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

Princess Tianxin widened her golden snake eyes. "I don't believe it! How could a mere brat who has lived for less than 20 years possibly possess such a supreme power as time!"

"Alright, Shinhime, let's accept reality."

Having said that, the White Snake Immortal fell silent, his mind returning to reality.

After standing quietly for less than half a minute, Akira Hatake and Shinki Takoshi, whose eyes had been vacant, regained their spirits.

"call……"

Akira Hatake let out a long sigh of relief. He felt a great weight lifted off his hunger and the temptation of delicious food, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his stomach.

However, the performance of the examiner, Shinki Takoto, after waking up was not as good as that of Akira Hatake.

Her knees buckled, and her delicate body collapsed to the ground.

"Sister Shenji, I never expected you to lose..."

The legal loli, Kijima-hime, covered her mouth and chuckled, a teasing look on her face. "Looks like that handsome older brother isn't for you. Now it's my turn to shine."

"Ichikishima-hime...you vile woman!"

Tianxin Shenji was filled with resentment and bitterness, but she could only stare helplessly. Losing was losing, and no amount of excuses would make a difference.

"Brother Akira Hatake, it may be presumptuous of me, but I'm about to begin."

"Damn it...they won't even let anyone else have a turn..."

Before she could finish saying the word "rest," Princess Ichikishima pulled Akira Hatake into a completely new illusion.

Moreover, just like before, both of them had lifeless eyes and were in a daze.

The scene changes, and Akira Hatake is led by Princess Ichikishima to a cave.

"Brother, this is it."

Princess Ichikishima's voice was playful and clear, "This is where you will undergo your next trial."

"here?"

Akira looked around and found that there was nothing special in the cave; the surroundings were bare except for rocks.

However, there were some strange aspects as well.

In the crevices of the rocks in the cave, there exists a bright green crystal of unknown purpose.

Akira Hatake sensed that these luminous green crystals were very strange, and the devouring power covering them made him feel alarmed.

"Yes, this is the place."

Princess Ichikishima smiled sweetly, nodded, and continued to explain to Akira Hatake, "This trial is also very difficult."

He bent down and broke off a piece of emerald green crystal from a crack in the rocks at his feet, tossing it casually in his hand. "Brother, these crystals can absorb a person's chakra, and they absorb a lot of it!"

Boom.

As soon as Princess Ichikishima finished speaking, a loud bang came from the cave entrance, and a spherical boulder covered with holes completely sealed the entrance.

"Brother, I don't want to go through all that trouble like Princess Tianxin. I prefer to be more direct."

Princess Ichikishima glanced shyly at Akira Hatake, "Although my brother has lost some weight, the power he possesses is astonishing."

"So, I've increased the difficulty a bit. I've added quite a few holes in the boulder that seals the cave so that these crystals can be placed inside."

"Brother, if you don't want to be eaten by me, then try harder to fill these holes."

Princess Ichikishima suddenly grinned, revealing sharp teeth, and licked Akira Hatake's face with her pink, forked tongue. "Brother, but I hope you can't fill these voids... then I can eat you up!"

"Hehehe, hahaha..."

Like a child who had played a prank, Princess Ichikishima laughed happily as her body, which was floating in mid-air, rapidly flew towards the cave entrance.

"Brother, remember, you only have half an hour..."

As her last words faded, Princess Ichikishima disappeared at the cave entrance, leaving only Akira Hatake inside.

"Does the first challenge test willpower, and the second challenge test physical fitness?"

Having reached a conclusion, Akira Hatake bent down and, mimicking Ichikishima-hime's actions, broke off a piece of the luminous green crystal growing from the crack in the rock.

hum...

With a soft sound and a vibration, the emerald green crystal held in Hatake Akira's hand suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the cave with a lush green light while simultaneously draining Hatake Akira's chakra.

"Ha ha……"

Akira Hatake chuckled lightly, "Princess Ichikishima, you probably don't know just how easy this challenge is for me!"

After saying that, Akira Hatake used the light of the emerald green crystal to search for crystals all over the cave, hoping to collect enough materials to fill the void in the boulder in one go.

Soon, Akira Hatake, carrying a pile of emerald green crystals in his arms, slowly approached the boulder blocking the cave entrance.

"He...he...how can he have so much chakra!"

Ichikishima-hime, who was observing Hatake Akira from the side, stammered. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Hatake Akira's current chakra level was comparable to that of a tailed beast, and even exceeded it by a considerable margin.

"hateful!"

Glaring fiercely at Akira Hatake, Princess Ichikishima already knew the outcome of the test, and two little buns couldn't help but puff up on her loli face.

Just as Ichikishima-hime had predicted, with Hatake Akira's own chakra reserves and the added benefits of various equipment, he easily completed the second test.

"Princess Ichikishima, you're no good either."

The previously furious Tianxin Shenji now had a bright smile on her face. "That little guy actually passed the second test so quickly. Did you go easy on him?"

"Hmph! I can't be bothered with you."

Princess Ichikishima turned her head away, not wanting to see Princess Tashin's smug look, and instead reached out and wrapped her arm around Princess Tsuruzu's arm.

"Sister Tsuhime, you must teach Hatake Akira a lesson for me."

"I understand. Leave the rest to me."

Tuanjin nodded, then walked towards Hatake Akira, the massive natural energy within her body forming a visible fluctuation on her skin.

Without a word, Princess Tsurugi casually waved her hand, and Akira Hatake's body instantly stiffened.

He wanted to resist, but the powerful Sage Chakra perfectly countered Akira Hatake's current power system.

While it's true that Akira Hatake could break free from his confinement by paying a certain price, it's really unnecessary.

He came to Ryūji Cave to learn immortal arts, not to cause trouble. Hatake Akira clearly understood the priorities of the matter.

However, just as Princess Tsuru was about to make her next move, the White Snake Sage suddenly spoke up to stop her.

"Jin-hime, you don't need to continue with the third test you're in charge of."

"Yes, White Snake Immortal."

Although Princess Tsurugi had doubts, she obeyed the White Snake Sage's orders without uttering a single question.

For Princess Tsurugi, the White Snake Sage's orders were everything.

"why?"

However, just because Princess Tsurugi didn't ask doesn't mean that Akira Hatake won't ask, "White Snake Sage, you're not trying to renege on your promise, are you?"

"Scamming?"

The White Snake Sage glared fiercely at Akira Hatake, "I wouldn't stoop to doing something like that."

"But at your current level of power, you no longer need to undergo this kind of test. The only thing you need to worry about now is whether you can withstand the natural energy that I am injecting into you."

"injection?"

Akira Hatake was stunned for a moment, but before he could make a move, the White Snake Sage stretched out his neck, and his old woman's face transformed into that of a white phosphorus serpent.

Aiming at Akira Hatake's left neck, the White Snake Sage opened his blood-red maw and bit down.

Attacked, Akira Hatake instinctively wanted to fight back, but as soon as he raised his hand, he let out a bitter laugh.

Snakes truly live up to their reputation as cold-blooded animals; their way of doing things and handling affairs is extremely ruthless, showing no regard for the lives of others.

The White Snake Sage meant exactly what he said. The moment he bit Akira Hatake's neck, a surge of natural energy transformed into a seed and rushed into Akira's body.

After the injection was completed, the White Snake Immortal retracted her outstretched neck, and her body returned to its old woman form.

"If you can't turn into a stone statue by tomorrow, then I will naturally teach you the magic of Ryuchi Cave."

"Princess Tashin, Princess Ichikishima, Princess Takitsu, come back to my cave with me."

"Yes, White Snake Sage!"

The White Snake Sage ignored Akira Hatake, whose body was already partially petrified, and led his three trusted confidants away.

"You're being incredibly irresponsible!"

Akira Hatake shouted and tried to chase after him, but his petrified legs still restricted his movements.

Furthermore, Akira Hatake discovered that as his activity intensified, the natural energy injected into his body by the White Snake Sage became increasingly violent, thus accelerating the petrification of his body.

Helpless, Akira Hatake remained silent and could only immerse himself in a state of internal visualization, calmly resisting and integrating the natural energy that suddenly surged into his body.

Even so, Akira Hatake was unable to stop his body from continuing to petrify.

Soon, the lower half of Akira Hatake's body turned to stone, and the petrification continued to spread upwards.

At this rate, Akira Hatake had reason to believe that he would turn into a lifelike humanoid stone statue in less than ten minutes.

"No, we have to think of a way!"

Akira Hatake gritted his teeth, "At this rate, I won't even make it to tomorrow, let alone today!"

Chapter 291 Resurrection from the Dead, Flaws in the Immortal Techniques of Dragon Land Cave.

Natural energy, in essence, is completely opposite to chakra energy.

The method of refining chakra is not worth going into too much detail; it is the power born from the combination of spiritual power and physical cells.

Therefore, the amount of chakra is directly linked to spiritual power and life energy.

Simply put, chakra is a power that humans possess. Once extracted, it is completely harmless to the human body when stored within it.

But natural energy is different.

Natural energy is a kind of power that exists outside the world. If Akira Hatake's prediction is correct, this power should have existed in the ninja world before Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki descended upon it.
