Akashi Uzumaki

After receiving the information they needed the Daimyo Yanagi and his advisors prepared a team composed of his Samurais and the Uzumaki ninjas. 

They will be guided by some of the ninjas that came back from the front line.

Of course, they were reckless enough to send a team immediately, many things had to be considered.

It was a high-risk mission, they had to go near and probably infiltrate the battleground of the great ninja's villages. 

It was important to remember that the Uzumaki were still in a tough spot as many people were looking for them and not with good intentions, like Madara and his white zetsu, and the other nations for the debacle in Uzushio.

The other ninja's villages were to this day incapable of locating their tails beast that they had lost since the beginning of the war so it wouldn't be strange to stumble on search teams during their missions.

In the conference room 

The Daimyo his wife and the advisors were discussing the next missions. 

Akashi was seated by the side of his parents silently observing everything

He didn't have the right to voice his opinion there yet

"So most of the ninjas that have survived are still hidden in the land of fire," 

"It has been months now," 

"Five to be precise,"

"Thanks, after five months they are probably all dead or they have already been captured by now,"

"Well, I guess we are in the same boat now," one of the old Uzumaki remarked making the samurais frown.

Since their arrival, the Uzumaki used the information channel of Yanagi to hopefully locate their clansmen who were still alive.

And to this day only five had been found, but it wasn't surprising after the plan they had put in place.

It also caused displeasure from a few of the samurais as they considered it a waste of resources.

"We should focus on the fortress first,"

"From what he said it sank into the sea right," 

"I'm impressed that it managed to reach the sea, after what I heard of the battle, the structure was badly damaged, by Konoha," 

"I doubt something so massive sunk like that, we should see if the young Shinno is still alive he must have found a way to hide it somewhere after all like his father he is the one with the better understanding of the fortress," 

"We have a lot of water summon creatures, we can use them to search for where it was last sighted,"

After hours of discussion, they finally had a concrete plan for their operation, 

"The most important part of the mission was to locate and secure the fortress if there are survivors they are probably there, at the same time like for our clansmen we will search for the ninja's sky still alive and trapped in the fire nations using the information channel," 

After sending the ninjas to look for the flying fortress things in the sky nations went back to normal, and life continued its course. 

Kana, her brother Ashina, and the old clansmen continued to train the younger generation of Uzumaki while simultaniously integrating the clan in the direction of the sky country with the help of Yanagi. 

Due to the no-secret policies, the two sides were able to share many of their secrets.

While the Uzumaki share their seals and jutsu Yanagi share the sky technologies, such as the chakra armors allowing them to absorb the chakra of the enemy and his samurai technique, and many others.

All that happened under the eyes of Akashi who because of his adult mentality and his sharing was able to absorb everything like a sponge. 

While all that was happening the war between the five great village ninjas was still raging.

Everyday week or so news about the battlefield would reach the civilians. 

Tales of the exploits of promising ninjas from every nation, particularly from Konoha such as the legendary tannins, Kato Dan, and much more would be heard. 

The legendary fight between Hanzo the salamander, Chiyo the puppeteer of Suna, and The professors of Konoha.

The fastest ninja alive the Raikage Ei against the Tsuchikage and the Mizukage and so many more legends who made their name resound during that war before falling forever and never getting back up. 

It was only after four years of wars and outrageous losses on all sides that the fighting stopped.

In his underground cave, Madara and his white Zetsu continued to plot the destruction of the ninja's world and the creation of his dreams.

"Madara sama, I did how you asked," the white Zetsu said getting out of the ground.

"I found a few of them," at those words, a hole opened in the ground, and from there, a few children walked inside the cave of the old man.

A few of those children had the red hairs of the Uzumaki, others had the black and eyes of the Uchiha, there were many more children belonging to clans that didn't belong to the village ninjas but had been caught in the crossfire in that war. 

Madara had sent his creature to recruit a few young affected by the war and who now found themselves orphans. 

"Madara sama, why did you want me to find those kids, you know that if you need something I your loyal Zetsu am here," 

Madara looked at the white created overly enthusiasm with a beep frow

"Simply because you have been compromised," the old man responded 

"You told me yourself that you lost contact with a few of your clones, first in Uzushio, then it continued in the land of fire in the pursuit of the Uzumaki who escaped," 

"Now that they know of your existence, were able to escape and eliminate your clones they possess your cells, there is no saying what they will do," 

"This is why I need those children, I have decided to use them for the organization that I intend to create, they will be my eyes where you can't see, my heart where you can't listen, for the project eyes of the moon,"
