Chapter 25:

Holding Kushina's little hand, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Akira felt that Kushina is very beautiful, even with the beautiful moonlight shining down the night sky, Akira still felt that her beauty overshadow it.

Kushina dropped her head slightly, her face blushing from the cheek and spread all the way to the tip of her ears. Her starry eyes don't even dare to look at Akira. Totally different that her usual red hot blooded personality.

Akira was dazzled by Kushina beauty and cuteness. The contrast of her current cuteness and her usual hot blooded temper is very moe. (tsundere)

I'm afraid it would be difficult to describe the beauty in front of me with any adjective, she is simply very beautiful, capturing Akira heart.

Akira couldn't help holding Kushina's small hand even more tightly, which cause Kushina to let out a soft cry of pain, her hand a bit painful from Akira tight hold, but her face turned redder in embarrassment.

"Uh, sorry." Akira said quickly.

"No, it's okay." Kushina blushed and said in a small voice.

It can be seen that Kushina doesn't mind at all, whereas she mostly feel joy in her heart, she doesn't dislike the closeness with Akira at all.

"Kushina, you have been training and getting stronger." Akira sighed, Kushina's progress is also very fast, her strength is second only to Akira and Minato among the younger generation and her chakra and talents as a Uzumaki are special.

Hearing these words, Kushina raised her snow-white face, a little delighted and suddenly puffed her cheek: "Your progress is even faster, and you can already fight with jounin..."

"I used trickery to win before, but now there is chance I can beat them fairly." Akira smiled, sage of the six path taught him the Yang style, body flicker jutsu, which made Akira even more powerful. Akira is now a little eager to try and challenge a jounin.

"I will work hard too." Kushina waved her small fist and said seriously. She is not a someone who is willing to let someone protect her, she has long determined in her heart that she must catch up with Akira's pace and stand by his side.

Akira smiled and nodded, he also believed in Kushina.

Kushuna is the nine-tailed jinchuriki in the original story and her strength would be beyond doubt strong with the nine tail chakra. Of course, Akira has now regarded Kushina as his own woman, and he will definitely not let Kushina fall into that tragic fate in the future. (Kushina is not yet the jinchuriki of nine tail and Akira is trying to prevent her from falling into the tragic fate of being nine tail jinchuriki and suffer from it, even though she will without doubt be very strong)

However, if he want to change the fate of Kushina, he must first be strong, so that it is possible to change the decisions make by the upper echelons of Konoha! For now, Kushina has yet to become the jinchuriki of nine tails and there is hope for everything! Akira thought silently in his heart.

"What are you thinking about?" Kushina was a little curious, took a step forward and approached Akira.

"I'm wondering if it is possible black water ghost will chase us after he escaped and get help from other Ame ninja." Akira laughed and didn't tell the truth, so as not to put pressure on Kushina.

When Kushina heard it, her expression was somewhat serious.

"Don't worry, it won't be a problem, I am hoping he come after us as I have a plan." Akira couldn't wait to try the power of Yang style, body flicker jutsu.

"Ok, I believe in you." Kushina nodded without hesitation.

Akira smiled and couldn't help but tighten Kushina little hand tightly.

They held their hands together while chatting, Akira didn't do any further intimate actions. Firstly, it was not an occasion to talk about love. Secondly, Akira was not anxious when they still have a long road to go in the future.

After chatting for a while, Akira and Kushina returned to the camp together and Akira also took the opportunity to remove the blockage of contact with the ring.

"Smelly brat, you really don't respect your sensei, I..." sage of the six path begin to nagged but Akira directly ignored him.

After being in contact with sage of the six path for a long time, Akira discovered that this old man turned out to have quite a personality. Anyway, the relationship between the two of them are very close and Akira didn't bother to be polite with sage of the six path.

Just when Akira and Kushins came back, they saw Choza who was supposed to be asleep getting up and his small eyes looked Akira and Kushina up and down with gossiping interest.

"Akira, Kushuna, what did you do just now?" Choza face was full of gossip expressions.

Kushina's face blushed and she glared at Choza: "None of your business!"

Akira acted calmly: "We just walk around randomly, what's wrong?"

"Pretend, continue to pretend!" However, Choza doesn't believe and there was wisdom in his small eyes: "You guys thought that you have hide it well, but I've discovered it long ago!"

"Choza, don't talk nonsense." Akira instinctively wanted to explain.

With an expression of "I understand", Choza gave Akira a thumbs up secretly: "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret, I promise that only I will know!"

Akira was speechless, while Kushina glared at Choza in embarrassment.

"Hey, I found that I'm getting better and better lately. Nothing can escape my observing eyes!" Choza is very satisfied with Akira's and Kushina's reaction.

"Okay, it's time for you and the Minato to watch the night, Kushina and I are going to rest." Akira said.

Choza immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, wake minato up and then took turns to watch the night.

After Akira and Kushina rested for two hours, they finally regained a lot of energy and prepared to continue on their way again.

"If we run in full speed, it will take only about three hours to get back to the village." Akira said. Now they are in the land of fire, but they are not safe enough. Only when they return to the village can they be considered safe.

"Yes." All three of them nodded.

"Brat! I can feel two chakras approaching and one of them should be the former Ame Jounin, Black Water Ghost!" Sage of the six path reminded him.

The reminder of the six immortals made Akira suddenly alert.

"What's the matter, Akira?" Minato asked Akira immediately, after noticing his change in expression.

Akira solemnly said: "Black Water Ghost seems to have track and chase us until here and he is not alone!"

"What?!"

The other three suddenly looked solemn and looked towards Akira, waiting for Akira to give orders.

Akira said: "Be prepare for battle, this battle is going to be hard."

"Yes!" The three nodded heavily.

The atmosphere in the air solidified, almost suffocating.
