Ninja: I'm really an auxiliary ninja

Chapter 227 Returning to the village and encountering Uchiha Itachi in his infancy.

Promising benefits and leaving Nohara Rin's "corpse" behind, Akira Hatake turned around and took most of the Konoha ninjas under Orochimaru's command back to the battlefield between the two countries.

Using the Flying Thunder God's Guide Thunder to teleport a large number of ninja troops in one go is a very draining effort on energy and chakra.

With Hatake Akira's current strength, he had to go back and forth several times before he finally got it right.

In general, with the intervention of Akira Hatake, the mobility of the ninja troops of the Land of Fire was stretched to the maximum, which to a certain extent has declared the end of the Third Ninja World War.

Hatake Akira didn't want to mix in the remaining scraps.

First, Akira Hatake participated in the entire Third Ninja War, fighting countless battles large and small, which made him somewhat physically and mentally exhausted.

The second is that Minato Namikaze's succession ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow. As a disciple of Minato Namikaze and the current leader of the Hatake clan, Akira Hatake has no reason not to participate.

Of course, Kakashi cannot be left behind either.

After arranging everything and once again consolidating the defense front on the northwest border of the Land of Fire, Akira Hatake took Kakashi and returned to Konoha Village.

"Huh... I'm finally back after more than a year."

Hatake Akira looked at the familiar door in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, brother, I'm finally back..."

Kakashi also nodded, "The war is finally over, and the days we have been waiting for in the future are finally coming."

"indeed."

Hatake Akira put his arm on Kakashi's shoulder, and the two walked into the gate of Konoha, arm in arm.

"Master Ming! Master Kakashi!"

The two Konoha ninjas guarding the door recognized the two of them at first sight. They saluted respectfully and shouted loudly.

"Ah?! Are Lord Akira and Lord Kakashi back?!"

"It should be, I just heard someone calling the names of the two adults!"

"Let's go meet our hero!"

"We have to go. If it weren't for the two adults assisting Minato-sama in this ninja war, the village would have lost many ninjas!"

As the loud shouts of the gatekeeper ninja spread far and wide, a group of Konoha residents and Konoha ninjas near the Konoha gate rushed to "block the door."

However, even though we came to "block the door", the order was very good and there was no feeling of chaos at all.

Everyone lined up on both sides of the road, and while they were neatly arranged, they all turned to look at the two brothers, Hatake Akira and Kakashi.

Snap, snap, snap, snap...

Warm applause broke out, and people chanted the names of Akira Hatake and Kakashi, with expressions of joy and admiration on their faces.

Wow.

Two children from an unknown family ran up to Hatake Akira and Kakashi, holding flowers in their hands, and kept throwing the petals they had just picked.

"this……"

Kakashi was a little overwhelmed and a little flattered. The residents and ninjas of Konoha were so enthusiastic.

"Why, you looked invincible on the battlefield, but when you got home, you became coquettish?"

Hatake Akira joked, then took Kakashi in his arms and walked forward.

Moreover, Hatake Akira also waved to both sides as he walked, which not only caused a lot of applause from the people around him, but even some young girls in their early years blushed with embarrassment.

"Wow! Master Ming waved to me!"

"Go, go, Master Ming is clearly waving to me!"

"You two, wake up. With your appearance, Master Ming will look down on you!"

"snort!"

"But why do I feel... Kakashi-sama has a cold look, and he is much cooler than Akira-sama!"

"Yeah, yeah! I think so too!"

"I have decided, tomorrow I will start my pursuit of Lord Kakashi!"

"You guys, please save it, how could Lord Kakashi take a fancy to a piece of shit like you!"

"you……!"

How could the exchanges between some young girls be hidden from the ears of Akira Hatake and Kakashi? The girls' oriole-like chirping sounds were unique among the noisy sounds around them.

"Kakashi, how do you feel?"

"Uh... it's weird... I'm not used to it."

"You have to get used to it slowly. This may be the bad thing about becoming famous."

"But I think it's great, it feels great!"

Akira Hatake enjoyed it very much, which is why he chose to enter Konoha through the gate of Konoha instead of returning directly to Hatake's house using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Not returning to one’s homeland without returning to one’s hometown is like walking in brocade at night. A young man with high spirits naturally needs a suitable scene.

Now, a crowd of Konoha residents and ninjas greet each other, which is the scene Hatake Akira has been looking forward to.

"Master Ming, can I become a great ninja like you?"

Suddenly, a very cute-looking but cold-looking black-haired kid ran over and stood in front of Hatake Akira, looking up at him.

Uchiha Itachi?

Hatake Akira naturally noticed the person coming, and through his clothes and the vague outline of his face, he could barely identify that it was the young Uchiha Itachi.

For the filial son of the Uchiha clan, Hatake Akira has very complicated feelings.

Akira Hatake admired Uchiha Itachi's genius and understood his deep love for his brother Uchiha Sasuke.

But correspondingly, Uchiha Itachi's subsequent act of killing everyone in his family was still difficult for Akira Hatake to accept.

Uchiha Itachi is still too extreme. Although such extreme people can gain a group of extreme "fans", Hatake Akira, who advocates "moderateness", can't stand it.

But there is one sentence that Akira Hatake agrees with very much,

Everything must start from the doll!

Obviously, Uchiha Itachi was still young at this time, and his plasticity was undoubtedly the strongest among them.

Kakashi next to Akira Hatake is the best example. Akira Hatake is confident in guiding the extreme Itachi Uchiha to the bright road he hopes.

"Forehead……"

The infant Uchiha Itachi resisted a little, but after struggling for a while, he was held in Hatake Akira's arms.

The current Uchiha Itachi was less than three years old, and Hatake Akira held him in his arms like a baby, which made the precocious Uchiha Itachi quite uncomfortable.

Except for his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, no one had ever hugged him like this.

Moreover, since Uchiha Itachi turned two years old, Uchiha Itachi, who claimed to have grown up, never let Uchiha Mikoto hold him again.

But now...

He was actually held in Hatake Akira's arms in a very shameful way.

But Uchiha Itachi, who should be embarrassed, didn't struggle too much, and being in close contact with his idol made Uchiha Itachi a little intoxicated.

Everyone in the ninja world admires the strong, and Akira Hatake is exactly a strong man. Even with the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, he has to agree with Akira Hatake's strength.

Moreover, Uchiha Itachi is still young and does not consider comprehensive things. Of course, he only chooses powerful people to worship and does not consider others.

"He's a brat from the Uchiha clan..."

Hatake Akira became playful and reached out to touch Uchiha Itachi's forehead, "Tell me, what's your name?"

"Itachi, Uchiha Itachi!"

Even though Uchiha Itachi admired Hatake Akira's strength, he was neither humble nor arrogant in his answers. At a young age, he already had a mind that was difficult to surpass by his peers.

In response, Hatake Akira couldn't help but nod, Uchiha Itachi was indeed outstanding.

At the same time, Hatake Akira began to love talents again, and even considered cultivating Uchiha Itachi from an early age.

God Weasel, let’s call him that for now…

He is a ninja with extremely high potential, on par with Kaden!

If you train him well and don't let him go down the same old path, I believe that Itachi will have a bright future that will make people's jaws drop.

"Uchiha Itachi, I remember you!"

Akira Hatake looked down at Uchiha Itachi, "Although you are young now, you will be a ninja comparable to me in the future."

"Can I...really?"

Uchiha Itachi's face lit up with joy. Just when he was about to grin, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and then quickly became cold and serious again.

"Master Ming, I will definitely work hard!"

"Work hard? This is inevitable on the road to growth." Hatake Akira said lightly, "But in addition to hard work, Bi also needs a guide."

"Guide...?"

"Yes, guide."

Hatake Akira nodded, "A qualified guide can allow you to use the most time-saving and labor-saving method to obtain the maximum harvest. It can be said to be the most important link on your road to success."

"Then Itachi, are you willing to let me be your guide?"

"I……"

Akira Hatake's words caused the young Uchiha Itachi to lose his mind instantly. He originally just wanted to talk to Akira Hatake, whom he admired, but who could have imagined that things would develop to this...

"If you don't want to, there's nothing you can do."

Akira Hatake put Uchiha Itachi down and led Kakashi forward.

But just after Hatake Akira took a dozen steps forward, Uchiha Itachi behind him suddenly caught up with him.

Stopping beside Akira Hatake again, Uchiha Itachi bowed to Akira Hatake at a 90° angle, his small voice full of seriousness.

"Master Ming, I am willing!"

"Hahaha……!"

Hatake smiled happily, thinking that children are easy to kidnap, and Uchiha Itachi, no matter how precocious he is, is still just a big kid at this time!

"You made the right decision that will benefit you throughout your life, but..."

"But what, Ming-sama?" Uchiha Itachi straightened up, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"You still need to ask your parents and the current leader of the Uchiha clan about this matter."

Akira Hatake knelt down and rubbed Uchiha Itachi's little head, "Go and discuss this matter with your parents. If there is no problem, come see me at Hatake's house tonight."

"Um!"

Itachi Uchiha nodded, and after Hatake Akira and Kakashi left, he turned his head and looked to his side.

After trotting over, Uchiha Itachi came to an Uchiha tribesman who was a few years older than him, his eyes full of joy.

"Brother Zhishui, Lord Ming, he..."

"I didn't expect that Lord Akira would actually do this." Uchiha Shisui looked at Hatake Akira's shrinking back until he disappeared, and then looked at Uchiha Itachi again.

"This is a great opportunity for you, and it is also a great opportunity for the Uchiha clan."

"Is it also helpful to our clan...?"

Uchiha Itachi hasn't been exposed to too much of the chaos of the Uchiha clan yet, and it's normal for him to be a little confused because his mind is relatively simple.

"Yes, and it's big."

Uchiha Shisui is different. As the grandson of Uchiha Kagami, he has been exposed to far more profound things since he was a child than Uchiha Itachi.

"Brother Zhisui, do you think my parents can agree?"

"Nine times out of ten, I won't refuse."

Uchiha Shisui took Uchiha Itachi's hand, "Don't think too much now, come back to the tribe with me and tell Aunt Mikoto this matter."

"Um!"

The two boys, one big and one small, left together, and the two Hatake brothers, whose surroundings gradually became quieter, also started chatting.

"Brother, why do you think so highly of that brat named Uchiha Itachi? You even want to accept him as your disciple."

There was not much expression on Kakashi's face, but Akira Hatake could hear the displeasure in his words.

"Uchiha Itachi will be the beginning of improving the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan, and will also be the link between the two parties."

Hatake Akira raised his head and glanced at the Hokage Building, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's hurry over. I believe father and Minato-sensei have been waiting for a long time."
