6 Chapter 6

Akira walked through the streets of the village in deep thoughts. He had finally managed to figure out a very important information.

He was fucking dense!

How could he have not realised that the training he had been giving the academy students in past one month was extremely advanced. He also forgot about how he could learn and master any skills or techniques instantly.

'No wonder all the ninjas are wary!' Akira mused.

He didn't even know what skill and techniques were hard or easy because everything was too easy for him and the things he taught were from his world so he had nothing to compare with!

He could currently feel many presence spying on him and he couldn't help but groan.

'I need to self-aware about what I teach.'

Akira steadily got to a particular Ramen store where a particular blode whiskered brother of his was in depressed mood.

"Hey Naruto! What's wrong?" Akira decided speak with Naruto as he had nothing to do at the moment since Karin was still busy with her medical studies.

Naruto's eye shined as he greeted Akira, "Akira-niichan! You are here! I was just talking about you with Ayame-neechan here about how awesome Ramen you cook."

Akira looked at the cute brown haired girl who was looking at him with burning eyes.

Akira sweat dropped, "Umm... nice to meet you. My name is Akira Kurogane."

Ayame put her hands on her hips as she huffed, "So you are the mysterious niichan who can cook Ramen even better than us, huh?"

Akira awkwardly smiled, "I guess..."

Ayame came forward and grabbed him, "Cook R.A.M.E.N Now!"

Akira was stumped at her demand, "Are you sure it would be alright to cook here? Isn't this supposed to be your store?"

"Yes! We can't let you steal our favourite customer from us, can we now?" Ayame glared.

"If you want I can just give you the recipe." Akira said trying to calm her down.

"I want to see with my own two eyes how you cook. You know that seeing is believing, right?"

Akira sighed, "Alright, might as well. Nothing better to do for now after all."

"Yatta! Akira-niichan's Ramen!" Naruto cheered.

Akira wore the only apron there was as he started his cooking. Ayame was intently looking at the procedure while Naruto was already drooling with anticipation.

Heavenly aroma wafted as Akira cooked. Such aroma was bound to attract people and it certainly did as a chubby boy rushed inside and sat on the chair of the store.

"Whatever it is that you are cooking I want it as well!" The one who yell was Chouji Akimichi. As someone who was from Akimichi clan, he was bound to be a food lover as they specialised in making delicious food and rations for ninjas.

"Troublesome... Chouji, could you at least tell me where you are going before you run off." Shikamaru lazily strolled in.

"Hey! Shikamaru and Chouji! You guys here to eat Akira-niichan's Ramen as well?" Naruto enthusiastically greeted them.

"Whoa! So you mean Akira-sensei is the one cooking right now!" Chouji's eyes sparkled. He already thought that the new teacher was amazing as his teaching was extremely easy to understand and helped him get stronger.

'So he is a good cook as well?' Shikamaru pondered.

Ayame was busy watching the process as she was amazed by the man in front of her. She had never seen such a cooking style before!

"So I guess it's Ramen for four?" Akira said as he layed out the dishes in front of him.

All the present people were practically salivating because of the smell.

"ITADAKIMASU!!!"

All the four of them started slurping the Ramen. Ayame ate the Ramen with disbelief.

'How can it be so good!?'

Naruto and Chouji were crying with happiness while Shikamaru quietly ate the Ramen.

'This is not just a delicious food... it also contains nutrients for the body with optimal fats and carbohydrates which will not negatively affect the body unlike the normal Ramen.' Chouji thought as his respect for his teacher increased even more.

"Hey sensei! How about you sell the recipe to my clan?" Chouji voiced out.

Akira glanced at Ayame and shook his head, "Sorry Chouji but I already promised to give Ayame-san here my recipe."

Ayame looked at Akira with wide eyes, "We don't have any money to give you for such a recipe."

Akira smiled kindly which made Ayame's heart beat faster as her face got red, "I am giving you the recipe for free." Akira ruffled Naruto's hair, "I wouldn't want this little guy to come running to me each and every time for food now, can I?"

Ayame just nodded shyly while Naruto whined at being called little.

"Well I guess it's bad luck for us." Chouji said in a depressed tone.

Seeing Chouji in such a state, Akira patted his head.

"If you want I have other recipes as well, you know?" Chouji perked up as Akira said that.

"Really!?" Akira gave a nod.

Shikamaru carefully examined Akira since his father had warned him about him but no matter how he looked at him, he couldn't see him as any other thing than a kind and soft hearted person.

Chouji excited grabbed onto Akira, "Let's head to my place! You can give out your recipes to my dad. You guys can come as well."

Ayame declined since she had to watch over the store due to her father's absence.

Akira bid Ayame goodbye as he went towards the Akimichi compound with Chouji, Naruto and Shikamaru.

Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka and Chouza Akimichi were currently at Akimichi compound as they were having a particular talk about a certain anomaly.

"So Inoichi... what do you think Akira Kurogane's motive is? With all the ruckus he's caused, there is bound to be something he is upto." Chouza asked Inoichi.

Chouza Akimichi was Chouji's father while Inoichi Yamanaka was Ino's father. He had asked Inoichi for advice since he was adept in psychology of humans.

"From the information we have got till now. All I can say is that..." Inoichi paused.

"That?" Chouza asked impatiently.

"He is a dense person that has no clue to what he has been doing. He seems to think that the lessons he taught are mediocre at best while in reality it is one of the most effective and sophisticated lessons we have seen."

"I agree with Inoichi. I have observed him and it seems he thinks his lessons are not that outstanding. All the things we have learned till now only tells us that he is in no way a threat to the village." Shikaku said as he agreed with Inoichi.

"Or maybe he wants us to think that way?" Chouza added his two cents on the matter.

"By making the village even stronger? Have you seen the results of those training and exercises he gave? It's useful not only to academy students but to the higher ranking ninjas as well. In these few weeks the casualty rate of our ninjas during missions was decreased simply because they practiced those breathing exercises." Shikaku snorted in disbelief at how utterly ridiculous it was.

Chouza hummed as they thought about what to do in the future regarding Akira.

"DAD!!! WHERE ARE YOU? I HAVE GOT IMPORTANT THINGS TO DISCUSS!" Chouji's voice echoed out.

"What is that boy upto now?" Chouza muttered as he got up to meet up with his son.

"What is it Chouji? What are you yelling for?" Chouza reprimanded him.

"Oh look dad! These are the recipes of Akira-sensei! We have to try these out! His cooking is absolutely amazing!" Chouji said with excitement.

Chouza raised his eyebrows, "Ok... but where is your sensei?"

Chouji frowned, "He was suddenly challenged by a bushy eyebrowed guy. Naruto and Shikamaru are with him as well. His name was Might Guy?"

Chouza widened his eyes.

'This might be the opportunity to see his real strength!'

"Chouji stay here! Me ,uncle Shikaku and uncle Inoichi have important matter to attend to. Till then, give the recipes to the cook and try it out."

Might Guy, he was a simple man who believed that with hard work there was nothing you won't accomplish. He was mocked in his early days for not being able to properly use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu but he made up for that with training hard on Taijutsu.

He was now currently facing off against the Akira Kurogane who has been gaining popularity due to his Taijutsu lessons.

"YOSH! LET US START OUR YOUTHFUL SPAR!" Guy said aloud while Akira looked at Guy with disbelief.

He was on his way to Akimichi compound but suddenly a wild Guy appears and drags him to spar spouting about fanning their youthful flames.

The main reason Guy challenged Akira was due to the subtle manipulation of Danzo as he spread the rumours of his excelling Taijutsu skills.

"YOSH! HERE I COME!" Guy rushed at Akira.

There were many people currently watching the spar. Even Anko and Kurenai were there.

"Pst! Nai-chan, you think Akira can handle Guy?" Anko whispered to Kurenai.

"I don't know. Akira-kun has shown quite a lot of skill regarding Taijutsu but we don't know anything regarding how powerful it is." Kurenai said watching intensely at the match.

"Dynamic Entry!!!" Guy attacked with a high jump kick.

Akira simply twisted his body and got to the blind side of Guy but how could Guy be considered one of the best Taijutsu Master if he allowed that?

"Leaf Whirlwind!!!" Guy launched a spinning kick at Akira as soon as he landed but only managed to hit empty space.

"Huh!?" Guy immediately felt pain on his lower body. He looked at Akira as he had just received a powerful low kick from Akira.

Guy's leg trembled, "Tell me my youthful friend. How did you manage to damage me this much with just a single kick?"

Akira shook his head, "I had already delivered 10 kicks on the same exact spot. The area between your calf and thigh muscles. That's the reason you are unable to move your legs properly."

Guy grimaced. 'I should have taken off my weights!'

Akira too was a bit disappointed since he saw that Guy actually fought while wearing weights. It was disrespectful to him so he ended the match early with disabling his legs temporarily.

"You should be able to move properly after few hours... next time it's better to not underestimate your opponent." Akira said walking away.

Guy bowed in apology, "My youthful friend, I meant no disrespect. It was indeed my fault but I merely wished to know the limits I have. Surely you understand as a fellow Taijutsu Master?"

Akira stopped, "If you really mean it then, I won't mind sparring against you another time. Just don't hold back. In order to know your limit, you must release it... not hold it in."

All the people watching were amazed. Even with Guy wearing weights, he was someone not to be trifled with but Akira just defeated him with ease.

"Nai-chan, did you see that!? Damn! He looked so cool!" Anko gushed like a fangirl.

"Yeah..." Kurenai too agreed with red face.

There was no point in denying that girls liked strong and cool guys.

Normally the both girls wouldn't be crushing on Akira but the time he spent with Anko and Kurenai, he had basically mastered the art of flirting without his own knowledge.

With his terrifying flirting ability with cluelessness, he could be fitted in the category of dense protagonist.
