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

Akira Hatake made up his mind and turned his head to quietly watch Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura.

"Brother, even if Akira Hatake can't solve the trouble he's caused, won't we still be there for him in the end?"

"Hamura, you... sigh!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki suddenly sighed, then looked up at Akira Hatake, "You can take the Divine Tree seed, but if you dare to replant the Divine Tree in the ninja world, I will definitely not let you off easily."

"Old man in feathered robes, don't worry, I would never do anything that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."

Akira Hatake was naturally overjoyed to be able to avoid fighting Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Having already secured all the benefits, making a promise was all that was needed; for Akira Hatake, it was incredibly simple.

"Huh, that's the best!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki glanced at Akira Hatake one last time, then looked back at his younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, and said, "Hamura, come back to the Pure Land with me."

"Okay, brother."

Their bodies faded and quickly disappeared from Akira Hatake's sight.

"I really don't understand what Otsutsuki Hamura is up to..."

Akira Hatake shook his head. He couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to waste his brain cells on it. The two Otsutsuki brothers, Hagoromo and Otsutsuki, had a very good attitude towards the ninja world, and no one could find fault with that.

Once this was clear, Akira Hatake knew that the two had no ill intentions and naturally wasn't worried that they would plot against him in secret.

Who knows, when the Otsutsuki clan from outer space descends upon the ninja world, these two brothers might have to come out and help.

Having avoided a fierce battle, Akira Hatake naturally had no intention of staying there any longer.

Although the immortal techniques passed down by the ancient behemoths were not found, a single seed from a divine tree was enough to make up for Akira Hatake's "appearance fee" for this trip, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

With a casual wave of his hand, he opened a spatial passage, stepped inside, and instantly arrived in Konoha.

After returning to Konoha, Akira Hatake didn't stop, and soon arrived at Orochimaru's research base.

Having found Orochimaru, Akira Hatake cut to the chase: "Orochimaru, how's the 'forced maturation' plan going?"

"We've been waiting for you, and you've arrived just in time."

Orochimaru looked up from the experimental table and smiled at Akira Hatake. "Come with me. I can tell you're getting impatient."

Akira Hatake did not refute, and followed Orochimaru to the huge culture tank where Shisui Uchiha was.

The originally turbid culture medium in the culture tank has become clear, and Uchiha Shisui, who was lying naked in it, has grown quite a bit taller, roughly estimated to be about 1.7 meters.

Of course, besides his height, Uchiha Jutsu's originally youthful face had also matured considerably, and anyone who looked at him would think that Uchiha Shisui was an adult male.

"Wise ruler, are you satisfied?"

“I trust you to handle things.” Akira Hatake nodded, then asked, “Orochimaru, what should I do next?”

"It's very simple."

Orochimaru snapped his fingers. "I remember your special ability, Myo-kun, is that you can penetrate objects and connect to people. Am I right?"

"No, it's practically an open secret." Akira Hatake shrugged, already understanding what Orochimaru meant.

"Shall I connect to Uchiha Shisui using the chakra chain now?"

Orochimaru nodded, and Akira Hatake casually raised his hand, connecting a purplish-red chakra chain to Shisui Uchiha in the cultivation tank.

"My lord, you just need to focus on infusing Uchiha Shisui with life energy. Leave the rest to me."

"Ah."

Akira Hatake nodded, and 0.75 seconds later, a ball of extremely pure and condensed chakra light surged into Shisui Uchiha's body along the purplish-red chakra chain.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, who was standing next to Akira Hatake, also made a move.

With his fingers flying across the keyboard, Orochimaru pressed the command button next to the culture tank. The complex and tedious operation made Akira Hatake frown.

Computers exist in the Naruto world, but Akira Hatake has had little contact with them, doesn't know much about them, and has no desire to explore them.

"Okay."

After working for a while, Orochimaru nodded to Akira Hatake, "Once the culture medium is drained, Shisui Uchiha can go and carry out the mission you assigned."

"Then make arrangements for Kaguya Kimimaro as soon as possible. I'll take Uchiha Shisui with me first."

"Mingjun..."

Orochimaru looked troubled. "Kimimaro's body is showing signs of bloodstain disease, I'm worried..."

"So young and already has bloodstain disease?"

"There are only signs, but if the 'forced maturity' plan is implemented or the bloodline limit is overused, it may worsen or even erupt directly."

"Then what do you mean..."

“When I was “force-ripening” Kimimaro, I hoped that a wise ruler would be present at all times.”

“That’s fine.” Akira Hatake nodded in agreement.

Chapter 344 The Unification of the Ninja World in Progress. (Happy New Year's Eve everyone!)

Akira Hatake was present the whole time while Kimimaro was being "forced to mature," so no major problems arose.

Because of his third skill, Kimimaro's symptoms of Bloodstained Disease were not only suppressed, but his Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit also improved significantly.

This is a good thing, and it can be said that Kimimaro has escaped the fate of dying young.

However, although Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit has improved, it is still a long way from the true All-Killing Ash Bones bloodline limit.

There's nothing we can do about it. Although the Kaguya clan has a trace of Kaguya Otsutsuki's bloodline, compared to the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha clans, the Kaguya clan's bloodline is extremely thin.

According to Akira Hatake's deduction, Kimimaro would need to meet many conditions to evolve Shikotsumyaku into the All-Killing Ash Bones Kekkei Genkai.

First, Kimimaro's life energy must be comparable to that of a Celestial Body; otherwise, his body would not be able to withstand the backlash from the All-Killing Ash Bone Bloodline Limit, and he would likely die halfway through his evolution.

However, in this respect, Akira Hatake's powerful third skill, "Tai Gua: Longevity," can make up for Kimimaro's shortcomings. As long as Akira Hatake patiently infuses Kimimaro with a large amount of life energy, Kimimaro's bloodline limit will definitely have the potential to evolve.

However, besides this point, there is another very important one.

One yang cannot grow alone, nor can one yin give birth alone. Even if Kimimaro had enough life energy in his body, it would not be enough to support the evolution of the Corpse Bone Pulse into the All-Killing Ash Bones. Kimimaro also needed to have enough Yin Release chakra.

In other words, Jumaro must achieve the unity of Yin and Yang in order to meet the conditions for evolution.

Finally, there was nothing Akira Hatake could do. He was able to successfully condense his Yin-attribute chakra only by relying on the Nara clan's shadow techniques.

He did want to teach it to Kimimaro, but the Nara clan's shadow techniques were not his, and Akira Hatake couldn't just spread them around.

Akira Hatake's idea was simple: after Kimimaro completed the task he had assigned, he would find an opportunity to communicate with the Nara clan and see if he could pull some strings.

Of course, if the Nara clan disagrees, Akira Hatake has a second option, but that second option still depends on Orochimaru.

With Akira Hatake's support, Orochimaru has perfected the technology of creating clones, and he can completely replicate various bloodline limits without side effects.

At that time, Akira Hatake can communicate with the Uchiha clan. Perhaps they can agree to let Kimimaro transplant Orochimaru's Sharingan, which combines Kimimaro's bloodline with the Uchiha clan's bloodline.

Compared to the Nara clan, the Uchiha clan, while not entirely obedient to Akira Hatake, is still willing to follow his arrangements as long as there is no harm or only minor harm.

The Uchiha clan knew that only by clinging to Akira Hatake could they hope to rise again, and even have a chance to become the Fifth or Sixth Hokage.

Furthermore, Akira Hatake is also a benefactor of the Uchiha clan, and based on that alone, his words carry considerable weight.

After planning Kimimaro's future path to advancement, Akira Hatake led Shisui Uchiha, Kimimaro Kaguya, and Aoba Yamashiro to Amegakure.

"Obito, I'm leaving these three to you."

"They have great potential. With a little training, they can unleash strength comparable to Kage-level. Now you shouldn't be short of manpower anymore."

Akira pointed to the three people behind him and introduced them to Obito Uchiha, who nodded in satisfaction.

"Ming, when does the plan begin?"

After carefully observing the three of them for a few moments, Obito Uchiha looked at Akira Hatake with a hint of impatience.

Although he could live as a local tyrant in Amegakure, Obito Uchiha, having already escaped the darkness, still longed to return to Konoha.

Even if he could endure being in darkness, he still had to give Nohara Rin an explanation in the end, and he couldn't let her live her whole life in darkness with him in a daze.

"You can decide for yourself."

Akira Hatake didn't interfere much, after all, he was only the planner, and the actual implementation was up to Obito Uchiha.

What will happen after January?

"can."

"Alright!" Obito Uchiha's eyes flashed coldly. "I'll start by attacking Kirigakure a month from now!"

Hearing Obito Uchiha's murderous words, Akira Hatake shook his head. Kirigakure was in big trouble.

However, Akira Hatake understood Obito Uchiha's thoughts and did not refute him, but nodded and let him go.

As long as Obito Uchiha's Akatsuki organization can cause considerable turmoil in the ninja world, and the four great hidden villages are severely weakened, Konoha should step in to restore order.

In that case, it won't be Konoha launching the Fourth Shinobi World War, but the other four great hidden villages begging Akira Hatake to join the Konoha family.

After giving a few more instructions, Hatake Akira bid farewell to Uchiha Obito and returned to Konoha.

With the "Ninja World Unification" plan still a month away from implementation, Akira Hatake couldn't just sit idle. He still needed to study the divine tree seed that he had sealed away.

Moreover, Akira Hatake also has to go to Ryuchi Cave to bring Jiraiya back.

"Sigh, when will this toil ever end!"

Akira Hatake was helpless, but that was all he could do. Unless the overall situation was settled, he would hardly have any free time.

……

One month later.

With the "Ninja World Unification" plan officially implemented, the Akatsuki organization led by Obito Uchiha truly revealed its fangs, and Kirigakure was the first to suffer.

Because of the "Village of Blood Mist," Kirigakure has suffered a severe blow and is currently in a period of transition.

The top combat strength of Kirigakure is passable, but the combat strength of the youths and teenagers varies greatly.

And let's not forget that Yagura Karatachi is still under Obito Uchiha's control, and Mei Terumi's clan has not yet launched a coup. Therefore, Yagura Karatachi is still the undisputed Mizukage of Kirigakure.

As a result, Akatsuki's sabotage operations against Kirigakure went very smoothly, and after several harassments, Kirigakure suffered heavy losses.

However, apart from Kirigakure Village being extremely troubled, the other four major hidden villages were actually happy to see this happen; the worse their potential competitors fared, the happier they were.
