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

When Akira Hatake teleported the group of Jonin from Iwagakure out of that small space, everything was already set in stone.

puff.

With a swift stroke, Akira Hatake killed the last Jonin from Iwagakure.

Thus, the Earthquake Core Squad, which Tsuchikage Onoki had sent to ambush Konoha, was defeated by Akira Hatake, who single-handedly eliminated everyone except for Kyoto, after only about a minute of attack!

Looking around at the chaotic battlefield, Akira Hatake pursed his lips, then communicated with the Flying Thunder God Seal located in Konoha Village, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

From the moment Akira Hatake teleported the group of Iwa ninja to outside Konoha Village, to the moment he returned using the Flying Thunder God Technique, the interval was only about 1 minute and 10 seconds.

Sa!

As Hatake Akira used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, Huang Tu, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and some Konoha ninjas, suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

Purple lightning enveloped Akira Hatake's palm, penetrating from Huang Tu's back and deep into his chest, while his palm, glowing with purple electricity, emerged from his chest.

Earth Release: Hardening Technique is not very effective against Akira Hatake's most advanced Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Furthermore, unlike the ninjas of Kumogakure, the ninjas of Iwagakure cannot use Lightning Release to activate their bodies, allowing their reaction speed and physical response speed to reach an extremely terrifying level.

This results in the Iwagakure ninjas being in a rather passive position when facing ninjas like Akira Hatake, who excels in speed.

However, due to the extremely strong defensive and positional warfare capabilities of Earth Release ninjutsu, when a large number of Iwa ninjas gather together, they become a very tough nut to crack.

But now...

Huang Tu encountered the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was extremely fast and could counter him, and also encountered the Lightning Release, the nemesis of Earth Release. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would be ambushed and killed by Akira Hatake in one blow.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

With his heart pierced, Huang Tu still wanted to fight back before he died, but Hatake Akira wouldn't give him that chance.

Akira Hatake will not give up on finishing off his enemy, nor will he say another word to him!

Purple lightning also crackled in his left palm. With a sudden, sweeping hand strike, Huang Tu's head, which had died with its eyes wide open, flew into the air.

He yanked his right hand out of the headless corpse in the yellow earth, dispelling the purple lightning on his palm while wiping the bloodstains from his hands on the yellow earth's clothes.

He suddenly reached out with his right hand, his five fingers, now only stained with a few drops of blood, grabbed the falling head of the yellow earth, and then deftly took out a sealing scroll.

But just as he was halfway through his smooth and effortless movements, Akira Hatake suddenly realized something.

We are now in Konoha Village, not on the battlefield, so Huang Tu's head can be handed over to the Konoha interrogation team without being sealed.

“Um… Third Hokage, this is Huang Tu’s head. If we hand it over to the interrogation squad now… well, we should be able to get a lot of information.”

"You've got a good heart, Ming!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a bad mood, but he still managed to force a rather awkward smile at Akira Hatake, who had made a great contribution. "We can talk about your achievements and the blood debt to Iwagakure later. Our top priority right now is to rescue the villagers of Konoha!"

"I know, Third Hokage."

Akira Hatake nodded, offering no further comment.

Just as the group of Konoha ninjas who remained behind were preparing to disperse, Akira Hatake suddenly called them back.

"The situation is urgent. If you rush to the rescue like this, it will undoubtedly slow down the rescue process."

Akira Hatake stepped forward and took out seven or eight Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool bag, handing them to the Konoha ninjas who remained behind.

"Please throw your Flying Thunder God kunai into various corners of Konoha Village. That's all!"

"This……"

The Konoha ninjas who remained behind exchanged glances, then turned their palms over and examined the Flying Thunder God kunai in their hands.

Overall, these Konoha ninjas didn't really trust Akira Hatake and didn't think that a few Flying Thunder God kunai could be of much use.

"Listen carefully, he has his own reasons for doing this."

The next moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke, immediately affirming the correctness of Akira Hatake's actions.

Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's status and prestige in Konoha, he had barely uttered a single sentence when the Konoha ninjas who had been questioning him instantly turned around and ran off in different directions into the village.

Soon, the group of Konoha ninjas who remained behind arrived at the designated location and immediately threw out Flying Thunder God kunai.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of the Flying Thunder God Kunai flying echoed throughout Konoha Village.

In an instant, Akira Hatake used the Flying Thunder God Technique to flash around the Flying Thunder God kunai in various parts of Konoha Village.

Flying Thunder God Kunai: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

A dense array of Flying Thunder God kunai covered every corner of Konoha, thanks to the help of the remaining Konoha ninja.

Once everything was ready, it became Akira Hatake's one-sided performance time.

Chapter 167 Heroes of Konoha.

As the silver flashes continued to flicker and weave through Konoha Village, the Root ninjas found themselves in a dilemma.

They had already received orders from Danzo Shimura and rushed to the outskirts of Konoha Village before the Iwagakure Earthquake Core Team.

But if you want to be a hero and boost Danzo Shimura's reputation, you have to save the villagers of Konoha from their suffering.

After all, it's obvious which outcome yields the greatest benefit: resolving the danger before it occurs versus resolving the danger and rescuing the villagers of Konoha after it has happened.

The former nipped the danger in the bud, and the only recognition he might receive was from the Konoha leadership. If public opinion were stirred up even slightly, his achievement would be greatly diminished.

The latter may be extremely inhumane and highly theatrical, but its effectiveness is undeniable!

This will make the villagers of Konoha truly remember the evil of Iwagakure and the good of Shimura Danzo and the Root ninjas!

But everything that should have unfolded according to the script was disrupted by Akira Hatake's sudden interference, leaving the Root ninjas who had rushed back to Konoha ahead of time at a loss.

At this juncture, stepping forward and joining the ninja team to rescue the residents of Konoha would certainly allow them to get some share of the spoils.

But how would the Root ninjas or Shimura Danzo explain this afterwards?

As originally envisioned, the explanatory terms devised by Danzo Shimura seemed perfect in certain situations.

In this urgent situation, after intercepting intelligence that Iwagakure had dispatched an earthquake nuclear team to attack Konoha, Danzo Shimura immediately sent Root ninjas back to Konoha to stop them.

However, this explanation also has flaws, and quite significant ones at that.

For example, why didn't you notify the village immediately after intercepting the intelligence?

Why didn't they notify the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately?

The speed at which intelligence is transmitted is definitely much faster than the speed at which the Iwagakure Earthquake Nuclear Team sneaks to Konoha.

But if we change our way of thinking, when disaster strikes, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who should have stepped forward the most, is nowhere to be found, while the Root ninjas, who should never have appeared, become the saviors.

With the added bonus of the savior title, coupled with the villagers' disappointment in Hiruzen Sarutobi's inaction, and finally with some public opinion manipulation, this fatal flaw will be perfectly concealed.

As a result of this incident, Danzo Shimura and the Root ninjas he led will completely overshadow the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in terms of prestige.

But Akira Hatake appeared.

Within a minute of activating Earth Release: Earthquake Core Ninjutsu, they successfully prevented the Iwagakure Earthquake Core Team from continuing to use the ninjutsu.

This saved the precarious and crumbling Konoha Village from complete collapse.

In the next minute, Akira Hatake swiftly dispatched 23 Jonin members of the Iwagakure Earthquake Core Squad, then launched a sneak attack, killing the renowned Iwagakure member, Koto.

At this point in the attack, Akira Hatake's response speed was outrageously fast.

Next, with Hiruzen Sarutobi's approval and the help of the remaining Konoha ninja, Akira Hatake's Flying Thunder God Kunai were spread to every corner of Konoha Village.

The speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique was used for rescue; in a flash, multiple Konoha villagers could be saved. It is believed that it will not be long before Akira Hatake sets a record for the fastest rescue speed.

Before the Root ninjas could even make a move, Akira Hatake completed the three actions of stopping, annihilating, and rescuing at the most opportune time and with the fastest speed.

Even though it was just a coincidence that Akira Hatake encountered it, it was precisely because of this that Akira Hatake became even more perfect.

"How to do?"

"What else can we do? Retreat!"

"But what if we return empty-handed..."

"We can't worry about that now. Do you want things to get worse and the punishment to turn into death?!"

The Root ninja in charge was extremely unwilling, but his decision to retreat was undoubtedly the best solution under the current circumstances.

Joining at this point would be like admitting guilt without being asked.

The Root ninjas were originally a group of emotionless tools trained by Danzo Shimura for his own purposes.

Konoha Village, the villagers of Konoha, and even the Root ninjas who worked with him—in their eyes, they could be abandoned at any time.

To fulfill all of Danzo Shimura's orders and missions is the lifelong creed of a Root ninja.

But just as the Root ninjas were preparing to retreat, Hiashi Hyuga, who was using his Byakugan to search for the trapped Konoha villagers, still managed to discover some clues.

"A group of ninjas is rapidly moving away from the village; it's unclear whether they are friend or foe!"

Without hesitation, Hyuga Hiashi immediately reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and at the same time led the Hyuga clan ninjas who remained in Konoha, rushing towards the direction in which the Root ninjas had retreated.

"The village has been infiltrated to this extent?!"

Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression grew even more grim. Without informing Akira Hatake, he led the Shadow Guard, guided by Hiashi Hyuga, to give chase.

The reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to pursue so recklessly was naturally due to Akira Hatake.

Having witnessed Akira Hatake's operation of transferring the Tailed Beast Ball to a location 400 kilometers away, and having personally experienced Akira Hatake's extremely fast crisis management speed and overwhelming enemy killing speed, Hiruzen Sarutobi now trusted Akira Hatake completely.

"I entrust the safety of Konoha to Akira Hatake. Hiruzen Sarutobi can rest assured!"

Akira Hatake, who was busy rescuing villagers, was unaware of this; all he cared about was saving lives.

The silver flashes continued unabated as large numbers of Konoha villagers were successively transferred by Akira Hatake to the relatively spacious Konoha training ground.

After a while, the Konoha villagers who were safely rescued also recovered from the negative physical effects of space travel.

"Is that Lord Minato?!"

A villager shook his head, suppressing the nausea in his stomach, and asked his neighbor standing next to him.

"Are you out of your mind? It's Akira Hatake, one of the Konoha Twins!"

"Akira Hatake?!"

"Right! Didn't you see that the flash was silver?" the neighbor said, mocking his ignorance. "Minato-sama's flash was yellow, while Hatake Akira's was silver!"
