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

The Hatake brothers, whose titles are Chunin and whose strength is that of elite Jonin, wiped out a full ninja squad of 90 people led by 7 Jonin. This seems impossible no matter how you look at it.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi at his peak could have done it, but the price he would have paid would have been enormous.

But look at Akira Hatake standing opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi now. Apart from being a little listless, there are no obvious wounds on his body, and apart from some dust on his clothes, there is not a single drop of blood!

Even if you're slaughtering a pig, you'll still get some bloodstains on your clothes, right?

Moreover, what's more, Akira Hatake and Kakashi wiped out a full 90-man ninja squad. They were human, powerful ninjas who knew how to dodge, fight back, and fight to the death!

boom!

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table and jumped up from his chair. He pointed at Akira Hatake with his right hand, which was holding a pipe, and his face was very gloomy.

"Akira Hatake! This is not the time for jokes!"

“I’m not joking.” Akira Hatake said calmly. “Although it’s hard for people to believe, Kakashi and I really did it. And as long as the interrogation team takes away this Jonin’s head, it will prove whether I’m telling the truth or not.”

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent, then picked up his pipe again and took a deep drag.

"Ming, if the facts differ from what you've described, do you know what you'll be facing...?"

Seeing that Akira Hatake's attitude was resolute, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little more trust in him, but he still felt it was too outrageous and couldn't help but want to verify it again.

"I know, but what does that have to do with me?" Akira Hatake replied slowly and deliberately. "A lie can't become the truth, and the truth can't become a lie. What I said is the truth!"

"Someone come here." After giving Hatake Akira a deep look, Sarutobi Hiruzen called out for help.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Take this scroll to the interrogation unit and have them extract all the information from it as quickly as possible."

"My subordinate understands!"

The Hokage's guards, who came and went like the wind, took away the sealing scroll that Akira Hatake had placed on the table.

All that's left is to wait patiently for the results.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's direct orders, the interrogation team worked with exceptionally high efficiency. However, the intelligence extracted from the heads of the Sand Village Jonin still shattered their worldview.

Eliminated 80 chunin and genin in four minutes, and eliminated 7 jonin with excellent teamwork and considerable strength in three minutes...

How is this possible!

Undeterred, they extracted the remaining information from the heads of the Sand Village Jonin once more, but the second time they obtained the exact same information as the first time.

The interrogation team members still had some doubts, so they conducted a full examination of the skull to see if anyone had tampered with the brain.

However, the result was still the same: the head of the Jonin, who had been dead for less than 20 minutes, was intact.

But then, the members of the interrogation team looked at each other in bewilderment.

"As far as I know, the border is more than 80 kilometers away from the village as the crow flies, isn't it?"

"That's right..."

"This Sand Village Jonin died within 20 minutes, that's correct, isn't it?"

"That's right..."

“If that’s correct, then it means… someone traveled at least 80 kilometers from the border back to the village in about 15 minutes.”

"Although I don't want to admit it, all the intelligence points to this fact..."

"Organize the intelligence data and send it to the Hokage." He instructed a ninja from the interrogation team, then looked at one of the Hokage's guards, "But I'd like to ask, who exactly is the person who accomplished this miracle?"

"The eldest son of the Hatake family, Hatake Akira."

This kind of thing couldn't be kept secret anyway, and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have any rule against revealing information about Akira Hatake, so the members of the Hokage's guard didn't hesitate to leak it.

"Kazaki Akira... Akira Hatake, a disciple of Minato Namikaze?"

"Correct."

“If he’s a disciple of Minato Namikaze, then there’s virtually no possibility that this miracle is faked.” The Jonin from the interrogation team sighed. “The Flying Thunder God Technique… it truly is a miraculous ninjutsu.”

……

After waiting for about half an hour, the Hokage's guards returned to the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the documents handed to him by a member of the Hokage's guard and began to flip through them with a slightly impatient air.

As the pages turned, Hiruzen Sarutobi's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, but along with that, his jaw also gradually opened slightly.

Hey.

With a soft thud, Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe fell from his mouth onto the table.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely oblivious, and instead quickly flipped through the documents in his hand again.

"Sigh! Getting old..."

After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to normal, calmly picked up the pipe that had fallen on the table, and put it back in his mouth.

However, a sigh betrayed Hiruzen Sarutobi's true thoughts deep down.

"Konoha is fortunate to have such an outstanding rising star as you!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked intently at Akira Hatake. "Akira, among all the people I've ever met, your talent is definitely in the top three!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi praised him lavishly, "The information you provided is completely accurate. I will record your merits. Moreover, your information has saved too many Konoha ninjas!"

"This is my duty." Akira Hatake remained calm and composed, like a wooden puppet.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't find anything wrong with Akira Hatake's reaction; on the contrary, he looked at Akira Hatake with even greater respect.

But while he appreciated and praised him, he didn't need to get involved in what happened next.

"Ming, go home and rest well. What happens next is beyond your control."

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Nodding, Akira Hatake turned and left. The moment he closed the door to the Hokage's office, he vanished.

After Akira Hatake left, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened again.

This wasn't because of Akira Hatake, but because the information Hiruzen Sarutobi possessed was now as heavy as a mountain.

"I made a stupid decision..."

"However, there is still a chance to salvage the situation. If the troops are dispatched to the border to provide support now, it should still be in time..."

After muttering a few words, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately convened a meeting of Konoha's high-ranking officials.

The meeting's outcome was naturally irreversible, but Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi disagreed on the issue of commanding the Konoha ninja forces.

Danzo Shimura wanted to personally lead the Konoha ninja forces to the border to provide support.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi would absolutely not agree to let Danzo take command.

As for the reason, it was naturally because Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want Danzo Shimura to gain more merit and prestige through this war.

"Disagree? What right do you have to disagree!"

Danzo Shimura slammed his fist on the table again. "If it weren't for your previous wrong decisions, the ninjas stationed on the border would never have suffered such heavy casualties, and the Land of Wind would never have spread the flames of war to our territory!"

This was something Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't refute; it could be said that this was the first time he had been at a disadvantage in a public confrontation with Danzo Shimura.

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently at a disadvantage, his prestige has been damaged due to his previous wrong decisions.

But the Hokage is still the Hokage, and the power he wields remains ridiculously large, especially during times of war, when this power is inevitably amplified.

After a heated exchange, Danzo Shimura, seeing that he was about to be suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi through the power of the Hokage, decisively took a step back and recommended Orochimaru, with whom he had already established a close cooperative relationship.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing that he was in a good position, readily agreed.

The meeting is now over.

At the same time, Konoha during wartime demonstrated their powerful mobilization capabilities.

In less than an hour, the Konoha ninja forces, which had been prepared, began a large-scale mobilization, and a large amount of war supplies were also set off for the front line. The violent institution of the Land of Fire, Konoha Village, began to operate at full speed.

The all-out war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind has officially begun!

Chapter 113 Kurenai's Gift.

The large-scale personnel mobilization within Konoha Village naturally did not escape the notice of spies from the various hidden villages.

The collected intelligence was transmitted in various ways, but because of this, many hidden spies were captured by the Konoha Anbu and Konoha Root ninjas.

The methods used to deal with spies from other villages are naturally not going to be gentle, but that's the job of the interrogation team and has little to do with Akira Hatake.

Akira Hatake and Kakashi were not deployed to the front lines.

Similarly, Minato Namikaze is also like that.

A day had passed since the main force of Konoha ninjas set off, and Akira Hatake and Kakashi were summoned by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As Akira Hatake pushed open the door to the Hokage's office, he saw many familiar faces.

Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade, Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha...

These were the people that Hatake Akira could name. The rest, whom he wasn't very familiar with, were either clan heads of Konoha ninja clans or ninjas holding important positions.

After waiting a while longer, Konoha's three advisors, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, arrived. Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his throat and prepared to begin.

"According to intelligence reports, the Hidden Stone Village in the Land of Earth, the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, and the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water have all taken action."

With a grave expression and a low voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe. "This is a more critical situation than the last Shinobi World War. We are very likely to be besieged by the combined forces of the four great nations at the same time!"

"The reason I've summoned you here is to assign specific arrangements for the other three strategic defense lines."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly pulled down a large map hanging on the wall, which had already marked the attack routes of the hidden villages belonging to the four major countries.

"According to intelligence reports, the Land of Earth has completed the occupation of the Land of Grass, and the ninja forces that have split into two groups to attack the Land of Waterfall should also be able to occupy the Land of Waterfall soon."

"The Land of Lightning, which has also taken similar actions to the Land of Earth, has already penetrated into the territory of the Land of Hot Springs, and there is a high probability that it will continue to advance and thus invade our territory."

"Therefore, I have decided to dispatch a 1300-strong ninja force to a place near the border of the Land of Hot Water to defend the area and prevent the Land of Lightning's forces from invading Konoha."

"So, Jiraiya, is it alright for you to lead the ninja garrison on the northeastern border of the Land of Fire?"

“No problem!” Jiraiya nodded.

"In that case, Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake, and Kakashi Hatake will be at your command." After Jiraiya nodded, Hiruzen Sarutobi directly assigned these three generals to Jiraiya.

After a day and a night of fermentation, the story of the two brothers, Akira Hatake and Kakashi, wiping out an entire ninja squad has spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
