Three days have passed since then. In the three days, Tsunade and Akane roamed the area, checking various sceneries and enjoying their little date.
They took their sweet little time to take a break from their ninja life and give a rest to their mind.
It's not that they didn't spend the whole time just looking around. Tsunade also asked Akane to use his ability, as she wanted to visit different villages and using his ability, she saw various sights of different villages and how people lived there.
Not only ninjas, but also how normal people lived in the village, the difficulties they faced and how ninjas spent their time when they weren't doing a mission.
Seeing all this made Tsunade understand how narrow-minded and shallow her worldview was. She had only been watching a small part of the world, and it wouldn't be wrong to say how deep in the well she was before.
Even now, she had only seen just a part of people's lives, but that itself had given her an idea of how different yet similar people were in different parts of the world.
As for Akane, who didn't really care much about the world and only wanted to keep people around him safe, he focused on how he should move from now on, what things he had to do, and what things he had to ignore for now.
Starting with railgun power, i.e. using the concept of linear electro-magnetic accelerator to hurl an object at a very fast speed.
"I've seen lightning tear through flesh, I've felt it dance on the edge of nerves. But I want more precision. Not just to kill... but to strike from miles away."
"Silent. Instant. Clean."
"Imagine a coin. Just a coin."
"Now imagine it moving faster than sound, coated with chakra so sharp it cuts the air."
"That is my dream. No chakra beast. No explosion. Just a whisper of thunder… and death."
Those were Akane's words when he described what he wanted, and even after hearing his words, Tsunade couldn't imagine what he was talking about.
But when he showed her what exactly he had in his mind in the dream space, Tsunade's mind was blown by how fast the attack was and how much damage the attack caused.
If the concept and manual for the technique landed in the hands of Kumogakure, and even if 2-3 out of 100 ninjas could practice the technique, it would be devastating for other villages.
When she thought of this, Tsunade wondered if it was okay for Akane to create such a technique, but she thought of how difficult it is to practice, she threw the idea out of her mind and let him do as he pleased.
After all, the technique not only required good mastery of lightning chakra nature but also precise chakra control, sturdy body and some weird concepts that Tsunade didn't understand where they came from.
Besides all this, Akane didn't forget to use dream manipulation to spend quality time with his cute little fiancée, with whom he played every day and trained with her and the not-so-secret big fiancée with whom he 'played' every night and trained her.
In between their rest and training, they also found a Suna Squad and some vagabond ninjas who thought of them as randoms and wanted to loot from them, but instead got looted, and their identities were taken away by Zetsu under Akane's orders.
Now it was time for them to meet with Orochimaru since it was the fourth day of the mission, and three days were left for their mission.
Akane and Tsunade had already left for the meeting location, which they had decided on before, since they couldn't meet back in the camp. With Akane following Tsunade, they rushed towards the meeting location that was quite far from their location.
"How much do you plan on telling him?" Akane asked Tsunade, as he remembered that they hadn't discussed this before, unlike the report that Tsunade had prepared to submit three days later.
"Hmm, I didn't think of this. What do you think? How much do you want to hide? Even if you do hide, if a situation happens in the other mission, you will have to show your tricks one way or another."
Akane understood what Tsunade was talking about, and he started to think. A moment later, he decided that it wouldn't be good to hide too much, and he decided to reveal 70% of his abilities.
As for the village, he planned on revealing 30% of his abilities, most of which had been shown to Commander Nara and only jutsus were left.
"Then, should we show that I am Uzumaki?"
Akane asked the main question he had in his mind, and Tsunade looked at him as if she were looking at an idiot.
"Don't you remember what Grandma told you?" "Hmm?"
Hearing him, Akane started to think of what Tsunade was talking about, and he remembered Mito telling him about the truth about the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"High level of Fuinjutsu and Senju Blood can also use Adamantine Sealing Chains."
Tsunade nodded at the words he spoke, and she used chakra to show what he was talking about. A chain appeared from her wrist, and looking at the chain, Akane nodded and muttered, "This will back the words spoken by grandma."
"Yeah, this is the reason why Grandma asked me to learn this technique even if I won't use this, as it doesn't suit my style."
A chuckle escaped Akane's lips, and he understood that Mito had also paid quite a bit of attention to make sure their identity wouldn't be given away before talking about his coming to Konoha.
"Well, well, this makes things easier, and when grandma would talk about me as Kushina's Fiancé, this would also strengthen her words and support her, even if she doesn't need this much."
"Yeah, but when she won't be with us. We will have to face many things that we are ignoring right now." Tsunade spoke with a serious look on her face. She knew that sooner or later, Mito would have to transfer Kurama to Kushina, and even if they could delay it, Tsunade knew Mito had already made plans about this and had already timed everything according to the plan she had in her mind.
"Do you think this can be stopped?"
"You already know this, Tsuna." Akane didn't sweeten his words and told the truth to Tsunade, of which she was already aware. She looked at Akane, who also had a serious expression, and a sigh escaped his lips.
"Some things need to go for some things to come."
A quote she had read before came to her mind, and when Akane heard her words, he replied, "Yeah, but with absolute strength, we can resist changes to a certain level, unless that's a certainty for continuation."
Hearing him, Tsunade looked at Akane. The look on her face told Akane that she wanted him to talk more about what he said, but Akane just shook his head and replied, "Nothing, just some random words that came to my mind. Consciously, I didn't think anything, but some complex thought process must have gone on in my subconscious about these words."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at his 'complex' expression and said, "Just say No if you don't want to talk about the topic."
Akane just chuckled at her words and shook his head. If only Tsunade knew that Akane really didn't think much when he spoke the words, but he was really sure that some complex thought process had gone on in his subconscious.
