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

At the Root base, a Root ninja wearing an animal mask knelt on one knee, reporting respectfully to Shimura Danzo.

"Hmm, what's the reaction from the third generation?"

"Lord Danzo, the Third Hokage did not take any measures, but he spent about an hour at Konoha Hospital this morning."

"Ha, a futile struggle!" Shimura Danzo's lips curled into a smile, which seemed to be getting stronger.

"Hahaha...!" Soon, the smile turned into maniacal laughter. "Hiruzen, I'd like to see how you plan to play your hand now that you've lost Sakumo Hatake!"

In Shimura Danzo's view, without Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Hiruzen's only remaining cards to play were his three disciples.

Tsunade was clearly unsuitable, and although Jiraiya possessed all the necessary qualities, his personality and ambition directly declared that he was not destined for the position of Hokage.

Orochimaru, the only remaining one, was under the control of Danzo Shimura.

Although Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura were only partners and not in a superior-subordinate relationship, as long as the two cooperated, Danzo Shimura would definitely have a series of incriminating evidence against Orochimaru.

Just as Orochimaru held a series of incriminating evidence against Danzo Shimura, how could two ruthless and vicious people not have each other's weaknesses?

"Pass down the order to closely monitor Hiruzen Sarutobi's every move, and don't let the Sannin get away with it either. I need to know what they did and when, who they met in which place, and how long they stayed there."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

After the Root ninja left to carry out his orders, Shimura Danzo sat back in his leader's chair, found a comfortable position, and leaned back against the chair.

"Hiruzen, even if you can stall for time and not decide on the next Hokage candidate, this isn't something you can stop just by wishful thinking. We'll wait and see..."

"I can't wait for the Hokage position!" Shimura Danzo gripped the armrest of his chair tightly, his single exposed eye flashing with a chilling light.

Chapter 50: The Two Brothers Bargaining.

After being seriously injured, Hatake Sakumo slowly regained consciousness in just a day and a half.

However, with Akira Hatake warning him and Tsunade providing support, Sakumo Hatake's true physical condition was kept hidden.

In most people's eyes, Sakumo Hatake has become a useless person and has retired prematurely.

But in the eyes of Tsunade, who was in the know, she saw a new bloodline clan about to rise in Konoha.

With the help of Hatake Meizo's skills, Hatake Sakumo's life energy and bloodline elimination power are now in a state of balance. Although the two powers are still consuming each other, this consumption is not only harmless to Hatake Sakumo, but also very beneficial.

All bloodline limits must undergo this ordeal at the beginning of their creation in order to imprint this power in their bloodline and pass it down to future generations.

Clearly, the life energy and the power of bloodline elimination, which were already in a state of equilibrium, have begun to merge. As time goes by, the power of bloodline elimination will be completely integrated into Sakumo Hatake's bloodline.

However, this will take time; according to Tsunade's estimate, it should take about 5 to 7 years.

When he learned of Tsunade's assessment, Akira Hatake was deeply disturbed, because in his memory, the Third Shinobi World War had only lasted that long.

In other words, during the period when Hatake Sakumo was integrating the bloodstains into his bloodline, he was in a very safe situation and could focus entirely on the fusion process.

"Father, I brought you your favorite fruit."

As the ward door opened, Akira Hatake led Kakashi into the ward, the two brothers carrying a basket of fruit and a flower basket.

“Uncle Sakumo… My name is Yuhi Kurenai. I heard you were unwell, so I came to visit you.”

After the two Hatake brothers entered the room, a small head peeked out from the doorway, its bright red eyes quite distinctive.

"It's Kurenai Yuhi. Uncle's health is fine. It's kind of you to think of me." Sakumo Hatake, lying on the hospital bed, poked his head out and then forced a kind smile onto his face.

In fact, Sakumo Hatake was already able to get out of bed and move around, but in order to avoid attracting attention, he had to pretend for a while.

This was undoubtedly torture for Sakumo Hatake. From the moment he woke up, his temper flared up at a visible speed.

Kakashi was alright; aside from having a cold expression, Sakumo Hatake didn't criticize him.

But Akira Hatake is different. Sakumo Hatake has been stirring up trouble these past few days, and whenever he gets the chance, he gives Akira Hatake a thorough dressing-down.

Akira Hatake would never throw a tantrum at a patient, especially since the patient was his father. Akira Hatake dared not act rashly and could only obediently endure it.

However, Kurenai's arrival today improved Sakumo Hatake's mood considerably, and he immediately forgot about reprimanding Akira Hatake.

"Kurenai, come here, let your uncle take a good look at you." Hatake Sakumo beckoned to Kurenai Yuhi, but then frowned.

"Where did your usual quick wit go?" Hatake Sakumo glanced at Hatake Akira, who was blocking his way, and said impatiently, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, go and get a stool for Kurenai."

"Oh." Akira Hatake nodded, then ran out of the ward as fast as he could.

Akira Hatake had absolutely no intention of provoking Sakumo Hatake's increasingly bad temper these past few days.

Fortunately, Akira Hatake ran into Kurenai Yuhi today and pulled her into the ward to draw Sakumo Hatake's attention; otherwise, Akira Hatake would definitely not have fared well today either.

Soon, Akira Hatake moved a stool over and invited Kurenai Yuhi to sit in a spot very close to Sakumo Hatake.

Seeing Sakumo Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi chatting happily, Akira Hatake felt quite pleased, at least he wouldn't have to worry about family conflicts in the future.

And thanks to Kurenai Yuhi, Akira Hatake is able to have a good life today.

……

It's said that a mother-in-law finds her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye the more she looks at him, and the same principle applies to a father-in-law's view of his daughter-in-law.

In short, Kurenai Yuhi had a very pleasant time with Sakumo Hatake, and the young girl's innocent heart was stirred by it.

She wanted to take Akira Hatake to see Kurenai Yuhi...

“Kurenai, let’s postpone our visit to Uncle Kurenai.” Akira Hatake pretended to be hesitant. “My father is still unable to get out of bed. After completing my genin missions and the training assigned by my teacher, I have to go to the hospital with Kakashi to take care of him. I may not have the time to go to your house.”

"I see..." Kurenai was a little disappointed, but she didn't throw a tantrum; she knew what was important and what wasn't.

"You must come after Uncle Sakumo recovers!" Kurenai smiled sweetly. "My father has been talking about you several times."

"Uh...this...haha, definitely, definitely!"

Akira Hatake scratched his head, his smile looking extremely unnatural.

"Silly girl, your father is nagging me because I'm trying to steal his little cabbage, and he's planning to punish me. But you're making it sound like a good thing..." Hatake Akira thought to himself, then quickly coaxed Kurenai Yuhi back home with a few words.

"Brother, you're lying again," Kakashi said without a smile.

"Don't talk, they haven't gone far yet!" Hatake glanced at Kakashi, "So that's why you don't have a girlfriend, it's all because of your honesty!"

"There should be no deception in the relationship between men and women," Kakashi said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

However, Akira Hatake didn't tolerate him and reached out to smack Kakashi on the back of the head. "Can it be called lying when I'm coaxing my girlfriend? At most, it's just a white lie. It's for our future."

"Tch!" Kakashi left with a disdainful sound before turning and walking away, still harboring resentment towards Akira Hatake.

As for why he was angry, it was because Akira Hatake made Sakumo Hatake do such a dangerous thing, which was completely different from Kakashi's own beliefs.

Kakashi is the kind of person who would rather suffer himself than hurt the people he cares about, and under Akira Hatake's influence, this trait of his has only intensified.

Shaking his head, Akira Hatake quickly followed, placing his hand on Kakashi's shoulder as usual.

Kakashi struggled for a couple of moments, but when he realized he couldn't break free, he gave up. However, he still kept a straight face and didn't give Hatake Akira a kind look.

"Kakashi, how about I extend the time tonight and give you a few breaths of life energy?"

"You should prioritize Father's well-being. I don't want him to stay so gloomy." Kakashi longed for this advice, but still resolutely refused.

“Didn’t you hear what Lady Tsunade said about Father’s health? What Father lacks now is time, not more life energy,” Hatake Akira earnestly persuaded. “I only need to help Father replenish his energy two or three times a day, and you can decide the rest of the time.”

Feeling Kakashi's shoulder twitch beneath his wrist, Akira Hatake knew he was smitten and quickly pressed his advantage.

“While physical strength is innate, with my brother around, it’s not a problem to develop it later.” Hatake Akira smiled and pulled Kakashi into his arms tightly, as if he were leaning on him and walking with him.

"How about it, Kakashi? Want to have some fun?"

"Hmph, why not?" Kakashi's lips curled slightly, but he still forced himself to maintain a cold expression. "Why not take advantage of it? You owe me this!"

"How did I owe you something again?" Akira Hatake asked, puzzled.

"You don't need to know that. You just need to know that you owe me." Kakashi turned his head away from Akira Hatake.

"Alright, I'll owe you then." Akira Hatake's eyes darted around. "Since I already owe you, it doesn't matter if I owe you a few more times."

"What are you planning to do?!" Kakashi sensed something was wrong.

"Hehe, when we get to the ward later, you can draw some attention to me and deliberately make a mistake so that Father can scold you. That way, I can have an easier time."

"You caused this mess yourself, why should I share your father's anger?" Kakashi's voice carried a hint of grievance.

"Because you are the younger brother, and I am the older brother." Akira Hatake said the most shameless thing in a serious manner. "Shouldn't the younger brother stand up for his older brother when he is in trouble? Besides, it's not like I'm not going to pay you 'reward'."

"So today... how many times do you plan to transfer life energy to me?" Kakashi asked tentatively.

"Ten times!" Akira Hatake held up one finger with a serious expression.

"No, start with 100 times!"

"make a deal!"

Damn it, we lost out!

Kakashi immediately regretted his decision when he saw how readily Akira Hatake agreed. He secretly vowed that he would add a zero after the hundred next time he had the chance.

He'll be exhausted!

Chapter 51 Multiple Shadow Clone Technique: A Cheat Method for Cultivation!

The skill "Tai Gua: Longevity" became an absolute bug in the Naruto world.

First, let's talk about treatment. As long as it's not a fatal injury, such as a head being cut in half, a heart being pierced, or a kidney being twisted, as long as the injured person is still breathing, Akira Hatake can save them with a single dose of milk.

Of course, the extent to which the injured can be healed depends on the skill level of Tai Gua: Longevity, Hatake Akira's personal strength, and how many pieces of equipment Hatake Akira has purchased from the equipment shop.

It's worth mentioning that since the equipment sold in the equipment shop is materialized for use, Akira Hatake naturally doesn't have the restriction of an equipment slot. As long as Akira Hatake has enough gold coins, he can equip more than a dozen pieces of complete equipment at once without any problem.

Next, let's talk about the most overpowered ability of Tai Gua Longevity in the Naruto world—the injection of life energy.

After continuously infusing Sakumo Hatake with life energy over the past few days, Akira Hatake has gained a better understanding of the situation.

Because Akira Hatake only has the hero template of Ming Shi Yin and has not digitized all of his abilities, he is currently unable to arrive at a very accurate number.

However, he has a general idea in mind, which is sufficient for the current stage.

Furthermore, Akira Hatake didn't expect to turn Kakashi or anyone else into a Hashirama Senju with a single heal.

That's unrealistic, so we can only rely on Akira Hatake to slowly wear him down over time.

With his current Chunin-level strength, without any equipment, a single heal from Hatake Akira could infuse about one-fifth of the life energy of an average adult.

In other words, after five infusions, the physical condition of an average adult can double.
