Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

"By the way, Akira, did Rabbi Kiri, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, escape or..."

In the handsome tent, the four of them sat cross-legged and discussed until the end, when Jiraiya asked abruptly.

"Escaped."

Hatake Akira answered without thinking, and the expression on his face made it impossible to see any problem.

"Defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, this achievement is really amazing!" Jiraiya, doubting him, sighed after taking a sip of tea, "You deserve the name of Konoha's Supernova."

"Master, please stop praising me. You were even better than me when you were young."

"Hahaha, Ming said it from the bottom of my heart. When I was young..."

Jiraiya beamed with joy. After putting down the tea cup, he happily told Hatake Akira and others about his various proud achievements in his youth. He felt like he couldn't stop talking about it.

In this regard, Akira Hatake acted as a perfect observer, and his ability to praise was also quite outstanding.

As for why Kirabi should be let go, Hatake Akira had his own considerations.

As the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Kirabi is the top combat force in Cloud Hidden Village. His role on the battlefield is to some extent more useful than the Sandaime Raikage.

But one thing is that the reason why Kirabi has such a great deterrent effect in the war is that he is the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki.

After transforming into a tailed beast, the Eight-tailed Gyoshi's tailed beast jade or octopus tentacle attack can cause a devastating blow to the local ninja troops.

But precisely because of this, Hatake Akai was not afraid of Kirabi at all, and even took the initiative to let him go.

One is to deal more damage to Kirabi in the future, and then use the God-Eating Book to convert the damage he has caused into life energy and inject it into himself.

Secondly, of course, Kirabi would not dare to use the tailed beast jade in front of himself or Namikaze Minato after he got it right.

Hatake Akira used the Flying Thunder God to guide the tailed beast tama one after another, and transferred it to the Kumo ninja troops. Unless Kirabi got mad, he would no longer be able to use the tailed beast tama at the risk of accidentally injuring himself.

As for the octopus tentacle attack after the tailed beast transforms, its attack strength and threat are nothing compared to the tailed beast jade, and a ninja with a little strength can dodge it in time.

Taking these factors into consideration, letting go of Rabbi Riki, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, would generally do more harm than good to Konoha's interests.

But for Hatake Akira himself, this move has more advantages than disadvantages.

This is not because Akira Hatake is cold-blooded, but because Konoha's current war potential has not reached its limit. If it really wants to resist the 15,000 ninja troops from Kumogakure, it will be quite easy to do so.

And Akira Hatake has not forgotten that Onoki, the Tsuchikage in the original timeline, stabbed the Sandaime Raikage in the back!

This point is crucial, enough to become a turning point that has an extremely important impact on the victory or defeat when Jiraiya's troops fight against the 15,000 Kumo ninja troops.

Even though it is a mystery when the Tsuchikage Onoki took action because of the butterfly effect caused by Hatake Akira, one thing is certain, Onoki will definitely attack Kumogakure.

The reason why this is so certain is because of the irreconcilable hatred and conflict between Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village.

Even if the two sides cooperate now, it is only driven by interests.

But when there are differences of interest, Tsuchikage Onoki's attack will definitely be more ruthless than Konoha's!

Hatake Akira's move of letting Kirabi run away might have unexpected effects when Onoki, the Tsuchikage, stabs the Sandaime Raikage in the back.

"Okay, after talking so much, you are probably tired of hearing that I am tired."

Jiraiya rambled on about his highlight moments for more than half an hour, and finally ended the bragging on his own initiative.

The conversation changed, "Ming, I'll leave it to you to pick up the reinforcements. Do you need Minato to help you?"

"That's not necessary. I'm sure of myself."

Hatake Akira stood up and said, "Master, without further ado, I will prepare and go to carry out this task."

"Well, then go and come back quickly. Our situation here is still very critical." Jiraiya nodded and watched Hatake Akira leave.

"Don't worry, brat."

Glancing at Kakashi who was a little restless after Akira Hatake left, Jiraiya smiled and scolded, "I know you have a deep brotherhood, but you also have a task I assigned you!"

"Jiraiya-sama, please tell me."

"I am going to send an elite team to sneak into the Kingdom of Thunder and wait for an opportunity to destroy the supply route of Yunyin Village."

"This team will be led by you. I believe that with your blood-stained elimination sword skills, we are fully qualified for this mission."

Patting Kakashi on the shoulder, Jiraiya said earnestly, "Kakashi, this mission can only succeed and not fail, otherwise our frontline will be trapped in a bitter battle, or even..."

"I understand, Jiraiya-sama!"

Kakashi nodded firmly, then stood up, "Jiraiya-sama, I'm going down to prepare too."

"Well, go ahead and submit the list of your favorite ninjas in time, and I will make arrangements for you."

After Jiraiya said the last words, he also watched Kakashi leave the tent.

Then, Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato.

"Minato, do you have any different opinions on my arrangements?"

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jiraiya to ask him this, but he quickly shook his head, "Teacher, I have no objection."

"Minato, you have found a treasure..."

Jiraiya looked deeply at Namikaze Minato, "As long as nothing happens to the two brothers of the Hatake family, after the end of this ninja war, the fame that the two brothers can have will be very huge and terrifying."

"And as the teacher of these two brothers, you will have a bright future. Even the old man will look at you differently."

"Teacher, it's... it's too early to say this." Namikaze Minato is very cautious. Even though he thinks so in his heart, he still has to be cautious.

"It's a bit early, but now it's time for you to completely take over my job."

"Teacher, what do you mean..."

"That's what it means." Jiraiya patted Namikaze Minato hard on the shoulder, "From now on, you will be responsible for everything in the Northeastern defense force."

"But teacher, this is against the rules."

Namikaze Minato knew that he was cultivating himself again and giving himself a chance to cultivate his wings, but when it was time to give in, he still needed to give in.

The more people reach this stage, the more they need to be steady.

Sure enough, Jiraiya was very satisfied with Namikaze Minato's performance.

"Don't worry about this, I will still be the head coach on your behalf, and you can make up your own mind for the rest."

"Good teacher, I will live up to your trust!"

"Well, work hard, the future belongs to you young people..." Jiraiya stood up with a smile, "I'll go outside and take a look, you stay here and formulate a battle plan."

"is teacher!"

Namikaze Minato stood up to see him off, and after Jiraiya walked out of the tent, he stopped in front of the huge field map, clenching his fists and feeling excited.

…

"idiot!"

"A bunch of reckless people!"

"Are all the people in Yunyin Village full of muscles in their heads?"

"To put it nicely, it's like going out in full force to take revenge on Konoha, but to put it ugly, this behavior is irresponsible for the war!"

"Akazuchi, tell me, if you were Jiraiya, how would you respond?"

In Tsuchikage's office, Onoki was losing his temper because he couldn't believe the information in his hand.

"Sir, if it were me... I would cut off Yunyin Village's logistics supply route, causing the troops in front of them to suffer low morale due to lack of necessary war supplies."

As Tsuchikage Onoki's bodyguard, Akatsuchi still had some knowledge, but it was better that he didn't answer. After his answer, Onoki became even more irritable.

"If you all know something, of course Jiraiya also knows it. Maybe he's already taking action now!"

"But the Sandaime Raikage, that reckless man, acted like a normal person and still rushed forward on his own. He even sent me a letter asking me why I didn't follow him!"

"I would like to follow, but how can I follow?!"

Snapped!

Ohnoki slapped his small palm on the table fiercely, "Material preparation, personnel deployment, logistics route planning, travel route planning, etc. None of these require time to think about, and there can be no problems with any of them!"

"That reckless man like the Sandaime Raikage doesn't want to think about how much pressure the 15,000 ninja troops will put on the logistics supply line when they attack across the border!"

"And he doesn't want to think about such a long supply line and the emptiness inside the Kingdom of Thunder. If Konoha's ninjas successfully infiltrate, what kind of devastating blow it will cause them!"

"You still accuse me, he actually has the nerve to accuse me!"

"I really regret my alliance with those reckless men!"

"well……!"

After venting his anger, Onoki sat down on the chair in frustration, rubbing his forehead with one hand and showing pain.

I originally thought that after the two countries united, they would be able to go to one place and wreak havoc on the Fire Nation.

Unexpectedly, due to some changes, the Sandaime Raikage went crazy and led most of the ninjas in Kumogakure Village out regardless of the consequences!

Tsuchikage Onoki had already accurately predicted that the Sandaime Raikage's side would fail before the two sides started fighting, and it would be a disastrous defeat.

As long as Jiraiya's troops can withstand the first wave of attacks from the Cloud Hidden Village side, then the Cloud Hidden Village side will become weaker and weaker, and the logistical pressure will become heavier and heavier.

As long as Jiraiya's troops can hold on until the logistics supply of Kumogakure Village collapses, then Kumogakure Village will end in this war!

"Akazuchi, do you think we still need to cooperate with the Sandaime Raikage?"

"This...Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama, I think it's too early to say this now. I think it's better for us to wait and see."

Chitu thought for a while and could only vaguely talk about his thoughts.

"Well, let's take a look."

Ohnoki nodded, then tapped his fingers on the table, "Akazu, urge Dong Shiren and let him lead the team as soon as possible, so as not to cause a big disaster for those reckless men."

In fact, Onoki still hopes from the bottom of his heart that Kumogakure can defeat Jiraiya's troops in one fell swoop, so he will try his best to cooperate where necessary.

But cooperation is cooperation, but Onoki is also ready to make second-hand preparations.

As for how to prepare...

Of course, when Yunyin Village failed, he was the first one to jump out and stab Yunyin Village in the back!

And if you don’t stab someone, you have to stab someone hard, so that Yunyin Village will not be qualified to compete with Yanyin Village in the next 10 years!

Thinking like this, Onoki had some calculations in his mind.

"By the way, Chitu, ask Yunyin Village if they need us to send some manpower to help them protect their supply routes."

"This... I guess they won't agree." Akatsuki scratched his head, "Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama, we have a feud with them... Even if they agree, our ninja may not be willing to carry out this task."

"Forget it." Ohnoki waved his hand a little irritably, "Deploy a team of elite scouts directly to monitor the logistics supply route of Yunyin Village in real time. If there is any trouble, report it in time."

"Yes, Lord Sandaime Tsuchikage!"

"Also, leave a reserve force secretly near the border of the Country of Thunder in case of emergencies."

After listening to Onoki's arrangement, Akatsuchi's eyes lit up, then he nodded heavily and pushed out the door with brisk steps.
