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

If Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha behave themselves, Akira Hatake will naturally treat them as his own people, and they will receive all the benefits and conveniences they deserve.

However, if the two of them harbor any ill intentions, Akira Hatake is confident that he can suppress them instantly with swift and decisive measures.

Despite his current sickly appearance, if he were to go all out, even if the Otsutsuki brothers Hagoromo and Hamura joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Hatake Akira.

"It's good that you have that confidence."

Orochimaru said one thing and then stopped talking about it, leading Akira Hatake to a large laboratory.

"Kabuto, put aside your research for now and bring Haku and Kimimaro over."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

After Kabuto left, Akira Hatake looked at Orochimaru with surprise, "I didn't expect you to have him under your command..."

"Oh? Doesn't a wise ruler know this?"

"I really didn't know that. I thought you two wouldn't run into each other again, but I didn't expect..."

Akira Hatake felt a pang of emotion, but then quickly came to terms with it.

Akira Hatake knew perfectly well who Orochimaru was, and he also knew very well who Kabuto Yakushi was.

Judging from their compatibility, as long as they have the opportunity to meet, they will definitely become the same "king and queen" pair as before.

"Does a wise ruler find this incredible?"

Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile. "This is quite rare. Is there some hidden story I don't know about?"

Orochimaru was indeed very perceptive; Hatake Akira's few words aroused Orochimaru's suspicion, which left Hatake Akira feeling quite helpless.

“I paid a little attention to you when I was peeking into the future, and I didn’t expect that you and Kabuto Yakushi would continue some of the things that were going to happen in the future.”

After hearing Akira Hatake's explanation, Orochimaru gave up the idea of ​​pressing the matter further.

He knew that Akira Hatake had the ability to foresee the future, but Orochimaru scoffed at it, always feeling that the vague and uncertain future was completely unreliable.

Orochimaru only trusts himself and the technology he possesses. He focuses more on the present than on the future, which is subject to change at any moment.

That makes sense. Orochimaru, who proposed the "god-making" plan, is that kind of person. He wouldn't care about those "destinies"!

If it's not yours, just reach out and grab it. Once you have it, who will say it's not what you deserve?

Orochimaru's simple and straightforward thinking naturally determined his personality, which also saved Akira Hatake a lot of trouble.

After a while, Kabuto brought the four-year-old Mizuki Haku and Kimimaro to Akira Hatake and Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru!" x2

The two bowed to Orochimaru, then straightened up and looked at the unfamiliar-looking Akira Hatake with eyes full of doubt and inquiry.

Orochimaru rarely sends people to his laboratory, and even when they do, he won't allow the two of them to appear.

Whether they were hiding it or trying to cover it up, apart from Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, Kimimaro and Haku had never met anyone else from Konoha.

"Beside me is Akira Hatake, one of the Konoha Twins, and also the Konoha Silver Flash, who is as famous as the Yellow Flash of Konoha."

"Lord Ming!" X2

"Indeed, he is a promising talent."

Akira Hatake nodded, looking at the two with great appreciation.

Needless to say, if Kaguya Kimimaro had been a little stronger and had more life energy, he wouldn't have died so young. With the purity of his Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), he could have gone a step further and advanced it to "Kuji-Killing Ash Bones".

Mizuki Haku, a boy who looks like a woman, was someone that Akira Hatake was infatuated with for a period of time in his previous life.

As for why he's obsessed with it, it's because of Haku's gender and his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

Ice Release Kekkei Genkai isn't actually a very powerful Kekkei Genkai, but it's beautiful, which naturally left a deep impression on Akira Hatake.

The combination of these two factors naturally left a deep impression on Akira Hatake, and he had a very good feeling about him.

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Xie Ming." X2

"Don't thank me yet. Listen to what I asked you to do first, then you can say thank you."

Akira Hatake knew that Haku Mizuki disliked fighting and even had a tendency to be a saint.

To the enemy, Mizuki Haku is a respectable person, but to his own people, he can easily become a hindrance at crucial moments.

However, Akira Hatake didn't rely entirely on Haku. Kaguya Kimimaro, the battle maniac, was definitely one of the most useful tools.

Kaguya Kimimaro had absolutely no objection to Orochimaru's request, because for him, he would do his best to fulfill Orochimaru's wishes, even if it meant death.

But Mizuki Haku is different. That's just his personality. Even if he dies and turns to ashes, it might not change.

Therefore, what Akira Hatake is about to tell the two of them is likely to provoke resistance from Haku Mizuki.

As expected, after Akira Hatake explained his purpose, Mizuki Haku's small face was full of struggle.

Kaguya Kimimaro's face turned bright red, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in her eyes.

Instead of immediately agreeing, Kaguya Kimimaro glanced at Orochimaru, her meaning all too clear.

Kaguya Kimimaro craved battle and would rather die in it, but he also knew that he was a tool in Orochimaru's hands. Without Orochimaru's permission, he could only suppress his desires.

"I have already agreed to this matter. Now it's up to you to make your own choice."

Orochimaru responded, Kaguya Kimimaro looked excited, while Mizuki Haku looked at Hatake Akira with a troubled expression.

"Lord Ming, I... I'm not good at fighting..."

Although it was phrased euphemistically, how could Akira Hatake not understand the subtext in his words?

"In that case, I won't force you. You can continue to stay by Orochimaru's side."

Akira Hatake did not force Haku to join his plan, as it wouldn't matter if Haku's personality was fine.

But the key is that Mizuki Haku has the kind of heart that pleases enemies and pains loved ones, and Akira Hatake doesn't want Mizuki Haku to ruin his many plans.

"And Kimimaro, what about you?"

"Orochimaru-sama's orders are my goal, and I am willing!"

"However, after you follow me, your boss will no longer be Orochimaru, but me."

Akira Hatake pointed to himself, then looked at Orochimaru with a smile in his eyes.

"That's it!"

Orochimaru sighed deeply, his eyes twitching, the resentment in his heart almost solidifying into a tangible form. "Kimimaro, from now on you are just a tool of Akira Hatake, and you have nothing to do with me anymore."

"Lord Orochimaru, you...you can't..."

Kimimaro was anxious; his little face was full of grievance and confusion.

Was I just given away like that?

"As a tool, one must be aware of one's role as a tool!"

Orochimaru added another sentence, and Kimimaro then returned to his usual cold demeanor, "Lord Akira, from now on I am your tool, your orders are my targets, and it will be a fight to the death."

"Don't speak so menacingly, and we need all sorts of tools."

Akira Hatake knew about Kaguya Kimimaro's personality flaws, flaws that were ideal for those in power, but Akira didn't want that.

It's not that Akira Hatake is soft-hearted, but rather that he has a better way to fill the void in Kimimaro Kaguya's heart.

“You are not a tool, but a talent I need, a talent worthy of my training and entrustment with important responsibilities.”

Light! Akira Hatake saw light in Kimimaro Kaguya's eyes!

This light is even brighter than the brilliance of "a scholar will die for one who understands him," because Kaguya Kimimaro has longed to be needed since childhood, and what he lacks most is the feeling of being needed.

Similarly, Mizuki Haku's personality also carries a sense of emptiness, a feeling of being needed. Looking at Kimimaro, his eyes are filled with envy.

"Lord Ming, do you...do you really need me?"

"Of course, you're so outstanding, otherwise I wouldn't have competed with Orochimaru for you."

Akira Hatake smiled and reached out to touch Kaguya Kimimaro's white hair. "Our hair colors are almost the same, one white and one silver, they match very well."

With just a few words, Akira Hatake brought Kimimaro Kaguya under his command, which made Orochimaru look at Akira Hatake with some hostility.

Orochimaru thought he was a master at winning people's hearts, but he didn't expect that Akira Hatake was even more skilled than him!

Now, Kaguya Kimimaro is completely under someone else's control...

The second candidate is Uchiha Shisui. (Free chapter, Happy New Year everyone!)

Akira Hatake and Orochimaru had a whole plan to "force" Kaguya Kimimaro to mature.

As for how to "force maturity", it is naturally by using White Zetsu's body cells and the cloning technology of the clones, plus the assistance of Akira Hatake's third skill "Tai Gua: Longevity".

First, although White Zetsu's body cells are not as good as Flourishing cells, the advantages of White Zetsu's body cells are that they are peaceful, stable, and easily absorbed.

When Madara Uchiha was treating Obito Uchiha's injuries, the body cells of White Zetsu played a significant role.

Furthermore, during the process of using White Zetsu's body cells, Obito Uchiha's physical age increased by about ten years.

Otherwise, during the Nine-Tails' rampage in the original timeline, Obito Uchiha's height wouldn't have been significantly greater than Kakashi's, and wouldn't have been comparable to his mentor Minato Namikaze's height.

Secondly, when Orochimaru clones, he uses a unique body-growth technology to make the clones take shape quickly.

With the body cells of White Zetsu and Orochimaru's unique super-growth technology, Kaguya Kimimaro would be able to rapidly develop and mature her body in a short period of time.

Of course, doing so would undoubtedly be overdrawing on Kaguya Kimimaro's physical potential. Although it would allow Kaguya Kimimaro to enter a stage of physical strength and vigor ahead of time, it would also have endless consequences.

With the help of Akira Hatake's third skill "Tai Gua: Longevity", there will be no problem. The large amount of life energy is enough to offset the aftereffects of this three-in-one "ripening" technology.

With the above plan in place, all that remained was for Orochimaru to execute it, while Akira Hatake only needed to stand by and provide assistance.

However, before Kimimaro could immediately implement his "forced ripening" plan, he needed to prepare some experimental materials, so Akira Hatake, who had nothing to do for the time being, left Orochimaru's testing base.

ANBU.

"Father, I have come to borrow someone from you."

After arriving at the Anbu headquarters, Akira Hatake went straight to Sakumo Hatake and immediately stated the purpose of his trip.

Sakumo Hatake didn't mince words and asked a concise question.

"Who?"

"Uchiha Shisui," Akira Hatake said directly. "By the way, Father, he's not out on a mission, is he?"
