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

"Forehead……"

Itachi Uchiha was somewhat bewildered. Could something so simple really be called a mission?!

"Don't underestimate the task I've assigned you. Once you complete this task, even more challenging tasks await you."

Akira Hatake glared at Itachi Uchiha, "Aren't you going yet?!"

"Yes, master!"

Uchiha Itachi shrank his neck and ran out like the wind with his short legs.

"Ha ha……"

After Itachi Uchiha disappeared from Akira Hatake's sight, Akira Hatake laughed out loud, his laughter tinged with a hint of wickedness.

"Children should retain their childlike innocence and read more fairy tales. Pretending to be an adult all the time is really pointless."

Akira Hatake stood up, stretched a few times, yawned, and walked towards the Ninja Academy.

Akira Hatake hadn't forgotten that as the vice principal, he still had a lot to do.

……

As the days went by, the situation in the ninja world became relatively stable.

The Land of Lightning had already been defeated. At this time, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, were busy dealing with the mess within the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village.

Of course, the dispatch of delegations to the Land of Fire and Konoha for peace talks is also proceeding at a rapid pace.

Similarly, the defeated Land of Water, like the Land of Lightning, is now licking its wounds in its own territory.

However, unlike the Land of Lightning, the corrupted Obito Uchiha caused a lot of trouble for the Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

After several successful genjutsu hints from Obito Uchiha, Mizukage Yagura had already developed a fairly comprehensive reform plan for Kirigakure.

Of course, with Obito Uchiha's intervention, this reform plan will not only fail, but will also plunge Kirigakure into turmoil.

Before long, the shadow of the "Blood Mist" talent development program will loom over the entire Hidden Mist Village.

However, unlike the two countries mentioned above, the two countries of Fengtu have not stopped their wars.

However, the ninja alliance of Kaze and Tochi changed their invasion target from Konoha to Takigakure, with the aim of plundering the Seven-Tails, Jōmei, from Takigakure.

Moreover, the military operations of the two countries did not stop there. The water kingdom, which had lent passage to the two countries, ended up losing more than it gained, and was instead bitten by the land kingdom.

For this, Hanzo, the demigod of the ninja world, was so angry that he vomited blood. A letter from Sakumo Hatake made him regret his actions.

If Hanzo the Salamander had realized his mistake immediately upon receiving the letter, he wouldn't be in this passive situation now.

Helpless and outnumbered, Hanzo of the Salamander had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask Konoha for help.

Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze is currently in power in Konoha. He is extremely cold to outsiders, to an appalling degree.

Minato Namikaze ignored Hanzo of the Salamander's plea for help, and simply agreed to Hanzo's request for Konoha to provide various supplies to Amegakure.

Of course, Konoha charges a fee for providing supplies to Amegakure; Minato Namikaze is no saint!

Upon learning of this, Akira Hatake was very pleased, as Minato Namikaze finally understood what it meant to be a sage within and a king without.

However, Akira Hatake immediately became somewhat worried.

Is Nagato, Madara Uchiha's pawn, already placed on the chessboard?

Chapter 238 This is how victorious nations should negotiate!

Konoha 48, April 10th.

Akira Hatake and Kakashi have already celebrated their birthdays, and the two brothers have taken another step forward in their age.

It is worth mentioning that, after several months of negotiations and repeated probing, the peace delegations sent by the defeated Land of Lightning and Land of Water officially arrived in Konoha today.

Only with the consent of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire could Konoha represent the Daimyo in negotiating peace with the delegations of the two defeated nations.

In summary, once the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water took this step, it marked the beginning of the final stages of the Third Shinobi World War.

"I disagree!"

Gong Yu Zhou Er is a Jonin from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning. Although he is quite strong, his main job is as an administrative staff member in Kumogakure.

Since the current Fourth Raikage, Tsuchishiro, cannot come, Miyazaki Shuu naturally becomes the head of the negotiation delegation from Kumogakure, the Land of Lightning.

At this moment, Gong Yu's eyes were wide open in anger, his burly body trembled slightly with rage, and the veins on his palm bulged as he slammed his hand on the table, leaving a handprint on the negotiating table.

"If you disagree, we can talk it over."

Sakumo Hatake spoke calmly, pointing to the handprints on the negotiating table, "But you must compensate us for arbitrarily damaging Konoha's public property."

"Sakumo Hatake, Konoha, don't push your luck!"

Gong Yu laughed angrily on Tuesday, "You want compensation for what's at the negotiating table? I'll give it to you!"

Pulling a wad of banknotes from his pocket, Gong Yu slammed them on the table on Tuesday. "But the absurd peace terms proposed by your Konoha will never be accepted by the Land of Lightning!"

“We did not get your consent.”

Kakashi's voice was devoid of emotion, and the temperature in the negotiation room dropped several degrees the moment he opened his mouth: "We're just informing you unilaterally, it's that simple."

"Hatake! Kakashi!"

Gong Yu raised his finger on Kakashi on Tuesday, his finger trembling slightly, and his heavy breathing sounded like that of a calf. "You people from Konoha, don't push your luck!"

"Please understand, our Land of Lightning has only been defeated, not destroyed!"

"We can accept reparations, after all, we are a defeated nation."

After his outburst, Gong Yu's emotions calmed down on Tuesday, and calmness regained his intellectual high ground. "We can discuss the specific amount of compensation, and we can also discuss having the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning issue an apology statement."

"but!"

After a deep scan of the Konoha negotiators, the Land of Lightning declared, "We will not accept any of these conditions: ceding territory, reducing military spending, paying taxes to the Land of Fire and Konoha, handing over the Book of Seals of our village, handing over the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of our village!"

"I understand what you mean."

Sakumo Hatake remained expressionless, his hands clasped together under his chin, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"But our Land of Fire still insists on all the peace terms it has drawn up, Gong Yu Zhou Er, do you understand?"

"Sakumo Hatake, what do you mean?"

"My father's meaning is that if you agree, your delegation from the Land of Lightning will sign and leave; if you don't agree, our village will consider it as you abandoning this peace talk, and we will soon restart a new round of war against the Land of Lightning!"

"You...you guys!"

Gong Yu was extremely indignant on Tuesday, but even so, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

The Land of Fire currently holds an absolute advantage over the Land of Lightning, so it's a lie for Miyamoto to say on Tuesday that he's not afraid of the Land of Fire starting a new war.

Moreover, facing the father-son duo of Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Kakashi, Gong Yu Zhou Er couldn't muster any toughness at all; his previously invincible bluffing suddenly became somewhat ineffective.

and so……

“Our pleas for peace this time are very sincere.” Gong Yu was preparing to change his approach on Tuesday. “In terms of negotiation terms, our Land of Lightning is willing to take a step back, just to befriend the Land of Fire.”

"Moreover, our Land of Lightning has always admired the culture of the Land of Fire and greatly respects its formidable strength."

"If this negotiation goes smoothly, our Land of Lightning is willing to sign a non-aggression pact with the Land of Fire, contributing to a peaceful future for the ninja world!"

Sure enough, after changing the approach, Gong Yu's words on Tuesday were quite eloquent.

but……

Sakumo Hatake wasn't buying it at all!

Who doesn’t know how to draw cakes?

Anyone can sign an agreement.

Anyone can break an agreement.

"Gong Yu, I admire your eloquence."

Sakumo Hatake made a gesture of praise towards Shuu Miyabi, "But we're all adults, so we all know that no matter how beautiful the words are, they can't compare to real, tangible benefits right in front of us!"

"I regret to inform you that none of our proposed peace terms will be changed!"

"And I'm giving you an ultimatum: you only have one day to negotiate with us."

"If you still can't make a decision by the end, then..."

Hatake Sakumo cracked his knuckles. "We, the Land of Fire, will consider the Land of Lightning's decision to forgo the opportunity for peace talks and will once again organize our ninja forces the following day to re-enter the heart of the Land of Lightning!"

"That's not how you negotiate!"

On Tuesday, Gong Yu was on the verge of a breakdown. Hatake Sakumo had been adamant about the peace policy of "fighting if you don't agree," which left Gong Yu with absolutely no room to maneuver.

No matter how eloquent Gong Yuzhou is, it's no match for absolute strength!

"Kakashi, how long has it been?"

Sakumo Hatake ignored Zhou Er and instead asked Kakashi, who was sitting next to him.

“Father, 20 minutes have passed.”

"Hmm." Hatake Sakumo nodded, then looked at the bewildered Miyagami Shuu, "You have 23 hours and 40 minutes to consider."

"No, there are only 23 hours and less than 40 minutes left..."

Sakumo Hatake indifferently turned his head away, saying, "If your Land of Lightning doesn't know its place, or doesn't want to negotiate, then keep dragging this out."

"You... you..."

Gong Yu's eyes widened on Tuesday, her lips moved, and she spoke haltingly.

After considering for a long time, Gong Yu's expression darkened on Tuesday. "Our Land of Thunder can accept the cession of territory and the payment of taxes annually..."

"But... we will never agree to cut military spending, reduce the number of ninjas, or hand over the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Scroll of Seals to Konoha!"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Sakumo Hatake stood up, followed closely by Kakashi. "The peace delegation from the Land of Water next door is still waiting for us. Since we have limited time, we will not keep them company any longer!"

"Hiashi, Kakashi, let's go!"

After leaving those words behind, Hatake Sakumo led Kakashi and Hyuga Hiashi away from the negotiating table.

"Aren't you afraid of reigniting war between our two countries?!"
