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

"Yes!" The two Hatake brothers nodded in response.

"Sakumo Hatake!" Minato Namikaze continued to call out names and assign tasks.

"Lord Hokage, I'm here."

"You are responsible for leading the pre-selected ANBU ninjas to set up defenses around the delivery room, and strictly prohibit all unauthorized personnel from approaching."

"Yes!" Hatake Sakumo nodded.

"Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi!" Namikaze Minato looked at the two. "Your mission may be simple, but it is extremely important."

"When I dedicate a large number of troops to protect Kushina, there will inevitably be gaps in the village's defenses."

"In order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of any opportunity, I need you to lead the ninjas of your respective clans, as well as all the ninjas of the Konoha Police Force, to jointly protect the safety of the village!"

"Yes!" Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga exchanged a glance and nodded firmly.

"Nara Shikaku." Finally, Minato Namikaze looked at Nara Shikaku, who had recently been promoted to assistant to the Hokage.

"Lord Hokage, please give your orders."

Nara Shikaku bowed slightly to Namikaze Minato, surprised that he had been singled out by Minato.

"Shikaku, your wisdom is evident to all, your ability to command battles and analyze strategies is outstanding, and your loyalty to the village is beyond doubt."

"Therefore, I will grant you a special power."

Minato Namikaze said solemnly, “When I’m not around, you will be able to command the Konoha Anbu, the Konoha Police Force, the Konoha Garrison Force, the Konoha Sealing Team, and my Hokage Guard at the same time.”

"This……"

Nara Shikaku was completely stunned; he hadn't expected Minato Namikaze to suddenly grant him such great power.

"What, no confidence?" Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow.

"I have confidence!" With a determined heart, Nara Shikaku made a solemn pledge: "Please rest assured, Hokage, as long as I, Nara Shikaku, am here, I will ensure that the village will not suffer any harm."

"Whether it comes from the outside or the inside!"

Seeing that Nara Shikaku had made a solemn pledge, Namikaze Minato finally smiled.

Patting Nara Shikaku on the shoulder, Minato Namikaze earnestly advised, "Shikaku, I trust you, but you must not betray my trust."

Nara Shikaku's expression hardened; he had already understood the subtext of Namikaze Minato's words.

This is to warn Nara Shikaku against Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"Don't worry, Hokage, there won't be any problems," Nara Shikaku assured him again. "If anyone poses a threat to the safety of the village, no matter who it is, I will not hesitate to take action."

"I can rest assured that."

Minato Namikaze withdrew his hand, turned his back to the group, and said, "Akira Hatake and Kakashi Hatake, stay here. The rest of you, go and carry out your missions!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sounds of people using the Body Flicker Technique were incessant, and soon only the three of them remained in the Hokage's office.

"bright."

Minato Namikaze's voice was somewhat deep, "The Third Hokage can no longer restrain himself..."

"Then let's do it." Akira Hatake wasn't surprised that Hiruzen Sarutobi would make this choice, and his reply was frighteningly calm.

“I know, but I still feel very uncomfortable.” Minato Namikaze turned his head, his expression pained and conflicted. “No matter what, the Third Hokage was one of the mentors on my life's journey, but when I reached his position, I realized that everything had changed…”

"Power corrupts, age weakens—these are problems everyone must face," Akira Hatake's answer hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, these are all problems we have to face."

Minato Namikaze repeated himself, his gaze sweeping over the two brothers before finally settling on Akira Hatake. "Akira, if that day ever comes for me, please don't hold back."

"Teacher, it's too early for you to say these things now."

Akira Hatake didn't respond, but immediately changed the subject, "Teacher, there's less than half a day until Kushina's wife gives birth, we need to set off."

"You're still as cunning as ever."

Minato Namikaze shook his head and chuckled, then became serious. "Let's set off then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Akira Hatake's eyes changed, and a unique gear-shaped pattern was reflected in his pupils.

With a reach out, the spatial barrier in front of the three was immediately compressed and shortened, and with just one step, the three arrived at their destination.

Chapter 298 Kakashi vs. Obito Uchiha (Part 1)

The people of Konoha were on high alert, and the Chunin of Akatsuki were also eager to fight.

Since Nagato Uzumaki's death, the Akatsuki organization is now completely dominated by Obito Uchiha.

Konan, thrust into the spotlight, became a complete puppet. Without Nagato's support, she could only be manipulated by Obito Uchiha.

Even though the Akatsuki organization was separated from Nagato Uzumaki, they still had the intelligence provided by White Zetsu and Obito Uchiha's current intimidating identity.

The Akatsuki organization still managed to recruit a considerable number of members.

Needless to say, Kakuzu is still in charge of the Akatsuki's money bag. However, his partner Hidan is still not up to par and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Sasori of the Red Sand, the culprit who instigated the Third Shinobi World War, is now wearing the Akatsuki uniform with its black background and auspicious clouds, and is tirelessly researching the art of eternity.

Although Juzo Biwa was severely injured by Might Dai's kick after he opened the Eight Gates, his strength was still considered decent in the ninja world.

Only a few Akatsuki members have made a name for themselves in the ninja world, but when some of the Akatsuki's stragglers come together, they can form a considerable force.

And don't forget the White Zetsu's spore clones; they can not only gather intelligence, but also serve as an army when necessary.

White Zetsu has accumulated a considerable number of spore clones over the years; even if they are just for show, there are still over a thousand of them.

This time, all of White Zetsu's spore clones were deployed, attempting to infiltrate Konoha while the rest of the Akatsuki were attacking the village.

It can be said that Obito Uchiha gathered almost all the forces of the Akatsuki organization, intending to launch a full-scale attack on Konoha while Kushina Uzumaki was giving birth.

It smacks of a desperate gamble, but if we don't do it, we might not have a better opportunity in the future.

"Final check!"

Konan, who was being controlled by Obito Uchiha, gave the order, and all the Akatsuki members present bowed their heads and carefully checked their ninja tool bags again.

"No problem."

After the Akatsuki members finished their inspection, they responded with a nod. Konan nodded and then looked at Obito Uchiha.

"It's time to go."

“Okay!” Obito Uchiha nodded, and his eyes then transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

A vortex-like spatial fluctuation came, sucking the Akatsuki members, who were standing in neat rows, into his Kamui dimension.

The Akatsuki's surprise attack has officially begun!

……

Outside Kushina Uzumaki's delivery room in Konoha.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Akira Hatake and Kakashi behind him were faithfully guarding him, while their teacher, Minato Namikaze, had already entered the delivery room to help Kushina Uzumaki stabilize the Four Symbols Seal within her body.

That's right, Kushina Uzumaki's seal is the Four Symbols Seal, not the Eight Trigrams Seal.

Actually, the Eight Trigrams Seal was developed by Minato Namikaze.

Although it is just a sealing technique formed by superimposing two Four Symbols Seals, its sealing power far exceeds that of the Four Symbols Seal.

However, on the other hand, the Four Symbols Seal within Kushina Uzumaki's body is actually no less powerful than Minato Namikaze's Eight Trigrams Seal.

It should be noted that the Four Symbols Seal within Kushina Uzumaki was created by Mito Uzumaki. This woman's mastery of sealing techniques is so strong that even Kushina Uzumaki herself might not be able to match it.

The power of a sealing technique depends not only on the type of sealing technique, but also on who casts it.

Clearly, Mito Uzumaki has taken both of these points into account.

Even so, the powerful Four Symbols Seal within Kushina Uzumaki was significantly weakened due to the birthing process.

If it weren't for Minato Namikaze constantly reinforcing the seal within Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails within her might have broken free by now.

"Ah...ah...ah...!"

Kushina Uzumaki's screams of pain echoed far and wide, causing Akira Hatake and Kakashi, who were on guard outside, to show worried expressions.

"Brother, Master's wife... she should be alright, right?"

"Absolutely no problem."

Akira Hatake comforted Kakashi, saying, "Given your wife's constitution, giving birth is really a very easy thing."

"And besides, this isn't something you should be concerned about."

Looking at Kakashi behind him, "If nothing unexpected happens..." As if sensing something, Akira Hatake turned to look at the distance, "Heh, what I said came true, the unexpected happened as expected."

As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial ripple appeared in the direction where Akira Hatake's gaze was directed, followed by a vortex-shaped spatial fluctuation.

"It's finally here."

Akira Hatake pointed at Obito Uchiha, who had already emerged from the Kamui dimension, and said, "Kakashi, you'll keep Obito occupied for now. I need to wait for the real mastermind; I can't make a move yet."

"I know, brother."

Kakashi nodded, gripping the Snowless Sword tucked at his waist with one hand, and stared ahead warily.

After Obito Uchiha emerged from the Kamui dimension, the rest of the Akatsuki members filed out and stood behind him.

"You proceed according to the plan. I'll take care of the Konoha twins."

Obito Uchiha waved his hand, and the Akatsuki members behind him scattered, each choosing their own opponent according to the tasks assigned beforehand.

Their goal was simple: to eliminate the surrounding Konoha ninja as quickly as possible to buy time for Obito Uchiha.

As for Obito Uchiha, his task was naturally to extract the Nine-Tails from Kushina Uzumaki and then summon it to Konoha Village.

Seeing the Akatsuki members disperse, Akira Hatake and Kakashi did not make any rash moves, but instead kept a close eye on Obito Uchiha, who was getting closer and closer to them.

Obito Uchiha, in his intangible state, was not afraid of the two at all. If Akira Hatake hadn't become a "cripple," Obito might have been wary, but now...

"I never imagined that Akira Hatake, one of the Konoha Twins, would turn into such a horrible sight."

The face hidden behind the mask made it impossible to discern Obito Uchiha's specific expression, but his rather lighthearted tone revealed that he was gloating.
