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

Kakashi loves small animals, especially dogs, which is why the original Kakashi always included a dog's head when releasing Earth Release techniques.

"Who said you had to give up the ninja dog clan?"

Akira Hatake flicked Kakashi on the forehead. "There's no rule that you can only choose one summoning beast. As long as you get the consent of the toad and ninja dog clans, it's not a problem to have two summoning beasts at the same time."

Akira Hatake's statement was based on fact: Hiruzen Sarutobi's future grandson, Konohamaru, had simultaneously formed a contract with both the Enma clan and the Toad clan of Mount Myōboku.

"Is this okay?"

Kakashi was still somewhat insecure. Summoning beasts in the ninja world are just as proud as ninjas, and it is rare for them to serve the same master as other summoning beasts.

"Half and half," Akira Hatake wasn't entirely sure either. "Generally speaking, as long as you've contracted with the toad clan of Mount Myōboku, if you contract other summoning beasts, those toads shouldn't bother you."

"Most members of the toad clan of Mount Myoboku are not aggressive. Even those with fiery tempers are not the ruling toads of Mount Myoboku."

"The real problem is dealing with the ninja dog clan. After all, dogs are very loyal, but they are also very jealous. It's not easy to persuade them."

After a thorough analysis, Akira Hatake changed the subject, "However, there's no need to worry too much. After all, the ninja dogs are the exclusive summoning beasts of our Hatake family. The bond between them has been passed down through generations, and I believe they will make an exception this time."

"I hope so..." Kakashi's voice was low; he was probably struggling with his inner conflict.

"Cheer up!"

Akira Hatake was somewhat exasperated that Kakashi was acting like a woman, fussing over nothing. "That's settled then. Anyway, if you can't handle it, I'll ask Father for help."

"Don't trouble Father, I'll listen to my brother." Kakashi finally obeyed Akira Hatake's arrangement.

“That’s right.” Akira Hatake affectionately put his arm around Kakashi, their shoulder-to-shoulder pose was very warm. “I’ve never cheated you. The stronger you are, the happier I am.”

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's take advantage of the remaining time to quickly train your Shadow Clone Bloodline Limit."

With that, Akira Hatake used one hand to brace himself against the eaves and jumped off the roof with a nimble and graceful movement.

"Okay!" Kakashi followed suit, jumping off the roof and following Akira Hatake into the house.

……

The next morning, at Konoha's No. 8 training ground.

How was everyone's day yesterday?

Minato Namikaze stood ramrod straight, a gentle smile on his face, and softly questioned the three members of Class 8.

"Thank you for your concern, Minato-sensei. Kakashi and I are having a very fulfilling time," Akira Hatake replied with a smile, though his dark circles were quite noticeable.

"Me too! I broke through my own limits again yesterday. My youth yesterday was perfect!"

Matt Kai gave a thumbs-up, grinning as his two front teeth gleamed.

"Since everyone has had a good rest, let's begin the mission." Minato Namikaze didn't delay any longer and took out the mission list from his pocket.

He cleared his throat. "Ahem, this time the genin mission is to clean up the trash in the Konoha River. The time limit is three hours."

After Minato Namikaze finished speaking, Akira Hatake glanced at Kakashi, and the two of them simultaneously wore helpless expressions.

When will these low-level ninja missions ever end?!

However, Matt Kai, standing next to the two, looked full of fighting spirit. In his view, everything that happens in the world represents the test of youth and is an indispensable part of his pursuit of youth.

"Minato-sensei, what are we waiting for!" Might Guy shouted. "I can't wait any longer! I feel the call of youth!"

"..." Kakashi rolled his eyes and whispered to Akira, "Brother, I really can't stand Guy like this..."

"Shh, Kay is a very reliable partner. Although he may seem a bit...unreliable at times, you can always trust him."

"Ming! Thank you for your affirmation. You truly are my one and only best friend and rival in my youth!"

Might Guy has excellent hearing, but he automatically ignored Kakashi's earlier remarks and instead stared intently at Akira Hatake, who was speaking up for him.

"Um... well... whatever makes you happy." Akira Hatake shrugged, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's finish the task as soon as possible so we can start training early this afternoon."

Minato Namikaze smiled. He was very satisfied with the role that Akira Hatake played in Team 8, and he was also very satisfied with the current atmosphere and division of labor in Team 8.

Akira Hatake is the backbone and mediator of Class 8. His steady and tolerant nature has brought Class 8's cohesion to its limit.

Kakashi Hatake, aside from being gentle and kind to Akira Hatake, often has a cold face towards others, but he is actually warm-hearted despite his cold exterior.

In addition to his outstanding strength, Kakashi became the breakthrough player and all-rounder of Team 8.

Might Guy, though a bit silly and carefree, possesses a pure heart and always manages to instill endless fighting spirit in Class 8 in the name of youth.

Not only Akira Hatake and Kakashi, but even their teacher Minato Namikaze was somewhat affected.

Seeing Team 8 like this only fueled Minato Namikaze's anticipation for the future; he couldn't wait to see them bare their fangs.

Chapter 76 Minato Namikaze's Concerns.

Cleaning up the garbage in the river does not take three hours.

However, the unpleasant odor during the cleaning process still caused the three of them a lot of suffering.

As for Minato Namikaze, he stayed far away to the side, much like an overseer in the old society.

The three members of Team 8 were eager to train. Despite the unpleasant smell in the river, they put in all their effort and completed the genin mission in less than two hours.

"Alright, thank you everyone for your hard work."

Minato Namikaze clapped his hands and summoned Akira Hatake and the other two over. "After we're dismissed, hurry up and wash off the smell. Meet at the mission assignment handover area in the Hokage Building in half an hour."

After saying that, Minato Namikaze let out a long sigh of relief and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Is it that smelly?" Akira Hatake's nose had gotten used to it, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at this point.

"Yeah, I think... I saw Minato-sensei was having a really hard time holding it in." Kakashi raised his arm and sniffed. "I can't smell it very clearly either, but you don't even need to smell it to know it definitely stinks..."

"I never expected Minato-sensei to have this side to him." Akira Hatake shook his head, somewhat bothered by Minato's earlier dismissive behavior.

"Let's visit Minato-sensei's house tonight and maybe get a taste of Kushina-sensei's cooking."

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?" Kakashi was a little scared. He had gone with Akira Hatake twice and had naturally witnessed Kushina Uzumaki's unique culinary skills.

"Heh, even though we're visiting, we don't necessarily have to eat," Hatake Akira said with a mischievous grin. "We can just find an excuse to let Minato-sensei eat it all by himself."

"Hehe, isn't this a bit..." Kakashi laughed happily, "but I like it very much."

What kind of riddle are you two playing?

Matt Kai was puzzled by the two brothers' cheerful laughter.

It's worth mentioning that Might Guy has never visited Minato Namikaze's house, perhaps because he doesn't have anything impressive to offer, or perhaps he hasn't even considered that possibility.

After all, the Naruto world is not the same as the society of Akira Hatake's previous life, so it's quite common for people to be different in their ways of dealing with others.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something happy."

Akira Hatake and Kakashi exchanged another glance, then started chuckling mischievously again.

……

Half an hour later, Team 8 regrouped in front of the Hokage Building.

"Let's go, I'll take you to submit the task results and collect the commission for this task as well as the compensation commission for the last task."

"Teacher, did you successfully upgrade your mission level last time?" Hatake Akira's eyes lit up. If the mission level was successfully upgraded last time, it would leave a significant mark on the resumes of all the students in Class 8.

"It was a success, but due to some flaws, the mission was only rated A-rank last time." Minato Namikaze was a little disappointed, but then he was relieved. "Although it wasn't perfect, the commission approved by the Third Hokage was based on an S-rank mission."

"That's not bad either; they've figured out how to maintain balance."

Akira Hatake quietly offered a comment, which drew a somewhat reproachful look from Minato Namikaze.

"By the way, teacher, the mission level has been upgraded and the commission has increased. This is a double celebration. How about we celebrate tonight?"

Akira Hatake quickly changed the subject, inadvertently revealing his desire to "get back at" Minato Namikaze in a small way.

"Of course, no problem! How about we go on a picnic?"

Minato Namikaze naturally didn't disagree, but he intentionally or unintentionally avoided the opportunity to taste Kushina Uzumaki's cooking.

"I plan to ask Kushina-sensei first." Akira Hatake smiled quietly. "This is something the teacher probably can't decide."

jump.

Minato Namikaze acted quickly, flicking him on the forehead. "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. Don't I have any dignity?"

"Ahem..." Akira Hatake coughed to change the subject, pointing to the line that was about to end ahead, "It's almost our turn, teacher, let's hand over the task and collect the commission first."

Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly. Akira Hatake's lack of respect for elders was the norm when the two were together.

It has to be said that this experience was great, and the relationship between the two deepened day by day.

After handing over the genin mission and receiving the corresponding commission, the members of Team 8 had their wallets bulging.

The commission for low-ranking ninja missions is pitifully low; the bulk of the commission comes from compensation for the previous mission. However, the commission for S-rank missions is quite generous.

But even with the money, you still have to wait until the evening to spend it. After noon, the eighth class will have time for targeted training.

"Ming, just follow my instructions regarding the training for the Flying Thunder God Technique."

At Training Ground No. 13, Minato Namikaze has already arranged Akira Hatake's targeted training plan for this afternoon.

"Kakashi, I can't teach you swordsmanship, but I do have some knowledge about chakra nature transformation, which I'll tell you about later."

Turning to Kakashi, Minato Namikaze said something, gesturing for him to wait for him to the side.

As for Akira Hatake, after receiving the training assignment from Minato Namikaze, he had already disappeared and gone off to train on his own.

"Kai, the most crucial aspect of mastering the Eight Gates is physical fitness. There's not much I can do to help you; you should just continue training according to the original training plan."

Minato Namikaze walked up to Might Guy. "But we've added some practical training today. Come find me after you finish training, and I can be your sparring partner and teach you some practical combat techniques."

After assigning training tasks to the three of them, Minato Namikaze beckoned to Kakashi, signaling him to come over.

"Kakashi, you have a good grasp of the nature transformations of lightning and water chakra, so the remaining one is the nature transformation of wind chakra."

"Yes, Minato-sensei, I've made some progress in wind attribute nature transformation, but I feel like I'm still one step away from mastering it."

"This is already quite ingenious. Don't rush it. Wind-style chakra nature transformation isn't difficult. You just need to..."

Minato Namikaze was a master of wind-style chakra, and with his explanation, Kakashi's accumulated questions were naturally answered.

Although Sakumo Hatake had also explained to Kakashi the knowledge of wind-style chakra nature transformation, two heads are better than one, and comparing and contrasting would definitely be more beneficial for Kakashi.

"Mr. Minato, thank you for your explanation."
