Chapter 40 - Saving Pakura
Chapter 40 - Saving Pakura
[A few minutes before Akihiko's arrival]
Pakura was sent to Kirigakure as an ambassador. It was a top-secret mission so she left in secret. When she arrived to Kirigakure, there was a chunin from Kirigakure waiting for her. ??
"Lady Pakura of the Scorch Style, I have been sent here to welcome you. It has been a great honor to meet you. Because this valley is covered with mist, we thought we should come and guide you." The ninja said as he bowed.
She didn't think much and answered, "Thank you very much but there is no way I would get lose in a valley like this one."
The ninja just chuckled and said as he made way, "That's true, well then, please, after you."
"Thank you"
Pakura just closed her eyes for a second and walked past the chunin. But then, she felt something penetrate her from behind.
"Ugh"
[A/N: That's sus.]
Pakura felt blood coming out from her back as she asked, "W-what are you doing?"
"I am showing you the same pain felt by my comrades when your village killed them! Don't worry, the higher ups of your village will use your death to gain some benefits from Iwagakure!"
Pakura first showed disbelief and then glared at the chunin.
The chunin just laughed and said, "Hahaha, What? Are you angry? Even if you wanted revenge, you can't do anything once you're dead!"
Pakura fell towards the ground and felt her vision slowly blackening, although she saw a silhouette of a man appearing in front of her.
The chunin backed out quickly as he waited for the barrage of shurikens to come and finish her off. However, he saw something that shocked him.

[Akihiko PoV]
'Man, I'm just gonna go swish, swish, swish and bam. Mission Complete!' I thought as I arrived at the location.
As I arrived there, I saw Pakura lying on the ground as a kunai is stabbed in her back. There was also a chunin dashing backwards but I didn't care much about it as around a hundred of shurikens were flying towards here. It would not be a problem for me but Pakura would die.
So, I immediately created a large shield from my left arm and threw a shuriken tagged with my seal towards the chunin.
All the shurikens didn't reach us as I covered both me and Pakura with the shield. Right after that, I just teleported towards the chunin and dashed as there was a small distance left. I quickly cut his head off and there was just the sound of a body falling on the ground.
*Thud*
I threw another kunai up the hill. It was not too difficult for me as my physical strength was monstrous. I just teleported there and saw around 50 chunins and genins there waiting for the mission to succeed.
"Y-you who are you?"
One of them asked as all of them focused on me.
"Me? I'm Babatunde." I said as I arrived right in front of them and started killing them one by one with my partner, ChunChunMaru.
Some of them tried to fight back but it didn't take long for the fight to end.
Well, it was more like a massacre but you get the point.
[a/n: Did I get it right?]
I teleported back to Pakura and saw that she was almost dead. I just took out a kunai and made a small cut on my finger. A drop of blood came out and I opened her mouth and dropped it in. I knew that my blood started having healing properties as I drank the Fountain of Youth. A drop of blood is enough to save her life although it won't heal the injury immediately.
I mean why would I heal her fully. I should make an excuse that she still needed medical care as her injury isn't fully healed. She will think about how Sunagakure and Kirigakure betrayed her. I will bring her to Konoha with a disguise on her and have her manage my shop. Big Brain Move.
I carried Pakura as I teleported to a small hut inside a forest. Yes, this was the same forest that I came with Izumi although currently I was in the western side while the flower garden was in the Eastern Side.
Some birds felt my presence and came here.
Some of the birds talked to Akihiko in birdy language as Akihiko laid Pakura on the bed.
"Wow, are you a playboy?"
"What about Izumi-chan?"
"Damn riajuu, explode!"
Although, the bird who said the last sentence was bonked hard by his sister.
I just smiled and said, "I guess you can call me a playboy? I still love Izumi, but I also love many other girls. Also, wait for me here. I need to exterminate a bandit group."
The birds nodded and I prepared to leave. But before I left, I heard a brown feathered bird shout with determination, "I will become a harem king and have lots of birds in my harem!"
Hearing that, I remembered a certain pervert from another anime.

[20 minutes later]
Akihiko could be seen sitting on the chair beside the bed. On the bed lied Pakura with some bandages wrapped around her, which was done by the animals. Although, Akihiko didn't know where they even found bandages.
'System, collect the reward'
[Mission Completed]
[Reward: Random Music Player]
[Description: You can set an action as an activation code and when the action is done, the skill will play a random song. Can be turned off with a mental command.]
Akihiko thought, 'I can finally listen to some music that I actually like'
As he thought that, Pakura opened her eyes slowly and muttered, "What? Didn't I die?"
Akihiko replied from beside her, "Nope, although you almost died from the attack of the chunin from Kirigakure."
Pakura let out a sigh, "I see, I almost die-, Wait a minute, Who are you?"
She turned her head a bit and saw a purple haired, golden eyed young man she saw at the chunin exams. After she turned her head, she felt pain and turned her back upwards again.
Akihiko smiled and said, "Me? I'm Akihiko, Pakura-san. Also, don't move too much. Your injuries are not fully healed."
"Were you the one who saved me? Aren't you just a chunin? How did you even save me? You are from Konohagakure. Why did you help me?" Pakura asked as she remembered what the chunin from Kirigakure said at the end.
"Yea, I'm the one who saved you. As for how I saved you, let's just say that I am very strong. I didn't save you because the Hokage asked me to, I did it because I just needed someone to help run my shop. What do you think? Do you want to help me?" Akihiko said the most unbelievable lie.
Pakura thought for a while and then she agreed, "Alright, I will follow you for 3 years. After that, I will leave if I wanted to. This is to repay you for saving my life. After that, I will destroy Kirigakure."
Akihiko just smiled as he thought that Pakura won't be leaving him after 3 years. 3 years is a long time to make someone fall in love with you.
"Anyways, let's go."
Akihiko said as he carried Pakura and teleported to his home. Meanwhile, Pakura thought, 'Wait a minute, is this the Hiraishin no Jutsu? Also, did he wrap the bandages for me? Oh SHiT! My injury hurts!'
