Uchiha Akaishi Tour

At this moment, in Akaishi's eyes, most of the masks in Namendo revealed their "value".

After all, Akaishi had touched every "ownerless item" in order to "determine ownership".

At a glance, Chi Shi noticed that most of them had around four or five hundred points, with the highest being very low and a few extremely low!

This is different from what Akaishi had imagined...

Akashi originally thought that since these masks represented different "sealing techniques", the difference between them should be huge and there shouldn't be many top-level ones.

However, it seems that most of them are only four or five hundred.

"Could it be... that for the Immersive Demon God, the craftsmanship value is actually more important?" At this moment, Akaishi also noticed that some of the cheaper ones had some cracks and damage.

There are too few examples right now, so Akaishi can't be sure yet. He just chose one mask from the ones with a buyback price of "500".

"Ancestors of the Uzumaki clan, we were relatives too. Now that you're gone, these things are just sitting there... It was all the people of Kumogakure who harmed you. When I, Uchiha Akashi, have mastered ninjutsu, I will definitely kill more Kumogakure to avenge you..." Akashi muttered to himself.

Because Akaishi chose a short drama this time, although it is not long in itself, GG is a time-consuming trial, so it is not as fast as I imagined to finish watching it.

In addition, Lanwu often practiced with Chishi, so it took her three whole days to finish watching.

According to Akaishi's original plan, he should have finished watching both parts by now...

However, Akaishi is no longer in a hurry.

Originally, it was to get more "Liuliu" opportunities so that there wouldn't be enough for Raccoon to consume. Now Raccoon's condition has stabilized. Although he sleeps more, he can eat by himself.

During this period, Chishi fed it "Big Red Mouth" eight times. Each time it received "Big Red Mouth," it would remove a mask. Now it has removed eight masks in total.

After the human and the raccoon were able to communicate, Akaishi asked the raccoon how much more it needed to recover, and thus learned...

The raccoon is a "Nine-Faced Supo Raccoon," a very special type among the ninja raccoons of the Uzumaki clan, capable of carrying nine masks.

(This refers to the "Nine-Faced Subhakara" summoned by Uzumaki Menma in the movie "Road to Ninja". Here, it is set as a mask found in the Uzumaki clan, filled with the power of the Nine-Tails, and now it happens to be found by Akaishi... Although it is not good to explain it with narration, since many readers may not have seen the movie, I will explain it here.)

The raccoon now has eight masks on its back: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Sky Serpent, Southern Dipper Immortal, Northern Dipper Immortal, and Three Platforms Messenger. It only needs the last Heavenly Maiden mask to be fully restored.

After that, it wouldn't be necessary to absorb [Great Crimson Mouth] again...

Of course, it would be even better if it were available.

However, for Akaishi, once he knew for sure that he had enough, he naturally didn't feel as anxious as before.

Just then, the raccoon dog woke up.

"You should be grateful you met me!" Akaishi said, rubbing its head.

The raccoon's face was distorted from being rubbed, and it could only stare blankly at the red stone.

Akashi was naturally at ease—if it weren't for the "Great Red Mouth" that happened to be there, the previous situation with the raccoon would have been stable only with an almost unlimited supply of chakra.

The issue is……

Where can you find someone with so much chakra who can also transfer chakra to others?

After the ninth "Big Red Mouth," Raccoon Baby was once again full of energy. Facing the final "Celestial Maiden" mask, Raccoon Baby let out a high-pitched cry, and finally, the ninth mask landed on Raccoon Baby's back.

With five beasts, four people, and nine masks on his back, the raccoon dog looked quite "imposing".

at the same time……

Lanwu was on the south bank when she saw a boat coming. She thought it was the boat that Jiraiya and the others had found, so she hurried over.

However, Minato stopped her in time.

"Wait a minute, this ship... something's not right. It's not the style of the Land of Fire, and it's not flying the flag of the Land of Waves. Let's check the situation first." Minato keenly noticed the abnormality.

Lan Wu nodded in agreement, and the two of them retreated to the woods on the shore.

When the large ship docked, Lanwu also realized something was wrong.

If this ship was hired by Jiraiya to pick up the three of them, it's far too big.

But if not...

Ordinary merchant ships would never approach the Land of Whirlpools!

The tragedy of the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Whirlpools had just occurred, and the Land of Fire had already designated this place as a forbidden area.

Furthermore, since we've already arrived in the Land of Whirlpools, we're already very close to the port of the Land of Fire, so there's no need to stop here.

At this moment, some people disembarked from the large ship, which attracted the attention of Lanwu and Minato even more. Judging from their skills, some of them were clearly not ordinary people, and the leaders could even be vaguely seen wearing ninja headbands.

Just then...

A figure wearing a straw hat suddenly twitched the hat, seemingly looking over. Minato, seeing this, quickly whispered, "Don't look!"

Without his prompting, Lan Wu had already averted her gaze—his strength was considerable… especially in terms of perception or Yin Release, one would be exceptionally sensitive to “gaze” or even “malice.” This guy in the straw hat was no ordinary person.

"Let's retreat first," Minato whispered.

Lan Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The two then retreated even further into the forest...

The man in the straw hat looked at the spot where the two had just stopped, frowned, but didn't find anything—the distance between them was already quite far, just enough to see their figures from a distance.

Now that he was completely out of sight, Minato squatted down, lowered his right hand, and touched the ground with his five fingers.

"This is..." Lan Wu's gaze froze for a moment, then she realized that it was not good to disturb Minato at the moment, so she quickly shut up.

Lan Wu recognized Minato's technique as "Thousand Realms Awakening Technique"—a ninjutsu that allows one to place their hand on the ground and use the earth as a medium to sense chakra and "waves" over an extremely long distance!

after all……

Although Lanwu doesn't have much talent for sensory ninjas, the "Thousand Realms Awakening Technique" itself is a sensory ninjutsu developed by her grandfather.

Previously, when being pursued by the Gold and Silver Brothers and their special forces, the Second Hokage determined the number and approximate strength of his pursuers simply by touching the ground with his finger. Furthermore…

Although the Second Hokage didn't say it, members of the personal guard, including Sarutobi, suspected that the Second Hokage had already sensed that there were Yotsuki clan pursuers behind the Gold and Silver Squads.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a student of the Second Hokage, and Jiraiya was a student of the Third Hokage. It's normal that Jiraiya knew the "Thousand Realms Awakening Technique." However, Lan Wu didn't expect that Jiraiya would teach Minato sensory ninjutsu, and that it would be so difficult right from the start!

and……

It seems the water gates are now operational?

"Something's definitely not right. Among the people who just disembarked, three have chakra levels that are at the average level of a Jonin, the strongest of whom is stronger than an ordinary Jonin, and there are more than a dozen others who have reached the average level of a Chunin..." Minato said in a deep voice.

The "level" that Minato mentioned only refers to the amount of chakra, not actual combat power. This is also a specialty of the "Thousand Worlds Awakening Technique".

"Can you hear me?" Lan Wu asked quickly.

The Second Hokage's "Thousand Worlds Awakening Technique" can theoretically sense "waves," which is reflected in the amount of chakra. Theoretically, it can also sense sound waves, but it requires a certain level of skill.

"I'll give it a try," Minato said earnestly, though he wasn't sure he was sure.
