Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Mission
Akashi woke up in his massive and comfortable bed.
His bedroom was worthy of his princely rank, the place was very spacious, well-illuminated, and luxuriously decorated,
After his bath he let himself fall on his bed and rest for a little while.
After he woke up Akashi made his way toward another building
"Welcome to the research department my prince," said one of the guards in samurai uniform as Akashi entered the massive building filled with samurais, ninjas, and trapped.
"Hello Maya san, hello everyone," he greeted all the researchers working on their desktops.
Before moving to the study and turning on his desktop computer.
Yes, they had laptops in the ninja world, when he first saw it he didn't know how to react, an idea stuck in his mind since then.
'Maybe I'm not the only reincarnator in the ninja world?!'
But he remembered that there were indeed laptops and other advanced technologies in the ninja's world, Oroshimaru used them in his attempt to create ninjas capable of using wood style.
It's just that most ninjas will never come in contact with them.
He confirmed that there were restrictions on technologies in the world put in place by some Daimyos, it was the great difference between this world and his last.
In his last world technology was widespread, here it was guarded and protected as fiercely as a ninjas protect his Justus.
"Welcome my prince!!" they greeted him respectfully but without getting up from their seat as he was a regular there and having them get up every time he arrived would cause trouble in their work.
"The beast is impressive, no matter how many times I study it," Maya said not taking her eyes of her desktop.
Maya was one of the lead researchers who was tasked with studying the secrets of the Zero tail and she explained the progress that they made since the last time.
Akashi looked at the transparent glass in the room where the creature was trapped by the most powerful seal of his clansmen.
It not only served as the energy source for the whole capital.
Akashi also learned that it was one of the cornerstones of the power of his father's samurai corp to the level of power that it has today.
In the begining, he didn't think that the samurai corp was remotely a threat to his family and that they only allied themselves to avoid more conflict until his mother told him otherwise.
(Flashback)
A few years back
In the palace
"Son, do you know why we allied ourselves with Yanagi instead of trying to take over by force,"
"To not attract attention, if it was discovered that we killed a Daimyo we would make an enemy of all the other Daimyos," Akashi responded immediately showing that he had already thought about it.
"Yes, this is one of the reasons," Kana answered
"This is one reason, but not the most important reason,"
"The truth is that we couldn't beat him, if we had tried most of us would've died," she said and she saw how surprised he was
"surprised right, I was surprised too, that a bunch of samurai could threaten us after all even in our weakened state we have more than enough strength to defend ourselves,"
"How are they so strong did he tell you?" Akashi asked
"Well he did, this is their armor, they can absorb chakra, and it gives them an edge over most ninjas," she said simply
"Their armors can absorb chakra," he repeated in amazement as he remembered
'I remember something like that, the chakra armors of the land of snow I think, did the technologies come from here?' he pondered
"Are they made of chakra metal, how can they do that?!"
"It's a technology that they developed from their research on the Zero tail, while the ninjas of the nations used it to fly their fortress he studied its ability to absorb negative emotion, and created that,"
"That is very impressive, the ability to absorb chakra and make it your it can be seen as a secret technique of a clan and they have that in mass,"
"This isn't the most impressive part," she said before taking a pause
"What is the weakness of a samurai?! The reason they have been surpassed by ninjas" Kana asked Akashi
"Their lack of inherent...chakra control," he corrected when he saw her shake her head
"Yes, their lack of chakra control, as a samurai fights with a sword in hand he can't mold chakra as easily as ninjas, this is why they are inferiors. But he solved that issue, yes, they have applied this technology in their sword,"
"In their swords!!"
"Yes their sword you see, one of the swords he always walks around with is used as some sort of anchor, it helps feel, circulate, and mold the chakra inside them without having to do hand seals, and with his rich inheritance he was able to create a powerful force under the nose of everyone," she explains and Akashi couldn't help but be amazed.
"Woah, to be able to do that is impressive, he can change the feat of all samurais if he spreads that,"
"Yeah, you can dream he isn't altruist enough to do something like that,"
(End of Flashback)
"Anyway, how are my swords? Are you done with them?!"
"Yes we are done," she said and from another room, a man with red hair walked into the room a box in hand.
"Sorry that you have to come here so often because of us,"
"No worry, they are the first fruits of your technologies and our sealing jutsus, I understand that they can't be perfect, it takes time," he said opening the box to see two katana inside, one black and one white.
"Finally my own weapons, I won't have to use the training swords now,"
"They are good weapons they were specially made for help in the training, plus I think that those are too long for someone your size to draw," Maya said as she saw Akashi place the two Katana at his side
"Let's see," he responded taking them out of their scabbards at great speed
"What were you saying!" he said looking at Maya who just shrugged wondering how he did it,
she wasn't a fighter or she would have realized that she was right something that Akashi himself realized before he even took them, he just didn't want her to know that
"Thanks for the gift I'm going to test it immediately," he said walking out of the room and leaving them to their work
"they are too long for me to draw as I wish," he said remembering how much strain he had to put on his shoulder
"Doesn't matter I'm not an Uzumaki for nothing," he said a scroll appeared in his hand from a flick and he carefully stored it inside
In the training ground, Akashi was swinging his two new swords one was white from the handle to the tip while the other was black as night.
All around him, the trees had been sliced.
"No problem with the circulation of chakra and wind attributes," he said looking at his katana covered with chakra with another swing he sent a flying slash that cut through some of the trees still standing.
After that, he closed his eyes circulated his chakra in his swords and took a deep breath, without making a hand seals.
"Wind Style: Great breakthrough" With that he let out a massive wind attack which sent the fallen trees in the training ground flying in the sky while being sliced even further
"The output is not as good as with hand seals it doesn't matter I will easily get used to that feeling, everything is a matter of training," he said before resuming his training.
After a while, he put his weapons back in their scabbards before letting them disappear in a scroll.
At the end of his training sessions, Akashi made his way toward his father the Daimyo's Tower.
The Daimyo tower was a batiment hosting all the sectors important for the ruling of the sky country.
In this batiment, the leader of the civilian sectors and military sectors had an office there.
Of course, they also had their building but this one was the place where they gathered under the orders of Yanagi the Daimyo.
Akashi arrived at the fourth level where he greeted the samurai and ninjas working side by side.
At that level, his uncle Ashina Uzumaki, the leader of the Ninjas core and Hitachi Karashima leader of the samurai core friends and confident of Yanagi, worked side by side.
And just above the fifth floor where he was now was his destination, he walked to the fifth floor a very luxurious decorated place where he spotted his father and his mother seated side by side on their very comfortable seats harmoniously ruling the sky nation.
"My baby, you here Kana said as she smiled at him
coughing a little to chase his embarrassment as he saw the samurais on the side smile at KAna's words, he refocused on his purpose here
"My lord I'm here to receive my assigned missions,"
