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

"Minato-sensei and the others are moving way too fast! At least leave me a sip of soup..."

After muttering a few words, Akira Hatake glanced at the unconscious Killer Bee on his shoulder, and after thinking for a moment, he still threw him to the ground.

The massive Killer Bee kicked up a cloud of dust as soon as it landed.

However, Killer Bee has not shown any signs of regaining consciousness so far.

Crouching down, Akira Hatake examined Killer Bee's condition. "The Four Symbols Seal has resealed the Eight-Tails into Killer Bee's body, and Killer Bee's injuries have also recovered to about 70-80% thanks to the Eight-Tails."

"He won't die, but perhaps due to severe psychological trauma, Kirabi is unable to wake up from his coma for a long time."

"But this is fine too, it saves me a lot of trouble. I'll just let you go here!"

Akira Hatake conjured a Rasengan and slammed it down on the ground beneath his feet, instantly creating a large crater.

With a clap of his hands, Akira Hatake kicked Killer Bee into the pit, then quickly filled the pit with soil, burying Killer Bee completely except for his head sticking out.

"Let's bury him here. A ninja from the Cloud Village should pass by and rescue Killer Bee. Then I can explain to Jiraiya when I get back."

Akira Hatake's thinking was quite good; his decision to release Killer Bee on his own was somewhat difficult to explain.

After all, they had already captured Killer Bee, and then released him again. This whole thing seemed a bit strange and made people wonder.

After doing all this, Akira Hatake suddenly vanished from his spot in a flash.

Shortly after Akira Hatake left, several fleeing Cloud Ninja saw Killer Bee buried in the ground.

……

Flying Thunder God Kunai: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

The closer they got to the direction of the Cloud Ninja's main force, the more Cloud Ninjas fled, but most of these Cloud Ninjas were weaker ninjas.

If they were strong enough, they would have been at the very front long ago; how could they still be lagging far behind?

Upon encountering a large number of remaining Cloud Ninja troops, Akira Hatake naturally showed no mercy. He used the Flying Thunder God Kunai: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to trap them within the range of the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then began a massacre.

"It's my brother!"

Kakashi, who was pursuing the remaining Cloud Ninja forces, naturally noticed the striking silver flash ahead at first glance, and his shout was quite excited.

"It's Ming, that's for sure. It seems he has already dealt with Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Minato Namikaze had no reason not to notice, so he smiled and nodded, letting Kakashi and the others chase after them.

"elder brother!"

"Kakashi."

After clearing out some weaker Cloud Ninja, Akira Hatake's speed was naturally not slow. By the time Kakashi caught up, Akira Hatake had already finished his work.

"Are you alright?" X2

The two brothers asked the question at the same time, and after exchanging a smile, they both shook their heads.

"You go first." X2

It was another perfect synchronization, which left Akira Hatake somewhat helpless, while Kakashi's boyish face, hidden under his mask, also flushed slightly.

"I'll go first." X2

"..."

The two brothers looked at each other in silence, an awkward atmosphere lingering around them, the air itself seemed to freeze.

"Are you trying to play dumb with me?!"

Akira Hatake flicked Kakashi's forehead. "Leave the rest to others. Let's go meet up with Minato-sensei first."

"it is good!"

Kakashi rubbed his forehead, his eyes narrowed into slits, and nodded as he followed behind Akira Hatake towards Minato Namikaze.

Chapter 152 An even greater challenge is on the horizon.

After Akira Hatake, Kakashi, and Minato Namikaze reunited, things became much simpler.

The three of them worked together to clear out most of the Cloud Ninja who were fleeing to the right flank, and the remaining mess was naturally left to the Leaf Village ninja to handle.

The tension from before had dissipated, and the three stood side by side, heading unhurriedly toward the direction Jiraiya was chasing.

It is foreseeable that once the four of them reunite, the Cloud Ninja forces retreating towards the Land of Lightning will have to leave behind a large number of their comrades' corpses along the way before they can safely enter the Land of Lightning.

It can be said that without the top combat power to restrain them, the Cloud Ninja forces collapsed much faster than expected, and the casualties they suffered in this battle were exceptionally heavy.

Of the Cloud Ninja force that originally numbered over 5000, it would be good if 500 of them returned alive.

While it might be an exaggeration to say that the Land of Lightning suffered a major blow, losing more than 4000 fresh troops would give Jiraiya's forces a better chance of survival when facing the 1.5-strong army of ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village in the future.

But it was only a slight chance of survival. With fewer than 1500 men facing an enemy ten times their size, this asymmetrical war visibly dampened Jiraiya's spirits despite his great victory.

As darkness fell, the Konoha ninjas who had been cleaning up the battlefield gradually returned.

Inside Jiraiya's command tent, four people with deeply entangled relationships sat cross-legged around a small square table.

Wow...

Kakashi, the lowest in rank, held the teapot, circled it once, and finally filled the teacup in front of him.

"Kakashi's tea-making skills are becoming more and more refined..."

Jiraiya took a sip of hot tea, praised Kakashi, placed the teacup on the small square table, and then sighed, "We can only enjoy two more days of leisure at most."

"What's wrong, teacher?"

Minato Namikaze had intended to have a sip of hot tea, but after hearing what Jiraiya said, he simply put down his teacup and leaned forward to ask.

"According to the latest intelligence from spies, the Hidden Cloud Village has mobilized its entire force this time, with a total strength of over 1.5."

"What?! 1.5!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes widened suddenly, his voice trembling slightly, "They've come out in full force, haven't they? Are they prepared for a fight to the death?"

"What do you think?" Jiraiya glanced at Akira Hatake indifferently. "Your good disciple did this, so you, as his teacher, should clean up his mess."

"Hey, Master." Hatake Akira put down his teacup, his expression embarrassed, but his voice remained as forceful as ever. "If we hadn't killed A back then, we wouldn't have been able to achieve this great victory today, would we?!"

"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that?"

Jiraiya wasn't particularly angry, but he still gave Akira Hatake a deep look. "There are many things that can be done in war, no matter what, but the key is that A's identity is just too sensitive."

“I know that, but at the time…”

"Alright, I'm not accusing you. I'm just saying that A's death was the primary factor that led to the Hidden Cloud Village launching a reckless attack." Jiraiya interrupted Akira. "Since you're the one who caused this mess, it's only fair that I give you a task, isn't it?"

"Master... never mind, whatever the mission, I'll accept it."

Akira Hatake was deflated. He knew that Jiraiya had ill intentions when he brought up the matter of him killing A, and he was right after all.

But even if he guessed correctly, it wouldn't help, and Akira Hatake could only follow Jiraiya's arrangements.

……

Headquarters of Danzo Shimura.

"This is the order you gave to transfer those two people. Now you can finally tell me the information that affects the safety of Konoha, right?"

Danzo Shimura held a transfer order in his hand, shook it, and then presented it to White Zetsu.

"Danzo, I know this information better than you do." White Zetsu smiled indifferently, not even glancing at the contents of the transfer order. "I even know where Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara are right now, so don't even think about getting any information out of them."

White Zetsu's words instantly darkened Shimura Danzo's expression, not because White Zetsu had contradicted him, but because White Zetsu's incredible intelligence-gathering ability terrified Shimura Danzo.

The importance of intelligence needs no further explanation. Shimura Danzo understood better than anyone that whoever obtains the enemy's intelligence first will gain the upper hand.

White Zetsu is neither friend nor foe, and Danzo Shimura simply cannot understand what White Zetsu is up to, which makes Danzo Shimura feel uncertain.

Danzo Shimura always adhered to the principle that power that could not be controlled should be destroyed if it could not be obtained!

Danzo Shimura tried several times but could not kill a White Zetsu. Each time he killed one, another White Zetsu would reappear in front of him the next day.

This made Danzo Shimura wonder whether White Zetsu was a single person or an organization.

If it's just one person, the danger level of White Zetsu is greatly reduced, but if it's an organization...

Therefore, Danzo Shimura had no choice but to find another way to break the deadlock.

The key to breaking this deadlock naturally fell on Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, whom the White Zetsu had specifically requested.

While waiting for Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara to arrive, Danzo Shimura also used his intelligence resources to quickly investigate Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara thoroughly.

Obito Uchiha was an exception in the Uchiha clan.

He had decent talent and wasn't stupid, but many of the characteristics of the Uchiha clan were hardly reflected in Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha was easygoing and didn't always have the cold and aloof demeanor typical of the Uchiha people. Moreover, Obito was very kind-hearted; he would always help the elderly, the sick, the disabled, and even cats and dogs who encountered problems in his presence without expecting anything in return.

This greatly surprised Shimura Danzo, who had obtained the information, and he felt that Uchiha Obito was not at all the Uchiha he remembered.

In contrast, Nohara Rin was as ordinary as could be; she was the kind of person who would blend into a crowd and go unnoticed unless you looked closely.

If there is any difference, it is that Nohara Rin was one of the few people who had a close relationship with Uchiha Obito, and the two even showed signs of developing into lovers.

No, strictly speaking, the two are only one step away from officially becoming a couple.

This left Danzo Shimura completely baffled. How could two such unremarkable people be equated with a crucial piece of information in the eyes of White Zetsu?

Something unusual must be going on. Given Shimura Danzo's personality, it would be a shame not to have some backup plan for the two of them.

"Shimura Danzo, I'm warning you to tone it down. If you make another move, our cooperation will end here!"

White Zetsu saw the murderous intent flash in Shimura Danzo's eyes and immediately warned him.

You should know that during the days he spent with Shimura Danzo, many of White Zetsu's clones died, which pained him greatly.

"No, I was just curious."

Shimura Danzo didn't say much, but instead steered the conversation back to intelligence, "Since you don't trust me, then I won't trust you either. Why don't you reveal some more information so that we can cooperate more smoothly?"

"Tch, I knew it."

White Zetsu glanced disdainfully at Shimura Danzo, then revealed some information: "Iwagakure has dispatched a team of elite ninjas to launch a surprise attack on Konoha."

"Time? Method? Number of people?"

"Hey, I can only tell you this after I've seen the person!" Bai Jue's body merged into the earth and gradually disappeared. "I'll come to hand over the reins to you tomorrow, so you'd better not try anything funny..."
