Chapter 143:
About another week passed.
In the early morning.
Akira wakes up from his sweet dream, but the the first he saw is Konan already awake and she is smiling at him while leaning up to look at him.
"So early?" Akira asked softly with a smile on the corner of his lips.
"Hehe, I've made breakfast, it is your favorite ramen." Konan said with a smile, she want to take care of Akira in every possible way.
On the battlefield, a bowl of steaming ramen is simply considered the most extravagant food. Konan knows Akira's preferences, so she had deliberately puts the ingredients he like and this kind of treatment is only for Akira.
Akira finished taking a quick shower and the ate the noodles with a smile, while Konan looked at Akira eating with her chin on her palm as she smiled happily.
Whereas Jiraiya, Yahiko and Nagato didn't have such good treatment. The three of them ate a simple breakfast bitterly while envying Akira in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
The way Konan treated Akira is completely different compared to them. Jiraiya, Nagato, and Yahiko can only look enviously, but dare not make any requests.
Don't look at Koman with only a lively smile in front of Akira, but in front of Nagato and others, she will turned cold, unapproachable and even smiled very little. This makes Nagato and Yahiko's relationship with Konan now only at acquaintances.
Jiraiya also looked at the simple breakfast in his bowl and then at the steaming ramen with rich and steaming ingredients of Akira and he suddenly lost his appetite.
Jiraiya opened his mouth as well and was about to spit out a few words, but at this moment, he heard a crisp frog croal from outside the door.
"Huh?" Jiraiya's expression turned serious instantly as he became focus.
Akira also stopped eating his ramen.
The frog's croak just now was from Jiraiya's communication toad. Jiraiya is good at Mountain's Myoboku toad art and can use the toads to collect and communicate information.
Jiraiya opened the door and saw a palm-sized green toad jumped in. There was also a scroll on the toad's back, which was obviously the transported message.
"Thank you." Jiraiya patted the toad on the back and the toad disappeared into a puff of white smoke.
Akira squinted his eyes, Jiraiya's summon is really convenient, maybe I should go to a place like Mount Myoboku when I have time to find my summon animal?
Jiraiya picked up the scrolls, only to see that the scrolls were all encrypted with special codes. Jiraiya said, "It's news from Tsunade and the others..."
Jiraiya was still smiling at first, but gradually his brows were furrowed: "Akira, Tsunade asked you to go back to the Konoha's base. It seems like she have something important to discuss with you."
"Oh?" Tsunade actually sent information specially to me, which is obviously not a trivial matter.
"Well, Tsunade asked one of us to go back and she also especially hoped that you will go back. Something seems to have happened." Jiraiya said.
"No problem, I'll go back." Since Tsunade asked, Akira will naturally agree.
"Good."
"The three of you will stay here and I will be back soon." Akira give out several instruction. Although the three kids were reluctant, they can only obey Akira's words.
After giving out all his instructions, Akira hurried back to Konoha base immediately. At the same time, Akira was also puzzled, wondering what was going on right now, why did Tsunade recall him in such a hurry?
Akira was full of doubts and even accelerated the speed of his journey. The residence that Akira and Jiraiya also found was not too far away from the Konoha base, so Akira arrived in only half a day.
"Akira sama!" In the Konoha base, all the Konoha ninjas bowed to Akira. They were surprised and delighted when they saw Akira back and at the same time respected him greatly. Akira's name has already resounded through Konoha and these Konoha ninjas all admired and respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
Akira greeted these ninjas back and was then led by a chunin to the meeting hall.
"Tsunade sama, Akira sama is back." The chunin notified and Akira saw Tsunade.
She still have the perfect face, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, seemingly worried about something. However, when she saw Akira came back, her eyes brightened and she finally smiled.
" Has something serious happened, making me or Pervy sage rush back here?" Akira also unceremoniously sat across from Tsunade and couldn't help asking with worry.
While he was walking in the Konoha base, Akira had felt the solemn atmosphere.
"Yes, it's a big deal." Tsunade didn't waste time talking nonsense with Akira and said straightforwardly: "Suna and Iwa have temporarily alliance together to deal with our Konoha Village."
"What?" Akira was drinking tea, but his hand paused slightly and the tea spilled out.
Tsunade nodded, confirming the truthfulness of the news.
Suna and Iwa actually alliance together?
Akira suddenly frowned. This was indeed a major event, no wonder Tsunade wanted him to come back.
In the original story, the story about this war in the Ninja world are unclear, so Akira doesn't know if there is any alliance in between Suna and Iwa, or whether it is because his own existence has changed the plot, causing the two villages to temporarily alliance together.
"The conflict between the three countries is almost impossible to mediate, otherwise there will be no war, but Suna and Iwa are alliancing?" Akira squinted his eyes with thought. There are many conflicts between Suna and Iwa, but the two actually alliance together to deal with Konoha is really beyond Akira's expectation.
Akira suddenly thought whether it was because of his own existence that Iwa and Suna were more pressured than in the original story on the battlefield of the Country of Rain, so this forced the alliance to be formed.
"There are many conflicts and grudges in between Iwa and Suna, thus it won't be easy for them to be truly allied with one another. This kind of alliance is easy to break." Akira said calmly.
"That being said, this time Iwa and Suna's goal is very clear, which is to deal with Konoha, so we are facing a lot of pressure. The enemy has strong ninjas such as the puppeteer expert Chiyo and explosion corps captain Shirotsuchi, which will be a struggle for us to match both villages powerhouse. Orochimaru has taken Nawaki and Minato to the battlefield already..." Tsunade said seriously.
Akira nodded clearly, so it seemed that the frontline pressure was indeed great.
"So Akira, you must help this time. We have no advantage in the face of the combination of Suna and Iwa." Tsunade said.
Did Suna and Iwa really join forces?
A flash of cold light flashed in Akira's eyes and he was a little worried when he heard that both Nawaki and Minato rushed to the battlefield.
Akira said: "No problem, leave it to me."
This time Suna and Iwa joined forces might be be his chance to get stronger on the battlefield!
