Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 128 We have already forgiven the Second Hokage!

Chapter 130 We have already forgiven the Second Hokage!

In the training field, Might Guy sat to the side, panting heavily, while Akaishi and Hizashi were engaged in close-quarters combat.

Since it was a physical training exercise, Akaishi did not use "Mirror Clone" but instead fought Hizashi with his real body.

Kukuku—

bang bang bang—

clap clap-

After a fierce and exciting fight, the two retreated.

Unlike when he sparred with Might Guy, Akaishi and Hizashi were fighting each other in taijutsu, so they could go all out and fight. Not only did both of them use chakra, but they also both opened their eyes!

result----

Of course, Akaishi is at a slight disadvantage.

After all, the Hyuga clan is even more pure than the Inu clan; in direct combat, they only rely on taijutsu!

Akaishi was only slightly inferior, which made Hizashi serious. He realized that if they really fought, he would most likely not be Akaishi's opponent. His only chance of winning was to keep attacking until he successfully struck Akaishi's pressure points and did not give Akaishi a chance to use ninjutsu. That was quite an ideal scenario.

Hiashi hadn't expected that Akaishi had not only undergone extensive training in ninjutsu but also in taijutsu. Moreover, after his Sharingan was fully upgraded to level two, his dynamic vision became terrifying, giving him an unparalleled advantage in identifying weaknesses and opportunities.

"I didn't realize you'd really put in so much effort in taijutsu. No wonder you have the Sharingan," Hizashi remarked.

"Your eye rolls aren't bad either," Akaishi retorted.

It's really hard to say whether the Byakugan or the Sharingan is better at assisting in close combat.

The Byakugan's wide field of vision and chakra pathway detection, combined with Gentle Fist, are equally effective.

Beyond auxiliary physical techniques—

The Sharingan's ability to copy ninjutsu and amplify genjutsu makes the Uchiha clan less inclined towards close-combat taijutsu and more of an all-around ninja in battle.

From a team perspective, the Byakugan's long-range, X-ray vision is undoubtedly more advantageous—meaning that every member of the Hyuga clan who has activated the Byakugan is a "sensory ninja"!

"What a pity—" Hizashi shook his head regretfully upon hearing Akaishi's praise.

Akaishi didn't respond this time.

Indeed, the Hyuga clan's "Caged Bird" not only serves to control the branch family, but also has certain limitations on the effects of the Byakugan!

Furthermore, the Hyuga clan's main and branch family system not only controls the Caged Bird Seal but also restricts its inheritance. Not only is the signature "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" of Gentle Fist only learnable by the main family, but even—

The "Return to Heaven" technique, which can compensate for the perspective defects caused by the "Caged Bird" technique, can only be learned by the main family—a main family that "does not have a caged bird" can "compensate for the defects caused by the caged bird"—well, that's very scientific.

In comparison, the Uchiha clan was much better in this regard.

Hizashi keenly sensed that although Akaishi remained silent, he was—smug!

"Actually, being a caged bird isn't entirely without its advantages. What the elders talk to us about most often is that internal strife within your Uchiha clan," Hizashi retorted sullenly.

Hizashi couldn't stand Akaishi's smugness any longer, so he brought up a reason that he didn't really agree with.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi showed no sign of embarrassment.

"Although the internal strife within our Uchiha clan is terrifying, even though we experienced such infighting just ten years ago, I was immediately given a position within the clan after demonstrating my talent," Akaishi said, head held high.

Clearly, Akaishi didn't think that the Hyuga clan's use of the "Caged Bird Seal" to avoid internal strife was any kind of advantage.

"Furthermore, our Uchiha clan doesn't have the concept of a main family or branch family. The head of the clan has been changed more than ten times according to records," Akaishi said, adding another sentence.

The most recent instance was when Madara left Konoha more than thirty years ago.

That old man didn't even have a wife, and the lineage of the clan chief had also undergone changes at that time.

"So that means they've fought amongst themselves more than ten times?" Hizashi retorted.

Akashi shook his head and said, "No, although the internal strife in our Uchiha clan has a long history, the changes in the clan leader's lineage are not always accompanied by internal strife. Sometimes it is just a cycle of prosperity and decline."

Daily difference:————

"And you Hyuga clan, you always use us as a negative example? When have we Uchiha not been stronger than you Hyuga?" Akaishi retorted matter-of-factly.

Judging from the results alone, the Hyuga clan did not become stronger.

Akaishi then offered an explanation for them: "Of course, it's not all the fault of a caged bird—"

Hmm, isn't there also a problem with the seed itself?

Daily difference:————

Seeing that Akaishi was about to start a fight, Hizashi immediately fell silent. Moreover, Hizashi wasn't really going to advocate for the Hyuga clan's main family and branch family system, so of course he wouldn't argue with Akaishi about it.

Besides, what Akaishi said makes sense.

Even ten years ago, when the civil war had just ended, the Uchiha clan produced the "Uchiha Three Treasures," three top experts. The number of ninjas who had awakened the Sharingan was actually no less than before—and that's after removing those who had already gone blind!

"Sigh, you Uchiha clan—you really aren't afraid of internal strife in this respect," Hizashi remarked.

After all, for the Uchiha clan, the more fierce the battles, the more skilled individuals they will produce.

This leads to the Uchiha becoming stronger the weaker they are.

Seeing that he had "admitted defeat," Akaishi's tone softened: "You can't say that. Our Uchiha clan's Sharingan awakening also has weaknesses. If we're being used genjutsu while being slaughtered, the interference from the genjutsu will prevent us from awakening or advancing our Sharingan—luckily, our Uchiha clan is the most skilled in genjutsu, hahaha—"

In Akaishi's view, the Uchiha clan was indestructible.

Whether it's a civil war or a foreign war, the losses may be heavy, but the more we kill, the more likely our clansmen will gain new insights or even develop new abilities. It's impossible for them to be completely wiped out!

Daily difference:————

Seeing Akaishi's smug look, Hizashi even felt as if he were planting a flag for Akaishi.

"You're being a little too protective of your fan. After all—it's your weapon, isn't it?" Hizashi steered the conversation back to martial arts.

"After all, the Uchiha fan is mainly for reflecting ninjutsu—" Akaishi said, taking off his fan and touching it.

Moreover, there are only so many of these round fans; if one is wasted, there will be one less.

Hizashi shook his head and said, "Since it was made with great effort by the First Hokage, it certainly cannot be destroyed by ordinary Jonin taijutsu."

"Huh? How do you know it was made by the First Hokage?" Akaishi asked in surprise.

Daily difference:————

Hizashi gave him a strange look and said, "I heard from my family that the Uchiha clan kept arguing that the Uchiha fan was missing, and they even suspected that the Second Hokage took it, so—"

Akaishi:————

No wonder this matter isn't often mentioned among the Uchiha clan!

There were also some subtle differences between what the clan chief said and what he said.

That said, the cost was enormous, and they made one set every year, so it just so happened that it would last until Hashirama died.

Could there be a second part to the story of "dying young because of a battle with Madara"?

If he hadn't made these fans, would the First Hokage have lived a few more years?

"I see. Now, our Uchiha clan doesn't want to doubt the Second Hokage, so they don't tell us these things!" Akaishi said righteously.

Daily difference:————

Is there another way to explain it this way?

Of course, regardless of whether others have doubts, Akaishi truly has no doubts.

In the past, Akaishi might have hesitated, but now—

Akashi was 90% certain that since Madara Uchiha had faked his death, he had most likely taken the Uchiha Fan with him. He hadn't seen it when he was attacked during the exam, but that wasn't surprising, since Madara's physical condition didn't seem like he could still use taijutsu, so he naturally wouldn't have been able to use the "Uchiha Fan".

"Lord Akaishi! I'm almost fully recovered!" Might Guy was especially enthusiastic today and even came over to volunteer for battle.

I'm afraid there won't be enough red stone forging —

What if you lose to a ninja from another village on the fighting stage by just one move?

Against Might Guy, Akaishi was even more unrestrained. After all, neither of them used chakra, so how could he possibly break the First Hokage's wooden frame?

Might Guy's taijutsu style is completely different from that of the Hyuga clan.

Might Guy's style is quite common, and most taijutsu ninjas use it, while Hizashi's Gentle Fist belongs to the "piercing strike" category.

Of course, Akaishi mainly trained not in "counter-attack techniques," but in his own martial arts, only—

The two sparring partners are not skilled in ninjutsu; they don't even know C-rank large-scale ninjutsu!

After a day of practice, Akaishi treated the two to ramen for dinner.

"Should we invite Hiashi to join us?" Akaishi suddenly thought of something.

Richa paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "The elders are all very dissatisfied with him right now, at this time—"

Let's not call him.

"Um—" Akaishi hesitated.

Seeing the probing look in Hizashi's eyes, Akaishi continued, "You still have clan elders?"

Daily difference:————

It's not surprising that Akaishi was puzzled. He only knew that apart from the head of the Hyuga clan and the head's successor, the rest of the clan were branch families, and the branch families were subject to enslavement—and there were clan elders too.

"Of course! Even when the family splits up, there are still clan elders!" Hizashi said irritably.

However, these branch families had also become quite accustomed to this situation. When they saw Hijiri advance while Hiashi was eliminated, their first reaction was actually to cripple Hijiri.

However, the proposal was rejected by the head of the family.

However, the head of the family also forbade anyone from teaching Hyuga Hizashi anything further.

At this moment, Hizashi looked at Akaishi's surprised expression and felt that he was not very polite.

For the next three days, Akaishi practiced his taijutsu and immersed himself in the drama sponsored by the "game", using the game as an opportunity to solidify a "combination ninjutsu".

Because of the second Hyuga foot massage package, plus the cost of buying lives in the game while training "Mirror Clone Technique," Akaishi's wallet in the immersion system is almost empty, and he can only slowly grind for gold.

Fortunately, it was finally completely copied by Akaishi before the final exam!

In this way, Akaishi was fully prepared for the final exam.

August 1st, early morning, Konoha Arena.

The twenty-four finalists are already ready in the lounge. Since the order of their performance is undetermined and they can choose for themselves, the lounge is located below the audience seating area surrounding the venue.
