Akashi Uzumaki

"What a monster!" someone exclaimed, a sentiment echoed by the other spectators as they looked at the fight that had now transformed into what looked more like a one-sided beatdown than a fight.

"This isn't over; you haven't won yet," Iruma said. His hand moved to his pouch, he retrieved a few smock bombs.

"poof," a massive smoke screens obscured everyone's field of vision,

"Good move, but it won't be enough to escape the mind's eyes," Shoza said looking at the smoke 

"Contrary to the Sharingan or the Byakugan the Kaguya mind eyes can't be used that easily in battle, they need to close their eyes, stay immobile, and fully focused," said Fugaku 

"It depends on the degree of proficiency," Hiachi countered "But I doubt that he already had the mastery to use it without support in battle," 

Iruma a genius of the powerful Uchiha clan, and grandson of one of the elders of the clan had never been put in such a situation by someone of his generation, particularly by someone even younger than him.

He wasn't just arrogant, he knew that there were many in his generation that he couldn't defeat and had already been defeated by several of them.

But this time, it was different, he felt helpless.

He was overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions, shame, anger, determination, and more, his mind and all his senses worked like never before.

He didn't notice but a third magatama started to flicker in his eyes.

"Shadow clone," he murmur making a clone after a few quick handseal which moved under the cover of the thick smoke.

Iruma acted at great speed before Akashi could react 

"Fire style: Fire bullets"

"Fire style: Fire shurikens"

'From two sides,'

Akashi quickly realized what happened when he was attacked from two opposite sides by Iruma and his clone,

"Clang, clang..." 

While flickering to avoid the attacks the chains on his back moved seemingly independently stopping and deflecting the attacks coming from behind while with his swords he slashed the others. 

"Boom, boom..." explosions resonated all over the training field creating even more smoke obscuring Akashi's and everyone's views even more.

"He is making good use of the terrain, and of his eyes,"

"Yes, the smoke can't stop him from tracking Akashi with his Sharingan, while stopping him from finding his exact position by constantly attacking and moving around, brilliant," 

"That's right! don't leave him time to breathe,"

The sound of explosions and weapons clashing resounded in the thick smoke,

'He is relentless,' Akashi thought moving his head backward to avoid another slash that Iruma trusted toward his neck before quickly avoiding the adamantine chain that threatened to tear into his body,

'Ahh, so that was that. Of course, I should have expected that no wonder he is now capable of finding openings in my defense,' he thought before his mind was trapped in an illusion

"Finally," Iruma exclaimed their eyes had barely met but it was enough for his Sharingan who now had three tomoe to put Akashi in an illusion.

Jumping on the opportunity Iruma and his clone moved at great speed toward Akashi.

"A third magatama, huh, not bad," 

Before he could reach him Akashi lifted his head and turned toward him.

"How!" 

"You fell on the wrong opponent," he murmured looking at Iruma with a sly smile 

 Gripping his swords with more strength he injected a massive amount of chakra into them 

"Sword Tornado," he said 

In one quick move, he unleashed a massive tornado that blew Iruma away cleared up all the smoke obstructing everyone's view and at the same time destroyed a good part of the field, from the already battered ground to the trees around.

"Hahahaha..." 

"It was fun, hope we will do that again another time," Akashi said looking toward the sky before

"Bang," an explosion resounded in front of him as Iruma fell heavily on the ground in front of him,

Before long the other debris that had been blown into the sky followed falling back on the field. 

"Alright the fun is over, let's go," Akashi said to Kushina and Karin

"You took your time," Karin said as they walked away while Iruma's companion tended to his injuries,

"Is it me or it take you more time to defeat him than it took against me," Kushina complained

"So what do you think about the fight,"

People's eyes turned toward Shikaku at Inoichi's question directed at him,

"Hm,"

"I think that in a few years, there won't be many people in that generation who can hold a candle against him,"

he responded gravely after a while looking at the departing Akashi

"He gave me the same feeling that Minato,"

"They are completely different, Minato is humble this one is very… arrogant,"

"I mean strength, their potential is immense, almost frightening,"

In the trees, a bunch of Uchiha who had observed the fight started to discuss the outcome

"As expected he lost," The old Mikami of the hawk faction of the Uchiha said looking at his grandson who was helped by his friends

"Yes he lost, now pay up," the old Daiki said snapping his finger until his rival gave him the money he was owed

"It was a good fight, it helped him awake his third magatama,"

"That defeat will help him in the long run,"

"Yes, it will," 

With that they all flickered away, only the old Mikami stayed a little longer directing a hate-filled gaze toward Akashi.

Hokage's office

Looking in his crystal ball he had observed the fight between Akashi and Iruma in the presence of his advisors and comrades.

"Ths fight's over," he said taking his eyes of the ball and looking in front at the three of them.

"He is really an impressive kid, so full of talent that it's frightening,"

Once again they couldn't help but agree with him, they heard of him from Tsunade, and they had already seen him fight against Kushina once, and now seeing him fight Iruma a genius of the Uchiha clan had solidified what they already knew.

"That kid is a monster," Danzo said with concern his dark eyes

His sinister mind was already making plans for the future, in case he needed to deal with Akashi when the Uzumaki revealed themselves as untrustworthy.

"And he will continue to get stronger as time goes by and he gets older," Koharu said remembering once again that despite looking like a twelve years old Akashi was only nine.

"He didn't even get a scratch in that fight either, you noticed that right," Homura remarked,

It was the second time he saw Akashi's fight, and even though it two opponents had shown themselves to be at the level of a jonin, Akashi didn't suffer any injuries, in those fights.

"Not only does he possess the Kaguya mind eyes, he has the adamantine chains, we know from your observations that he has as much if not more vitality than Kushina, same with his chakra and…"

"And his seals, you saw the way he made his swords appear in his hands if, at will, it shows a great mastery of seals,"

Hiruzen his comrade's evaluation of Akashi with attention

'His chakra seems…heavy and deep,' he thought remembering what he felt observing it

'It's like if it hides something more,' he thought

If Akashi could hear that he would praise the old man's insight as it was true that his chakra hid a lot of secrets that would make even Hiruzen sweat.

Not only did he have a massive amount of chakra as a pure Uzumaki of his rank he also had Snakyl, a baby artificial tail beast that had fed on Zetsu.

He also had the Sharingan, a three tomoe sharingan, and anyone knowing anything about the Sharingan would know that after the apparition of each tomoe, one would receive a qualitative boost in chakra, and to all that he had also trained with an ancient Uzumaki technique who not only absorb natural energy but also refine his own reserved.

And that technique was ironically the only reason why his energy was still at the level of a Kage right now.

Hiruzen didn't stay too much on that, a smile appeared on his face as he compared him to a yellow-haired ninja already making his mark in the world.

"There isn't a reason to panic for now, even if he is a frighteningly tenuous kid, Konoha never lacked talent, it just tells us that we need to focus on the search and training of our own little genius like the little Minato, once he comes back from the mission he will resume his training with Jiraiya,"

"I will take care of the scouting of young talent in the clans and among civilians," Danzo said his mind already running through the list of potential young recruits for his root,

"Alright you do that," Hiruzen agreed knowing perfectly well what his old friend had in mind
