Chapter 41:
Akira bid farewell to Kushina and Mikoto, before going to the Hokage tower with Sakumo and Minato.
In Hokage's office, third hokage was examining and approving documents. After seeing Akira, Minato, and Sakumo coming in, he smiled slightly and said, "You are all here."
"Yes, hokage sama." Sakumo said.
Third hokage look toward Akira and Minato and said, "I asked Sakumo to call you two here because I have a task for both of you."
"Third Hokage-sama, what is our task." Minato said with vigour.
Third hokage: "At present, the war is getting more and more intense. We, Konoha are up against Suna and Iwa fighting on the battlefield near our land of fire. So I have ask my students Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade to separately lead a group of ninjas to the frontline and fight."
"At present, most of the combatants in our Konoha have joined the war, but there are still some shortages of combatants in the frontline, so I plan to let both of you join the battlefield." Third hokage solemnly said.
Joining the battlefield?
This time is completely different from the previous mission of spying on Ame hideout and collecting intelligence. This time they are truly joining the battlefield! Going the front line of war!
Akira and Minato are both strong and third hokage want to let them gain experience in the battlefield. Therefore he planned to put them on the battlefield.
Third hokage still attach great importance to the nurturing of Akira and Minato. After all, Akira and Minato are both geniuses, and one of their teachers is Tsunade and the other is Jiraiya. Therefore, third hokage also intend to let Akira and Minato go to the battlefield to go though hardship and grow stronger.
As for the intense war and the lack of manpower, although it is true, it is only a excuse for Akira and Minato to go on the battlefield. After all, even if there are not enough combatants, they are still not desperate enough to sent Akira and Minato.
"Boy, it seems like this time you will be really going to the battlefield." Sage of the six path and Akira communicated
Akira nodded his head discretly
"Minato, Akira, do you two have any objection?" Third hokage asked.
Akira and Minato looked at each other, and both shook their heads without objection: "No problem."
"Very well, then I will send you two to the country of rain to support the frontline, go join forces led by Tsunade and Jiraiya and fight with them!" Third hokage said.
Support Tsunade and Jiraiya?
Akira's thought in his heart, the only thing person he hadn't met among the Sannin was Jiraiya and it seemed that he could finally see the so called "Ero Sannin/pervy sage' this time.
"Yes sir!" Akira and Minato both nodded.
"Well, Sakumo, you also have another task, you come with me. You two go down first, pack up and set off." Third hokage said.
Akira and Minato nodded and left the Hokage tower. Minaro still held his fists tight with excitement: "I can finally join the battlefield! Akira, don't you feel excited"
"Of course." Akira nodded, facing the battlefield, no one would be indifferent.
In Akira's view, the second Ninja World War will be where he will make a name for himself. During the Second World War, Konoha white fang, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hanzo, etc, are all the famous names resounded through the Ninja world and their achievement wrote a lot of colorful story. How could such a stage be missing him?
The enthusiasm in Akira's heart gradually boiled and being able to fight against the experts of the ninja world made him enthusiastic just thinking about it!
"lets go, pack our things!"
Minato and Akira quickly packed their belongings, Akira returned to the clan and told Fukai and Mikoto about his deployment for the battlefield. Fukai prepared some food pills and the tools and give Akria and he also gave Akira a tanto as a weapon.
But Mikoto was a little unhappy, pouting her little mouth as she didn't want to see Akira leave.
Once kushina knew of Akira deployment to the battlefield, she rushed to his house to visit, and said with a loud voice, "I want to go to the battlefield too…"
Akira hearing this squeezed Kushina face: "You should stay in Konoha for the time being. Don't worry, I don't expect to go for too long this time."
Kushina was blushing by Akira's affectionate actions.
"This is what you said, you better promise." Mikoto's eyes lit up and said immediately.
"Ok, I will be back soon." Akira laughed.
"Akira, we should go!" In the distance, Minato waved to Akira to remind him.
Akira also nodded without procrastination: "Well, let's go."
kushina and Mikoto watched on as Akira leave with reluctance, Akira waved his hand and prepared to leave with Minato. Two young girls, Kushina and Mikoto, have been watching Akira's back as he walk to the entrance of the village.
At this time at the entrance of the village, Akira saw another acquaintance.
It is Choza.
Choza was seen running out of breath, dragging his somewhat chubby body, and holding something in his hands. He ran and shouted: "Akira, Minato, this is the food pill I prepared for you. Our Akimichi clan specially made food pills!" It turned out that Choza had learned about Akira and Minato going to the battlefield, so he made a special trip to here to give them food pills.
"Thank you, Choza." Akira patted Choza on the shoulder. Seeing Choza sweating and panting, he was a little bit touch in his heart.
"What are you polite for, hehe. Akira, I am waiting for you to come back triumphantly, I'll then ask you to eat barbecue together!" Choza smiled.
"No problem." Akira agreed.
After bidding farewell to Choza, Akira glanced back at the two girls in the distance, only to see Kushina and Mikoto still standing in place, watching him leave with reluctant eyes, Akira felt warm.
"Come on, Minato."
"Yep."
The figures of Akira and Minato flashed, completely disappearing from the entrance of the village and travelling to the country of rain. Akira and Minato were not slow and they also carried maps with them. They knew where Tsunade and Jiraiya's troops were, so they ran without stopping.
The country of rain was about two to three days away from the land of fire. Akira and Minato advanced at full speed without daring to delay.
Finally, two days later, they reached the border between the two countries…
