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

"Gan!"

Akira Hatake was naturally observing all the changes in Nagato's body, and he immediately cursed under his breath, realizing that something was wrong.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone Nagato Uzumaki at this moment!

Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!

A ferocious colossal statue, taller than a mountain, suddenly rose up on the earth. It had nine eyes on its head, but for some inherent reason, all nine eyes were closed.

The body of the Outer Path Statue resembled a withered tree, with ten pillar-like protrusions standing on its back.

Overall, the Gedo Mazo's design is very abstract, but Akira Hatake will not overlook the power contained within its bizarre body.

Abandoning his attack on Nagato Uzumaki, Akira Hatake retreated dozens of meters!

However, the towering size of the Outer Path Statue resulted in an absurdly large attack range. Its two withered wooden hands suddenly closed as if swatting a mosquito.

Snapped!

The sound was deafening, and the air fluctuations between his palms were visible to the naked eye, then rippled outwards in the next second.

"The familiar power has returned!"

The chakra chains binding Nagato Uzumaki snapped, and the negative effects and continuous damage inflicted on him abruptly dissipated.

Before Nagato could rejoice for long, a ball of chakra containing an extremely dangerous aura suddenly rushed towards him.

This is the skill Tai Gua: Longevity that Hatake Akira released before the chakra chain broke.

The instant the release was completed, Akira Hatake used his spatial abilities to instantly escape the attack range of the Gedo Mazo's palms.

Akira Hatake, who reappeared not far away, looked across the distance between himself and Nagato Uzumaki, anticipating the moment when the skill "Tai Gua: Longevity" would deliver a fatal blow to Nagato.

However, in his haste, Akira Hatake overlooked one thing: the Tai Gua Longevity ability, while possessing abnormally powerful offensive and supportive capabilities, was still a significant advantage.

However, in order to adapt to the Naruto world, Akira Hatake inherited three abilities from the hero template of Ming Shi Yin, the basic components of which are mostly chakra.

In other words, the chakra orb of Tai Gua: Longevity will have a counterproductive effect when facing the Rinnegan Preta Path ability.

Sure enough, but by the time Akira Hatake realized this, Nagato Uzumaki also caught on.

"It's just like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy!"

Nagato Uzumaki had just summoned the Gedo Mazo and manipulated it to attack Akira Hatake.

This move is powerful, but it also consumes an astronomical amount of Nagato's chakra and life force.

Now, facing the incoming chakra orb, Nagato Uzumaki smiled.

If the chakra and life energy contained in this ball of light are absorbed by the Preta Path, the physical depletion caused by summoning the Gedo Mazo will be partially compensated.

Without hesitation, Nagato Uzumaki instantly activated the Preta Path ability, attempting to absorb the oncoming chakra orb.

Just as Nagato Uzumaki had predicted, the chakra energy ball that Akira Hatake shot out was completely absorbed by the Preta Path's power.

The next second, Nagato's pale and thin face improved slightly, and even his somewhat frail body became more robust.

"This dense chakra is truly..."

Before the look of enjoyment on his face had faded, Nagato abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

Then, Nagato's expression changed!

"My Hungry Ghost Realm abilities... have disappeared?!"

Nagato was utterly horrified. How could the Six Paths ability of the Rinnegan disappear for no reason?

puff!

Then, Nagato spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee with a pained expression.

Akira Hatake's ultimate move is not so easy to catch!

Even though the Preta Path's ability can absorb chakra and convert it into Nagato Uzumaki's own chakra reserves.

However, this ability is not without its weaknesses.

For example, absorbing too much will cause one to die from overeating, or absorbing Sage Chakra will damage the abilities of the Preta Path.

Akira Hatake's skill, Tai Gua: Longevity, is indeed manifested through chakra, forming its own unique attack and support forms.

Logically speaking, Nagato Uzumaki should have had no problem absorbing all of Tai Gua: Longevity's chakra orb using the abilities of the Preta Path.

The problem is that the Tai Gua Longevity ability has its own unique power system. Although the absence of chakra as a carrier will greatly reduce its power, it will still be effective in the intended areas.

Not only did it cripple Nagato's Preta Path ability, it also weakened the life energy that Nagato had just recovered.

Nagato's blood-red hair suddenly became dull and lifeless. Although it didn't fade too much, it was enough to show that Nagato's physical condition was worrying.

Suddenly looking up, his purple Rinnegan stared intently at Akira Hatake.

It was only then that Nagato realized that Akira Hatake's great reputation in the ninja world was not solely due to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Akira Hatake's many unusual abilities caused Nagato Uzumaki to suffer heavy losses time and time again.

This made Nagato Uzumaki doubt his own strength, and his previous confidence dissipated by more than half.

However, hatred quickly restored Nagato's resolve; today he had to make Akira Hatake leave something behind!

"Uh...ah!"

With a roar, Nagato once again overdrawn his chakra, and the Gedo Mazo standing beside him moved again.

Suddenly, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path plunged its palms into the ground, and numerous chains shot out from the ten circular pillars behind it. Some chains sank deep into the earth, while others swirled and circled in the air, rapidly attacking Akira Hatake from above and below.

Akira Hatake remained unmoved when the Gedo Mazo made another move.

With his spatial abilities, he was able to completely ignore the attacks of the Gedo Mazo.

However, Akira Hatake overlooked one thing: Nagato Uzumaki's attack, which manipulated the Gedo Mazo, was actually a feint!

Although its target was Akira Hatake, the Gedo Mazo suddenly changed its attack trajectory just as it was about to strike, and instead attacked Hanzo the Salamander, which Akira had placed aside.

"Gan!"

"A feint attack?!"

Seeing that Nagato was about to attack Hanzo the Salamander, Akira Hatake immediately flew into a rage.

Hanzo the Salamander is key to reviving Rin Nohara; he absolutely cannot be lost at this moment!

Without hesitation, Akira Hatake used his spatial abilities to appear beside Hanzo the Salamander in an instant, picked him up with one hand, and carried him back on his shoulder.

Before Hatake Akira could even breathe a sigh of relief, a spiral-shaped spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in front of him, which was used as a defensive feature.

Uchiha Obito!

Akira Hatake was all too familiar with the manifestation of Kamui, the eye technique. After seeing the spiral-shaped spatial fluctuations, he knew that Obito Uchiha had come with ill intentions.

As expected, the attack from the Gedo Mazo, which had been blocked by Akira Hatake's spatial abilities, suddenly burst out from the spiraling spatial fluctuations and struck Akira Hatake's chest with lightning speed.

Without exception, Akira Hatake was violently thrown away.

However, before that, Akira Hatake threw the salamander Hanzo he was carrying on his shoulder into the water-like spatial fluctuations behind him, eliminating this factor that was slowing down his battle rhythm.

puff!

Akira Hatake spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his body spinning and flying far away.

If you look closely, you can see that Akira Hatake's chest has caved in, and the sharp bone fragments have pierced through his flesh due to the huge impact, exposed to the air.

But the next second, before Hatake Akira could land, a bright green light shone on his chest, a light unique to medical ninjutsu.

Instantly, medical ninjutsu helped Akira Hatake reset his bones, and the passive effect of equipping the "Holy Grail" also took effect at the same time. Akira Hatake's injuries were completely healed before he even landed.

With a smooth landing, Akira Hatake patted his unharmed chest, then turned his cold gaze forward.

With both Mangekyou Sharingan eyes present, Obito Uchiha, wearing a vortex mask, emerged from the spiral-shaped spatial fluctuations and stood side by side with Nagato Uzumaki.

Chapter 278 Hell Path: Yama's Reincarnation!

With his current strength and abilities, Akira Hatake is undoubtedly a dominant ninja in the current ninja world.

However, in the current ninja world, there are still some ninjas who possess the dominance to challenge Akira Hatake's position.

First, Nagato Uzumaki; second, Obito Uchiha.

However strong Nagato Uzumaki may be, he does not have an advantage when fighting Akira Hatake one-on-one.

Without outside interference or anyone needing Akira Hatake's care, the battle between Akira Hatake and Nagato Uzumaki is roughly 70/30.

Akira Hatake is seven, and Nagato Uzumaki is three.

The reason why Akira Hatake has such a high win rate is because Nagato Uzumaki does not possess spatial abilities or time abilities that counter spatial abilities.

Despite his versatile and unscrupulous spatial abilities, Nagato Uzumaki still encounters some of the same problems that Akira Hatake's enemies faced.

Many of Nagato's powerful attacks were completely ineffective against Akira Hatake.

But Obito Uchiha was different.

Now that Obito Uchiha possesses both eyes, the dual Kamui eye techniques provide him with unparalleled advantages. Not only does it allow Obito to use Susanoo, but its spatial abilities, comparable to those of Akira Hatake, also severely limit Hatake's performance.

Just like the scene just now, although the attack of the Gedo Mazo was clearly broken by Hatake Akira's spatial abilities, Hatake Akira still suffered great injuries because of Uchiha Obito's interference.

Although Akira Hatake escaped danger thanks to the passive effect of the Holy Grail and his expertise in medical ninjutsu, it also shows that the threat Akira Hatake faces is gradually increasing after Obito Uchiha and Nagato Uzumaki join forces.

but……

Akira Hatake was not flustered at all.

With the "Holy Grail" equipment, Akira Hatake's recovery abilities in battle slowly increase over time.

Even if the two of them join forces, Akira Hatake is confident that he can wear them down to death!

After all, Obito Uchiha's Kamui eye technique does not have the ability to seal space, which means that Akira Hatake can still use his space-time abilities to slowly maneuver around the two of them.

With a leisurely flick of the nonexistent stain on his chest, Akira Hatake remained silent, simply extending his right hand to beckon to the two of them.

In the eyes of Obito Uchiha and Nagato Uzumaki, Akira Hatake's action was nothing short of a provocation.

That was also Akira Hatake's original intention.

If provocation can throw the two of them off balance, then Akira Hatake will have a breakthrough in the upcoming battle.

Unfortunately, Akira Hatake's plan clearly failed.
