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

Akira Hatake's plan is very ambitious, and naturally, it will take a long time to complete.

We're still in the planning stage; things need to be done step by step.

Akira Hatake's life was dull and boring while waiting for Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake to return from Mount Myōboku.

Might Guy would come to DaKa every day, making a ruckus and demanding that Hatake Akira transfer a breath of life energy to him before he would leave satisfied.

That little guy Uchiha Itachi also goes to the principal's office at the Ninja Academy to find Hatake Akira whenever he has free time.

Although he no longer had a lot of questions that were beyond his age to ponder, the fact that his children kept pestering him to learn his signature skills still annoyed Akira.

Unable to resist the persistent pestering, Akira Hatake finally had no choice but to bring out his prized possession.

That was the Body Flicker Technique training manual that Minato Namikaze gave to Akira Hatake before he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After obtaining it, Itachi Uchiha treasured it like a precious gem, and would come to Akira Hatake to ask him any questions he didn't understand.

As if accepting his fate, Akira Hatake took on the responsibilities of a master, teaching Itachi Uchiha some practical and powerful ninjutsu within the limits of what Itachi could handle.

During this period, Itachi Uchiha's strength steadily improved, and Might Guy did not lag behind either.

Looking at Might Guy's increasingly strong body, Akira Hatake suddenly couldn't help himself.

Having been confined to a wheelchair and pretending to be a "disabled person" for so long, Akira Hatake couldn't help but feel itchy, and his inner desire for battle was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

Finally, Akira Hatake chose a sunny day and called Might Guy over.

"Ming, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the allure of youth and would take the initiative to challenge me!"

Might Guy was still quite immature, but he was also very much looking forward to Hatake Akira's challenge.

Since they met, Might Guy and Akira Hatake have had very few duels, which has always bothered Might Guy, who craves a strong opponent.

Only by challenging stronger enemies can one truly understand oneself, identify one's shortcomings, and then make amends.

"Kai, what I mean is, I want you to unleash your full power."

Akira Hatake, fearing that Might Guy might not understand, then explained it to him very seriously again.

"While your condition when you opened the Seventh Gate was still very strong, it's still a bit... um... not enough for me now."

Although he phrased it somewhat tactfully, Might Guy still understood the meaning behind Hatake Akira's words.

Putting aside his usual carefree attitude, Might Guy looked at Akira Hatake with a very serious and earnest gaze.

"Ming, are you planning to make me activate the Eight Gates Formation?"

"Correct!"

Akira Hatake nodded. "Only when you open the Death Gate of the Eight Inner Gates will I feel like I'm fighting, instead of just being a sparring partner."

“Ming, it’s not that I disagree, but I can only use the Eight Gates Formation once in my life.”

"Even if it is used, it should not be used on one's closest friend. The purpose of the Eight Gates Formation is to protect!"

"So... I'm sorry, I can't agree."

After saying that, Might Guy turned to leave, but before he could take two steps, Akira Hatake's next words made him stop in his tracks.

"Kai, if I can guarantee that you won't die after activating the Eight Gates Formation, and that you won't suffer any aftereffects, will you agree to my request?"

Turning around abruptly, Might Guy's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Ming, are you serious?!"

"Of course it's true, I wouldn't joke about something like that."

Akira Hatake nodded, then swung out a purplish-red chakra chain and tied it to Might Guy.

"You've witnessed my abilities, and you know very well what they can bring you. With my abilities, you won't have any problems activating the Eight Gates Formation."

"Furthermore, I have other backup plans that will allow you to open the Eight Gates Formation without any hesitation!"

Akira Hatake's backup plan was simple: give Might Guy two pieces of equipment from the equipment shop.

With the Resurrection Armor and the Dominator's Armor as backup, Might Guy not only has an extra life, but also, according to the passive characteristics of the Dominator's Armor, he can continuously recover a large amount of health after leaving combat.

With these two pieces of equipment, it's absolutely certain that Might Guy will survive after activating the Eight Gates Formation.

"it is good!"

Matt Kai agreed, "Since you've given such a guarantee, then it's no longer difficult for me to unleash my ultimate youth ahead of time!"

"Youth is about constantly accepting challenges, so I accept your conditions!"

Might Guy made his signature move toward Akira Hatake, then his fighting spirit surged, and his words were full of urgency.

"Ming, when do we start?"

"Now you can."

Akira Hatake stood up from his wheelchair, his previously emaciated body instantly returning to normal, the explosive power transmitting from the cellular level to his entire body.

Although he's not at his peak yet, Akira Hatake can still guarantee that even if Madara Uchiha comes, he'll still fight him without hesitation!

However, Akira Hatake estimated that after the battle with Might Guy who had opened the Eight Gates Formation, the loss of life energy in his body would be quite exaggerated.

While it won't affect the speed and quality of Akira Hatake's vital signs evolution, he'll inevitably feel uncomfortable for a while.

But it's not without its benefits.

If the battle with Might Guy lasts long enough, then Akira Hatake can rely on the "Holy Grail" to return to the Six Paths level of life force.

Being able to experience the feeling of standing on a cloud once again can not only accelerate the evolution of Akira Hatake's vital signs, but also deepen his understanding of the characteristics of the Six Paths level.

In comparison, the price that Akira Hatake paid becomes negligible, and it's perfectly fine for him to indulge in a little bit of recklessness now and then.

Having temporarily returned to his current peak condition, Akira Hatake's eyes also changed accordingly.

The Space-Time Sharingan reappeared in his eye socket, and extremely powerful spatial fluctuations were generated from his eyeballs, causing the surrounding space to tremble and crack like spiderwebs.

"This……"

Matt Kai was secretly alarmed, "Could it be that mere aura caused cracks in the surrounding space?"

Taking a deep breath, Might Guy managed to calm himself down, and his fighting spirit soared into the sky.

"Youth is about facing different challenges, and my youth will never give up!"

Seeing Might Guy's surging fighting spirit, Akira Hatake was naturally pleased.

The stronger Might Guy is, the more excited he will be when the battle begins, and the better the exercise will be.

Without any apparent movement from Akira Hatake, the two were instantly transported to a desert far from the Land of Fire.

Might Guy was already aware of Akira Hatake's extremely powerful spatial abilities.

The scene of instantaneous spatial transformation did not stir his emotions; on the contrary, it fueled Might Guy's competitive spirit.

"Kai, what's the battlefield like?"

“Great, it’s open, barren, and without any unnecessary obstacles, which is perfect for me to perform.”

Might Guy looked around and then commented, expressing great satisfaction with the battleground chosen by Akira Hatake.

"That's good. Do we still need to warm up?"

"No need, let's get started!"

Might Guy, burning with fighting spirit, declared, "My ultimate youth, let it bloom!"

As he spoke, Might Guy raised his thumb and pressed it sharply against his heart. A massive amount of chakra began to converge on the Death Gate point in his heart, instantly reopening that acupoint.

boom!

An aura no less powerful than that of Akira Hatake, and perhaps even slightly stronger, rose from Might Guy, stirring up a cloud of dust beneath his feet.

"Eight Gates Formation, open!!!"

With a furious roar, Might Guy was engulfed in crimson steam, and his aura surged once more, instantly suppressing the aura emanating from Hatake Akira.

At this moment, Might Guy's blood began to burn, and the explosive power spread throughout his body under the powerful push of his heart, turning his skin into a lava-like form.

His watermelon-shaped haircut stood up, and his black hair turned blood red, instantly transforming Might Guy's usually honest and simple image.

He seemed like a god of war, or a lord from hell, watching Akira Hatake with predatory eyes!

"This is Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation!"

Akira Hatake felt a surge of emotion, his blood boiling as he recalled the excitement and joy Madara Uchiha felt when facing Might Guy.

Of all the opponents Akira Hatake faced, none could put him under such pressure.

Nagato Uzumaki was no good, Obito Uchiha was no good, and none of his defeated subordinates were good enough!

"Come on, Kai, let me see just how amazing your ultimate youth really is!"

"You'll find out, Ming!!!"

Boom!

With a loud bang, Might Guy stomped a huge crater in the ground and before the sound could even travel, he had already darted in front of Akira Hatake.

The straightforward straight punch, devoid of any fancy moves, magnified in Akira Hatake's eyes. The power it contained was devastating; anyone below the Six Paths level who took this punch head-on would either die or be on the verge of death.

This shows just how powerful that punch was, and Might Guy truly demonstrated what it means to overcome all obstacles with sheer force!

Moreover, as the fist grew larger and larger in his field of vision, Akira Hatake understood the predicament Madara Uchiha was facing at that time.

You want to fight with physical skills...

That's because we really can't beat them, and we can't react in time.

Let's fight with other forces...

Some victories are not honorable, and they prevent one from fully experiencing the joy of a clash between strong opponents.

In the instant that Akira Hatake hesitated, Might Guy's fist arrived.

boom!

A loud thud echoed as Hatake Akira was sent flying by a punch, the speed so great that sparks flew as he rubbed against the air.

Akira Hatake, who flew backward like a meteor, was caught again by Might Guy in the next instant at a speed comparable to the speed of light, and he circled behind Akira Hatake without anyone noticing.

Whip the leg!

Still straightforward and possessing extreme speed and power, Might Guy has abandoned fighting techniques and switched to the most direct fighting style.

Although it may seem like child's play, this is the power of the Eight Gates Formation, which has the absolute dominance to turn the rotten into the miraculous!
