Reaching back to the house, Akane created two clones who went to practice Fuinjutsu and he went to his room. Laying down on the bed, he used Dream Manipulation and looked for everyone.
'Kushina, Mikoto and Tsunade are awake. Mito is asleep but let's ignore her. Kaguya is asleep, huh! Well, she doesn't have anything else to do.'
He pulled her in the dream and Kaguya opened her eyes.
"You are here," Kaguya said the same thing she says every time and Akane nodded at her words. She looked at the little kid who had grown up in the past two years and was the only one to accompany her.
Akane had asked if she wanted to meet others, but Kaguya declined since she didn't feel like meeting anyone. She was more interested in watching TV and relaxing with him than meeting others.
In the past two years, Kaguya had gotten used to his presence and she had learned many things from him.
Not only about anime and manga, but Akane taught her how to fight and use her abilities in a better manner. He also asked her to make a copy of the seals in the Moon, but Kaguya couldn't look at them.
Akane planned on directly unlocking the seal on Moon, but after hearing Kaguya's words, he understood that it wouldn't work.
"Did something happen?" Kaguya asked as she noticed that he was in a bad mood, and Akane nodded at her words.
"Again, some people from Kiri arrived and I dealt with them with others," Akane said with a sigh and Kaguya's eyes flickered at his words.
"What are you going to do now? Since they arrived now, they would be arriving again."
"No, they won't. Since the Second Shinobi War is going to start and they will have something else to focus on," Akane said with a frown on his face, and Kaguya showed no change in expression to war.
"And what are you going to do in it?" Kaguya asked, and Akane's eyes flickered at her words.
"I plan on using the war to gather the chakra of other eight-tailed beasts since you will need it in future. Still, is there any other way to get you out of the seal? The Infinite Tsukuyomi is a rubbish plan, and it needs a lot of things."
"You have to destroy the seal from the outside," Kaguya said with a thoughtful look on her face, and Akane frowned at her words. Destroying the Moon is too difficult for current him, and a sigh escaped his lips.
Looking at his expression, a soft smile appeared on Kaguya's face and she said, "You don't need to rush or think too much. I am satisfied with the current way and when you can, you can get me out of the seal. Till then, accompanying me here is enough for me."
Akane looked at Kaguya's smile and he nodded at her words. The smile on her face enhanced her beauty and Akane wouldn't deny the attraction he felt for the simple yet terrifying woman.
"Come here," Kaguya said to Akane as she looked at him with a thoughtful look on her face. Akane tilted his head and walked to her. He saw Kaguya raising her hand and patting his head. A strange look appeared on Akane's face as he looked at Kaguya, who said, "You are working too hard, and you have to rest."
"Does it feel good?" She asked, making Akane chuckle and he understood that she was doing what she understood from anime.
"Mm, it does," Akane said with a hum and a smile appeared on Kaguya's face.
'The simple cuteness is too much for me to bear,' Akane thought in his mind as he looked at Kaguya's actions and he knew that Kaguya had come Akane thought in his mind as
They spent time together with Akane talking about some events and things that happened. Kaguya listened to everything in silence and if she had something to say, she would say what appeared in her mind.
Akane stayed there for two hours and when he received the memories of Shadow Clones, he knew that it was time to leave. Noticing the change in expression, Kaguya understood that it was time for him to leave.
"See you later," Kaguya said with a smile on her face and Akane smiled in return. He disappeared from the place and opening her eyes, Kaguya touched her cheeks.
Even though it happened in a dream, Kaguya didn't know why but she felt her cheeks getting hot and her face turned red as she thought of Akane.
"Is he really serious?" Kaguya muttered the same question she had been asking herself for years. At first, she thought that he was just joking and hiding his real intentions, but since he asked for her help with Black Zetsu, Akane hadn't asked her anything else.
"Does he really want me to be his woman and nothing else?" Kaguya muttered with a blush on her face and she couldn't help but think of the rom-com she had watched with him.
"Let's wait till I am free and then I will think about his intentions," Kaguya said as she closed her eyes and in her mind, she thought of everything that happened in the past two years.
The yearning in her heart to get free and meet him outside has increased a lot, and it's the same for her hatred for her two traitorous sons.
In the room, Akane opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He looked outside the room with a hum and got up on the bed.
'The Second Shinobi War will start soon. Tsunade has gotten stronger than her canon self so I don't think they will be called Sannin in future.'
'I shared the idea of Creation Rebirth with Mito, who researched together with Tsunade and developed the Jutsu a few months ago.'
'The Yang Seal has stored a lot of chakra in the past year but that isn't enough.'
'Even if I do everything, my strength would only reach Peak Kage level, until I do something to break the limits. Reaching on the same level as Madara and Hashirama is just a dream, and the only way is to become a Perfect Jinchuuriki.'
'But that's something I don't want to, and the worst thing is that I don't have any affinity with Space for Flying Thunder God technique.'
Akane thought as he clenched his hand. In the past two years, his strength has reached Jonin level, not like Kakashi who was Jonin at 12, but the real Jonin level.
With Adamantine Chains, Kagura's Mind Eye, Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and Shadow Clones Technique, Akane was confident in defeating anyone below Kage Level. He could defeat some false Kages but would lose to real ones because of his less experience.
After all, Akane has only spared some people, and he hasn't bathed in blood, unlike others.
"Do I have to leave Land of Waves for experience? They do say that death battles can help in breaking limit, but would it work?"
Akane muttered with a thoughtful look on his face and since he was lost in thoughts and had his guard down, he didn't notice Kana who was outside the room, and heard his words.
"Is it alright time?" Kana murmured with a sad look on her face and she understood that her young eagle was going to spread his wings.
She knocked on the door, waking Akane from his thoughts and entered the room.
"Aka-chan, I need to talk with Mito-Sama," Kana said as she looked at Akane while hiding her emotions, and Akane nodded at her words. He didn't ask what she wanted to talk about and pulled Kana, who went to sleep and Mito, who was already asleep.
Letting them talk in the cafe, Akane roamed outside with a thoughtful look on his face.
"The base foundation has been done, what else do I need to focus on?" Akane murmured as he thought of what he knew. Lightning Release Chakra Mode for Speed, Yang Release for Strength, Adamantine Chains for range attacks, Kagura's Mind Eye for Sensing, and Fuinjutsu for support.
"Sage Mode? But that's just augmentation and I need to strengthen my base and break the limit."
"Eight Inner Gates? Mm, they will do. I need to focus on the Eight Inner Gates and research on them."
"Unlike the usual ones when they unlock gates during a fight, I wonder if it is possible to break past the limit permanently and keep gates active anytime."
"But, I hope that it won't be like a reactor that would burn everything."
Akane talked to himself as he went through the memories and knowledge he had.
On the other hand, Mito looked at Kana, who had a pensive look on her face, and she understood that Kana had something important to talk about.
"Mito-Sama, if Aka-chan is sent to Konoha, can you make sure that nothing will happen to him?" Kana asked and Mito's expression changed at her words.
She didn't reply immediately but then an idea appeared in her mind and said, "It is impossible, but why?"
"Didn't you reject it when I talked before about taking him under me?" Mito asked with a flicker in her eyes and Kana looked down.
"It was to let him grow without any worries but the island has become a constraint on him," Kana said while sighing and Mito looked at her.
"He just needs to grow up and his strength will reach Kage level, why did you come to this conclusion? He already is a Jonin in strength and not a normal one,"
Mito said with a thoughtful look on her face. She knew that the boy was talented and soon he would reach on same level as Tobirama.
"Mm, but you also know that he has secrets he doesn't share, right? He isn't satisfied with his current strength and this makes me worried. I won't ask what he has in his mind, but I don't want him to get hurt and lose his life in future because of his less strength."
"So, if he doesn't think that his strength is good, then it is truth."
Kana said while rubbing her head and Mito nodded at her words.
"Do you want to send him to Konoha and get experience?" Mito asked with some thoughts in her mind and Kana nodded in response.
"He is twelve, the same age as Kushina so I think it would be good if he could become Ninja with her and follow under Tsunade-Hime."
"You have some thought in her mind that I had when I heard your words. Making him Tsunade's disciple in name will be a good choice, and since she has a good impression of him, she won't deny this."
Mito said with a flicker in her eyes and she thought of her granddaughter. A sigh escaped her lips and she said, "Anyways, do you know what he thinks of Tsuna?"
"Huh?" Kana said as she heard the words with a confused look on her face and Mito said, "I am thinking of matching him, Tsunade and Kushina."
"Eh? A Harem?" Kana asked with a stunned look on her face and she said, "Would they even accept?"
"Kushina should since it's obvious to us that she likes him, and as for Tsunade, I will deal with her since she hasn't shown any interest in other men."
"Besides, only a few Uzumaki are left like Pure Senju. If Nawaki was responsible, I would have given him one, but he can't even deal with one, and let's not mention many."
"Akane has good sense in dealing with girls, and you should have seen already. This is one of the major reasons why I had this thought in my mind."
Mito said with a flicker in her eyes and she continued, "He is a good boy, a family guy, has good sense in dealing with women, and can take care of and say what needs to be said."
"What else does a woman ask for? To be honest, I don't think my drunkard and gambler granddaughter deserves someone like him, so there is no need to think much."
"But, everything depends on his wishes, and if he doesn't want to, then there is no point in thinking further."
Kana nodded at Mito's words and they decided to ask Akane. After calling him, they waited for some time and soon Akane entered the cafe. He looked at the serious look on their faces and asked, "Did something happen?"
