Chapter 116 Ninja Code
June 6, night.
Having just experienced a major battle that evening, Akaishi was now using the "massage device" to relieve the fatigue in his entire body.
Of course, the "massage device" is not a treatment device and cannot directly affect the injury. It only adjusts Akaishi's physical condition and puts him in the best "recovery" state.
Thanks to this, at least now Akaishi isn't in much pain anymore.
But Akaishi still tossed and turned, thinking about what had happened before, unable to fall asleep.
Because that old guy was too dangerous, Akaishi originally didn't want to hide his information, including the fact that he had the Sharingan. However, Lanwu took the initiative to keep it a secret for Akaishi and suggested that he not say anything about it in the future!
After all, Akaishi himself didn't know that the Third Hokage had already wanted to transfer him out of Team 7 and send him back to the Security Department for "isolation" like the other Uchiha.
Lan Wu kept the matter of the Sharingan a secret for two reasons. Firstly, it was because of the Uchiha clan's situation. Secondly, it was because Lan Wu didn't think that this matter was related to the Uchiha clan—specifically, the Uchiha clan in the village!
Not only did Akaishi not recognize him at all, but judging from his words and actions, he was at least a ninja who hadn't been to Konoha for a very long time, and he didn't seem to be there to seek benefits for the Uchiha. In Lanwu's opinion, the "Sharingan" at the beginning was likely a counter-espionage plot.
If it weren't for the fact that this old man was so strong and even possessed the "Rinnegan," Lan Wu would have suspected that it was another of Shimura Danzo's underhanded tactics!
But Akaishi didn't think so.
Regarding that crazy old man's words and actions—
Even without the Sharingan, Akaishi would suspect that he was related to the Uchiha clan!
Of course, Akashi shared a similar thought with Lanwu—this old man was definitely not a member of the clan, and there was no indication that he had any goodwill towards the Uchiha clan.
Especially what he said at the end—
At the time, Akaishi was preoccupied with Lanwu's situation and his anger towards the old man, and didn't think much about anything else.
However, looking back now, Akaishi also realized something was wrong—
"Is that old man looking down on my Sharingan abilities?"
Akaishi then remembered that he had mentioned things like "two kinds of eyes," "kaleidoscope," and "physical potential that is stronger than that of ordinary people but not enough."
"Two types of eyes, I suppose, refer to the ninjutsu eye and the genjutsu eye—you actually detected it without me even needing to participate in the testing?"
Upon realizing this, Akaishi became even more convinced that he definitely had the blood of the Uchiha clan, and that he was very knowledgeable about the Sharingan!
The clan chief and elders need to conduct a detailed test to determine the eye type of their descendants, as this requires testing their ability to replicate the eye.
After all, the three types of Sharingan are actually very similar, mainly in terms of their copying ability. As for their power in actual combat when using ninjutsu and genjutsu, it is even more difficult to see the difference.
However, when Akaishi recalls it now, it is truly incredible that the old man actually opened his own eyes and discovered the classification. This proves that his understanding of the Sharingan even surpasses the Uchiha clan's heritage!
From this point of view alone, the claim that he is a "wandering ninja with Uchiha blood" is untenable.
However, this also proves that he has no connection with the clan, otherwise why would he go through all the trouble and risk to take the Chunin Exams?
What Akaishi was even more concerned about was what he mentioned later about the "Mangekyou Sharingan"?
Judging from his tone, it seemed like he was saying that even if his eyes became the "Mangekyou Sharingan," the power wouldn't be very high?
To be honest, Akaishi had no idea what this meant!
After all, he had no idea what a "Mangekyou Sharingan" was, but—
Hearing this, Akaishi had a vague guess—could it be that the "Rinnegan" is also known as the "Mangekyou Sharingan"?
?
Or is that strangely patterned Sharingan between the "Sanba Sharingan" and the "Rinnegan" actually the "Mangekyou Sharingan"?
Because the state of the pupil in the middle transition is also a blood red base with black lines, it does indeed make people think it is a kind of "Sharingan", unlike "Rinnegan" and is very different from "Sharingan". Before today, Akaishi never thought that "Sharingan can become Rinnegan".
"Could it be that there really is another Sharingan above the Sanba Sharingan? Then why is there none in the clan at all—hmm? Could it be that what the clan leader was actually trying to say back then was—" Akaishi suddenly remembered something.
Previously, when the clan chief Jiancheng and the elder Lanyu were testing their Sharingan, they mentioned "no need to overthink it." As a result, it successfully made Akashi overthink it. In fact, the performance of various Sharingan is not much different, so what is there to overthink?
unless----
Above the three-layered Sharingan, there is a special kind of Sharingan!
The ability of the Sharingan varies greatly from person to person, and some clues can be seen in the manifestation of the Sharingan beforehand, which is why people are so picky.
But what Akaishi didn't understand was this—
"Could there really be a Sharingan that surpasses even the Three Bars? But—why hasn't it been revealed within the clan?" Akaishi was puzzled. Shouldn't it be revealed so that everyone would be more motivated?
However, it seems that no one in the entire clan knows about this, which suggests that at most only a very small number of high-ranking members are aware of it.
Lacking the necessary conditions, Akaishi couldn't figure it out, and before his injuries had healed, he drifted off to sleep in a daze, without actually "immersing" himself in the process.
In my hazy state, I recalled the situation from that time—
Now Akaishi finally understands what Lanwu's "last words" meant—it was also telling him that the person had a problem and that he "could discuss it with Tsunade," which was a reminder to consider whether or not to tell others about the "Sharingan"!
Of course, Lanwu wasn't simply hiding the matter and disregarding the village's safety. As she said, she would discuss it with people she felt "wouldn't trigger a divisive tactic."
The next morning, after enjoying the "eye-rolling and foot-pinching" treatment, Akaishi was fully awake.
"Huh? You recovered pretty quickly." Shinnosuke looked at Akaishi with some surprise.
"Of course." Akaishi gave a thumbs up.
Akaishi's physical recovery ability is not nearly as strong as it appears, but the "massage device" makes up for this.
Recovering from injuries also requires physical exertion. A good physical condition is more conducive to recovery. Although Akaishi did not directly recover from his injuries, he woke up several times throughout the night, using the "massage device" to keep his body in optimal condition.
Then Akaishi went to Lanwu's tent —
The same principle applies to "Emperor's Kidney Tonic"!
It cannot directly repair kidney injuries, but it can keep the kidneys active and prevent them from shrinking and dying due to external injuries.
Lan Wu woke up just as Chi Shi entered.
"What kind of secret technique is this? It doesn't seem to be medical ninjutsu—" Lan Wu asked curiously.
"Our Uchiha clan's ancestral secret technique for tonifying the kidneys," Akaishi said, forcing a smile.
"Oh." Lan Wu nodded—she felt it would be impolite to ask any more questions.
After replenishing her kidney function, Lanwu used "medical ninjutsu" to heal her injuries.
The Hyuga brothers weren't idle either; they were using their Byakugan to search for their target.
The squad that travels between Tanabata and Shukubacho suffers a lot. After spotting a target, the Hyuga brothers take turns attacking with Shinnosuke—leaving one Byakugan behind to provide cover and "protect" the target.
After using "medical ninjutsu" on herself for a period of time, Lan Wu also treated Akaishi.
Although Lanwu's injuries were more severe, medical ninjutsu support has its limits, and Akashi also needs medical ninjutsu to recover quickly.
Two days later, they will set off with the third group to the post town.
Within at least two days, Akaishi needs to recover to the point where she can move around, and Ranmai needs to recover to the point where she can be carried around!
Afterwards in the post town, they must maintain combat strength that is "at least not immediately taken down" in order to ensure that their Chunin Exam journey can continue.
Honestly—
If this wasn't a Chunin Exam organized by Konoha, but rather a "Joint Chunin Exam" hosted by another village and Akaishi and Ranmai were attacked by someone else, there would definitely be discussions about compensation—and no other rescue is allowed? You guys should explain why that old man who wasn't an examinee even showed up!
However, the problem is—
This is the Chunin Exams organized by Konoha itself. Given the current situation, as Konoha ninjas, they should try their best to pretend nothing happened and minimize the impact. This is not the time to talk about fairness and impartiality.
Two days have passed, and things were finally back on track, having weathered the most difficult period.
However, on the morning of the third day, just as everyone was preparing to set off, an accident occurred as expected!
After everyone had eaten breakfast, Akaishi was preparing to strap Lanwu to his back—Lanwu was already able to move around a bit, but couldn't travel at high intensity, so being carried on his back, even if it was a bit bumpy, wouldn't be a problem.
After all, it was a penetrating kidney injury. The fact that it could recover to this extent in just two days is already a result of the combined effects of the Thousand Hands bloodline and medical ninjutsu.
However, before setting off, Hiashi spotted a group of genin. Judging from their chakra reflexes and speed, they weren't particularly strong, so he and Shinnosuke gave chase, intending to pull off a heist. But then—
After chasing after him out of sight of Baiyan, an hour has passed and he still hasn't returned!
Seeing that Hizashi had opened his Byakugan and was staring at the direction where he had previously spotted the target for a long time, his expression growing increasingly serious, Akaishi asked, "Hiashi, why don't you go take a look?"
"First of all, I am Hizashi—" Hizashi corrected Akaishi's gaze first.
Akaishi:————
"Secondly, my mission is to protect you and Ranmai before we reach the post town," Hizashi said solemnly.
"Then—" Just as Akashi was about to say something, Lanwu stood up and said, "Then let's go together. When we see the enemy, you go and fight them, and I'll hide."
Lan Wu's current condition is really not suitable for combat.
Although Hiashi was worried about his brother and Shin, he still said, "Since we're accepting 1 point per day, then this is the mission." The opening line of the Ninja Code is, "Completing missions is the meaning of a ninja's existence."
'
"Ninja Code is utter nonsense!" Akaishi waved his hand dismissively.
