Chapter 80:

Ever since Akira rescued Konan, she has then regarded Akira as her family and the person she can rely on the most.

So when Jiraiya taught Konan ninjutsu, Akira was actually the happiest. Akira is relieved as Konan got more powerful.

Akira patted Konan's head, immediately her small face turned red and she threw herself into Akira's arms like a kitten while enjoying the intimacy with Akira happily.

Seeing this scene, Tsunade inadvertently frowned slightly and there was a feeling that she hadn't noticed spreading in her heart.(P.S Jealous)

"Konan, don't over exhaust yourself from training. You can't rush when it comes to learning ninjutsu." Akira kindly advice.

"Okay." Konan clench her fist and promised, but in her heart, she secretly promised herself to become stronger quickly so that she could have a chance to help her Brother Akira.

'No matter what method I use, I must get stronger quickly so that I won't be a burden on him!' Konan thought to herself. In the base these days, she had also heard many Konoha ninjas discussing about Akira's amazing feat. The little girl who originally admired Akira greatly, is now even more fanatical after knowing hearing his feat.

Akira showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth while squeezing Konan's face and feeling her soft round cheek.

"Let's stop our practice here today. By the way, Akira, your contribution and merit had already spread in our village and Third Hokage-sama had even praise you." Jiraiya smiled and said: "I received a letter from Sarutobi sensei. In his letter, he is full of praise for your strategy."

As a student of third hokage, Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen of course often exchange news.

Third hokage praise?

Akira curled his lips. It seems like Third Hokage had been very concerned about him, but it is not surprising as he gradually become well known in the battlefield.

"Help me thank third hokage for his kind words." Akira said.

"Yes, this time your reputation has spread throughout Konoha village. Both Uchiha clan and Konoha regard you as a war hero. I have also heard that Kushina, Mikoto, Choza and others are all happy and proud of you... …" Tsunade said with a smile.

When mentioning Kushina, Mikoto and others, Akira's eyes slightly soften and a smile appeared on his lips.

Akira had gradually became famous became in the Country of Rain battlefield. He had became famous enough that even Kushina and others in back in Konoha village also heard his reputation, which shows how famous Akira had become now.

"Now it is a undeniable fact that you are Konoha's rising star. Congratulations." Tsunade smiled and patted Akira on the shoulder.

Akira shrugged, since even Konoha village had receive his news and record on the battlefield of the Country of Rain. It can only mean that his reputation had indeed grown a lot, at the same time, the benefits of this are also obvious.

Akira's fame has risen, so even higher ups of Konoha such as third hokage and Danzo will have to pay attention to him, especially Danzo, he will not dare to make any tricks or moves easily.

After chatting with Tsunade, Akira took Konan back to his temporary residence.

"I am so tired after fighting against Tsunade for a entire day." Akira casually threw his ninja tools and weapons aside and then directly lay down and close his eyes.

"Is Brother Akira tired?" Konan's soft and sweet voice came. Akira turned around and saw Konan's iconic light purple-blue hair. The current Konan is not a refugee anymore and after proper care and food, she now looks so cute and healthy.

"En, I am indeed a bit tired. I have been increasing the intensity of my practice during this period of time." Akira said.

Konan nodded obediently. Akira was resting but suddenly he felt a pair of very soft and small hands pinching his shoulders and helping him massage.

Akira looked back, only to see Konan's face earnestly massaging and her eyes sparkling. Her soft hands carefully pinched Akira's shoulders, which really help in relieving Akira's fatigue.

"Konan, you can massage?" Akira was a little surprised.

"No, no, I just saw Brother Akira that you are too tired..." Konan looked a little uncomfortable by Akira stare, so she lowered her head slightly and two blushes reddening on her face.

A smile appeared at the corner of Akira's mouth as he suddenly felt most of his fatigue subsided and his mood became more relaxed.

With a cute little girl like Konan massaging him, plus having princess Tsunade to spar with him daily, while his fame is rising in the Country of Rain. So it had been a relaxing and leisure day for Akira.

"En, you are good at massaging, continue." Akira enjoyed it comfortably with half-closed eyes.

After receiving Akira's praise, Konan's face showed an intoxicated blush and worked harder for Akira, massaging his head, arms and back one by one, gradually relieving Akira fatigue and make him more at ease and comfortable.

Akira looked at Konan's slightly immature face and couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Who would have thought that the "Angel", who had always been cold in the original story Akatsuki, would actually be massage him? The current Konan is so adorable in front of him.

This treatment is not something anybody can enjoy. Konan normally act coldly in front of others, but being so cute and pleasant in front of himself.

"Brother Akira, I'll help you boil the water for your bath..."

"Brother Akira, I will heat up the food, you can eat it in a while..."

.....

"Brother Akira..."

Although Konan is still young, but she is already very good at taking care of others. She took the initiative to handle everything so that Akira didn't have to do anything. This made Akira couldn't help but sigh.

"It's so much easier to have Konan with me." Akira smiled and pinched Konan's small nose.

Being praised by Akira, Konan smiled with her eyes bent into crescent moons.

After Konan helped Akira massage, Akira comfortably took a hot bath and then quickly finished his meal. After that, Kona pestered Akira and said that she wanted to play shogi with him. The two of them played for a while and then rested when it got late.

After working for so many days, Akira finally got a good night sleep and felt better.

Akira slept on the couch outside of the room, while Konan slept in room. Akira was sleeping, when he heard some rustling and a warm and slender body seemed to attach to his body.

"Brother Akira." Konan's soft voice sounded while looking at him with her big bright eyes filled with hope: "I can't sleep, can you sleep with me?"
