  ....

  At the door of Uzushiogakure

  The soft glow of the m sun was illuminating the vilge of Uzushiogakure.

  Akashi, who had been woken up early by his mother Kana, looked sleepily at her.

  Kana’s expression erfectly ral as she looked at the massive gate before her as if waiting for something.

  “Are you sad?!”

  At that question Kana raised an eyebrow and looked at her son a little surprised.

  “What makes you say that?” she asked seriously, after all, nothing on her expression would make him e to that clusion.

  “Well, I felt that you were sad…”

  Kana's eyes seemed to shine in satisfa when she heard that,

  ‘Soon he will awaken then,’

  “…plus isn’t it normal to be sad when you leave your home, leaving?”

  After a few seds, a sad smile appeared at the er of her lips

  “I guess so,”

  She answered calmly before looking at her right eye, it was unknown what she was looking at before smiling at her son.

  “It’s time for us to go, try to follow,” she said with a light and teasing tone before jumping on a tree branch.

  “Here I e,” The childish voice of Akashi followed as he tried to copy her movements.

  A few mier Kana and Akashi jumped out from the forest.

  “The sea!” Akashi excimed in delight

  “Why are you ag like it’s your first time seeing the sery when you e here all the time?”

  She was genuinely curious after all.

  As she rarely brought him ihe vilge, she had to find other ways to eain her son, and bringing him to the beach was one of those ways she eained him.

  “Well, I always like to e here."

  He answered sincerely

  "So who are you going to summon this time, is it the giant tortoise, the sharks, the dolphins, the seahorses, or maybe we are going to fly on the eagle, or the peli,”

  Kana just looked as he named all her summons oer the other.

  All the creatures that he had cited were summons that his mother had used to eain him at some point.While most ninja would never mao get even one summon in their lives, but not a Uzumaki.The Uzumaki had the massive chakra pool necessary for the summons, they are experts of sealing teiques and have a rich history of capturing and making tracts with strange creatures, throughout the years.

  Nearly every ninja family has at least one summon.

  "Today. You will use..." She let the sileretch for a few seds to create anticipation before.

  "Your feet!" she said curling her lips into a smile

  Standing there Akashi felt like he had been spshed with a bucket of cold water.

  "What!?"

  "You heard me."

  "My feet, like running?" He asked his smiling mother

  "Yes, like running,"

  She firmed and he felt cold at those words.

  "Oer," he asked, and Kana nodded.

  His gaze turned back toward the turbulent sea in front of him before tinuing, "With those whirlpools around?"

  "Yes." She firmed

  "You do it!"

  Akashi couldn't help but feel perplexed for a moment.

  'It will take a long time,'

  Even though he appeared cheerful and carefree right now he knew very well than the reason why they were going to Konoha was to escape death, brought by an immi attack that could potentially destroy Uzushio and having a four year old genin that barely mao properly learn water walking move betweeural barrier around Uzushiogakure would take days.

  As he was thinking that Kana talked as if she could hear his thought, she reassured him “Do not worry, we still have time before any danger arises, and even if they mao surprise me I have a way to get us to safety, still try your best.”

  Akashi his mother, deg to trust her.

  Turning around, he started to run oer with a dexterity, yet as he did, something told him that this journey would not be as peaceful as he thought.

  As he ran forward toward the whirlpool, his steps became the turbulent sea, making his progression harder, slower, and more deliberate.

  But of course it didn’t take long for him to falter.

  “Ploof,” After one wrong step, Akashi found himself ier.

  Before he could sink deep, Kana grabbed his hand and pulled him up.

  “I do that,” He enced himself before resuming his adva.

  Soon, Akashi found himself pletely drenched, yet he resumed the exercise, walking forward with his mother behind him giving him pointers and encement when he hem.

  But, after a few more steps,

  “Ploof,”

  Akashi found himself once again ier before being rescued again.

  The process repeated itself for a long time.

  At some point the sun rose high in the sky, but due to his extreme tration, Akashi didn't even notice that, at that moment, he was standing iween two whirlpools threatening to swallow him at the slightest mistake.

  His bzing red eyes ied from his mother and his sharingan from his father seemed to perfectly mixed together to give him an enhanced mastery of his chakra and perception of his surroundings.

  In the beginning, Akashi was full of fire aation, but after hundreds of falls, his fiery passion made way for a calm and quiet determination.

  He had unsciously ended up activating his sharingan and had even bi with his sensing abilities, it allowed him not only to see but also tute the chakra in his body with care, but also to feel the slightest ge in his immediate enviro.

  He no longer needed Kana to pull him out of the water, every time he fell he immediately got back up to resume his training.

  After hours of trial and error, without Akashi even realizing it, the sun that had risen high in the sky and was now about to set.

  With his mother behind him, the four-year-old Akashi walked out of the barrier of the whirlpool surrounding Uzushiogakure.

  “I did it…” Akashi said softly in an uone as he looked at his mother behind him.

  After seeing her nod in firmation, joy appeared on the face of the four-year-old boy.

  “I did it, I knew I could do it, I never doubted myself, hahaha…”

  “gratutions, I knew you could do it,” Kana, behind him, praised as she looked at her son who was jumping around like a frog with a mixture of joy, pride and amazement.

  After a few seds of happiness, the vision became blurry

  "Oh, what!?"

  Akashi's body went limp, and he lost sciousness and fell into his mother's arms.

  After hours of intense tration above the current capacities of his body, the moment he rexed the focus that kept him awake disappeared, and he fell unscious.

  “My angel! Your talent is monstrous.” She said lifting his sleeping body in her arms

  Even though she said that she khat he could succeed, the truth is that she hoped that he wouldn't succeed in that challenge.

  It ontaneous training idea that appeared in her mind at the st minute, and even though she had used a secret teique to lower the iy of the whirlpool not to make it deadly for Akashi.

  It was at a level such as even a full-fledged in would have trouble navigating those waters, a Akashi, a four-year-old kid, had succeeded.

  Of course, a lot of that could be attributed to his cheat-like abilities, such as the sharingan of the Uchiha and the extraordinary perception of the Uzumaki, it didn’t ge the fact that it was araordinary feat.

  “You were supposed to fail that one, my little angel,” she said, letting out a sigh.h

  “This way I could use that as an excuse to move to the cruel part of your training, I’m sorry love, I would have loved to push back that part but with what may be ing you o be ready,” she said to the sleeping Akashi.

  She put the sleeping Akashi on her back before swiftly moving to the nd of fire.

  ....

  Land of fire

  In an underground hideout of the Uzumaki after putting her son to bed, Kana Uzumaki arrived in a massive room.

  The only thing present in the room other than Kana was an immense aquarium taking one fourth of the room.

  After biting her finger, she let a drop of blood drip on the ground, creating a massive invocation seal.

  At that exaent, all around the world, thousands of little creatures flying, swimming, crawling, and walking that had been disseminated around the world and were monit the situation of the battlefield stopped moving and after moving to a safe pce disappeared in a puff of smoke, without attrag any attention.

  "poof, poof..."

  In an instant, hundreds of creatures appeared around Kana.

  "Those invocation rooms are really useful,"

  She sat down on the ground and released a long and tired sigh.

  Another of the reasons that she didn't use any invocation to travel is that she was already at her limit.

  She was using thousands of creatures to monitor the situation of her vilge, otlefield, and on nearly all the roads that could be used to invade Uzushiogakure at the same time.

  Even for her, that had enough chakra to pete with a tail beast, it was incredibly taxing.

  "What did you see? What did you hear?, tell me everything," She said, and the creatures slowly moved toward her.
