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

Akira Hatake formed a hand seal, and a shadow clone identical to him appeared beside him.

Looking at Kimimaro again, Akira Hatake pointed to the shadow clone beside him, "Kimimaro, this shadow clone has half of my chakra and strength, but its combat experience is exactly the same as my original body."

"Before Uchiha Shisui awakens, it's up to you how much skill you can learn from my shadow clones."

"I will not let Lord Ming down!"

Kaguya Kimimaro nodded very solemnly, "I will show Lord Akira my worth!"

"okay."

Akira Hatake waved his hand, and his shadow clone, who was connected to him by mind, immediately followed suit.

"Kimimaro, come with me."

After the shadow clones left with Kaguya Kimimaro, Akira Hatake asked Orochimaru, "When do you need my help here?"

"Three days later."

"okay, I get it."

After receiving Orochimaru's reply, Akira Hatake nodded and prepared to leave. He needed to find a third person, and he already had a target in mind.

Orochimaru's god-making plan is about to succeed. (Free chapter, Happy New Year!)

On the Akatsuki side, Akira Hatake initially agreed to provide Obito Uchiha with three top-tier combatants.

Now that there are two, the last one, Akira Hatake chose Aoba Yamashiro, a former member of the Hokage's guard.

Because Yamashiro Aoba followed Hiruzen Sarutobi in launching that rebellion, after Hiruzen Sarutobi's defeat, Yamashiro Aoba naturally could not escape the fate of being purged.

Fortunately, Yamashiro Aoba did not die, and his strength was above that of a typical Jonin, only a step away from Kage level.

The reason why Akira Hatake chose Aoba Yamashiro was not only because of his own decent strength, but also because of his good attitude in admitting his mistakes, which made him worthy of being recruited by Akira Hatake.

Moreover, Yamashiro Aoba is about the same age as Namikaze Minato, so there's no need to carry out the "forced maturity" plan, which saves Hatake Akira a lot of effort.

Moreover, Yamashiro Aoba has extensive combat experience, and after being sent to the Akatsuki, he can also teach Kaguya Kimimaro and Uchiha Shisui.

In short, Yamashiro Aoba is a pretty good candidate.

Konoha Interrogation Department.

Compared to other departments in Konoha, this place has the worst environment.

It was dark, damp, and filled with the smell of blood.

Walking through the narrow, damp passageway, Akira Hatake could occasionally hear screams and the sounds of Konoha interrogating ninjas using torture.

Even in Konoha, there are dark places. This is an unavoidable necessity, because no one can always abide by the law; everyone makes mistakes.

The Konoha interrogation department can also be seen as the Konoha prison, where they interrogate and detain problematic ninjas.

These ninjas included those from Konoha itself, ninjas from other factions captured during missions, and even some ordinary people mixed in.

It's fair to say that Konoha's interrogation department has the most diverse personnel; without a hard heart, no one could survive there.

He gently raised his right hand and placed it below his nose. Akira Hatake frowned; he really didn't like the smell here.

As he spun his wheelchair, Akira Hatake arrived at the end of the passageway, where two Konoha Chunin were guarding him, their faces filled with ferocity.

"Master Ming!"

However, upon seeing that it was Akira Hatake, the fierce expressions on the two guards' faces vanished, replaced by fawning looks.

In Konoha, there really isn't anyone who doesn't want to curry favor with Akira Hatake.

"Well, hello."

Akira Hatake greeted the two guards with a smile, "Where is Aoba Yamashiro being held now?"

"Lord Ming, Aoba Yamashiro is currently in cell number 13 of cell A."

"Take me there, I need to talk to Yamashiro Aoba."

"Lord Ming, please follow me."

Soon, led by the guards, Akira Hatake arrived at the cell where Aoba Yamashiro was being held.

As mentioned earlier, all the ninjas who participated in the rebellion with Hiruzen Sarutobi, except those who were killed on the spot, were brought here.

Those ninjas who posed little threat, showed remorse, and withstood the test have basically all been released.

Although it was the most dangerous mission, and I could lose my life at any moment, it was still better than being a prisoner and being tortured every day.

However, because Yamashiro Aoba was Hiruzen Sarutobi's confidant, even though he showed a good attitude in admitting his mistakes and sincerely repented, he was never released.

In cell number 13 of the Jia class, Yamashiro Aoba's collarbone was locked, and his body was branded with a seal, making it impossible for him to mobilize even a tiny bit of chakra.

It can be said that the Class A cells in the Konoha Interrogation Department are filled with highly skilled and dangerous ninjas, and the level of security they are under is astonishing.

With his chakra sealed and his collarbone locked, the prisoner had no chance of escaping from here on his own without someone working from the inside.

"Hey!"

The guard called out to Yamashiro Aoba, "Raise your head, Lord Ming is coming!"

When he first heard the guard calling his name, Yamashiro Aoba didn't even bother to lift his head. But when the name "Hatake Akira" reached his ears, Yamashiro Aoba immediately perked up.

"Master Ming!"

Suddenly looking up, the withered face of the mountain city's green leaves shone with an unusual radiance, and its eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Are you here... to take me out of here?"

“Of course.” Akira Hatake nodded. “If I hadn’t brought you out, I wouldn’t have bothered coming to a place like this.”

"Thank you, thank you, Lord Ming!!"

Yamashiro Aoba pouted, his voice trembling, and two lines of tears streamed down his cheeks.

"Don't thank me yet."

Akira waved his hand dismissively, showing no remorse despite Aoba Yamashiro's behavior. "If you want to leave here, you'll naturally have to pay the price."

"Lord Ming, I'll pay any price as long as I can get out of here!"

Even your life?

"Yes! Even if it costs me my life."

Yamashiro Aoba didn't hesitate at all. In his heart, staying in the Konoha interrogation department's prison was worse than death.

At least once you're out of prison, even if you die, you'll die in a free environment, which is a hundred or a thousand times better than suffocating here!

"it is good."

Akira Hatake then smiled and nodded, turning to the guards standing behind him. "Remove the shackles from Aoba Yamashiro, wash him clean, change his clothes, and then bring him to see me."

"Yes, Master Ming!"

After issuing the order to release Yamashiro Aoba, Hatake Akira left cell A and wheeled himself outside to wait.

About fifteen minutes later, Yamashiro Aoba, staggering, was brought before Hatake Akira by the guards.

"Lord Ming."

"Well, come with me."

Seeing that Aoba Yamashiro was only slightly weak and otherwise healthy, Akira Hatake was completely relieved.

With a casual wave of his hand, a spatial passage appeared in front of Akira Hatake, and the two of them walked into the spatial passage one after the other and disappeared.

"Sigh, I wish I could have even a tenth of Lord Ming's strength someday..."

The guard at the gate looked at his companion and couldn't help but sigh.

"You can forget about it for the rest of your life. It would be quite good if you could reach the level of a Jonin."

Another guard poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Perform well and accumulate more merits so that you can build up some wealth for your descendants."

"When you or your descendants have the opportunity to select advanced ninjutsu from the ninjutsu library, then you won't be far from soaring to the top."

Akira Hatake was unaware of the discussion between the two guards. The next second, he led Aoba Yamashiro to Orochimaru's testing base.

"Dou, come here for a second."

"Lord Ming, what are your orders?"

Kabuto jogged over, stood in front of Akira Hatake, and bowed to him very respectfully.

Because Yakushi Nonou did not die, Yakushi Kabuto's personality is not like that in the original timeline.

Furthermore, due to Sakumo Hatake's sponsorship of the orphanage, Kabuto Yakushi has a special fondness for the Hatake clan and naturally holds Akira Hatake in the highest esteem.

"Help Yamashiro Aoba treat his injuries, and try to get him back to his prime as quickly as possible."

"I understand, Lord Ming."

"Yamashiro Aoba, come with me."

Kabuto led Aoba Yamashiro away to another laboratory, and Akira Hatake finally had some free time.

Hatake Akira, in his wheelchair, came to Orochimaru's side and watched Orochimaru perform various operations next to the culture tank.

"Wise ruler, you're back so soon?"

After Orochimaru finished tidying up, he finally had time to talk to Akira Hatake. "You're really magnanimous. Aren't you afraid that Aoba Yamashiro still harbors resentment?"

"Afraid? Why are you afraid?"

Akira Hatake shook his head dismissively, "Even if Aoba Yamashiro turns the world upside down, I'm confident I can suppress him in no time."

"Therefore, people only consider human nature when they are at the same level of strength. Once the difference in strength between the two is too great, who would bother to think about it and worry about this and that?"

"I was too naive."

"By the way, Orochimaru, Shisui's current state... does it mean that the 'forced ripening' has already begun?"

Akira Hatake didn't talk much with Orochimaru about Aoba Yamashiro, but instead pointed to Shisui Uchiha, who was already immersed in the culture tank.

"Yes, it has already started, and it's being carried out very smoothly."

Orochimaru nodded, his gaze sweeping over Uchiha Shisui in the incubation tank. "The Uchiha clan truly is a chosen one. They've produced quite a few geniuses in recent generations!"

Orochimaru turned his gaze back to Akira Hatake, "Akira, if you don't hurry up, I believe the Sixth or Seventh Hokage will definitely have a place in the Uchiha clan."
