Chapter 42 - A Day Full Of Surprises
After finishing their date, Akihiko, Kushina, Mikoto and Izumi teleported back to Konoha.
Them Mikoto and Izumi stayed at the Uchiha Compound, while Kushina went back to her home.
Akihiko remembered that Pakura was still in his home so he teleported there.

[Naruto PoV]
I was thinking about what Sasuke said today. What would he feel like if his two last family members are dating Akihiko who helped him the most?
As I was thinking that, I heard Mom calling for me. I guess she came back from whatever she was doing huh? Anyways, that\'s not my business.
I ran downstairs to greet my mom and when I reached to the living room, I saw that she had a smile and she radiated a pink aura. It meant that she was extremely happy and will give you lots of pocket money.
I smiled seeing that my mom was happy. She looks sad before we met Akihiko and slowly, she became happier and happier. Yea, this was all thanks to Akihiko.
Akihiko….
Wait….. Akihiko.
Naruto remembered the conversation that he had with Sasuke one hour ago and his thoughts ran wild.
\'Is mom also dating Akihiko?\'
Kushina felt something odd with Naruto so she asked him, "Naruto, is there something wrong?"
Naruto smiled like nothing happened and said, "Nothing mom, I just wanted to ask if I could go and train with Sasuke."
Kushina replied, "Alright, but come back before dinner, alright?"
"Yes, mom" Naruto quickly agreed as he ran towards Sasuke to tell him the suspicions he had.

Akihiko was currently sitting beside Pakura who was asleep and had there were lots of cookie crumbs on the floor, the bed and the table.
Akihiko looked around and saw that she ate almost all of the cookies he had left.
Akihiko just sighed and thought \'As I thought, nobody can refuse the cookie\'
As he was thinking that, he felt that someone watching at him intensely.
He looked out of the window to find that Hinata was hiding behind the tree although her hair and clothes could be seen.
Akihiko dashed behind Hinata and asked, "Yo, Hinata-chan, what\'cha doing?"
"Ahh!" Hinata yelped in surprise before calming herself down.
"I was observing you. Who is that woman in your house?" Hinata bluntly questioned.
"I saved her and she volunteered to follow me. So, I gave her a job and a place to stay. And, where are you looking at, Hinata-chan?" Akihiko replied.
Hinata who was currently blushing as she still had her byakugan open and looked at Akihiko\'s lower body part quickly answered.
"N-nothing. I-I have to go back to my house now. See you later, Akihiko-kun." Hinata replied and quickly ran away.
Akihiko smiled and was about to return back inside before he heard someone again.
\'Ahh shit. Here we go again.\'
"Hey Akihiko, I just have something to ask you. Do you have time?"
Akihiko turned around to see Asuma who looked slightly nervous.
"Yep, where do you want to talk?"
"Let\'s just talk here. It won\'t take too long."
"Alright, Asuma-san. What do you want to ask me?"
Asuma then replied with a serious face.
"I think I found someone I love again. She is just a normal woman from a small village near Konoha. I met her during a mission. She was kind and caring but I am worried about her safety. What should I do?"
\'What? We aren\'t even that close for you to ask me relationship advices. But I guess I\'ll help you.\' Akihiko thought before answering.
"Asuma-san, are you an idiot? If you think you love her, then just confess to her and if she agrees, bring her and her family to Konoha. When you both are ready, you can marry. That\'s the only thing I can think of." Akihiko said while nodding like a sage.
Asuma thought deeply and thanked Akihiko before going back.

Meanwhile, in the Uchiha Compound, Naruto and Sasuke could be seen whispering back and forth intensely with a complicated look on their face.
"What? You think Akihiko is also dating your mom?" Sasuke asked as he felt even more shocked.
"Yea, but we need to make sure about it before we ask them." Naruto said surprising Sasuke even more as he was starting to use his head.
"Umm, Naruto, is it really you?"
"Yea, why?"
"You are using your brain for the first time."
"WHAT! Do you think I am an idiot!\'
The two then started to compete with each other, leaving the important matter for later.

[Ino PoV]
I started learning our clan jutsus from my father as I already finished learning the basic Justus. Currently, we were resting as we took a short break from training.
"My little princess, why did you start to take your training seriously?" My dad asked me as I didn\'t pay attention to most things before.
"I-I just want to stand beside someone proudly." I answered with a slightly red face as I remembered the promise between me and Akihiko.
"Hmmm, ok. It\'s good that you already got over that Sasuke-boy." My dad replied proudly although he seemed a bit suspicious of my reply.
My mom saw how acted and beside me, "Do you have someone you like?"
I immediately blushed and nodded slightly.
My dad also heard it and veins started popping on his forehead.
"HUH! WHO IS IT?! I WILL GO AND GIVE HIM A BEATING!"
[a/n: Please stop. Get some help.]
My mom made my dad quiet just by a sentence. She said, "Keep shouting if you want to sleep on the couch for a week."
Although he became quiet, he still had an angry expression.

[Team Guy]
"Guy-sensei, why did Akihiko-san become that strong?" Lee asked as he felt curious.
Guy nodded and answered, "Listen the three of you, Akihiko is more than a genius. He is a man of focus, commitment and sheer YOUTH!!! He trained extremely hard everyday and his hard work paid off. That\'s how he became strong. Remember that."
"Hai, Guy-sensei."x3
The three of them listened to this and felt that they should work hard. Lee started respecting Akihiko since that day.

Akihiko currently didn\'t know what to do as Pakura was deep in sleep, Kushina, Mikoto and Izumi were with Naruto and Sasuke or so he thought. He just decided to go and meet Teuchi the Sage of Six Bowls.
"Yo Old Man Teuchi. Ayame-chan, did you miss me?" Akihiko said cheekily as he entered the small shop.
Ayame felt happy inside but hid it and said, "Yea, yea, what do you want to eat?"
"Just like normal, a bowl of Miso Pork."
"All right. Coming right up." Teuchi said as another customer entered.
"Eh? Yugao-sensei? I didn\'t think I would meet you here." Akihiko said as Yugao sat beside him and nodded.
"Me too. I would also like a Miso Pork Ramen." Yugao also ordered.
[a/n: Don\'t get me wrong. I also know other types of ramen…. or maybe not.]
After a few minutes, Teuchi finished making the two bowls of ramen and gave it to both Akihiko and Yugao.
"Itadakimasu!"x2
After eating, Yugao suddenly said something surprising.
"Akihiko"
"Yes?"
"Do you have time for dinner tomorrow?"
Akihiko decided to tease Yugao, "Ehh? Are you inviting me on a date?"
"Yes." Yugao bluntly answered.
"You\'re making me blush, Yugao-sensei. But may I ask the reason why?"
"I-I just wanted to. You already saw me naked anyways." Yugao dropped the bomb making both Teuchi and Ayame shocked although Ayame also felt annoyed.
"Alright, Yugao-sensei."
After that, it was slightly awkward in the restaurant as the other customers also heard it. Akihiko left the shop and returned to his home after he finished everything.
