Akashi woke up when the sun was already high in the sky.

"Nearly eleven in the morning. I don't usually sleep a lot," Akashi yawns while going into the bathroom.

Washing up his little frame and shoulder-long red hair, he reminisced on last night's event.

'This premonition must have been more taxing than I realized. Or Maybe it is because of the strains caused by the activation of the Sharingan,'

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he activated Sharingan once again.

"What a strange Sharingan, is it because my pupils are naturally red?"

Contrary to the Sharingan of pure Uchiha, whose tomoe was completely dark, his between dark and red.

'You could miss it if you aren't careful, it can be an advantage.'

With that in mind, he walked out of the bathroom.

"You are finally up,"

Kana turned around with a plate of food that she placed on the dining table.

"Eat up, yesterday's event must have tired you,"

"Alright, let's eat, I am starving!" He sat down and immediately started to eat.

"Huh, you don't eat, mom?!" He asked, seeing that she was just looking at him eat with a smile

Everything here is for you, I ate before going out this morning,"

Hearing that, he realized that the Kana in front of him was a clone of his mother.

'I still can't make the difference between the real her and a clone,'

"I can't eat all that," He replied, gesturing at the mountain of food in front of him.

The Uzumaki always had a great appetite, and Akashi was no exception, but even with the stress and exhaustion caused by his premonition and the awakening of his Sharingan, he knew that he wouldn't be able to finish all the food on the table.

"Eat what you can, I will pack the rest. You will need a lot of energy for the next couple of days,"

At that moment that she said it, she felt Akashi stealthily spread his spiritual perception towards her as she had taught him.

"What do you feel?" she tenderly asked, feeling his spiritual energy around her.

'I still can't hide it from her.' he remarked.

"Nothing different from before, I still can't tell that you are a clone. Maybe it will change once I manage to use the mind eye," He responded truthfully, and she smiled at that.

"You are close it will come very soon, in the next few days probably."

"How can you tell?"

"Your chakra has grown again already at the early jonin level, and It is also denser than before. The Sharingan as that effect nothing surprising, and you were already close to reaching it."

"So my chakra has grown again, huh, I don't feel any difference, but isn't it dangerous, you told me that my chakra is abnormally massive even for a member of our family,"

'Hope I will not get sick, I don't want my body to fail me one day.' he mumbled internally, his mother had already explained that having too much chakra could create many problems, some even died because the bodies couldn't accommodate their own chakra.

While thinking about that, he remembered the cause of his new growth in chakra, and an idea sparked in his mind.

"Sharingan!" He said, stopping his mother before she could answer his previous question.

Activating his sharingan in combination with his spiritual sense.

"Whoa! I can tell that you are a clone when I combine the Sharingan with the spiritual sensing technique, I couldn't tell yesterday," remembering the few tests that they had done last to test his eyes.

"But what is that thing inside you!?" He asked, and her eyes widened at that question.

"You see that. You always find a way to impress me, my little angel." Akashi didn't realize when, but she had appeared beside him and was now ruffling his head.

After a moment, she finally calmed herself.

"Let me show you,"

With a hand seal, two shadow clones appeared in front of her in a puff of smoke, and under Akashi's surprised eyes, she punched one of them, making him disappear.

'Why did she make one just to make him disappear.'

While Akashi was wondering why she did that, a little adamantine chain far smaller than the normal one appeared from her chest and under her so surprised gazed, she grabbed the pointy tip and broke it.

"You can break them. I thought that they were indestructible. Isn't it why they are called adamantine chains?!"

Kana smiled kindly at his question.

"Those are my own special techniques," she said mischievously before putting the tip of the chain in the clone, who absorbed it without any problem.

After all that, she once again punched the clone with great strength, and yet the new clone didn'disappears

"Cool, this is why you made two clones and destroyed the first clone. How does that work? Even a clone can make others clone as strong as himself. Can you teach me that?"

Akashi threw a flurry of questions to his two mothers, who patiently answered all his questions.

After nearly an hour, Akashi was done with his meal and his question.

"I have already prepared something for your chakra problem, and this is the yin-yang seal," When Kana started to introduce the seal to him, he remembered the yin seal of Tsunade Senju that he saw in his dream, but he quickly found that they were different.

While the seal of Tsunade was made to solve her lack of chakra, the one that his mother was introducing was created to solve the excess of chakra plus the yin-yang seal was much older than Tsunade's yin seal. 

"Now that you are done eating, let's go to the sealing room so that I can apply the seal to you," she said, walking in front of him. 

"It will bring you many benefits: your control will drastically improve, help your chakra grow even though you don't need it, and when you empty your chakra, you will be able to use the seal to easily replenish, it will be done before we arrive to Konoha,"

"Konoha!" He exclaimed in surprise,

"We are going to Konoha, is it because of my dream, aren't we going to fight for Uzushio, plus, Konoha is also dangerous," Akashi had many questions he knew that she had made that decision because of his dream.m

"I have already investigated the battlefield's situation, and things may indeed be as you saw them. I have already warned my father about the danger and am actually making other preparations, but my influence is limited, but I will do my best to help," 

The two clones of Kana then turned toward him and said seriously,

"But first, you need to be safe, and you will be safe there even if it's not ideal," as they turned away, Akashi once again felt great warmth in his chest, but he didn't see the frow on their faces as he arrived in the sealing room.

"Alright, it is time to put the seal on you. It will be painful, but I know you can take it."

...

The sun was shining brightly in the market of Uzushiogakure while Kana was busy buying everything she needed for the journey to Konohagakure,

'They are still following me, how annoying.' she muttered inwardly as she felt the special force of the village follow her.

"Here, your order," a seller said, handing her a scroll

"Thanks," She replied, putting in her sleeve.

'Some things don't change, 'I didn't think that killing him would bring me so much trouble,' she thought as she walked away.

She could feel the animosity of some of the people around her, the gaze, the murmurs, the insults, and much more.

For her, that animosity didn't matter, but she didn't want Akashi to be too affected by them, this is why she didn't like to let him come into town by himself.

Other kids would have felt bad about that, but Akashi had always been too mature for his age.

She remembered why she had been exiled from the village.

When she had brought Mikado Uchiha, her husband, back to the village to present him to her father, she had felt the anger of her father. She was aware of the pain and resentment that existed between their clans, but she firmly thought that it wouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, she was wrong, after giving birth to Akashi, Mikado had to go back to Konoha, it was when he was ambushed by a powerful hero of the clan, Kira Uzumaki, who wanted to rid her father of his trouble.

When she learned it, she acted like all Uzumaki would have if one attacked their family, and she killed him here, in the center of the village.

She thought that they would understand, after all, they would've done the same in her situation, but ultimately, for them, Kira Uchiha was one of the heroes, and they couldn't accept that one of their own, their own princess, would kill him for an outsider.

She had started to hate and resent them for their hypocrisy, and yet when she learned that the village and all the inhabitants might disappear, something in her stirred.

"I want to save them, I at least want to try." She murmured, looking at all the red hairs of people around her.

They were her family, the ones that had brought her the most happiness in her life and also the most pain.

'If he doesn't want to listen to me, I will do it myself after all, I am still a princess of Uzushiogakure,'

With her decision made, she walked toward a secluded area and made a hand seal.

"Shadow clone jutsu," she said, and a shadow clone quietly appeared beside her without any sound before disappearing as if it had never been there.

"I still have a little bit of influence in this stupid village it's time to put it to use,"

"I should also see grandfather before I leave,"

With that done, she continued her shopping.

"So much to buy for tomorrow's journey,"

...

In his office, the head of the village was pondering about the dream of Akashi, but soon, his mind drifted toward a distant past, the loss of his friends, family, and love against the Uchiha.

He remembered the feeling of betrayal that he felt when his daughter had fallen in love with a Uchiha, one even younger than herself, the son of one of the elders no less, before marrying him against his wish and having a son with him.

He also how she had slaughtered one of their most promising man in the center of the village, causing great destruction, and his anger flared up again soon he dismissed the matter altogether.
