Chapter 145 Crisis of the Will of Fire!
"What the hell? Is this what you call being a ninja?"
"Is she really a Konoha ninja? My nephew also said he's never seen her at school—"
"Tch, does she really expect ninjas from other villages not to kill her if she faces them?"
"You don't understand, the Uchiha clan must have done something to make her like this!"
At this point, most viewers were also dissatisfied with Yakushi Nonou.
After all, it seems that Akaishi could have killed her several times already, but she has been stubbornly holding on by being "ungrateful".
Akaishi already had a plan in mind.
"You think you can make me hesitate to act? You're underestimating the Uchiha clan." Akaishi said, stepping forward with a cold smile.
Akaishi grabbed her hair, forcing her to lift her head, and then—
"Let me use the Uchiha clan's genjutsu to make you surrender!" Akaishi's Sharingan met Yakushi Nonou's gaze, and the tomoe rings began to spin.
The next moment————
Yakushi Nonou let out a piercing scream.
Akashi seemed startled and immediately took several steps back, also stopping his eye technique.
"You—you also have a suicide curse mark on you?" Akaishi said, feigning shock.
Akaishi's words immediately caused a huge uproar.
"A suicide curse mark? What's that?"
"I don't know, is it for preventing illusions?"
"Then why is it called 'suicide'?"
"That's a cursed seal used only by secret ninjas—to prevent information leaks and kill themselves in crucial moments!"
"What? They'd do something like this just for the Chunin Exams?"
"Wait a minute, this kid's a covert mission ninja? Could he be one of the legendary Anbu?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense!"
啊—
These terms might be unfamiliar to the average person, but—
Of course, someone would explain to them, and soon the ordinary viewers also understood Akaishi's predicament: if an illusion was used against her, she would still die!
Meanwhile, regarding Yakushi Nonou's identity, although Akaishi did not directly reveal it, everyone had already made guesses, although they were completely wrong, because no one would openly mention the existence of "Root," so everyone suspected that she was "the legendary Anbu." However, for Akaishi, or rather for the Uchiha, the suspicion of Anbu was the same.
Even better —
He might not care if he directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Shimura Danzo, but now he wants Sarutobi Hiruzen to take the blame for him!
On the stage, Onoki and Tora both wore smiles, while Sarutobi's face remained ashen.
"A cursed seal to prevent information leaks? As expected of Konoha, the depth of their sealing techniques is truly enviable," Yin said sarcastically.
Sarutobi: ————
"He leaked the village's secrets! He leaked the village's secrets!" Danzo exclaimed angrily.
Dorm transfer: ————
"Enough! Danzo, you should think about how you're going to explain this to Sarutobi later," Mitomon said irritably.
On the other hand, on the arena, after discovering the existence of the cursed seal, Akaishi no longer dared to use illusion magic and paced around the stage anxiously.
Immediately, it was seen that Akaishi seemed to have made a decision, and then he stood still!
Immediately afterwards, the mirror clone that had been holding down Yakushi Nonou also released her.
"I understand your beliefs! In that case—we are all Konoha ninjas, let's try a more intellectual contest!" Akaishi said magnanimously.
Yakushi Nonou: ————
Yakushi Nonou awkwardly stood up, her body riddled with fractures. She was now using chakra to suture herself, essentially operating a puppet.
Yakushi Nonou remained silent in the face of Akaishi's "literary debate," resolutely carrying out Danzo's orders and naturally refusing to agree.
However, Akaishi seemed to be saying, "You've agreed."
"Let's answer together what's most important for us Konoha ninjas!" Akaishi suddenly said loudly and seriously—
He said, "If you answer correctly, you win!"
"This is allowed? Hey, have you no shame?" Claw had already started cursing from below.
"Prosecutor Hatake, I think she has already lost!" Ranma also appealed to Hatake.
However, Hatake didn't move at this moment. After all, the rules had been set in advance, and as long as she didn't lose consciousness and choose not to admit defeat, there was nothing he could do.
Just when everyone thought that Akaishi was going to give up on this match—
"Look at this, what kind of talk is this?" Mitomon and Danzo complained.
However, they noticed that Danzo suddenly showed a look of fear. Seeing this, Mitomon asked strangely, "You wouldn't have—didn't even teach them the Will of Fire?"
Mitomon was also puzzled: "Why don't you at least put on an act? It's just a few lines, is it that hard to memorize them?"
Danzo, in a panic, tried to rush forward, attracting the attention of Rōshi and Tsukusano, who frowned and looked over, preparing to stop this guy who seemed to be trying to cheat by contacting the exam takers.
Then, Akaishi began speaking, starting with himself: "Where the leaves dance in the air—"
As he spoke, Akaishi also moved his feet as if he were feeling sentimental, turning his back to Yakushi Nonou and deliberately spreading his arms to look at the audience, as if to tell everyone that winning or losing was not important, but more important was our Will of Fire, the foundation of our Konoha Village!
Anyone with a sound mind, even a heinous tyrant, would understand what to do in this situation.
pity----
Pharmacist Nono, who has been subjected to brainwashing training, doesn't understand any of this.
Right now, all she can think about is—
[Strike as severely as possible against the Uchiha clan fighters, even kill them; if victory is not possible, then die on stage.]
Looking at Akaishi's unguarded back, she—
I felt this was an opportunity to complete the task!
Yakushi Nonou showed no intention of continuing the sentence, but the audience was captivated by Akaishi's performance—what kind of "literary duel" was this? It was practically a freebie!
This is Uchiha Akashi, who would rather give up everything than hurt his fellow villagers, and he also took this opportunity to teach them what the "Will of Fire" is!
Yakushi Nonou remained silent, but many Konoha people spontaneously continued chanting, "Ki-i—!"
puff-
Just then, the entire arena suddenly fell silent.
Just as Akaishi finished reciting the first half of the Will of Fire, he was suddenly attacked from behind by Yakushi Nonou, who struck him in the back with a palm strike. Akaishi immediately coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
The audience chanting "Will of Fire" suddenly seemed to have their throats choked by an invisible force, each one choking and unable to speak.
"etc!"
Immediately, a sharp shout came from Danzo, who was desperately trying to rush over but was blocked by Rōshi and Tsūkusa!
Yakushi Nonou turned around, looking at Shimura-sama with some confusion, and then—bowing her head as if to obey.
"Red Stone!" Lan Wu understood the power of the chakra scalpel better than anyone.
Furthermore, the four mirror clones vanished the instant Akaishi was attacked. Ignoring everyone else, Lan Wu rushed onto the stage, pressed on the spot where Akaishi had been attacked, and began using her Palm Healing Technique to heal him.
Minato instantly appeared between Akaishi and Yakushi Nonou, his speed three times faster than what he had demonstrated on the stage before.
C
"Uchiha Akaishi is eliminated—" Hatake announced as he picked Akaishi up, while maintaining a height that Ranma could reach for healing.
Meanwhile, very few people could actually hear Hatake's announcement—
Even Akaishi himself didn't hear it clearly!
Akaishi was still conscious at this time and heard that the surrounding area was in an uproar.
This scene was incredibly exciting for the people of Konoha.
As Uchiha Akaishi was displaying his grace and character, leading his village rivals—who were fighting desperately for reasons unknown—along with the onlookers, they were about to recite the Will of Fire.
Suddenly, they were ambushed by ninjas from the same village!
The impact of this is even greater than if someone blew up the Hokage Rock in front of everyone.
After Chi Shi was carried off the plane and taken to the infirmary, Lan Wu first used her palm magic while her eyes reddened with anxiety, and then—
"Hmm?" Lan Wu gradually realized that Chi Shi's heartbeat was stronger and more powerful than she had imagined. Although she was initially...
There is some impact, but it seems—the impact is not significant?
"You're not injured?" Lan Wu asked, puzzled.
There was no one else in the infirmary at this time, after all, ordinary medical ninjas were not as good as Lan Wu.
"Not injured? You're badly injured!" Akaishi opened his eyes and said irritably.
How can you tell that he's not injured?
Akaishi wanted to say that his injuries were much more serious than he had imagined!
"Indeed—but—did she hold back?" Lan Wu continued her magic palm technique, but she became increasingly puzzled.
It's true that saying "not injured" is a bit of an exaggeration, but—
This injury was much less severe than Lan Wu had imagined!
That's a "chakra scalpel," capable of striking the heart directly, potentially causing instant death.
"Of course it's because I defended," Akaishi said, rolling his eyes.
When Akaishi realized the target was his back, he immediately concentrated his chakra there.
Conventional rigid defenses cannot defend against the "Chakra Scalpel," but concentrated chakra can interfere with it!
Although Yakushi Nonou attacked from behind, — the Mirror clone saw it!
Akaishi realized immediately that the opponent's attack was aimed at his back, and that he had been prepared and had managed to withstand the blow.
Of course, Akaishi was still injured.
The "Chakra Scalpel" was more effective at breaking through defenses than Akaishi had imagined; the spitting blood wasn't an act.
Just then—
Click—
As soon as the door opened, Akaishi immediately closed his eyes again, pretending to be unconscious.
"How's Akaishi? Let me see—" Tsunade pushed the door open and came in.
Because it was a "chakra scalpel" that cut directly into the heart, Tsunade was worried that Ranma wouldn't handle it well.
As for ordinary medical ninjas, they are even less likely to be trusted.
When Lan Wu saw Tsunade step forward, she immediately blocked her way and said, "Ah! It's nothing."
Tsunade: ? ? ?
"I mean—I can handle it, Tsunade-neechan, you go ahead and do your work!" Lan Wu said somewhat guiltily.
Tsunade: ————
Tsunade then gave the "unconscious" Akaishi a strange look, then glanced at the inexplicably guilty Lanwu, and said meaningfully, "Oh, then don't stop your treatment—if Akaishi wakes up, tell him that I will definitely make that old man give him an explanation for this!"
