Chapter 159:

This heartwarming scene was seen by many of them and they were all slightly surprised to see Akira hugging Tsunade.

Orochimaru is especially surprise as he knows Tsunade's character best, but it is unexpected for him to see Tsunade voluntarily snuggling into Akira arm, yet she look so at peace.

"This kid talent for dealing with girls is as strong as his talent for ninjutsu." Orochimaru gave a rare humor and whispered with a wry smile.

Sakumo also gave a wry smile. He was busy commanding the battle this time and originally wanted Akira to help him, but now it seems like this will be a completely hopeless thought.

Sakumo also knows Akira's character very well. Akira likes to do things independently and like to disobey his instructions. Which give Sakumo a headache and he can only clean up the mess by himself.

Akira hugged Tsunade tightly and didn't even look at the battlefield. Now that the situation is set and with the two people, Sakumo and Orochimaru around, he doesn't need to worry about them.

"Iwa and Suna unexpected really work together against Koniha, I'm afraid this time it's just a small scheme and there will be more coming soon. If we wait for Suna and Iwa to really unite and attack us, Konoha will have a hard time to repell them." This thought flashed in Akira's heart. If the two big countries Suna and Iwa really form a coalition and attack them, then that will be the beginning of real trouble.

With Konoha's strength, it is not a problem for them to defend against one country. But it will be a struggle for them to face two big countries at the same time.

"I will push this thought for later." Akira expelled the thought in his mind and turned to look at Tsunade in his arms.

After the great intense battle, Akira's had also consumed lots of his chakra. Fighting against kage-level powerhouse like Shirotsuchi would certainly require him to consume lots of chakra. If it weren't for taking food pills and the yang chakra in Akira's body, Akira would be drop dead tired at this moment.

The battle finally ended but the rain in the sky remain raining, as if the sky was crying and mourning for the dead who died in this battle.

At the end of the battle, Sakumo was forced to clean up the mess, while Orochimaru stood quietly on side and have no plan on helping. His mind had bern completely consumed by his inner greed.

His mind is currently fully occupied by two desire, "Immortality" and "Sharingan".

Therefore, Sakumo was forced to do the clean up for the battle, while secretly complaint in his heart.

Fortunately, this battle is over. All that is left is to count the losses and clean up the battlefield.

After the war was over, Sakumo also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Akira with mixed feeling. This time Konoha encountered a few dangerous situations on the battlefield of the Country of Rain. After all, the opponent was a coalition of the two great village, but yet they were suppressed by Akira alone and Akira even killed one of the enemy's kage-level powerhouse. Hence, it can be said that is was thanks to Akira that they were able to overcome this crisis.

Sakumo also wrote all of the progress in the war onto the intelligence report and conveyed it to the Third Hokage through the intelligence network. At the same time, he also specially wrote Akira's performance on the intelligence and reported it to the Third Hokage.

Akira's growth rate had stunned Sakumo and he completely understands why Akira is so valued by the Third Hokage. Such a genius certainly has the capital to make anyone value him.

No, maybe it's no longer a genius.

After all, the term genius is generally used to refer to the talented ninjas of the younger generations, which has the meaning of appreciation. But now Akira has gradually grown to be strong enough to sit on an equal footing with them and it can't be summed up with the word 'genius'.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the ninja on Konoha's side also began to retreat.

Gradually, all the ninja troops retreated and returned to the nearby Konoha base.

Corpses were everywhere on the battlefield and the enemy's corpses were buried on the spot. An exception was the corpses of Nawaki and other important enemies that that have vital information. Minato asked someone to transport the corpses of Nawaki and other ninjas back to Konoha. Those killed in this war are Konoha's heroes and monuments will be erected in Konoha in the future for future generations to pay respect.

After taking care of everything, Sakumo and Orochimaru led the Konoha ninjas back to the Konoha base closest to the battlefield and rearranged their lines of defense. Although Iwa and Suna forces had retreated, but it is also difficult to guarantee that there won't be any danger of them attacking again. So at present they are still focusing on defense.

But none of this is Akira's business anymore. Akira gently hug Tsunade and finds a room in the camp for Tsunade.

Akira gently put Tsunade down and placed her on the warm couch, watching Tsunade's face close at hand and sighed slightly. He didn't intend to take advantage when she was weak and fragile, so he was ready to leave.

But who ever thought, before Akira even turn his head, Tsunade opened her eyes.

"Uh, you are awake." Akira looked at Tsunade.

When Tsunade opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Akira's appearance and the corner of her lips couldn't help but lift up softly.

"En, you were taking care of me just now?"

"Of course." Akira smiled: "Take a good rest, you can leave everything else to me."

Tsunade was silent for a long time and suddenly looked at Akira, revealing the first smile that bloomed today.

In an instant, the chill scattered and the beautiful spring flowers blossomed.

.....

Akira was all taken aback for a while, he was used to seeing Tsunade's strong appearance and he couldn't help but sink into a daze, now that he see her weak but smiling face. (The contrast of seeing the normal heroic, superwomen Tsunade compared to her now girlish, fragile smile.)

However before Akira could react, Tsunade suddenly hugged him.

Akira felt her warm body, while Tsunade's face was close and her gentle breathing seemed to be brushed across Akira's face.

Uh, am I actually hugged by Tsunade?

This thought came out of Akira's mind and he also subconsciously hugged Tsunade back. Tsunade's body was soft in Akira's arms. The two cuddled together, their bodies were extremely close, closely cuddling together.

With such a beautiful and perfect lady in his arm, Akira couldn't help but smell Tsunade's scent and this aroused his thoughts. He didn't expect Tsunade to snuggle in his arms actively just now. Does this mean anything?

Before Akira's thoughts flashed through his mind, he feel like there is something seemed to be wrong...

"Tsunade." Akira found that Tsunade was hugging him too tightly. He was about to say something, but Tsunade directly sealed his mouth...
