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

"I know Obito's feelings, but I haven't made up my mind yet..."

"What's there to think about?"

Akira Hatake reached out and touched Rin Nohara's beautiful hair, just like a friendly older brother next door. "Rin, delve into your own heart and feel it deeply, and you will know the answer."

"Go deep into your own heart?"

Nohara Rin paused for a moment, then lowered her head again, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

To be honest, when Rin Nohara first fell in love, Kakashi was the first person she liked.

Because of Kakashi's talent, because of Kakashi's appearance, and even more so because of Kakashi's outstanding performance.

Like most young girls who are still in school, they are initially attracted to the boys in their class who have good grades.

Of course, handsome male classmates are also among their criteria for choosing a partner.

Kakashi undoubtedly possesses all these qualities, so it's no wonder that Rin Nohara was attracted to him.

However, Kakashi was focused on Akira Hatake at the time, and he graduated very early, so he didn't give Rin Nohara any opportunity to spend time with him.

Gradually, Akira Hatake, Kakashi's twin brother, came into Rin Nohara's sight.

When they were at the Ninja Academy, Akira Hatake looked exactly like Kakashi, so his looks were naturally not bad either.

However, his lazy nature and mediocre grades made him unpopular with many girls.

However, once you spend enough time with Akira Hatake, it's not hard to discover his inner strengths.

Akira Hatake is steady in his work, has a humorous and generous personality, and considers things thoroughly. His inherent mature temperament gradually attracts Rin Nohara.

At the same time, Nohara Rin also found herself in a difficult choice.

Should I like Akira Hatake or Kakashi?

Unable to make up her mind, Nohara Rin wavered, and her bond with the two brothers deepened.

Until... Obito Uchiha intervened, making Rin Nohara's feelings even more complicated.

Sometimes even Rin Nohara couldn't tell who she liked more.

When they were still in the Ninja Academy, Obito Uchiha didn't hold much of Rin Nohara's heart, because apart from his family background, Obito was practically a complete failure in every other aspect.

Neither his academic achievements nor his personality made Obito Uchiha a likable person.

The only redeeming quality might be Obito Uchiha's somewhat presentable appearance...

It can only be said that Rin Nohara did not dislike Obito Uchiha, and was quite happy to be friends with him.

This isn't the behavior of a manipulative woman; it's just that Nohara Rin can't refuse the kindness shown to her by others.

It wasn't until the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War that Obito Uchiha's performance elevated his status in Rin Nohara's heart.

It was only when Obito Uchiha risked his life to save her that Rin Nohara realized that there was someone in the world who loved her so much that he was willing to give up his life.

Unfortunately, before Nohara Rin could confront her own feelings, she died due to Hatake Akira's carelessness, caused by Uchiha Madara's covert machinations.

Fortunately, Rin Nohara has been resurrected, and with Akira Hatake pointing out her weaknesses, she has finally begun to confront her own heart.

Was Obito just a backup option, or someone she truly deserved to love?

Nohara Rin couldn't help but ask herself, and after considering all the things that had happened in the past, she quickly found the answer.

Looking up again, a relieved smile appeared on Nohara Rin's face as she looked intently at Hatake Akira.

"Ming, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?" Akira Hatake tilted his head. "Didn't you already thank me when I resurrected you?"

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Nohara Rin shook her head. "I meant thank you for making me face my own heart."

"I see..." Akira Hatake opportunely revealed a gossipy look, "Have you thought it through?"

“Yes.” Nohara Rin nodded emphatically, then smiled with relief, “I understand what I really want.”

"That's good."

Akira Hatake was happy for Rin Nohara and that silly boy Obito Uchiha. "Rin, you rest here for a while. When the time is right, I'll take you to see that guy Obito."

"Ok!"

Nohara Rin nodded again, watching Hatake Akira leave in his wheelchair.

After leaving the laboratory where Nohara Rin was, Akira Hatake found Orochimaru, who was busy in another laboratory, after going through many twists and turns.

"Orochimaru, I'm warning you, Rin Nohara has finally been resurrected, you're not allowed to do any random experiments on her."

"how come."

Orochimaru shook his head decisively. "Besides, there's nothing about Nohara Rin that's worth my research. Why should I waste my time?"

"It better be this way."

Akira Hatake was still a little worried. "Rin Nohara is very important to me. I need to take good care of her while I'm not around."

"Don't worry, she won't be bored here."

"It's good that you know what's going on. I'm leaving."

After Nohara Rin was resurrected and gave Orochimaru some instructions, Hatake Akira had no reason to stay there any longer.

With a turn of his wheelchair, Akira Hatake disappeared from Orochimaru's sight.

……

"teacher."

After leaving Orochimaru, Akira Hatake rushed to the Hokage Building without stopping.

"Ming, you've arrived."

Minato Namikaze looked up. "I sensed someone reinforced the village's defensive seal barrier. Was that you?"

"it's me."

Hatake knew that the sealing barrier he had set up using Sage Mode couldn't be hidden from Minato Namikaze, so when Minato asked, he immediately nodded in admission.

"Are you guarding against someone?"

Minato Namikaze was still somewhat curious, because he had received a report from the sealing team that the sealing barrier set up by Akira Hatake was very powerful, more powerful than ever before.

"You could say that."

Akira Hatake slowly explained the reasons behind his actions, and Minato Namikaze listened with nods of approval.

"So, you've already mastered immortal techniques?"

"We've only completed one-third of the work," Akira Hatake said with a regretful expression. "After dealing with things in the village, I still have to go to Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest."

Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.

Minato Namikaze cautioned Akira Hatake, "One Sacred Technique from one Holy Land is enough. I feel that combining the power of three to create an even more powerful Sacred Technique is still too difficult..."

"No matter how difficult it is, I have to try. After all, the enemies we will face in the future can only be harmed by immortal techniques."

“I see…” Minato Namikaze lowered his head in thought. “It seems I’ll have to make time to visit Mount Myōboku.”

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Akira Hatake seemed to remember something and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"Ming, what are you laughing at?" Minato Namikaze asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting."

"I see..." Minato Namikaze smiled as well, then changed the subject, "Akira, you came to see me, there must be something else, right?"

“There are indeed other matters.” Akira Hatake nodded. “Rin Nohara has been resurrected by Orochimaru.”

"Resurrected?"

"Yes! Just now, Nohara Rin was resurrected."

"In that case... Obito should be able to see the error of his ways." Minato Namikaze sighed. "Fate really is a cruel mistress!"

"indeed so."

Akira Hatake did not refute, but looked at Minato Namikaze solemnly, "Sensei, even if we revive Rin Nohara, we cannot take the matter of Kushina's wife lightly."

"I know that, don't worry."

Mentioning Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze also became serious, "I have arranged everything. No matter how many people Obito gathers to attack Konoha, Kushina's safety can be guaranteed."

“But that’s not what I’m most worried about.” Akira Hatake’s gaze was deep. “Master, we have to be wary of that old guy, Hiruzen Sarutobi.”

"The Third Hokage? I don't think he would do anything to betray the village."

"Who can say for sure about this?"

Akira Hatake objected, “Teacher, don’t forget that since you took office, the many reforms you have implemented have affected too many people’s interests. I think many people would be happy if something unexpected happened to you.”

“This…” Minato Namikaze also realized something, and his face turned grim. “If they really jump out when Kushina is giving birth, I won’t be polite!”

"I believe the teacher won't go easy on me, but Orochimaru once pleaded with me for mercy."

Akira Hatake is a very reliable partner. He always tries his best to fulfill the promises he makes to others.

He still remembered Orochimaru's previous request, and Akira Hatake was also considering whether to give Hiruzen Sarutobi a more dignified death.

"Orochimaru? What's he up to now?"

"Orochimaru hides his emotions very well. Perhaps he foresaw some of the paths Hiruzen Sarutobi would take in the future. He once begged us to give Hiruzen Sarutobi a dignified death."

Is it respectable?

Minato Namikaze murmured to himself, having already made up his mind, "Whether or not he can live with dignity is a choice for the Third Hokage himself. If he does something that betrays the village, even if he wants dignity, I may not be able to give him any!"

Minato Namikaze never lets you down in crucial moments.

Although he has a gentle personality, he is never ambiguous on matters of principle, and once he makes a decision, he will carry it out with unwavering determination.

"At that time, I think it would be better to hand Hiruzen Sarutobi over to Orochimaru to deal with."

"Should we hand it over to Orochimaru...?" After thinking for a moment, Minato Namikaze nodded. "I agree. Let's do as Orochimaru requests."

"If the Third Hokage does anything he shouldn't have, Orochimaru will handle it."

"Thank you, teacher. I will pass that on to Orochimaru." Akira Hatake thanked him and then handed the two resurrection armors to Minato Namikaze.
