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

Fortunately, after Team 8 disbands, Akira Hatake and Kakashi will continue to carry out missions together, and if nothing unexpected happens, A-rank missions will be their minimum requirement.

While it's possible that some B-rank missions might be carried out occasionally, it's unlikely that such missions will become frequent; otherwise, it would demonstrate Konoha's lack of concern for its own interests.

The commission earned from completing one A-level task is equivalent to the total commission from four or five B-level tasks.

Konoha has no reason to abandon the formidable mission team duo of Akira Hatake and Kakashi.

So for the next period of time, Akira Hatake and Kakashi embarked on the path of mission maniacs without stopping.

With only two months left until New Year's Day, Akira Hatake and Kakashi had already completed three A-rank missions.

Through these three missions, Akira Hatake killed more than 100 ninjas, most of whom were Chunin-level, but this undoubtedly provided him with a considerable amount of gold.

1623 is the current balance of gold coins held by Akira Hatake.

After thinking it over, Akira Hatake decided to save them for later, so that if he encountered any unexpected situations during a mission, he would still have some trump cards to use, as a kind of extra insurance.

You only have one life, so you can never be too careful.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was already Konoha Year 46.

No major changes occurred in Konoha that year. If one had to say something, it would be that Jiraiya stayed in the village and would go to the Hatake residence whenever he had nothing to do.

The reason for this is to allow Akira Hatake to utilize the characteristics of his third skill to assist him in his training.

Of course, Tsunade and Minato Namikaze wouldn't let Akira Hatake off either. Whenever Akira Hatake returned from a mission and had some free time, the three of them would take turns harassing him.

This made Kakashi curse inwardly for a long time, but he couldn't say it out loud because of his status. He could only wear a sour face every day, and his reputation for being aloof and difficult to get along with grew louder and louder.

It is worth mentioning that since contracting with two of the three holy lands' summoning beasts, Akira Hatake has never summoned the toads of Mount Myōboku or the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest.

As for the reason, it's because Akira Hatake knows that with the arrogance of the summoning beasts from the two great spiritual holy lands, even if Akira Hatake has the qualifications, they can still disregard him.

Therefore, Akira Hatake, who was self-aware, was not in a hurry at all. He planned to wait until the Third Shinobi World War was over before figuring out how to slowly mold the arrogant personalities of the summoned beasts of the Holy Land.

However, Kakashi had no such concerns. He could summon Gamabunta, Gamaken, Gamahiro, and other great toads from Mount Myōboku at will.

Furthermore, the toads of Mount Myōboku did not treat Kakashi the same way they treated Akira Hatake. While they might not be on par with Jiraiya, they were not far behind.

Furthermore, at Akira Hatake's urging, Kakashi also took some time to reverse summon to Mount Myōboku to train in Sage Mode.

Although Kakashi possesses the talent to master Sage Mode, and his talent is above average.

However, his training time is still short, and Kakashi's mind is not fully focused on the cultivation of Sage Mode, which has resulted in a somewhat slow training speed, which is a bit of a pity.

However, Kakashi's training during this period was not as stagnant as his Sage Mode training.

As the saying goes, every gain has its loss. Kakashi has now completely completed his training in Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation and has successfully fused Ice Release into his Shadow Clones.

Kakashi's Shadow Clone Jutsu can now use Storm Release and Ice Release. Although these are just the simplest applications of these two jutsu, when combined, they are still very frightening to enemies.

However, Kakashi encountered a problem in fusing the Wind Release chakra nature transformation and the Lightning Release chakra nature transformation.

That is because the attributes of Wind Release and Lightning Release are really incompatible. Since the Wind Release is a poor conductor of Lightning Release, the fusion of the two has always been lacking.

Gradually, Kakashi came to the conclusion that wind-style chakra nature transformation could not be combined with lightning-style chakra nature transformation.

But precisely because of this, after Kakashi told Akira Hatake about the situation, Akira suddenly had a crazy idea.

What would it look like if Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation were added to Wind Release: Rasenshuriken?

Since wind-style chakra is a poor conductor of lightning-style chakra, the nature transformation of violent lightning-style chakra has a natural barrier, and the even more violent lightning-style chakra will not be able to harm the user.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and Akira Hatake enthusiastically shared his idea with Minato Namikaze.

Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze was not a ninja who possessed all five chakra natures, and he said he could not help him with that.

Even so, Minato Namikaze did not completely abandon the project; instead, he helped Akira Hatake build some theoretical frameworks.

When faced with a problem that Minato Namikaze couldn't solve alone, Akira Hatake would even pull in Jiraiya and Tsunade, and eventually even went so far as to find Sakumo Hatake, who was recuperating.

As March of Konoha 46 approached, Akira Hatake's theoretical framework for the new technique was fully established. All that remained was to continuously experiment and refine it until the variant of the Rasenshuriken was completely perfected.

Chapter 103 marks another special feature on the naming genius, Minato Namikaze.

"The 123rd trial and error begins!"

At this moment, Minato Namikaze and Kakashi were by Akira Hatake's side. The place where the three of them were testing their new ninjutsu was naturally still Training Ground 18.

This training ground, marked with a number, has practically become the exclusive training ground for the members of Class 8.

Woo woo woo.

The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken took shape, creating a continuous whistling sound that made Akira Hatake squint his eyes slightly.

"In a ratio of 2:2:6, wind-style chakra nature transformation, lightning-style chakra transformation, and the simplest, ultimate form of non-attribute chakra transformation are added respectively."

"With the binding force brought by the higher central rotation speed, the extremely unstable Rasenshuriken is stabilized again. At this time, the lightning-style chakra is slowly compressed after its nature change, so that it forms a tight central sphere."

"As expected, the compressed lightning-attribute nature change chakra has become much more stable, making the overall structure of the Rasenshuriken more stable and temporarily avoiding the instability problem caused by adding a second type of chakra nature change."

"But the problem is, this chakra consumption is too severe! It drained a third of my chakra in one go!"

Akira Hatake kept chanting in his mind. Once the Rasenshuriken in his hand was completely stable, he jumped into the air, bent over, and suddenly leaned back to throw the Rasenshuriken he was holding in his right hand.

"withdraw!"

The joy of success did not cloud Akira Hatake's judgment. After throwing Kakashi, he grabbed Kakashi's wrist and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to move a great distance away.

Minato Namikaze, who had received a warning from Akira Hatake, did not take it lightly. Just like Hatake, he instantly used the Flying Thunder God Technique and arrived at a place not far from where he was with Hatake in an instant.

boom!

bong!

A series of enormous sounds, almost connected one after the other, came from behind, but what preceded the sounds was the light produced by the explosion of the Spiral Shuriken.

The bright silver is mixed with some deep blue, and the colors that are mixed together are as beautiful as a dream. But only those who are actually in it can know that this beauty is the ultimate danger that will make you die a gruesome death!

Subsequently, the shockwave spread outwards in visible ripples from the explosion's epicenter, stirring up soil, uprooting trees, and altering the terrain in its path.

Finally, a gust of wind, carrying the scent of earth, swept across, ruffling the three men's clothes and carrying away their tension.

Before the three appeared a basin-shaped crater, its area of ​​destruction being about two-thirds larger than that caused by Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, and its power was also significantly increased.

"Success!"

Kakashi jumped up first, his excitement even more blatant than that of the instigator, Akira Hatake.

"Yes...we finally succeeded."

After failing 122 times, Akira Hatake finally succeeded this time, which also means that the number of S-rank ninjutsu that Akira Hatake has mastered has reached four!

"Congratulations, Akira." Minato Namikaze was equally happy, but for some reason, Akira Hatake seemed to have been doused with cold water, staring blankly at Minato Namikaze.

As expected, Minato Namikaze's subsequent words confirmed Akira Hatake's premonition.

"A ninjutsu that surpasses Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, I need to give it a name that is both domineering and magnificent!"

"Teacher, let's let it go this time..."

“Ming, you promised me last time that I would name the ninjutsu that were developed after Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.”

"This... but I developed it myself." Akira Hatake argued, not wanting Minato Namikaze to name it, who knew what strange and cringeworthy names would come out of his mouth.

"But I did participate in the theoretical development, so I deserve some credit, more or less. Besides, this situation is similar to the last time when we developed Wind Release: Rasenshuriken."

"Please feel free to do as you please, teacher..."

Akira Hatake pouted, but in the end he chose to give up the struggle. It was just the name of a technique; he could change it at any time.

Even if you can't change it, you can just pretend to be aloof and not reveal Shu's name in the future. What's there to worry about?

But... I'm still so worried!

As if awaiting judgment, Akira Hatake stared intently at Minato Namikaze with uneasy eyes.

Minato Namikaze stroked his chin, seemingly lost in his own world, completely unaware of Akira Hatake's anxious gaze.

After a while, Minato Namikaze snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

"I've decided, I'll call it Wind and Lightning Release: Compression Spiral Gale Dance Blue and White Arrow Style 1!"

Hey! How do you manage to keep from bursting out laughing and maintain a perfectly normal expression?!

Also, with such a long name, the other side must have run away before I even finished pronouncing it!

He rubbed his forehead, then glared helplessly at Kakashi, who was bent over and chuckling. He was speechless at having such a naming genius as his teacher.

"Teacher, that's a very powerful name, I like it."

Akira Hatake spoke weakly, but Minato Namikaze didn't care. Instead, he raised his head, looking smug.

"Of course! Your teacher, Kushina, always praises the name I gave her, saying it's both beautiful and powerful!"

Alright, the case is solved...

Akira Hatake found the reason: Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were extremely protective of each other's shortcomings, to the point of being somewhat blindly obsessed.

This is probably a manifestation of how deeply two people love each other; even their flaws become strengths, and they can find nothing to dislike about each other, including their personalities.

Akira Hatake even had reason to suspect that Minato Namikaze's actions were a way of showing off their love!

"Kushina-sensei is truly insightful; I am far inferior to her..." Akira Hatake gave a weak thumbs-up, pinching his nose as he accepted the chuunibyou name that Minato Namikaze had forced upon this technique.

Actually, Akira Hatake would prefer to call this technique "Wind and Lightning Release: Uzumaki Shuriken".

It's just one word added, yet it's not only highly recognizable but also indicates the improvement, making it easy to understand and remember.

Even if Akira Hatake wanted to shout something before unleashing his ninjutsu that day, it wouldn't have been so ridiculous that people would laugh themselves to death before the attack even arrived.

No matter how much he said, he couldn't change the established facts. Hatake Akira just wanted to find a way to make amends from the sidelines and to make himself feel better by torturing Namikaze Minato.

“Minato-sensei, it just so happens that you have already fully learned and can skillfully use the Fivefold Rashomon, a powerful defensive ninjutsu. Moreover, with the Flying Thunder God Technique at your side, you can also leave the range of the new technique immediately. Why don’t we…”

Akira Hatake spoke slowly, his voice laced with barely suppressed anger, "How about we test out the new ninjutsu we've mastered?"

"Let's see if the Fivefold Rashomon's defense is stronger, or if the Wind and Lightning Release: Compression Spiral Gale Dance Blue and White Arrow Style is more offensive?"

With his tongue rolled back, Akira Hatake finally finished reciting the entire Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken, which made him feel incredibly awkward.

"Great! I've been wanting to experience firsthand just how strong the sense of security the Fivefold Rashomon provides really is!"
