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

"Konoha's New Generation of Light #Hatake Akira #Kakashi"

"Konoha's Model Ninja #Hatake Akira #Kakashi"

"Other people's kids #AkiraHatake #Kakashi"

Such topics have once again filled the streets and alleys. If one does not know the details, one might think that Akira Hatake has used some power to manipulate public opinion.

But the truth is that this public opinion was formed spontaneously by the villagers of Konoha.

However, the Uchiha clan, which had been gradually forgotten by Konoha, quietly welcomed a new life.

On June 9th, Konoha Year 46, Uchiha Itachi, the filial son of the Uchiha clan, was born.

This also indicates that with only a little over six months left until the Third Shinobi World War, the great era that Hatake Akira has been longing for is about to arrive!

Chapter 107 The Beginning of the Third Shinobi World War. (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Yellow sand filled the sky, and the sand and dust whipped up by the hot wind felt like knives on people's faces, cutting them painfully.

This kind of environment, which is rather unfriendly to humans, can be seen everywhere in the Land of Wind.

A glimpse into the whole reveals the poverty of the Land of Wind. Apart from the income earned by ninjas on missions, the Land of Wind receives very little tax revenue from its common people.

Unlike the Land of Fire, which possesses vast tracts of fertile land, the impoverished Land of Wind relies heavily on ninja mission commissions for most of its fiscal revenue.

Therefore, the number of ninja missions carried out will directly determine whether the financial revenue of the Land of Wind is healthy.

The number of missions a large hidden village's ninjas can undertake depends on whether the overall strength of the country they belong to is strong or weak.

Needless to say, those who are too weak have very few ninja missions, since no one would risk their own life and property.

Wealth can be earned again, but life is only once. Many wealthy businessmen would rather spend more money to hire more powerful ninjas than settle for less powerful ones.

The Sand Village of the Land of Wind is one of the Five Great Hidden Villages, and its strength is beyond doubt. Naturally, the number of ninja missions it undertakes each day remains at a very substantial level.

But I am afraid of comparison in everything.

Compared to Konohagakure in the Land of Fire, Sunagakure's daily ninja missions are at most slightly more than half of Konohagakure's.

Furthermore, since the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are neighboring countries, Sunagakure is having a very difficult time and is constantly thinking about bringing down its rival, Konohagakure.

However, the village's ninja strength was only so-so. Although they were more than capable of bullying some small countries and medium-sized ninja villages, they were still not strong enough to compete with the powerful Konoha.

However, there was one thing the Wind Kingdom had never forgotten: besides them, the other three great nations also coveted the Fire Kingdom's rich lands.

Therefore, if they launch a coordinated attack, the Land of Wind would definitely be happy to get involved!

In the last two Shinobi World Wars, although the Land of Wind lost, the Land of Fire didn't win either; at best, both sides suffered heavy losses.

However, the Land of Wind suffered greater losses than the Land of Fire.

However, after the Second Shinobi World War, the Land of Wind regained its former glory and even surpassed its previous strength.

Moreover, as the violent institution of the Land of Wind, Sunagakure's head Kazekage is hailed as the strongest Kazekage in history, the Third Kazekage. This has inflated their confidence to an unprecedented level, making them feel that they are invincible again.

But before the Land of Wind could make a move, a piece of bad news suddenly arrived.

The Third Kazekage has gone missing, and his accompanying Kazekage Guard has been wiped out!

This incident undoubtedly stirred up a hornet's nest. The first suspects in the Land of Wind and its violent institution, Sunagakure, were Konohagakure, the violent institution of the Land of Fire.

Although this may seem like judging others by one's own standards, it is a great opportunity, a chance to incite the four great powers to besiege the Fire Kingdom again and then divide up its rich lands!

Consequently, Sunagakure, representing the violent institution of the Land of Wind, launched a series of military operations.

Under the pretext of searching for the missing Third Kazekage, they launched an invasion of the River Country, a small country struggling to survive between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.

As a small country, its strength was limited, and it couldn't hold out for long. The River Country then turned to the Fire Country for help.

The reason why the River Country exists is that it is a strategic buffer zone deliberately left behind by the Fire Country and the Wind Country, in order to prevent the flames of war from directly affecting their own territory in the event of a war between the two countries in the future.

Although it was somewhat cruel to the Land of Rivers, in the world of Naruto, weakness is the original sin.

It's good enough to just survive. Small countries caught in the middle are used as strategic buffer zones by major powers and can only accept it with tears in their eyes.

The Land of Rivers, which serves as a strategic buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, is being invaded. Naturally, the Land of Fire cannot stand idly by. Otherwise, once the Land of Wind completely occupies the Land of Rivers, war will inevitably break out within the Land of Fire's borders.

Although this possibility cannot be 100%, it is still necessary to nip problems in the bud.

Even if they don't intervene directly, they should still send a large number of troops to be stationed on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.

However, at this critical juncture, the Third Hokage, who was in power in Konoha, once again hesitated.

“I understand the Daimyo’s concerns, but the problem now is that the Land of Wind is using the pretext of searching for the Third Kazekage’s whereabouts. We can’t intervene directly, otherwise we could easily give them a pretext to start a full-scale war between the two countries, or even cause a ripple effect and become the fuse for the Third Shinobi World War!”

"Hiruzen, you're foolish, you're foolish!"

During a high-level meeting in Konoha, Danzo Shimura slammed his fist on the table. "The Land of Rivers has already been largely occupied by the Land of Wind. Although the reasons are valid, if we wait any longer, the Land of Wind's forces searching for the Third Kazekage will enter the Land of Fire!"

"So, will you, like the Land of Rivers, allow the Land of Wind to advance unimpeded, using the pretext of searching for the Third Kazekage to carry out your invasion?!"

"Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table. "I am the Hokage!"

Pat, pat, pat.

After taking two deep drags on his cigarette, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a compromise decision: "Send a small force to the border to garrison, recall all ninjas who are out on missions to the village to stand by, and prepare war supplies as soon as possible in case of emergency."

"If the Land of Wind remains obstinate and insists on sending a large force into our territory to search for the whereabouts of the Third Kazekage, and if persuasion fails, the ninja stationed at the border may expel or even retaliate."

"But if it's just a small group of ninjas, we should be patient, do our best to cooperate with the ninjas from the Land of Wind in their search, and try our best to ease the tension between the two countries and prevent the situation from escalating further."

It can be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi had considered almost every possible scenario, and his original intention was not to have a war break out between the two countries, after all, the two previous sieges of the Land of Fire served as a warning.

Overall, while Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision may have hurt the feelings of some passionate individuals, it was undoubtedly an act that considered the greater good.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi overlooked the fact that the Land of Wind's move was not what it seemed. So, although the decision seemed like a perfect plan, it was actually a fatal act that delayed the opportunity to fight!

Danzo Shimura left, his eyes filled with malice, while inwardly cursing Hiruzen Sarutobi for being weak and lacking the domineering decisiveness expected of a village kage.

How can one become a qualified leader if they are always looking before and after?

With the conclusion of the Konoha high-level meeting, the Land of Wind has made new moves.

Under the pretext of searching for the whereabouts of the Third Kazekage, they dispatched troops to invade the Land of Birds, which is sandwiched between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, thereby provoking the sensitive nerve of the Land of Earth, which is adjacent to the Land of Wind.

Therefore, the Land of Earth decided to temporarily avoid direct conflict with the Land of Wind and instead focus its attention on the Land of Grass and the Land of Waterfall, which are sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth.

This can be considered an unspoken understanding between the two countries: to temporarily avoid the more difficult-to-conquer Rain Country and first conquer other smaller countries with weaker strength.

The Land of Lightning, which has a long-standing feud with the Land of Earth, cannot sit idly by. If the Land of Earth were to conquer the Land of Grass and the Land of Waterfall, the strategic buffer between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning would be virtually nonexistent.

Some might say, "But aren't there also the Land of Frost, the Land of Sound, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of the Moon sandwiched between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning?"

But what are these four small countries to a large country? Would it take a long time to break through their defenses?

Immediately afterwards, the Land of Lightning also sprang into action...

Thus, with the constant provocations of the Land of Wind, the ninja world was thrown into chaos in a very short time!

Chapter 108 An acquaintance, but she's dead. (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire.

"Brother, we need to hurry!"

"I know, but we also need to conserve our energy. We've already avoided several groups of Sunagakure ninjas along the way, and there might be a conflict later."

The two brothers, Akira Hatake and Kakashi, were hurrying along and talking in hushed tones as they prepared to return to their village after completing their mission.

If you look closely at the two brothers, they have matured a lot compared to last year, with more weathered faces and more robust physiques.

Furthermore, Kakashi had already tucked the White Fang short sword on his back into his waistband, and a 1.3-meter-long ninja sword had taken its place.

This is a ninja sword made entirely of chakra metal, which Tsunade used to create for Kakashi at the end of last year, in accordance with her previous agreement with Akira Hatake, by spending most of the remaining wealth of the Senju clan.

This long sword comes from the Land of Craftsmen, and was forged by the country's top blacksmith. It is a ninja sword born to serve ninjutsu.

Its advantage is that its chakra conductivity is almost 100%, but its disadvantages are also very obvious.

It's so crispy!

Chakra metal is only excellent at conducting chakra; its hardness and flexibility are far inferior to other metals.

Logically speaking, all ninja tools capable of transmitting chakra would have other metals added before forging to improve the durability of the blade in order to pursue other performance aspects or save costs.

However, the power of Blood Elimination cannot be applied to the situations mentioned above, because the attribute of Blood Elimination is annihilation.

Chakra metal, due to its unique chakra conductivity, can escape harm, but if the power of the bloodstain elimination is not transmitted in time, it will still cause great damage to the user.

Therefore, in order to complement the Bloodstained Elimination Sword Technique, Kakashi's sword could only be a sword made entirely of chakra metal.

However, even though Kakashi's ninja sword can't directly clash with other metal weapons, why would Kakashi need to do so when using the Bloodstained Elimination Sword Technique?

Before the blades even clashed, the enemy would likely have already been reduced to dust by the overwhelming power of the bloodstains.

It's fair to say that this ninja sword is a divine weapon in Kakashi's hands, but in someone else's hands it's just a defective product that can be easily chipped or broken with a little forceful swing.

Therefore, Akira Hatake, acting as a naming expert, gave Kakashi's new ninja sword a rather elegant and pun-filled name.

There was no snow.

The Snowless Ninja Sword, combined with Kakashi's Bloodstained Elimination Sword Technique, truly kills without shedding blood!

Unfortunately, Kakashi has not yet attempted to fuse with the Bloodline Elimination technique. Instead, he has resorted to using various derivative ninjutsu of the Chidori Stream to complement the Snowless Stream.

Although it lacks some power, it is more than enough for Kakashi to use at this stage.

Looking at Akira Hatake, his speed of improvement is remarkable, thanks to the 31.5% bonus to all his ninjutsu talents.

Moreover, with the 25% attack speed and reaction speed bonus from the Rapid Boots, Akira Hatake can now skillfully use the Flying Thunder God Technique II, truly living up to the name of Minato Namikaze.

The two, who are only 9 years old, have enough fighting power to hold their own among the Kage-level powerhouses. Even if they can't win, no one can stop them from retreating if they want to!

The reason the two ignored the small group of Sunagakure ninja who had begun to invade the Land of Fire was not because they were afraid of them, but because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders.

Hiruzen Sarutobi still harbored beautiful fantasies, believing that as long as he didn't provoke the Land of Wind's sensitive nerves, peace would be achieved.

Akira Hatake scoffed at this, saying that there has to be a limit to appeasement; going too far would be seen as weakness.

In Akira Hatake's view, Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently weak and has wasted too many opportunities to counterattack.

Even if Akira Hatake disapproved of Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisions, he was still the Hokage. It was impossible for Akira Hatake to make a mistake and be unfairly blamed for the war between the two countries.

So if you should hide, then hide; if you should retreat, then retreat. You can make a decision after you return to the village.
