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

"I happened to pass by here while practicing ninjutsu, and out of curiosity, I sat down and took a look," Minato Namikaze chuckled. "And you know what? The scenery here is quite nice; I really like it."

"It's really great. Whether you have any worries or not, just feeling the breeze here and looking at the Leaf Village beneath your feet is a wonderful experience."

Akira Hatake echoed, then, feigning ignorance, asked again, "Did you encounter difficulties while practicing ninjutsu?"

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

Chapter 12 Building a relationship of trust is difficult.

Minato Namikaze, in the world of Naruto, is nothing more than these few labels.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Rasengan, Naruto Uzumaki's father.

The only thing that could make Minato Namikaze practice so hard and fail so many times, causing him so much frustration, is the Flying Thunder God Technique. Akira Hatake can't think of any other possibility.

The reason for this question is, of course, that Akira Hatake harbored ill intentions towards Minato Namikaze all along.

Of course, it's just that the support has ulterior motives towards the powerful main DPS; there's no other hidden meaning.

"Can you tell me about it?" Akira Hatake saw Minato Namikaze nod and then climbed up the pole.

“You might not understand…” Minato Namikaze scratched his head. “This ninjutsu is very complex and requires a high level of talent. The theoretical knowledge involved is also… um… very difficult… Also, I didn’t mean to look down on you, please don’t misunderstand.”

Ugh, this damn tenderness!

Although Akira Hatake didn't want to admit it, he had a very good impression of Minato Namikaze, both in the manga and in the real Naruto world.

This way of speaking and dealing with people, regardless of age or whether they are enemies, showed Akira what personal charisma truly is.

Of course, if Minato Namikaze wasn't so smart and his strength was also lacking, then his demeanor wouldn't be charisma, but rather that of a nice guy that everyone could bully.

In the world of Naruto, weakness is the original sin, and no matter how many excuses you make, the fact will never change.

Therefore, if Akira Hatake wants to firmly grasp the main character Minato Namikaze, who has many outstanding performances in the finale, he needs to show his skills.

"I didn't misunderstand. You mean I'm not strong enough to offer you any help," Akira Hatake said calmly.

"Haha, although you're right, I still have to apologize." Minato Namikaze reached out and patted Akira Hatake on the shoulder. "How about I tell you when you're a bit older, or when you become a Jonin?"

“Not much.” Akira Hatake didn’t react much. “If it were Kakashi, he might believe this kind of child-rearing trick, but I’m not so easily fooled.”

"I'm so sorry, Akira." Minato Namikaze's smile faded. "I'll keep your skipping class by using Kakashi's identity a secret, but I have other things to do now and I have to go."

Angry out of shame?

That's not quite it. It's just that Minato Namikaze didn't want to discuss the Flying Thunder God Technique with Akira Hatake. Besides, it was their first time meeting, so it's best to keep things within bounds.

"Jonin Minato, please wait." Akira Hatake called out to Minato Namikaze, who had already stood up. "I know it's abrupt, but I still want to tell you something."

"What is it?" Minato Namikaze turned around.

"I can solve your problem," Akira Hatake said solemnly.

"Ming, I really have something to do, and... it's not a good habit for a child to boast."

"What about this?"

Akira Hatake raised his hand, and a purplish-red chakra chain flew towards Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze reacted quickly. Although he didn't sense any malice from Akira Hatake, he still managed to dodge the purple-red chakra chain the moment it shot towards him.

But then Akira Hatake smirked. The revamped Ming Shi Yin had naturally been strengthened in terms of his primary tactic of chaining.

At least when the error is not too great, fastening the chain has become quite easy.

Just as Minato Namikaze thought he had dodged Akira Hatake's "attack" and was preparing to give him a lecture before leaving, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The purplish-red chain seemed to possess its own consciousness; it had just grazed Minato Namikaze's body and missed, but in the next instant, it suddenly changed its original trajectory.

Silently, the purplish-red chakra chain pierced through Minato Namikaze's Jonin vest, striking him squarely in the chest and instantly merging into his flesh.

Frowning, Minato Namikaze subconsciously reached out to grab it, but as soon as he made the movement, he froze on the spot.

Ninjas, especially powerful ones, have an unimaginable level of self-control, and Minato Namikaze, who would achieve great things in the future, was no exception.

The moment he raised his arm, Minato Namikaze noticed the change in himself.

He was stunned for less than a second, glanced at Akira Hatake standing to the side, and then Minato Namikaze calmed down and carefully comprehended the specific changes in his own strength.

“My physical strength has increased by 20%, my reaction speed by 15%, and my chakra reserves by 15%,” Minato Namikaze thought to himself. “Moreover, I have a feeling that my taijutsu and ninjutsu power have also been greatly enhanced, but I need to test it out to get a definite answer.”

Looking at Akira Hatake again, Minato Namikaze's gentle smile reappeared on his face.

Just as Akira Hatake said, he was indeed able to help him solve problems with ninjutsu.

The reason why the third stage of Flying Thunder God Technique has been delayed is not only because the details still need to be improved, but also because Minato Namikaze's biggest deficiency is his reaction speed, which can no longer keep up with the requirements of the subsequent improvements to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Therefore, what seems like a negligible 15% increase in reaction speed is of great importance to Minato Namikaze.

Akira Hatake was the key to his breakthrough!

“Ming, I apologize for my previous recklessness.” Minato Namikaze’s attitude was very sincere. “I didn’t expect you to have this ability.”

"Yeah... I never thought that someone as well-regarded as Minato, a Jonin, would look down on someone like that," Hatake Akira teased. "Well, I guess I am, after all, a truant and hopeless student..."

"Uh... this..." Minato Namikaze scratched his head awkwardly, but quickly recovered. "Akira, I really need you right now!"

“I know,” Akira Hatake smiled. “So, shouldn’t you tell me in detail about your current predicament?”

“Then you need to promise me that you won’t reveal the ninjutsu I’m telling you to anyone,” Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice. “Although it’s difficult to break my ninjutsu, if the specific information is leaked… I will still be in great danger.”

"Don't worry, Jonin Minato, I won't do that." Akira Hatake patted his chest. "I guarantee you with the integrity of 'Konoha's White Fang'!"

"You really are nothing like Kakashi." Minato Namikaze smiled, then handed Akira Hatake a Flying Thunder God kunai.

"This is the foundation for building the 'Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roaring Style 3,' and the problem I'm facing stems from it." Minato Namikaze said a very tongue-twisting name, which made Akira Hatake look annoyed.

As expected, Minato Namikaze, the genius of naming in the ninja world, is actually quite adorable.

However, on the other hand, this kind of cringeworthy naming method still makes Akira Hatake really want to complain.

"That's such a tongue twister..." Akira Hatake shook his head, giving up on his plan to complain. "Let's put it more directly."

"Well... um... after completing the second stage of Flying Thunder God Technique, I encountered a problem when developing the third stage." Minato Namikaze simplified it a bit, but he stopped there and then began to ask Akira Hatake.

"Ming, I've told you about the problems I'm facing. Now, can you tell me why you want to help me?"

Hearing Minato Namikaze ask this question, Akira Hatake's heart sank.

Indeed, in the world of Naruto, trust is the most difficult relationship to establish, and this has nothing to do with character design or temperament.

Akira Hatake wants Minato Namikaze to become one of his main DPS characters, so he'll need to put in some effort to persuade him.

Fortunately, Hatake Akira had several contingency plans for Minato Namikaze prepared early in the morning, and it was best to use them now.

Chapter 13 The True Terrifying Aspects of the Purple Chain.

There is no hatred without a cause, nor is there love without a reason.

Reality is different from comics or anime; Minato Namikaze is not someone who can be dismissed with just a few words.

There are essentially two ways to persuade Minato Namikaze: appeal to his emotions or tempt him with benefits.

However, it is clear that the latter is not applicable at all.

It's important to know that Minato Namikaze's teacher was Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and Jiraiya was Hiruzen Sarutobi's student. With this lineage, Minato Namikaze was purely a descendant of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, Sakumo Hatake's current status as a prospective Hokage is completely useless, leaving Akira Hatake with only the former option.

"There's really no point in hiding it," Akira Hatake smiled. "I simply want to find a powerful henchman, nothing more."

"Ming, why did you go to such lengths instead of staying close by?" Minato Namikaze tilted his head, his smile unchanged.

“I didn’t choose the more convenient option.” Akira Hatake shook his head. “My father’s status is what it is; he can’t protect me forever. But you are different. Not only are you powerful, but you also have a bright future.”

Although I don't want to admit that I'm worse than others, I know my own nature; I'm not someone who can settle down and work hard to improve.

In order to have a comfortable environment after graduating from the Ninja Academy, I must plan ahead for my future team leader.

And Minato, the Jonin, is the future mentor I've chosen.

I was originally planning to ask my father for help after I graduated, but I happened to run into Jonin Minato today, so I have to ask him to come earlier.

Akira Hatake's words were sincere and heartfelt, but when they reached Minato Namikaze's ears, they still overturned his worldview.

You can't rely on others!

Minato Namikaze knew this principle from a young age, which is why he desperately improved his strength, hoping that one day he could control and change his own destiny through his own power.

This inevitably reminded Minato Namikaze of Kushina Uzumaki. The reason she became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at a very young age was due to a combination of objective factors and her own lack of strength.

So Minato Namikaze couldn't understand why Akira Hatake would entrust his future to someone else.

"Although being trusted and recognized is a very happy thing, Ming, what you're doing... is very dangerous."

Minato Namikaze said with a serious expression, "If you are not strong enough and simply rely on your own abilities to ensure your future safety, then your life will not be in your own control."

"Of course I know that," Hatake Akira replied lazily, then made a request, "Jonin Minato, try releasing your killing intent at me."

Ok?

Minato Namikaze was taken aback by Akira Hatake's outrageous request.

His gaze swept back and forth across Akira Hatake's face, and only after confirming that Akira Hatake was not joking did he nod in agreement.

"Then be careful, Akira." But before releasing his killing intent, Minato Namikaze still reminded Akira.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, but you should be careful, Jonin Minato."

Minato Namikaze smiled at Akira Hatake's reminder, somewhat dismissing it, and then released the killing intent hidden deep in his heart.

Uh……

Akira Hatake suddenly felt as if an invisible hand was choking him. He not only had difficulty breathing and his body was shaking like a leaf, but he also experienced terrifying hallucinations similar to those of someone under a genjutsu.

Minato Namikaze's murderous aura seemed to solidify, making Akira Hatake, who was enveloped by it, feel as if the entire world had turned a cold gray.

Cold, lonely, and boundless tyranny.

Negative emotions welled up in his heart. Facing the fear of death, Akira Hatake's eyes involuntarily streamed tears, and the blurry, terrifying scene before his eyes made him sway unsteadily.

He seemed to see countless vengeful ghosts crawling out of hell, stretching out their pale hands, trying to drag Akira Hatake's body and soul into hell together.

"what!"
