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

"Hurry up, why should we hurry?"

Akira Hatake tilted his head. "There's not much of a problem with the Uchiha becoming Hokage. In fact, it's a good thing for Konoha."

"Wise ruler, don't you ever think of letting the Hatake clan dominate the entire Hidden Leaf Village?"

"Domination? Isn't cooperation and win-win outcomes better?"

Akira Hatake shook his head again, feeling that Orochimaru was acting strangely today. "This has always been my principle: a person who is too domineering will have no friends."

"Those who follow the righteous path will find many supporters, while those who stray from it will find few. Unless you are confident that you are strong enough to be the only one who can stand alone, it is better to honestly engage in cooperation."

"Ha, you are a wise ruler who is open-minded. And I am also very glad that I became friends with you back then."

"Orochimaru, something's off with you today. What exactly are you trying to say?"

"It's nothing, just a thought," Orochimaru chuckled. "I was wondering what I would be like now if I had attacked Kakashi back then."

During the Third Shinobi World War, Orochimaru considered taking action against Kakashi, who was slightly weaker, as a research subject to indirectly find out about Akira Hatake's background.

However, Kakashi and Akira's growth rate was astonishing. Before Orochimaru could make up his mind, he found that he was no match for either of the brothers in a one-on-one fight.

This feeling was very irritating, but some of Akira Hatake's later actions made Orochimaru put away his previous ulterior motives.

"Orochimaru, if you had actually done that back then... no matter how many ways you could save your life, you would have been completely wiped out."

"That's why I'm so glad to be friends with you, wise and sagacious ruler."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Alright, Akira, let's not talk about these things for now. Come here, I'll show you something good."

good stuff?

Akira Hatake was startled. Could it be that Orochimaru had made another research breakthrough?

With doubts in his mind, Akira Hatake followed Orochimaru into a rather small laboratory.

As soon as he entered, Akira Hatake saw the fully enclosed culture tank placed in the center of the laboratory.

"Is this your prized possession?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Orochimaru, with a proud look on his face, couldn't help but reach out and pat the outer shell of the culture tank.

"This contains the ultimate experimental subject of my 'God-Making Project'!"

"Your plan to create a god has succeeded?"

"So fast?"

"really?"

Akira Hatake's three consecutive questions made Orochimaru's already upturned lips curl up even more wildly; he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling at that moment.

In terms of scientific research, no one in the entire ninja world is stronger than him!

"Although it's not completely successful yet, it's more than halfway there. I just need to inject three more essential items, and I'll succeed!"

"What else do you need?" Akira Hatake asked, frowning.

Based on Orochimaru's previous foreshadowing and his current words, Akira Hatake had reason to believe that Orochimaru was about to make a request of him.

As expected, Orochimaru's next words revealed his true intentions.

"Wise ruler, we're friends, right?"

"Don't try to get close to me yet. Tell me what else you need."

"The ultimate Yin Release, the ultimate Yang Release, and Sage Chakra."

"So, do you have a plan yet?" Hatake Akira wasn't going to fall for the trap easily; he wanted Orochimaru to tell him himself.

"Have it already."

Orochimaru was well aware of Akira Hatake's ulterior motives, but he didn't care, because Akira Hatake had also been coveting this plan for a long time.

"The ultimate Yin Release can be replaced by Black Zetsu, while the ultimate Yang Release can separate a Tailed Beast. However, the final Sage Chakra will require the help of a wise ruler."

"It's not just the last item that needs my help, is it?"

Akira Hatake rolled his eyes. "Although Black Zetsu is a creation formed from the ultimate Yin Release, he has consciousness but no soul."

"This is difficult to handle. Do you have a solution?"

"Moreover, what you're talking about—separating all of a Tailed Beast's Yang Release chakra—is extremely difficult. Tailed Beasts won't cooperate with you so easily."

"It will take just as much effort to achieve this goal as it did for the first one."

"As for the last necessary condition, I can certainly meet it. Not only me, but Kakashi, the teacher, and Jiraiya can also meet it for you."

"Orochimaru, tell me, do you really only need me to help you with this last thing?"

"Haha, wise ruler!" Orochimaru laughed heartily. "As expected, you understand me best. Since you've said so, I won't beat around the bush."

"I need your help with the final three steps of my god-making plan, and the sooner the better!"

"Ugh... Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?!"

Akira Hatake slapped his forehead, his face full of worry. "The Kara organization has already given me a lot of trouble, and with your god-making plan on top of that, I really can't take it anymore!"

"A wise ruler, your efforts will not have been in vain."

Orochimaru began to promise Hatake Akira, "If the God-Making Project ultimately succeeds, then I will entrust this first test subject to you. What do you think, Akira?"

"you sure?!"

"determine."

"Alright, once I've finished my urgent matters, I'll complete the final three elements of your god-making plan!"

"It's a deal?"

Orochimaru extended his right palm.

"A word is settled!"

Akira Hatake also extended his right palm and slammed it together heavily with Orochimaru's right palm.

Chapter 340 Taking Jiraiya through the White Snake Sage's back door.

At first, Akira Hatake was not interested in Orochimaru's god-making plan.

He himself doesn't need it, and Akira Hatake doesn't want to change bodies at will like Orochimaru.

Why would you want to replace your own body with someone else's if it's working perfectly fine on your own?

In terms of chakra reserves, Akira Hatake is currently unmatched in the ninja world; and in terms of his own abilities, he is even less likely to give up.

As for bloodlines, Akira Hatake is now on par with the Sage of Six Paths. If he has any descendants in the future, they will definitely inherit all of his abilities.

Then why would you need to change bodies?

However, just because Akira Hatake himself doesn't use it doesn't mean that others don't, such as Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha was an absolute genius. Even Hashirama Senju was inferior to Madara in Akira Hatake's mind.

Because of Orochimaru's previous soul experiment, Madara Uchiha's soul was summoned and sealed in a powerless clone.

Having learned the truth about the ninja world and agreed to join forces with Akira Hatake to fight against the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens, Madara Uchiha now only has two ways to revive.

One option is a one-for-one trade, and the other is to create a highly reliable replica.

Using the Rinnegan to its limit for a one-for-one trade is possible, but Akira Hatake still felt that Madara Uchiha's previous body was still somewhat lacking.

If Orochimaru's plan to create a god fails, Akira Hatake will not hesitate to choose the first method of resurrecting Madara Uchiha.

However, if Orochimaru's god-making plan succeeds, then Akira Hatake will definitely lean towards the latter.

Imagine the soul of Madara Uchiha, his combat skills and experience, combined with a body comparable to Kaguya Otsutsuki... the result would be...

Let alone Kaguya Otsutsuki, even if Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki teamed up, Madara Uchiha would very likely still be able to defeat them!

Thinking of this, Akira Hatake felt a surge of excitement. Madara Uchiha was definitely the main DPS that every support player dreamed of.

Moreover, Madara Uchiha's personality flaws, or rather his ideals, are very similar to Akira Hatake's, and the two of them together will definitely create a unique spark.

With excitement, Akira Hatake left Orochimaru's testing base.

For the time being, Shisui Uchiha's "forced maturation" plan doesn't require Akira Hatake, so he can only take advantage of this time to find something else to do.

Stepping out of the spatial passage, Akira Hatake silently appeared behind Jiraiya.

"Someone's peeping into the women's bathhouse!!!" Akira Hatake shouted at the top of his lungs.

"what!!!"

"Help!!!"

"Which pervert peeked at me while I was taking a bath? I'll scratch his face until it's bruised and battered!"

As soon as Akira Hatake shouted, a series of shrill screams and curses rang out from the women's bathhouse.

Then, just like a startled rabbit, he suddenly jumped up and landed behind Akira Hatake, covering his mouth with his hand.

"Ming! Stop shouting! I wasn't peeking, I was just gathering material!"

After saying that, Jiraiya, with his sharp eyes, saw someone rushing out of the women's bathroom. Without thinking of anything else, he grabbed Hatake Akira, carried his wheelchair, and used a Body Flicker Technique to leave the spot.

"Ming, do you know you almost killed me just now?!"

Once they reached a safe location, Jiraiya looked down at Akira Hatake, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

It has to be said that being strong is a good thing. Not only is it convenient to do bad things, but it also makes it very quick to escape after the fact.

Akira Hatake broke free from Jiraiya's hand covering his mouth and stared at Jiraiya with a smile.

"Heh, Master Jiraiya, I don't know if I'll live or die, but you're definitely going to die."

"If you hadn't shouted, how could I have gotten into trouble?"

Judging from Jiraiya's words, he showed absolutely no remorse.

This is actually normal. Jiraiya has been like this since he was a child, and he hasn't changed at all. Even if he knows that Tsunade hates this, he won't change in the slightest.

This is just human nature, it can't be changed!

"Master Jiraiya, I think you should put aside the research for now and focus on improving your own strength."
