Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

The Konoha ninja who asked Itamura Seiichi was his close friend and classmate Hosaka Teppei, who was stronger than him and was a special Jonin of Konoha.

Teppei Hosaka did not participate in this offensive mission, so it seemed somewhat unbelievable that Seiichi Itamura could still laugh despite being so seriously injured.

"Haha, Zheping, it's a real shame you didn't participate in this offensive mission!"

Seiichi Itamura smiled, revealing his two front teeth, but as he smiled, blood seeped from between his teeth, making him look quite terrifying.

"Seiichi, don't get excited, watch your injuries!" Teppei Hosaka glared at Seiichi Itamura reproachfully, then carefully helped him walk into the field hospital. "Once your condition stabilizes, you can share your joy with me."

"No, I'm going to tell you now! Cough cough..."

He coughed a few times, and although there was more blood at the corner of his mouth, Seiichi Itamura was still very excited.

"You know the Cloud Village AB duo who killed so many of our comrades, right? A is dead!"

"What?! Dead!" Hosaka Teppei was stunned at first, then overjoyed. "Great! He's finally avenged his comrade who died at his hands!"

"That's right, that's why I'm so happy! If it weren't for my injuries and the fact that Jiraiya-sama has strictly forbidden me from drinking, I would definitely have celebrated properly!"

"Don't rush to talk about celebrations. Tell me first, was the person who killed A a Jonin named Minato or the two Hatake brothers?"

"It must have been all three of them who attacked together..." Itamura Seiichi scratched his head. "I was entangled with a Cloud Ninja at the time, so I didn't see it clearly."

"However, on the way back, I heard from some of my comrades who were closer to the center of the battle that the one who actually beheaded A was Akira Hatake."

"Is it really Akira Hatake?" Teppei Hosaka raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not sure... I was already injured at the time..."

"Then what are you telling me!" Teppei Hosaka released his hands from Seiichi Itamura's arm. "I'll go ask someone else."

After saying that, Hosaka Teppei abandoned Itamura Seiichi and ran to a relatively large group of people to ask them for information.

"Hey...do you have to be so realistic...I'm your friend, and I'm injured!"

Despite his complaints, Seiichi Itamura still limped into the field hospital.

Moreover, he had barely rested on an empty hospital bed when he pulled aside a medical ninja who had come to treat his injuries and began to recount his experiences on the battlefield.

Thus, the news that the Cloud Village AB combination had fallen apart due to A's death spread throughout the entire camp at lightning speed as the Konoha ninjas who had carried out wartime missions returned.

This is arguably the first piece of exciting news from the Land of Fire since it started its war with the Land of Lightning.

Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi, who played key roles in the series, have once again become three names frequently mentioned by everyone.

……

"Very good. With A dead, the top combat power of Kumogakure will be completely out of balance with ours!"

Jiraiya held the scroll sealing A's head in his hand, his face radiating heroic spirit. "Let's organize the troops. I think we can launch a full-scale attack on them tomorrow!"

Jiraiya made this decision after careful consideration, as the top combatants of a faction play a crucial role on the battlefield.

Before A died, the AB combination could barely hold back Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi. If Killer Bee transformed into his tailed beast form, he could gain a slight advantage in the battle against the three.

Because of this situation, the Konoha ninja forces, which were outnumbered, could not gain much advantage against the large force of the Kumogakure ninjas.

Although Jiraiya, the leader of Konoha, has not yet made a move, he will not easily intervene unless absolutely necessary.

He needs to be wary of the Third Raikage's sudden arrival, or other backup plans prepared by the Hidden Cloud Village.

But now that A has been killed, the Land of Fire will have a top-tier fighter available.

Regardless of which of the three—Hatake Akira, Hatake, or Akira—this top-tier fighter is, they can pose a significant threat to the Hidden Cloud Village's ninja forces.

After all, whether it's the Flying Thunder God Technique or Kakashi's Bloodstained Elimination Sword Technique, it will be a one-sided situation when facing Chunin and Genin on the battlefield.

Some might argue that there are still Jonin in Kumogakure, and with more of them, they could restrain any one of the three, including Hatake Akira.

That was indeed the case, but the Jonin of Konoha were not to be trifled with either, and there was no reason for them to allow their top combat power to be besieged.

Therefore, once the top combat forces are out of balance, the scales will tip in favor of the Land of Fire when the two sides clash.

The reason is simple: the top combatants are just too strong when it comes to mowing down enemies!

croak.

Jiraiya summoned a communication toad from Mount Myōboku. It hopped twice and landed at Jiraiya's feet, opening its mouth wide.

Jiraiya didn't stand on ceremony. He bent down and stuffed the sealing scroll into it. After thinking for a moment, he put the mission report for this attack into the mouth of the communication toad.

puff.

After the information that needed to be transmitted was stuffed into the mouth of the communication toad, the communication toad turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.

"Alright, A's head and the report on this attack mission have been sent back to Konoha. You all should hurry back and rest. Tomorrow, we'll work together to completely drive the Land of Lightning out of the Land of Hot Springs!"

"Yes!"

Akira and the other two nodded in response, and then left Jiraiya's command tent.

After the three left, Jiraiya turned around and looked up at the field map hanging on the wall, carefully studying the specific attack route and tactical configuration for tomorrow.

He intends to take advantage of this imbalance in top-tier combat power to completely drive the Hidden Cloud Village ninja forces out of the Land of Hot Water.

As for the Cloud Village's fierce counterattack, Jiraiya was confident he could handle it!

……

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

Bang, thud, bang bang bang!

The Raikage's office was now a complete mess, and the Third Raikage's already fierce face looked even more ferocious.

A is dead!

A is his son!

The next Raikage successor of Kumogakure is dead!

Moreover, what lies before the Third Raikage is a mutilated corpse with a headless head, broken legs, and a large hole in its chest!

More importantly, A's head is gone. Not only has he lost his last dignity as a ninja, but the remaining information in his mind will also be completely squeezed out by the Konoha's interrogation ninjas!

Ninjas have many ways to obtain information, and there are at least 1000 ways to torture ninjas to obtain information from living people.

Moreover, there are no fewer than five other methods that allow them to extract a great deal of information from the dead.

Take the Yamanaka clan of Konoha as an example. Their family secret technique, Mind Transfer Technique, can not only read the memories in the brains of the living, but also the dead.

Although the information recorded in the brains of the dead may be incomplete, A is an important figure in Kumogakure, second only to the Third Raikage. Even if only a tiny bit of information is revealed from his brain, it would be a serious loss to Kumogakure.

Besides the reported losses, A's death also dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas.

Although a sense of "a desperate army is bound to win" may arise in the short term, this sentiment will not last long. Moreover, the impact of top-tier combat power on the front-line troops cannot be erased by emotions alone.

"Summon all the ninjas in the village! All of them!"

After venting his anger and smashing the office to pieces, the Third Raikage's long hair flew wildly as he shouted loudly towards the closed door.

"Yes! Lord Raikage!"

The members of the Thunder Shadow Guard answered respectfully, then closed the office door that had just been opened with all their might and disappeared in a flash.

At this time, no one wants to risk trouble.

Whether the Third Raikage's decision to mobilize all Cloud Ninja to attack the Land of Fire was right or wrong was no longer being considered.

Kumogakure was ultimately still the Raikage's domain...

Even if it were elevated to the level of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, he could only make things difficult for the Third Raikage financially; there was nothing else he could do.

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

The communication toads of Mount Myōboku were very fast, and the news of A's death, along with the related mission report, was now on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.

Unlike Jiraiya's excitement, the Third Raikage was enraged to the point of losing his mind, while the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was calm to the point of being unsettling.

In the office, apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi's puffing cigarette, there was no other sound.

"Sigh... How foolish!"

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed heavily and shook his head, gazing in the direction of the Land of Lightning.

"Now, it's a complete and irreconcilable feud with Kumogakure..."

"Let's take it one step at a time. Right now, we just hope that Jiraiya can hold on."

"Someone is coming."

After taking two more puffs of his pipe, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned the Hokage's guards.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Notify the entire village that we are now in a state of full-scale war. All genin who have graduated or are about to graduate will be on the conscription list. They should be ready to await further instructions from the village!"

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

After the Hokage's guards left, Hiruzen Sarutobi went to the floor-to-ceiling window in his office and looked down at Konoha, his expression a mixture of emotions.

Chapter 142 Kakashi breaks through again.

Actually, when Akira Hatake drew his sword and beheaded A, he did weigh the pros and cons for a moment.

But soon, Akira Hatake made up his mind to kill him.

Regardless of what role the future Fourth Raikage A will play in the future timeline, at least for now, A is Akira Hatake's enemy.

Why bother considering so many pros and cons when dealing with an enemy?

If you have enough ability, you can take on all the problems!

As for the Kumogakure's furious retaliation following A's death, Akira Hatake had long anticipated it.

But so what?

With the Flying Thunder God Technique and its many derivative ninjutsu, Akira Hatake has become one of the very few people standing at the very top of the ninja world at this stage.

It's not that the Flying Thunder God Technique is particularly powerful, but rather that it's incredibly versatile.

As for the weak, there's no question about it; if you even glance at them, you're doomed.

There are many different opinions about the strength of a person.
