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

But dragging this out indefinitely isn't a solution, and Akira Hatake is worried that something unexpected might happen in a little while.

Minato Namikaze was rendered powerless due to depleted chakra, and Hizashi Hyuga was critically injured by Killer Bee's punch. Kakashi still had the strength to fight, but he couldn't keep up with Killer Bee's speed at this moment, inevitably putting him on the defensive.

The idea of ​​retreat reclaimed Akira Hatake's mental high ground.

Having made up his mind, Akira Hatake once again faced Killer Bee, while simultaneously moving Hizashi Hyuga to the other side.

"Let's see how many times you can save your companion!"

Killer Bee stared fiercely at Akira Hatake, then turned his attention to Minato Namikaze.

However, Killer Bee did not notice that when Hyuga Hizashi was being transferred, Hatake Akira made a few small moves.

Following the same method, Akira Hatake rushed to rescue Minato Namikaze. Although he succeeded in the end, Kakashi suffered again.

Fortunately, Akira Hatake's purplish-red chain is now tied around Kakashi's waist, significantly boosting his physical attributes and allowing him to barely withstand Killer Bee's swift attacks.

Despite being able to defend, Kakashi was still at a disadvantage. However, as time passed, Kakashi somehow got used to Killer Bee's attack rhythm.

This shocked Killer Bee, and his determination to kill the two of them grew stronger.

Now that both brothers have this kind of strength, if we don't get rid of them now, who in the entire ninja world will be able to stop them in two or three years?

Just as Killer Bee intensified his attack, intending to kill Kakashi first, Akira Hatake had already completed his preparations.

"The Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!"

Akira Hatake formed hand seals, and then an invisible spatial barrier unfolded, engulfing Minato Namikaze and Hizashi Hyuga before closing.

The two people lying on the ground also vanished instantly as the spatial barrier closed.

Killer Bee naturally noticed this scene as well, and immediately felt extremely irritated.

He had confirmed that the second Tailed Beast Ball launched by the Eight-Tails was teleported to the center of the Cloud Village ninja force by Akira Hatake using the same method he had just used.

Damn!

What kind of shameless ninjutsu is this!

Killer Bee gave Akira Hatake a sinister look before focusing all his attention on Kakashi.

Killer Bee abruptly blocked Kakashi's long sword as it swung towards him, then suddenly raised his head and slammed it down on Kakashi's face!

This is Killer Bee's first eight slashes in Tailed Beast Chakra Mode!

Although it may seem like an ordinary headbutt, any attack method becomes unique and powerful once it incorporates the chakra of a tailed beast.

Just as Kakashi was about to fight Killer Bee to the death, a familiar hand landed on his shoulder, and then the scene in front of him changed instantly, accompanied by the dizziness that comes with the unique experience of traversing space.

By the time Kakashi came to his senses, he had already been taken to safety by Akira Hatake using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze and Hizashi Hyuga, who had arrived earlier, were lying not far from Kakashi.

"Brother, what's the daimyo of the Land of Hot Water?" Kakashi asked.

Akira Hatake waved the remaining strip of cloth in his hand helplessly. "We vanished during the first Tailed Beast Ball attack, but it's not a big deal. We've completed our mission."

The scene changes.

Killer Bee's headbutt missed, but the force of the attack still created ripples in the surrounding air and blasted a huge hole in the ground.

"I remember you!"

Killer Bee's attack missed, and after looking around in vain, his face grew even more gloomy.

Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake, Kakashi, and Hizashi Hyuga have all run away!

"We'll settle this blood debt later!"

Killer Bee clenched his fists, his frustration palpable. What should have been a sure win in a head-on confrontation had been dragged to a draw by Akira Hatake, who used the Flying Thunder God Technique to his advantage…

Looking at the devastation before him and the terrain altered by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball, Killer Bee thought of the Cloud Village ninjas who had perished in the second Tailed Beast Ball and felt utterly pathetic!

Furthermore, Killer Bee also bears direct responsibility for the deaths of his comrades. If there hadn't been a second Tailed Beast Ball, or if the main force had been withdrawn to a more distant location before using the Tailed Beast Ball, the outcome would have been much better.

But there are no "what ifs" in life. Killer Bee could only turn away dejectedly, leap away from the place where the battle had just taken place, and rush towards the center of the explosion of the second Tailed Beast Ball.

Killer Bee still harbored some hope. He felt that there should still be survivors of the Cloud Village ninja affected by the Tailed Beast Ball. Saving one more would lessen his guilt.

Chapter 124 Developing new ninjutsu is urgently needed!

The front line of the northeastern defense forces of Konoha, led by Jiraiya.

A large number of ninjas are busily constructing a series of defensive fortifications, and it is not difficult to spot civilians from the Land of Hot Springs among them.

Although Jiraiya paid a reward, this was the first time he had ever dragged civilians from the Land of Hot Springs into the war since becoming commander-in-chief.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake, and Kakashi were just too important to Konoha!

It can be said that Minato Namikaze is now the pillar of Konoha's younger generation, while Akira Hatake and Kakashi are undoubtedly the pillars of Konoha's future.

As for Hyuga Hizashi, although he is the head of the Hyuga branch family, his status is still quite different from that of Namikaze Minato and the other two.

Even so, this four-person team can be considered to be in a class of its own at this stage in Konoha.

If this four-man squad were to be surrounded and killed by the main force of the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, the morale of the Konoha ninja forces would be severely damaged.

Not to mention the significant impact the sacrifice of the four would have on the future of Konoha, issues that Jiraiya did not want to face.

Although Jiraiya had repeatedly stated before the four embarked on their mission that he would not send Konoha ninja forces to provide assistance, given the current situation, he had no choice but to take the risk and try.

Just as Jiraiya was pacing back and forth in the tent, Akira Hatake suddenly appeared in front of him.

Moreover, not only Akira Hatake, but also Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, and Hizashi Hyuga appeared safely behind Akira Hatake.

However, the fact that the three people behind Akira Hatake were unharmed was only relative; in reality, their condition could only be described as miserable.

Kakashi was in a better position, with bloodstains on the corners of his mouth and a slight dent in his chest. Apart from being somewhat listless, his external injuries did not appear to be very serious.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, had lost his usual calm and gentle demeanor. He was disheveled and weak, and tried several times to struggle to his feet, but in the end, it was all in vain.

The one with the most serious injuries was Hyuga Hizashi.

If Minato Namikaze couldn't stand up because his chakra was severely depleted and his mental state was poor, then Hizashi Hyuga was truly seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Even though Akira Hatake's timely milk saved his life, he was still hit hard by Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Chakra Mode punch without any defense, and the terrifying internal injuries inside his body were shocking!

There's no need to count how many ribs he broke; his sternum was completely collapsed, and many bone fragments had pierced through his muscles and skin, protruding from his body. It's a miracle that he's managed to hold on this long.

"Watergate!"

Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise, completely ignoring Akira Hatake and Kakashi, and even the critically injured Hizashi Hyuga, before rushing straight to Minato Namikaze's side.

The closeness and distance between people are immediately apparent, which is something that doesn't draw much criticism.

"Teacher... I'm not in any major problems, it's just that my chakra is depleted..."

Minato Namikaze's voice was somewhat weak, but he still managed to force a smile, hoping to reassure everyone that he would come back safely.

"Master, we should hurry and call the medical ninja over."

Akira Hatake remained relatively calm and immediately reminded Jiraiya, who was somewhat out of control.

"Yes, medical ninja, medical ninja!"

Jiraiya suddenly snapped out of his daze, repeated a few words, then looked up and started shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Someone is coming!!!"

"Lord Jiraiya, what happened?!"

Several ninjas who were waiting outside the tent rushed in; it was the first time they had ever heard Jiraiya shout so hysterically.

"Go and call the medical ninjas over! There are seriously wounded here!"

The ninjas who rushed in naturally saw Minato Namikaze lying in Jiraiya's arms, and Hizashi Hyuga, who was barely breathing and whose bones were exposed.

Although he had questions about how they got there, he subconsciously carried out Jiraiya's order, using the Body Flicker Technique to leave the tent and summon medical ninjas as quickly as possible.

In less than a minute, three medical ninjas carrying medical kits rushed into the tent. They ignored Jiraiya and knelt down to check on the physical condition of Minato Namikaze and Hizashi Hyuga.

"How are their physical conditions?"

After a short period of calm, Jiraiya completely recovered from his earlier embarrassment and regained his usual composure and wisdom in important matters.

Hearing Jiraiya's calm and firm question, the medical ninja who was examining Minato Namikaze looked up and gave Jiraiya a reassuring smile.

"Lord Jiraiya, there's no need to worry. Jonin Minato's body is fine. It's just that he overexerted himself by taking the soldier pill and then using up all his chakra again."

"As long as he rests quietly in bed for about a week, Jonin Minato's body will fully recover."

"That's good, that's good..." Jiraiya finally felt relieved, but then looked at the spot where Hyuga Hizashi was lying, "Hizashi's injuries...?"

"Lord Jiraiya, this is troublesome!"

The medical ninja who was treating Hyuga Hizashi Ken's injuries raised his head, his hand still emitting a glowing green light as he continued to use the Healing Palm Technique.

"Logically speaking, with injuries of this severity, Hyuga Hizashi should have died on the spot, but for some unknown reason, there is a huge mass of life energy in his body that is keeping him alive with his last breath."

"But life energy is only an aid. Apart from enhancing the cell activity and self-healing speed of Hyuga Hizashi's body, it doesn't do much for his dislocated bones."

"To save Hyuga Hizashi now, we can only reset his broken bones first, and then stop the internal bleeding so that we can better treat him."

"only……"

"But what?!" Jiraiya quickly pressed for an answer.

"However, I'm worried that Hyuga Hizashi won't be able to hold on until then. He might die from excessive blood loss while we're putting his bones back in place..."

"Is there any solution?" Jiraiya asked again.

“Yes, there is…” A glint flashed in the eyes of the medical ninja, “If I can add another bit of life energy to Hyuga Hizashi’s body, I’m confident I can save him!”

As soon as the medical ninja finished speaking, he looked up at Akira Hatake.

Without hesitation, Akira Hatake raised his hand and shot out a purplish-red chakra chain, which was tied to Hizashi Hyuga's waist at the same time, while activating his third skill, Tai Gua: Longevity.

A surge of pure life energy, visible to the naked eye, flowed into Hyuga Hizashi's body along the chakra chain, immediately improving his pale complexion.

However, after completing this step, Akira Hatake's lips curled into an unnatural smile, and his gaze toward the medical ninja held a hint of hostility.

Fortunately, before the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, Akira Hatake took advantage of the time when he was assisting Tsunade with her training to learn some knowledge about medical ninjutsu from her.

The medical ninja's half-truth and half-lies might fool Jiraiya or some inexperienced fellow practitioners, but they weren't enough to deceive Akira Hatake, who was trained by Tsunade.

"interesting……"

Akira Hatake secretly kept this in mind, but then ignored these shady dealings, figuring there would be plenty of opportunities to uncover the truth later.
