Faced with the enraged Sarutobi, Danzo dared not disobey in the slightest and obediently closed the door and left.
Danzo understood that Sarutobi now completely believed Akaishi and no longer believed any of his previous criticisms of Akaishi.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was still furious with the Uchiha clan, at least he now felt that Uchiha Akashi was a being like Uchiha Kagami.
Danzo also trusted Kagami, but—he absolutely did not believe that Akaishi and Kagami were the same thing!
However, Sarutobi couldn't resist believing him, and thus his support for the isolation policy wavered. He still hoped that Akaishi could become a bridge and glue between the village and the Uchiha clan, just like Kagami.
Danzo was naturally furious about this, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Danzo now has another matter to worry about —
Create a fake scroll of "The History of Seals in the Warring States Period"!
Now that Sarutobi is completely convinced that the item is still in his possession, continuing to deny it will only alienate Sarutobi further from Danzo, leaving Danzo with no choice but to swallow his pride.
On June 10, Uchiha Kagami, who had been sent as an envoy to Iwagakure, returned to Konoha and immediately heard about the recent events.
-
In the morning, after finishing his meditation, Akaishi returned home to wash up and found Kagami standing at the door of his small house.
"Elder Jing?" Chi Shi asked in surprise—Elder Jing came to see me?
Although Uchiha Kagami is only in his early twenties, he is not only of the same generation as Kensuke and Lan Yu, but is also a clan elder. However, unlike Lan Yu, Kagami basically does not care about clan affairs.
"Akaishi, you're out for your morning exercise so early. Not bad," Kagami praised.
"No, actually—I've been practicing since last night and was just about to take a break," Akaishi said apologetically.
mirror:----
"Your body is still growing, so you should pay attention to resting," Jing advised.
Immediately remembering the rumors of Chi Shi being framed, Jing asked, "Are you still cultivating outside the Forest of Death?"
"No, after the incident, the Hokage specifically contacted me the day before yesterday and allowed me to use the small training ground for free." Akaishi was also puzzled. The Third Hokage seemed quite angry before, and it was said that he had suppressed the Uchiha clan and Danzo Shimura at the Jonin Conference, but—he was quite kind to me?
When the Hokage summoned him alone, Akaishi was worried that he was going to cause trouble for him. However, the Hokage took the opportunity to give him a treat and told Akaishi to be careful during his training and to come to him if anything happened.
Upon hearing this, Kagami remarked with emotion, "Sarutobi is still a kind-hearted person."
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...
Kagami can certainly call him "Sarutobi," since they were teammates in the Royal Guard for a period of time.
but----
Immediately, Akaishi Tingjing said, "Don't resent Shimura. He was also thinking of Konoha, just that his methods were a bit radical."
Akaishi:————
Upon hearing this, Akaishi immediately swallowed back his hesitation about whether or not to tell Kagami about the history of the sealing.
Chi Shi had initially thought that Elder Jing wasn't as extraordinary as the clan leader and Elder Lan Yu, but now it seemed—
This guy isn't normal either!
You can say that Hiruzen Sarutobi is kind, but how come he also speaks up for Danzo Shimura?
"Yes, I understand," Akaishi said as sincerely as possible.
"And also—why do you always train at night? Even if your eye power recovers quickly, you still need to maintain a balance in developing your Sharingan," Kagami reminded him.
Akaishi nodded in agreement, and at the same time understood—
Neither the clan chief nor the Blue Jade Clan Elder told Jing about the "curse of the immersed demon god" that they were under.
"Will you participate in this year's Chunin Exams?" Kagami asked.
"Yes, Jiraiya-sensei said he would recommend some to us." Akaishi nodded.
For the first two years after graduation, you can register for the Chunin Exams as long as you have a recommendation letter from the ninja in charge. After two years, you must complete a certain number of missions before you can register.
"After becoming a Chunin, would you be interested in joining the Anbu?" Kagami asked directly.
Now the Anbu is directly commanded by the Third Hokage. In addition to the previous personnel, Sarutobi will naturally send some of his own people in, and Kagami is undoubtedly one of his own.
"No." Akaishi shook his head directly.
His experience of being "immersed" in the situation taught him that he must refuse directly to avoid any misunderstandings.
mirror:----
Now, Chishi increasingly feels that he still has to make many decisions himself. The clan chief and elders are too complicated to explain in a few words!
Kagami paused for a moment, then didn't say much more, only reminding him to perform well in the Chunin Exams before leaving.
After seeing the mirror, Akaishi washed up and headed to the Hokage Building.
I made plans with Shuimen and Lanwu today to do missions together, mainly to use up the four D-rank mission opportunities this month!
For a D-rank mission, even a genin who has just graduated in their first year doesn't need a team leader.
After searching for the cat and playing with the dog, all the D-rank missions for the month were completed, and it was getting late. So Minato treated everyone to ramen.
Upon arriving at the ramen shop, they happened to see Shiki Aburame, Tsurugi Inuzuka, and Murakumo Kurama also there.
The three were classmates of Akaishi and all graduated this year, forming the same team—Class 8 of the 2013 cohort.
"Hey, Minato, you guys are here for ramen too?" Inuzuka Tsuru greeted.
Akaishi:————
Why did you greet Minato first, even though we're classmates?
Could it be that...
Have you done something wrong and dare not look us Uchiha in the eye?
Seeing Akaishi looking at him strangely, Inuzuka Tsurugi couldn't help but say, "I heard you also raise a ninja beast? Want to have another match?"
Even without her ninja beasts, Akashi was still on par with her and Kuromaru; she was just being stubborn.
"Never mind, the raccoon isn't very good at physical combat; it only knows a mere nine sealing techniques," Akashi said modestly, shaking his head.
Inuzuka Tsurugi: ————
It's not that the raccoon is bad at physical combat; after transforming into its sealed demon god form, it excels at several physical techniques. However—Akashi wants to emphasize that what we know is the noble "sealing technique"!
"That's quite an impressive ninja beast," Kurama said with a hint of sarcasm.
Akashi wasn't surprised by his sarcastic remarks.
"Yeah, when combined with Sharingan genjutsu, it's incredibly useful," Akaishi said arrogantly.
The Kurama clan is also a family in Konoha known for its "genjutsu" (illusion techniques), but—
*Pfft*
Illusion is a specialty?
It's easy to imagine that Kurama is a "little brother" compared to the Uchiha clan. Even if he were trained to his personal limit, his level would only be roughly equivalent to that of Tomoe's Sharingan.
Therefore, the Kurama clan has always envied, resented, and hated the Uchiha clan, while the Uchiha clan is much simpler—they simply look down on them.
Sure enough, upon hearing Akaishi's words, Kurama Murakumo gritted his teeth in anger.
"If my Kurama clan's bloodline limit were to awaken—" Kurama said defiantly.
"Yes, the Kurama clan has a long history. The last time someone from the Kurama clan awakened their bloodline limit was a hundred years ago," Akaishi said, offering a "compliment."
"You!" Kurama exclaimed in annoyance upon hearing this.
"Let's see what we're having today?" Minato asked, changing the subject with the menu in hand.
"Yeah, yeah, what are we eating?" Lan Wu interrupted.
However, neither of them stopped Akaishi, after all—
Everyone saw it; it was Kurama Murakumo who first mocked Akaishi. Although Akaishi boasted about himself first, what does that have to do with him?
"You guys will be participating in the Chunin Exams later, right?" Claw asked aggressively.
"Also?" Akaishi looked at Claw in surprise: "You guys were also recommended by the Jonin instructor?"
"Hehe, that's right!" Claw said matter-of-factly.
"I remember your instructor, Jonin Kato, right?" Lan Wu confirmed.
"That's right, Kato-sensei has already said that we should participate in this Chunin Exams and bring glory to Konoha!" Claw said matter-of-factly.
"Even if I encounter you then, I will not show any mercy!" Claw emphasized.
"Whether I show mercy or not—we'll see if you make it to the final battle." Akaishi was even more confident.
The Chunin Exams are generally divided into three parts: the preliminary test, the preliminary test, and the final test.
The preliminary tests are all written exams. As for the final exam, although the rules often differ, it is generally a one-on-one competition. The preliminary tests are usually comprehensive ability tests or simulated tasks.
"Many ninjas from other villages will be participating in this Chunin Exam, so everyone should be cautious." Aburame Shiki appeared silent and cautious.
However, this is how the Aburame clan has always been; it's not that he's antisocial.
Akaishi noticed that Shimi Aburame was covered up more than before she graduated, and was also wearing a mask.
The Aburame clan, as insect users, are adept at controlling insects in battle, whether for reconnaissance or surprise attacks.
However, unlike ordinary ninja beasts, most insects are not summoned through summoning, but are kept in one's own body!
These insects usually feed on the chakra of the insect manipulator.
It can be said that the insects are used as extensions of one's own body and chakra, which is completely different from the usual ninja beast mode.
As the Aburame clan's ninjas increase their strength, they become increasingly covered up. However, once their insect-using techniques reach a certain level, their clothing will return to normal.
"Speaking of ninjas from other villages, I'm reminded of the Jonin from Kirigakure that I met in the Land of Whirlpools a month ago—" Akaishi immediately chimed in.
Seeing this, Lan Wu interrupted directly, saying, "That's right. Kirigakure had already agreed in the previous negotiations that they would send their best genin to participate in Konoha's Chunin Exams."
It seems that the negotiations between Konoha and Kirigakure went smoothly, or rather—Konoha gained a considerable advantage!
After all, according to past practice, participating in the Chunin Exams of other villages is a symbol of "surrender".
Although Konoha's official name this time was not an alliance meeting but a friendly event, Kirigakure's participation was indeed due to the efforts of the previous joint team.
"I also heard that Iwagakure has agreed to participate, while Sunagakure and Kumogakure have indeed refused—and Amegakure has also refused." Shiwei shook his head regretfully, appearing quite mature.
"No wonder, after all, the current leader of Amegakure is said to be a powerful ninja who can rival a 'Kage'." Claw said with a smirk.
"Hanzo the Salamander—just a guy who relies on ninja beasts." Kurama said disdainfully.
Akaashi:
