Listening to her story, Kaguya had no change in her expression and she looked at Akane who knew most of the events happened in the past.
"Since you know this, why are you here? From what you said, I am a demon who wants to end the world, right?"
Kaguya said and Akane looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. He felt that Kaguya in front of him was different than what he had imagined, and Akane said, "Mm, that's how you sound to be. But, I am curious about why would you do so when you have a whole world in your palm?"
Kaguya looked at Akane and didn't answer his question. Akane understood her silence as rejection and he shrugged.
"Anyways, I just was interested in seeing you, which I have done and it's time for me to leave."
Akane said with a thoughtful look on his face and Kaguya froze at his words.
"Leave?" She said while looking at Akane, who said, "Don't you want me to leave? I will leave then."
"Huh? Who said?" Kaguya said instantly and Akane looked at her.
"The faint pressure increasing on me and the cracks spreading around, isn't it because you want me to leave?"
Akane said and Kaguya looked around. She noticed that most of the place had been cracked and a strange look appeared on her face.
"You are too weak," She said, making Akane deadpan at her and he waved his hand.
"I will leave now since I can't hold on anymore. I will come here again later, and if you are still the same, then I won't appear here again."
Akane said and before Kaguya said anything, he disappeared from the place. The space around Kaguya changed, and on the moon, Kaguya opened her eyes with a frown on her face.
The familiar powerless feeling and the dark place made Kaguya frown and she thought of what Akane said before.
"Control? Me?" She muttered as she thought of his words, and a few moments later, Kaguya closed her eyes and tried to access the same place. But, nothing happened, and she understood that everything would depend on him.
Akane opened his eyes with a weird look in them. Thinking of the conversation between him and Kaguya, Akane sighed as he got nothing from her.
"I made a contact that I wanted to," Akane muttered as he thought of his initial goal that was fulfilled and now he just needs to pay a visit to her from time to time and increase her longing.
The method might have been frowned on by Akane if he was in his previous world, where he had various morals and rules restricting him, but here, in this world where he could be killed anytime, Akane didn't have time to care about the methods.
If he could get Kaguya to be his Sugar, then he wouldn't mind using his ability to make her long for him.
While his spiritual energy recovered, Akane used the time to practice his calligraphy and wait for his energy to recover.
A few hours later, Akane, who had ended his practice, decided to use the dream again. But, this time, instead of contacting Kushina or Kaguya, he pulled Nawaki into an illusion and made his dream of studying in the Library in Senju Estate.
In the library, Akane noticed that many of the scrolls were blank since Nawaki didn't know about them, and the scrolls he got were about Tsunade's Chakra Enhancement and how her punches actually worked.
Reading the scroll, Akane had a thoughtful look on his face as he had thought that Tsunade had a strong body and used Chakra Enhancement to attack.
But reading the scroll, he understood that it wasn't just chakra enhancement and strength, but a whole ass technique that required chakra control and chakra transformation.
"Yang Release, huh! I guess it's understandable since Akimichi do similar things but they use fat and increase their size,"
"As for Tsunade, she can use Yang release instantly, unlike them who need to build up and increase their size,"
Akane muttered as he thought of what he knew, and he checked the other scrolls. Besides them, he got some Water and Earth Release techniques, which he ignored for now since he didn't know his affinity.
"Why is there no book on Sensory Perception? Even if he hasn't, he should have read one or two but it seems he hasn't,"
Akane said with a frown on his face, and he looked at Nawaki, who slept even in a dream. A sigh escaped his lips as he started to read and remember Tsunade's chakra enhancement while thinking of the Yamanaka Clan, who must have Sensor Techniques.
He didn't know that because of his words, Kushina couldn't sleep for the whole night and in the morning, she looked at the clock with a dull look in her eyes.
"Stupid me, how could I believe a stupid dream? Because of that, I couldn't even sleep so how could I have a dream?"
Kushina muttered with an annoyed look on her face and she didn't understand behaviour anymore.
She went to the bathroom to take a bath and clear her thoughts away, and after having her breakfast, she left for the Academy.
But, because she couldn't sleep last night and now had to listen to the boring lecture, Kushina couldn't control herself and slept on the table.
Akane, who had just finished his exercise, checked on Kushina, Nawaki and Kaguya.
He found out that Kushina and Kaguya were asleep and he entered Kushina's dream.
"A-CHAN!"
Hearing the shout, Akane turned around and saw Kushina running towards her with an annoyed look on her face.
"Stupid A-chan, what did you mean when you said to meet tonight? I couldn't sleep the whole night."
Kushina said with a blaming look on her face and Akane looked at her. He tilted his head and asked, "When do we meet?"
"Huh?" "I am saying, do you know when we meet? It's either when you are sleeping or when you are dreaming about me."
"Since you couldn't sleep, how do you expect me to come to you?" Akane said with a playful smile on his face and Kushina froze at his words.
"Ah? I am dreaming? I slept in Academy?" Kushina said with her eyes widened and she saw Akane nodding at her.
"Mm, you are sleeping and I am in your dream. When you wake up, I will disappear and maybe, when you sleep and dream of me, I might appear."
Akane said with a flicker in his eyes and Kushina looked down at his words. She understood that everything was just in her mind and there was no A-chan or Akane in the world.
"T-Then, everything is my imagination?" Kushina asked with some tears in her eyes, and Akane couldn't tease her anymore.
"Just kidding," He said and Kushina's face was frozen by his words.
"But, will you keep everything I say, a secret? If you told anyone, I will know and then I won't talk to you anymore."
Akane said with a plan in his mind, and Kushina's eyes gleamed at his words.
"Secret? What secret?" She asked with a curious look on her face and Akane had to say that girls and women could change faces in a split second.
"First promise me," He said and Kushina nodded at his words.
"Pinky Promise," He said with a flicker in his eyes and Kushina laughed at his words.
"A-chan, do you really believe it?" Kushina asked as he pointed her pinky and intervened with him.
"Pinky Promise for years, if you break the promise, I will never talk to you," Akane said as he knew that these types of things would have more impact on Kushina than some simple words, and Kushina repeated his movements.
"Actually, I am real and the reason why I can meet you like this is because of my ability. Whenever I sleep or use the ability, I appear in other's dreams and if I make contact with them, I can appear in their dreams or pull them in dreams to be with me anytime."
Akane said while looking at Kushina, who froze at his words.
"You are real? Where are you?" She asked, ignoring the other words and Akane said, "I am not in Konoha or Land of Fire. My mom left Uzushiogakure before the thing happened there and I am living on a small island."
Kushina's expression changed as she heard the words and she looked down with a sad look on her face.
"It's okay, you have Mito-Sama with you and maybe others, and I have my mother. Besides, we have become friends now, haven't we?"
Akane said while patting her head and she froze at his action. Her face turned red and with a hmph, she turned her blushing face away.
"You are right, we are friends." She said in a low voice and Akane chuckled at her Tsundere behaviour.
"How cute~!" He said the words that would make any Tsundere flustered and it was the same for Kushina, who blushed at his words and hmphed again.
"Even though we can't meet outside since we are far away, we can meet here without any worries, right? No one will find us or disturb us but only if you are sleeping at your house."
"Kushi-Chan, I will be contacting Mito-Sama later, will it be alright with you?" Akane said with a gleam in his eyes and her expression changed at his words,
"Grandma? Why?" Kushina asked and Akane looked down in response.
"Do you remember I talked about Kagura's Mind Eye? It's because of that. I said that I needed to surprise Kaa-chan but that's not the only reason."
"I want to awaken it because it can allow me to sense if any Ninja arrives on the Island. The world outside isn't safe and since we are Uzumaki, if any Ninja finds us, they will try to kidnap or kill us."
Akane said with a frustrated look on his face and Kushina looked down as she heard them. She didn't need to worry about her safety in Konoha, and she wanted to ask if they could come to Konoha.
But, Kushina stopped herself since no Uzumaki had arrived in Konoha beside her, and she had a bad feeling regarding this matter.
"Then, you don't need to contact grandma, I will ask her and read the records. When I am done, I will tell you in the dream."
"Eh? Will you?" Akane asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Of course, since we are friends and you are Uzumaki, I am not doing anything wrong by telling you all this."
"Besides the Kagura's Mind Eye, do you want anything else? Just tell me and I will help you if I can."
Kushina said while patting and puffing her non-existent chest and her actions made Akane chuckle.
"You really are so cute," He said as he pinched Kushina's cheeks playfully, and she froze at his actions.
"W-What a-are y-you doing?" Kushina said as she slapped his hand, and then her expression changed.
"Ah- I-I didn't mean it," She said as she looked at Akane's downcast expression, which turned into a teasing one and she understood that she was teased by him.
"A-chan, you are very bad," Kushina said as she looked at laughing Akane, who couldn't hold on anymore and continued to laugh.
"Ehhhh!" She rushed at him to attack him in embarrassment but then they heard someone calling Kushina.
"Kushina, wake up."
"It seems your teacher has found you," Akane said and a disappointed look appeared on Kushina's face.
"A-chan, we will meet again, right?" She asked in a tone full of expectations and Akane smiled at her.
"We will meet again for sure, Kushi~chan~" Akane said playfully and the Kushina's expression changed at the nickname.
Before she could say anything, the space around her changed and Kushina opened her eyes.
