Chapter 49 - Sage Mode
"Yo, Mikoto. Oh, long time no see Sasuke." Akihiko said with his right hand raised.
"Welcome back darling." Mikoto said surprising Akihiko, Sasuke and Izumi.
'Darling?' x3
"M-mom, why are you calling him 'Darling'?" Sasuke asked with an awkward smile.
"Oh, me, Kushina and Yugao discussed about this together." Mikoto replied with a smile.
"Yugao? Is she the one from the party at Yakiniku around a year ago? Damn it, Akihiko, are you dating her too?"
"Yep. What? Are you jealous of your father?" Akihiko asked as he raised his eyebrows at Sasuke.
"Why are you so casual about this? Also, I still haven't accepted you as my father. I just approved your relationship with Mom." Sasuke replied with a deadpan face.
"What? Didn't you call me daddy that time I bought you a new katana? Did you forget it?" Akihiko replied with a smirk.
"Y-y-you. Tch! Whatever, I'm going out now."
"Wait, Sasuke." Akihiko grabbed Sasuke's shoulders and stopped him in his tracks.
"What?"
"Take these and buy anything you want together with Naruto." Akihiko handed Sasuke a bundle of cash.
"Thanks."
Sasuke replied quickly and dashed out of the house.
'As expected, the way to be accepted as a father quickly is to bribe the kids with money.'
"Akihiko, do you want me to just call you by your name? Or Aki-kun? Or Dear?" Mikoto asked as Sasuke left the house.
"You can call me whatever you feel comfortable with." Akihiko replied with a smile.
"Alright, darling." Mikoto replied and then giggled softly.
"Oh right, Mikoto, Izumi, can you wait here for a bit? I will go and call Kushina and Yugao." Akihiko told them.
Before Mikoto could reply, they all heard a very familiar voice from outside the house.
"I'm coming through the door like a normal person! Oh right. With Yugao-chan!" Kushina opened the door and came in with a large hearty smile while pulling Yugao with one hand.
"Haha, I guess I don't have to go now." Akihiko replied.
Kushina then just got in, sat down and even pulled Yugao to sit beside her.
"I was about to have a nap." Yugao muttered to herself.
"Teehee~ I came here as soon as Sasuke and Naruto went out for shopping. We haven't had a gathering together for a while except for our nightly activities." Kushina spoke with a playful smile.
Akihiko then asked them all, "Do you guys want to move into my house?"
"Sure. But are you sure your house can fit all of us, Akihiko?" Izumi asked as she tilted her head slightly.
"My current house will be able to fit the five of us but not for others who may join later on." Akihiko replied as he scratched his cheek.
"…" Mikoto
"…" Kushina
"…" Izumi
"…" Yugao
"Umm so what do you all think about moving to my house?" Akihiko asked again.
"I am fine with it." Yugao answered.
"Our clan still need a leader and I can't just leave the Uchiha Estate alone." Mikoto answered with disappointment in her voice.
"You see, I also have to take care of Naruto." Kushina also answered.
"Well, that's certainly a problem." Akihiko replied.
Then, Izumi thought of an idea and said enthusiastically, "There are lots of vacant room in the Uchiha Compound. We can live here together."
"Good idea."x3
"Alright. I will seal all the things in a scroll and bring it here." Kushina replied excitedly.
"I will try." Yugao answered as she thought 'I guess I will just quit from the Anbu team and become a regular jonin like Kakashi-senpai.'
"Alright, see you later."
After saying that, everyone left the Uchiha Compound leaving only Mikoto and Izumi.
-----
Akihiko teleported to his shop to see that Pakura was drunk and was sleeping on the table. There were many bottles of sake around her.
Akihiko thought 'Did she use most of her monthly salary?' He just picked her up and laid her on the bed. He also left a bottle of medicine for clearing drunkenness and left a note. He also left 20 cookies in a box and left it beside the medicine as a bonus. Of course, Akihiko also took out the Umu Hairband from the Inventory and used it to tie his hair.
He then decided to try something new. He wanted to know if he could learn Sage Mode by himself without any help from the three sage realms. He teleported to the unexplored forest filled with nature energy and birds that he often goes to.
As soon as he arrived there, the friends he made there quickly arrived to the place.
"Yo everyone, long time no see." Akihiko greeted them with a wave of his hand.
*Insert Intense Chirping*
"Yeah, sorry for not visiting earlier."
*More chirping*
"Oh, I'm here for training. Don't worry, I won't destroy the forest." Akihiko replied while thinking 'I won't destroy the forest, right?'
Akihiko started to meditate and started to feel the natural energy and absorbed them into his body. However, unlike when he used Jugo's bloodline to increase his body quality, he mixed it in the dantian slowly, trying to balance the natural energy, physical energy and spiritual energy.

[Konoha]
While Akihiko was trying to achieve sage mode for the first time, in Ichiraku's ramen, a brown-haired girl was sitting on the chair and looked listless.
"Ayame, what's wrong?" Teuchi asked Ayame although he had a brief idea of what was happening.
"Nothing's wrong. Just a bit tired." Ayame replied as she got up from the chair and went back into the kitchen.
"Are you sure you're not just lovesick?" Teuchi asked with a slightly teasing tone.
"Hmph! Who will miss that bastard Akihiko?" Ayame answered quickly with an annoyed expression.
"Oya Oya, I didn't even say Akihiko's name." Teuchi replied thinking 'Ladies and Gentleman, we got her.'
Ayame just went silent although one could see her ears blushing and a customer came in.
"Welcome to Ichiraku's. What would you like?"
-----
It was already 1.p.m and all the graduates went to the academy to take photos. Each and one of them went in and just came out. Nothing to do.
Everyone already took a photo and there shouldn't be anyone left. Although, there was Sasuke waiting for someone in front of the academy hall.
He was waiting for Naruto who got called in by the teachers and the Hokage since he made a silly face for the graduation photo for the 6th time. The photographers got annoyed and just called the Hokage.
"Naruto, just take one normal photo." Hiruzen request- no begged Naruto.
"Haiiiiya, fine, fine, I'll-"
Before he could finish the sentence, he got interrupted a brat with a missing tooth and with a strange headpiece.
"Hey gramps, I will become the Fifth Oof." The boy didn't get to finish his sentence as he fell down.
He then got up and walked towards Naruto and said, "I got it. You were the one who tripped me right?"
Naruto just thought 'Huh? What the hell? I'll just use a trick that Akihiko taught me.'
Naruto pulled Konohamaru's collar and was about to punch him and Konohamaru just sneered and said, "What are you going to do? I am the grandson of the Third Hokage."
Konohamaru thought, 'Hmph, he is just like anyone. He gets scared as soon as he heard about gramps.'
However, Naruto just punched Konohamaru and said, "Like I care about that. If you are the grandson of the Third Hokage, I am the father of the Third Hokage, belive it. Anyways, I'll take a proper photo next time." Naruto just smiled and walked off.
Hiruzen who heard Naruto's words felt his whole face twitching.
"Honorable Grandson, you shouldn't associate with that brute. Look at his crude way of speaking. He even mocked the Third Hokage."
Meanwhile, Konohamaru just tried to follow Naruto. Although, Naruto and Sasuke were walking back to their home together. Konohamaru who was lucky, got both of them as his boss.
-----
Pakura just woke up and found that she was on the bed. She looked around and saw a bottle of medicine, a box of cookies and a note. She knew who left this for her and she just took the note and read it.
"Take the medicine, it is good for your hangover headache. The box of cookies is for your bonus. There are 20 cookies there. Eat slowly or you'll become a pig. Anyways, you will be the only resident of the house now. I found a new place to stay. I will come from time to time to refill the cookie stock. – From the Best Boss ever."
Pakura just chuckled reading that but felt quite lonely in her heart.
[a/n: You know what I'm hinting at, don't you?]
-----
[Back to Akihiko]
Akihiko was currently surrounded by many birds as his body's natural energy felt a lot stronger than his base form. He opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Jugo's bloodline without any side-effects is really OP. I even awakened the Sage Mode in two hours. He felt that his kekkei genkais were also enhanced.
He currently had golden lines around and under his eyes and across his body.
[A/N: Like Hashirama's, except the fact that the color is golden and there is no markings in his forehead.]
He transformed his hands and legs using his kekkei genkai. They also had golden marking and it looked more like normal limbs than monstrous limbs. He punched the air using half of his power but around 10 trees were destroyed. This was due to his physical body being extremely strong and it was multiplied by his sage mode.
He also felt like he could even command animals and the animals would have natural attraction towards him. This was the enhanced version of his animal talk.
He deactivated Jugo's bloodline and activated the sharingan. He could feel that the maximum limit of the sharingan's perception ability was enhanced. The genjutsus would also be hard to break even by other sharingan users.
He felt satisfied and teleported to a small alley in Konoha leaving the birds who were deadpanning at Akihiko's promise of not destroying the forest.
-----
Naruto and Sasuke could now be seen walking down the streets of Konoha together with a small child.
"Boss Naruto, Boss Sasuke, see you tomorrow." Konoha said his farewells as he ran off to his home.
"What a weird kid." Sasuke commented followed by Naruto.
"Yeah, but he's a good kid. Let's train him." Naruto said while smirking at Sasuke.
Sasuke just chuckled and said, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Yeah, let's beat him like how Akihiko does to us. After all, it's a teacher's duty." They both evilly smirked as they separated their ways.
-----
[In the Hokage's office]
"Lord Hokage, I wish to leave the Anbu." Yugao reported to Hiruzen as Hiruzen sighed.
"Are you sure about this decision."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
"Alright. From today onwards, Yugao Uzuki will become a regular jonin."
"Thank you, Lord Hokage."
After Yugao left, Hiruzen just muttered, 'Why the hell are both Kakashi and Yugao leaving the Anbu? What a waste.'
-----
That night, Naruto was shocked as he found out that they will be moving to Uchiha Household. When he went home, there was nothing left. Kushina also prepared everything.
He just followed Kushina and slept at the Uchiha estate. He and Sasuke had rooms next to each other.
Yugao and Akihiko also came and slept there. Although, Akihiko, Kushina, Mikoto, Izumi and Yugao slept in the same room.
The actions they did the night were ommited, although one could tell that they kept going for hours and hours. Trying new moves, positions and even awakened some kinks.
