Chapter 91:

Time flies by and a year has passed.

Akira, Minato and Nawaki are all eleven years old and have grown a lot. Akira has grown to be more handsome and ninjas are generally more matured earlier. Akira also look calmer and more dashing.

At the same time, Akira had taken part several times on the battlefield and had maked rapid progress. The name of "Konoha Rising Star" has already made many enemy ninjas tremble in fear hearing it.

On this day, Akira had just finished his mission and returned his resting area in the base.

"Brother Akira!" As soon as he returned to the base, he saw a figure rushing towards him, it was Konan. Konan has grown a lot taller and has changed a lot from the thinness and underweight from the beginning. Her small face has become a healthy red and her snow-white skin was crystal clear. She blinked her eyes and looked at Akira.

"Well, I'm back." Akira said.

"You must be tired after finishing the mission, I have already prepared the bath water for you." Konan said very cutely.

Akira showed a relax smile and patted Konan's head. It was the greatest enjoyment to be able to take a hot bath after a mission was over: "Thank you Konan."

"Hee hee." Konan's mouth curled up, extremely happy.

After taking a bath, Akira felt more comfortable and relax. At this time, Konan came up again and Akira can smell a faint scent of cherry blossoms.

"Brother Akira, I'll help you massage." Konan smiled softly and actively helped Akira massage. A pair of soft hands began kneading Akira's body with skillful movements. Obviously, she often help inessaging people.

Akira also closed his eyes slightly and sighed in sastifaction in his heart. At the beginning, Akira did not allowed Konan to massage him, but now he has gradually get used to this.

"Brother Akira has worked hard to perform the mission, so I want brother to relax." Konan smiled sweetly and obediently. Seeing Akira's comfortable appearance, she massaged with more zeal.

Akira smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. There is only one peak level jonin and it was easily solved by me, Minato and Nawaki working togther" Akira, Minato and Nawaki formed a small team, which has gained a reputation on the battlefield and has a remarkable record.

Akira continued chatting with Konan. When Akira was away on weekdays, Konan's attitude towards anyone was a little cold. Only in front of Akira, is she like a lively little girl, twittering about.

Akira had wanted to change Konans cold personality in front of outsiders many times, but with little effect, so he had to give up. This is not surprising as Konan seems to have such a character in the original story as well, only revealing her true character to people close to her. This seems not bad, Konan's beautiful smile, basically can be appreciated by Akira only.

"Okay, Konan, take a rest, too." Akira said.

"Well, Brother Akira, I have learned a lot of ninjutsu recently, all taught by Jiraiya sensei..." Konan lied down beside Akira neatly and talked about her recent situation.

Akira smiled and pinched Konan's cheek.

The relaxing time passed quickly. In the afternoon, Akira was called by a Konoha's chunin saying that Tsunade-sama invited him over.

Rubbing his head, Akira got up from the couch reluctantly and said: "There goes my precious rest, why can't they give me a break, it couldn't be another mission right." Akira's complaint was met with Konan laughing discretely at him. (Konan covering her mouth and laughing)

After complaining a few words, Akira arrived at the discussion hall of the camp very quickly, but saw that only Tsunade was there.

"Akira, sit here." Tsunade lightly waved her hand, motioning Akira to come over and sit.

Akira sat next to Tsunade as requested and a refreshing fragrance completely different from that of Konan entered his nose. Akira couldn't help asking: "What can I do for you?"

"I'm here to convey news to you, it's from the third hokage." Tsunade chuckled lightly.

"Hm. There won't be another mission, right?" Akira pouted his lips, not disgusted with the mission, but the continuous mission make him tired.

Tsunade shook his head and said with a smile; "It's not a mission, but a good thing."

"Good thing?" Akira's eyes lit up.

"Yes, third hokage summon you back to the village and told you to go back to the village to rest for a while. I really envy you, the three hokage really care about you more than me as his student." Tsunade said with a half-joking and half-hearted smile.

"Summon me back to the village?" Akira's heart moved. He have been on the battlefield of the Country of Rain for a long period of time and Akira has indeed not returned to the village for a long time...

"Well, you and me will be togetger as we go back to the village for a few days. This is specially approved by the third hokage." Tsunade said.

Akira was slightly surprised again, as he is also going to returned to the village with Tsunade.

Seeing Akira's surprise, Tsunade explained with a smile, "I'm returning back to the Senju clan. There are some things in the clan that need to be dealt with."

"I see." Akira nodded clearly.

"The war is still on going and we only have seven days of off duty rest, so we must hurry back immediately. Quickly pack up and let's go now." Tsunade stretched her body and stood up. Her slender and perfecr figure was printed in Akira's eyes and Akira hearr couldn't help but jumped in excitement.

Compared to young girls like Kushina and Mikoto, who are still young, Tsunade's figure is obviously more attractive.

Inadvertently glimpsing Tsunade's almost perfect and proud curve, Akira mind couldn't help but think about it and finally suppressed it after a while.

"Okay." Akira replied and went to pack his things up.

Said it was packing things, but in fact it was just informing Konan. Although Konan was a little bit reluctant, she understood that Akira was only away for seven days.

He then bid farewell to his two friends, Minato and Nawaki, before leaving with Tsunade.

The two of them swiftly ran all the way, but it was also a rare opportunity of peace, so both of them chatted with each other, discussing ninjutsu and the current situation in the Ame battlefield, making the journey not boring. Akira is even more so, with such a big beauty as Tsunade, he can't be any happier.

Two days later, Akira and Tsunade arrived back, near the Konoha village.

Konoha soon appreared in front of them and both of them were in a good mood.

Tsunade smiled even more and said, "Akira, your name in Konoha is very renowned now. You are called a young hero by many people. Everyone regards you as an idol!"

"Is that so?" Akira found this a bit strange.

"Of course, you will know when you arrive in the village in a while and you will definitely be treated like a hero." Tsunade said firmly.

Akira kept walking, but looked forward to returning back to the village even more.
