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

With a three-pronged approach, victory is assured!

Not only will they win, but they can also crush the Land of Lightning in one fell swoop!

"You're the commander-in-chief, I have to listen to you. Hurry up and give the orders!" Jiraiya stood up. "I can't wait..."

"It's been almost half a year since the war started. It's time to settle one battlefield and let the village catch its breath."

Jiraiya glanced in the direction of Konoha. After such a long war, he was also feeling tired.

"Don't worry, teacher, we'll definitely succeed this time!"

Minato Namikaze, brimming with confidence, shouted towards the outside of the tent, "Captains of all teams, come in for a meeting!"

……

The Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village, inside the Raikage Building.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Kakashi, who was sorting through his spoils, looked up and asked, "Has Minato-sensei given us new orders?"

"There are indeed new orders..."

Akira Hatake crumpled the note in his hand into dust. "But I didn't expect that after Minato-sensei became the commander-in-chief, he would become so cunning."

"...Scheming?" Kakashi tilted his head. "Minato-sensei has always been very cheerful."

“That’s towards his own people.” Akira tapped Kakashi’s forehead. “But when it comes to enemies, Minato-sensei is anything but gentle, and now he’s become even more cunning.”

Without further ado, Akira Hatake told Kakashi the orders that Minato Namikaze had given him.

"This...is indeed...very different." Kakashi didn't know what to say, and his words came out in a disjointed and fragmented manner.

"Then let's follow the teacher's orders and take five days to launch a surprise attack on Kumogakure, giving the Kumogakure frontline troops more time to react."

He kicked a pile of intelligence scrolls on the ground. "Let's leave these here for now. We'll come back for them on the last day."

"But what if they destroy it?" Kakashi asked with some concern.

"Destroy them if you want. To be honest, I don't really care about these intelligence scrolls." Hatake Akira didn't seem to care much. "What I really care about is the Book of Seals of Kumogakure."

"The Scroll of Seals?!" Kakashi's eyes lit up. "This is the foundation of Kumogakure! We have to get our hands on it!"

"I think you've got your eye on the secret techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village, haven't you?"

Akira Hatake can tell what Kakashi is thinking the moment he opens his mouth.

If there's anything about Kumogakure that Kakashi would covet so much right now, it's basically only Lightning Release Chakra Mode; there's practically no other possibility.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode, although it is only one mode of Lightning Release ninjutsu, is surprisingly comprehensive in its scope.

First, it uses Lightning Release chakra to strengthen its own body, similar to a weakened version of the Eight Gates.

Although it is far less powerful than the Eight Gates Formation, the key is that it has no side effects and is a permanent enhancement.

Secondly, there is the Lightning Release Armor under the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which has very strong defensive capabilities and is one of the very rare all-around defensive ninjutsu in the ninja world.

Moreover, the Lightning Release Armor's defensive capabilities are among the best in the ninja world.

Although its defensive capabilities are not as good as the Uchiha clan's complete Susanoo, as long as it is not a Susanoo of the third stage or higher, the Lightning Armor can still hold its own against it.

Finally, there's the function of activating the body.

The strength of the Third Raikage and his son A is undeniable, and they can even rival the Flying Thunder God Technique in speed.

Moreover, the activated body can greatly improve a person's nerve reaction speed, which is why Minato Namikaze suffered a loss against the AB combination.

If Kakashi can learn and master the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his strength will increase once again.

Not only Kakashi, but also Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze can further improve their strength.

Most importantly, after seizing the Book of Seals from Kumogakure, such a great achievement should at least allow Akira Hatake or Kakashi to choose two or three ninjutsu from the Book of Seals, and they should be the kind without any restrictions!

This kind of temptation is irresistible to almost everyone, let alone Kakashi.

"Brother, should we give chase?" Kakashi licked his lips. "I think the Book of Seals of Kumogakure is on those old guys who escaped first."

"No rush. As long as the Hidden Cloud Village exists, the Book of Seals of the Hidden Cloud Village will not disappear."

Akira Hatake did not agree. "Let's wait for Uncle Hizashi and the others to arrive before we follow the teacher's orders to retreat."

"Ok!"

Kakashi nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and waited with Akira Hatake for Hizashi Hyuga and the others to arrive.

Chapter 179 The Six Paths Divine Artifacts, the Hidden Treasure of Yunyin Village. (Seeking monthly votes!)

"coming?"

Akira Hatake and Kakashi didn't have to wait long before all the members of the surprise attack squad arrived.

"Uncle Hiashi, what's wrong?"

With sharp eyes, Akira Hatake scanned the area and noticed that Hizashi Hyuga was covering his left arm with one hand, with blood occasionally seeping from his fingertips.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally fell into someone's trap."

Hyuga Hizashi was somewhat embarrassed, as he seemed to be the only ninja with Jonin-level strength among the raiding squad who had been injured.

Although it was only a minor injury, Hyuga Hizashi, who prided himself on his clan being the number one eye technique clan in the ninja world, still felt somewhat embarrassed.

The main problem is that Hyuga Hizashi was treated differently this time. Whenever they encountered a Cloud Ninja, their first thought was to eliminate Hyuga Hizashi.

This is not hard to understand. Sensing, medical, and support-type ninjas are always the enemy ninjas' priority targets.

"You should still get it treated."

Akira Hatake turned his gaze to the medical ninja in the assault squadron. The latter instantly understood and stepped forward to stand in front of Hyuga Hizashi, the unique green light of the Palm Healing Technique shining from his palm.

Hyuga Hizashi did indeed suffer a minor injury; the wound on his arm scabbed over and healed in no time.

Seeing that Hyuga Hizashi's injuries had been almost healed, Hatake Akira repeated Namikaze Minato's orders.

"Minato-sensei has been appointed by the Third Hokage today to become the commander of the northeastern defense forces of the Land of Fire."

"And just now, Minato-sensei has decided to lead a large force to attack the stagnant front-line ninja troops of Kumogakure."

"According to Minato-sensei's latest orders, we will launch surprise attacks on Kumogakure for five consecutive days, aiming to create greater anxiety and casualties within the village."

Akira Hatake quickly said a few words, "Does everyone understand now?"

"understand!"

"Then everyone, come over here." Akira Hatake nodded and waved to them.

The members of the surprise attack squadron were very obedient. As soon as Hatake Akira finished speaking, they all stepped forward in perfect unison and formed a circle around Hatake Akira and Kakashi.

After everyone was in position, Akira Hatake threw out eight Flying Thunder God kunai, covering the eight directions around them.

The Flying Thunder God mark covering the Flying Thunder God kunai spread downwards, quickly winding its way along the earth, until a huge Flying Thunder God mark was trampled underfoot by the crowd.

Once the marks were completely connected, Akira Hatake activated the Flying Thunder God Barrier. With a blurry image, the entire raiding squad disappeared from the Raikage Building.

When the scene flashed again, the members of the raiding squad had arrived at a mountain stream, the place where they had been lying in ambush.

"Let's all rest for a bit, and continue tomorrow. Let's try to put even more pressure on Kumogakure!"

"Yes!"

After the call to action, the Konoha ninjas of the surprise attack squad each performed their duties: some set up defensive traps, while others kept watch.

As the current captain, Akira Hatake naturally doesn't need to get involved; he just needs to conserve his energy.

Kakashi did the same. He carried his ninja sword, Snowfall, found a big tree, and sat down cross-legged without saying a word.

Akira Hatake naturally followed, silently squeezing in next to Kakashi.

Kakashi didn't say anything either. He moved closer to Akira Hatake and then closed his eyes.

Seeing Kakashi like this, Akira Hatake naturally didn't try to make conversation, and then closed his eyes to rest as well.

Although Akira Hatake was only in a support role during the raid on Kumogakure, to be honest, he was also severely mentally exhausted from leading the team on the long march.

After all, once he became the captain of the raid squadron, Akira Hatake was responsible for the lives of the squadron members, and he had too many things to worry about.

Since the members of the raid squadron were each doing their own job, Akira Hatake didn't stand on ceremony and knew he needed to rest when it was time to rest.

However, this made things difficult for the Konoha ninjas in the surprise attack squadron.

Similarly, after Akira Hatake and the other Konoha ninjas withdrew, the Hidden Cloud Village was thrown into chaos.

……

"I disagree with the evacuation!"

The Third Elder glared at the First Elder, his beard bristling. He still remembered how the First Elder had snatched the Book of Seals from him.

"We must evacuate!" The Grand Elder of Kumogakure retorted, "If the Konoha Twins can break through our defenses once, they can break through a second time!"

"If we don't evacuate and quickly transfer all the important documents, what will we do if the Konoha twins come to attack again?"

The elder's words made a lot of sense, and that was not the only thing he was worried about.

Although Akira Hatake and Kakashi's retreat was sudden, the Grand Elder was able to guess their purpose quite accurately because of it.

Only by evacuating everyone and turning Kumogakure into an empty shell can Konoha's conspiracy be thwarted.

At worst, we can hide in the mountains and streams for a while and suffer a little. We can't let these things affect the morale of the troops at the front line of Yunyin Village.

"Do you really think that withdrawing from the village is just a matter of a word from you?"

The second elder looked very negative and spoke weakly, "There are too many residents in the village. Taking them away would make us too conspicuous, and we can't just abandon them."

The Second Elder's words are even less problematic; the purpose of ninjas is nothing more than three things.

One purpose is to carry out various tasks; another is to protect various people; and the third is to realize one's own value.

The villagers of Kumogakure are someone the Cloud Ninja cannot abandon under any circumstances.

"What...what should I do?"

The elder looked distressed. Even though he had guessed the reason behind Hatake Akira and the others' sudden retreat, he was now faced with a choice and seemed helpless.

"We have no choice but to recall our frontline troops..."

"But... once the order is issued... the morale of the troops at the front will surely be thrown into chaos!"
