It had been six days since they took to the sea in destination to the capital of the fire country, and according to the crew, they would arrive the next day.
"That ship should be as fast as the ones in my old world if not faster, seven days so I guess, seven days of travel is not too bad, but we would already be there if we had run," he said sitting down those kinds of situation made him realized how much chakra changed things compared to the common people.
We were seated in a lotus position he took out another scroll that he unraveled on the ground in front of him and pushed away the multitude around him that he had already studied.
In a puff of smoke, a white ball the size of a fist appeared
"Let's see if it works as think, I wonder if there will be some white Zetsu there, we are in short supply now," He said closing his eyes
'I wonder how Madara will react if he learns that we are using his Zetsu as research material!'
With a clank, an adamantine chain shot out of his back and surrounded the white ball before returning to Akashi's body.
After a few seconds of concentration, he opened his eyes
He was standing on water, in front of him was a vast dark expanse of hundreds of meters.
In one thought a glowing chain appeared from his palm and a white ball made of white zetsu cells appeared.
"Sea of consciousness what an amazing place, still amazing how easily I can manipulate my chains here, this place is really magical," he said looking at the water below him
He saw the Zero-tail swimming freely in the water below
"Come here," he ordered and immediately it swam toward him
"Splash," In one jump it jumped into his left hand
"At least you look a little more like a snake than a worm now. A baby snake is still a snake," he said as it coaled around his fingers.
"Feeding you my chakra and blood was effective," Akashi could feel the connection between them grow that a link that formed between them.
'It feels like you are now really a part of me, was it because you didn't form a sense of self before the process started? Well doesn't matter as long as you're tied to me,' he thought looking at the beast wondering if he was being cruel for a second.
"I think this is time I give you a name, Zero-tail doesn't cut it anymore, are you a snake and an Eel, A snake an eel, snakeel, how about I call Snakyl," he said and it liked his arm and he could feel the satisfaction coming from it.
"You like it huh, well I guess Snakyl will be your name from now on,"
"I have something for you Snakyl," Akashi said presenting the white ball
"Eat," Akashi ordered and saw Snakyl cautiously approach and it liked it before biting into it.
After one second excitement crept in and it started to greedily devour the ball until there was nothing left.
"Was it good, you seem to have really liked it," he asked and saw
"Hiss," Snakyl turned toward him hissed, and nodded her head before doing what seemed like a yawn and started to sleep nearly immediately.
Akashi put Snakyl around his head before sitting on the water joining his hands in front of him and started to meditate.
Meditating in this space made things easier, he was able to easily connect with Snakyl who was sleeping.
He had already fed Snakyl his chakra and blood to help it grow and with the contract already established that synergy was easy to reach.
Akashi felt the yang energy being circulated, and digested before being integrated into Snakyl's essence, and with his help and the synergy between the two, the chakra was absorbed even faster.
Akashi could feel his chakra and his already massive vitality grow slightly.
He said looking at Snakily that he had taken in his hands and saw that he had already grown a bit.
"Not bad, but there is still a lot more energy left to consume;" he said and returned to his training.
"Clank, clank," After several hours of work Akashi and Snakyl absorbed all the yang energy in the cells of the white Zetsu.
Stretching out he felt more energy coursing inside him, he had more strength, and his chakra already massive for his age swelled up even more.
"Not bad, I wonder how much white Zetsu it would take to make my chakra level reach the level of Arima,"
Akashi asked he no longer compared himself to normal ninjas from the major village, even in his clan he had a massive amount of chakra and as he couldn't even read the level of power of the elders of the clan his goal became his cousin who like him had a massive amount of chakra.
"What do you think," he asked Snarkyl who was now crawling around his neck, the little snake that was barely as big as his palm, was now long enough to serve as a scarf,
"You look like a real snake, what a growth," the snake hissed joyfully
"Did you change race," Akashi suddenly asked surprising Snarkyl who looked at him puzzled
"Most of your skin is now white except for a few patches of black," he said patting him on the head
"Anyway let's test my abilities now," he said getting out of his mental space.
"Let's go," and with a thought five massives glowing chains shot out from his back and hovered above his head
"Three was the limit, now it's five," he said having them retract in his back,
He then put his palms in front and a chain shouts out from each of them.
"I can now make them come out of my hands, I think I'm the only Uzumaki that can do that," Akashi said proudly but immediately his smile faltered as he thought of the reason
As a ninja and even for him who liked to fight with katanas he needed his hands to be free so having the chains shout from the back was more practical,
"I will find a way to use it, there is always a solution to an obstacle," he then decided to continue his test by activating his Sharingan.
The scary scarlet pupil appeared in an instant.
"No change there, no fourth tomoe or nothing, not even a slight increase, no matter I will find a solution for that too,"
'Come out,' he thought as he looked inside him and a hiss sounded in the room as from his shoulder the head of the snake emerged and slowly wrapped itself around his neck.
'It works, you can really come of of my body with even more facility than my chains,' then under the excuse of playing, the snake went back into his consciousness space before getting it to come out from his palm or back for two minutes.
"Show me what else you can do, you have the chakra of a genin of the clan now, at only a few days old," he said looking at Snakyl expectantly, without realizing it he had activated his Sharingan.
Snakyl squirmed for a second in the hands of Akashi before showing its abilities, after a few seconds of intense focus one glowing chain the size of a finger shot out of its back and a second.
"Good good, this is exactly what I was hoping for, it confirms that my method is the right one..." he trailed in surprise when he saw a little plant germinated from the head of Snakyl, and his happiness and fascination increased.
"I need to try immediately," he said closing his eyes as he sat on the floor, using the connection between the two he experienced everything that Snakyl was experiencing, for a time he felt like like a snake.
After a few seconds, he put his right hand in front of him, and similar to what happened to Snakyl a small bud appeared in his hand.
"Ha-Hahahaha...." A maniac laugh resonated in the room if he hadn't isolated his room the people on the boat would have thought that their young lord had suddenly lost his mind
"Haha, I am the best, who needs a golden finger when you can create your own golden finger, granted I didn't create you by myself but I gave the idea, so it compensate."
After laughing for a few good minutes he hugs Snakyl in his arms
Getting up he shouted to the sky
"In my arms Snakyl my golden finger, you and me we will do great things together, fuck golden finger, fuck sage of six paths fuck Ashura, Indra, Marada, reincarnation bulshit Juubi and the Otsutsuki, You and me little snake we will surpass them all and leave them in the dust,"
"I will use everything that I know and will create my own legend, hahaha...."
While Akashi was laughing the little Snakyl just looked at his master and father like he had lost his mind.
