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

"You've said all the nice things, haven't you?"

Akira Hatake looked up at Fugaku Uchiha, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, then rolled his eyes at him. "It's windy outside. Let's talk in your yard."

"Okay, let's go there right now."

Fugaku Uchiha smiled and pushed the wheelchair even harder, quickly bringing Akira Hatake to his luxurious courtyard.

"Fugaku, to be honest, compared to your house, my house is really too shabby!"

"Akira, what are you saying?" Fugaku Uchiha glared at Akira Hatake. "My clan happens to own a mansion in a prime location in the village. If you don't mind, how about I sell it to you for 1 ryo?"

"Aren't you selling it at a loss?"

"No, no, it's better to sell it than leave it there to collect dust." Fugaku Uchiha spoke eloquently. "Every little bit helps, and if you really think about it, I'll actually make a profit."

"In that case, I'll have Kakashi bring the money over tomorrow."

Akira Hatake had no reason not to eat the fatty meat that was being offered to him. Besides, the Uchiha clan was a large and powerful family, and a mere mansion in a bustling area was hardly a serious threat.

However, after enjoying the benefits, Akira Hatake did not forget the true purpose of his trip.

"Fugaku, I have something here that's mutually beneficial, but it carries some risks and goes against human ethics. Would you like to listen to it and then consider it?"

When Fugaku Uchiha heard Akira Hatake talk about "mutual benefit," he was initially excited, but the more he listened, the more his heart sank.

Having reached a certain level of strength and influence, Akira Hatake no longer bothered with roundabout embellishments; what he says now is almost entirely true.

Therefore, Fugaku Uchiha was a little apprehensive, and he could only tentatively ask Akira Hatake a question.

"Ming, is this matter more beneficial than harmful to our clan... or more harmful than beneficial?"

“Of course it’s the former.” Akira Hatake said without hesitation. “If this plan succeeds, your family’s giant Rinnegan will benefit greatly.”

Then, Akira Hatake went straight to the point, revealing the research plan that Orochimaru had specifically devised for the Uchiha clan.

Chapter 288 The moment of revenge is approaching.

Orochimaru's clone project, whose clone samples are currently primarily sourced from three bloodline families, has only been tentatively identified as the main source.

First, naturally, it is one of the lineages of the Immortal Body, the Uzumaki Clan.

Secondly, there is the Uchiha clan, the lineage of the Sage Eyes.

Third is the Hyuga clan, the lineage that inherited the Byakugan from the Otsutsuki clan.

This shows that Orochimaru has great ambitions; he really wants to reverse Kaguya Otsutsuki's original bloodline.

As for Akira Hatake, he would naturally support Orochimaru's crazy ideas, and even reluctantly became Orochimaru's advocate.

"Fugaku, to tell you the truth, Orochimaru is currently conducting a secret research project, and one of the experimental subjects needed for this research is the bloodline of your Uchiha clan."

"Ok?"

Fugaku Uchiha uttered a single word, then fell silent with a gloomy expression.

The word "bloodline" is completely irrelevant to ordinary civilian ninjas, but for bloodline clans that rely on bloodlines for survival, these two words are enough to make them extremely vigilant.

As a top-tier clan among bloodline clans, the Uchiha clan's layers of protection for their bloodline's safety can be described as top-notch.

Ensuring that the family bloodline does not flow out is a rule that every member of the Uchiha clan must abide by.

As the current head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha has taken this vigilance to the extreme in protecting the clan's bloodline.

At this moment, no matter who stands in front of Fugaku Uchiha and asks him for the Uchiha clan's bloodline, Fugaku Uchiha will have the same attitude.

"Ming, I don't know what you're thinking, but I can only tell you that I absolutely cannot agree to this!"

After a long pause, Fugaku Uchiha firmly rejected Akira Hatake's request, his eyes filled with a warning.

"I don't know what kind of experiments Orochimaru is conducting, but the Uchiha clan's bloodline cannot be violated. If he tries to take it by force..."

"The Uchiha clan is not to be trifled with!"

"Ming, I hope you can weigh the pros and cons carefully and not be blinded by Orochimaru's sweet talk."

Fugaku Uchiha was very blunt, practically accusing Akira Hatake of being in cahoots with Orochimaru.

Akira Hatake had anticipated this before he arrived; it would be strange if Fugaku Uchiha agreed so readily.

"Fugaku, don't worry."

While Akira Hatake wasn't exactly humble, the gentleness in his words was unmistakable. "You can draw your conclusions after you've heard Orochimaru's detailed research plan."

"Ming, you don't need to say anything more. No matter what Orochimaru's research plan is, I will never agree to anything that asks for my clan's bloodline!"

Fugaku Uchiha once again refused Akira Hatake, his serious tone leaving no room for argument.

"Haha."

With a smile, Akira Hatake turned to look at Fugaku Uchiha. "Fugaku, don't you even trust me anymore?"

After asking a question, Akira Hatake became serious, "Fugaku, about that giant Rinnegan, I didn't lie to you back then, did I?"

"I didn't lie to you about the Uchiha clan's resurgence, did I?"

"Then tell me, did I go through all this trouble just to steal the bloodline of your Uchiha clan?"

"Impossible. If I wanted your Uchiha clan's bloodline, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble."

"To put it bluntly, the entire Uchiha clan's ninjas probably wouldn't be enough to defeat me alone."

"Why complicate a simple matter when I could just rob it outright?"

"So, Fugaku, don't worry too much. I only acted as Orochimaru's persuader because I genuinely believed there was a possibility of a win-win situation. Otherwise, given my personality, I would never have taken the initiative to play the villain."

With just a few words, Fugaku Uchiha fell silent once again.

What Akira Hatake said was perfectly reasonable. Regardless of whether Akira Hatake had good intentions or bad intentions towards the Uchiha clan, many things are not something the Uchiha clan can simply refuse.

When you are weaker than others, you must face this awkward situation.

"Akira, please tell me more about Orochimaru's research plan..."

After weighing the options for a while, Fugaku Uchiha finally gave in, and Akira Hatake's face regained its smile.

"Fugaku, Orochimaru's plan is very simple: he needs the blood of you, Mikoto Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha."

What are you going to do with our blood?

"Create a copy."

"A clone? What's that?" Fugaku Uchiha was full of questions; many of these terms were still new to him.

"It's about using your blood to create a 1:1 replica of your body, but without consciousness."

Akira Hatake began to explain to Fugaku Uchiha, "If there are no problems, the clones will have the same bloodline and talents as you, just like the two sides of a mirror."

"This……"

Fugaku Uchiha was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected Orochimaru's technology to have developed to this extent, and he gradually understood what benefits Akira Hatake had mentioned.

However, these are all speculations, and Fugaku Uchiha still needs to confirm with Akira Hatake in person.

"Ming, tell me, what exactly does Orochimaru intend to do with the bloodline clones of the four of us? And will our clones eventually be destroyed, and if so, how will they be disposed of?"

"You are quite perceptive."

Akira Hatake gave Fugaku Uchiha a deep look. Talking to smart people can indeed save a lot of trouble in many situations.

“The bloodline clones of the four of you are part of Orochimaru’s bloodline tracing plan, which is also part of his god-making plan.”

"This plan is very large, so I won't go into detail. You just need to know that if Orochimaru's ultimate plan succeeds, then Orochimaru will replicate the ancestor of your Uchiha clan."

"what?!"

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes widened. "Our Uchiha clan's ancestor... could be replicated using this method?"

"I'm not sure, but it's highly feasible."

Akira Hatake didn't make any definitive statements. "Although there is a possibility of failure, if this plan succeeds, the benefits to your clan will be substantial."

"How confident are you?" Fugaku Uchiha pressed.

"Fugaku, I really can't say for sure about these things, but the only thing I can be sure of is that your four-person clone project will be 100% successful."

Akira Hatake did not continue talking to Fugaku Uchiha about Orochimaru's "god-making plan," but instead steered the conversation back on track.

"Once the clones are successfully created, they have no consciousness or soul, and their lifespan is only a short 5 years."

"Therefore, the possibility of Orochimaru's clone research project resulting in the outflow of Uchiha clan blood is extremely small, so you can rest assured about that."

"Only five years to live... and without a soul..."

Fugaku Uchiha smacked his lips. "But Akira, what use is a clone like this?"

"Useful? Extremely useful!"

Akira Hatake pointed to his head and said, "The soul is hidden here, and the most direct manifestation of the soul is our Yin Release chakra."

"As for Yin Release chakra, apart from what can be acquired through later training, the rest can only be something you are born with."

"It goes without saying that those who cultivate after birth possess Yin Release chakra from birth; there are only a handful of clans in the ninja world who do so."

"Among these clans, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is undoubtedly the best."

"But... I still can't understand what the use is of these mindless, short-lived bloodline clones." Fugaku Uchiha blurted out, his face full of incomprehension.

"Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."

Akira Hatake waved his hand gently, "Fugaku, these clones are the real 'backup plans,' and their role is far beyond your imagination."

"According to Orochimaru's research, the strength of a person's soul is directly related to the total amount of Yin Release chakra within the body."

"In other words, the stronger the soul, the more Yin Release chakra one possesses, and the higher its quality."

"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is a manifestation of Yin Release chakra."

"To put it another way, although the evolution of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is driven by emotions, the driving force behind its evolution still comes from your souls and the amount of Yin Release chakra in your bodies."

"Emotional stimulation is only an auxiliary means, not the real way for the Sharingan to evolve."

"Correspondingly, the evolution of the Sharingan will also increase the soul strength of the Uchiha clan, which in turn will increase the Yin Release chakra of the Uchiha clan."

"In this way, the Sharingan, soul strength, and Yin Release chakra strength form a perfect closed loop."

"In other words, the three are mutually reinforcing and interdependent, which is the fundamental reason why the Uchiha clan is so powerful and produces geniuses in every generation."
