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

When encountering opponents with weak defenses or slow reaction speeds, Akira Hatake relies on the unparalleled speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if he can't kill them in one blow, he can always find an opportunity to slowly wear them down.

Even when facing a well-rounded triangular warrior and assassin like the Third Raikage, Akira Hatake can easily handle the situation by relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique and its derivative ninjutsu.

Not to mention that Akira Hatake also has a third skill. As long as he can ensure that the Third Raikage doesn't leave his 15-meter range, no matter how strong his defense is, it's no different from paper in Akira Hatake's eyes.

Furthermore, with the added benefits of various equipment from the equipment shop, Akira Hatake's chakra recovery speed, life energy acquisition and recovery speed, and even attack speed and reaction speed have all been increased by a percentage.

In conclusion, if Akira Hatake doesn't dare to kill A, then he really has a problem.

Don't even mention that A's death will have an irreversible impact on the future timeline of the ninja world. If we're talking about impact, the world had already changed the moment Akira Hatake arrived.

The advantage of his precognitive memory is gradually being lost, but Akira Hatake doesn't seem to care.

All he needs to do is figure out who the various bosses behind the Naruto world are.

Akira Hatake didn't care about the other supporting characters at all.

Moreover, after killing A, Akira Hatake made an additional discovery.

The gold coins obtained after killing a powerful and renowned ninja like A actually have an extra bounty bonus!

In addition to the original 300 gold coins, Akira Hatake received an extra 1050 gold coins as a reward.

What does this mean? It means that Akira Hatake has found another way to farm gold coins.

Moreover, even after the Third Shinobi World War ended, Akira Hatake was still able to obtain a large amount of gold coins in this way.

This discovery greatly surprised Akira Hatake, but the surprise quickly vanished without a trace.

Because he still has to work overtime today!

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Kakashi, who can now create hundreds of multiple shadow clones, is training at an absurdly fast pace, and therefore needs Akira Hatake's assistance even more.

Seeing that Akira Hatake was distracted, Kakashi was slightly annoyed. "I have a good chance of breaking through tonight, brother, so be serious!"

"I know, I know!" Hatake Akira replied irritably, then transferred a mouthful of life energy to Kakashi.

The current third skill has seen a significant improvement in both attack and support stats compared to before.

There are bonuses from Akira Hatake's own strength, as well as some bonuses from equipment, and there are also bonuses from the increase in Akira Hatake's own life energy, which brings to his third skill, Tai Gua: Longevity.

In short, one sip of Hatake Akira's milk now equals five sips of milk before; it's absolutely one "thick phlegm" that can instantly kill a special Jonin.

However, aside from assisting others in their training, Akira Hatake does not plan to use his third skill when mowing down enemies, since the mechanism of simultaneously reducing his own life energy would make him feel very uncomfortable.

After all, in battle, Akira Hatake cannot enjoy the passive recovery effect of his third skill, and the reduction of his own life energy will undoubtedly have a significant impact on his strength.

Despite the invincibility attribute of the Holy Grail, after a period of continuous combat, Akira Hatake's life energy recovery speed will be at an inhuman level.

However, to be fair, there is a 0.75-second delay when the Tai Gua: Longevity is activated. In that short time, it is enough for Akira Hatake to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to mow down dozens of ninjas...

Therefore, unless encountering a highly defensive ninja like the Third Raikage, Akira Hatake generally wouldn't use it.

It's also worth mentioning that, thanks to the influence of equipment attributes, the cooldown time of the third skill, Tai Gua: Longevity, has now been reduced to less than 20 seconds.

This undoubtedly increased the efficiency of Akira Hatake in assisting others with their training, and he was clearly solidifying his reputation as a support-type ninja.

Although Akira Hatake is currently known as an extremely powerful offensive ninja, that is only true for now.

After all, Akira Hatake has the template of the hero Ming Shi Yin. Although Ming Shi Yin is positioned as a support in the game, his ability to deal damage is quite impressive in the early and mid-game with the support of equipment.

Let's leave it at that for now. When the Naruto world reaches its later stages, it will be time for Akira Hatake's support abilities to truly shine...

Because the cooldown time of the third skill is shortened and the healing amount is increased, Kakashi, who is being supported, can train at an alarming rate.

With the help of hundreds of Shadow Clone Jutsu, it's no exaggeration to say that Kakashi's one night of arduous training is equivalent to three to five years of diligent practice by others.

In addition to the power of Blood Elimination, Kakashi's training this time will also include pure swordsmanship skills and comprehensive improvement of his physical fitness.

During his battle against Killer Bee in his tailed beast form, Kakashi had already noticed his own shortcomings.

Moreover, he has always been resentful that he failed to complete the feat of splitting the Tailed Beast Ball with his sword.

Although Kakashi later learned that the true nature of the Tailed Beast Ball was actually slightly higher than that of the Bloodstained Elimination, it would still be difficult to cleave the Tailed Beast Ball with just the power of the Bloodstained Elimination alone.

Therefore, Kakashi set his sights on the "physical" sword aura that Akira Hatake had mentioned to him before.

Physical sword energy is simply the wind pressure generated by the speed of sword swings that creates sword energy.

Although this type of sword energy is very difficult to master, once mastered, its power can even shatter space itself!

The reason for this conclusion is because of Kai's opening of the Eight Gates later on.

The final kick from Night Guy landed on Madara's face. At that moment, the shattered space was twisted by the black staff formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball. If it were any stronger, could it have shattered the Truth-Seeking Ball directly?

Although Akira Hatake subjectively believed it was impossible, since there was a glimmer of hope, it meant there was a slim possibility, and there was no harm in giving it a try.

As time ticked by, the hundreds of Kakashi's multiple shadow clones had almost completely dissipated, and Akira Hatake's own chakra reserves had been depleted by half.

Because of the improvement in various basic attributes of Akira Hatake, his current total chakra amount and basic chakra recovery speed have long exceeded the limit.

I wouldn't dare say he surpasses Kisame Hoshigaki, the humanoid tailed beast, but Akira Hatake is now on par with him.

Kakashi's chakra reserves at this point already surpassed those of any other ninja in the current ninja world, and he could easily be crowned the No. 1 ninja, excluding Jinchuriki.

Just as all of Kakashi's shadow clones disappeared, and after Meito Hatake gave him his last breath of life energy, Kakashi's body underwent an astonishing transformation from the inside out!

First, there's height. Kakashi has suddenly become a head taller than Akira Hatake, and this height difference was formed in a short period of time tonight.

Secondly, there's the change in body shape. Kakashi's originally lean and muscular physique has become full and rounded, with more perfect muscle lines, stronger explosive power, and significantly improved muscle resilience.

Finally, there's Kakashi's silver hair. Compared to Akira Hatake's silver hair, it appears even shinier, glossy, and fluffy, adding a touch of vitality to the silver-white color.

Kakashi's vibrant silver hair is the most powerful evidence, from the side, of the earth-shattering changes that have taken place inside his body.

First, there's life energy. Kakashi broke through the third stage previously defined by Akira Hatake, which is the top-tier physique of the Ashura lineage, represented by Hashirama Senju.

Although he was still some distance from achieving the Sage Body, Kakashi had undoubtedly already mastered the basics and was at least on par with Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina's incredible vitality was already evident when the Nine-Tails was extracted from her body.

To be honest, Kushina's physique is already really strong.

Secondly, there's the activity of his body's cells. Influenced by the massive life energy, Kakashi's body cells are more active than ever before, and his body's recovery attributes have directly jumped to a higher level.

The increase in cell activity also simultaneously affected Kakashi's total chakra, allowing him to directly surpass the threshold of a humanoid tailed beast and become the "Zero Tailed Beast"!

Finally, it was the abundant and vigorous life energy within Kakashi's body that allowed him to break through the limitations of his original physique, gradually increasing the number of chakra natures within him from five to six.

The newly added chakra attribute is Yang attribute chakra.

However, it is somewhat of a pity that although Kakashi's body was born with Yang Release chakra, because he is a member of the Hatake clan and does not possess the Otsutsuki bloodline, the Yang Release chakra in Kakashi's body is not only weak, but also pitifully small.

There's nothing we can do about it, but Akira Hatake has always firmly believed in one principle: quantitative change leads to qualitative change, or qualitative change leads to quantitative change.

If you have to choose one of the two, even if Akira Hatake uses his life energy to force Kakashi to reach the Six Paths level!

Of course, this process is lengthy, so it can't be rushed.

"Brother, thank you!"

After carefully experiencing the many changes that had occurred in his body, Kakashi opened his eyes and immediately locked his gaze on Akira Hatake.

"We're family, so don't be so formal. Just remember to protect your brother in the future."

Akira Hatake brought up the old issue again, and now that Kakashi has surpassed Akira Hatake in some aspects, there's not much of a problem with him saying that.

"I will, brother, I will always..."

"I know." Akira patted Kakashi on the shoulder, interrupting him. "Get some rest. We have a big battle waiting for us tomorrow."

Chapter 143: War Mobilization by All Sides and Unseen Conspiracies and Overt Schemes. (Bonus chapter for 200 monthly votes.)

The next morning.

At Jiraiya's camp, the ninjas had already assembled.

As the commander, Jiraiya naturally stood on the makeshift wooden command platform.

Standing in the first row below the stage were Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi.

Behind the three stood 27 Jonin from Konoha, followed by about 150 Special Jonin, and finally about 800 Chunin and Genin from Konoha.

The war with the Land of Lightning lasted for more than a month, and Jiraiya's unit lost about 500 ninjas.

Among them, there are 4 Jonin, 36 Special Jonin, and the rest are Chunin and Genin.

Although the number of ninjas killed in action doesn't seem like a lot based on the data, it also depends on the total number of ninjas in Jiraiya's unit.

When heading to the front lines, because the Land of Lightning was second only to the Land of Fire in strength, Hiruzen Sarutobi slightly favored Jiraiya's troops in terms of troop allocation.

Even with such a significant shift, Jiraiya's initial ninja force numbered only around 1500.

In other words, in just over a month, Jiraiya's unit suffered a total loss of one-third of its personnel.

Judging from the casualty rate, the intensity of this war was already very high.

Moreover, this was under the premise that Hatake Akira and his two companions were holding back the Kumogakure AB team, as well as a small number of Jonin. Without Hatake Akira and his companions, the intensity of this war would undoubtedly have increased to another level.

By observing just one aspect, one can understand the whole picture. The casualties of the ninja forces in the other three directions of the Land of Fire were not much lower, and were even higher than the casualty rate of Jiraiya's troops.

Jiraiya glanced at the ninja squad, which was noticeably smaller than when he arrived, and his expression became very serious.

He wasn't unaware of the principle that "a desperate army is bound to win," but he also had reasons to do so.

If they don't seize this opportunity of the Cloud Village's frontline ninja forces being missing a top-tier fighter to launch a counterattack, then once the Cloud Village reacts, what they will face with Jiraiya's forces will be an unprecedented and devastating storm!

Only by seizing this opportunity and having Hatake Akira and his two companions inflict maximum casualties on the Hidden Cloud Village's ninja forces can the Hidden Cloud Village's subsequent retaliatory army reduce its numerical advantage, making it relatively easier for the Leaf Village ninjas to deal with the situation.

Moreover, Jiraiya's forces were not fighting alone. After the Land of Wind suffered setbacks and retreated, Orochimaru's forces began to reduce the number of ninjas in their defensive units in order to send reinforcements to other ninja units on the border of the Land of Fire.

The ninja force led by Orochimaru is on its way to provide support, and Jiraiya estimates that the reinforcements will arrive in two days.

When the reinforcements arrive, it should coincide with the timeline of the army from Kumogakure coming to carry out the retaliatory operation.

In this way, the northeastern border of the Land of Fire should have a 6% chance of withstanding the war pressure from the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Minato Namikaze!" Jiraiya shouted.

"My subordinate is here!"

"You will lead 9 Jonin, 12 Special Jonin, 50 Chunin, and 150 Genin, according to the mission I previously assigned you, to attack the left flank of the Cloud Village's ninja front-line forces!"

"Yes, sir! Your order is correct!"
