RNP Chapter 30 Ordering
Chapter 30 Ordering
"Why are you here? Could it be... a mission from the cat ninja tool shop?" Akaishi looked at Inuzuka Tsurugi in front of him and suddenly realized something.
Inuzuka Tsurugi: ...
When Inuzuka Tsuru saw Akaishi's expression, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, before she could speak, Akaishi immediately asked, "You're still doing D-rank missions? I'm so envious of you guys, you still have these easy missions to do. Our team usually does C-rank missions."
Indeed, other newly graduated ninja squads have only done one or two C-rank missions at most, and some haven't even done a C-rank mission at all.
Woof woof—
The blue-backed ninja dog that Claw was riding barked a few times at Akaishi.
"What does it bark like a dog?" Akaishi asked curiously.
"Kuromaru said... he misses you and wants to spar with you!" Inuzuka Tsuru said with a slight smile through gritted teeth.
"Really? That's not impossible... After you finish your mission tonight, how about we go to the Sixth Training Ground for a sparring match?" Akashi's eyes lit up, and fearing she might disagree, he added, "Just a physical sparring match!"
Inuzuka Tsurugi's eyes lit up upon hearing this—it would be great to beat this guy up. Back in school, Akaishi was never a match for her, but after he opened his eyes at the graduation ceremony, he got cocky...
If it were an unrestricted sparring match, Inuzuka Tsuru would still be somewhat wary of the Sharingan's ninjutsu and genjutsu abilities, but if it were just taijutsu, she wouldn't be sleepy at all!
"One word is enough... um? You don't just want free sparring, do you?" Inuzuka Tsuru suddenly realized.
That's right, Akaishi is really looking forward to sparring with his partner.
Akaishi has already copied the first stage of the Uchiha Fluid Technique. Fugaku also reminded Akaishi that what he needs now in terms of taijutsu is practical combat training.
However, it's difficult to find a suitable target for this training within the clan—after all, they all use the same set of physical techniques, focusing on "parrying" and "dodge parrying." When sparring, neither of them makes the first move, and they can only manage a few exchanges even after an entire afternoon of sparring...
"Of course not!" Akaishi immediately denied.
"Oh?" Inuzuka Tsuru stared at Akaishi, his nostrils twitching as if to say, "I smell a lie," but then he revealed his fangs... no, his canine teeth, and sneered, "Whatever, the loser treats Ichiraku Ramen. I'm itching to try it myself!"
Inuzuka Tsurugi was planning to find an opportunity to beat him up first.
"It's a deal!" Akaishi said immediately.
If you want a sparring partner, you either need to hire someone or pay someone to help you.
Akashi had asked Minato for help before, and Minato was willing to help. However, Minato's physical skills are now much better than Akashi's. Akashi's inexplicable competitive spirit makes him unwilling to spar with Minato again if he has no chance of winning.
Lanwu's physical skills were too weak—before she could truly master them, Lanwu had been forbidden from using "super strength." Under these circumstances, Lanwu's physical skills were simply not up to par in Akaishi's eyes.
After losing to Akashi several times, Lanwu stopped sparring with him in physical combat.
However, Akaishi is currently short of money if he wants to hire someone.
As for the reason for being short of money...
"By the way, your stuff... did you find money here?" Inuzuka Tsuru said, taking out the things that Akaishi had ordered from the cat ninja tool shop.
Then Inuzuka Tsuru pulled out a sealing scroll—not the one she sealed, but one that the ninja tool shop had sealed.
After Akaishi took it, he bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint on it to sign for receipt, and the sealed contents were automatically released.
There was a complete set of kunai, shuriken, and the "Fūma Shuriken," a weapon favored by the Uchiha clan and as large as a cartwheel, as well as a beautifully crafted short sword...
"The standard ones aren't good enough, so you insist on custom-made ones? Custom-made ones must cost 300,000 yen, right? The Uchiha clan is really rich." Inuzuka Tsuru said with a hint of envy when he saw these.
When Inuzuka Tsurugi saw the sealing scroll, he knew that Akaishi must have bought a lot of them. Judging from the model of the shuriken, it must have been custom-made.
"Of course not! I need to practice the shuriken technique of our Uchiha clan. The secret of our Uchiha clan's shuriken technique is to ensure that the diameter of the hole in the middle is just right. When I can wield this wheel-sized Fuma shuriken with ease, that will be when I've mastered it!"
"Ikashi said proudly."
Inuzuka Tsurugi wasn't interested in his shuriken-wielding skills; he just urged him to complete the signing.
"And this is money I saved myself! You know, it's a C-rank mission, right?" Akaishi said arrogantly.
Inuzuka Tsurugi: ...
I didn't need to bring this up!
As for the money to buy the ninja tool set, it was indeed 3 taels that Akashi had saved up by working hard on missions for a month and a half... plus 27 taels of subsidies from the clan.
The Uchiha clan certainly wasn't wealthy enough to allow ordinary clan members to live off others' wealth or indulge in unrestrained enjoyment. However, after Akaishi demonstrated his talent, the clan's treatment of him improved significantly. After he began training in shurikenjutsu, the clan immediately allocated him 30 ryo for ninja tools.
After signing for the delivered goods and agreeing to meet Inuzuka Tsurugi at the training ground that evening, Akaishi returned to his residence within the clan compound, preparing to finish the last three hours of "Family Happiness"...
In addition to immersing himself in the storyline, Akaishi also carefully used emotional fluctuations to stimulate changes in Fire Release chakra.
Previously, Akaishi told Ranma that "chakra nature transformation is not difficult," which was obviously said on purpose.
In fact, even for the Uchiha clan, this is not simple!
After occasionally encountering the "physical examination device," Akaishi can accurately judge his progress in chakra transformation training, which makes him even more aware of its difficulty.
The most crucial point is not how slow the progress is—in fact, since we are still in the beginner stage, the progress is not slow.
The main difficulty lies in...
Akaishi discovered that, regardless of the type of change, it seems that only when breaking through the three thresholds of 1%, 3%, and 10% will there be a significant impact on the effectiveness of his own chakra usage!
As for the differences between nodes, even between 3.01% and 9.99%, there is almost no discernible difference...
At this point, the red stone's "scorching" exceeded 10%, "burning" reached 9.56%, "overburning" reached 3.71%, and "fiery" was less than 1%... Therefore, these three nodes are clearly known. As for the nodes above them, they have not yet been tested.
It is conceivable that, unless one can "measure precisely" like Akaishi, ordinary ninjas would easily fall into the predicament of "not seeing any progress" in their training in this area.
In addition, Akashi could also sense that with each milestone, improvement would become more difficult, making it a training path that could drive ordinary ninjas to despair.
Aside from the changes in chakra, what Akaishi gained most from "immersion" was undoubtedly the enhancement of his eye power.
Other members of the Uchiha clan would likely also rarely have the opportunity to experience such a high frequency of emotional stimulation...
