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

Mizuki Haku is very handsome, and has a feminine appearance. If you don't look closely, you can easily mistake him for a little girl.

"I do have some free time now."

Kabuto nodded, then extended an invitation to Haku, "If you're looking for something to do, I can teach you some medical ninjutsu."

"Is that alright, Lord Kabuto?"

"Naturally."

Kabuto smiled slightly and nodded to Haku again, "Come with me. After you've learned your skills, you might become another capable assistant to Lord Orochimaru."

With that, Kabuto turned and left, and Mizuki Haku followed without hesitation, her face slightly flushed.

Chapter 338 Successfully Cultivated the Immortal Technique of the Wet Bone Forest!

In an izakaya (Japanese pub) in Konoha's commercial district.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru toasted each other, sharing their experiences and insights since they parted ways.

This harmonious scene was observed by the diners in the izakaya, who did not disturb them but quietly listened to the three legendary Konoha ninjas' lively discussion.

To be honest, the legendary Sannin of Konoha are now a thing of the past; the Konoha Twins are the most renowned figures in Konoha today.

If Akira Hatake and Kakashi were to appear together on a bustling street in Konoha, they would undoubtedly attract a lot of questions from onlookers.

Moreover, if you're not careful, the villagers of Konoha will stuff small odds and ends into your hands.

Although they weren't worth much, the fact remained that whenever the two of them went out, they never came back empty-handed without spending any money.

Overall, the villagers of Konoha were very enthusiastic about the Hatake Akira and Kakashi brothers, after all, they were heroes.

However, since neither Akira Hatake nor Kakashi are in Konoha, the older generation of "Konoha heroes" naturally took on their roles.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Tsunade and the other two had flushed faces and were speaking in a slurred manner.

Just by looking at the bottles of liquor placed next to the table, you can tell that the three of them really drank a lot.

However, as the alcohol took effect, the atmosphere among the three became even more lively, and they became more and more uninhibited in their conversation.

In short, the three of them had a great time and completely released the pain of being separated for more than two years.

But Akira Hatake, far away in Shikkotsu Forest, was not so lucky.

He is still struggling to endure the pain of flesh and blood rotting and the numbness and itching of the healing wound.

However, the Slug Sage who helped Akira Hatake train in the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode was also feeling very bad.

Akira Hatake absorbed more than half of the Sour Immortal Elixir that had been accumulating for over a thousand years, and he showed no signs of stopping.

This left the Slug Immortal both shocked and furious, unsure of what to do.

What was astonishing was Akira Hatake's own physique. The Slug Sage never expected that a human's physical abilities could reach such a level, surpassing even Hashirama Senju by more than ten times.

What angered him was the continuous decrease of the Sour Immortal Liquid. If Hatake Akira continued to absorb it, Shikkotsu would definitely suffer serious damage.

It is important to understand that the foundation of the three sacred sites lies in the abundant natural energy within them.

Like Mount Myoboku, most of their natural energy, besides being contained in the air, is condensed in the Toad Oil Waterfall.

Similar to Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest is characterized by a concentration of natural energy, with most of it concentrated in the Sour Immortal Elixir, in addition to the natural energy permeating the air.

But now, in order to cultivate the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest, Akira Hatake almost absorbed a quarter of the natural energy of Shikkotsu Forest by himself, which would make anyone feel sorry for him.

The Slug Sage wanted to pull Akira Hatake out of the pool, who was still absorbing the Sour Sage Elixir, but after thinking about it, she was afraid of killing him. So she could only endure the pain in her heart and continue to help Akira Hatake train in Sage Mode.

But as time went on, the water level in the Sour Immortal Pool dropped a little, and the Slug Immortal gradually became impatient.

She couldn't possibly abandon the future of Shikkotsu Forest just for the sake of Akira Hatake.

Just as the Slug Sage was about to lose his patience and pull the "Big Eater" Akira Hatake out of the Sour Sage Liquid, Akira Hatake seemed to have timed it perfectly and stood up from the Sour Sage Liquid on his own.

"call!"

Akira Hatake exhaled a breath of stale air, "Awesome, that was so awesome!"

"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to pull you out of the sour elixir!"

As Akira Hatake stretched his waist, the slug sage, now shrunk countless times, spoke in a slightly off tone, no longer as gentle as before.

"Um...did something happen?"

Akira scratched his head, not quite understanding why the Slug Sage had suddenly become angry.

"Don't you know?"

The slug immortal pointed to the pool of sour immortal liquid, where the water level had dropped by about half, and said, "You've taken half of my Wet Bone Forest's thousand-year-old stock!"

"This... I didn't expect my body to be able to hold up so well, I..."

"Alright, let's hurry up and go. Just looking at you annoys me!"

Being able to emerge alive from the Acidic Immortal Liquid Pool means that Akira Hatake has successfully mastered the Immortal Techniques of the Wet Bone Forest.

Now, every cell in Akira Hatake's body contains a large amount of natural energy. If he wanted to, he could sustain high-intensity combat for about a month.

This is practically endless; Shikkotsu Forest's execution of Akira Hatake has yielded a very rich harvest.

However, Akira Hatake couldn't explain why the Slug Sage was in such a hurry to get rid of people.

From the slug sage's few words, Akira Hatake had already deduced the slug sage's current state.

He also understood why the Slug Immortal was so impatient and disliked him so much.

Now that he knew, Akira Hatake naturally had no reason to stay in Shikkotsu Forest any longer.

After quickly putting on his clothes, Akira Hatake bowed deeply to the Slug Sage, saying, "Slug Sage, thank you for your help."

"goodbye!"

Before he could finish speaking, Akira Hatake disappeared from the Slug Sage's sight.

"Sigh...it breaks my heart..."

After Akira Hatake left, the Slug Sage looked at the pool of sour elixir, his small eyes filled with pain.

"I can't let that brat Akira Hatake come to my Shikkotsu Forest anymore..."

……

In the blink of an eye, Akira Hatake had already returned to Konoha.

Looking up at the moon hanging high in the sky, Akira Hatake had already determined the time.

It should be around 1 or 2 a.m.

"I think the magic of the Wet Bone Forest is the easiest to cultivate..."

Akira Hatake sighed, speaking with a touch of arrogance.

Although it sounds like Akira Hatake is in Versailles, with the added bonuses from various equipment, Akira Hatake's talents are terrifying, making the cultivation of immortal arts a piece of cake.

I remember the last time, when Akira Hatake was training in Ryuchi Cave, it took him about three days.

This time in the Wet Bone Forest, it only took about a day, and the speed of cultivation was nothing short of miraculous.

While the speed of cultivating the Wet Bone Forest Immortal Technique is very fast, it is not without its drawbacks.

Because Akira Hatake absorbed too much of the natural energy of Shikkotsu Forest, the Slug Sage was in a bad mood, and Akira Hatake no longer had the opportunity to learn some of the unique Sage Techniques of Shikkotsu Forest.

Even so, Akira Hatake felt that the trip was very worthwhile.

Putting aside how much Sage Chakra Akira has in his body now, his body alone has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Akira Hatake didn't feel anything significant while in Shikkotsu Forest, but he only truly realized it after returning to Konoha.

Akira Hatake's body has undergone a complete transformation, especially his affinity for natural energy, which has reached an unbelievable level.

With just a little perception, the herdsmen can sense the natural energy in the surrounding air and easily distinguish the quantity and quality of that energy.

And that's not even the most outrageous part; Akira Hatake discovered that the distance he could perceive had increased considerably.

As is well known, Sage Mode possesses sensory abilities, although not as clear as the Byakugan, but surpassing it in terms of distance and range.

Previously, when Akira Hatake activated Sage Mode, his maximum perception range was only about 10 kilometers, and he could only see some unmasked group targets or large targets.

And now?

Even without activating Sage Mode, Akira Hatake's Sage Mode perception still accompanies him.

That's really weird!

Akira Hatake was not a sensory-type ninja, nor were Kakashi, Minato Namikaze, and others.

In other words, after Akira Hatake mastered the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest, he automatically became a sensory ninja, which slightly expanded his strength.

This was something to be happy about, and Akira Hatake was naturally overjoyed.

In high spirits, Akira Hatake turned his wheelchair much faster, and in no time he arrived at the Hokage's office.

There was no one in the Hokage's office around midnight. Nara Shikaku had already finished his official duties for the day and was going home to take care of his family.

Moreover, the entire Hokage Building was like this; apart from a few ANBU ninjas on duty, the entire building was deserted.

"Master Ming!"

"Ah."

Akira Hatake nodded to the ANBU guards, then pushed open the door and entered the Hokage's office.

Akira Hatake didn't want to go to the Ninja Academy. Although his new house had been built, the interior decoration was not yet fully completed.

Even after the renovation is complete, Akira Hatake won't move in immediately; he needs to leave it vacant for a while to let the smell dissipate.

Having nowhere else to go, Akira Hatake could only come to the Hokage's office, but as soon as he entered, he saw a drunken Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was fast asleep, lying sprawled on the floor. Akira Hatake kicked him twice, but he didn't react at all.

"Did they...go to a party?"

Akira Hatake was surprised to find a drunkard in the Hokage's office. He immediately covered his nose with one hand and turned his wheelchair with his left hand to leave.

He had no interest in taking care of a drunk middle-aged man, but he might consider it if it were Tsunade.

Jiraiya... never mind.

After leaving the Hokage's office, Akira Hatake suddenly felt like he had nowhere to go. He couldn't very well wander around the library again, could he?
