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

"Even if someone else steps forward, it will be a situation where the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, making the future of the ninja world even more unpredictable."

Minato Namikaze's concerns are not without merit. The saying "if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze" is a principle that everyone should know.

Moreover, it wasn't just Minato Namikaze; Akira Hatake had also long disliked Black Zetsu, this "filial son."

Every day, he would secretly plot something behind the scenes, which annoyed Akira Hatake to no end.

He was still thinking about unifying the ninja world as soon as possible and retiring sooner!

Fortunately, Akira Hatake already had an effective way to deal with this, which could capture or even kill Black Zetsu who was hiding behind his back.

"Teacher, I understand your concerns."

Akira Hatake nodded, and then began to explain his plan, which he had already thought of long ago. "I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone. I wonder if you would like to give it a try, teacher?"

"Speak!" Minato Namikaze looked at Akira Hatake with shining eyes, his eagerness undisguised.

“In my plan, Obito Uchiha is the most crucial link.”

“Obito Uchiha?” Minato Namikaze frowned. “Having already fallen into darkness, I feel… he still poses some potential risks.”

"No, as long as Nohara Rin is resurrected and can bring Uchiha Obito back on the right track, then Uchiha Obito will be the most virtuous of people."

Akira Hatake had a hint of regret on his face. "Obito Uchiha was a very pure person. Whether he was in the light or the darkness, he was always pure."

"And the source of his purity is Nohara Rin."

"And that's the real reason why I went to such great lengths to revive Nohara Rin."

“Alright…” Minato Namikaze nodded, no longer dwelling on Obito Uchiha. “Then tell me in detail.”

"Good teacher."

Akira Hatake nodded and then began to explain in detail the series of plans he had already formulated.

Ten minutes later, Akira Hatake was still talking non-stop, while Minato Namikaze's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Twenty minutes later, Akira Hatake took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, while Minato Namikaze's brows gradually relaxed.

Half an hour later, Akira Hatake had basically finished explaining his plan, and Minato Namikaze finally showed a relieved smile.

"Ming, you have never let me down, not even once."

Minato Namikaze patted Akira Hatake's thin shoulder, unconsciously using a bit too much force, causing the wheelchair beneath Akira to sway back and forth.

"Teacher, please be gentle."

Although Akira Hatake didn't feel much, he still made a show of shouting.

"Haha, I was a little too happy, so I didn't hold back..."

Minato Namikaze laughed heartily. The initial gloom gradually dissipated, and a warm, sunny smile returned to his face.

Seeing Minato Namikaze's smile, Akira Hatake felt somewhat embarrassed.

Rubbing his hands together, Akira Hatake cautiously began, "Teacher, you won't be... unhappy that I'm treating Kushina like... your wife?"

"Very angry."

Minato Namikaze said truthfully, while simultaneously grabbing Akira Hatake by the back of the neck with one hand, "How could I not be angry!"

After shaking it vigorously a few times, Minato Namikaze finally let go, finally venting his frustration.

"But... I can't think of a better way to deal with this than your method."

His expression was slightly disappointed, but Minato Namikaze quickly adjusted, "Kushina should be able to understand in order to completely stabilize the ninja world."

“And you’re here too.” Minato Namikaze looked at Akira Hatake very seriously. “You came up with the plan, and you’re in charge of how to implement it. I’m leaving Kushina to you.”

"I hope you can protect your Kushina-sensei wife and also protect our child."

"Don't worry, teacher. There will be absolutely no problems with Kushina and your child. I promise!"

"Alright, in that case, let's move on to the next matter."

"Next?" Akira Hatake's eyes widened. "Teacher, I'm still a patient, I need to rest!"

"It's a very simple thing, nothing troublesome."

After saying that, Minato Namikaze glanced at Hiashi Hyuga and said, "Hiashi, I hope you will keep the series of plans you just heard a secret."

"I will, Hokage-sama!"

Nodding emphatically, Hyuga Hiashi tactfully took his leave, saying, "Hokage-sama, I just remembered I have some matters to attend to within the clan, so I'll take my leave now."

"Go."

Minato Namikaze responded and then watched Hiashi Hyuga leave.

After Hiashi Hyuga left, Minato Namikaze started talking again.

"Akira, the third generation has finally embarked on the path I least wanted to see."

Minato Namikaze's face was like a dye vat, flashing with all sorts of complex emotions, enough to prove his complicated feelings at the moment.

“Just last night, one of the ANBU ninjas I sent to monitor the Third Hokage went missing.”

"However, just before the incident, he sent over a few words of information, in which the Third Hokage was gathering some of his former ninja subordinates."

"Although there is no evidence, and I don't want to admit it, many clues point to the Third Hokage, which makes me... find it difficult to make a decision."

"So Ming, I need your help to come up with some ideas."

"Teacher, you're making things difficult for me..." Akira Hatake said with a bitter expression. "You should make the decision yourself. Please don't ask me."

"You must know that you are the Hokage, and many times the power of life and death is yours."

Akira Hatake had no intention of getting involved in the power struggle between Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although part of the conflict between the two was caused by Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze has now grown powerful and is no longer someone anyone can control.

Minato Namikaze asked Akira Hatake simply to get him to make up his mind through Akira.

To put it bluntly, Minato Namikaze isn't heartless. Although he's not a pushover, he's very sentimental.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing, but Akira Hatake can't say for sure.

After all, Minato Namikaze's sentimentality would be of great benefit to Akira Hatake in the future, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“I know that, but the Third Hokage is involved in a lot of things. If it’s not handled properly, I’m worried…”

"Teacher, there's really nothing to worry about."

Akira Hatake shook his head, still intending to give Minato Namikaze a small reminder: "Sometimes, you can consult more than just me; Orochimaru is also a good option."

"Orochimaru is a genius, but his obsession with scientific research has perfectly concealed his many strengths."

"Orochimaru……"

Minato Namikaze lowered his head, rubbed his chin, and muttered Orochimaru's name as he fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, Minato Namikaze raised his head again. "You're right, Orochimaru might be a good person to consult."

……

After leaving the Hokage's office, Akira Hatake went straight to the Uchiha clan's residence.

Because he wanted to appear weak to the enemy, Akira Hatake made no attempt to hide his sickly appearance; his frail body in the wheelchair looked as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

As a result, rumors that Akira Hatake "cannot become a ninja" spread like wildfire, and not only the entire Hidden Leaf Village knew about it, but also most of the ninja world knew about Akira Hatake's current physical condition.

Some say that Akira Hatake was envied by fate, after all, his achievements were too dazzling.

Some people say that Akira Hatake's strength improved too quickly, which damaged his foundation and led to his current state.

Some even confidently asserted that Akira Hatake was injured during a mission, which is why he ended up in his current state.

In short, almost everyone believed what Hatake was putting on, including Obito Uchiha.

Because Obito Uchiha believed in his own knowledge and common sense, Akira Hatake suddenly raised his strength to an unbelievable level, which was illogical no matter how you looked at it.

Therefore, Obito Uchiha had reason to believe that Akira Hatake must have used a forbidden technique he didn't know and paid a huge price to raise his strength to the Six Paths level.

However, Obito Uchiha could never have imagined that although Akira Hatake's current condition seemed to be terminally ill, only when they actually fought would others realize how deceptive his appearance was.

Of course, not everyone believed what Akira Hatake was putting on.

For example, Fugaku Uchiha saw things very clearly and thought them through very well.

"bright!"

When Akira Hatake appeared at the Uchiha clan's residence, Fugaku Uchiha, along with Mikoto Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, came to greet him with great enthusiasm.

"master!"

The serious-looking Itachi Uchiha is somewhat cute, and at this time, without the tear stain mark, Itachi Uchiha definitely deserves the title of "shota" (young boy).

"Itachi, how's your schoolwork going lately?"

"Itachi is following his master's teachings. He is not currently refining chakra or engaging in taijutsu training on his own. Instead, he is doing his best to learn a great deal of theoretical knowledge."

"very good."

Akira Hatake nodded with satisfaction. "Not arrogant or impatient, but methodical and steady, not bad, not bad."

The reason why Itachi Uchiha was not allowed to start ninja training too early was because, in Akira Hatake's memories, the culprit that prevented Itachi Uchiha from progressing further was his physical illness.

Akira Hatake doesn't know the specifics of the illness, but it's certain that Itachi Uchiha's illness was largely due to the excessive exploitation of his potential during his childhood.

Although Itachi Uchiha will not repeat the same mistakes after the arrival of Akira Hatake, precautions should still be taken.

Moreover, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. With Itachi Uchiha's talent, delaying his training by two years really isn't a big problem for him.

Moreover, there's Akira Hatake around. Even if Itachi Uchiha is a pig, Akira Hatake can still make him feel like he's on top of the world!

After praising Itachi Uchiha a couple of times, Akira Hatake finally turned his attention to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Chief Fugaku, it's been a long time."

"Ming, I've told you so many times, just call me by my name."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned, said something to Akira Hatake in a displeased manner, then turned around and went behind Akira Hatake to push his wheelchair forward.

"Ming, how are you feeling?"

"It's alright, nothing special."

"I think you've finally found an excuse to slack off." Fugaku Uchiha naturally didn't believe that Akira Hatake was just putting on an act. "You're still the same as before, trying to hide your strength."
