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

"Hatred shouldn't be vented on your own people. Why don't you cowards call for war and slaughter against Konoha?"

"Was it Minato Namikaze who caused you psychological trauma?!"

"Or is it Jiraiya?"

"Or perhaps someone like Akira Hatake or Kakashi Hatake, who are seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, younger than you?"

"If you're weak, then swallow your pride and bear it! Don't make up such flimsy excuses, you cowards!"

Tsuchishiro's rapid-fire roar, laced with sarcasm, made the group of Cloud Ninja who had been clamoring to kill Killer Bee lower their heads.

Even so, Tsuchishiro could still feel the unfriendly gazes of the Cloud Ninja around him directed at Killer Bee.

"As a courtier of the Third Raikage, I have the right to temporarily exercise his command authority after his sacrifice."

When no one spoke up, Tsuchishiro brought up his identity again, attempting to suppress the emerging internal turmoil with a flurry of punches.

"But……"

"No buts!" Tsuchishiro glared at a Cloud Ninja who still wanted to speak, and waved his hand. "All troops, assemble! I have something to announce!"

……

"Ha, this is the greatest victory Konoha has ever achieved in any war!"

Jiraiya looked at the statistical documents in his hand and laughed loudly.

While laughing, Jiraiya didn't forget to pat Minato Namikaze's shoulder hard, "Minato, you deserve all the credit!"

"Oh, right, and Akira too." Jiraiya turned his head and focused his gaze on Akira Hatake. "Your perfect teamwork with Minato taught Kumogakure a lesson, and a lesson to the entire ninja world!"

"Master, you flatter me. It's just a few tricks."

"A little trick?" Jiraiya's eyes widened, feeling an unusual tightness in his chest.

Suddenly, he reached out and slapped Hatake Akira on the head. "Are you trying to insult me?" Jiraiya laughed and scolded. "If teleporting a Tailed Beast Ball to a battlefield 400 kilometers away is a small trick, then who in the entire ninja world would dare to stand up and say they are invincible?"

Rubbing his head, Akira Hatake was about to say, "It really is!"

Madara Uchiha will be invincible from now on!

Let alone a few Tailed Beast Balls from 800 miles away (400 kilometers = 800 miles), what is the operation of dropping meteorites from space?

Although it may have been deliberately downplayed, it is undeniable that the Rinnegan: Heavenly Obstruction Star technique is truly awe-inspiring.

"It's really... nothing to brag about." Akira Hatake refused to accept Jiraiya's indirect praise, because he had seen even more outrageous things.

"Hey, you're putting on airs with me, aren't you?!" Jiraiya's smile widened, though a hint of exasperation lingered at the corners of his mouth.

"I really wasn't faking it, I was just saying..."

“Alright, Akira, admitting your achievements isn’t a sign of getting carried away,” Minato Namikaze interjected promptly. “It helps boost your confidence, and what the teacher said isn’t wrong.”

"I understand." Akira Hatake nodded, then promptly changed the subject.

"Master, may I see the statistical documents?"

Jiraiya had no reason to refuse Akira Hatake's request, so he shook the document in his hand and handed it to Akira.

Reaching out to take it, Akira Hatake immediately noticed a series of outrageous data recorded on it.

The total strength of Konoha is 4078, while the total strength of Kumogakure is 14965.

The ratio of people to people is 1:3.7

Konoha suffered 2279 casualties, while Kumogakure suffered 8432 casualties.

The casualty ratio was 1:3.7.

The number of Kumogakure ninja who died from the Tailed Beast Ball attack is roughly estimated at 6600.

In other words, Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze worked together to increase the casualty ratio by three points!

It's important to know that the number of ninja troops from Kumogakure is 3.7 times that of Konoha. The sheer absurdity of these figures is best illustrated by the numbers themselves.

"Teacher... in this battle, you were a complete butcher!"

Akira Hatake sighed and handed the document to Minato Namikaze. "Besides the title of Konoha's Yellow Flash, the title of Konoha's Butcher will probably spread throughout the entire ninja world soon."

“If you hadn’t said anything, no one would have given me this nickname.” Minato Namikaze shook his head, glanced at the document, and then handed it to Jiraiya.

After a pause, Minato Namikaze prepared to get down to business.

"Teacher, I think the Hidden Cloud Village suffered heavy losses this time, and the Third Raikage was beheaded. We should take this opportunity to press our advantage."

Frowning, Jiraiya gently tapped the table. "But if Kumogakure remains holed up and we launch a counterattack, can you replicate Ming's previous strategy?"

“Okay.” Minato Namikaze nodded.

“But that’s exactly what I’m worried about.” Jiraiya shook his head and began to explain, “After suffering a loss once, the Hidden Cloud Village will definitely not suffer the same loss again.”

"A qualified commander would break up the ninja forces into smaller units and use their remaining numerical superiority to slowly erode us through harassment with small groups."

"If we attack rashly, we are likely to fall into their trap and play right into their hands."

Jiraiya was very thorough in his considerations, but he was also too conservative.

However, Jiraiya had experienced both the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, and had served as the commander of an army in both wars, so it was normal for him to be conservative and seek stability in everything.

But Minato Namikaze was different. With a series of excellent assists from Akira Hatake, his confidence was stronger than ever before.

“Teacher, this is actually our opportunity.” Minato Namikaze immediately offered a different perspective. “The Third Raikage and his successor A both died on the battlefield, and the power transition within the Kumogakure ninja forces may not be smooth.”

"And don't forget, Kakashi has already led a team to secretly infiltrate the Land of Lightning!"

Minato Namikaze's intention was clear: to launch a frontal attack and simultaneously cut off the supply lines to Kumogakure, thus catching the village off guard as it was embroiled in a power transition crisis.

“Well said, I really should step down and pass the reins to a more capable person…” Jiraiya sighed. “Since I have already delegated power to you, you can do as you see fit.”

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Minato Namikaze's joy flashed briefly before he turned his gaze to Akira Hatake.

Update tonight.

I wasn't really in the zone when I woke up this morning to write, so I took a nap and it was past 4 pm by then...

My brain is still a complete mess even after I ate. Please be patient, the update will probably be very late.

However, I'll be home late tonight, but I still have to work 10,000 yuan a day!

Chapter 172 Kakashi is cute.

Within the Land of Lightning,

Kakashi's ninja squad is lying in wait.

Teams of ninjas consisting of fewer than 30 people are called ninja squads, teams of 30 to 90 people are called ninja platoons, and teams of 90 or more people are called ninja battalions.

The ninja squad led by Kakashi, including him, had a total of 36 members, and the members were all highly skilled.

Kakashi, needless to say, has proven his strength through a series of battles.

As the captain of this surprise attack ninja squad, apart from his age being a major drawback, Kakashi fully met the standards in terms of both strength and prestige.

In terms of strength alone, Kakashi surpasses him by quite a bit.

Below Kakashi are five Jonin of Konoha, fifteen Special Jonin, and the rest are all Chunin of Konoha with a special skill.

Furthermore, in order to ensure that Kakashi's ninja squad could successfully infiltrate the Land of Lightning, Minato Namikaze specifically assigned Hizashi Hyuga, who had just recovered and been discharged from the hospital, to Kakashi.

"Uncle Hizashi, how's it going?"

Lying down beside Hyuga Hizashi, Kakashi turned his head and asked softly, his eyes as cold and unfathomable as a stagnant pool.

"The convoy transporting war supplies to Kumogakure has not yet arrived."

Hyuga Hizashi's eyes bulged with veins, and after looking around, he answered Kakashi's question.

"Okay." Kakashi nodded. "Uncle Hizashi, I'll still need to rely on you from now on. Please be sure to notify me immediately if anything happens."

"Don't worry, Kakashi, you can always trust the Hyuga clan when it comes to reconnaissance."

Hyuga Hizashi pointed to his Byakugan, his face full of confidence.

It has to be said that the Hyuga clan is undoubtedly number one in reconnaissance; their title as the "living radar of the ninja world" is well-deserved.

To be fair, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan really wasn't used in the right place...

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is inherited from the power of Indra, but if we trace it further back, the Sharingan is also inextricably linked to the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's power was inherited from Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had given birth to two children at the time.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki is the older brother, and Hamura Otsutsuki is the younger brother.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo's eyes were initially in the Byakugan form, but after witnessing the death of his lover Haori, his extreme grief and negative emotions caused them to evolve and mutate into the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Later, during a life-or-death battle with his younger brother Hamura, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was stimulated by Hamura's near-death experience, which caused him to evolve his three-tomoe Sharingan into the Rinnegan.

(The above is an original work of anime and may differ from the manga.)

Looking at the evolution of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes, it's easy to see that the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan played a very important role in it.

In other words, the true origin of the Sharingan is the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan.

So the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is a tradition passed down from generation to generation, starting with Hamura Otsutsuki.

Logically speaking, the Byakugan, being the most fundamental eye, should be stronger than the Sharingan.

The problem is that, in terms of combat and development, the Byakugan and Sharingan are worlds apart.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan possesses various abilities, including enhancing dynamic vision, improving observation skills, copying ninjutsu and taijutsu, observing chakra, and amplifying genjutsu.

The Mangekyou Sharingan, which goes even further, is known as the eye of the soul. Whatever power one desires most in one's heart, that power will be generated accordingly.

Although their abilities may differ in strength, the Uchiha clan has another powerful weapon after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Susanoo!

But if you take another look at the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, you'll see that its effectiveness in battle is really limited.

Reconnaissance, identifying acupoints, and determining chakra levels... that's it!

Unbelievable, isn't it?

Because of these factors, the Hyuga clan's fighting style has become fixed, relying on Hyuga Gentle Fist to strike the enemy's pressure points.
