Chapter 168:

After discussing with the Sannin, Akira and Tsunade decided to deal with the Iwa forces together, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya will join force to deal with the Suna force. With the decision made, they began their preparations.

A group of sensory type ninjas have been sent to the base to closely monitor the movements of Iwa and Suna forces in order to act promptly.

In the mean time, Akira spent his time adapting to his mangekyo sharingan, preparing himself for the next fight with the four-tailed jinchuriki.

The four-tailed man jinchuriki Roshi is a kage level powerhouse in strength even without the four tailed beast power. With the four tailed beast chakra, Roshi can display even greater strength. Moreover Roshi can tap into the four tailed beast chakra and he can use several of the four-tailed beast abilities, so Akira have to be cautious.

Iwa possesses four-tailed and five-tailed beasts, which were given to Iwa by Konoha's founder Hashirama Senju who is a pacifist as a goodwill to peace, but his kind intention have been misplaced as they use the tailed beast for their war and destruction instead.

Akira continued to train diligently as he know the fight with four tailed jinchuriki will be a hard one. In fact, Akoda's current strength is only equivalent to quasi kage level without his mangekyo sharingan. Only with his mangekyo sharingan can he compete with the strong kage level powerhouse, so this also made Akira realize his own shortcomings and have been working hard recently.

Tsunade naturally acted as Akira's sparring partner. With the strong relationship between Akira and Tsunade, they cooperated very well with each other. So this period of time they have been busy sparring and training.

Akira's improvement was great and this had amazed Tsunade. Akira's current strength had grown strong enough to compete with the Sannin. Of course, the final result is hard to say.

Although Akira had awakened his mangekyo sharingan, but the Sannin are also very strong and have a lot of techniques. The Sannin all have connection with the three mysterious sacred places in the Ninja world such as Mount Myobu. For example Jiraiya from the original story have been practicing sage technique in Mount Myobu since he was a child and he definitely have a trump card.

Of course, Akira also has his own trump card.

After Akira and Tsunade finished sparring, both sides were sweating profusely, while Kona was the only spectator clapping and applauding: "Brother Akira is so strong and cool."

Akira smiled, standing side by side with Tsunade. Both of them were sweating profusely and it was obvious that they were exhausted.

Tsunade seeing that Akira face were filled with sweat, gently helped Akira wiped his sweat. Which make Akira happy from the bottom of his heart.

Whereas Konan who saw this scene, pursed her lips and seemed a little jealous. Akira couldn't help but smile. How old is this little girl, she actually jealous of Tsunade.

Akira immediately hugged Konan and kissed her on the cheek, which made Konan very happy.

When Tsunade saw this scene, she also gave Akira a slightly annoyed look. In Tsunade's mind, Konan is still so young and Akira kissing her in the cheek is a lolicon.

Poor Akira doesn't know what Tsunade is thinking, otherwise he woukd have felt wronged.

"Our upcoming battle will be up against the power of the four-tailed jinchuriki. Tail beasts are being with huge collection chakras and powerful strength. Do we need to develop a combat strategy?" Tsunade asked actively.

Akira smiled: "No, I have a way to deal with him."

Tsunade was startled. Seeing Akira's slightly mysterious smile, she was surprised, but at the same time expectant. What on earth Akira plan to do?

The power of a tail beast is beyond doubt, the four-tailed jinchuriki must be a very strong ninja, but Akira was still very confidently. Which make Tsunade curious about Akira's plan on taking the four tailed jinchuriki down.

Akira and Tsunade restored their Chakra and then continued paying close attention to the situation in Iwa forces.

Finally, in the afternoon of the next day, an important message came from Konoha's sensory ninja.

"Tsunade-sama, Akoda-sama, there is confidential information on Iwa's forces!" A messenger sent the information, all of which were densely encrypted characters, which only Tsunade, Akira and the higher ups could interpret.

Akira received the information, glanced at it roughly and his eyes lit up: "Iwa has acted and they are already moving out for the alliance with Suna!"

"Who is the other party?"

"Like our previous intelligence, the Iwa force is being led by the four-tailed jinchuriki Roshi and a team of elite ninjas. The number is not very large, less than 20 people."

After all, it is a meeting and it is definitely not a war.

After Akira got the information, he found a map, took a closer look and ponder on his plan: "According to our information, there is a road that Iwa forces must pass, near Hamon Mizu River if they want to alliance with Suna."

Hamon Mizu River is afamous river in the country of rain. At present, Iwa's sphere of influence in the country of rain is basically on the west of the Hamon Mizu River, so Hamon Mizu River is the only way to go.

"Then we will lie in wait near Hamon Mizu River." Tsunade concluded.

"Yes, that is the plan." A smile appeared at the corner of Akira's lips and he was excited and couldn't wait to ambush Iwa.

The four-tailed man jinchuriki will be the first jinchuriki and tailed beast Akira will faced after coming to this world. Of course Akira had some expectations. What's more, this time it is related to whether Iwa and Suma can work together. No matter what, this must be prevented.

After getting the information, Akira and Tsunade began to prepare fervently.

At the same time, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were also preparing their plan against Suna and they separated their work. In addition Jiraiya and Orochimaru followed Akira's suggestion and brought Nara Shikkaku and fifty other elite ninjas along.

The four gathered together. Akira then looked at Orochimaru and Jiraiya who were waiting solemnly and smiled while saying, "Don't be taken advantage of by Suna. You two, act carefully."

Jiraiya glanced at Akira with slight dissatisfaction when he heard these words and replied out of anger. "Don't underestimate us, whereas it should be you Akira and Tsunade that may have trouble. Are you really sure that it's okay that only two of you is enough?"

"What do you know, we are a match made in heaven and nothing can stop us." Akira said.

Jiraiya was speechless, but Tsunade blushed and glared at Akira out of embarrassment.

"Why don't we make a bet, how about who will end the battle first?" Akira saw that Orochimaru and Jiraia were a little unconvinced and said with a smile.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru then discussed with their, they didn't believe that Akira and Tsunade could solve the battle faster than them. Hence Jiraiya immediately said while unconvinced: "What are we betting on?"
