Chapter 24:

"We will first rest here, Choza take out your food pills and distribute them to everyone." Akira said.

The food pills made by the Akimichi clan are well-known in the Ninja world and as a member of Akimichi clan, Choza also has a lot of food pills on him, which he immediately distributed to the team.

Akira ate a food pill and felt the chakra in his body slowly recovering and his exhaustion subsiding away.

Akira looked at Choza, Kushina and Minato. Minato looks okay, but both Choza and Kushina were slightly tired, especially Choza. After experiencing the previous battles and continuous rushing, Akira and the team are obviously exhausted, However they barely rested and pushed on, so Choza as the weakest among the four is in the worst condition.

"Let's take a break and rest, we will take turn, two on the lookout, while the other two sleep." Akira said.

"Yes." All three of them nodded and followed Akira's arrangement.

"Akira, do you want me to watch the night with you?" Choza approached, his fat body blocked Akira's view and said enthusiastically.

Akira curled his lips and said: "You better go sleep and don't run around." Akira rolled his eyes and try to scare Choza with some make up mysterious nonsense: "I heard that there is a mysterious and terrifying cannibal group in the country of rain."

Akira's words attracted the team attention. All three of them looked towards Akira, but they were puzzled: They have never heard of any cannibal group in the country of rain…

"I heard that there is a group of powerful cannibals in the country of Rain. They are powerful, barbaric like beasts and they often prowl around at night. They like to catch those who don't sleep and eat them up."

Hey, somethings seems wrong? Choza felt as if something was wrong as he listens to Akira…

Akira smiled maliciously: "So Choza, you should hurry go to sleep. I heard that the cannibals of the Rain Country kidnapped small fat boys and eat them up. If you don't go sleep, you will end up suffering badly!

"Haha!" Seeing Akira's words become more and more outrageous and looking at his mischievous expression, kushina and minato understood that Akira was deliberately making a prank on Choza.

Choza collapsed immediately, wailing and hiding in the corner with a grimace, while murmuring: "I, I want to lose weight, lose weight!"

"Haha." Kushina clutched her stomach and laugh, Akira is too evil.

"Choza don't take it to heart, I'm just joking. You and Minato will rest first, while I will be on the lookout with Kushina and we will rotate in the middle of the night. When we return to Konoha, I will treat you barbecue to eat!" Akira patted Choza on the shoulder.

"Okay, I got it!" Once Choza heard of eating barbecue meat, he immediately throw away all thought on losing weight. He immediately lie on the ground and began to sleep.

Akira was a little speechless, he really deserves to be a member of the Akimichi clan, where all them are indeed foodie!

"Then I will rest too." Minato also went to sleep.

Under the dark night sky, only Akira and Kushina were left. The tense and solemn atmosphere on the battlefield disappeared, as Akira and Kushina stood together with some sparks in between them.

Since the last time Akira rescued Kushina from Kumo ninja, the relationship between the two has gradually become closer. What's more, the two are also teammate, often completing tasks together and they have long been in tacit understanding with each other.

Of course Akira also likes Kushina, the girl in front of her is brave and kind and at the same time also strong and stubborn, which all had be seen by Akira.

"Akira, shall we go for a walk?" Kushina looked at Akira with a slight blush, clench her fist and gathered her courage to ask him.

"Boy, it seems like this little girl is really interested in you…" The voice of the sage of the six path sounded in Akira's heart with a bit of tease.

"Old man, don't come out suddenly, can you!" Akira is dissatisfied

"Smelly brat, you have no respect to your sensei at all…" The sage of the six path began to preach again, but found that Akira suddenly cut off his contact with him. Sage of the six path then blew his beard in anger and glared, why did he choose such a un-respectful student!

Akira has mastered the usage of the Sage of the six path possessed ring and can cut off the connection with him easily, which will directly block off all communication and he will not be able to come out of the ring.

Akira don't want sage of the six path to come out and interrupt his time together with Kushina.

Facing Kushina invitation, Akira certainly wouldn't refuse, saying: "ok, the moonlight is pretty good tonight."

The moonlight is so bright that the ground is covered with a faint silver layer of light. Kushina stands next to Akira, under the shining light from the moon. Her pair of spirited eyes become brighter and her cheeks are slightly flushed.

Kushina body has gradually mature, with a slim, shapely figure and milk white skin which are very mesmerizing.

Of course, what caught Akira's attention the most is Kushina pair of bright and clear starry eyes.

Kushina being stared at by Akira, felt slightly shy.

Akira suddenly asked, "Kushina, are your parents thieves?"

"Huh?" Kushina don't understand what Akira is talking about, so she looked at Akira with a little annoyance, while pouting. What is this guy saying, the good atmosphere at the moment has been completely destroyed by him.

However Akira next sentence made Kushina feel embarassed but happy.

"If your parents were not thieves, how could they steal the stars in the sky to become your eyes?" Akira smiled.

The sentence made Kushina blush and her eyes brighten up like stars. A girl will be happy hearing praises from the boy she likes. So hearing Akira said this, Kushina's heart throbbed with joy. Her heart is overloaded with feelings, joy, shyness… all kinds of feelings mixed.

Akira smiled in his heart, Kushina blushing face fell in his eyes and he felt that she is very cute.

Akira suddenly stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Kushina little hand.

Her wrist is slender, soft as silk, and extremely delicate, which made Akira move in his heart.

Whereas Kushina lowered her head shyly, even the tips of her ears turned slightly red…
