Chapter 167:

Akira agreed with the plan to deal with Iwa forces together with Tsunade.

It was only then that Tsunade feel relaxed and reassured, as she was not at ease letting Akira face Iwa alone, where there will going to be the four-tailed jinchuriki among them.

"Son Goku..." At this time, the sage of the six path voice came. The sage ponder, he didn't expect to hear the news about Son Goku, which surprised him.

As the first ten-tailed jinchuriki, the sage was the one who divided the ten tailed beast into nine different tailed beast. Hence, he is familiar with the four tailed beast, that he treat like his children.

Akira ignored the sage who was in deep thought and turned his gaze towards Orochimaru and Jiraiya: "I have someone to recommend both of you to bring along that will aid you in the coming battle."

"Your recommendation?" Jiraiya was also curious as he look curiously at Akira.

Akira smiled and said, "Nara Shikkaku of the Nara clan, he should be able to help both of you on the battlefield." Akira has no doubts about Nara Shikkaku's IQ. Afterall Shikkaku is the future Konoha's military jonin commander and Hokage's right-hand man.

The relationship between the Ino Shika Cho and Akira is very good and Akira does not mind helping him.

"A person from the Nara clan eh, Okay got it." Jiraiya nodded, the person recommended by Akira must definitely be extraordinary.

"Okay, so it will be as decided." Akira concluded calmly.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya also had no objections and both nodded slightly.

The four then scattered, while Akira and Tsunade walk out side by side.

Akira gently held onto Tsunade's little hand in his hand and he could feel her soft smooth hand while Tsunade blush.

"This time against Iwa, I want to test my new strength. When the time comes, I will fight with the Iwa forces first, while you can watch on the sideline." Akira said suddenly.

This time Akira planned to try facing the Iwa forces alone, to test how far his strength had reached.

"You..." Tsunade looked at Akira with astonishment. Although she was a little worried, but she saw Akita's firm gaze and finally relented: "Fine."

Tsunade hesitated briefly, but agreed in the end at Akira's confidence.

As Akira now has the mangekyo sharingan and in most cases his strength is enough to protect himself.

Akira was in a good mood and even squeezed Tsunade's small hand. Moreover he put his arms around her slim waist, with a mischievous smile on the corners of his lips.

Tsunade's cheeks blushed and she glanced at Akira with annoyance. She was about to speak, but when she saw the figure behind Akira, her face instantly blush and suddenly broke away from Akira's embrace.

Akira was taken aback, he turned his head and saw the dumbfounded Ino Shika Cho trio staring at them.

The Ino Shika Cho trio were indeed stunned. They just withness the scene of Akira hugging Tsunade just now and they were quite sure of the intimate relationship between Akira and Tsunade.

Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi and Nara Shikkaku all stared with wide eyes, their mouths open wide, completely in the shape of an 'O' and was speechless.

Are you kidding me? When did Akira and Tsunade-sama's relationship become so close? Are they not Sensei and student? This, this...

Choza's mind was overloaded in confusion, completely speechless and stared at Akira blankly.

Akira is also speechless, these three oversized light bulbs are really insensitive. ('three oversized light bulbs' is a Chinese idiom for being a third wheel)

Tsunade was panicking, when the three saw the intimate affection between her and Akira. She was a little shy at first, but gradually she pretended to be calm and regain a composure. After all, Tsunade is the legendary Sannin, she have to retain her dignity.

However, even so, Tsunade felt that her face was still slightly hot being stared at by the Ino Shika Cho trio. She then find a excuse, "Akira, you can talk with your friends, I will go first." After saying this line, Tsunade left as if running away.

Tsunade ran away, but the thrio was still stocked from just now. Not surprsising as the impact of knowing the relationship between Tsunade and Akira was too shocking.

"Akira, you, you, you really and Tsunade-sama..." After Tsunade left, Choza asked cautiously with wide eyes while his voice was dry.

Choza is so shock that he is not even able to speak coherently

Akira replied darkly: "Yes, it's like what you think."

"It's true?" Chiza wailed: "How is this possible, Tsunade-sama is the idol of countless ninjas and even the demigod Hanzo personally recognized her as one of the Sannin...How could such a proud and legendary female ninja like Tsunade-sama be with you?"

The corner of Akira's mouth twitched at Choza reaction. How could Tsunade be with himself? Is he that bad?

Choza also realized the slip of the tongue, ackwardly laugh and hurriedly said: "I mean, you have Mikoto and Kushina. Akira, your luck with girls is too enviable!"

Akira shrugged his shoulders and deliberately teased: "I also wonder why Tsunade like me, probably because I am handsome."

"Pff." This sentence almost made the Inoichi, Shikkaku and Choza vomit blood, while Choza has a look of grief and indignation.

At the same time, Akira is also a little proud. In the eyes of many people, Tsunade is like a princess of Konoha. She is the grand daughter of Hashirama Senju, a direct student of third hokage and is also one of the "Konoha Sannin" that Hanzo personally acknowledge. Hence he is indeed lucky to have such a highly accomplished and beautiful female ninja like Tsunade fell in love with him.

"Okay, don't say anything about me and Tsunade. Oh right, Shikkaku, I have also recommended you to Jiraiya and Orochimaru..." Akira briefly explained the situation, while Shikkaku was grateful to Akira for recommending him to the battlefield, which is also a great experience for Shikkaku to showcase his talent and earn recognition safely. (Because of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, two kage level ninja)

Shikkaku looked at Akira immediately with gratitude, while Inoichi and Choza looked at Shikkaku with some envy.

"I'm leaving first, I'm going to prepare for the next fight with Iwa forces." Akira chatted for a few while and excused himself.

The trio nodded in understanding and watch as Akira leave. Choza looked with envy and muttered to himself: "God, first Mikoto and Kushina, now even Tsunade-sama is that kind of relationship with Akira. Akira is really a winner in life!"

This time, Shikkaku and Inoichi nodded without hesitation, even they were extremely envious of Akira.
