NARUTO PLAYERS OF CHAOS CHAPTER 24 : DANGEROUS GENJUTSU 2

"Akira! Help!" Sakura cried out, her voice filled with panic as she struggled to keep her head above the water. Apparently, the Genjutsu lifted itself the moment she enter the strong water current.

Hearing Sakura's distress, Akira's heart raced, he already knew that if he did not save Sakura right now then she is as good as dead. Without a second thought, he leapt into action, relying on his ninja training and instincts. He sprinted along the riverbank, he was not sure whether he should also enter the water considering that he might to get carried away by the current.

Spotting her struggling form amidst the rushing water, Akira quickly devised a plan. He knew that he needed to be cautious, or he could end up endangering himself as well. Akira quickly formed hand signs and channelled his chakra into his feet, allowing him to run on the water's surface. He might have lost his Tenseigan and In Born Talent for the time being but he still retains his in incredible chakra control. Not like he is doing this for the first time either. He is pretty much mastered this long ago.

As he closed in on Sakura, he threw her a lifeline—a strong, flexible Ninja Wire that he always carried in his ninja tool pouch, aka everywhere carry ninja item 101. "Grab onto the rope, Sakura! I've got you!" he shouted.

Sakura managed to grab the ninja wire just in time, and Akira used his strength to pull her closer to the riverbank. However, the current was relentless, and both of them were struggling to stay grounded.

Drawing upon his training, Akira focused his chakra, using it to strengthen his grip on the rope and stabilize himself against the powerful flow. This chakra strengthening was very similar to his growth power thus but he was just imitating it. Most of the good ninjas can do that if they have good control over their chakra. Tsunade and Sakura being an exceptional example who not only strengthen themselves but even go beyond normal physical power.

With every ounce of his strength, he slowly pulled Sakura towards safety. She clung to the ninja wire with all her might, trusting Akira to save her. She was panicking for sure but not as much as Akira expected her to do.

It was a gruelling effort, and the strain on Akira's body was immense ( He is only 12 without any physical enhancements), but he refused to give up. Finally, with sheer determination and resilience, he managed to bring Sakura to the riverbank. At this point, Sakura have already swallowed much of the river water and needed a lot of time to cough up all that water to turn back to normal.

The moment Sakura was back on solid ground, she hugged Akira tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Thank you, Akira! You saved my life!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with gratitude and relief. Sakura might even not know that she was hugging and holding Akira so tight that Akira could feel her growing breath which Akira could have been sure that was not this big in the canon was pressing against him. Not like that, he mind that.

Akira smiled warmly, relieved that his friend was safe and the awesome reward she was giving him for that. "Of course, Sakura. That's what friends do," he replied humbly.

"You think that you can walk," Akira asked Sakura.

Sakura tried to stand up but she could not. Not because she physically can't but it was her mind. She was very afraid to move right now.

Akira thought about it and did not let Sakura again.

"Come on, I will carry you to the hospital," Akira said. Not because he wanted to feel that perky breast even more. Not at all, he did it because that's the right thing to do.

Sakura looked at Akira and then his back then nodded and climb up. She did not say anything and buried her head behind Akira's back.

Akira was the same. He did not ask much about this to Sakura either because he knew that this is not the right time.

"For the time being, I better let this go but later on I need to find out what the hell is going on here. But for the time being its time for me to enjoy

I mean help out Sakura. Yes help Sakura and comfort her. Akira thought to himself and started walking towards the  Konoha Hospital.
