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

Minato Namikaze's implication was clear: his Team 8 was only responsible for completing their assigned tasks, and the rest of the messy affairs had nothing to do with Team 8 or Konoha.

"Thank you for your trouble, Minato Namikaze." The Grass Village ninja who came to hand over the mission and intelligence gave Minato Namikaze a deep look, his face full of displeasure.

"I will remember you, Team 8 of Konoha!"

After saying that, the ninja led the last remaining intelligence ninja away without looking back.

Of course, before leaving, a mission completion receipt was handed to Minato Namikaze.

"This mission is over. Although there were some twists and turns, it was a success." Minato Namikaze put away the mission receipt. "We still have plenty of time left. If you want to travel around the Land of Grass, I can give you a day off."

Minato Namikaze had considered things very carefully. Apart from him and Kakashi, Akira Hatake and Might Guy in Team 8 were seeing blood for the first time, so proper relaxation after the mission was necessary.

However, no one echoed Minato Namikaze's good intentions.

Although Akira Hatake is playful and somewhat lazy, this mission is fraught with intrigue, which makes him somewhat worried about Sakumo Hatake in Konoha.

Kakashi was the same; they were so eager to go home that they had no intention of lingering any longer.

Matt Kay, on the other hand, is a very easygoing person. With his strong self-regulation ability, killing someone doesn't cause him much psychological trauma.

Moreover, given Might Guy's youthful ideals, playing and relaxing would be a desecration of his youth, far less practical than training and sweat.

"Teacher, I think we should forget about it. This mission has greatly improved me, and I need to consolidate my knowledge as soon as possible." Akira Hatake didn't hesitate and made up an excuse to refuse directly.

"Minato-sensei, I think so too." Might Guy scratched his head. "Youth shouldn't be wasted on playing around. The main theme of youth is sweat and passion!"

"Alright, in that case, let's go back to the village!"

With a wave of his hand, Minato Namikaze led Class 8 on their journey back to the village.

However, in the instant Minato Namikaze turned around, Akira Hatake still caught a glimpse of something unnatural on Minato's face.

"Never mind, I'll talk to the teacher separately when I have time to rest."

Having made up his mind, Akira Hatake followed closely behind Minato Namikaze, using the free time to calmly plan how to spend his gold coins.

When faced with the first wave of ambushes, Akira Hatake had already spent all the assist coins provided by Minato Namikaze. However, in the third wave, Minato Namikaze, with his full firepower, truly brought Akira Hatake another bountiful harvest.

2031.

This is Akira Hatake's current gold coin balance, which is enough for him to buy another large item from the equipment shop.

With such a substantial amount of resources this time, Akira Hatake also considered buying some small items to give to some familiar ninjas in order to earn a large amount of assist coins.

But upon closer reflection, this path to wealth is not very realistic for Akira Hatake at this stage.

First of all, the equipment attributes in the equipment shop, even a small piece of equipment, can have an immediate and significant boost to a ninja, with effects comparable to divine artifacts.

It's understandable if one or two ninjas possess equipment from the equipment shop, but if the number increases, or if someone accidentally lets it slip, then Akira Hatake's situation will be extremely dangerous.

Before he possesses overwhelming strength, Akira Hatake has very few options. The number of people who can provide him with equipment without any worries can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, Akira Hatake's priority right now is to improve himself.

After a moment's thought, Akira Hatake selected his preferred equipment.

[Scholar's Wrath: Due to the influence of the Naruto world, the attributes of this equipment have changed:]

When manifested and carried, it increases the user's ninjutsu talent by 24%.

Passive - Destruction: When the user unleashes a ninjutsu, the power of all types of ninjutsu will be increased by 30%.

Since Akira Hatake had already purchased two large clubs, he only needed to spend another 660 gold coins to acquire this large item.

After purchasing the Rabadon's Deathcap, Akira Hatake had 1371 gold left.

[Rapid Combat Boots: Due to the influence of the Naruto world, the attributes of this equipment have changed in reverse:]

When manifested and carried, it will increase the user's reaction speed, attack speed, and movement speed by 25%.

Passive - Swiftness: The user gains an additional 6% movement speed bonus while moving.

The shoes were the second piece of finished equipment that Akira Hatake planned to buy.

Not only is it inexpensive, costing only 710 gold coins to grant Akira Hatake a significant boost, but it also provides a percentage increase in "three speeds," greatly enhancing his ability to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The speed of nerve reaction alone is enough to define the Boots of Speed ​​as a divine piece of equipment that perfectly complements the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Thus, Akira Hatake only had 661 gold coins left to spend.

Without a second thought, Akira Hatake found a buyer for the remaining gold coins.

He wanted to buy two books of spellcasting to give to Kakashi.

Kakashi's strength is still a bit lacking, and Akira Hatake wouldn't mind giving him a speed boost. It's all about keeping the benefits within the family.

Chapter 63: Detailed data on the three skills.

In addition to the substantial gold coin rewards from this mission, Akira Hatake also gained a significant amount of skill experience from assisting in kills and from his own kills.

As mentioned earlier, Akira Hatake's current total skill level is level four, and after this mission, he has three more skill points to allocate.

However, the specific allocation of skill points still needs to follow the skill upgrade path in Honor of Kings, which is somewhat unsatisfactory for Akira Hatake.

However, with these three skill points, there is no doubt that they will bring a very substantial increase in the basic stats of Akira Hatake's skills.

Following the skill upgrade path, Akira Hatake allocated two skill points to the first skill, Lin Gua: Worry-Free.

【Lin Hexagram - Worry-Free: The current skill level is 4. Detailed skill description is as follows:】

连接队友：增加27%的物理攻击、29%的忍术攻击、15%的移动速度、24%的神经反射速度、24%的攻击速度。

连接敌人：减少敌人27%的物理攻击、29%的忍术攻击、20%的移动速度、10%的神经反射速度以及10%的攻击速度。

When connected to an enemy, every 0.5 seconds, the user will deal mixed damage equal to 17% of their base strength to the enemy, and deal an additional 100% damage to other enemies that touch the chakra chain.

Self-Enhancement: Increases all bonus values ​​by 2/3 based on the user's original base strength (this bonus will not be removed after the chain is broken), and increases the user's reflex speed and movement speed by 15%.

After silently and carefully reading through the detailed introduction of the first skill twice, Akira Hatake's face lit up with joy.

Once the skill level reaches level 4, the first skill, regardless of its support capabilities, provides a very pleasing boost to Akira Hatake in terms of both damage to enemies and the increase in his own strength.

It's worth mentioning that Akira Hatake is currently focusing on improving his own strength, while selectively reducing his support abilities.

If you're playing a support role, you should allocate most of your skill points to your second skill, rather than your first skill.

The main stat boost from the second skill is to enhance the support capabilities of Hatake Akira's chakra chain.

【Shi Gua - Flying Wings: The current skill level is 2. Detailed skill description is as follows:】

Switch the color of the chakra chain to change the effect of [Lin Gua · Wuyou] on the target.

Defense Change Status: Increases/decreases the physical defense and ninjutsu defense of connected allies/enemies by 32%, and strengthens own physical defense and ninjutsu defense by 60% of base stats.

Although the description of the second skill is a bit mind-bending, upon closer inspection, its potential is still enviable.

Keep in mind that the second skill is currently only at level two. If Akira Hatake invests his skill points primarily in the second skill, the percentage increase in various attributes he provides to his teammates will take a significant leap forward.

The same applies to reducing the percentage of each attribute of the enemy.

According to Akira Hatake's own estimate, if the current second skill is level 4, the percentage increase in various attributes when assisting teammates will reach 60% or more.

If the second skill is maxed out, the stat boost for teammates will exceed 100%, and the weakness effect on enemies will be roughly the same.

Over time, Akira Hatake could directly help Jonin become Kage-level shinobi, and when dealing with enemy Kage-level shinobi, he could weaken them down to Jonin level.

This is scary!

However, Akira Hatake also had to accept the reality that the ninjas in the Naruto world were simply too agile, and the variety of tactics used in battle was so great that it made people question their existence.

To transform the ideal numerical values ​​into actual combat power, it is inseparable from Akira Hatake's own strength.

One must be strong to forge iron. Before fully mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, Akira Hatake would never invest his precious skill points in his second skill.

However, if Akira Hatake learns the Flying Thunder God Technique, then that's a different story.

Judging from Akira Hatake's personality, he would definitely prefer to remain anonymous and would not step forward to lend a hand unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, except when it comes to stealing kills...

As for the extremely overpowered skill "Tai Gua: Longevity", Akira Hatake is currently unable to upgrade it. To upgrade it, Akira Hatake needs to acquire another skill point.

However, the first-level Tai Gua · Longevity is enough for Akira Hatake's current needs.

【Tai Hexagram - Longevity: Currently at skill level 1, detailed skill description is as follows:】

After connecting with an enemy or ally, and after a 0.75-second preparation time, the emitted chakra orb will deal true damage equal to 33% of the user's base life energy plus 33% of the user's base strength to the enemy connected by the chakra chain. (The enemy will also lose an equal amount of their own life energy.)

If the chakra chain is connected to an ally, it restores life energy equal to the above value and heals non-fatal wounds within the life energy restoration range.

If the friendly unit is unharmed, the above-mentioned amount of life energy will remain in the friendly unit's body, and the resulting buff effect is closely related to the friendly unit's own status.

Passive: After leaving combat, the user's lost health energy from using the third skill will be restored within 10 seconds.

Upon careful calculation, given Hatake Akira's current strength as a Chunin and his own life energy level above the average for his age, a single sip of his milk could pull a critically injured, dying person back from the brink of death.

If it's an enemy...

Akira Hatake believed that his third skill could easily kill an ordinary Chunin!

Even if that's not possible, it can still render an ordinary Chunin powerless, turning them into lambs to the slaughter under Hatake Akira's blade.

"This is so... awesome!"

After reviewing the bonuses of each of the three skills and combining them with the two finished pieces of equipment he had conjured, Akira Hatake was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts"—this truth has never changed.

A single ninja conflict, comparable in intensity to an S-rank mission, allowed Akira Hatake to achieve a tremendous leap forward, making him even more eager for the upcoming Third Shinobi World War.

However, to make things more comfortable during the Third Shinobi World War, the Flying Thunder God Technique is indispensable.

As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, Akira Hatake had a premonition that with the help of two finished pieces of equipment, he was already able to complete the first stage of training in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Glancing at Minato Namikaze, who was leading the way, Akira Hatake quickly ran a few steps to catch up.

"Teacher, are we almost at our rest stop?"

"Hmm, at this pace, we should arrive in half an hour." Minato Namikaze glanced at Akira Hatake. "Why are you asking this?"

"Teacher, after this battle, I feel like I'm about to reach the threshold of the first stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"What?!" Minato Namikaze stopped in his tracks. "Say that again?!"

"Teacher, there's no need to make such a fuss, is there?" Akira Hatake immediately adopted a cheeky tone. "I'm only slightly faster than you were at learning the Flying Thunder God Technique back then..."
