"The secret justsu created by the genius second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!"
At that sentence, the eyes of Kana Uzumaki opened wide as she processed the information before replying
"No wonder some of them want us gone!"
her words drew a smile on the face of her grandfather
"Well it is too late now," said Azuno
"So, how is the evacuation going,"
"You have only given the order a few hours ago, but this is going fine, we have an excuse because of the start of the war so it is fine for now, I wonder how much we are going to evacuate safely, and how much will die,"
The daimyo of Uzushio commented grimly, a comment that affected the mood of everyone present.
"What say the information team on the land of fire!" Asked another,
Being a thousand years old clan the Uzumaki and one of the only ninja clans having a country they imposed themselves among the ruling class in the world and had enough infrastructure, spy, and way of procuring themselves the information needed even if lately they had learned toward relying on Konoha
"Well they didn't find any concrete evidence but they reported some unusual behavior like a secret being shushed around them I guess we know what it is that they are hiding"
"So what's the battle plan," Kana asked
"We can use the--" Her brother Ashina was responding when he was interrupted by his father the Daimyo.
"You two will be leading the evacuation of everyone out of the island, and settle somewhere," He said his voice resolute and firm.
What!!" the two youngest in the room responded in the same way "What do you mean by that?" Asked the patriarch
"We have discussed it and changed our mind Father and I, this is the decision that we came up with!" he repeated.
"When did you even discuss that?!"
"So you want us to"
"Abandon Uzushio our ancestral home, run away! Escape like cowards! Yes! This is exactly what I'm saying," he said Azumo looking at the defying eyes of his children.
Seeing that the situation was taking a complicated turn due to the fiery temper of the Uzumaki the Old Ashina finally spoke with more calm and diplomatic than his son.
"We know that what we are asking is hard and that there may be other options but this is the safest for the survival of our clan…"
Kana cut her grandfather off in a hungry tone.
"Well, I guess that old age took most of the brain cells away because there is no way…"
"This time we will face the combined force of four of the five ninja villages and who knows if there will not be some of the Konoha people among them, I doubt they will let the possibility that their precious secret jutsu fall into the hands of the other force,"
"So we can just say the combined force of the five great ninja villages,"
"From what the child saw we were annihilated! We are the Uzumaki in all the ninja world there is no clan with as much vitality as us, this whole island is exclusively inhabited by us about ten thousand with half of those people are ninjas, powerful ninjas at that,"
"If we stay here we will be besieged with nowhere else to go without allies to rely on" he ended his explanation and he could see that the gravity of the situation was sinking in
"But," When Kana tried to continue to argue with her father Azuno cut in with something that left her speechless
"Do you want your son to be an orphan, right!" her face turned a little pale at those words and she had trouble responding
Ashina sent a dirty look at his son that he just pretended not to see
"And where do you want us to go, we are still gonna be hunted down once we leave if they are as determined as you say they are" asked the patriarch a little calmer
"To the land sky!" answered Azuno and it was sufficient for him to realize what those two old men had in mind
The land of Sky had just decided to get involved in the second ninja war and if what Akashi said was true, like them the land of Sky was going to be destroyed
"It will indeed be the perfect place to take over and hide until we are strong enough to resurface again,"
"You are not the patriarch for nothing my son I'm proud of you" Azuno complimented his son but it didn't make him feel good maybe it was because of the situation or maybe because he felt like the way his father said it was like you compliment a kid who did better than expected but it let a strange taste in his mouth
"And you, what are you going to do?" Kana asked them with a worried look on her face
"Well I guess this is time for us old ninjas to return to the battlefield," said the old Ashina confirming their fears and it could be seen on their faces
"Do not be sad, this is the usual fate of ninjas, this is even odd that we survived that long in that world of ours,"
After that meeting the whole island started to burst with activity everyone was soon made aware of the impending calamity approaching
Using their scrolls Azuno and and his sister Kana Uzumaki with their fellow clansmen started to empty the library, treasury, invocation scroll, food supply, medicine supply and everything necessary as ordered.
"The ships the only ways for the civilians to leave the island were all put to use as scouts using their summoning beasts flying or swimming went arrived to the land of fire, while others were used to transport others to the hiding spots of the clans Uzumaki.
Some that hadn't been used for hundreds of years were reopened.
On the side of the daimyo Azuno and his father they had gathered the other members of the clans and after explaining the situation they all started the battle preparation.
Ironically others than some select old men and women of the clan were selected to be evacuated with the young hope for the clan.
Those people were selected for their knowledge and ability to teach the future generation.
The same happened with the adult of the clan some were selected for their nurturing and reproductive quality and while the strongest were sent to escort others had to stay and fight.
At the same time, a massive production of sealing tags was started under the supervision of the old women specialist in that domain.
Akashi himself had a lot to do those last few days, follow the training regiment that his mother had started for him under the supervision of only one of Suzuna Uzumaki.
And spent the maximum of time possible with two people with he barely ever interacted before his fourth birthday his grandfather Azuno the daimyo of Uzushiogakure and his great-grandfather.
Whenever they had time those last two days they came to see them, spent a lot of time with him, and transmitted to him their knowledge of sealing technique.
His mother also came back to spend time with him in the beginning he was afraid that after his revelation their relationship was going to change but she was still as affectionate as always.
He also got to spend more time with his cousin Arima the son of Azuno and another Uzumaki woman the half-brother of Kushina and genius of the clan younger than her but older than him and one of his only friends in the clan of his age.
Things stayed as hectic as they were and on the third day one of the only times when the whole family enjoyed their time together the dreaded news finally arrived.
A young man with bright red hair appeared beside them and knelt on the place.
"Masters the coalition of forces has been spotted most of our scouts were killed, and they have already taken to the sea,"
"Understood, what about the people that you send on the mainland?!" asked Ashina
"With your warning, we were able to find and kill those white creatures and neutralize them before they got too close,"
"They indeed have incredible and stranges abilities but we were able to find them,"
"I see," Ashina got up with his son and addressed his family
"It seems that it is time for us to part ways take care of yourself", After a few warm hugs they went their separate ways
In a big and open space, the Old Ashina and his son Azuno the Daimyo of the country were assembled all claded in fighting close, even the ones who weren't ninjas, majoritarian consisting of old and adult people, all had firm expressions on their face resolute to face death.
Together they were ready to confront the forces of the ninja villages coming toward them.
****
Deep in the sea, a massive whale was swimming under the whirlpool surrounding the country of Uzushi above them were navies making their way toward their country
"Why can we go to the land of the sky using that route isn't that safer than to go through the land of fire." Asked Arima
"It would be unfortunately due to a complex situation with another sacred beast this summoning beast has to stay in his territory which is the water around Uzushio and the land of fire"
