"So, your Kekkai Genkai is related to dreams, huh!" Mito said appearing in the place and Akane just smiled and didn't say anymore.
She wanted to ask where he lived, but she knew that he wouldn't tell her.
"Pull your mother here too as I want to talk with her," Mito said with a flicker in her eyes, and a conflicted look appeared on Akane's face.
"You haven't told her about this?" Mito understood what he was thinking as she saw the conflicted look and he said, "I want to control the ability and give her a surprise to her. I was planning to look for a way to contact you, but I contacted Kushina and forgot about this matter."
A strange look appeared on Mito's face as she looked at Kushina who sighed at his words, and she understood that Akane was hiding something that Kushina didn't want her to know.
"Then, isn't this a good time?" Mito said with a smirk on her face. She wanted to meet his mother and see if he was really speaking the truth and Akane was aware of her intentions.
A sigh escaped his lips and he pulled his mother in the dream.
"Mm? Aka-chan?" Kana muttered as she looked at her son and then the surroundings. She looked at the old and young Uzumaki in the place and a frown appeared on her face.
"Aka-chan, what is this?" Kana asked as she appeared beside Akane and stood between him and Mito. Looking at Uzumaki, Mito was sure that Akane had spoken the truth and she said, "I am Mito Uzumaki, Nice to meet you, Young Uzumaki."
A strange look appeared on Kana's face and she snorted in response.
"Mito-Sama? You? Are you looking for death? How dare you impersonate her with your old and wrinkled face? Being an Uzumaki, do you not even know that we have long lives and can use chakra to delay ageing and look young with the Seal?"
"Everyone knows that even if Mito-Sama lives for 100 years, she will look like a woman in her prime?"
Kana said and Akane pulled her with an embarrassed look on his face. After all, he knew that the old woman was Mito, and even Kushina was stunned by the words.
As for Mito, she looked at Kana with an amused smile on her face.
"Haha, how long has it been since I met a proper Uzumaki? It feels good to know that someone remembers so much about me."
Mito said with a laugh and she used the chakra in her seal, her appearance started to change with the wrinkles on her face disappearing and her face and appearance returned to how she was in her prime.
"Young one, what do you think now? Do I look like Mito Uzumaki in your mind?" Mito said with a chuckle and she wiped a tear from her eyes.
"M-Mito-Sama? Am I dreaming?" Kana said as she pinched her cheek and Mito chuckled at her actions. She looked at Akane, and unlike before when she looked at him coldly, the look in her eyes became gentle and said, "You are indeed dreaming but a different type of. As for rest, you can ask your Aka-chan and he will explain to you."
Akane's eye twitched at the nickname and they heard Kushina's muttering, "A-Chan is much better."
Akane rolled his eyes at her words and he explained 'everything' to his mother. In the end, his ears were twisted, making Akane yelp in pain, and he rubbed his butts, which were hit twice by her.
Mito's comment about the wooden stick made Akane roll his eyes and with a huff, he disappeared from the place and ignored them.
A worried look appeared on Kana's face as she saw him disappearing but when Kushina also disappeared, she understood that he gave her and Mito time to catch up.
"Aka~Chan~!" Kushina called his name while singing it like a song, and Akane looked at her.
"Kushina, do you have any friends at Academy?" Akane asked with a flicker in his eyes and Kushina frowned at her name instead of her nickname.
"A-chan, why do you ask so?" She asked as Kushina didn't have a friend and his next words made her narrow her eyes.
"Do you have a girl named Mikoto Uchiha in your class?"
Kushina looked at him with her eyes narrowed and she asked, "Why do you ask about her?"
"Like you, I entered her dream but didn't contact you like her. Since we met, it must be some fate so I want you to become friends with her. I can't be with you all the time, and every night, so I want you to have friends in Konoha too."
Akane said with a thoughtful look on his face and Kushina hmphed in response. But, she didn't deny his words as she knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep in the Academy anymore.
'Or maybe I could,'
Kushina thought with an idea appearing in her mind and she decided to test it later.
"I will try, but Uchiha?" Kushina asked with a frown on her face and Akane looked at her.
"Are you becoming friends with her because she is a Uchiha?" Akane asked and Kushina shook her head.
"Then why do you care that she is a Uchiha?" Akane asked and Kushina looked down with a thoughtful look on her face. She saw Akane turning and then they appeared beside Kana and Mito.
"Did you have a good talk, Kaa-chan?" Akane said as he looked at Kana smiling from ear to ear, and she nodded at his words
"Aka-chan, you should have told me about this ability before. With this, we can locate the Other Uzumaki in the world and bring them to a safe place."
Kana said with a gleam in her eyes and Akane stared at Mito, who had a gentle smile on her face.
"It wasn't my plan," Mito said as she looked at Akane staring at her, and Akane shrugged in response.
"Have you used the ability on someone else?" Mito asked with a thoughtful look on her face and Akane nodded a moment later.
"I did enter Nawaki's dream and he was sleeping in the library in the dream. So, I read the books he had read and started to practice Miss Tsunade's Technique."
"Oh? The Adamantine Fist?" Mito asked with a curious look on her face, and she thought of Nawaki who slept even in a dream with an irk look in her eyes.
"Adamantine Fist? But it can also be used to increase strength, right?" Akane asked as he thought of what was written on it, and Mito nodded in response.
"It was a technique I made in past to break someone who had good regeneration, it a pity that it needs other techniques to work completely. The one you read is just a small part of Chakra Enhancement and Yang release."
"If you are interested in it, I can teach you or you can pull Tsunade here and let her teach you."
A thoughtful look appeared on Akane's face as he heard the words and Kana flicked his head.
"Why are you thinking so much? Since Mito-Sama built the technique, she would know far more than Tsunade-Hime. You should thank her for the favour." Kana said with her eyes narrowed and Akane looked at her. This is the reason why he didn't want to involve his mother in this.
After all, she has traditional values, unlike him who might have just called Tsunade 'Tsunade'.
"Thank you, Mito-Sama," He said to Mito, who chuckled as she noticed the pained look in his eyes.
"You can call me grandma, like Kushina." She said, and Akane murmured in a low voice, "With that face?"
"Aka-chan?" Kana said with a smiling but not-so-smiling look on her face and Akane looked at her.
"I have used up my energy, so I will end this."
He said and before they could say anything, the world cracked and they appeared back in their sleep. Kana and Mito woke up instantly, and a chuckle escaped their lips as they thought of Akane's reaction.
As for Kushina, she murmured in sleep and slept with a peaceful smile on her face.
Akane had an irked look on his face as he knew that the future days would be the same as today, and now, even in his dreams, he would be bullied by them.
'Still, I can look for Uzumaki, but what to do with Nagato? He must have his eyes replaced by Madara and if he is brought in Konoha, then it would be troublesome.'
'In the same manner, if he stays somewhere else with other Uzumaki, or if Kaa-chan decides to bring Uzumaki here, we all will be in trouble. Madara might even kill us all or kill the people who want to take him away.'
Akane thought with a frown on his face and an idea appeared in his mind.
'What if I let Black Zetsu and Kaguya meet? If I have control over Black Zetsu because of Kaguya, then I will know of Madara's movements.'
Thinking of this, Akane decided to act immediately and pulled Kaguya into a dream.
"Mm?" Kaguya opened her eyes with a light hum. After all, they had already met today, and she saw Akane staring at her.
"I need your help," Akane said and Kaguya tilted her head as she didn't understand how she could help him.
"Do you remember the Yin-Yang will you created before you were sealed?" Akane asked and Kaguya remembered that she did create something like that.
"Is it still alive?" Kaguya asked with no care in her tone and Akane nodded with a surprised look on his face.
"Mm, so? What do you want from me?" Kaguya asked with a flicker in her eyes, and Akane said, "I will pull it in the dream, and I want you to tell him to follow my orders as he does yours."
"My life will be in danger, and I want it to be my informant. Do you want to listen to the whole story?" Akane said with a thoughtful look on his face and Kaguya nodded at his words.
She wouldn't deny that she wasn't curious about his circumstances. Besides, she didn't have anything else to do, so it wouldn't hurt to listen to him. Kaguya didn't know that she had started to get curious about him, and when he asked for her, she didn't think of denying him and just wanted to know what she could do.
Akane looked at Kaguya for a moment, and noticing the curiousness in her eyes, he smiled. He explained the story of Madara and Hashirama, and how Madara has awakened Rinnegan and plans to use a Uzumaki to keep it for the future.
He also told about how he is also a Uzumaki, and how he would be in danger if Madara got to know about them.
"Then, wouldn't it be better to leave that little kid alone?" Kaguya asked with a thoughtful look on her face and Akane rolled his eyes at her words.
"I won't answer this question as it is one of the major defects in you. You have been alone for most of your life so you don't understand that it isn't as simple as that."
"What you said isn't wrong considering your perspective but others might find it wrong. In any case, I can't do it, and this is why I am here to ask for your help."
"If I had decided to leave and abandon him, I wouldn't have come here to ask for your help."
Kaguya looked at Akane as she heard the words and pondered over them. She didn't understand what he meant, and looking at her thoughtful face, Akane smiled as he understood that Kaguya had started to change and accept his words.
"You can call Black Zetsu here and I will talk to him," Kaguya said a moment later as she didn't find any answer to his words and Akane nodded in response. He thought of Black Zetsu and soon a black body appeared in the place.
"Zetsu," Kaguya looked at the black being and hearing the voice, Black Zetsu shivered.
"Mother?" He said as he turned back and saw Kaguya staring at him with an expressionless look on her face.
"Even after 1000 years, you haven't been able to revive me, Zestu. I am disappointed by you," Kaguya said with her eyes full of disappointment and Black Zetsu's expression changed at her words.
"Since you haven't been able to do anything, I have chosen someone else. From now on, you will follow his words as if they are mine and help him."
Kaguya said as she pointed at Akane, who waved his hand to Black Zetsu.
"From now on, sleep at night, and I will give you the orders just like today. If I don't, then it means I am busy with Kaguya-Sama, and relieving her boredom by staying with her."
Akane said to Black Zetsu and before he could say anything, he sent him away. He then looked at Kaguya, who stared at him and a chuckle escaped his lips.
"Will he betray you ever?" Akane asked, and Kaguya looked at him for a moment and shook her head.
"I don't know. It shouldn't be possible," Kaguya said with a flicker in her eyes and she continued, "Do you have time?"
"Mm? A few hours," He said and Kaguya's eyes gleamed in response.
"Then," She said as she looked in the direction of the cafe and a chuckle escaped Akane's lips as he looked at her expression.
"What do you want to watch, Kaguya~?" He asked with a smiling expression and Kaguya looked at him. They stared at each other and a moment later, Kaguya said, "Horimiya."
"Haha, Again?" Akane said with a laugh and he heard her say, "You are the Akane Yanagi in it, right?"
"No, I am not," Akane said while shaking his head and he won't deny that he was surprised when he found out that he looked like Akane but with good eyes. Kaguya didn't say anything else and she walked inside the cafe.
Looking at her back, Akane's eyes flickered and with a grin, he walked inside the cafe and accompanied her.
