Chapter 70:

Konoha base.

Minato walked in front while Akira finally led Konan back to the base

Konan looked left and right curiously as she hid timidly behind Akira, a little scared. Her little hands held Akira tightly and her eyes were full of attachment, not wanting to let go for a moment.

"Brother Akira..." Konan whispered.

"Relax, with me here, no one will dare to bully you." Akira said lightly.

Akira's voice was very calm, but what he said made Konan's heart warm. Konan looked at Akira and already regarded Akira as the closest person to her. No, it should be said that Akira saved Konan under the Iwa ninjas slaughter and treated her so well, thus Konan's feelings for Akira are already somewhat similar to some blind worship.

Just a simple sentence from Akira and Konan can do almost anything for him.

Akira led Konan into the base camp and they were greeted by the curious eyes of the Konoha ninjas, probably because it was strange how he had brought a little girl back.

"Akira, I'll go to the main camp first." Minato said.

"Got it." Akira nodded, he had to take Konan to tidy up first, as she was still a little messy and dirty.

Akira took Konan's little hand to his temporary residence and then asked her: "Konan, you go take a bath first, I will prepare clothes for you to change after your bath."

"Oh." Konan's face was flushed and she nodded obediently.

"You can go take your bath." Akira coughed. Although Konan was only four years old, it was obviously impossible for him to help a girl, Konan bathe.

Konan went through bathe obediently while Akira specially prepared a set of clothes for Konan. Because Konan was too thin, there was really no suitable clothes, but he could only make do with it.

After a while, Konan finally finish her bathing and walked out wearing loose clothes.

Konan's light blue and purple hair was wet, her face was flushed, eyes bright and she looked at Akira a little shyly.

"Brother Akira."

"Ok, you look very beautiful, Konan, you will definitely become a great beauty when you grow up." Akira praised with a smile. After listening to Akira's praise, Konan was extremely happy, with a deep joy in her eyes and a sweet smile.

"Konan, your talent is very good, especially you have a unique ability to comprehend 'paper', maybe you can develop in this aspect in the future." Akira laughed.

"Ok." Konan nodded seemingly.

Akira didn't say any more, Konan is still young and he is not in a hurry to let her get in touch with ninjutsu.

In this way, Akira and Konan temporarily settled down in Konoha base and a few months passed in a blink of the eye. Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru are still busy dealing with the Iwa ninja forces, therefore they haven't returned yet.

While the fact that Akira and Minato had killed elite jonin ghost blade had also been spread. Many interested people in the battlefield were shocked that Akira was able to actually kill a elite jonin. This is different from Akira's previous victory over the puppeteer Minako. This time, he killed Ghost Blade directly! (It is harder to kill than defeat, because a desperate ninja facing life and death will use all their trump cards and unleash all their potential,etc)

This made Akira's reputation even more reknown and many ninjas has started to noticed Akira, especially the ninjas from Ame.

In Konoha's base, Konoha's ninjas looked at Akira with respectful eyes and all of them felt that Akira was too powerful.

Looking at the world of ninja, how many people can kill elite jonin when they are less than ten years old?

Genius, absolute genius!

Akira's name spread more widely for a while and his fame became more and more popular. Although he was not as reputable as Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, but he has gradually began to appear in the sight of various countries and became an existence that cannot be ignored.

After a few days, Akira, Minato and others received news that Konoha and Iwa's battle at the front line finally ended temporarily and Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya also began to lead the ninja troops back to base

Finally, after two days, Tsunade and others all returned!

At Konoha's main camp, Akira and Minato both went to greet as Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kato Dan and others all returned to the base. Akira and Minato have been standing at the entrance early and waiting for them for a long time.

"Jiraiya Sensei!" Minato bowed respectfully to Jiraiya as well Tsunade and Orochinaru, respectfully.

Meanwhile Akira shrugged on one side.

Tsunade didn't care about Akira's attitude either, she had been used to it and sometimes Akira even called her directly by name instead of Tsunade-sensei.

On the other hand, Orochimaru focused on Akira's body, looked up and downband said with a touch of emotion: "Tsunade, I have not seen your student for a long time, but he had grown stronger. I have been hearing his name quite a lot recently and I even had heard that he had killed a elite jonin, really amazing..."

Orochinaru has always paid close attention to Akira. Akira's name began to resound in the country of rain and Orochimaru naturally paid close attention to Akira news.

A flash of pride flashed in Tsunade's eyes and she was happy for Akira. The Sannin had also known about Akira's achievement in killing ghost blade, so they expressed their appreciation to Akira.

...

Kato Dan saw Tsunade and all three of them admiring Akira and a gloom flashed in his heart together with his eyes became a little gloomy.

"You are over-praising me." Akira said indifferently. He didn't feel much about the praise of the Tsunade trio. It was nothing more than, he had just killed a elite Jonin, but it was never his goal. (He is aiming to be the strongest, so his goal is to beat stronger enemy)

"What is the situation with the war against Iwa ninja this time is?" Akira asked.

As soon as he mentioned this, Jiraiya sighed and said bitterly: "Don't mention it, Iwa has sent a lot of strong ninjas this time, there is even a special special 'explosion unit' with very strong combat capability. On the frontal battlefield, we have almost no advantage."

Is Iwa so strong? Even the three sannin are having trouble with this?

However, Akira remembers that there are also some fragments in the original story. Iwa is indeed tough, they had once besieged all three sannin and Jiraiya was also seriously injured and finally had to wait for rescue before getting out.

Akira squinted his eyes and began to calculate.

"Don't mention it anymore. By the way Akira, do you have any good plan or strategy to help us?" Jiraiya also looked at Akira hopefully and suddenly asked. After the last raid on Suna village, Jiraiya attached great importance to Akira's plan and strategy.

As soon as he said this, everyone focused their attention on Akira.
