Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Years later kinoe clan

A/N: The image that I have in my head for Akashi is similar to Alone from Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas with red hair and eyes. I particularly love the clothes.

...

Three years later 

Land of hot water.

"So this is the land of hot water, huh?" A white ninja cat said as it made its way through the forest. 

"It looks awfully a lot like the land of fire, I saw no hot water since I arrived here, this fucking master of mine is just a slave trader, why did he send me all the way here, it's not fair..." 

The ninja cat complained loudly and for a long time as it approached its destination.

A few hours later the ninja cat arrived at the valley of hell.

The place was filled with a near-permanent dark reddish fog, giving it a terrifying appearance. Strange, howling sounds could be heard from the valley from time to time, and with the disgusting and hardly breathable putrid smell coming from there, the valley of hell was a place everyone avoided.

"What a dreadful place, no wonder this devil wanted me to come here, he is just looking for his real home," the ninja cat sighed dramatically.

The cat's name was white, and he was assigned to Akashi by his grandfather. That cat was like an official card to the Uchiha clan.

"Well, time to get to work," it said bending down.

"Coff, coff," with a few coughs, the cat spat out a small glowing adamantine spearhead.

With a burst of chakra, the spearhead started to move as chains sprouted from it. In an instant, the chains formed a square, and a transparent barrier appeared around it.

Wiiiii

In the center of the square three red tomoe sharingan appeared before. 

Poof 

In a puff of smoke, three people with red hair appeared.

"Woah, we are really there, young master your technique is really effective, your mastery over the flying thundergod of Konoha and the Uzumaki sealing chains is getting better and better," 

A sixteen-year-old Uzumaki boy named Naoya shouted, his voice filled with praise.

In the past three years, Akashi had spent most of his time studying and training.

His memory of his past life gave him an incredible advantage over others.

With his memories of multiple anime from his past life, he developed multiple training fighting styles and techniques.

Bang 

Before Akashi even responded, Maya, the other Uzumaki, struck Naoya on the head.

"You crazy woman, why did you do that?"

"How dare you? Can't you see that this technique is inspired by our summoning jutsu and our clan pocket dimension jutsu," Maya scolded 

"Well, it's not my fault that the two jitsu look similar!"

"They aren't similar at all. The flying thundergod jitsu is geared mostly towards combat, while our pocket dimension jutsu is much more utilitarian and has many more variants. Plus, contrary to the flying thundergod jitsu, which few can use, our pocket dimension jutsu can be used by many more of our people..."

'They are similar!' Akashi on the side thought

As they continued to quarrel, a frown appeared on Akashi's handsome face.

'They are noisy, why do I have to endure that? You could have at least assigned me a quieter escort old man,' Akashi complained in his heart that he had to endure those two.

While his two teammates were busy fighting Akashi started to walk toward the valley of hell.

As he slowly strolled forward the small white cat jumped onto his shoulder.

"By the way..." Akashi said, slowly turning his head, "Who were you calling a devil earlier?" 

Turning its head, White found Akashi's crimson eyes locked on him. "Do you want to end up on my experimental table?" Hearing that the white cat shuddered a little.

"Sorry, oh great master, it won't happen again," it said apologetically before leaving Akashi's shoulder to find refuge in his massive sleeves.

"Young master wait for us!" The shouts of his two guards running towards him resounded as he made his way in the red mist.

Hours later 

"How long are we going to continue walking like that? It has been hours now. 

Are you sure that people are really living here? I mean it smells like a dump...

Are you ignoring me? Sir? Young master?"

Bang 

"Shut up, stop complaining, you are so noisy, what kind of ninja are you? Maya shouted, hitting Naoya, and soon they were having another argument.

'So noisy! They have too much energy for me,' Akashi thought

 After five years spent mostly only with his mother and then another three spent mostly studying and training, Akashi could now be considered quite introverted.

For him, having to interact with those two ultra-extroverted people was quite the chore, and worst of all, most Uzumaki were like that.

"Ninjas!"

Feeling people with chakra appear at the edge of his perception. Akashi let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally,"

The appearance of those people will allow him a moment of respite from those two incessant chatters.

"Stop arguing, the ninjas of the Kinoe clan are coming. They are about three kilometers from here."

"Yes!"

The two replied, getting in a fighting stance.

"It looks like you were right young master, the ninjas of the Kinoe clan are still here," 

Naoya said 

"And we are surrounded," 

The ninjas of the Kinoe clan used the cover of the red mist to sneak up on Akashi and his companion. It was obvious that they had adapted well to the environment here.

If they didn't have their impressive perception, the Uzumaki wouldn't have realized they were surrounded.

Without any warning, a red kunai hidden in the red mist flew straight at Akashi's head. Another ninja would've had his head pierced before he could react or even see the attack coming.

Unfortunately, they were against Akashi.

Lifting one finger he shot out a glowing projectile that deflected the hidden kunai.

"It is your only warning leave this place now,"

A raspy and threatening voice sounded from every side.

"Are you members of the Kinoe clan?" Akashi asked calmly ignoring the threat 

"Of course you are!" Akashi said responding to his own question as he felt the fluctuation in the emotion of the ninja around him at his words 

"My name is Akashi Uzumaki and I am here to make you an offer, on behalf of my clan."

Before he could make his offer 

"They know who we are!!"

"Kill them!"

Woosh

Thousands of red colored kunai flew straight toward Akashi under the cover of the red mist, threatening to turn him into a porcupine.

"Careful master!"

The two shouted in unison, ready to intervene, but before they moved, Akashi lifted his hand. 

Woosh 

Thousands of glowing chains burst out of Akashi's sleeves 

Clank, clank, clank... 

The chains surrounded the three Uzumaki and deflected all the projectiles coming their way before disappearing.

You didn't need to look with particular attention to see that that move was inspired by Orochimaru's hidden snake hand, that move could be called.

 "Hidden chains hand"

But contrary to Orochimaru, who used some form of summoning jutsu, Ajashi used his Kekei Genkai, the adamantine sealing chains.

They had just stopped the first attack when 

Woosh 

"Blood dragon"

Under the eyes of the three Uzumaki, a massive blood red dragon hidden by the mist appeared in their field of vision.

"You have really mastered your environment to perfection," Akashi said as a massive spinning drill burst out from his back toward the blood dragon.

The moment the attack collided 

Puff

The blood dragon was destroyed without much difficulty. 

It wasn't really surprising after all the adamantine chains of the Uzumaki are sturdy enough to restrain even the tail beast, so a simple water dragon was child's play.

"This is getting bothersome. I'm not even here to fight,"

Akashi sighed nonchalantly, seeing that the Kinoe ninjas were already preparing another wave of powerful ninjutsu.

"Wait until they see that you have the sharingan, they are going to lose their shit," Naoya joked before being smacked by Maya.

'What a violent woman,' Akashi thought 

"Do you want us to intervene young master,"

Maya asked proactively always ready to help.

"No need," Akashi responded looking at the ninjas that had launched their attacks.

"Blood needles"

"Blood shurikens,"

"Blood dragons,"

"..."

BOOM BOOM BOOM 

The sounds of massive explosions resounded in the valley of hell.

Even a kage-level ninja would need to avoid those attacks if they were directed 

When the attacks of the Kinoe ninjas crashed onto Akashi and his escort.

"Did we get them?" The ninjas of the Kinoe clan asked themselves 

"Yes, I don't feel their chakra anymore and we had blocked all of their escape routes,"

Another responded, from his response it was obvious that he was a sensory ninja.

Only a few with good instinct felt that something was wrong and stayed on alert, and they were right because in the next instant 

Crack, woosh

From the ground, thousands of glowing chains burst out from all sides.

Clank clank clank

"Scatter!!"

Someone shouted, but before they could react, multiple ninjas of the Kinoe clan ended up on the ground, tightly bound like sausages.

"What is that?"

'Those are the chains from earlier,' one of the ninjas who had escaped quickly realized that those chains that burst from the ground were the same chains that Akashi used to deflect their first wave of attack.

A gust of wind blew the red mist and clouds of dust away, revealing Akashi and the two others protected in a square barrier.

The ground all around the barrier had been completely devastated while the barrier remained completely intact.

"You!"

"Free our brothers quickly!" one of them shouted, and the others immediately sprang into action.

But the moment they touch the glowing chains.

Clank

Other chains shout out and tightly bound the ninjas that touch them.

Forcing them to stay away and abandon their comrades or risk being captured too.

At the end, about 75% of the Kinoe ninjas were captured. 

That fight ended in less than ten minutes.

"So are you ready to listen now or do you need more,"

Akashi said and as they saw his sharingan another wave of anger surged in their heart, some were about to attack when 

"Argh," the screams of their companions being slowly crushed and dragged towards Akashi's barrier quickly sobered them up.

"Stop! We... We are ready to listen, we will give you an audience, please calm down," 

One of the leaders of the Kinoe ninjas said hurriedly.

Naoya and Maya, behind Akashi, just looked at each other and laughed helplessly. They were sent here to protect and support Akashi, but he didn't seem to need their help at all.

"You are the one who needs to calm down. We could have avoided all this trouble if you were just willing to listen. I did not want to start our collaborate on the wrong foot, but you did not leave me much choice... Now guide me to your leader,"
