Uchiha Akaishi Tour

April 30th marks a month and a half since Akaishi graduated.

It has been more than a month since I returned from the Flower Capital. In the past month and a half, Akaishi has completed a total of 6 C-rank missions and 6 D-rank missions.

There are 6 C-level missions because there is only enough time to complete 6, and 6 D-level missions because only 6 can be done—Konoha only allows each team to accept one D-level mission per week.

Although newly appointed genin were an exception, Jiraiya clearly did not consider them as "newly appointed".

From a purely money-making perspective, D-level missions are simple, safe, and quick to complete, making them more cost-effective than C-level missions and even some B-level missions.

Therefore, it can be considered as "basic living allowance"...

Generally, ninjas after the Chunin level will not take on D-rank missions unless they are mentoring students or are occasionally short of money.

Of course, there are also some unusual ninjas, such as someone who frequents casinos and has hundreds of D-rank mission records on their ninja card...

Today is a good day for Akaishi.

Firstly, today is the first time that Akashi has attended the clan's monthly meeting; secondly, it is also the day that Akashi is preparing to finish reading "Family Happiness".

……

Inside the Naka Shrine, the Uchiha clan is holding their monthly gathering.

As a genin, Akaishi is now eligible to participate...

At the end of March, Chishi was unable to return because he was on a C-level mission outside. This month was his first time participating, and Chief Jiancheng first formally introduced Chishi.

"This is Akaishi's first time attending the clan's regular meeting. Although he just graduated, he has already awakened the Sharingan, and the Jonin leading the team is Jiraiya. He has already started carrying out C-rank missions. He was away from the village just last month..." Kensuke enthusiastically introduced Akaishi.

The main reason is that he has already awakened his Sharingan, and the clansmen are very enthusiastic about Akashi, hoping that he can become a backbone force in the future of the Uchiha clan.

Because the other Uchiha genin who were newly recruited were introduced last month, it was only Akaishi this month, so it was a bit of a grand affair, and Akaishi was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, out of concern for Chishi's protection and training, Jiancheng and Lanyu did not deliberately promote his "talent". Therefore, everyone just regarded him as an ordinary person with talent. Among the ordinary clansmen, apart from Fugaku and Yatsushiro who had more contact with him, no one really regarded him as a "genius".

After offering some words of encouragement, Chief Jiancheng said, "Alright, Chishi, you can go now and listen carefully to the contents of the meeting!"

Then the formal part of the meeting began. First, everyone reported which clansmen had made breakthroughs in strength this month. The most eye-catching ones were naturally the clansmen who opened their Sharingan and evolved to the second level. Unfortunately, there were still no clansmen who evolved their Sharingan to the third level this month.

However, everyone kept their excitement to themselves. It was an unwritten rule within the clan not to directly congratulate a clansman on opening their eyes, but to express their relief that someone had opened their eyes in the aftermath.

After all, the awakening of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is often accompanied by personal grief and anger—it's extremely rare for someone to be so happy that they awaken their Sharingan and undergo a transformation.

Then began the important part of the clan chief's speech...

"Regarding the new secret organization that Shimura Danzo secretly established, I applied to the Third Hokage at the Jonin meeting last week. I requested that its functions be made public to the Jonin and its list be made public to all the major ninja clans. Now I have received a reply... but they refuse!" Clan Chief Kensuke said forcefully, slamming his fist on the table in anger.

"What? You still need to keep it a secret? Isn't having the secret service enough?"

"This Shimura Danzo has always been at odds with our Uchiha clan; I'm afraid he's here with ill intentions!"

"Indeed, back when the Second Hokage was alive, it was mostly this person who slandered him..."

"What did Kagami say? Why didn't he become Hokage's assistant?"

When the clansmen heard this, they all discussed it amongst themselves, clearly harboring great resentment.

Thus, the meeting got down to business—criticizing the third generation of the Daimyo family and Danzo…

It's no wonder the Uchiha clan members were dissatisfied.

When the First Hokage was in power, the functions of the police force were much greater than they are now.

The second generation established the Dark Unit, taking away a large portion of the power that originally belonged to the police force. Now, the third generation has actually established another secret department outside of the Dark Unit...

Akashi, who was in the corner, looked at the scene in front of him with a strange expression.

He had initially thought that the clan meeting would be more serious and that more important matters would be discussed, but it seems...

"Are you not used to it yet? Actually, we're all family. We're usually very relaxed during meetings, so there's no need to overthink it," Fugaku said to Akaishi, displaying his high emotional intelligence.

"Indeed...it feels very familiar." Akaishi suddenly realized that the clan's routine meetings were just like this.

Yes, this isn't being petty; it's being "friendly."

"After the meeting, should we copy a few more Lightning Release ninjutsu?" Fugaku asked.

Fugaku has now gotten used to Akaishi's stronger eye power recovery ability than that of the average clansman...

Normally, once the Uchiha clan awakens their Sharingan, with the help of their clansmen, they can replicate everything that needs to be replicated within a month.

but……

Although Akashi recovers quickly and efficiently, he not only has three chakra transformations, but he has also spent most of the past month and a half away from the village. Therefore, Akashi has only completed the replication of Fire Release, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. Lightning Release and Earth Release are still some progress behind.

"Let's skip tonight, I need to rest too," Akaishi declined Fugaku's offer.

"Yes, it's good for him to rest." Fugaku was always worried that Akaishi was overworking.

However, Akaishi wasn't actually going to rest tonight...

It's for the last three hours of "Family Happiness"!

The 180-hour drama "A Happy Family" is finally going to be completely redeemed by Akaishi.

In the past month and a half, although Akaishi's ninjutsu replication was not completed as scheduled, his chakra growth was basically complete. He has now grown to the level of a normal Chunin and has basically stopped growing at a high speed.

Because he uses the time difference to practice chakra control during his "immersion" sessions, Akaishi basically does not experience the side effect of decreased control after a surge in chakra, and always maintains proper control over his increased chakra.

In terms of chakra transformation, Akaishi finally pushed the "scorching" of Fire Release chakra transformation to 10% in the past two days, further improving the temperature of Fire Release!

Both "Incineration" (difficulty in extinguishing) and "Cover-up" (range) have been increased.

……

Akaishi, Fugaku, and Yatsushiro, as the younger generation, barely spoke during the meeting. They only chimed in with a few words like "What are you eating?" when a clansman announced a wedding or invited everyone to the wedding banquet. They were basically slacking off from beginning to end...

After the meeting, although Akaishi's eye power was quite abundant, he surprisingly did not try to copy the ninjutsu. Instead, he prepared to return to his residence and begin to "immerse" himself in it.

However, on his way back to his clan's territory, Akashi happened to see a girl riding a dog with red battle markings painted on her face. She looked very impatient and, upon seeing him, immediately rode her dog over and blocked his path.

"Hmm? Tsuru, is something wrong?" Akaishi recognized him as Tsuru Inuzuka, a classmate from the Ninja Academy.

Back in the Ninja Academy, Tsurugi, from the Inuzuka clan, was a consistently top-ten student. If Akaishi didn't consider his own "fan" (a type of magical ability), he could only look up to him. However, after awakening his Sharingan, Akaishi didn't exactly become arrogant; rather, he looked down on everyone else...

"Of course I have something to do! Since you made an appointment to come over, don't go out!" Inuzuka Tsuru said impatiently.

what……

Right, Akaishi remembered that he did indeed have a home delivery appointment today...
