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

Akira Hatake was naturally not intimidated by the Fire Country Daimyo's imposing presence. He sat casually in his chair and looked at the Fire Country Daimyo in the main seat.

"Akira Hatake, I wonder what brings you here this time...?"

"My name is Daimyo, I have come here today because of the promise I made to you back then."

"Oh? So... the day I become emperor isn't far off?"

The daimyo leaned forward, looking at Akira Hatake with a barely perceptible glint of longing in his eyes.

A daimyo is still a daimyo. Although he rules over a country, it can't compare to the satisfaction of directly unifying the ninja world and becoming its first emperor.

"Yes, it will be about a year and a half."

"really?"

“Of course it is true.” Akira Hatake nodded.

"Then what do you need me to do?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Although Konoha is the military power of the Land of Fire, the way the two get along is quite subtle.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire can indeed influence some of Konoha's policies, and even most of its finances.

However, if they deliberately target Konoha without any reason, then sorry, these ninjas with superhuman strength will let the Daimyo of the Land of Fire know what it means to have the biggest fist.

Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was very cautious when dealing with Akira Hatake, and his words were also more sincere.

"Daimyo, you only need to gather your army. After all, the ninja world is so vast that Konoha's tens of thousands of ninja troops simply cannot manage it all."

"what do you mean……"

"You should recruit soldiers, Your Excellency."

Akira Hatake smiled at the daimyo of the Land of Fire and revealed the purpose of his visit.

As Akira Hatake said, the ninja world is vast, and it is difficult to manage by Konoha alone. Even if everyone were mobilized, it would not be enough.

Therefore, it is at this time that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire must make his appearance.

Of course, besides this, Akira Hatake had a second requirement.

That means money!

Money had become something dispensable to Akira Hatake; with his own strength, he could become incredibly wealthy in no time.

But Konoha is different; there are many places where money is needed, especially for Orochimaru, that spendthrift.

Scientific research is very expensive. In the past two years, Orochimaru has burned through nearly 20 billion ryo in research funds, which is equivalent to the annual income of some medium-sized ninja villages.

Orochimaru spends so much money, so Akira Hatake naturally has to cut back on expenses and increase revenue. If he doesn't take advantage of the daimyo of the Land of Fire this time, he would be doing himself a disservice.

"I will put the recruitment on the agenda as soon as possible. Is there anything else I can do to help with?"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire is, after all, the leader of the Land of Fire. Although he lives a life of luxury, he is still quite perceptive about certain things.

Before Akira Hatake could even ask for it, he took the initiative to inquire.

"Daimyo, if you could allocate more silver to Konoha, I think the process of unifying the ninja world could be much faster."

"How much do you want?" Without a word, Daimyo asked Hatake Akira to name his price.

Akira Hatake tilted his head and smiled, then held up three fingers and waved them in front of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Three hundred million? I'll take it right away..."

"No, it's 30 billion."

"30 billion?" The daimyo of the Land of Fire stared wide-eyed at Akira Hatake in disbelief.

"Yes, you heard right, it's 30 billion."

"Okay, here you go!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire glared at Akira Hatake through gritted teeth, then nodded in agreement.

30 billion!

but……

Compared to the allure of unifying the ninja world and becoming the number one emperor, the mere 30 billion rupees was a painful price to pay, but the daimyo of the Land of Fire had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

Although the daimyo of the Land of Fire always stayed in the daimyo's mansion, he was very familiar with some people and things in the ninja world.

In particular, they knew the names of some of the famous ninjas in the Land of Fire very well.

Akira Hatake's reputation had already spread throughout the entire ninja world due to his brilliant achievements during the Third Shinobi World War, and there was no reason why the Daimyo of the Land of Fire should not know him.

Furthermore, due to his status as the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he was more aware than most of the extent of Hatake Akira's current strength.

If Akira Hatake were willing, he could become the next God of Shinobi, and probably no one in the entire ninja world would disagree.

With the daimyo of the Land of Fire being so pragmatic, Akira Hatake had no reason to launch an attack.

"Dai-ming, thank you for your generosity."

"For the Land of Fire, for the Ninja World," the Daimyo said, suppressing his heartache, uttering these grand words.

Akira Hatake smiled silently at this. None of these politicians had clean hearts…

But this is good, it saves him a lot of trouble.

"By the way, sir, besides fulfilling the contract, I also want your second promise today."

"Just tell me, and I'll agree as long as there are no major problems."

The Fire Country Daimyo spoke eloquently, but Hatake Akira wouldn't take it to heart. The promise he wanted was one that the Fire Country Daimyo had to agree to whether he wanted to or not.

"Daimyo, after the ninja world is unified in the future, I plan to establish the Ninja Clan."

"Ninja Sect? You mean..."

“It means exactly what it says.” Akira Hatake finally revealed his true intentions. “I plan to make Konoha a holy land for ninjas in the ninja world.”

"This……"

Daimyo's eyes darted around, and he hesitated for a moment. He really didn't want to agree to Hatake Akira's request.

Those who become famous are generally not incompetent or useless; even if they are, they have far more knowledge and experience than the average person.

It's impossible to guess all of Hatake Akira's plans from the Land of Fire's daimyo, but it's not a problem to get a general idea.

Akira Hatake's ultimate goal was very straightforward: to make Konoha a super "sect" in the ninja world.

By that day, the "divine right of kings" would be an indisputable fact.

"Let me think about it."

"it is good."

Akira Hatake didn't rush him, because he knew the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would definitely agree.

As expected, after a short while, the daimyo of the Land of Fire looked up at Akira Hatake and nodded at him.

"I agreed, but I also need your promise."

"Please tell me."

"The person who succeeds me in this position must be a direct descendant of me."

"No problem, this is a matter of principle, Konoha will not interfere."

"That's for the best." The daimyo of the Land of Fire closed his eyes, then opened them again after a few seconds. "I don't know if my descendants will blame me for doing this."

"Why blame me?" Akira Hatake shrugged. "The problem of descendants is their problem, it has nothing to do with you."

"Even if problems arise in the future, no one will blame you. After all, you are the first person in the ninja world to become an emperor."

Akira Hatake is quite adept at making grand promises: "In the future, you will become the number one emperor in the ninja world, just like the Goddess of the Rabbit and the Sage of Six Paths!"

"OK!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire slapped his chair, making a loud noise; his palm was probably red from slapping it.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I have laid a huge foundation for them, and that is enough."

"Correct."

Akira Hatake smiled and nodded. All his previous ideas had finally been basically realized today.

This "divine right of kings" model is exactly the same as the relationship between cultivation sects and secular dynasties in the cultivation world.

In the future, Konoha will only focus on training powerful ninjas, leaving logistics entirely to the emperors of the human world.

This ensures the deterrent effect of their powerful military force and also prevents ninjas from becoming nothing more than killing machines.

Moreover, this would ensure that ninjas would have an absolutely superior status, which would indirectly point out a path for advancement in the ninja world, making conflicts after the unification of the ninja world smaller and thus avoiding some major conflicts.

However, Hatake knew that this system still needed improvement, and that it might even lead to a war in the future.

But then again, Akira Hatake can't fully predict the future, so he should just focus on the present.

After chatting for a while, Akira Hatake got up to say goodbye.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire wanted to keep Akira Hatake there and host a banquet for him, but Akira Hatake declined, citing his busy schedule with Konoha's affairs.

In front of the Fire Country Daimyo, Akira Hatake opened a spatial portal, took a step, and disappeared before the Fire Country Daimyo's eyes.

"Alas... Even if one's name is etched in history, one still needs to be restrained. The real winner... is Konoha, is Akira Hatake."

After Akira Hatake left, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire sighed softly, looking rather forlorn.

……

After returning to Konoha, Akira Hatake put the matter of the Fire Country Daimyo out of his mind.

"It's been so long since I've seen Kurenai Yuhi..."

Akira Hatake looked in the direction of the Yuhi clan's residence and started walking towards it.

"Lord Ming."

"Good afternoon, Lord Ming."

"Lord Ming, it's been a long time."

When Akira Hatake enters the Yuhi clan's territory, the clan members all stop to greet him.

Akira Hatake didn't put on airs and greeted them with a smile quite naturally.
