Chapter 186:
There were at least a few hundred people at the village entrance, all of them are Konoha villagers as well as ninja who came here spontaneously. At the front of the crowd stood the third hokage.
The third hokage made a special trip to the village entrance to welcome the return of Akira and Sannin, which shows how much their current reputation has reached.
Akira looked at Orochimaru next to him and he also look a little excited with the warm welcome. The current Orochimaru has not yet completely turned mad. Although he is on the verge of degeneration, but he had still made a great contribution to this Ninja World War.
Similarly Tsunade was also happy with coming back to their home and her eyes flashed with excitement and joy.
Akira smiled and looked at Tsunade and Orochimaru reaction, as he was the most calm in comparison.
"Look it is the hero crescent eye reaper!" Seeing the three heroes appearing at the entrance of the village, the people in the village were even more excited, especially the admirers of Akira, as they madly chant the name of Akira and his alias. The sound of the chanting became louder and louder, finally converging into a torrent of sounds, cheering ceaselessly.
Countless boys and girls are looking at Akira with admiration, especially some of the girls in the village are blushing with flushed small faces, as they look dreamily at Akira.
Akira is currently wearing a ninja suit. The experience of the battlefield over the past few years has tempered his temperament and he had learnt to be extremely calm. As a Uchiha, he is also Born with a naturally handsome face and as he got closer to the crowd, he seem to have attract the attention of a large number of girls.
Unlike the gloomy temperament of Orochimaru, Akira looked chic and casual, as if bathing in spring breeze. It seems like those with Uchiha bloodline are genetically beautiful, with most Uchiha having perfect and attractive features. Which Akira has also inherited, so there was no question about his handsome appearance.
Orochimaru heard the crowd cheering, but most of the people in the cheers were still chanting Akira's name. Hence his lips couldn't help but twitch, feeling quite uncomfortable, a little jealous, but at the same time helpless.
Akira glanced at Orochimaru, vaguely aware of Orochimaru's thoughts and could not help but curled his lips. Orochimaru is also a sad character among the Sannin. He failed to win against Minato for the position of Hokage although he had the backing of Danzo. He was then pulled into the darker realm together with Danzo, to experiment on inhumane things. To put it bluntly, Orochimaru sadly have bad social relations! His minimal interaction with others and the love for the village had turn into hatred, which in turn made him turned mad in the pursue of immortality.
Seeing that Akira is so popular, Tsunade glanced at the cheering girls in the crowd again and her heart was a little sour. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch Akira's waist slightly, causing Akira to grown in deep pain.
Sure enough, no matter how magnanimous women are, they will be jealous.
Akira smiled and turned his gaze. He had already reached the entrance of the village and saw his acquaintances.
A lot of Uchiha clan mans have also arrived, together with the clan patriach Uchiha Fukai personally arriving. Moreover there are also two innocent and lovely girls, Mikoto and Kushina.
If Akira was only simply welcomed when he went back to the village last time, then this time when he came back to the village, it was almost like a celebration party.
Just thinking of Akira's record on the battlefield during this period of time, like repelling Hanzo, destroying Iwa squad, killing Shirotsuchi and repelling the four-tailed jinchuriki have warrant him many meritorious deeds...
Almost everything can be called a major event that can shake the battlefield of the Country of Rain!
Akira's reputation has became very renown and Konoha took great pride in it.
"Greeting to Hokage Sama" Tsunade and Orochimaru both greetee the Third Hokage. Whereas Akira smiled slightly and casually greeted perfunctory, as he didn't like to be too formal.
"Okay, okay, okay! You have been working hard during this time, you are all my Konoha heroes!" Third Hokage looked at the three with gratification. Tsunade and Orochimaru are his disciples, and Akira is also a anbu greatly valued by him. They are without doubts Konoha well-deserved heroes and their return naturally made the Third Hokage very happy.
Both Mikoto and Kushina looked at Akira, with a sweet smile on the corners of their lips, revealing a rich surprise and the cute blush on their faces was as red as an apple.
Seeing the adorable and lovely looks of the two young girls, Akira's heart softened instantly, a slight smile on his face as he winked at the two girls.
Both Mikoto and Kushina were blushing, but they boldly looked at Akira and did not hide the affection in their eyes. Maybe it was because there were too many girls who were cheering Akira's name next to them, that gave Mikoto and Kushina a sense of crisis.
Akira winked at the two lovely girl. In front of the third hokage, Akira couldn't make too many obvious small movements.
The Third Hokage smiled faintly: "You have just returned to the village, so let's go home and rest for a while. I will then have something to discuss with you in the afternoon."
Akira acknowledge as this time Third Hokage had recalled the three of them, was clearly to planned their strength and prepare for the final battle of this Ninja World War.
"Hai Hokage Sama." Akira, Tsunade and Orochimaru's acknowledge.
The Third Hokage smiled: "Then I will leave first." After all, the third hokage is a very person and it is not suitable for him to stay there for long. Being able to appear at the entrance of the village and wait for the three to come back is already a great honor. The third hokage use body flicker jutsu, as his figure flashed, leaving only an afterimage in the same place and leave.
Even thought the Third Hokage left, but the crowd around Konoha did not disperse, as still continue on their cheering for the three of them.
After the third hokage had left, some girls seem to have gather up their courage and came up to give flowers. Seeing these girls coming up to give flowers shyly, Akira couldn't refuse them, right?
However Akira is also secretly feeling really good with all the little girls worshipping him.
The three enjoyed the celebration from the villagers for a while and Tsunade said, "I will return to the Senju clan first. See you in the afternoon."
"Okay." Akira watched Tsunade trot away, while Orochimaru exchanged eyes with Akira and left at the same time.
Only Akira was left and he decide to walk towards the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Fukai smiled and looked at Akira. The two of them looked at each other tacitly, while Mikoto and Kushina were already unable to bear it, as they directly threw themselves, one on the left and one on the right into Akira's arms, breaking the hearts of countless onlooking girls.
"Brother Akira, I miss you." Mikoto whimpered pitifully, her big beautiful eyes covered with mist.
Whereas Kushina buried her fiery red hair in Akira's arms, took a bite on Akira's shoulder and muttered, "You are finally back, we have waited for so long."
Akira hugged the two young girls on the left and the right, smelling the faint fragrance of them and his heart was filled with melted sweetness.
