Akashi Uzumaki

A Day later

In Kumo office of the Raikage 

"Bang" 

An explosion resounded followed by the furious of the leader of the village upon receiving the dreadful news of the events that happened during the attack of Uzushio and the loss that they suffered 

"Curse you!! Damned Uzumaki!!"

 Kiri 

"Slash,"

The smell of blood could be smelt before even stepping inside the office of the Mizukage of Kiri

Inside the bodies of three ninjas were laying lifeless on the ground while others were on their knees on the floor face down looking at the blood that was soaking their closes 

"How could that happen?!" After raging for a while he turned back toward the ninja kneeling 

"Go back!! Find it, Find the four tails, I want to know where the monster went!!" 

"Yes sir!"

The Mizukage barely ended his sentence that the ninjas on the ground responded in one voice before hurriedly escaping the office of their Kage 

"Useless all of them! Useless!!"

Konoha 

In the command room

The Hokage and his advisors are seated facing the leaders of the great clans of the village, the leaders of Ambu, the commanders of the battlefield, etc...

Nearly every important figure had been gathered inside this room, yet after the report was announced everyone was shocked and held their breath for a while, allowing the information to sink in.

After letting out a deep sigh Hiruzen asked for confirmation from the member of the root who was kneeling facing them

"Are you absolutely sure of what you're advancing?" 

"Absolutely, nearly everything present on the Uzushio island was destroyed..."

"From what we were able to deduce after realizing the situation they were in the Uzumaki opted for mutual destruction, in a coordinated attack they isolated the three tail beasts that were sent by the allied force long enough, and using their lives they were able to destroy the seals that were keeping the tails beast trapped into their host," 

"After that, the entire island was reduced to rubble, the three beasts destroyed everything and everyone in the vicinity before leaving the island," 

Tsunade Senju who was seated among the ninjas felt her heart sink when she heard that after all the Uzumaki were her family

After his tale, Hiruzen acquiesces before asking again "Did you find any surviving Uzumaki on the Inland?" 

"No! Master Hokage, unfortunately, we were unable to find any surviving," 

With a sad expression, he nodded slowly acknowledging the answer 

"From your estimations, how many ninjas did they lose?!" asked the advisor Koharu 

"From what we saw they came with approximately two thousand ninjas each and lost more than three-quarters of them, only Suna lost about half of their troops, due to the absence of their tail beast in their ranks," explained the ninja

"At least something good came up from that tragedy," said the hoarse voice of the advisor Danzo, he was unperturbed by the news that had been delivered he had already thought about all that after all he was the first to receive that news.

"Danzo!!" Homura rebuked him when he heard the sentence pronounced by his old friend and many looked at him displeased by what he had just said 

"Do not look at me like I am the one who destroyed Uzushio!" he replied frowning at the reaction of the people around him 

"That event shouldn't have happened, but it did! Because we were inadequately prepared and failed to notice a coordinated attack against our biggest and longest allied, an attack that could have very well been directed against us..." he said his tone was grave as he conveyed his thinking after a brief pause that let everyone digest what he meant he continued 

"Now we need to capitalize on the opportunity that the sacrifice of the clan Uzumaki provided us," 

"Danzo is right!" declared Hiruzen the Third Hokage 

"The war has started this isn't the moment to cry or lament, according to the report that you all heard the four tails of Kiri, the six tails of Iwa, and the eight tails of Kumo are either dead or have escaped, we cannot let the opportunity that has been bestowing upon us by our fallen allies, we must retaliate swiftly and decisively," At those words of their Kage the atmosphere in the room changed and the expression was now transformed and resolution 

When Danzo at his seat saw the reaction of everyone to the little speech of the Hokage he squinted his eyes for a split second before they returned to normal 

Hiruzen him was satisfied by the transformation of his ninjas, and the powerful war machine of Konoha started to turn at full speed.

It only took a day for everyone to be made aware of what transpired at Uzushio, from the disappearance of one of the most powerful and old clans in the ninja's world to the massive loss of ninjas in only one attack on the first days of the wars to the disappearance of the three tails beasts.

From all over the world people were wondering who between Konoha and the other major ninja villages really suffered the biggest loss.

At the same time, a massive search for the missing tail beast was organized by the opportunistic ones who hoped to benefit from the situation.

*****

It had been days since the Uzumaki had started their migration toward the Tea Country, they were the first to receive the news of what happened in their home country, everyone knew that it was coming, and they tried to prepare for it, still, they hoped that a miracle would happen.

Ashina, Kana, and Arima were affected by the news of the destruction of Uzushio and the death of their family members.

Even Akashi who didn't have must contact with their grandfather and great-grandfather was affected after all even if it didn't last long they took their time to impart to him their own hidden knowledge and scrolls.

Maybe it was to compensate for the time they missed but it didn't matter now, they were gone now. 

Even though it was hard they had to move on, they had already found a way to change their distinctive red hairs to dark or brown giving everyone a new layer of protection.

But it didn't solve all of their problems their vast numbers were bound to attract attention after all the migration of About five thousand people is not small and couldn't be left unchecked, particularly in times of war. 

They had to be extremely careful and fast with each move it wouldn't be surprising that this place became a battlefield between Konoha and Kiri.

t in one of the old underground bases of the Uzumaki, Akashi like every moment they had a moment the opportunity Kana dragged Akashi to the sealed area that she had created, inside, Akashi was circulating his massive chakra, and every day he could feel that the process was easier and more fluid.

"From what mom says that is an old seal used during the time of great grandfather, to boost the chakra circulation training of the kid in the clan,"

After a few minutes when his training ended, he looked toward his mother Kana to see her completely imerse in the map in from of her.

They were a sign showing their emplacement they had traveled quite far in only a few days considering the civilians that they had with them 

'Must be due to the vitality of the Uzumaki,' Akashi remarked 

On the map, he could see what they were thinking about using the Kawa pass and making the remainder of the travel to the Tea country by boat. 

"What do you think?" Kana asked for his opinion without looking at him which didn't surprise him as by now he knew that she could perceive nearly many kilometers away

"I think that it's a good idea Suna is far away so there is less risk of meeting their ninja in that part of the sea, ame for the country of the river and the Tea country don't have a village ninja," 

He said and he could see the proud smile of his mother as she looked at him 

"My son is so smart, even if the capital of each country is always contracted ninjas and samurai this is still the safest route for us, and we have the perfect alibi, we are members of the village that was destroyed by ninjas during the beginning of the war and are seeking refuge far from conflict!" she took a deep breath while saying that and after a few second of silence, she folded the map and get up.

"Let's go," Akashi followed his mother and together they walked deeper into the base, the dust fissures and web attest to the state of the place that hadn't been used for a long time, but it was perfect for the circumstance 

"How is your use of the Sharingan now," Kana asked a smile drew itself on her face 

"It's fine, I can voluntarily activate it now," 

"Your father would be so proud," she said 

"Can you tell me a little more about what kind of person was he, my father?" Asked Akashi curious as she rarely talked about but each time she did he could see happiness in her voice and he himself rarely asked

"Your father was very strong, kind, and humble contrary to most Uchiha, he had so many qualities that this is hard for me to list them all..." 

They continued like that for a while Kana chanting the eloge of a father that he will never be able to meet due to his early demise until finally they arrived at their destination, where an old man was waiting for them 

"Good morning Sensei," said Akashi respectfully

"Good morning young master! princess!!" After the greeting the old man asked Akashi "Ready for today's lesson," asked the old man 

Like always!" Akashi responded cheerfully 

"I let you to your training," Kana then left she too had her own tasks to attend
