Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 102 Intimidation

Chapter 104 Intimidation

"Let me see—this is how it should be used. Lanwu, put him down." While looking at the instructions, Akashi placed the "Uchiha Pleasure Chair," which was covered with iron thorns and had shackles lying haphazardly, and could put people in strange positions, under the two Grass Ninja who were hanging up.

"Will this even work?" Lan Wu asked, frowning.

"Just kidding, back then our Uchiha clan almost found out the truth about the assassination of the Second Kazekage using this!" Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

The Second Kazekage, Shamon, was very similar to the Second Hokage, Tobirama, except that his governing tendency was "pro-war". They both succeeded the First Hokage after the death of the First Hokage, who possessed absolute power. They both made good use of diplomatic skills, and both had many creative measures and developed many secret techniques!

In terms of creative initiatives, Shamon is certainly not as good as Tobirama. After all, the Ninja Academy and the Anbu were Tobirama's creations, and now these have become governance models for various hidden villages.

However, Shamon is no simple man either. He is the founder of puppetry and has also developed many secret techniques for manipulating sand. It can be said that he changed the way Hidden Villages fight even more thoroughly than Tobirama.

Tobirama possessed many secret techniques, but many of them had become "forbidden techniques." Even those that were not forbidden had very high learning thresholds. Moreover, objectively speaking, Konoha already had the most inherited techniques and the most diverse methods, so adding a few more secret techniques wouldn't have made a significant difference.

If we're talking about what changed the way Konoha fought, the "Shadow Clone Technique" would be the first to come to mind, but it only changed the ability to gather intelligence.

After Shamon improved the puppet technique, it directly made the puppet technique a common skill in Sunagakure. Originally, eight out of ten Sunagakure ninjas mainly used Wind Release, but now about half of them are proficient in puppet techniques.

Even now, when people mention the strength of Sunagakure, the first thing that comes to mind is not Wind Release, but groups of puppets and sand control techniques. "The Second Kazekage? Those sand-eating bastards, didn't they think that it was Konoha who sent people to kill that bald man?" Lan Wu was only five years old that year, but she still remembered a Sunagakure messenger holding a portrait of a bald man and cursing her grandfather.

Shamon died in an assassination eight years ago. Sunagakure was thrown into a panic and turned against Konoha, accusing Konoha of sending assassins. However—

"Yes, later we Uchiha tried this on that messenger at night—if your grandfather hadn't discovered it and stopped us, that messenger would have confessed that he assassinated the Second Kazekage!" Akaishi said confidently.

Lanwu: ————

"Alright, hurry up and put it down," Akaishi urged.

"Wait—wait! You haven't asked yet!" Fat Grass Ninja shouted hurriedly.

"Huh? You're willing to hand over ten coded messages?" Akaishi asked in surprise.

"Wish—Huh? We don't have ten codes. We only have—" Fat Grass Ninja hurriedly tried to explain.

"Fine, you're stubborn! Let's see if you're still stubborn in a bit!" Akaishi said, immediately putting him down.

The Grass Ninja could tell that this evil Uchiha seemed to simply want to find someone to test their vicious instruments of torture.

Wuwei's left hand trembled slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but Minato immediately pressed the kunai tip against the back of his neck: "Don't move."

"We only have one code word right now. You can take it if you want," Wuwei said.

"Only one code? Then it seems you can't make up for our losses!" Akaishi said sternly.

"Make amends? You are—" Fat Grass Ninja finally realized that their attack was not a coincidence.

"Only one code? Really? I don't believe it unless I see the scroll," Minato said calmly.

Wuwei hesitated for a moment, then remained silent.

Then Minato brought his left hand, which was pressing against his neck, and his right hand, which was bending his arm upwards, closer together, and then another Minato appeared next to him!

While holding Wuwei's wrist and the tip of the kunai, he completed the hand seals for "Shadow Clone"—such an unorthodox hand seal was enough to successfully execute the ninjutsu, which shows that Minato was already very proficient in Shadow Clone.

At this moment, the shadow clone that had been created controlled Wuwei's left hand and then took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag.

It was just a regular sealing scroll, not the scroll that Minato had imagined testing!

"Hmm? Where are your reels?" Minato asked, frowning.

"It's here with me," the chubby Shinobu said weakly.

Minato glanced at him, then at Wuwei.

It's speculated that there wasn't much harmony among these three people.

Whether in combat or in how one responds after being subdued, Wuwei's response is the most composed and calm, and also the strongest.

"Huh? You're the captain of the Grass Ninja? You don't seem as cold-faced as those guys over there." Akaishi said deliberately.

Lan Wu glanced at Chi Shi and said, "Perhaps it's because he's rather domineering and willful."

For example, in a certain Class 7, it was also Akaishi holding the scroll!

"Yeah, how pathetic." Akaishi didn't feel like he was being talked about at all—wasn't he a very competent captain?

Lanwu: ————

As she spoke, Lan Wu formed a fighting seal, controlling the water-style chakra that had seeped into the fat grass ninja's body. She then opened up her ninja tool pouch slightly, allowing Akashi to reach in and take out a scroll.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much useful content to be found.

Just like the exam scroll on Akaishi's body, the contents are usually hidden.

This concealment can only be unlocked by the bound user—or it can be broken with a sealing technique, but this is prohibited in the exam.

The downside of having your scroll stolen is that you can't "give up" afterward, and you can't write any received or intercepted codes into it. Theoretically, it won't leak anything, but if you want to intercept the codes, you still have to find a way to get them from the ninja.

"Wait—I can also tell you the coded messages we intercepted earlier, as well as the coded messages we used to deliver our mission, as an apology!" Wuwei said immediately upon seeing this.

"Shut up! You bastard—it's all your fault for saying you'd intercept other teams on the way, and now you've revealed our mission—you're more trouble than you're worth!" Fat Grass Ninja immediately complained to Wuwei, intending to blame Wuwei for the failure.

However, in reality, Akaishi and the others also realized it—

It was clearly this fat guy who almost blurted it out earlier, but Wuwei interrupted him.

More importantly, Wuwei is now using two coded messages to "apologize," essentially because he wants to get back the scroll. He doesn't want to give up the Chunin Exams!

"That's why everyone hates you people from the Grass Fruit realm. It's disgusting—why should we be on your team? Why did the leader send a Grass Fruit person to cause trouble?" Fat Grass Ninja complained incessantly.

Wuwei glanced at him but said nothing.

Seeing this, Akaishi snapped, "Shut up!"

The chubby grass ninja immediately fell silent, then seemed to remember something and said, "Konoha ninjas, these people of the Grass Fruit are just like that, always wanting to fight and kill. Actually, we Grass Flower ninjas are all very kind-hearted—isn't that right?" He wanted the gloomy grass ninja to prove him right, but the latter just nodded.

Akaishi then realized that although he had not heard of any internal strife in Kusagakure before, it seemed that the pro-war Kusanagi had already threatened the position of the pro-peace Kusanagi.

This is just a glimpse into the bigger picture. Although it doesn't seem as serious as the situation in Kumogakure, it already appears to be fraught with conflict.

"Two codes aren't enough," Minato said.

As they spoke, Minato and Akaishi exchanged a glance. Akaishi nodded almost imperceptibly, then revealed a sinister smile.

"Hehehe, let's collect some interest first."

As Akashi spoke, he immediately used a summoning technique. As Akashi formed hand seals, the number "three" appeared out of thin air in front of his palm, and then a humanoid figure wearing a strange mask and holding a scythe walked out from it.

Then, in its "Three Messengers" form, the raccoon dog went directly to Wuwei, who was being controlled by Minato. Before Minato could say anything, Wuwei tried to resist, but Minato and his shadow clone immediately pressed down on his shoulders and forced his head down.

The next moment, the three messengers' scythes came crashing down on his head!

To the other two Grass Ninja, a perfectly healthy head had fallen to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

Both the fat grass ninja and the withered grass ninja were startled, seemingly not expecting the Konoha ninja to be so ruthless.

And don't you know that most of the Konoha ninjas are peace-loving?

Ah, it's the evil Uchiha clan!

That's alright then.

Minato glanced at Akaishi with a hint of helplessness, but immediately said to the remaining two Kusanagi ninja, "Consider this a little interest—I'll keep this, and you and I will stay in the Valley of the End to accumulate the points you need to pay off your debt—is that alright?"

"Of course!"

"It's our honor!"

The two grass ninjas also realized what was going on.

This Konoha genin intends to use their scrolls to stay in the Valley of the End and intercept the other teams' signals!

As for why they need their reels?

It seems he was planning to split up with his companions.

Akaishi just understood Minato's look. Whether it's receiving points or transmitting points, it's indispensable; otherwise, 0 multiplied by any number is still 0!

However, the three were confident in their own and their companions' abilities, so they were able to split up and act separately.

But in this way—

Even if the person who intercepted the other team's code didn't have a scroll, simply "memorizing" the code wasn't safe. What if the other team later passed the code on to someone else?

Therefore, the prerequisite for splitting up is to snatch a scroll.

Furthermore, since this scroll cannot be used by others, at least one person from another team needs to cooperate with him.

However, at this point, Akaishi and Minato had slightly different ideas.

Minato felt that Muwei was more reliable, not only because he was more capable, but also because he was sensible. He hoped that Akaishi would seal the other two Kusagakure ninja, which would reduce the enemy's numbers and also deter Muwei.

But Akaishi felt that—

Inaction is actually more dangerous!

Akaishi suspects that Minato chose Muwei because he thought more highly of Muwei, and that since Muwei was not an enemy of the Grass Ninja, he was inclined to "promote" him.

However, Akaishi still felt that there was no need to take risks because of this "preference", so he summoned the Three Messengers - Tanuki Treasure, pretending to kill Wuwei to intimidate the other two Kusagakure ninja. After Minato understood Akaishi's meaning, he accepted Akaishi's choice without objection.
