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

After muttering something, Akira Hatake turned to Nara Shikaku and instructed him, "Shikaku, preserve Asuma's identity and give him a new permit to leave the village."

"When Asuma wants to return to Konoha, just have him sign a document when he comes back, and also notify the guards at the village entrance not to stop him."

"Okay, Akira, should we handle Sarutobi Asuma according to Jiraiya-sama's situation?"

"Well, although there are some differences, it's always right to handle Sarutobi Asuma by following Jiraiya's template."

Akira Hatake glanced out the window, his gaze sweeping across the gates of Konoha, a strange expression in his eyes. "Asuma didn't do anything wrong; he was just implicated..."

"Akira, you really are... In short, the Fourth Hokage did not misjudge you."

Nara Shikaku held Hatake Akira in high esteem; few people could display such magnanimity as Hatake Akira.

Akira Hatake pursed his lips, offering no explanation to Shikaku Nara.

He took too much from Sarutobi Asuma, so Akira Hatake was happy to offer even a small amount of compensation within his means.

"By the way, Shikaku, is there any news about Jiraiya-sama?"

Turning his head, Akira Hatake looked at Shikaku Nara, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten about my master..."

"Cough cough."

Nara Shikaku coughed twice, refraining from offering any opinion on Jiraiya's behalf.

Walking to the desk, Nara Shikaku took out an encrypted file.

"This is information that Jiraiya-sama recently sent back. Although the information in it is not very important, it is still of some value."

Akira Hatake took the intelligence report from Shikaku Nara and read it carefully.

"Shell tissue?!"

"What's wrong, Ming? Is this organization special?"

Seeing Akira Hatake's surprised expression, Nara Shikaku instinctively asked a question.

He had also read the intelligence that Jiraiya had sent back, which described the Kara organization as not powerful, much weaker than the Akatsuki organization at its peak.

The only person that Nara Shikaku felt threatened by was the leader of the Kara organization.

However, Jiraiya did not fight the leader of the Kara organization, so there is not much detail about Jiraiya in the intelligence reports.

"It's very special."

Akira Hatake's expression returned to normal. "Shikaku, contact Jiraiya-sama for me. Tell him I have an urgent matter and want him to return to the village as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Nara Shikaku didn't ask any further questions. In fact, he could guess without even asking that Hatake Akira was definitely after the Kara organization mentioned in Jiraiya's intelligence.

Nara Shikaku was even more curious, however, because the Kara organization consisted of only a handful of people, and its location was on the edge of the ninja world, seemingly having no impact on Konoha.

Why……

Seeing the doubt in Nara Shikaku's eyes, Hatake Akira smiled and shook his head. "Shikaku, the Kara organization is dangerous, even more dangerous than the Akatsuki organization at its peak."

"Before our master returns to the village, we should not make any rash moves, and we should not send out any of our intelligence ninjas to investigate any information about the Kara organization."

At this point, Akira Hatake suddenly became very serious. He was very worried that the suddenly emerging Shell organization might cause some unnecessary harm to the Konoha ninja.

The reason for expediting the recall of Jiraiya was that Akira Hatake was concerned for Jiraiya's personal safety.

Jiraiya's fighting strength is very strong, there is no doubt about that.

If Jiraiya had known all the information about Pain's Six Paths in the original timeline, his battle wouldn't have been so difficult.

Moreover, if Jiraiya hadn't wanted to gather more information about the Akatsuki, he would have had a high chance of escaping.

After all, Nagato and Konan intended to let Jiraiya go, but Jiraiya was ungrateful... or perhaps he was determined to die...

In short, Akira Hatake did not want this tragedy to happen again.

The Jade Gate of the Shell Organization is not Nagato and Konan.

If Jiraiya investigates the Kara organization thoroughly, he will definitely not return when he faces Jigen.

"Are shell tissues really that dangerous?"

Seeing Akira Hatake so serious, Nara Shikaku's curiosity grew even stronger. "It's been a long time since I've seen you so serious..."

"You'll understand later."

Akira Hatake didn't say much to Shikaku Nara, and handed the intelligence over again, saying, "Mark it as top secret, guard it strictly, and do not allow a single word to be leaked."

"I understand, there won't be any mishaps."

Seeing that Akira Hatake was unwilling to say more, Shikaku Nara naturally did not press him for details, but solemnly assured Akira Hatake.

"Shikaku, I'll be away for a while, so I'm leaving the village in your care."

"You're going out too?!"

Nara Shikaku's eyes widened. So many unexpected events had happened today, one after another, that he was having trouble keeping up.

"Okay, so please!"

Akira Hatake bowed deeply to Shikaku Nara before disappearing from the Hokage's office.

"What is going on?"

After Akira Hatake left, Shikaku Nara sighed deeply, "The Fourth Hokage is gone, and Akira is gone too... Is it my turn to handle the village's many heavy administrative affairs again?"

"Who is the Hokage anyway?!"

Akira Hatake couldn't hear Shikaku Nara's complaints; he had already used his spatial abilities to arrive at a remote town on the border of the Land of Fire.

Short book street.

The reason this remote town is named after a street is because the town's short street is so famous.

Tanzaku, a town that combines casinos, red-light districts, hot springs, izakayas, and gourmet food, ranks among the most prosperous in the entire Land of Fire and even the entire ninja world.

However, Akira Hatake didn't come here to experience life; he came here to find Tsunade.

Sure enough, when Akira Hatake appeared in a corner of Tanabata Street, he could hear the cheers from the casino from a distance.

"I won! I bet on it!"

"I've waited too long for this day. Whether I can turn things around depends on this!"

"Big fat sheep, you'd better step up your game!"

"Damn it, I'm on a winning streak today, you guys just wait to lose!"

In the largest casino in Tanabata, Tsunade spoke with an air of domineering arrogance.

Of course, there are even more imposing ones; Tsunade's ninja weapon is no joke!

However, everyone's attention was not on Tsunade's murder weapon at all, but on the gambling table.

"Buy big!"

Tsunade waved her hand domineeringly, and Shizune, standing beside her, could only reluctantly take out a stack of banknotes from the money box and place them on the gambling table.

"Buy small!"

"We'll bet on small!"

"Bet on small, all in!"

When Shizune placed a stack of banknotes on the gambling table, the gamblers around him were all in unison and placed bets against him!

I'm betting on the big one.

A banknote was placed on the gambling table, along with a gentle and refined voice.

Chapter 332: Tsunade and Jiraiya are recalled.

Beside the gambling table, Tsunade looked up in surprise, her gaze meeting that of Akira Hatake.

"bright?!"

The voice was a mixture of surprise and astonishment, followed by anger: "Have you forgotten the Three Commandments of the Ninja?!"

"Lady Tsunade, I was just placing my bet on your behalf. The outcome is none of my business. I'm just a spectator."

Listening to Akira Hatake's sophistry, Tsunade pursed her lips and said nothing more, instead focusing her attention back on the dice cup in the dealer's hand.

With a clatter, as the sieve jar continued to shake, Tsunade's delicate ears twitched slightly, as if trying to judge the size and number of dice based on the sound.

However, Hatake knew perfectly well that Tsunade's actions were completely futile.

Sure enough, when the dealer lifted the lid of the sieve, Tsunade turned her head away in annoyance.

"4, 4, 5 o'clock big!"

When the dealer revealed the score, apart from Tsunade and Shizune looking very upset, everyone around the gambling table cheered as if it were New Year's Day.

"Ming, stay away from me!"

Tsunade blamed the loss on Akira Hatake, saying, "If you hadn't shown up without permission and placed a bet with me, I would have won this time!"

"Lady Tsunade, face reality. You can't win without me."

Akira Hatake smiled and shook his head, then became serious. "And Lady Tsunade, if you win, things could get very bad."

Tsunade has excellent sportsmanship when it comes to gambling, but her luck seems to be influenced by the concept of "always losing when gambling." Under normal circumstances, Tsunade would never win.

However, once Tsunade breaks the "always loses when gambling" rule and wins occasionally, those close to her will face a life-or-death crisis.

It seems that every time Tsunade wins at gambling, the price is predetermined by fate; whenever Tsunade wins, it absolutely signifies the arrival of disaster.

Clearly, Tsunade immediately realized what Akira Hatake had said, and her already sour expression, which had been worse because of losing money, became even more awful.

"Akira Hatake, if you don't explain yourself clearly, you're not leaving this gambling den today!"

Tsunade's slender fist slammed into the gambling table, instantly shattering it into pieces and throwing the surrounding gamblers, along with the dealer, into chaos.

It's true that Tsunade is a big fat sheep, but the gamblers around her are also aware of her strength.

Although Tsunade has excellent gambling etiquette, it's clear to anyone with eyes that she's in a bad mood. If she doesn't leave now and tries to join in the fun, she'll definitely deserve to get hurt.

"Lady Tsunade, if you continue gambling, I'm afraid something will happen to Lord Jiraiya."

"Jiraiya?"
