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

Ugh? !

It’s not impossible!

Having made up his mind, Akira Hatake waved his hand, then turned his wheelchair and entered the spatial passage. When he came out again, he was already on the top floor of the Konoha Library.

"who!"

The guard exclaimed in surprise, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Akira Hatake. "Good evening, Lord Akira!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Akira Hatake nodded to the Hyuga clan guard, then turned his wheelchair and entered the top-floor book storage room of the library.

The number of ninjutsu on the top floor of the Konoha Library is not large, but the vast majority of them are A-rank or higher.

Leaving aside their sheer power, some S-rank ninjutsu are undeniably difficult to learn.

In addition to these, the top-level collection also includes many forbidden and secret techniques from the other four hidden villages, making it worthy of being called a ninja encyclopedia.

Turning the Analects, Akira Hatake's fingers traced across the bookshelf, and he quickly found what he was looking for.

Annotations on Lightning Release Chakra Patterns

This is a closely guarded secret of Kumogakure, but since the Third Shinobi World War, many of Kumogakure's signature skills have been collected into the Konoha Library.

Holding it in his hand, and glancing at the borrowing record hanging beside it, Akira Hatake understood.

"Kakashi has already been here..."

Knowing full well that Kakashi had long coveted the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of Kumogakure, it was only natural for Kakashi to come and borrow this secret technique from Kumogakure.

"I wonder how Kakashi is doing with his Lightning Release Chakra Mode training."

Akira Hatake's mind flashed to Kakashi in his Lightning Release armor. "If he were to successfully train in it, and then combine it with his Bloodstained Elimination Sword Technique, then..."

The imagined scene flashed through his mind, and Akira Hatake smiled. "Once Kakashi and Master return from Mount Myōboku, I'll ask them about their specific training results, and then we should be able to start unifying the ninja world."

Clearing his mind, Akira Hatake stopped thinking about miscellaneous things and focused his attention on the ninjutsu annotations in his hand.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode—this secret technique was coveted not only by Kakashi but also by Akira Hatake.

The Lightning Release Armor in Lightning Release Chakra Mode provides a considerable boost to its defense and attack speed. If it were further modified into Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode, its power would be enhanced even more.

If the improvement is successful, this technique will be very effective both internally and externally.

For example, Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode is perfect for dealing with the Otsutsuki clan from outer space who are not good at taijutsu and only know how to bombard others with their powerful strength and massive chakra.

With that in mind, Akira Hatake studied even more intently, and the Sage Chakra within his body also moved slowly along the meridian pathways described in the ninjutsu annotations.

After the Sage Chakra within his body circulated along the fixed meridian pathways, a blue light suddenly shone around Akira Hatake.

Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode is complete!

Akira Hatake was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly the technique progressed, and his understanding of Sage Chakra deepened as well.

To put it simply, there isn't much difference between Sage Chakra and regular Chakra in terms of how they are used.

When a normal ninjutsu is activated, adding chakra makes it a chakra ninjutsu. So, when sage chakra is added, it naturally becomes a sage jutsu.

"If it's that simple... then..."

Akira Hatake rolled his eyes, put the "Annotations on Lightning Release Chakra Patterns" back on the bookshelf, and then began to select some secret techniques and forbidden techniques that he felt might be useful.

Soon, Akira Hatake selected several powerful ninjutsu.

First, there are Water Release ninjutsu: such as Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade and Water Release: Water Severing Wave.

The power of these two water-style ninjutsu is undeniable; both are S-rank ultimate ninjutsu. With the addition of Sage Chakra, the Otsutsuki clan from outer space simply cannot withstand them.

Having mastered Water Release, Akira Hatake naturally wouldn't give up Fire Release ninjutsu.

However, Akira Hatake only chose one Fire Release ninjutsu, which was the Sarutobi clan's family's secret Fire Release technique: Fire Release: Great Flame Technique.

This fire-style ninjutsu has a coverage area comparable to Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation, but its power is significantly greater.

However, while Fire Release: Great Flame Technique is powerful, it consumes far more chakra than Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.

But for Akira Hatake, the one thing he had in abundance was chakra.

After selecting the ninjutsu, Akira Hatake put the ninjutsu commentary books he had read back on the bookshelf.

"I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap..."

Chapter 339 Another powerful general joins the ranks. (Bonus chapter for reaching 200 monthly votes)

When he woke up from his nap, it was already bright outside. Akira stretched and yawned.

"Another busy day..."

With a sigh, Akira Hatake spun his wheelchair into the spatial passage and instantly arrived at Orochimaru's research base.

After having dinner with Tsunade and Jiraiya, Orochimaru had recovered his spirits.

Although he drank quite a bit yesterday, Orochimaru is a ninja after all, and if someone doesn't want to get drunk or wants to sober up quickly, Orochimaru has plenty of ways to help them.

"My lord, what brings you here today?"

"I need to borrow two people from you."

Akira Hatake didn't stand on ceremony and immediately stated his purpose: "My plan with Obito needs to be brought forward, as the Akatsuki organization doesn't have enough manpower."

"Looks like I'm going to lose two more clones."

Orochimaru chuckled, but his expression showed no concern.

Replicants are a quick-to-produce consumable, so they're perfect for being used right now.

But to Orochimaru's surprise, Akira Hatake shook his head, "What I want is not expendable clones, but genuine top-tier combat power."

Orochimaru was taken aback, then shook his head. "My lord, I don't understand what you mean."

"Orochimaru, stop beating around the bush. Aren't Kaguya Kimimaro and Mizuki Haku already in your hands?"

"..."

Orochimaru was clearly taken aback, then a forced smile appeared on his face. "It seems that nothing that has happened here can be hidden from you, my lord."

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to lend them to me or not?"

“My lord, it’s not that I don’t want to lend them, it’s just that they are still young. Apart from their bloodline limit being remarkable, they are not satisfactory in other aspects.”

Orochimaru's excuse was one that no one could refuse.

As Orochimaru said, Kaguya Kimimaro and Mizuki Haku are still young, and even with their outstanding bloodline limits, they would find it difficult to stand on their own.

However, Akira Hatake didn't care at all; he had plenty of ways to force growth.

“I know all of this, but how should I put it, I don’t believe you don’t have a way to help them grow quickly.”

“I do have it, but it’s easy for problems to arise.”

Orochimaru looked troubled. "Kimimaro is already showing signs of blood disease. If we use external forces to rapidly increase his strength, not only will the blood disease worsen, but it will also cause irreversible damage to his potential."

"Don't worry about me."

Akira raised his hand in a gesture, "Don't forget my support abilities. I believe that combined with your research methods, we can help them grow to Kage-level strength as quickly as possible without any side effects."

"This……"

Seeing that all his escape routes were blocked, Orochimaru could only force a bitter smile and say, "My Lord, are you trying to completely drain me dry?"

"I had no choice but to accept the situation."

Akira Hatake shrugged. "Orochimaru, you've been training your troops for a thousand days to use them for one. I don't want you to mess things up now."

"Is that shell-like structure really that dangerous?"

Orochimaru looked at Akira Hatake very seriously, "Ever since Jiraiya sent back news about Kara, you've become quite impatient."

Can you not be in a hurry?

Akira Hatake pursed his lips, but he still had to explain the exact origins of the Kara organization to Orochimaru again.

As Orochimaru listened attentively to Akira Hatake's explanation, his eyes grew brighter and brighter. "The people of Kara are excellent research subjects!"

"Now that you mention it, I'm also incredibly curious about the shell structure. I can't wait to study that 'Wedge' mark that's giving you such a headache..."

"You'd better save your breath, Orochimaru."

Akira Hatake's words were full of distrust and worry about Orochimaru. "After all, the 'Karma' mark is a life-saving secret technique of the Otsutsuki clan, and I don't know the specific method of imprinting it yet."

"If you rashly study this, and you fall victim to it, don't blame me for eliminating you completely!"

Orochimaru could hear the threat in Hatake Akira's words, and immediately made a solemn promise to Hatake Akira.

"Don't worry, Ming. I know what's important and what's urgent. I won't take any action without being absolutely certain."

"Curious, I'm just curious..."

"If we can figure out the principle behind the 'wedge' marking, then the technology of replicating humans will seem somewhat outdated."

"Alright, Orochimaru, stop going off on a tangent."

Akira Hatake steered the conversation back on track, "With White Zetsu's body, your clone-accelerating techniques, and my assistance, how long do you think it will take to get Kimimaro and Haku to Kage-level strength?"

"About a week."

Orochimaru gave Akira Hatake a rough timeframe, "However, that only means reaching Kage level in terms of chakra, physique, and abilities. To truly unleash Kage-level power, methods of accelerated growth won't work."

"This requires the tempering of major battles and the time to settle, after all, combat experience cannot be forcibly instilled in them."

"I understand this."

Akira Hatake nodded, but this was exactly the kind of two he wanted. As for the remaining problems and hidden dangers, he would leave them to Obito Uchiha to worry about.

"Let's get started quickly, Obito needs it urgently."

"Heh, Ming... I have to give you a piece of advice: Aren't you afraid that Obito Uchiha will become too powerful to handle?"

Orochimaru chuckled and pointed out that Obito Uchiha was a hidden danger lurking in the shadows.

"You don't need to worry about that." Akira Hatake completely ignored Orochimaru's reminder. "If I can use you with confidence, I can naturally use Obito Uchiha with confidence too."

"As for the consequences, do you think I would be afraid given my current strength and the established momentum I've built up?"

Akira Hatake was absolutely right; he really wasn't afraid!
