Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Outside Konoha Village,

In a sparsely populated jungle.

"Master Wife, it's okay!"

"oh……"

After landing, Uzumaki Kushina was still a little unfinished, "Is it going to be fine so soon?"

"The master informed me that the matter has almost settled."

"Ming, you mean... the war on the front line... has been won?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked, but his words were full of disbelief.

"Yes, Lord Sandaime Hokage."

Hatake Akira nodded, then gave him a flattery.

"Thanks to your support, otherwise the progress on the front line would not have been so fast." At the same time, Uzumaki Kushina was not forgotten, "And the same goes for Master. Without the tailed beast jade and tailed beast chakra, Minato-sensei would not have been able to do it." Such great power."

"Of course!"

Uzumaki Kushina spoke briskly, and a cheerful expression immediately appeared on her face, "Don't even look at who I am, I am Uzumaki Kushina!"

After exchanging business blows, Hatake Akira had no intention of continuing to entangle, and he hurried back to the battlefield.

It can be predicted that when this tailed beast jade long-range strike tactic takes effect, the defeat of the Yun Ninja Village side is a foregone conclusion.

Everyone is willing to take part in beating up a drowned dog, and Akira Hatake is no exception.

And if you don't take advantage of this moment to deal more damage, so that you can use the God-Eating Book to severely convert a wave of life energy, there will be no such good opportunity in the future.

Akira Hatake must take advantage of the Third War in the Ninja World to accumulate enough capital to cope with many changes in the future.

But just when Akira Hatake said goodbye and was about to leave, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly called out to Akira Hatake.

"Ming, with Jiraiya and Minato on the front line, the defeated Kumogakure ninja troops can't make a big splash." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Akira with a smile, "Why don't you send Kushina off with me? What do you think about going back to the village?"

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen like this, Hatake Akira knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had other plans in mind.

But he said so, and it was hard for Hatake Akira to refuse openly.

And as Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the Kumogakure ninja troops on the front line in northeastern Konoha are indeed unable to make any trouble.

If that's the case, it's better to take a look at what kind of medicine Sarutobi Hiruzen sells in his gourd.

"Sandaime-sama is right, and I have consumed a lot of chakra just now, so I can take advantage of this time to recover."

Hatake Akira nodded with a smile, and found a more perfect reason.

"Haha, let's go back to the village together first. I happen to have something to talk to you about."

Old fox...

Hatake Akira complained in his heart, and then followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and walked side by side with Uzumaki Kushina, and the three of them slowly walked towards Konoha.

…

"That was just now..."

"The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Kushina, and another brat... If I read correctly, it should be Akira Hatake, one of the Twins of Konoha."

"Hatake Akira? Shouldn't he be on the battlefield where the Fire Country fights the Thunder Country?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't affect our mission."

"Well, let's stop discussing it and sneak into the vicinity of Konoha Hidden Village. There are spies in the village to help us!"

Not long after Hatake Akira and the others left, not far from where they were just now, several Iwagakure poked their heads out of the ground.

The art of earth escape and rock hiding.

This is an earth escape ninjutsu similar to the White Zetsu Mayfly Jutsu. It allows the caster to sneak underground, hiding his traces while approaching the target silently.

The Seismic Nuclear Team of Iwagakure Village also used this ninjutsu to safely avoid the many open and hidden sentries outside Konoha Village.

Of course, this has something to do with the Iwagakure spies in Konoha Village.

The intelligence provided by the spies to Kumo Ninja detailed the layout of sentries outside Konoha Village, and even guaranteed cooperation with the seismic nuclear team.

Using the Earth Release and Iwagakure techniques again, the seismic core team submerged into the earth again and headed towards Konoha Village in an extremely concealed manner.

In this regard, Hatake Ming and the other three did not notice at all, and still walked towards the village on their own.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Hatake Akira and others. After all, the number of sentient ninjas is rare, and none of the three Hatake Akira is a sentient ninja.

Just like that, when the three of them returned to the village, the three of them did not find the Iwa Ninja Seismic Nuclear Team that was about to head to Konoha Village.

After sending Kushina Uzumaki home, Akira Hatake followed the Sandaime Hokage and entered the Hokage Building.

Hokage's office,

After Hiruzen Sarutobi came back, he sat on the chair, took off the Hokage hat on his head, and placed it on the table.

"Ming, actually I stayed here because I wanted to ask you some questions." After sitting down, Sarutobi got straight to the point.

"Sandaime Hokage, please tell me."

"I want to know, what do you think of the Will of Fire?"

This is really the first time I have seen such direct Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Akira. This may also be the reason why Hatake Akira seldom communicates with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But no matter what, Sarutobi Hiruzen's question was obviously a test of Hatake Akira.

"As for the will of fire... I think it is an idea, an idea that unites Konoha." Hatake Akira replied without thinking.

"What's the specifics?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes brightened slightly, "Tell me more carefully."

"I think there are three specific manifestations of the will of fire."

"The first is dedication."

"Dedicate yourself to a better tomorrow for the village."

"The second is inheritance."

"After the dedication of our predecessors, my descendants should inherit the dedication of their predecessors and implement it persistently."

"The third is perfection."

"With the perseverance of our predecessors and ours, many crises and shortcomings will be exposed. We should make up for them and make the village better and better under the will of fire!"

Akira Hatake is very calm, and what he says is well-founded, logically self-consistent and interlocking. He has obviously carefully studied "The Will of Fire" written by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also quite satisfied with Hatake Akira's explanation just now and couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"If everyone could be like you, Konoha would be completely enveloped in sunlight."

"Sandaime Hokage-sama, is there darkness that is eroding the village in a place that I don't know about?" Hatake Akira asked knowingly, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi choke, who was just asking for money.

Is this a question that can be answered?

That Shimura Danzo was the darkness he supported?

How can this be!

"Ahem, no." Sarutobi Hiruzen said without changing his expression, "What I want to express is that as long as you strengthen your mind, the future of the village will be shrouded in light."

"I will, Sandaime Hokage-sama."

"Then what do you think of the ninjas and civilian ninjas in the village?" Immediately afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked another fatal question.

To put it simply, the ninja clan and civilians are groups with different interests;

But speaking more broadly, this is a conflict of interests between two classes.

Most of Konoha's elite education is occupied by ninjas of the ninja clan. Although civilians also have opportunities to get ahead, three have appeared since the establishment of Konoha: Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato.

Moreover, the reason why these three people are able to stand out is inextricably linked to some ninjas in the ninja clan. This person is naturally the current third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Strictly speaking, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato can only belong to civilian ninjas by birth, but the interests they represent behind them belong to the ninja clan.

In other words, the above-mentioned civilian ninjas are only the spokespersons of the Konoha ninja clan in the final analysis.

How do you say this?

After thinking about it, Hatake Akira decided to tell the truth!

Although Hatake Akira is not planning to flip the table just yet, he is now capable of going to the card table, playing chess, and competing with Konoha's top brass.

"Sandaime Hokage-sama, I feel that both the ninjas in the village and the civilian ninjas are the cornerstone of Konoha's strength, and we should treat them equally."

"How can we treat everyone equally?"

"I currently have a few half-baked ideas."

"Tell me about it." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and made a gesture of listening.

"First, follow the steps of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and encourage intermarriage between family ninjas and civilian ninjas."

"Second, increase investment in the education of civilian ninjas. All the knowledge taught in ninja schools should be more in-depth."

"Third, the ninja teachers assigned after graduation are all treated equally. The genin success rate of the class they lead will determine the difficulty of the teacher's future promotion."

"That's all for now." Hatake Akira glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who looked careless, and stood silently aside without speaking.

What Akira Hatake said was undoubtedly digging into the roots of the Konoha Ninja clan!

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew the lessons learned from the Senju Clan all too well, and he, the Sarutobi Clan, had a mouthful of food when the Senju Clan disappeared.

Although other ninja clans in Konoha also participated, they were still inferior to the Sarutobi clan.

"That's a good idea. I'll take note of what you said."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, but in his heart he had already defined Hatake Akira.

Trustworthy, but not trustworthy.

In other words, after this conversation, Hatake Akira has personally killed off his political future, at least as far as Sarutobi Hiruzen is concerned.

But Hatake Akira didn't think there was a problem at all.

After the battle between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, Namikaze Minato's personal reputation has reached its peak. As long as there are a few more highlight moments in the future, it will be difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to abdicate.

There was a wave of wind and waves, but Hiruzen Sarutobi could not overcome the storm.

And Hatake Akira also figured out why Sarutobi Hiruzen came to talk to him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to confirm Hatake Akira's position. After all, Hatake Akira's current achievements and reputation have made him the number one person in the new generation.

And the same is true for his younger brother Kakashi. If nothing unexpected happens, the Hatake family will soar into the sky in the future.

Then, it is necessary to determine Hatake Akira's political stance in advance.

But it is a pity that this trial made Sarutobi Hiruzen happy but also a little regretful.

"Okay, Akira." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, "Go back to the front line."

"Um."

Hatake Akira nodded, and just when he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, a sudden change occurred!
