Akaishi said confidently.

"You thought of that?" Lan Wu curled her lip—you just met Uchiha Hachimoku and you already say "I thought of that"?

"Yes, I came up with it after Yashiro-san gave me a hint!" Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"What plan?" Minato asked casually.

"That is... to arrest the suspects and interrogate them thoroughly!" Akaishi revealed a new plan.

Although the Eighth Hokage has not yet officially become a Chunin or joined the police force, as a rising star of the Uchiha clan, he is very familiar with police tricks—the fastest way, of course, is to interrogate directly!

"Well... Heiji is, after all, the catcher of the Flower Capital. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to do this?" Lanwu frowned.

"That's true, after all, they're not ninjas from Konoha." Akaishi nodded in agreement.

Lanwu, Shuimen: ...

Do you even need to look at what you're saying? Who said companions are the most important thing?

So the mission is "cheaper" than the one with the villagers, right?

"The key is that we don't know any interrogation ninjutsu. My genjutsu is also the most basic kind, achieved by disrupting chakra. It doesn't directly affect the mind and can't work on ordinary people. Sigh..." Akaishi shook his head regretfully, seemingly wanting to go back and learn properly from the elders in his clan.

Lanwu, Shuimen: ...

Alright, alright, you even have to learn genjutsu that's useful to ordinary people? Are you Uchiha people not going to act anymore?

Then, Akaishi seemed to remember something and said, "Right, even if we don't use this fastest method, fishing like this is too slow. If we really want to be found by them as soon as possible, we should find a place to sell stolen goods and sell them. That way, we'll be more likely to be targeted by the local thugs."

Lan Wu then curled her lip and said, "As expected of the Uchiha clan, they have so many ways to do things."

"Then take a look!" Red Stone. Fire Release Range +1.jpg.

Lanwu: ...
