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

Strictly speaking, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Minato Namikaze could only be considered commoner ninjas, but the interests they represented belonged to the ninja clans.

In other words, the commoner ninjas who stepped forward were ultimately just representatives of the Konoha ninja clan.

How do you say this?

After thinking it over, Akira Hatake decided to tell the truth!

Although Akira Hatake doesn't intend to overturn the table yet, he is now capable of sitting at the table and playing chess with the higher-ups of Konoha.

"Third Hokage, I believe that both the ninja clans and ordinary ninjas in the village are the cornerstone of Konoha's strength, and we should treat them all equally."

How can we treat everyone equally?

"I currently have a few ideas that are not yet fully formed."

"Tell me about it." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and made a gesture of listening attentively.

"First, we should follow the example of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and encourage intermarriage between clan ninjas and commoner ninjas."

"Second, we should increase investment in the education of civilian ninjas. The knowledge taught in ninja schools should be further deepened."

"Third, the ninja instructors assigned after graduation are treated equally, and the success rate of the genin in the class they lead will determine how easy it is for the instructor to be promoted in the future."

"That's all for now." Akira Hatake glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked displeased, and stood silently to the side without saying another word.

Akira Hatake's words were undoubtedly digging up the roots of the Konoha ninja clan!

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew all too well the lesson of the Senju clan's fate, and his Sarutobi clan was the ones who thrived when the Senju clan disappeared.

Although other ninja clans in Konoha also participated, they were still somewhat inferior to the Sarutobi clan.

“Great idea, I’ve taken note of what you said.”

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, he had already formed a definition for Akira Hatake in his heart.

Trustworthy, but not someone to be entrusted with important tasks.

In other words, after this conversation, Akira Hatake had personally nipped his own political future in the bud, at least in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

But Akira Hatake didn't think there was a problem at all.

After the battle between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, Minato Namikaze's personal reputation had reached its peak. If he had a few more moments of glory, it would be difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi not to step down.

With Minato Namikaze protecting him, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't stir up any trouble.

Furthermore, Akira Hatake also figured out why Hiruzen Sarutobi had spoken to him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to confirm Akira Hatake's stance again, since Akira's current achievements and reputation had made him the number one person of the new generation.

Moreover, his younger brother Kakashi is the same. If nothing unexpected happens, the Hatake family will soar to great heights in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine Akira Hatake's political stance in advance.

Unfortunately, this test left Hiruzen Sarutobi feeling both gratified and somewhat regretful.

"Alright, Akira." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand. "Go back to the front lines."

"Ah."

Akira Hatake nodded, and just as he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, a sudden change occurred!

Chapter 165: Switching Between Offense and Defense!

The earth is shaking!

It felt similar to an earthquake. Although I've never experienced one, the feeling of being unable to stand still was still quite frightening.

what happened? !

Holding onto the desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up.

Before he could even grab the Hokage hat from his desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi smashed through the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him and instantly left the swaying Hokage Building.

Akira Hatake frowned and followed closely behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving the Hokage Building in the same way.

On the main street of Konoha Village, the ground cracked open like a spider web, with crisscrossing ravines rapidly expanding.

As the earth shook, some unstable buildings collapsed, and the villagers of Konoha who lived there fled in terror.

"mom!"

A childish voice rang out, and Akira Hatake's gaze followed the sound to the source of the sound. A little girl stood helplessly on the windowsill, crying incessantly.

The house was shaking so badly it was on the verge of collapse. A woman, who had somehow run back, rushed into the room, crying out in anguish.

However, the tremors had already destroyed most of the house, and the door was pinned down by the broken beam, making it impossible to rush in anytime soon.

Boom!

A sound of a building collapsing rang out, raising a cloud of dust, and at the same time, a silver flash suddenly appeared.

Then, the crying little girl was placed in her mother's arms by Akira Hatake.

Even after rescuing the little girl, Akira Hatake's tightly furrowed brows remained unchanged.

Because Konoha Village is very large, this earthquake-like tremor happened suddenly and was extremely intense, leaving many Konoha villagers trapped in buildings.

Forgetting to glance at Konoha Hospital, Akira Hatake abandoned his attempt to rescue Sakumo Hatake, who was still recuperating at the hospital.

Long before the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, Hatake Sakumo's body had already recovered to about 70-80%, and all that remained was to wait for the power of the bloodstains to be eliminated to be integrated into himself.

Moreover, with Chunin Ena by his side, this sudden change will not have much impact on Hatake Sakumo.

Having made up his mind, Akira Hatake leaped into the air, threw out a specially made Flying Thunder God kunai, and then rapidly formed hand seals.

Flying Thunder God Kunai: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

A dense array of Flying Thunder God kunai covered a certain area of ​​Konoha Village. Then, Akira Hatake transformed into a silver flash, continuously using Flying Thunder God kunai to shuttle through buildings that were about to collapse or had already collapsed to rescue the residents of Konoha.

Even so, Akira Hatake was outnumbered and could only rescue a small portion of the Konoha villagers.

Moreover, during the rescue, Akira Hatake astutely discovered that the earthquake only occurred within the vicinity of Konoha Village, while everything outside Konoha Village appeared calm and peaceful.

This earthquake was man-made!

Soon after, the ninjas who remained in Konoha also noticed the anomaly. While continuously rescuing the villagers of Konoha, they also dispersed to search for the source of the earthquake.

But time is precious. As time ticked by, the ravines in Konoha Village grew larger and deeper, and even Akira Hatake could feel the ground constantly collapsing.

Meanwhile, the damage to the buildings in Konoha Village is becoming increasingly severe. The Hokage Building is already tilting, and it is believed that it will soon collapse.

Hatake knew he couldn't wait any longer!

Hiruzen Sarutobi also knew this, and cold sweat poured down his forehead as he shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.

"Hyuga Hiashi! Hyuga Hiashi!"

"Quickly! Search the entire Hidden Leaf Village as fast as possible and find the culprit behind the attack!"

"Sealing Team! Quickly search all the barriers around Konoha for signs of intrusion!"

"Everyone! Everyone run to the village training ground! It's spacious and there aren't any extra buildings there!"

Although he shouted loudly, Hiruzen Sarutobi became even calmer in times of crisis, and all the orders he issued were very reasonable.

"Lord Hokage, a ninja squad of 25 has been discovered underground in the southeast of the village, their chakra surging violently!"

As Hiashi Hyuga shouted, he began to run wildly in the direction he was calling out, followed by several branch family ninjas of the Hyuga clan.

Similarly, after hearing Hiashi Hyuga report the exact location, the Konoha ninjas who were not on rescue missions also took action.

However, as they all rushed forward to try and stop the disaster, one figure was faster than all of them.

It's Akira Hatake!

Akira Hatake's method of traveling was very simple: he would keep throwing Flying Thunder God Kunai forward, and then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the side of the flying Flying Thunder God Kunai, catch it, and throw it out again.

Repeating this process, the silver flash that Hatake Akira transformed into kept flashing forward, and in just a few breaths, he arrived at the location that Hyuga Hiashi had just mentioned.

But at that very moment, the ground tectonic plate where Konoha Village was located suddenly broke off from the surrounding earth, shaking and sinking rapidly!

Akira Hatake's eyes narrowed, and he instantly realized who the culprit was!

It's Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core!

Earth Release: Earth Shaking Core is a technique where a ninja infuses chakra into the floor, which can lift a portion of the ground.

It can also control the rise or fall of land of any shape within a certain range, making it very suitable for digging trenches in war.

However, if enough people use Earth Escape: Earthquake Core at the same time, the range of ground tectonic plates that can be affected will be larger, and using it only for digging trenches would be a waste of its potential.

This ninjutsu could sink a large area of ​​land!

All the disasters that are happening in Konoha Village right now were caused by those 25 ninjas whose faction is unknown!

Gritting his teeth, Akira Hatake didn't hesitate, throwing a Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken in each hand and hurling it hard at the ground.

boom!

The earth trembled with an added shockwave from the explosion of the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken, and before the semi-circular energy of the explosion dissipated, a voice rang out behind Akira Hatake.

"5 meters deep directly below!"

Akira Hatake instantly recognized the voice as belonging to Hiashi Hyuga.

Akira Hatake had complete faith in the Byakugan's reconnaissance abilities. He once again condensed two Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken in his hands, one on each side, and then hurled them out fiercely!

boom!

The two sounds merged into one, but the moment the semi-circular energy burst out after the explosion, Akira Hatake keenly sensed something was wrong.

Earth Release: Earth Mountain Technique!

Two enormous hemispheres made of clay suddenly appeared on either side of Akira Hatake, and then abruptly closed together!

"Hmph, you guys continue, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a silver flash appeared beside him, and a spiral shuriken with a loud whooshing sound slammed into his face.

"So it's yellow soil from Iwagakure!"

The moment Earth Release: Earth Mountain Technique was activated, Akira Hatake had already guessed that the person using this Earth Release ninjutsu was Yotsuchi.

After all, no one but Akira Hatake could think of anyone else but Huang Tu who could use a B-rank Earth Release ninjutsu with such a grand display.

Earth Release: Earth Mountain Technique is one of the iconic ninjutsu of the yellow earth element.
