"Grandma, can we also go outside?" Makoto asked, ignoring Kishimo, and Mito looked at her with a thoughtful look on her face.
"I will try and see if I can do something about it. You would have to hide your hair if you want to come to Konoha," Mito said with a gentle smile on her face, and Makoto nodded at her words.
"Can I also come? I don't want to become Ninja but just live there as a civilian," She said with her eyes flashing, and Mito nodded at her.
"You don't need to worry. I can at least do this for you," Mito said with a sigh, and she looked at Kishimo, who shook his head. He was happy with his peace, and if there was one thing that he didn't like, it would be his sister, who didn't let him be lazy.
"Aunt, please make sure that Kishi won't be lazy when I will leave,"
Before Kishimo could think of his happy life, his bubbles were burst by Makoto, and he saw her snickering at his expression.
"Mm? You don't need to worry. Since Akane will leave, someone has to do his work, and Kishi will do it, Right? Kishi?" Kana asked with a smile on her face, and Kishimo nodded like a hen pecking grains.
Mito chuckled as she looked at Kishimo and Kana's relationship, and she could see that Kishimo respected Kana a lot.
"Mina, what about you?" Mito asked, but Mina shook her head.
"I am happy and satisfied with my current life," Mina said with a smile on her face, and the only matter she was worried about was her daughter's feelings for Akane.
To be honest, she understood why her daughter would develop a crush on him, and she knew that it was the same for Honoka and even Makoto.
After all, he was their light in the darkness and prevented them from living a life that could be worse than death.
'Even I, Iya! Iya! What's wrong with you, Mina? You are already grown up aunt, you can't think of these matters.'
Mina shook her head as she removed the thoughts from her mind. She didn't expect to have these thoughts in her mind, but when she remembered how long Uzumaki could live, a sigh escaped her lips as she thought of her life in future.
'Anyways, I have a sister-like friend, a cute daughter, and others. Why do I worry so much?'
Mina thought in her mind with a soft smile appearing on her face. The group became silent, and they all waited for Akane, Shizuka and Honoka to come back.
"What do you think he would say?" Kishimo whispered to Makoto, who tilted her head and said, "You are a boy here, shouldn't you tell? How would I, a girl know how to handle them?"
"Tsk," Kishimo clicked his tongue as he looked at the ridicule Makoto showed to him.
"Hmph, if you keep on living like this, it will be difficult for you to get married."
"Heh, who wants to get married? I am going to be a bachelor forever and enjoy my life," Kishimo retorted back. but then he froze as he became aware of the situation he was in. He saw Mina, Kana and Mito staring at him with a smile on their faces, but Kishimo knew that they weren't smiling at all.
"Idiot," Makoto cursed Kishimo with a funny look on her face, and she knew that he would get beaten tomorrow.
Kishimo, who was about to be ready to listen to a lecture, opened his eyes. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Older women, who had their focus on something else, and Kishimo praised Akane for coming at the right time.
"Kishi, meet me tomorrow in the training ground," Kana said with an amused look in her eyes as she looked at Kishimo sighing in relief, and he froze at her words.
"Haha~!" Makoto snickered at Kishimo and then looked at Shizuka and Honoka, who had happy smiles on their faces.
She wanted to ask what he said, but she knew that this wasn't the correct time.
'I will also later,' She thought in her mind and looked at Akane, who had a weary look on his face.
'Heh, I don't think they would be the last ones,'
She chuckled as she thought of Akane's future life and him surrounded by many troubles, and maybe, she would also be one of those troubles who wouldn't let him have a silent and peaceful time.
The group continued to talk about the random things, and in between, Mito's clone dispersed on her own. Looking at the empty place, Akana used Kagura's Mind eye, and he noticed that the other clones were working perfectly.
"It seems granny dispersed on her own," Akane said and their expression changed. Only then did they remember that they were talking with a Shadow clone, and Makoto muttered, "Second Hokage really created an Amazing Technique."
"Mm, he did." Akane nodded at her words, and it became one of the hax of the ninja world.
A few moments later, they all heard a buzz and only then did they notice a tag left on Mito's chakra, and Akane picked it up. His expression changed when he noticed text written on a rectangular tag, and Akane did as he was asked to do.
He performed summoning technique and Katsuyu appeared on the table. Then, Katsuyu disappeared from the place and on the table, Mito appeared with a smile on her face.
"So, it worked, huh," Mito muttered with a pleasant smile on his face, and Akane looked at the tag in his hand.
"How did you do that? Did you use the concept behind the chakra transfer and memories recovery of Shadow clones?" Akane asked with an interested look on his face. After all, what Mito had built was an initial mobile phone that could be used to send messages.
'If it's improved, it can be used to create a phone that works on chakra and chakra signature can be used as sim cards to send messages.'
"Oh Ho, you got this. Yeah, I did use the concept. I had to form a seal to first turn my spiritual energy into words, and then convert everything to chakra, and send it to another complementary part. It was a bit difficult but when you gave the idea of message seals, I was intrigued and decided to mess around."
Mito said as she fiddled with a similar tag in her hand, and said, "Now, if it can be connected to several tags, it would be possible to send messages to different tags."
"But, the quality of material I used is a bit low and I can only connect up to five tags together. Anymore and chakra will be lost because of overload in formation, and the messages would disappear."
"So the message can only be sent to complementary tag?" Akane asked with a contemplative look on his face and Mito nodded at him.
"Then, what if we developed a seal that would look for a specific chakra signature, and send the message to that specific tag that has a specific chakra signature."
"First, we would need to build a main seal that would have all chakra signatures stored, and then connect the main seal to several sub-seals."
"The sub-seals will have a specific chakra signature. Say that Person A has to send a message to Person C, he could just choose the signature. Initially, we can make it so that the message goes from Sub-seal A to Main seal, and then from the main seal to Sub-seal C."
"Later when we have materials, we can directly send the message from Sub-seal A to Sub-seal C."
A thoughtful look appeared on Mito's face as she heard the words, and the others in the place had similar expressions.
"But then, what's the problem with this one?" Kana asked as she took the tag in her hand.
"We can just build more tags, and all of us will have each one. Then, we can just message each other using it, can't we?"
"No," Mito said while shaking her head, and she continued, "If I send a message, all the complementary parts will receive the message, not just one. If I were to create for everyone, I would have to create a lot of tags and it would be a pain to handle them."
"The idea that Akane gave solves the problem I had in my mind, but it would be difficult. Since we need to find a material that is good chakra conductor, receiver and sender."
"This kind of material is hard to find, and even the chakra metals will have some wear and tear because of seals."
Mito said while shaking her head, and Akane thought of chakra receivers that Madara and Nagato could create.
'Would they work? I will ask Black Zetsu to gather a few and send Mito. Since she knows about my relationship with Kaguya, I don't have to hide the resources.'
Akane thought as he remembered about Black Receivers Nagato used while operating Six Paths of Pain.
"By the way, Akane, I have informed Tsunade and Kushina about the party. They said that they will be having another party when you go to Konoha, and Kushina wants to talk about something."
Akane nodded as he heard the words, and he thought of methods of coaxing Kushina.
'Well, Amusement Park would do.'
He thought in his mind and then got up from the place.
"I have a few things I need to prepare, so I will leave. Thirty minutes later, I will pull you all into the dream."
Saying this, Akane walked away, and the group nodded at him with a flicker in their eyes.
