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

Akira Hatake wasn't in a hurry, nor did he try to persuade Kushina Uzumaki any further. He simply strolled around the living room, looking for some snacks.

"Akira, are you sure there won't be any problems after Naruto gets the Sharingan transplanted?"

Swallowing the nut in his mouth, Akira Hatake answered Kushina Uzumaki's question, "My master's wife will be fine."

"Orochimaru's cloning technology is already very advanced, and the Sharingan that Naruto transplanted was cultivated based on Naruto's bloodline, so there will be no rejection reaction after the transplant."

"Don't worry, Master's wife. My teacher and I would never joke about Naruto's health."

"So...when are we going?"

Kushina Uzumaki made her decision, glanced at Naruto sleeping soundly in her arms, and then looked up at Akira Hatake.

"There's no time like the present, so let's leave today."

"Okay, let's go."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and followed Akira Hatake into a circular spatial passage. The two adults and one child disappeared from the spot in an instant.

……

Orochimaru's secret experimental base.

With the strong support of Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru is definitely the happiest person in the ninja world right now.

He doesn't need to worry about anything; he can just immerse himself in experiments and do research that he enjoys.

For Orochimaru, this was like living in paradise.

Of course, Orochimaru would have been even happier without the constraints of Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze.

However, just as Orochimaru was happily conducting his research, Akira Hatake appeared beside him with Kushina Uzumaki.

"Ming, it's been a long time."

Orochimaru greeted them with a smile, then turned his gaze to Kushina and Naruto.

"Oh, and Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto too, it's nice to meet you."

Although Orochimaru greeted her with a smile, his sinister smile still seemed strange to Kushina Uzumaki. She instinctively took a step back and looked at Orochimaru with great vigilance.

Orochimaru smiled indifferently, shifted his gaze from the mother and son, and looked back at Akira Hatake, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Akira, it seems you've convinced Kushina and Minato."

"It doesn't matter whether you persuade them or not."

Akira Hatake shook his head. "How are your preparations going here?"

"I've been prepared for a long time. I even prepared clones of the Uchiha brothers Itachi and Sasuke."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're only one step away from my god-making plan..."

“I warn you, you cannot take that step without my permission.”

Akira Hatake warned Orochimaru with a serious expression, reminding him that he had not forgotten his promise to Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

If the reincarnation chakra of Indra and Ashura were used before the bet was fulfilled, Hagoromo Otsutsuki would definitely have to come out of the Pure Land and fight Akira Hatake to the death.

"I know, of course I know."

Orochimaru nodded repeatedly. "I'm just reminding you. You need to let me know as soon as it's ready."

"Of course."

Akira Hatake didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Orochimaru about trivial matters, so he went straight to the point.

"Orochimaru, where are the eyes you trained for Naruto? I want to see them."

"Okay, come with me."

Orochimaru led the way, with Akira Hatake and Kushina Uzumaki carrying Naruto Uzumaki following behind.

After passing through the long corridor, the atmosphere in the test base suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying.

Nursery tanks of various sizes are neatly arranged on both sides of the passageway, and the human bodies being nurtured inside are clearly visible.

Of course, in addition to the clones, the bodies of some other animals were also immersed in the culture tank, and Akira Hatake even saw some human characteristics in them.

"Orochimaru, what exactly is being cultivated in that culture tank of yours?"

Akira Hatake couldn't hold back any longer and pointed to a culture tank not far ahead, which contained a half-human, half-snake monster.

"It's just a failed product; it'll be disposed of in a few days."

Orochimaru replied indifferently and continued leading the two forward.

"What are you researching now?"

Akira Hatake persisted in pressing the matter, and he also began to have some guesses in his mind: could Orochimaru be...?

"We're just studying the Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave."

As expected, Orochimaru's answer confirmed Akira Hatake's guess; he felt that the half-human, half-snake monster in the cultivation tank was not simple.

However, seeing that Orochimaru was unwilling to say more, Akira Hatake did not ask any further questions.

It's obvious without even asking that Orochimaru's experiment was a complete failure, and a blatant one at that, yielding absolutely no results.

Otherwise, given Orochimaru's penchant for showing off his research achievements, he would undoubtedly boast about them to Akira Hatake whenever he made a breakthrough.

Instead of glossing over one's research findings as is the case today...

Soon, led by Orochimaru, the two entered a dissection room, where culture jars contained human or animal organs.

It was even more terrifying and eerie than when we were in the passageway.

However, Orochimaru acted as if nothing had happened, turning to look at Naruto Uzumaki in Kushina's arms.

"Give Naruto to me, and I'll transplant his eyes right away."

Kushina Uzumaki didn't react, but instead glanced at Akira Hatake beside her.

"Don't worry, Master's wife, Orochimaru will be fine."

With Akira Hatake's endorsement, Kushina Uzumaki finally felt relieved and handed Naruto over to Orochimaru.

However, she wasn't completely at ease. After handing Naruto over to Orochimaru, Kushina followed him everywhere, fearing that Orochimaru might do something to harm Naruto.

It's no wonder Kushina Uzumaki was so nervous; the environment here was too eerie, which led her to assume that Orochimaru was a mad scientist.

Honestly, any psychologically normal person who comes to Orochimaru's laboratory, even if they aren't scared out of their wits, will think that Orochimaru is no good.

Helpless, in order to appease Kushina Uzumaki, Akira Hatake could only follow behind her in his wheelchair, monitoring Orochimaru's every move together with Kushina.

Orochimaru didn't care about this. He had long since become indifferent to the criticisms of others, and his heart was calm and undisturbed at this moment.

Having made all the preparations, Orochimaru gently placed Naruto Uzumaki on the operating table. Surprisingly, the young Naruto was not afraid and instead stared intently at Orochimaru with his eyes wide open.

"I'm going to start."

Orochimaru gave a reminder and used medical ninjutsu to make young Naruto faint, then picked up a small surgical knife.

Ten minutes later, Naruto's eye transplant surgery was completed, and his two bright blue eyes had turned into a jet black color.

Orochimaru's medical ninjutsu is very strong. After Naruto regained consciousness after the eye transplant, he neither cried nor made a fuss. He looked around at his surroundings with curiosity, seemingly without feeling anything.

"Okay, this minor surgery was a success, there are no problems."

Hearing Orochimaru say this, the tense Kushina Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softening slightly.

Kushina Uzumaki took Naruto from Orochimaru and carefully examined Naruto's physical condition.

Just as Orochimaru said, Naruto's body did not experience any rejection reaction, and the wound from the eye transplant had fully healed.

"Orochimaru, my master and I will be leaving now. If you have anything else to do, go to the Hokage's office and find Shikaku."

After leaving those words behind, Akira Hatake took Kushina Uzumaki and left Orochimaru's laboratory.

"Ha, how ruthless..."

Looking at the spot where the two had disappeared, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. "Since you've said that, I'll go apply for another research grant."

Having made up his mind, Orochimaru packed his things and left the laboratory, heading towards the Hokage Building.

Meanwhile, Akira Hatake returned home with Kushina Uzumaki and was overjoyed to see Naruto running around happily in the living room.

Without the Nine-Tails as a cheat code, but with the Sharingan, what will Naruto's future be like? Akira Hatake is very much looking forward to it!

Chapter 326 The Otsutsuki Clan on the Moon.

Akira Hatake has mostly dealt with the mess in the village.

The remaining minor issues are beyond Akira Hatake's control, even if he's anxious; they require time to resolve.

For example, the top combatants that Hatake Akira had designated, whether it was Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, or Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, would take another ten years or so to grow up.

These things can't be rushed; Akira Hatake can only wait patiently.

But during this waiting period, Akira Hatake also needed to find something to do, otherwise he would get bored if he was always idle.

However, the ninja world is too small now. If Hatake Akira makes a little trouble, the entire ninja world will be turned upside down.

Therefore, Akira Hatake set his sights on the moon.

"Those Hyuga clans outside the heavens... no, they don't acknowledge it, they still use Otsutsuki as their surname."

Looking up at the full moon in the sky, Akira Hatake was eager to try.

"Naruto has already been born, so Otsutsuki Toneri, who is about the same age as Naruto, should have been born long ago..."

"Since it's readily available, I naturally can't miss it."

"But Otsutsuki Toneri's eyes... well, I'll have to go see Orochimaru again."

With a snap of his fingers, a circular spatial passage appeared in front of Akira Hatake, and he disappeared into the passage while turning his wheelchair.

The scene shifts to a gloomy and terrifying laboratory where Orochimaru is conducting an experiment.

Akira Hatake didn't approach, nor did he bombard Orochimaru with questions. Instead, he sat quietly in his wheelchair, waiting a short distance away for Orochimaru's experiment to end.

Orochimaru didn't keep Akira Hatake waiting for long; he finished his experiment in about half an hour.

"Failed?"

Akira Hatake tilted his head. "This is the first time I've seen you make this face."
