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

"Heh, we'll see if it's true once we try!"

Akira Hatake let out a cold laugh, and then swam like a fish into the depths of the cave where the dragon vein was hidden.

Soon after, Akira Hatake reached the deepest part of the cave where the dragon vein was hidden, and a broken, white, bony horn came into view.

"As expected, it's exactly the same information I gave you in the future."

Upon seeing the white, bony horns, Akira Hatake felt greatly relieved and completely confirmed the true identity of the Loulan Dragon Vein!

The Loulan Dragon Vein is the transformation of the fallen Otsutsuki clan from outer space!

Although in theory, the Otsutsuki clan are immortal beings who cannot be killed, but only sealed away.

But theory is just theory; the reality is that the Otsutsuki clan still faces certain deaths for various reasons.

However, the death of the Otsutsuki clan is somewhat different from that of humans.

The Otsutsuki clan can have their physical bodies destroyed, their power completely plundered, or they can sacrifice themselves to die.

However, in the three situations mentioned above, the Otsutsuki clan can use the "sharp-cutting" technique, a secret technique unique to the Otsutsuki clan, to possess another body and be reborn!

But what if the "sharpening" technique is destroyed by an enemy who is also a member of the Otsutsuki clan?

Without the wedge, the fallen Otsutsuki clan members would become like the Loulan Dragon Vein, seeking out a planet with life to lie dormant.

Once they have absorbed enough of the earth's power, the Otsutsuki clan members in this state will have the opportunity to be resurrected.

But things are unpredictable, and the original consciousness of the Otsutsuki clan within the Loulan dragon vein dissipated over a long period of time...

However, after dissipating, the power of the fallen members of the Otsutsuki clan remained, and after a long period of evolution, a new consciousness was born.

And this is the Loulan Dragon Vein!

Without hesitation, Akira Hatake grabbed the white, bony horn lying quietly at the bottom of the cave!

boom!

The moment Akira Hatake grasped the white, bony horn in his hand, a surge of immense power coursed through his palm, rushing into his limbs and bones, and finally reaching the depths of his consciousness.

"This is……"

When Akira Hatake regained his senses, he found himself in a mysterious space.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white. Apart from the white color of Akira Hatake himself, there was no other color in the surrounding area.

"I never expected... that I would see living people when I was about to die."

Suddenly, ethereal sounds came from all directions, like loudspeakers with reverberation, the three-dimensional and heavy feeling constantly pounding on Akira Hatake's eardrums.

As the last word fell, the ethereal voices from all directions suddenly converged into one, finally settling in a corner of the milky white space.

"you……"

Akira Hatake stared blankly at the Otsutsuki clansman who had suddenly appeared before him, his mouth slightly agape.

The reason why they were able to identify the person in front of them as an Otsutsuki clan member was mainly because the person's features were so distinctive.

Her snow-white skin was wrapped in a white divine robe, and two long, curved white bone horns grew from her temples on both sides of her forehead, surrounded by a thick white bone "headband".

In the center of the white bone headband, there is still a hole, in which is embedded a scarlet nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan.

Most importantly, his eyes were not the Byakugan that all Otsutsuki people possessed; instead, his eyeballs were light blue and his conjunctiva was black—these were clear eyes!

Akira Hatake naturally recognized the Jōgan. It's not that Akira Hatake paid too much attention to Minato Namikaze's grandson, but rather that he had seen him in his previous life.

"Clear eyes!"

Akira Hatake blurted out involuntarily, startling the Otsutsuki clan member standing opposite him.

"Oh? Do you know him?"

"know."

Akira Hatake nodded, showing no fear of him. "Not only do I know you, but I also know that your status within the Otsutsuki clan is very high, almost at the top."

"While I'm surprised you know this, I have to admit you're right."

The Otsutsuki clansman with clear, bright eyes nodded. "My name is Otsutsuki Isshinshiki, and I was one of the former leaders of the Otsutsuki clan."

"And what about you, stranger standing before me?"

"Me? Akira Hatake, a member of the ninja world, and one of the high-ranking members of Konoha Village."

After introducing themselves, the two looked each other over, each trying to discern something different in the other's eyes.

"I see a lot in your eyes."

It was Ōtsutsuki Isshin who first broke the tension between the two: "Your complex inner world—calm, greedy, lazy, cold, yearning, tyrannical...—terrifies me."

"hehe."

Akira Hatake shook his head. "I'm not as bored as you, and I don't want to pry into what's going on in your heart."

All I know is that you are a loser, and a dying loser at that.

Despite listening to Akira Hatake's sarcasm, Otsutsuki Ichigo remained calm and composed.

It wasn't the contempt or indifference of those in power, but only calm, a still, undisturbed calm.

“You’re right, I am a loser.” Nodding, “I did lose in the battle caused by ideological differences, but I can’t blame anyone else, after all, they also have their own demands.”

"You...don't blame those Otsutsuki clansmen who killed you?"

"Strange? Why should we blame them?" Otsutsuki Isshin stared at Hatake Akira with some confusion. "It's just that I didn't do a good enough job. It has nothing to do with them."

Awesome!

Akira Hatake couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "I'm speechless..."

"This doesn't seem like something worth discussing."

Ōtsutsuki Isshin looked at Hatake Akira and asked, "Why did you come to my mind when I was about to die?"

"I don't know, but it could be a sign from fate."

Akira Hatake's answer was very versatile, not in the sense that it was versatile for everyone, but in the sense that it was very versatile for dealing with "saintly" people.

Through just a few words of conversation, Akira Hatake was already certain that the Otsutsuki shikigami before him was most likely a saint.

Although it cannot be 100% certain, that does not stop Akira Hatake from continuing to test him.

“Fate... I once reached a level of power that allowed me to glimpse and alter the future and the past, but now... I can no longer reach that level.”

Ōtsutsuki Isshin's voice was very calm, as if he were talking about something very ordinary, and he didn't care at all about what had happened to him.

Moreover, Otsutsuki Isshin's words revealed his trust in Hatake Akira.

"You believed it?" Akira Hatake curled his lip.

"Why don't you believe me?" Ōtsutsuki Isshin asked, somewhat puzzled. "What reason would you have to deceive me?"

"For example... for your strength?"

"If you want it, I can give it to you. It's very simple, there's no need for deception."

"It's that simple?"

Akira Hatake was truly dumbfounded this time; his worldview was completely shattered!

The Virgin Mary embodies great love; she treats enemies, allies, and strangers alike equally, and with all her heart.

But how could this be... how could this be!

Akira Hatake couldn't understand why such a good thing had fallen into his lap.

"You don't seem to believe me?"

Just as Akira Hatake was brainstorming, Isshin Otsutsuki interrupted him, saying, "If you need me, I will do my best to help you."

“I believe you…and I also know the specific reasons why you failed in your ideological conflict with your own people.”

Akira Hatake looked at Isshin Otsutsuki with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Based on the few words spoken by Ōtsutsuki Isshin Shiki just now, Hatake Akira has already judged the general level of Ōtsutsuki Isshin Shiki's strength.

The ability to control time and intervene in the timelines of the future and the past—this level of ability already belongs to the realm of gods…

Having such strength, yet ending up dead and vanished, that speaks volumes.

Furthermore, Akira Hatake also figured out why the space he was in had a pure white theme.

In the spiritual space of the Otsutsuki Isshin, there was not a single speck of dust, only light.

but……

Water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too honest will perish. It is cruel, but that is the way of the world!

"The reason isn't actually that important."

Ōtsutsuki Isshin shook his head. "I just wanted to stop them from using violent plunder to increase their power. They don't understand, but for the stability of the various life-bearing planets, I have to stop them."

"So I set up some obstacles, but in the end I found that these obstacles didn't work."

"With your power, you can suppress him by force, right?" Hatake Akira regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth. It was impossible to communicate with Otsutsuki Isshin Shiki, who had a pure saintly personality, using normal human thinking.

As expected, Otsutsuki Isshin Shiki launched into another long, rambling monologue, which Hatake Akira found somewhat unbearable.

The main problem is that Otsutsuki Ichijin's ideas are seriously incompatible with Hatake Akira's; they are definitely the kind of people who can't see eye to eye and would rather not say a word to each other.

"I understand, I understand..."

Akira Hatake waved his hand repeatedly, interrupting Isshiki Otsutsuki's rambling, "Let's not talk about your glorious past, I just want your help now."

Otsutsuki Isshin smiled slightly and nodded to Hatake Akira, "I'd be happy to help."

"I want to fuse these Byakugan and Sharingan together and awaken a higher level of power."

"Is that right?"

With a wave of his hand, Ōtsutsuki Isshin-shiki caused ten Byakugan to merge into one, the size of which was about the size of a pomegranate, and the huge eyeballs turned blue.

It's a giant blue Tenseigan!

"Yes, that's it!" Hatake Akira was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly at Otsutsuki Isshin Shiki.

However, Akira Hatake then noticed something amiss: the body of Isshin Otsutsuki was slowly fading, losing its previous solidity.

Clearly, Otsutsuki Isshin's actions just now were consuming his last bit of life.
