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

Gradually, Akira Hatake made a decision.

Chapter 212 Kakashi: I swear on Might Guy's youth.

Our gaze now turns to the battlefield of the Land of Water.

Two days ago, Orochimaru's forces had already crossed the Land of Fire's territory, arriving from the southwestern border to the southeastern border where Tsunade's forces were located.

To be honest, Orochimaru's reinforcements arrived very quickly, and the timing was also very appropriate and timely.

With the addition of Konoha ninjas under Orochimaru's command, the advance of the Land of Water ninja forces was effectively halted, and they even suffered considerable losses on some local battlefields.

Of course, this local battlefield does not include the encounter between Might Guy and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

It can be said that after Orochimaru's forces joined the battle in the Land of Water, the balance between offense and defense has become stable, and the ninja forces of the Land of Water are no longer able to advance even one step into the heart of the Land of Fire.

Furthermore, after Orochimaru's forces and Tsunade's forces were combined, command naturally shifted to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was not only a master of scientific research, but also quite accomplished in combat command.

Orochimaru can be described as a genius; the only factor limiting his progress was his short life.

It is probably for this reason that Orochimaru went further and further astray on the path of pursuing immortality.

Although the future has become uncertain due to Akira Hatake's involvement, the future situation of the Land of Water battlefield will gradually become clearer now that Orochimaru is in command.

In addition to his title of "Legendary Sannin of Konoha," Orochimaru is also known as "Cold-hearted Orochimaru."

The reason why "Cold Lord Orochimaru" became famous throughout the ninja world was initially because he had a pair of cold snake eyes, but what truly made his enemies acknowledge this title was Orochimaru's ruthless style of commanding battles.

As we all know, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and Orochimaru is cold not only to himself and his people, but also to his enemies.

Orochimaru's style of commanding battles is completely different from that of Jiraiya and Tsunade, two of the Legendary Sannin. His methods are quite similar to those of Danzo Shimura, who died in this war.

He doesn't care about the lives of his own people, much less the lives of his enemies. Orochimaru only cares about the result; all he wants is victory!

Orochimaru could send out a squad of Konoha ninja as bait without hesitation, not only ignoring their lives but also frequently refusing to help them in their time of need.

For this reason, Orochimaru often achieves unexpected results after sacrificing the lives of some Konoha ninja.

Winning with fewer troops and defeating the weak with stronger ones has always been Orochimaru's hallmark when commanding his forces in battle.

Therefore, this also forged Orochimaru's unique personal charisma, making some Konoha ninjas worship him madly, while others feared him like the plague.

Because you never know whether the next mission Orochimaru assigns you will be to act as bait to die, or to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Uncertainty and instability have become another hallmark of Orochimaru's command style.

Although Orochimaru's command style would indeed cause two extreme divisions in the Konoha ninja forces.

However, it is undeniable that under Orochimaru's command, the Konoha ninja forces are gradually regaining the upper hand and slowly eroding the Water Country ninja forces that have invaded the Land of Fire's territory.

Today, the stalemate between the two sides will be broken, as Kakashi Hatake has led the Konoha ninjas, formerly under Minato Namikaze, to the battlefield in the Land of Water.

"Kakashi, your equipment... reminds me of those Sengoku ninjas who have vanished into the dust of history."

When Orochimaru first saw Kakashi, he was taken aback, then licked his lips and uttered a sarcastic remark.

"I feel good."

When Akira Hatake wasn't by Kakashi's side, Kakashi always treated people with a very cold attitude.

Only Minato Namikaze could evoke some different emotions in Kakashi.

Orochimaru, despite his great reputation, was completely disregarded by Kakashi.

Kakashi has the strength, but he also has something to rely on.

"hehe."

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, not taking Kakashi's defiance to heart. "Kakashi, do you choose to go on a battlefield mission immediately, or rest for a day first?"

"It's entirely up to Lord Orochimaru to decide."

Kakashi blinked his deadpan eyes and passed the ball back to Orochimaru.

"hehe."

Another soft laugh rang out, Orochimaru's eyes gleaming. "Then let's go and carry out the battlefield mission immediately. I'm very eager to see what kind of outstanding performance you, who is known as one of the Konoha Twins along with Hatake Akira, will deliver on the battlefield."

"It will not let you down."

Kakashi's attitude remained indifferent, and his emotions showed little fluctuation.

To be honest, given Kakashi's current physical condition, such a long journey to provide assistance is a piece of cake for him.

With the help of Akira Hatake's third skill in assisting Kakashi's training, and the numerous pieces of equipment given to him by Akira Hatake this time, Kakashi's physical abilities are now frighteningly strong.

Although he still can't catch up with Hashirama Senju, Kakashi's total life energy is now comparable to that of Kushina Uzumaki.

Don't underestimate Kushina Uzumaki's physical abilities. She's a formidable person who survived being extracted from a tailed beast and was even able to use sealing techniques to re-imprison the Nine-Tails!

This demonstrates just how strong Kakashi's physical abilities are now.

"But I have a request."

After agreeing, Kakashi still made a request to Orochimaru: "The comrades who came with me to provide support need to rest for about two days before they can be deployed to the battlefield."

"It's natural."

Orochimaru certainly wouldn't make things difficult for Kakashi in this matter, and he originally had no intention of making things difficult for Kakashi; he just wanted to see how Kakashi would react after being provoked by him.

Unfortunately, Kakashi is not someone who can be easily provoked by a few words. He is very calm and steady right now.

"So Kakashi, what kind of ninjas of what strength would you like me to send you?"

Orochimaru tilted his head. "Is he a medical ninja? A sensory ninja? Or perhaps a support ninja?"

“No need.” Kakashi shook his head. “They will only become a burden to me, limiting my ability to exert my strength.”

"Ha, how arrogant!"

Orochimaru didn't speak, but Tsunade, who was standing to the side looking Kakashi up and down, snorted and reprimanded Kakashi.

Tsunade's reprimand of Kakashi wasn't out of genuine blame, but rather a way of showing him some consideration.

In Tsunade's understanding, long journeys are very physically and mentally taxing, and Kakashi was also wearing a rather heavy half-body armor and cloak, which undoubtedly made Kakashi's exhaustion even more severe.

Hearing Tsunade's reprimand, Kakashi knew that Tsunade was taking care of him, but knowing this did not mean that Kakashi would appreciate it.

To be honest, neither Akira Hatake nor Kakashi can unleash their full potential in one-on-one combat.

Especially in battlefields where skill levels vary greatly, whether or not you have teammates nearby is the biggest limiting factor affecting the speed at which two people can mow down enemies.

As mentioned earlier, when there are teammates, Kakashi or Akira Hatake need to be distracted by taking care of others, which prevents them from unleashing their full potential.

Without the constraints of teammates, Kakashi or Akira Hatake could single-mindedly mow down enemy ninjas.

"Lady Tsunade, please believe me, I can handle everything."

Kakashi put away his deadpan expression and looked at Tsunade with sincere eyes, hoping she wouldn't meddle in his business.

Tsunade glared at Kakashi, but seeing that he showed no sign of backing down, she could only let him go on his own.

"Hmph, whatever you want!"

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

Kakashi bowed in thanks, then looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Lord Orochimaru, what mission have you assigned me?"

"Your mission..."

Orochimaru thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers. "Given your confidence, I have no choice but to change the original mission and send you alone to the front lines in the Land of Water!"

"Orochimaru, you..." Tsunade stared at Orochimaru in disbelief, somewhat confused.

Kakashi is now famous, but rumors are just rumors, and they inevitably become exaggerated over time.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and before Kakashi's own strength was proven, Orochimaru gave him a mission to die alone, which Tsunade found utterly absurd!

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Just as Tsunade was about to stop him, Kakashi nodded in agreement, leaving Tsunade speechless and feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Humph!"

Turning her head away angrily, Tsunade decided to avoid seeing him and quickly walked out of Orochimaru's command tent.

"Very good!" Orochimaru licked his lips. "You can set off now. Remember, this attack mission is for you alone!"

"I see."

Kakashi nodded slightly to Orochimaru, then turned and left the command tent.

"Kakashi!"

Just as Kakashi was about to leave Orochimaru's command tent, Might Guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Kai?!"

When Kakashi encountered an old acquaintance at the camp, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

After all, Kakashi and Might Guy got along very well in Team 8, and their relationship had reached the stage of close friendship.

"Ha! Kakashi, you look really imposing!"

Matt Ke was also immersed in the joy of their reunion, which temporarily eased the grief of losing his loved one.

His behavior was somewhat exaggerated and unconventional. Might Guy kept jumping around Kakashi, poking and prodding him from left and right as he jumped, showing great curiosity about Kakashi's armor and cloak.

"What material is this made of...? It doesn't look very good quality. Is it just for show?"

After observing for a long time, Might Guy scratched his head and blurted out a sentence that almost made Kakashi collapse.

"This is a magical artifact that my brother gave me!"

Kakashi glanced at Might Guy with obvious disdain, and even reached out to pat the part of the armor that Might Guy had touched.

"Is it really that serious... I was just saying it."

Might Guy felt wronged; he was just telling the truth, so why did he get a glare from Kakashi?

It's really just average!

Of course, he is still really handsome.

But then, Might Guy's eyes suddenly lit up, "Kakashi, did Akira come with you?!"
