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

This is the cruel truth of the ninja world, the most straightforward manifestation of the law of the jungle.

Even though they understood this principle, the ninja alliance of Kaze and Tochi had no way to deal with it.

They simply couldn't think of a way to restrain Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze!

"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"

Onoki, the Tsuchikage in the Land of Rain, had already received the battle report. The series of numbers marked on the document seemed to be stained with blood, which shocked Onoki.

boom!

He slammed his hand on the table, his eyes bloodshot, and saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He was furious!

"Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake must pay the price!"

"Tsuchikage, are you going to personally intervene?"

Sitting next to Onoki, Kazekage Rasa appeared unusually calm. "If there isn't an effective way to deal with this, I think you'd better calm down."

"Luo Sha! How can you expect me to stay calm!"

Onoki turned around and glared fiercely at Rasa, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey!

"More than 10,000 people, a full 10,000 people!" Onoki trembled all over. "Gone, just like that! Can you believe it?"

"I really can't believe it, but that's how it is..."

Fengying Luosha shrugged. "Since the matter is already settled, what we should do now is not to assign blame, but to find a way to solve the problem."

Although Luo Sha has many flaws, his extraordinary calmness still earns him a lot of points.

However, Rasa's calmness did not affect Onoki; instead, it made Onoki even more irritable.

"A solution? What solution?" Pointing at Rasa, "Can you handle Minato Namikaze or Akira Hatake?" Then pointing to himself, "Or do you think I can handle them?!"

“I can’t handle either Minato Namikaze or Akira Hatake,” Rasa sighed. “The Flying Thunder God Technique is currently an unsolvable ninjutsu for us…”

Rasa sighed and glanced at Onoki, who was panting heavily beside him. "Although we can't deal with them right now, we can try another approach."

"In what way?"

“For example, we could have the troops bypass them, or we could have the troops break up into smaller units.” Rasa pointed to the battle map on the table. “The Land of Fire has a vast territory, but Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake are only two people!”

"You mean... a large force feigns an attack while a small force infiltrates?"

"No, no, no, doing that would be too much of a loss."

Rasa shook his head and drew a circle on the map with his finger. "The Land of Fire has a vast territory, while Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake are outnumbered and outgunned. Most importantly, the Flying Thunder God Technique has the same effect on both small and large forces!"

A glint of light flashed in Luo Sha's eyes. "The time it takes for the two of them to kill 100 people or 1000 people using the Flying Thunder God Technique is not much different."

"But if we divide the remaining 30,000 people into 300 teams of 100 each, scattering them like petals falling from the sky across the Land of Fire, then..."

"With just Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake holding off a portion of them, we'll have enough time for the rest of our forces to advance!"

"By trading numbers for space, and then using space to buy time, while Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake are exhausted from running around, our many teams scattered throughout the Land of Fire may have already broken into the heart of the Land of Fire!"

Rosa's tactical theories resonated with Onoki, who nodded in agreement, and his anger subsided considerably.

While Onoki might find Rasa's tactics somewhat cowardly, it's also possible that it's currently the only tactic that can counter Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze's unstoppable mowing-down-enemies power...

"Then do as you say."

Onoki nodded, then had another question, "Rasa, do you think if our scattered teams successfully penetrate into the heart of the Land of Fire, we still need to combine our forces?"

"Need not."

Rasa shook his head. "Wouldn't joining forces just give Akira Hatake or Minato Namikaze another chance to slaughter us?"

"Tsuchikage, you must understand that our ultimate goal is to win this war, to crush Konoha, not to target a few individuals."

"In my opinion, instead of fighting to the death with Minato Namikaze or Akira Hatake, we should just deal with the people who can directly command them!"

"For example, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, or the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!"

Rasa's goal was simple: to use the covert advance of scattered troops to infiltrate the heart of the Land of Fire and launch a surprise attack on Konoha and the Daimyo's residence.

To catch the thief, first catch the king. Since we can't deal with Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze, we'll just take care of their boss!

"This……"

Onoki hesitated for a moment, "The Earthquake Core Team I sent to raid Konoha... was completely wiped out..."

Onoki didn't want to admit his failure, but now he was in the planning stage, and many things needed to be made clear.

Luo Sha naturally understood the subtext in Onoki's words, which was simply that he wasn't very optimistic about his future plans.

"It is indeed regrettable news..."

Rasa first comforted Onoki, then got straight to the point, "Konoha is not our main objective; the Daimyo's residence is our focus."

"Tsuchikage, do you remember how the Land of Water conquered the Land of Bears?"

"Of course I remember, it was nothing more than capturing the daimyo of the Land of Bears... and then..." Onoki's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Your consciousness is..."

“That’s right!” Rasa’s lips curled up into a wild smile. “As long as the Daimyo of the Land of Fire admits defeat, everything else will be much simpler.”

"But what should we do about Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake?"

After thinking for a moment, Onoki tilted his head and asked Rasa a question, which shows just how deep Onoki's hatred for Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato really was!

"Why deal with it?"

"Hmm?!" Onoki raised an eyebrow. "Rasa, don't forget, those two slaughtered more than 1 of our people!"

"We absolutely cannot let those two get away with this hatred and this huge threat!"

“Tsuchikage, one or two people cannot control the general trend of the ninja world…” Rasa looked deeply at Onoki, “Just like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha before, those two people once made us feel suffocated.”

"But what will the final result be?" Rasa grinned. "Time is the greatest enemy of these two invincible ninjas. We don't even need to lift a finger; they'll die sooner or later!"

"As long as we reap enough benefits from this war and accumulate capital for future generations, then in the future... the ambition to divide up the Land of Fire will be fulfilled in the hands of our descendants!"

"This……"

Onoki was completely stunned; the more he listened to Rasa's words, the more uneasy he felt.

Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake have been elevated by Rasa to the level of being comparable to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Are these two younger colleagues really up to the task?

Even if he was worthy of it, Luo Sha wasn't thinking of killing them directly; instead, he planned to wear them down over time...

This was unbearable for the proud and arrogant Onoki, but he couldn't find a good way to refute it.

Helpless, Onoki could only nod with a sour face, which was a temporary agreement to Rasa's plan.

As for what constitutes "temporary," that naturally means that Onoki still has some plans for the future.

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

Two documents were placed on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.

Looking at the contents of the document, Hiruzen Sarutobi had one half of his face smiling, but the other half was crying.

The stark contrast in Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was enough to illustrate just how complex his emotions were.

To everyone's delight, Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake achieved an astonishing victory, defeating the combined ninja forces of Kaze and Tochi.

At first glance, the master and disciple seemed invincible, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel that the future of Konoha was full of light.

Tragically, his close friend and rival, Danzo Shimura, died...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's feelings towards Danzo Shimura were complex, but in a way, the two had a unique symbiotic relationship.

One person plays the role of light, and the other plays the role of darkness. By complementing each other, both of them achieve some of their respective goals.

Therefore, Danzo Shimura's death was more of a disadvantage than a benefit to Hiruzen Sarutobi...

When Hiruzen Sarutobi received the news of Danzo Shimura's death, he had a momentary impulse to question Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake about why they hadn't gone to support Danzo's forces immediately!

But upon further reflection, Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed the thought.

Because of the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake's prestige in Konoha had reached an alarming level.

It's hard to imagine what kind of waves their battle results will cause in Konoha.

Although we can't see the whole thing about Hiruzen Sarutobi, we can still guess the general idea.

His time to step down was drawing near...

No, it should be said that he stepped down and made way for a more capable person.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to step down; he felt he could continue to shine as Hokage.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi now harbors a great deal of resentment towards Minato Namikaze, and the trigger for this was Minato's unauthorized decision to make him the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails, Gyūki!

knock knock knock.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was brainstorming, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter!"

"Third Hokage, the peace delegation from Kumogakure has arrived. This is their peace document."

"Well, put it on the table."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the peace treaty from Kumogakure from his desk, unfolded it, and read it carefully.

But after reading only half of it, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up and slammed the peace treaty document in his hand onto the table.

"Damn it! They were the first to be eliminated, how dare they threaten us, the victors, with that tone and that method!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious. He couldn't understand why the Hidden Cloud Village, despite being the defeated side, could still use such strong language.

After venting his anger, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed down and picked up the peace documents that had fallen on his desk.

After watching it two or three times in its entirety, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt a pang of sorrow.

If, as the peace treaty states, Kumogakure also joins the ninja alliance between Kaze and Tochi, then the future of the Land of Fire...

"Minato, you're so foolish, so incredibly foolish!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly remembered Killer Bee, "If we don't become the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki for the sake of power, Killer Bee would be a very strong bargaining chip in our hands!"
