Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was chasing the root ninja, suddenly looked back at Konoha.

The sound of the mountain roar and tsunami still reached Sarutobi Hiruzen's ears, which made him feel mixed emotions.

One is the expectation for the future of Konoha, the second is the appreciation for Hatake Akira, and the third is concern for his political career.

A new generation replaces an old one. This is a truth that has not changed since ancient times.

Lions will always grow old one day, but when this day really comes, unwillingness and struggle will naturally occur.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in this state at this time. Once upon a time, he had also received heartfelt praise and cheers from the villagers of Konoha and the ninjas of Konoha.

But now...

Closing and opening his eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath to calm down, and then the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up a lot.

"Hizu, how far are we from the ninja team at that position?"

"500 meters ahead!"

"Okay, everyone, speed up a little more!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen determined in his heart that the fleeing ninja team in front was from the Iwagakure village. He had a murderous look on his face and made up his mind to make them pay the price.

Konoha is not something you can come to if you want, or leave if you want to!

But after chasing forward for a few minutes, the fleeing ninja team suddenly stopped. Before Sarutobi Hiruzen and others could attack, the root ninjas knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Hokage-sama!"

"this……"

Not only was Sarutobi Hiruzen stunned, but all the Konoha ninjas following Sarutobi Hiruzen had the same expression on their faces.

How could he be a ninja at the root?

Why are they running?

"Everyone, get up."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became extremely ugly to the naked eye, and he was so scheming that he figured out the key immediately.

"Did Danzo send you here?"

"yes."

"Didn't Danzo tell you anything else?"

"This... no!" The ninja led by Genbu gritted his teeth and bit his neck to death.

"Hmph, very good!" Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted, "Shimura Danzo is really good at planning!"

Shaking his sleeves fiercely, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and left.

And before leaving, he didn't forget to leave a message, "You go back and tell Danzo Shimura that I thank him on behalf of the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"

"Rizu, let's go!"

Hinata Hizashi hurriedly followed Sarutobi Hiruzen, but before leaving, just like Sarutobi Hiruzen, he turned back and completely forgot to take a look at the root ninja who was still kneeling on the ground.

Shaking his head and sighing again, Hinata Hinata felt bad in his heart.

At this juncture, Shimura Danzo and the roots under his control actually jumped out and stabbed him at this moment...

Obviously, Hinata and Hizu had a rough guess.

If this kind of tacit understanding cannot be seen, Hinata Hizatsu will not be worthy of being the leader of the Hyuga clan.

"Rizu, what do you think of today's events?"

On the way back to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked abruptly.

"I think……"

"You have to think carefully before answering." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked deeply at Hinata and Hinashi.

Hinata Hinata was stunned for a moment, then shook his head seriously, "I don't know what the Sandaime Hokage is talking about, and I don't know what happened today."

"Really?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's face looked much better, and he glanced back at the Hokage Guards, "Are you the same?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The members of the Hokage Guards have been following Hiruzen Sarutobi for a long time. As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi looks at him, they can guess the general meaning of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This is a very sensitive incident, so the members of the Hokage Guards will naturally choose to remain deaf and dumb.

"Very good, now is a critical period of the war, there can be no chaos in the village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained in depth, and then continued on his way without looking back.

The same was true for Hinata Hizashi who chose to compromise, but the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't stand how blatantly Sarutobi Hiruzen protected Shimura Danzo.

If you do something wrong, you do something wrong, and you can never clean it up.

Moreover, when fighting against the outside world, one must first make peace at home. If Shimura Danzo is not eliminated, there will be no peace for the day. If he can do this kind of thing for the sake of profit today, he will do even more extreme things for the sake of profit tomorrow!

But no matter how much Hinata and Hinata couldn't stand it, they could only endure it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is still the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, so it would be unwise to openly go against him.

But today's incident still made Hinata and Hizu's sense of Sarutobi Hiruzen go down again.

…

When Sarutobi Hiruzen led his team back to Konoha Village, all he could see was that Konoha villagers were helping each other and showing great enthusiasm.

Akira Hatake, on the other hand, was directing from the sidelines and sometimes taking action.

But whenever Hatake Akira takes action, someone will always take over the work in his hands and let Hatake Akira rest first.

In this regard, Hatake Ming knew that he could not resist, so he simply let it go.

"Ming, good job!"

"Thank you, Lord Sandaime Hokage, for the compliment." Akira Hatake bowed, "And it's also Minato-sensei who teaches well."

"Really?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "Minato taught a good disciple!"

He patted Hatake Akira on the shoulder and said, "It feels good to be surrounded by others, doesn't it?"

Feeling the strong force on his shoulders, Hatake Akira felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he suppressed it immediately.

"No, on the contrary, I'm a little scared." Akira Hatake glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "I didn't do well in many places. These praises are not true to me at all."

"Not arrogant or impetuous, that's good." Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, "I still need you on the front line, right? Take a rest and hurry back."

"Actually, there's no need to rest. I can just rush back now."

"You really don't want to take a break?"

"It's really not necessary. I've just rested for a while, and my chakra has almost recovered."

Hatake Akira still had a smile on his face, waved towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then disappeared in a flash.

After Hatake Akira left, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to a relatively high ruins, with a look of kindness on his face and a look of sadness at the same time.

"Everyone, come here. Today I..."

The voice of Hiruzen Sarutobi spread far away. When the villagers and ninjas of Konoha heard the voice of Hiruzen Sarutobi, they all put down their work and gathered in an orderly manner.

Afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a speech, mentioning Iwagakure Village as the main culprit in destroying Konoha, admitting his mistakes, and making a series of guarantees.

Then he quoted scriptures and encouraged the Konoha villagers and ninjas through some previous things, and also talked about some of his own difficulties and efforts.

Finally, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who told about his role and performance in this incident, followed by collective mobilization and the arrangement of various tasks.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's impromptu speech was very successful. The residents of Konoha and some ninjas seemed to have been beaten to death, with high enthusiasm and high energy.

But in the middle of the speech, Hinata Hiashi found an excuse to leave.

He really couldn't stand such hypocritical Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Akira Hatake and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the biggest contributors to the attack on Konoha, didn't even mention a word!

Hinata Hinata is about the same age as Namikaze Minato. This is the time when he is young and vigorous. Even though he has some power, he still can't see through some things.

Akira Hatake, who used the Flying Thunder God technique to rush on his way, did not choose to return directly to the frontline battlefield.

He doesn't have enough chakra!

"Damn it!" Hatake Akira's suppressed anger burst out, "It's true that the older I get, the more I go back. You are so wary of me before I even do anything. Do you really think I want to be Hokage?!"

Encountering this kind of situation, anyone with any temper can't stand it, even Hatake Akira's temperament can't stand it.

It can't be said that it's a thankless job, it's just what Sarutobi Hiruzen did. He was obviously wary of Hatake Akira, and felt that he was now suspected of being a master of his own.

But the problem is that Hiruzen Sarutobi is not the emperor of Konoha, and Akira Hatake is not a tool man.

Hatake Ming didn't need any compliments, but expelling people as soon as the matter was over was something he couldn't do without ten years of cerebral congestion.

Angrily crushing the Bingliang Pill in his hand, Hatake Akira threw the crumbs in the air, gritted his teeth and used two skill points he had reserved in advance.

As the light of the skill level upgrade flashed away, the passive of the Prophecy of Time equipment was triggered, and Hatake Akira recovered 40% of his total chakra within six seconds.

Without hesitation, Hatake Akira disappeared from the spot again.

…

"Isn't Ming back yet?"

Jiraiya approached Namikaze Minato with a worried look on his face.

With Akira Hatake's speed and amount of chakra, he should have been back long ago after completing his cooperation with Namikaze Minato.

"No."

Namikaze Minato also had some worry on his face, but more of it was regret.

If Hatake Akira had rushed back as soon as he sent the signal, relying on Hatake Akira's unparalleled ability to mow grass, the outcome of this battle could be increased by another 30%.

But Hatake Akira didn't know why he was delayed. Although Namikaze Minato expressed his understanding, Hatake Akira still had to bear the blame for delaying the fighter plane.

"Then since Ming hasn't come back yet, let's catch up here..."

Jiraiya was also a little unwilling.

The Konoha ninja troops also suffered heavy losses in this battle. Although Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato's exquisite cooperation turned the tide in the end, they still suffered more than half the casualties.

Of the nearly 4,000 ninja troops, there were less than 2,000 left at this time.

Although the Kumo ninja side suffered more casualties, and also damaged the Sandaime Raikage, which was considered to have destroyed half of Kumo Hidden Village, it still failed to achieve the previously expected effect.

If Akira Hatake rushes back as soon as possible...

"I understand that he probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to delay the fighter plane. He probably encountered an emergency that we didn't know about."

"What kind of emergency could happen in Konoha Village..."

After hearing Namikaze Minato's excuse for Hatake Akira, Jiraiya retorted at first, but in the end his voice became lower and lower and his eyes slowly opened wider.

"Could it be..." Jiraiya didn't dare to think about it, "No, stop chasing, we must ask Ming properly!"

"I know teacher, I'm already in contact."

It has to be said that Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato had a very accurate feeling, but just when Namikaze Minato raised his hand to use the Flying Thunder God's mark to communicate with Hatake Akira, Hatake Akira arrived at Namikaze at the same time. Beside the door.

"Teacher, Master."

"I'm late……"

Hatake Aki showed up and only had time to say a few words before Jiraiya approached him anxiously and asked.

"Ming, did something happen in the village?"

"Otherwise you wouldn't have come back so late."

Jiraiya's questioning made Hatake Akira take a deep look at him, somewhat admiring Jiraiya's keenness, and then nodded.

"Something unexpected did happen."

Hatake Akiza carefully told the story of Konoha Village being attacked by the Iwa Ninja Seismic Nuclear Team, which immediately made Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato furious.

The two of them couldn't stand having their home robbed.

But when they learned that Sarutobi Hiruzen had dismissed Hatake Akira in just two sentences, the two of them fell silent, with uncertain expressions in their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Ming, the old man may have some considerations of his own..."

Naturally, Jiraiya knew that his words were weak and weak. He couldn't finish his words halfway through, and his face turned red like a monkey's butt.

"Well, it's his consideration."

Hatake Akira nodded lightly, rarely using honorifics in his words.

"I'm going to clean up the battlefield and comfort my injured comrades." Jiraiya took the opportunity to run away, obviously not wanting to get involved, "You and Minato are in charge of this area, I'll go to the rear and take a look."

After saying that, Jiraiya disappeared in a flash, leaving Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze behind.

"Ming, I know your grievances, but I also know that sooner or later, you will vent your grievances."

Namikaze Minato looked at Hatake Akira with firm eyes, "I have everything."

Hatake Akira was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic.

Although Namikaze Minato didn't say it directly, the meaning behind his words was already obvious. Namikaze Minato would take the initiative to compete for the position of Hokage!

"I believe in the teacher."

Hatake Akira nodded, then reached out and took out a seal scroll from his ninja bag and handed it to Namikaze Minato, with a playful expression on his face.

"This is..." Namikaze Minato was curious.

"My wife asked me to bring you a lunch." Hatake Akira stared at Namikaze Minato's face and felt a little overjoyed when he saw his face turned the color of liver.

"And the mistress also asked me to supervise you to finish the lunch..."
