RNP Chapter 85 A Premeditated Crime
Chapter 85 A Premeditated Crime
"Therefore... the most important thing for a ninja is caution!"
"I told you, even a B-rank mission can be deadly if you're not careful, right?"
"Akaishi! After this mission, in addition to the report, you'll submit a letter of self-reflection!"
After Akaishi woke up, he was scolded by Jiraiya.
Regarding this...
Akaishi could only awkwardly accept that he had indeed made a huge blunder.
However, Akaishi still couldn't understand what happened before he fell into a coma, and this made him uneasy...
"Could it be that the immersion system has malfunctioned and is suddenly taking over my life?"
"Something doesn't seem right..."
"It feels completely different, much more immersive than the immersion system..."
"And I think I even saw some Uchiha clansmen?"
Akaishi wondered to himself that the feeling was similar to when he was immersed in a short drama, where he "threw" himself onto other people and felt their emotions, but it was also different.
After being reprimanded by Jiraiya, the ship arrived.
After boarding the boat, Akaishi saw Lanwu and went up to her to express his gratitude: "Thank you so much, you saved me in the water, right?"
In the end, Akaishi vaguely saw white hair and red eyes.
Unexpectedly, Lan Wu glared at him angrily and said, "Next time, I'll let you drown!"
Akaashi:? ? ?
It can't be that cruel...
"Sorry... I didn't expect the vortex to be so powerful..." Akaishi said awkwardly.
At that point, it wasn't a matter of "great strength," but rather that for some unknown reason, Akaishi's eye power suddenly stopped working.
Because it was still impossible to rule out the possibility that it was due to the "curse of the Demon God," Akaishi did not mention it to anyone else.
……
On June 5th, they returned to Konoha safely.
After submitting the mission items, the members of Class 7 went home to rest, while Jiraiya went to submit the mission report.
After all, it's only a B-rank mission, so there's no need to report to the Hokage.
but……
Jiraiya never expected that he would be approached by the Anbu while he was out gathering material that afternoon.
Jiraiya: ...
"So that's how it is, it's a women's bathhouse... I thought it was a base for Sunagakure spies." Jiraiya muttered to himself seriously after noticing the approaching Anbu.
Anbu ninja:......
"Jiraiya, the Hokage requests your presence," the Anbu ninja announced.
So they weren't here to arrest me!
I always said it wasn't worth sending out the secret service for something like this...
As for why the Anbu ninjas were able to find Jiraiya?
Jiraiya felt a pang of envy when he thought of the Third Hokage's special ninja tool, the crystal ball.
However, Jiraiya really couldn't guess why his teacher wanted to talk to him at this time.
Upon arriving at the Third Hokage's office, Jiraiya found only Danzo present besides his teacher, so he immediately asked, "Teacher, you wanted to see me?"
Although Jiraiya disliked Danzo, Danzo was, after all, his teacher's closest comrade-in-arms. When Danzo was present and it was not a formal occasion, Jiraiya did not address him as "Lord Hokage" in a distant manner.
"Yes, Jiraiya, what happened to Akaishi... in danger?" Sarutobi asked.
"Huh?" Jiraiya was taken aback when he heard this—was this really that important?
It was indeed written in the report, but that was because Jiraiya wanted Akaishi to learn his lesson and made him write a "letter of self-criticism".
"Tell me the truth!" Danzo urged.
Jiraiya frowned, realizing that things were not simple, so he began to explain in a straightforward manner.
……
"I see. He was too competitive when he competed against Lanmai and Kushina... This kid." Sarutobi said, shaking his head and smiling.
"That's not necessarily true..." Danzo said with a straight face.
"It's all thanks to Ranmai being there; I've already criticized him!" Jiraiya emphasized.
Although he didn't know what had happened, Jiraiya could tell from the tone of the conversation that it seemed like Shimura Danzo suspected his student of deliberately falling into the water.
Therefore, Jiraiya also emphasized that Akaishi really almost drowned!
Before Danzo could say anything more, Sarutobi interrupted him, saying, "Alright, Jiraiya, you should go back now... From now on, teach your three students well; they are the future of Konoha."
"Yes..." Jiraiya had no idea why he had been summoned.
What kind of trickery could there be in the matter of Akaishi drowning?
After Jiraiya left, Danzo immediately said, "This must be an Uchiha conspiracy!"
Sarutobi frowned and asked, "What conspiracy?"
"They want to break the seal from the Warring States period..." Danzo said, then continued, "They're testing whether 'Nameless' is sealed within the Uzumaki clan's territory!"
That's right, there is a seal in the whirlpool sea area.
That happened during the Warring States period...
At that time, a very terrifying "weapon" appeared in the Uchiha clan—an Uchiha ninja who awakened a terrifying eye technique. In addition, the Uchiha clan transplanted many eye techniques into her and trained her to be a "weapon".
Later, under the siege of several other major clans, they finally defeated the Uchiha clan and sealed that "weapon".
At that time, the Senju and Sarutobi clans were the leaders, while the Uzumaki clan carried out the sealing.
This matter is from a very long time ago, even longer than Sarutobi's grandfather, and originally Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know about it.
However, among the secret scrolls of Konoha, there is a book called "The History of the Sealing of the Warring States Period," which records this history. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura only read this secret scroll after they became Hokage or Hokage's assistants.
Upon seeing the mission report, Danzo immediately began to speculate about a conspiracy.
Danzo himself realized something was wrong halfway through his story...
If the Uchiha clan's goal was to break the seal, wouldn't it have been simpler to have Akashi secretly summon the raccoon beast and break the seal? So they changed their story and said it was a "test."
Sarutobi then exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Testing? Ha... Why make it so deliberate to drown in front of everyone?"
He could easily see that Danzo's accusations against the Uchiha were simply a case of "wanting to find fault, one can always find a pretext."
"Even if they didn't know before, they might suspect it later!" Danzo dropped the pretense and said directly, "The Uzumaki clan's ninja beasts, falling into the hands of the Uchiha, are a threat. Even if Konoha doesn't have them, it's better than having them in the hands of the Uchiha..."
"Shut up!" Sarutobi slammed his pipe on the table, then stared at him and said, "How could the Uchiha possibly know the location of the seal? Besides, so much time has passed, the sealed Uchiha is probably already dead from old age." Sarutobi shook his head as he spoke.
If there were any signs that the Uchiha were actively pushing things, Sarutobi would certainly have doubts—the seal might have been able to stop the Uchiha within from aging.
But right now Danzo is just causing trouble for no reason, so Sarutobi doesn't really want to bother with him.
However, after leaving, Danzo became angrier and angrier—that damned monkey, he was completely unprepared for the Uchiha clan... is he still his teacher's disciple?
This can't go on, otherwise Konoha will be in who knows what the evil Uchiha clan will do to it!
Is there really no chance this time...?
and many more!
What if... the Uchiha clan finds out about this seal?
Danzo's eyes flickered...
