Chapter 3 Troubles Part 2

Turning back towards my mom and looking at her face one last time I give into the emotions in my heart and made my decision.

Mother do you think you can take me to Grandfather and Father I need to speak with them.

There's got to be a way for me to help them, I may not be powerful but I still have meta-knowledge

Hearing me my mother gets quickly flustered "I don't think you can see them right now Akashi there really busy"

Yea probably with war preparations

Damn, let's just risk it I spent my last life playing safe anyways and when I gambled my life I got this opportunity. So I say let's keep gambling.

getting serious I look into her eyes with determination beyond that of a boy. "Mother if it's because of the invasion I know. That's the reason I need you to take me to them I can help."

She is immediately stunned and unconsciously walks backward "Who told you this!"

"Mom! That's not important right now we're running out of time take me to them as fast as possible!"

Mother is again surprised with how I yelled at her especially since even in this life I've always been a quiet child that never raised his voice.

"Very well Akashi" Finally acknowledging how serious I am she picks me up and body flickers out of the room

let's just say this is one hell of an experience for someone who has never seen anything supernatural.

I can't even fathom how fast we're moving and it doesn't even take us long before we reach a large building in the middle of the village not too different than the one in Konoha.

After arriving a guard quickly ran over and greeted us Lady Mina "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see my Father as well as my husband Asahi"

getting his answer the guard offered to take us inside but my mother said she was alright and knew the way. Then body flickered once more.

- Uzushiogakure War Room -

Many men could be seen arguing and cursing their enemies while trying to find a way out of this situation.

"Damn, those bastards how dare they invade! Don't they have any pride invading us all at once!"

"Kuroko what's the situation with Konaha will they be sending us aid?"

"Lord Ashina... Konoha has decided to not aid us in this battle saying they are being held back by the great villages"

"Tch, those cowards how dare they betray us after we have aided them in each war effort and have constantly updated their barriers!"

"Lord Ashina what are we going to do we're outnumbered 5-1"

after that statement, the room was filled with panic and dread

knock knock

hearing someone at the door they quickly opened it expecting it to be more scouts with reports but saw the lord's granddaughter and great grandson. Much to everyone's surprise.

"Mina why are you here and why did you bring Akashi you more than anyone know we don't have time for this."

"Actually Father that's why I'm here Akashi found out about the invasion and said he could help and wouldn't give up till I brought him here"

hearing this everyone in the room was surprised and focused their attention on the small red hair boy in Mina's hands

- POV Switch Jutsu -

Damn, they look stressed and now I'm stressed feeling all of them look at me.

Well at least on the way here I had time to think and I have a plan. It's not exactly a solution but it is a fighting chance for more clan members to survive and possibly rebuild.

looking at my grandfather he also stares back at me as if he's trying to see through me.

"Alright, Akashi in what way can you help"

"Lord Ashina you can't possibly believe a child can help us!"

right after the outburst, a man stood up a head above the rest.

"Silence! Let my son speak if he thinks it can help then it doesn't hurt to listen" With that silence returned to the room and all eyes turned towards me.

Alright let's do this

"First I'd like to know how many shinobi we have, the number of enemies on their way, and the amount of Clan members that have the Eye Of Kagura"

an older man stepped forward around the age of my grandfather

"Hello, young master I am elder Tochio the one in charge of war personnel so I can't tell you about the eye of Kagura but I will tell you the other numbers. We have a total of 8,466 shinobi we're expecting at least 5 times that number to arrive here."

Man these are bad odds

After Elder Tochio a second elder stood up who didn't seem as old as my grandfather but was still old

"I'm Elder Denki and I'm in charge of registering those with clan abilities. In total, we have 1,022 clan members with this ability including civilians."

not bad this might work it's honestly more than I thought

"Grandfather, how many explosive tags do we have and how many more can we make within an hour?"

hearing my question my mom gave me a surprised face "Akashi you can't be planning..."

"That I am mother if those invaders feel the need to band together and harm my family for our techniques then I say we kill ten for every one we lose." I got this idea on the way here when I remembered how Konan fought Obito.

"hmm in storage we have about 12,000 and if we were to focus on their production for the next hour maybe we could get 10-15,000 more."

After Grandpa said that everyone in the room was surprised and looked back at me

"Boy, do you really plan on bombing them throughout the entire battle?" Elder Denki asked

"That's the plan at least we have to make them regret coming here and cause them more losses than gains. Maybe just maybe if they lose enough shinobi they will retreat." Classic gorilla warfare we're gonna bomb them the moment they land on the beaches all the way to the end of the battle.

"Then what about the Kages who are coming? Our Scouts Say Third Tsuchikage, Third Raikage, and the 7 tails Jinchuriki of Takigakure will be arriving."

That is a tough one Kage class opponents won't be too bothered by explosions.

"Grandfather you used to tell me stories about how our clan is so strong we can summon shinigami. Is it possible to use these shinigami against the kages?"

Everyone was left speechless they had never thought to use the death reaper seal but now that it's an option it will definitely give them an edge

My grandfather seeing we had a chance immediately stood up and gazed at all the high-ranking members of the clan.

"I want all available clan members to begin the production of explosive seals right now! Kuroko, Asahi you both are with me we will go retrieve the Shinigami masks"

"Wait grandfather before you go we should still prepare supplies for civilians to escape in case things go south and if it does the members who have the eye of Kagura will lead them away from here"

"You all heard my grandson get to it and now! We're running out of time!"

with that last statement, everyone flickered out of the room to handle their duties
