Chapter 158:

Akira felt his heart wrenched while looking at the the pale face Tsunade and sighed in a whisper: "Our loved ones can't be resurrected from the dead, you must stay strong.

Akira don't know how to comfort Tsunade and he hope she will get better.

Fortunately, Tsunade was better than before. Previously she was indifferent to all, but now she slowly raised her head and look at Akira, finally regaining a trace of her spirit.

"I.., I know." Tsunade replied softly.

Having said that, Nawaki was Tsunade's only younger brother after all and he was also an existence that was regarded as the only hope for the Senju clan, but he died in this war.

The Senju Clan currently only has two outstanding descendants, Nawaki and Tsunade. As the male descendants of the Senju Clan, Nawaki has received more attention and care, but he had sadly fallen.

Moreover Senju clan had suffered heavy losses in this Ninja World War and the death of Nawaki is definitely a heavy blow to the Senju clan. Hence the Senju clan is likely to go downhill from now on.

In the original Naruto Canon, there was almost no scenes regarding the Senju clan, so presumably they had exhausted themselves in this war and went into decline.

Akira expelled the thought in his mind and gently held Tsunade's hand.

Tsunade was taken aback for a moment.

Tsunade's hands were a little cold. The country of rain is a country that always rain, so the temperature is low and Tsunade's hands was also drenched with the rain for a long time, so her hands gradually became cold.

However Akira didn't care at all and directly held her hand.

Akira's hands were very warm and the warmness was conveyed to Tsunade's body, causing her frowning brows to relax slightly and her sadness was temporarily relieved.

"I have killed Shirotsuchi and taken revenge for Nawaki. In the future, I will also not forgive any Iwa ninja I encounter." Akira whispered to try comfort Tsunade.

A gleam of luster flashed in Tsunade's beautiful eyes. She also saw Akira using his mangekyo sharingan ability to kill Shirotsuchi just now. Tsunade was also shock by the power that Akira could display just now by controlling gravity at any time. If it weren't for the great blow Nawaki death had given Tsunade, she would had been excited and already congratulated Akira.

"Thank you." Tsunade felt that her frozen heart was melting with warmth after she felt Akira's concerned expression. Her heart became warm and comforted, while the frosty expression on her face finally melted away and she said her gratitude softly.

Akira smiled and he just make sure that the shirt he draped on Tsunade was tight and snugged. The weather was very cold, but Tsunade's heart gradually warmed.

"You don't need to be so polite with me." Akira said and then he continued hesitantly: "Before Nawaki died, his last request was for me to take care of you. Presumably he doesn't want to see you drown in sadness." Akira has nothing but pity for Tsunade's sadness. There is no doubt that Tsunade is an extremely emotional person.

If it is Akira who unfortunately died, Tsunade would also similarly be drown in sadness. However seeing her frailness made Akira's heart full of care and concern for her.

Tsunade's expression changed after hearing it is Nawaki last words and she raised her head again to look at Akira.

They look into each other eyes and for a moment, Tsunade couldn't help but blushed slightly.

She don't know if it was because of the ambiguity of this sentence, or because of Akira's gaze. In short, Tsunade felt that her face was slightly hot and she subconsciously turned her eyes away from Akira as she can't help but feel embarassed.

Originally, the relationship between Tsunade and Akira was very already special and the two can be said to have surpassed the normal teacher-student relationship. Leaving aside other things, ordinary teacher will not give a necklace to a student, let alone kiss the student forehead. So far, Tsunade is only doing this to Akira. No one but a fool will believe that there is no spark in between the two relationship.

Furthermore Akira had also rescued Tsunade Twice when she was in danger. He saved her once when she was besiged by Chiyo and the second time while she was up against Hanzo. Both rescues brought Tsunade back from the brink of life and death, especially the first time when she was in the most danger.

Tsunade was touched and moved by Akira galantness when he rescued her.

Although Akira was younger than Tsunade, but Akira had always been very mature and calm.Their difference in age was not a concern, with Tsunade only regarded him as an equal peer and would not look at him from the eyes of a superior.

Under such bit by bit, the relationship between Akira and Tsunade gradually changed, perhaps even Tsunade hadn't expected it and didn't know when she had liked Akira.

Whether it was before or now, Akira always appear by her side almost every time Tsunade needs it the most.

This is also true this time. In her most vulnerable moment, Akira was still by her side, without too much words, not too much comfort, just holding her hand, as if telling her that he will always be there right by her side.

This seem to made Tsunade's frozen heart gradually thaw opened a gap gently and the frost gradually melted away.

At such a moment and such an encounter, Tsunade finally took off her defenses in front of Akira. Even when Tsunade was conforted by her more than 10 years friend, Orochimaru, her expression did not change much, but in front of Akira, her expression finally turned gentle and her gaze looking at Akira has completely changed.

"You should be tired, take some rest for a while and leave everything to me." Akira comforted.

"En, okay." Tsunade stared at Akira quietly for a while and finally nodded. She was indeed tired, not because of physical fatigue, but mentally exhausted.

Tsunade closed her eyes and let Akira hugged and held her in his arms. Tsunade with her eyes closed, enjoy the feeling of warmth in Akira's arms and finally leaned against Akira's shoulders.

Being so close together, Akira can smell the refreshing scent of Tsunade in his arms, then sighed softly as he looked at Tsunade's weakened state and he couldn't help but hug Tsunade even tightly.

An imperceptible blush grow on Tsunade's face, the sadness in her heart faded slightly and she finally fell asleep peacefully in Akira's arm.

On the battlefield, many people have seen this scene. Minato, Orochimaru, Sakumo, etc. are all unconsciously surprised when they see it.

Akira, when did he get so intimate with Tsunade?

This...

This thought came to everyone's heart, finding it weird, but they were glad that he was able to comfort Tsunade.
