Chapter 82 Worship and Sparring
Kushina Uzumaki, in order to pay respects to her clansmen, also came to the original site of the Land of Whirlpools with Team 7.
When they arrived at Namendo again, whether it was sensing Akaishi or Kushina, the raccoon dog took the initiative to break the seal, causing Namendo to reappear.
Afterwards, everyone accompanied Kushina to pay respects to the Uzumaki clan once again.
On the way, Akaishi specifically watched the ending of a short drama...
I originally planned to steal two more masks here and make 1000 taels, but after the clown picked out a few masks for Kushina Uzumaki, he hid the Namendo.
"This... should be the seal of the Uzumaki clan. I'll go back and ask Grandma Mito to take a look," said Kushina Uzumaki, holding several masks.
Seeing that the raccoon was "protecting its food," Akashi had no choice but to give the "Liuliu" chance to a small sculpture that night—which Akashi had bought with the commission from a previous A-level mission.
Previously, when he was making "The Swapped Master," Akaishi bought some handicrafts in order to summarize the patterns.
It turned out that when recycling, the "craft value" was indeed more important. Therefore, Chishi carried some handicrafts with him in a "sealing scroll" to feed "Liuliu".
The average price of these handicrafts from Liuliu Recycling is around 300 taels, which is much lower than the price of the Uzumaki clan's masks. The purchase price of the red stones is around 100,000 taels—which is much more cost-effective than recycling ninja tools!
The next seven days were also very fulfilling for Akashi.
The mission has a time limit of half a month, but there is also travel time, so the time limit for collecting resources is basically only seven days.
Over seven days, Chishi and Hebao worked together to break open the seals one by one—most of which were mineral deposits from Whirlpool Mountain.
At first, only Akaishi and Mujina were making moves, but later Kushina Uzumaki also became eager to try and began to practice the results of her sealing technique training, and also broke some seals.
Seven days is more than enough time, so Jiraiya specifically asked Minato to train his "sensory ninjutsu". After he found it, Akaishi and Kushina went to unlock it.
Only one or two seals need to be broken each day...
The reason why it is described as fulfilling is because of the training progress of Team 7 and Kushina!
Only Lan Wu has fallen behind in her medical ninjutsu training because she can only practice with live fish here, and there is no one to guide her.
Watching Lanwu laboriously "rub" out a little bit of light green chakra and cover the sea fish, Akashi felt a little envious.
However, the Uchiha clan could only envy medical ninjutsu...
Medical ninjutsu is an advanced application of Yang Release chakra, which greatly tests one's ability to manipulate and transform chakra!
Even without the talent for Yin Release chakra transformation, one can still use some low-requirement genjutsu, but without the talent for Yang Release chakra transformation, one cannot even learn the most basic medical ninjutsu.
The Yang Release talent and the talent for subtle chakra manipulation are both indispensable for medical ninjas.
The Uchiha clan has always lacked the talent for Yang Release, which may be why the Uchiha clan harbors such resentment towards medical ninjas.
"Hmm, the seafood is even fresher today!" Akaishi praised Lanwu while grilling the fish.
"Really? Can you try it?" Lan Wu felt that he was being sarcastic.
That's right, Lanwu can't save the fish's life right now; she can only... keep the fish fresh!
"Okay, shall we try practicing some taijutsu together later?" Akaishi felt that his basic training had been saturated recently, and he could now unleash his full power in a simulated combat.
"Then hurry up and eat... By the way, did I tell you that I can already use a little bit of superhuman strength?" Lan Wu reminded her with a creepy smile.
"Huh?" Akashi was taken aback when he heard this—"Super Strength" was too dangerous for Lanwu before, so she definitely wouldn't use it during the sparring session.
But how could Akaishi possibly back down at this point?
"Then you'd better be careful not to hurt yourself. I won't let you practice both taijutsu and medical ninjutsu at the same time!" Akaishi said threateningly.
Jiraiya: ? ? ?
Jiraiya looked at Akaishi carefully, sensing that there was something more to his words, but...
After realizing he had let something slip, Akaishi kept a straight face and didn't give himself away at all—a ninja must be good at disguising himself!
After the meal, Akaishi and Ranmai had a practice session, which Jiraiya watched from the side.
Because the two agreed that they would not use large-scale ninjutsu or genjutsu, but would go all out in taijutsu, Jiraiya needed to keep an eye on things.
"Water Release: Water Whip!" Lan Wu immediately swung her whip. This kind of ninjutsu that is combined with taijutsu is of course not prohibited.
For most ninjas, the significance of taijutsu lies in conserving chakra, enduring prolonged battles, and preserving trump cards. Supporting ninjutsu used for this purpose can be employed.
"Sharingan, activate!" Akaishi also activated his Sharingan and went all out.
Lan Wu knew that since it was a physical duel, Chi Shi would definitely not make the first move, so she rushed forward herself.
"Hmm? Is Lanwu holding back? Why didn't she use the Mist Concealment Technique?" Kushina asked疑惑地.
"Ranma's Hidden Mist Technique is not yet able to block the vision of Akashi's Sharingan at close to medium range. This is a taijutsu duel, and interference at long range is not very effective," Minato explained.
In theory, the "Hidden Mist Technique" could potentially completely conceal the "Sharingan," but that depends on whose "Hidden Mist Technique" it is and whose "Sharingan" it is.
Lan Wu is quite skilled in the variations of "Water Release," but her main focus is on the changes in the nature of fluids. In terms of "Hidden Mist Technique," her "Hidden Mist Technique" is very tenacious and not easily covered up, but its effect on blocking and sealing chakra is only average.
Just like how, although Akaishi's Fire Release technique is very strong, it hasn't made much progress in terms of adhesion...
Since she couldn't use the "Darkness Travel Technique," Lan Wu simply didn't bother with the less effective "Mist Concealment Technique" and went straight for the attack!
Whoosh—smack!
Lanwu has the greatest talent in water-style chakra manipulation, so her "Water Whip" is naturally powerful and heavy.
Lanwu swung her water whip, the force of which was well transmitted to the tip of the whip. The large swing of the water whip as a whole caused the small sway at the tip to be so fast that even Chishi could only barely see it!
Left!
Akashi waited until the very last moment to react. Just as the tip of the Water Whip cracked the spot where Akashi was standing, causing the earth and rocks to crumble, Akashi's kunai was already in front of Lanwu.
"Ah! So fast... so fast!" Kushina exclaimed, noting that both the whip tip and the kunai were too fast for her to see clearly.
"That's how whips are. If you use them skillfully, the end can be extremely fast and can change direction unexpectedly. The Uchiha clan's shuriken technique is famous throughout the ninja world." Minato was actually a little unsure about the latter.
Other Uchiha clan members don't seem to wield shuriken or similar ninja tools in this way...
However, he couldn't ask about such things, but he knew that Akaishi had unique skills in manipulating ninja tools.
As Lan Wu dodged the kunai, she unleashed another water whip, seemingly intending to bind Chi Shi from behind—this was Lan Wu's specialty. Once the enemy was bound, the water whip would immediately become sticky, making it difficult to break free!
Akashi waited until the very last moment before using a body-flicker technique to leap out and seize the opportunity when Lanwu was struggling to recover from her attack, getting even closer to her. If it came to using the whip, Lanwu's physical skills were strong at close to mid-range, so Akashi naturally wanted to close the distance.
Even halfway through, Akaishi didn't forget to use his short sword to slash at the body of the Water Whip...
Although Lanwu immediately changed the nature of the water whip to stick to the short sword, Chishi also immediately abandoned the sword!
"Akaishi has been disarmed..." Kushina said, covering her mouth.
Kushina, who rarely sees ninja battles, seemed very excited at this moment.
"No, Akaishi did it on purpose!"
Sure enough, no sooner had Minato finished speaking than Akaishi took advantage of the moment when the Water Whip's nature changed and it couldn't be controlled freely, and got completely close to Ranma...
However, although Lan Wu was good at using the Water Flow Whip, she was not only good at close and medium-range attacks. After Chi Shi closed in, Lan Wu hardened her fist and threw a punch directly at him!
Although Akaishi dodged, the sound of the fist whistling past his ear made him grimace. Knowing that he was not to be trifled with, he couldn't help but dodge even more. However, his dodging movements were too large, which naturally caused him to lose the opportunity to counterattack and his counterattack failed.
The two exchanged blows, and it was clear that Akaishi could calmly counter Lanwu's ordinary attacks, but once Lanwu used her "superhuman strength," Akaishi dared not take the risk and simply dodged the attack...
Lanwu is not yet proficient in using "super strength". She can only turn the tide when Akaishi gains the upper hand.
When it turned into a tug-of-war...
"Still on the mission, you two are almost done."
Jiraiya suddenly appeared between the two, grabbing Ranma's wrist as she was about to deliver a powerful punch, while simultaneously extending his palm to block Akaishi's face, completely restricting his vision...
