Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 185 Yunyin Seal Research Institute

9 month 10 day.

"Dr. Tessai, I heard something. It seems that Kumogakure has already chosen the next Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Today I even saw A and that little brat coming back from the training ground together."

Akaishi has obtained new information.

Having grasped the principles of "Jinchūriki," Akaishi now had to admit that the Hidden Cloud Village was truly ruthless.

Konoha is also looking for Jinchuriki candidates, but the premise for choosing Kushina Uzumaki is that Mito is already very old and may die at any time!

However, Brubi is still a young man at the time —

He told Brubi that although the "updating and maintenance" of the seal was risky, the overall situation was positive and the seal would have a smaller impact on him in the future.

In fact, even the candidates have already been selected!

While it could be described as "just in case," it's like going into the operating room only to find that there are more people ready to have their organs harvested than the surgical staff.

"Is that so? Although it's not the key, but—Genta-kun, you should also pay attention to it in your daily life, and when the time comes to activate it, if there's an opportunity—" Orochimaru didn't say it directly.

However, Akaishi nodded knowingly.

Let's finish them all if we get the chance!

Of course, it's unrealistic to expect that the entire Hidden Cloud Village will be unable to find another ninja who can become a Jinchuriki.

The main purpose of this plan is to release the Eight-Tails to wreak havoc in Kumogakure and also to eliminate a mature Jinchūriki.

Instead of killing them to the point where they have no choice but to release the Eight-Tails—

The Yotsuki clan is also known for its physical prowess. If we relax the standards a bit, there are plenty of ninjas who meet the physical requirements!

The one I carefully selected must be perfect for me, both physically and mentally; if I can kill him, it's a win.

However, Orochimaru's energy still needs to be focused on Burubi, and the choice of the other little thing can only be left to Akaishi to decide.

"Dr. Tessai, can't you prescribe some slow-acting medicine? He looks small, probably around five years old. Maybe a growth promoter or something!" Akaishi felt that taking direct action was a bit risky.

After all, they would have to escape as soon as possible when Orochimaru's plan was launched, otherwise they would be in big trouble if they were caught by Kumogakure.

For some reason, the pharmacist standing to the side showed a slightly uneasy expression.

"No, Genta-kun, you still don't understand. Not only should you not give him any medicine, but you should also not make any further contact with him before you actually take action," Orochimaru reminded him.

The current Jinchūriki is receiving treatment at his place; it would be premature for him to make contact with the candidate Jinchūriki.

Even if they hadn't suspected them before, the Hidden Cloud Village would likely become wary.

"Alright—" Akaishi said regretfully.

Yakushi Nonou, standing to the side, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Akaishi glanced at her, sensing something, but said nothing.

"Genta-kun, tomorrow is Burubi's third treatment. You'll be going to the Sealing Research Institute too, right?" Orochimaru reminded him.

"Yes, but they probably won't teach me any specific sealing techniques, they'll just tell me about some sealing techniques related to healing," Akaishi nodded.

Kumogakure readily agreed to Tessai's request, allowing his assistant to study at the "Sealing Research Institute," a move that Akaishi likely contributed to.

"There's no need for specific sealing techniques. The nine sealing techniques of the Nine-Faced Suvaha are probably all stronger than the strongest sealing techniques mastered by the Hidden Cloud Village. As for the basic sealing techniques, you can go back and learn them if you really want to," Orochimaru said matter-of-factly.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village looted the Uzushio Village, the advanced sealing techniques they obtained were mainly informational; they did not acquire any advanced sealing techniques that could actually be learned immediately.

The reason I sent Akaishi to investigate matters related to sealing techniques was to find the weakness of the "Iron Armor Seal"—which has now been completely altered!

This success even gave Orochimaru a headache.

"Dr. Tessai, since their skill level is just so-so—" Akaishi didn't understand why Orochimaru insisted on gathering this kind of information himself.

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Sometimes a fool's sudden inspiration can be incomprehensible even to a smart person—do you understand, Akaishi-kun?"

Orochimaru made an exception and called Akaishi by his real name.

"Ah—yes, yes, yes! I often feel that way!" Akaishi immediately said confidently.

Orochimaru: ————

Judging from his tone, he was positioning himself as the smart one.

"Anyway, there's no harm in you going to learn. You don't need to be too careful. The people of Kumogakure never intended for us to return to the Land of the Sea in the first place," Orochimaru said, rubbing the corner of his eye.

After the three of them went about their respective tasks—

Akaishi then approached Orochimaru privately and said confidently, "Dr. Tessai, please keep a close eye on Shizuku lately. I'm worried—she might risk assassinating a Jinchūriki candidate!"

When the pharmacist mentioned that little brat, his expression was clearly different. Akaishi wasn't worried about her defecting to the enemy, but he was worried that her radical actions would ruin the plan and arouse suspicion from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Orochimaru: ————

"Okay, I understand." Orochimaru smiled slightly. He didn't think that Yakushi Nonou's reaction was because of this; it was because Akaishi's biased perspective was too strong!

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't seem to care much, Akaishi became even more worried and decided that he should keep a close eye on her.

Not long after Akaishi left, Yakushi Nonou also approached Orochimaru alone.

"Dr. Tessai, if Genta goes to the Sealing Research Institute, he must pretend that he knows nothing. If he reveals that he has a foundation in sealing techniques, Kumogakure will definitely become suspicious." The pharmacist was worried that Akaishi would do something stupid.

"Okay, I understand." Orochimaru smiled slightly. He didn't think Akaishi had any foundation in sealing techniques. At most, Akaishi only knew "Summoning Technique," which could only be considered an application and not a foundation at all!

Seeing Orochimaru say this, Yakushi finally felt relieved and left.

The next day, Akaishi arrived at the "Kumakushi Sealing Research Institute". In the ninja world, "sealing techniques" have always been a symbol of high-end and sophisticated techniques. Especially after the Tailed Beast Village was transformed, it made all the major ninja villages flock to it.

The Hidden Cloud Sealing Research Institute was also established twenty years ago.

The Sealing Research Institute is located in a remote corner of a mountain in Kumogakure. The interior of the mountain has been hollowed out and transformed, unlike the Psychological Medical Center. It is very well hidden and not easily noticed.

Here, Akaishi also saw Troy, which he had seen before.

That is, the ninja carrying a huge diamond-shaped shuriken when they were meeting at the border of the Land of Lightning. However, in Troy, he was not carrying such a large weapon and was wearing a researcher's white lab coat.

"Lord Troy?" Akaishi was surprised to see him here.

Troy nodded and said, "Come in with me—you're going to observe and learn here to support Brubi's treatment, right?"

"Yes, Dr. Tessai wants me to understand the principles of Jinchuriki," Akaishi said directly.

Upon hearing Genta's words, Troy couldn't help but smile—this wasn't something so easy to figure out.

Of course, Kumogakure was very satisfied with Tessai's medical results. In the past few days, from the Raikage to the village's high-ranking officials and the people at the Sealing Research Institute, everyone was very concerned about Brubi's condition.

According to Brubi, with the help of the medication, he hasn't had insomnia recently.

Even though they still frequently hear the Eight-Tails' seduction, they have begun to take it calmly. Of course, the Hidden Cloud Village has also checked those medicines, and there are no problems with them.

It seems that "Dr. Tessai" is indeed a master with genuine talent and skill.

"You said you had a foundation in sealing ninjutsu?" Troy asked curiously.

Genta, a wild chakra practitioner, is not theoretically a wandering ninja, but in terms of learning channels, he should be similar to wandering ninjas, namely those petty thugs and down-on-their-luck samurai.

They can only access some basic chakra extraction methods, and at most know some outdated ninjutsu. It would be considered good if they could learn D-rank ninjutsu.

"Sealing Techniques" are high-level and sophisticated techniques that are not something that wandering ninjas can access!

As for the other assistant, "Shizuku," she knows some basic medical ninjutsu. This is because the Land of the Sea is famous for its medical technology, so it is not surprising that some basic healing techniques are circulating among the people.

"Yes! I can use spirit communication!" Akashi said proudly.

Troy: ————

As expected, it was called the foundation of "sealing techniques," but in reality, it only meant being able to use sealing scrolls.

"Ha, that doesn't count as a sealing technique—but for you to learn to use a sealing scroll under such rudimentary circumstances, you might have some talent—are you fifteen years old?" Troy said, asking uncertainly.

Well, Akaishi's body is only twelve years old, but Genta's face is obviously much bigger, so Akaishi can only pretend to be a fifteen-year-old dwarf.

"I guess so, I'm an orphan," Akaishi said vaguely.

Troy didn't ask any further questions; orphans were all too common in the ninja world.

Troy then broke the seals on the gates and arrived at the depths of the research institute, in a secret area.

Along the way, Akaishi saw the curse mark on the door and couldn't help but look strange. It wasn't a very profound seal. Why was it showing off here?

Although Akashi himself didn't have much skill in "sealing techniques," he still gained some insight from Tanuki.

It now seems that the sealing ninja who was killed in Konoha while trying to kidnap Kushina was already at the top level in Kumogakure!

It wasn't that Kumogakure hadn't invested enough resources; it was that they simply didn't have any stronger sealing ninjas to break Konoha's barrier.

Here, Akaishi met the institute's other three key researchers: Togi, Katai, and Shizui.

Aside from Troy, the other three were middle-aged. Additionally, Sha Lieya and Gu Landuo from the Night Moon Clan, whom we had met before, were also in the research institute, holding managerial positions and responsible for giving instructions.

Wearing a researcher's white lab coat, bald, with thick-rimmed glasses, and a deeply wrinkled, old-fashioned look, Togi asked with a scrutinizing air, "Are you Genta, Dr. Tessai's assistant? I heard you have some basic knowledge of sealing techniques—sealing techniques are divided into two categories, could you explain them?"

Upon hearing this, Akaishi thought for a moment and then said, "Sealing the living—and sealing the dead?"
