Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 87 Disappearance

Chapter 89 Disappearance

Now that he knows it was Shimura Danzo, who has always been at odds with the Uchiha clan, who was behind this, Akaishi will not go with them even if he has a way to clear himself of suspicion—what if that old bastard just uses dirty tricks?

"How dare you resist arrest?" Although the masked ninja from the Anbu couldn't see the distress signal from the Sharingan, he knew what had happened and was immediately annoyed.

"Quickly resolve this!" They knew that once the distress signal was sent out, unexpected changes would definitely occur.

but----

The "variables" are happening faster than they imagined!

"Stop it, all of you!"

Just as Akaishi was about to get serious with the three masked ANBU ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice rang out.

The Third Hokage was wearing a light divine robe, which looked like he was still wearing pajamas underneath. It seemed that he had been disturbed at night and had just put on the clothes and come over.

Akaishi's eyes narrowed—Shimura Danzo was also following beside Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Hokage!" Akaishi cried out hastily, his words filled with a plea for help.

"Shimura-sama!"

The three masked ninjas from the Anbu knelt down and bowed to Shimura Danzo.

Akaishi then realized—

These ninjas wearing masks similar to those worn by the Anbu (Anbu) are probably not from the Anbu.

Although Root had been established for several months, it had always been secretive and did not even need to report its progress to the Shinin Council. Everyone knew what they were doing, and it was a completely independent secret organization!

Therefore, they had little presence. Akaishi didn't even recognize their uniforms. Only then did he realize that these three must be members of Root.

"Step back!" Sarutobi waved his hand and said.

This was clearly addressed to the three kneeling men, since they were now standing between Akaishi and Sarutobi.

The three hesitated for a moment, then made no move.

Danzo felt Sarutobi glance at him, and alarm bells immediately went off in his head. He quickly said, "The Hokage-sama has ordered you to leave!"

""

"Yes," the three replied.

At the same time, Akaishi rushed forward and said, "Hokage-sama! They suddenly attacked me!"

Akaishi looked flustered, but based on first impressions alone, Sarutobi couldn't help but lean towards him.

Sarutobi was just sleeping at home when Danzo suddenly showed up at his door, reporting that the secret archives had been stolen and that Root ninjas were tracking the culprit.

Startled, Sarutobi immediately came out of Lake Biwa, threw on his clothes, and wanted nothing more than to whack Danzo outside with a stick. "Are you kidding me? You're not even going to put on an act anymore, are you?"

Sarutobi knew very well that there must be a trap involved, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?

These guard duties were just handed over to Root, and you've already had them stolen? Are all your Root ninjas useless?

But the guards couldn't keep an eye on them, yet they were able to track down the criminals.

but----

This is also a calculated move!

If Danzo really did hand the scroll over to the Uchiha clan, and Akaishi obtained the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, then what if—

..

Sarutobi was filled with rage, but he had no choice but to deal with the matter immediately.

"Akaishi, what are you doing here?" Sarutobi asked, trying to soften his tone.

"I usually train at the exit of the Death Forest at night—" Akaishi said truthfully.

"Heh, so why are you leaving now?" Danzo interjected.

"What kind of secret location is this? Are Uchiha clan ninjas not allowed to come here?"

Just then, Lan Yu's voice came over.

Uchiha clan members Kenshin and Lan Yu, along with six or seven other Jonin, all arrived at the scene. It was clear they had rushed out, as their outer garments were rather unkempt.

After Lan Yu retorted to Danzo, Jian Cheng directly asked, "Hokage-sama, is this the duty of Root's hidden forces?"

"Clan Chief Kensuke, there must be a reason for this. We also need to distinguish whether it's a misunderstanding." Sarutobi reassured the Uchiha while also not wanting to appear weak in front of them.

Danzo, seeing through Sarutobi's thoughts, immediately gave him another push, saying, "That's right, this is our Root's duty—to arrest rogue ninja who steal village secrets!"

"Rogue ninja? You're saying we Uchiha are rogue ninja?" Lan Yu said, Tomoe markings appearing directly in his eyes.

The other Uchiha ninjas also looked ready to attack.

Only Kensuke, as the clan head, remained calm and said to Sarutobi, "Hokage-sama, I believe that Shimura not only sees us Uchiha as enemies, but as mortal and personal adversaries!"

Sarutobi's face darkened, and Danzo, seeing this, said, "I'm not referring to any of you Uchiha ninjas, but specifically to Uchiha Akashi! You—aren't you going to take out the scroll?"

As Danzo spoke, he looked at the pocket at his waist, where a scroll was clearly visible.

Sarutobi saw it from the very beginning —

That's why we believe Danzo's actions were a calculated scheme!

Although he didn't believe that Akaishi would steal or be able to steal the confidential scroll, it seemed that it really was in his hands. What if he saw the "scroll?" Akaishi frowned upon hearing this and then took out the scroll.

However, upon seeing it, Danzo's gaze faltered—

It's a very ordinary scroll. You can tell from its appearance that it's not "The History of Seals in the Warring States Period" but just a standard-issue seal scroll.

After taking it out, Akaishi spread it out on the ground and then, facing the sealing seal on it, said, "Release!"

Akashi used a summoning jutsu to break the seal and retrieve the contents—

Statues, each about the height of a forearm, appeared out of thin air, mostly modeled after the three Hokage and Konoha elders such as Sarutobi Sasuke.

"I carry these things with me to motivate myself because I like them and admire the Hokage. — Could it be that these merchants didn't actually authorize them? I didn't know that, so I'm not a rogue ninja, am I?" Akaishi said aggrievedly.

Even without breaking the seal, no one would suspect that the secret scrolls hidden inside the village were made of special materials that could not possibly be sealed inside a sealed scroll.

Danzo stared in disbelief, then looked Akaishi up and down.

However, after taking out the scroll, Akaishi obviously had no other place on his body to put it!

"Where did you put the 'History of the Warring States Sealing'?!" Danzo scolded, while also looking at the other Root ninjas.

He only notified Sarutobi to come and collect the dirt after his subordinates reported that they had "personally seen Akaishi put the scroll away."

"What 'The History of Sealing in the Warring States Period'?" Upon hearing this, Akaishi angrily took off his coat, making it even clearer that there was nowhere to hide anything.

On the other side, the Uchiha Jonin, seeing this, also opened their eyes, their dissatisfaction overflowing. They considered it an insult to the Uchiha clan, with only Kensuke, as the clan leader, showing some restraint.

"What are the Hokage and Shimura looking for? Do they suspect Akaishi of stealing secrets? Heh, even if my Uchiha clan really wanted to steal something, we wouldn't send a child, would we? Besides—if it's a classified archive, wasn't it always guarded by my Security Department before it was handed over to Root?" Kensuke asked in a deep voice.

Upon seeing this, Danzo immediately feigned composure and said, "Of course we have evidence—the guards saw the Sharingan!"

Hearing what the clan chief and Shimura Danzo said, Akaishi was completely certain of the situation. He then steeled himself and said, "Ah! Hokage-sama, was the scroll that went missing from the village a red scroll with gold trim?"

Danzo had already begun confronting Uchiha Kensuke, and Sarutobi was having a headache when he suddenly heard Akaishi say this and immediately looked over.

Jian Cheng, Lan Yu, and other members of their clan also looked at Chi Shi with suspicion.

"That's right, Akaishi, where did you see him?" Sarutobi asked quickly.

This is no longer just a matter of a sealing location. The situation is now on the verge of getting out of control, and the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Shimura Danzo is about to erupt!

After all, the Security Department had been dissatisfied with this matter ever since the Root was established.

Sarutobi hadn't really cared about the tattered scroll—who knew if that weapon of the Uchiha clan was still alive?

He simply wanted to resolve the issue of the "theft" itself.

"Just now—I woke up from my cultivation state and heard strange noises coming from the bushes. I was afraid that enemies had infiltrated the village, so I went to check and found this scroll." Akaishi said truthfully.

"Hmph, picked it up?" Danzo wanted to mock him for lying, but after being glared at by Sarutobi, he listlessly shut up.

"Akaishi, is that scroll still in the same place?" Sarutobi asked him to confirm.

However, Akaishi shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be. I wanted to see what it was, but before I could pick it up, it disappeared—I was afraid it was a trap, and I was just about to go and report to you when the three of them blocked my way."

"You—you're talking nonsense!" the Root ninja immediately rebuked.

"Huh? Hokage-sama, this is indeed the direction to your house, isn't it? Besides—if I really stole something from the Hokage Building and ran here, wouldn't I have passed through the clan's territory? Wouldn't it be better if I went home?" Akaishi looked at them in bewilderment.

"Suke Shimura, what's going on? What does Root want to do?" Kenzumi demanded directly.

Isn't the situation quite clear?

You, Shimura Danzo, were fishing, and you weren't even using real bait!

"Putting everything else aside, did you really not look at that scroll?" Danzo hadn't expected to be pushed to this point, and he was now speaking recklessly.

"No—it just disappeared." Akaishi said with an innocent look on his face.

"Are you sure?" Danzo looked at him grimly and said, "That makes things easier. We just need to have someone examine your memories—"

Before Akashi could say anything, Lan Yu shouted, "How dare you! Who dares to investigate a member of the Uchiha clan? I want his head!" As he spoke, Lan Yu stared directly at Danzo with his Sharingan, making no attempt to hide his intention to take action.

"Blue Jade Jonin, calm down first." Sarutobi had just finished speaking.

Jian Cheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his Sharingan and said decisively, "Hokage-sama! If you can still tolerate the Root's insolence, then allow my Uchiha clan to retire and return to our hometown!"

Akaishi:————

Shouldn't he have retired from military service and returned to his hometown?

Seeing this, Sarutobi immediately tried to appease him, saying, "Clan Chief Kensuke, please calm down. How can Konoha function without the Security Department?!"
