Aqua and Akane's Decision

Everyone was aboard Rose's private jet, and the atmosphere was a mix of relief and curiosity.

Akane, unable to contain her questions, turned to Sasuke and inquired, "Dad, even though it's our first time meeting, I want to know what you think about me?"

Sasuke chuckled at her question and replied, "Well, you're an angel, Akane, just like your mother."

Rose, blushing at Sasuke's words, playfully scolded him, saying, "Idiot..." The moment was a blend of lightheartedness and warmth as they traveled together.

As the reunited family shared their moment, Izumi and Shikimori observed them with joy. Izumi expressed his happiness, saying to Shikimori, "Sasuke-san is my grand sensei, and I'm really happy for him."

Shikimori, feeling a sense of relief, took Izumi's hand and replied, "I hope we can also find happiness in the future." The shared sentiment between them hinted at the possibility of a brighter future for everyone.

Aqua suddenly appeared and addressed Sasuke, "Sensei, Danzo ran away as you said, but after investigating his data files, it seems like he and Umbrella are planning something."

Sasuke nodded and responded, "Yes, they are, for sure. But for now, tell me, how is Naruto?

" There was a moment of silence, and Aqua hesitated before saying, "Father, I don't think he will forgive Mother so quickly after what happened in the past."

Sasuke sighed and, with a heavy heart, made a request to Aqua, "There's something I want to ask of you, Aqua."

Aqua, surprised, asked, "What is it, Sensei?" Sasuke replied, "I don't want you and Akane to end up like Naruto and Ai, so what have you both decided?"

Akane, with determination, responded, "Father, after witnessing how you and Aqua fought and seeing how much Aqua has changed, it's like I don't even recognize him. So, Aqua and I have made a decision."

Akane glanced at Aqua, and both nodded in agreement. Aqua then explained, "For now, Akane will focus on her work, and I will focus on ending this zombie madness." Their decision caught everyone off guard.

Akane asserted, "This is the decision that Aqua and I have made. Our feelings can wait, but those zombies won't."

Sasuke, concerned, asked, "Are you both sure? Look at me and Rose, then look at Izumi and Shikimori." Rose chimed in, "Just think for a moment. Love is something that can destroy you or make your life beautiful."

Aqua added, "It's our final decision, and as for Izumi and Shikimori, I will make sure these new couples enjoy their youth."

Izumi looked at Aqua, and with a mix of emotions, he stammered, "S...Sensei..."

Aqua gently patted his head and reassured him, "For me and Akane, even if our fates lead us in different directions, even if we're not meant to be together..."

Akane interjected, placing her hand on Shikimori's shoulder, and added with determination, "We will make sure that all of you will be happy." The sincerity in their words resonated with the group, and a sense of understanding enveloped the moment.

Elsewhere, Danzo engaged in a conversation with a mysterious man. Danzo expressed his disbelief, stating, "I can't believe I was defeated by that so-called hunter." The mysterious figure responded, "What did you expect? That guy not only carries the blood of Naruto but also the will of Sasuke."

Danzo retorted, "Aqua won't be a significant threat as long as the three legends don't unite like they did before." The mysterious man shivered, remembering Naruto and the other two formidable figures. He remarked, "Don't remind me of Naruto and those two; they are true monsters on the battlefield."

The fear of those three individuals loomed over Danzo and the mysterious man. The mere thought of Naruto and the two others sent shivers down their spines, recognizing the formidable power and unmatched skills that made them legendary figures on the battlefield. The shadow of these three warriors cast a daunting presence, instilling a sense of dread and apprehension in those who dared to oppose them.

As Naruto entered Ai's house, a heavy atmosphere hung in the air. Ai, attempting to make amends, approached him cautiously. Naruto, wearing a cold expression, interrupted her with a question about his accommodation. "Ms. Hoshino, where is my accommodation?" he inquired. Ai, holding back tears, responded, "There are guest rooms here..."

Naruto, without showing any emotion, acknowledged, "I see. Then I will take any one of them." He started walking towards the rooms, and Ai, with a hint of hesitation, added, "Naruto... The rooms are..."

Interrupting her, Naruto tersely stated, "I know, Ms. Hoshino. I never forget anything."

The tension in the air grew heavier as Naruto proceeded to his chosen room without further delay.

Upon entering his room, Naruto settled into a chair and extracted a cigarette, commencing a session of contemplative smoking. His thoughts were a mixture of frustration and determination."Damn you, Kakashi sensei," he muttered quietly, "put me into all of this trouble. Once this mission is over, I'm gonna make sure to cut ties with her permanently."

The tendrils of smoke swirled around Naruto as he shifted his focus to the mission. Determination etched on his face, his primary goal became crystal clear – to bring this mission to a swift conclusion. With each exhale of smoke, Naruto steeled himself, resolute in his intent to close the chapter involving Ai in his heart for good.
