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

"Teacher, you and your wife should each have one of these two magical artifacts, and it's best to wear them close to your body, as they can save your lives in critical moments."

Minato Namikaze, his hands trembling slightly, accepted the two resurrection armors handed to him by Akira Hatake, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He felt that the only two right things he had ever done in his life were marrying Kushina Uzumaki and taking Akira Hatake as his apprentice.

"Thank you, Ming!"

Minato Namikaze expressed his sincere gratitude, his eyes slightly red.

He knew that Akira Hatake had many little-known secrets, and he had thought about exploring them before, but gradually he lost that interest.

Everyone has secrets!

As long as Akira Hatake continues to care about Konoha, Minato Namikaze is willing to turn a blind eye.

Today, Minato Namikaze also received the most precious gift of his life.

Life-saving items are invaluable treasures in any world, and the fact that Akira Hatake gave away two of them at once shows how much he values ​​Minato Namikaze.

"Teacher, we're on the same side, please don't do this!"

Akira Hatake couldn't stand Minato Namikaze's sentimental act and waved his hands repeatedly, signaling Minato to stop acting like a little girl.

"Teacher, they are just small things, you don't need to worry about them."

"This is still a small thing?!" Minato Namikaze glared at Akira Hatake. "If something that can save your life is considered a small thing, then there's nothing good in the world."

"Hehe, now that the business is done, I'm off."

After achieving his goal, Akira Hatake decided to make a quick getaway.

“Go ahead.” Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile.

"Oh, right!" Akira Hatake suddenly turned around, "Don't look for me unless it's important, I need to take a good rest during this month or so."

After saying that, Akira Hatake left the bewildered Minato Namikaze and departed from the Hokage's office.

Ask for leave.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, today has been a chaotic day because someone in my neighborhood has had a sexual encounter...

I haven't settled down yet, so I can only use my phone to type out a leave request.

May all my fellow book lovers be free from the virus and enjoy good health, able to come and go as they please.

I've brought my laptop with me; updates should resume tomorrow if nothing unexpected happens.

Chapter 295 Problem Child Uchiha Itachi.

"master!"

Uchiha Itachi pushed open the door to the principal's office, walked up to Hatake Akira, and bowed respectfully.

"Itachi, you've come."

Akira Hatake greeted Itachi Uchiha, "How's the training going lately?"

"I have never relaxed following the training methods my master taught me."

Itachi Uchiha's little face was serious, and his grown-up appearance was quite amusing.

"Come on, let me test you."

Akira Hatake chuckled and casually handed his handwritten exam paper to Itachi Uchiha.

The exam content was very simple, mostly consisting of common knowledge and principles about ninjutsu training, with some questions about human nature interspersed among them.

Itachi Uchiha took the test paper handed to him by Akira Hatake, glanced at it briefly, and then felt confident.

Taking the pen, Itachi Uchiha hunched over his desk and wrote furiously. In less than half an hour, Itachi had finished his answer.

"Master, please take a look."

Respectfully handing the exam paper back to Akira Hatake, Itachi Uchiha stepped back and waited quietly for Akira to review it.

Did you answer the questions correctly?

Akira Hatake, who was drinking tea, made a sarcastic remark, but Itachi Uchiha took it seriously.

"Master, I answered every question very carefully!"

"You're just too calm and collected; you don't have the liveliness and exuberance that someone your age should have."

Akira Hatake offered a brief comment and then ignored Itachi Uchiha, whose face was flushed slightly.

Picking up the vermilion pen on the table, Akira Hatake began grading the exam papers.

It must be said that Itachi Uchiha's theory was very solid. Although the questions posed by Akira Hatake were not particularly profound, the knowledge points involved were at a level that only Chunin could access.

Nodding in approval, Itachi Uchiha did not disappoint Akira Hatake in this regard, answering all the questions correctly.

However, when he saw the test questions about human nature, Akira Hatake couldn't help but frown.

Uchiha Itachi is still too mature for his age.

While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, the more mature a person is, the more insightful they become when looking at issues.

This caused Itachi Uchiha to face reality prematurely and lose his childlike innocence too early.

"Itachi, tell me, what is your view on war?"

Putting down the exam paper, Akira Hatake posed a familiar question, wanting to see what different interpretation Itachi Uchiha would offer.

"War originates from the ugliness deep within the human heart, and no party that initiates a war can be called righteous."

"No matter how many reasons we find, war is the wanton trampling of the lives and dignity of others with violence, and we should do our best to eliminate war."

With just two sentences, Itachi Uchiha's current mental state was revealed.

Akira Hatake heard and saw clearly that Itachi Uchiha was not a bad person at heart; he was just too idealistic when considering problems.

The principle he's talking about is known to everyone, so why are so many people so keen on starting wars?

Ultimately, it is the will of those in power that is at play.

The problem is that everyone wants to be in a position of power, and those in power also want to dominate their territory.

Therefore, the war in the ninja world will never end, nor will it ever disappear.

Even without large-scale wars, war will still exist in the world in another form.

As long as there are people, war will never stop; that is the truth.

"How can we eliminate war?" Akira Hatake asked again.

"I...haven't decided yet," Itachi Uchiha answered frankly; he truly hadn't made up his mind yet.

Shaking his head, Akira Hatake looked Itachi Uchiha over again and patted his somewhat thin shoulder.

"Itachi, I remember saying before that this is not a problem you should be thinking about right now."

"Master, I...I know I was wrong."

"Sigh..." Akira Hatake sighed, "It's just your nature, what wrong could you possibly have done?"

Akira Hatake is right. Itachi Uchiha's mindset has been like this since he was a child, otherwise there wouldn't have been the massacre of the Uchiha clan in the original timeline.

When your thoughts are too heavy and you consider too many things, you may overlook the simplest and most effective solutions to problems.

"Itachi, if you want to solve the problem, you must see the essence of the problem."

"Then what is the essence of war?"

"It's plunder! It's human nature's worst flaws!"

Akira Hatake looked up at the window and said, "Your previous thoughts were like clouds in the sky that are detached from worldly affairs; you can see them but you can't truly understand them."

"That's true. You haven't experienced war, so it's understandable that many of your ideas are rather naive."

"But Master, I have come to understand the true nature of war!"

Itachi Uchiha rarely refuted Akira Hatake, which made the latter slightly stunned.

Itachi Uchiha's relationship with Akira Hatake is very similar to that of Jiraiya and his three disciples.

Subtle differences in philosophy led to differing opinions on a certain matter, ultimately causing the master and student to become enemies.

Perhaps this is why, in the world of Naruto, many master-disciple relationships turn into bitter enmity, escalating into tragedies of master-killing or disciple-killing.

Akira Hatake's initial intention in taking Uchiha Itachi as his disciple was to correct Itachi's values ​​and mold him into the ideal image he envisioned while Itachi was still young and his mind was not yet mature.

But now it seems...

Akira Hatake still had many oversights.

"Itachi, you have indeed seen the true nature of war, but what can you do about it?"

“Master, there will always be a way!” Itachi Uchiha shook his head. “I just haven’t figured it out yet.”

"That's not a reason."

Hatake Akira glared at Uchiha Itachi. "This isn't something you haven't thought through; it's that you're thinking about it too soon!"

"Am I thinking too soon?"

"Otherwise what?" Hatake Akira reached out and flicked Uchiha Itachi's forehead. "You're so young and yet so precocious. You haven't even grown your hair yet and your knowledge isn't even as tall as a person, and you're already spouting nonsense."

"Master, this isn't just idle speculation!"

Uchiha Itachi clutched his forehead in pain, but still disagreed with Hatake Akira's explanation.

"You brat!" Hatake glared at the somewhat stubborn Uchiha Itachi again. "Fine, fine, it's better to guide than to suppress. I'll straighten you out completely today!"

"I ask you, wars are caused by people, so if we want to end wars, shouldn't we eliminate those who create them?"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi was speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to answer.

But Akira Hatake didn't continue speaking. Instead, he stared intently at Itachi Uchiha, quietly waiting for him to continue.

After a long while, Itachi Uchiha had an idea in mind.

"We can punish only the ringleaders and sacrifice a number of people for the sake of peace."
