Outside the tent, Akane noticed the spike in Tsunade's chakra, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
'Did something happen? I don't think so since she has released a very small amount of chakra. Is she showing off by chance?'
'Hmm, I guess that's what she is planning to do.'
Akane understood that Tsunade was trying to show off her strength so that she could move freely without any worries in the camp and chose missions she wanted to.
Even though she had said that it wouldn't take long for them to return, Akane planned on taking full advantage of this mission to learn things he hadn't learned before. Most importantly, analyze the bodies of different people when working as Medical-Nin to learn more about the chakra, the limits of the body, how chakra affects us and how he should proceed in future.
The research on Eight Inner Gates by Tobirama would give him the base he needs to start, and with that, he would be able to enhance and break his limits in future.
'Or I could have just focused on the spiritual energy aspect and played with people in dreams, but for that, I would need them to be asleep to have an effect on them.'
Lost in thought, Akane didn't notice Tsunade coming out of the tent. Noticing his thoughtful expression, Tsunade didn't disturb him. Instead, she asked the guard ninja to show the empty tents for their place to stay. Before he could say anything, the ninja was called inside by Shikakuro, and Tsunade let him go instead of holding him and walked towards Akane.
"Anything important?" She murmured in a low voice while staring at his face. Her words woke Akane out of his thoughts, and shaking his head, he replied, "Not much, just a few random things. What about you? Everything sorted?"
"Yeah, I am sure he will spread the required information to others. You just need to fight a Chunin for show, and that's it. While he is looking for someone, you will be coming with me. I will introduce a few people who have worked under me, and you will work with them in case I am not here."
Akane nodded at her words, and a moment later, he asked, "You will be doing solo missions?"
"I might. Although I would like to take you on every mission, there are some things I can't do, and I have to tell you a few things in front of everyone."
"Hmm, I understand." Akane nodded at Tsunade's words, and he agreed with her. Even though they were close, it wasn't in front of villagers and ninjas. Besides, as a ninja of Konoha, it was already treason for Tsunade to bring someone unknown into the base, and if it wasn't for her status, Mito's backing and Hiruzen's backing, she would have already been declared a traitor.
"Let's go to our place and then inform Grandma that we have reached here. I also need to sort the information I received from my Shadow Clones so I need a quiet place." Tsunade said while rubbing her head. The information from the four Shadow Clones was a lot more than she had expected and now she had to sort all the information before making a plan.
Nodding at her words, Akane asked where their place was, and a silence appeared between them. Tsunade looked at the entrance thoughtfully and then shook her head.
"Follow me," She said to Akane, who nodded at her and followed her. Walking beside her, Akane noticed all the people who met them glancing back and noticing their looks, he rolled his eyes.
"You sure are popular," He said to Tsunade with a mischievous smile. Looking at his smile, Tsunade thought of something and then shook her head.
"Nope, don't do anything that would make things even more troublesome. Besides, don't forget what grandma said about your identity."
Tsunade knew that Akane was about to do something that would definitely annoy the people. Even though a part of her wanted to see it, she thought of the overall situation and decided that it was better to keep things as they were.
Hearing her, Akane thought of Mito's words, and a sigh flew from his lips. He decided to shelve the idea of kissing Tsunade in public at the back of his mind, for now.
After walking around for some time and asking around, Tsunade found two empty tents together in isolated places. Before entering, she created another Shadow Clone, who stood outside and then pulled Akane into her tent.
"I will sort the information. Till then, you can inform Grandma about us and also tell her that our journey will be delayed a bit."
Akane looked at Tsunade who was going to lie on the mattress. Thinking of the idea he had before, he took a step forward. Chains shot from his hands towards Tsunade.
Before Tsunade could understand anything, her hands and legs were wrapped in chains. She noticed her body weight decreasing and her body being pulled by the chains.
"Ak-kun?"
Tsunade called Akane out and looked at his face. Her eyes widened at the sudden contact of their lips, and her gaze focused on the teasing look he had in her eyes. She felt him wrapping his left arm around her waist and pulling her closer so that her weight fell on him.
His right hand played with the strands of her hair, and his lips sucking her lips as if trying to suck her soul out.
"Mmmm!"
Tsunade tried to move her hand to escape from his grasp. She opened her mouth and moved her tongue to get a hold of him, but the plan backfired. As soon as she opened her mouth, she noticed his tongue sliding inside her mouth and rolling with her tongue.
The touch was making her lose her strength, and the playful look in his eyes made her heart race even more.
'He is enjoying playing with me like this,'
The thought came into her mind, and for some reason, her body loosened at the thought. The strength she was trying to gather faded away,y and closing her eyes, Tsunade decided to accept this turn as her defeat and accept everything he was trying to do.
This was noticed by Akane, who raised her brows. Noticing her eyelashes and the defenseless look on her face, Akane felt his heart skipping a beat. The chains around her hands and legs loosened and her body fell on his. Holding her tightly, Akane also closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss they were sharing together.
Outside the tent, the Shadow clone looked at the entrance with an irked look on her face. The kissing and smooching sounds were loud enough for her to hear, even though she was trying her best not to focus on it.
If possible, she wanted to disperse herself, but she knew that if someone saw them, it would become problematic for everyone. So, she held on and looked outside with a dead look in her eyes.
