Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Early the next morning, Hatake Sakumo visited the Yuhi clan with gifts and discussed with Yuhi Mahko about the engagement between Hatake Akira and Yuhi Mahko.

All in all, things went well.

After all, with the current power of the Hatake clan, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the first clan in Konoha.

The leader of the Hatake clan, Akira Hatake, would definitely be appointed as the Fifth Hokage if nothing unexpected happened or he was lazy.

Hatake Kakashi is now the captain of the Hokage Guards. Although he has little real power, he can't help but follow Minato Namikaze every day, whispering and watching, and he can learn a lot.

And it's more than that.

Those who are close to the water tower come first, and it is very convenient for Kakashi Hatake to communicate with Minato Namikaze. If Akira Hatake does not want to be the fifth generation Hokage, Kakashi Hatake is undoubtedly the second most popular candidate.

Sakumo Hatake, the last member of the Hatake clan, although at his current age, it is impossible for him to become the Hokage of Konoha.

But don't forget that he is in charge of Konoha's largest violent department, the ANBU.

Although the position of ANBU Minister is not well-known in the civilian circles of Konoha, in the eyes of the major ninja clans in Konoha, this position is definitely a popular one.

If you count carefully, the Hatake clan members of the second generation of Qing and Chu occupy almost most of the high positions in Konoha.

Although the Hatake clan currently only has two or three big cats and kittens, if they want to take advantage of Namikaze Minato, it is definitely a matter of words.

Even if he did that, Namikaze Minato wouldn't even have any room to resist.

This shows how high the Hatake clan currently is in Konoha Village.

Some people may say that since the Hatake clan is so powerful now, they are not afraid of Namikaze Minato being displeased with them?

To be honest, Namikaze Minato really doesn't know how to do it.

Even if the above situation occurs, even if Namikaze Minato uses the whole village to suppress the Hatake clan, it will only end in a complete defeat.

The Hatake clan is now like the Senju clan in the past, controlling the future of Konoha.

If nothing else, the fifth and sixth generation Hokage should both come from the Hatake clan.

With such a prosperous Hatake clan, and the former clan leader Sakumo Hatake personally visiting, there is no reason why the Yuhi clan should not take it seriously.

But after all, the adults of the two tribes were sitting together to discuss the appropriateness of the engagement, and there was still some distance to go before Hatake Akira and Yuhi Kurenai held the engagement banquet.

Without the reason to make a big deal, the noise naturally became much smaller, at least it did not spread to the point where the whole Konoha knew about it.

However, the engagement between Akira Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi still had a considerable impact, but this impact was mainly reflected among the various ninja clans in Konoha.

Upon learning that Akira Hatake was getting engaged to Kurenai Yuhi, the heads of the various ninja clans in Konoha beat their chests and looked down upon girls of similar age to Akira Hatake in their respective families.

Why can't Yuhi Kurenai take down Akira Hatake, but you can't?

The attitude of the clan leaders made the girls of each ninja clan itch with hatred.

They can't post it backwards, right? !

In fact, if Hatake Akira is willing, the heads of the ninja clans will definitely be willing to let their own clan members take over. After all, who doesn't covet Hatake Akira's blood?

But even if they are greedy, there is no point now. They can only wait for Hatake Akira and Yuhi Kurenai's engagement banquet to build a relationship with heavy gifts.

In short, Hatake Sakumo's visit to the Yuhi clan is the biggest news recently.

The ninjas who heard the news talked about it for several days.

There was no question about the age of Akira Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi, and no one felt that the two had violated the three precepts of ninjas.

In short, apart from blessings and some complaints such as "Why is it Yuhi Hong and not me?", there is no third voice.

With Akira Hatake's reputation in Konoha, no one would be dissatisfied with him.

Of course, except for the Sarutobi clan.

Sarutobi Asuma, he broke the drinking habit among the three ninja precepts, smoked and drank, and spent the whole night alone.

Early the next morning, Sarutobi Asuma left Konoha and didn't know where he went.

In short, after Asuma Sarutobi left Konoha, the Sarutobi clan completely lost its backbone, and its current momentum has plummeted.

In fact, when Hiruzen Sarutobi led most of the Sarutobi clan to launch a rebellion, it had already marked the official withdrawal of the Sarutobi clan from the center of Konoha's power.

This is bound to happen. No matter who handles the rebellion of Sarutobi Hiruzen, they will not choose to forgive.

Those who choose to forgive will probably not reach a high-level position in Konoha, let alone become the talkative person in the village.

All in all, Sarutobi Asuma left the day after Hatake Akira and Yuhi Kurenai announced their engagement.

The specific reason may be because of Kurenai Yuhi, or it may be because of his old father Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But it's okay to leave. After Asuma Sarutobi left, it gave the Sarutobi clan a chance to breathe.

Neither Hatake Akira nor Namikaze Minato chose to exterminate the Sarutobi clan, but left them a more honorable retreat.

There is nothing to say about the Sarutobi clan members who participated in the rebellion. Those who did not die on the spot will be imprisoned and interrogated to squeeze out the last bit of value from them.

If the powerful ninjas of the Sarutobi clan survive the interrogation and have value for reuse, they will be thrown into the ANBU.

If you perform well and survive dangerous missions one after another, your merits will be outweighed in the end, and your life after retirement will not be too sad.

This is the best path for the ninjas participating in the rebellion, but whether they can reach the end depends on their strength and luck.

Of course, it also depends on the moods of Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze.

As for the ninjas from the Sarutobi clan who did not participate in the rebellion, it would be easier to deal with.

Those who have positions will be dismissed and sent home. If there are no positions, they will remain as they are. In addition to managing the Sarutobi clan's family business, the only way to maintain their livelihood is to take on ninja tasks in the village.

Overall it was miserable, but it was much gentler than when Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo dealt with the Uchiha clan.

However, Hatake Akira also put a yoke on the Sarutobi clan. No member of the Sarutobi clan was allowed to enter the upper echelons of Konoha for three generations.

This shackle is still not harsh, but it also makes the Sarutobi clan uncomfortable.

But compared to being exterminated, this ending is really, really good...

But after Sarutobi Asuma left, the remaining ninjas of the Sarutobi clan who did not participate in the rebellion would inevitably have their thoughts.

This is human nature.

When you are in prosperity, you are the backbone of the family, the talented person who leads the family to take off!

But if you are in decline and lead your family to reverse history, then I'm sorry, no matter how many achievements you have made in the past, you will be wiped out, or even nailed to the pillar of shame.

This was the case with Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was hated by the only remaining members of the Sarutobi clan.

Once Sarutobi Asuma left, everything left over from Sarutobi Hiruzen's lineage became theirs.

How to deal with that?

No need to ask, the natural choice was to hand it over to the Konoha Ninjutsu Library.

When Hatake Akira saw the new leader of the Sarutobi clan coming to him with a thick pile of ninjutsu information, he felt a little outrageous.

The Sarutobi clan's ninjutsu background is really outrageous. How many people's wealth has been stolen from them? !

But the most unexpected thing was the fact that Sarutobi Asuma left Konoha.

"How can you be so small-minded..."

After muttering, Hatake Akira turned to Nara Shikaku, "Shikaku, keep Asuma's identity and give him a certificate of leaving the village."

"Whenever Asuma wants to return to Konoha, just ask him to sign when he comes back, and also notify the guards at the entrance of the village so that they don't stop him."

"Okay Akira, shall we deal with Sarutobi Asuma according to Jiraiya-sama's situation?"

"Well, although there are differences, it is always right to follow Jiraiya-sama's template when dealing with Sarutobi Asuma."

Hatake Akira looked out the window, his eyes swept across the gate of Konoha, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes, "Asuma didn't make any mistakes, he was just implicated..."

"Ming, you are really... In short, the Yondaime Hokage did not misjudge the person."

Nara Shikaku was in awe of Hatake Akira. Few people could have such a generous attitude from Hatake Akira.

Hatake Akira curled his lips and did not explain to Nara Shikaku.

He had robbed Sarutobi Asuma of too many things, and Hatake Akira was still happy to give him a little compensation within his ability.

"By the way, Shikaku, is there any news about Jiraiya-sama?"

Turning his head, Hatake Akira looked at Nara Shikaku, "If you didn't mention it, I would have really forgotten my master..."

"Ahem."

Nara Shikaku coughed twice and did not express any opinions to Jiraiya without permission.

Walking to the desk, Nara Shikaku took out an encrypted document.

"This is the information that Lord Jiraiya recently sent back. Although the information in it is not very important, it is somewhat valuable."

Reaching out to take the information handed over by Nara Shikaku, Hatake Akira lowered his head and read it carefully.

"Shell?!"

"What do you understand? Is this organization special?"

Nara Shikaku looked at Hatake Akira's surprised expression and asked subconsciously.

He had also read the information sent back by Jiraiya. The shell organization described in it was not powerful, and was much weaker than the Akatsuki organization at its peak.

The only person Nara Shikaku felt threatened was the leader of the Shell Organization.

However, Jiraiya did not fight against the leader of the Shell organization, so in the intelligence, Jiraiya did not describe it in detail.

"It's very special."

Hatake Akira's expression returned to normal, "Shikaku, contact Lord Jiraiya for me and tell him that I have something urgent and want him to return to the village as soon as possible."

"good."

Nara Shikaku didn't ask any more questions. In fact, he could guess without asking that Hatake Akira was definitely for the shell organization in Jiraiya's intelligence.

But Nara Shikaku was even more curious. There were only two or three big cats and kittens in the shell organization, and the area they were in was also on the edge of the ninja world, so it didn't seem to have any impact on Konoha.

Why……

Seeing the confusion in Nara Shikaku's eyes, Hatake Ming smiled and shook his head, "Shikaku, the Shell Organization is very dangerous, even more dangerous than the Akatsuki Organization at its peak."

"Until the master returns to the village, don't act rashly, let alone send our intelligence ninjas to investigate any information about the Shell organization."

Speaking of this, Hatake Akira suddenly became very serious. He was very worried that the shell tissue that suddenly appeared would cause unnecessary harm to Konoha ninjas.

The reason why Hatake stepped up his efforts to recall Jiraiya was for the sake of Jiraiya's personal safety.

There is no doubt that Jiraiya is very powerful.

If in the original timeline, Jiraiya had known all the information about Pain's Six Paths, his battle at that time would not have been so difficult.

And if Jiraiya hadn't wanted to obtain more information about the Akatsuki organization, he would have a high chance of escaping.

After all, Nagato and Konan at that time wanted to let Jiraiya go, but Jiraiya didn't know what to do... or maybe he just wanted to die...

In short, Hatake Akira doesn't want this tragedy to happen again.

Ji Xian of the Shell Organization is not Nagato and Konan.

As long as Jiraiya investigates the shell organization in depth, he will definitely never come back when facing Ci Xian.

"Is Shell really so dangerous?"

Seeing Hatake Akira being so serious, Nara Shikaku became more curious, "I haven't seen you so serious in a long time..."

"You'll understand later."

Hatake Akira did not tell Nara Shikakuta, but handed the information over again, "Mark it with the words top secret, strictly guard it, and never allow a single word to be leaked."

"I understand, nothing will go wrong."

Seeing that Hatake Akira didn't want to say more, Nara Shikaku naturally didn't ask further questions, but solemnly assured Hatake Akira.

"Shikaku, I'm going out for a while, and the village is counting on you."

"You want to go out too?!"

Nara Shikaku's eyes widened. There were too many changes happening one after another today, which made him unable to react.

"Yeah, so please!"

Hatake Akira solemnly bowed to Nara Shikaku, and then disappeared into the Hokage's office.

"What is this!"

After Hatake Akira left, Nara Shikaku sighed, "The Yondaime-sama has left, Akira has also left... It's my turn to handle the many heavy government affairs of the village again?"

"Who is the Hokage?"

Hatake Ming couldn't hear Nara Shikaku's complaints. He had long used his space ability to come to the border town of the Land of Fire.

Short book street.

The reason why this border town is named after the street is because the town's short book street is so famous.

Tanshu Street, which integrates casinos, Fenggetsu Street, hot springs, izakayas, and gourmet food, ranks at the forefront of the entire Fire Country and even the entire ninja world in terms of prosperity.

However, Hatake Akira did not come here to experience life, but came here to find Tsunade.

Sure enough, Hatake Akira appeared in a corner of Tanshu Street, and he heard the cheers in the casino from a distance.

"I hit it, I hit it!"

"I have been waiting for this day for too long. It depends on whether I can turn over this time!"

"Big fat sheep, you have to work harder!"

"Damn it, I'm very lucky today, just wait and lose!"

In the largest casino in Tanshu Street, Tsunade spoke harshly with a domineering look.

Of course, there are also more domineering ones. Tsunade's ninja weapon is naturally not a cover!

However, everyone's attention was not on Tsunade's murder weapon, but on the gaming table.

"Buy big!"

Tsunade waved her hand domineeringly, and Shizune beside her could only take out a wad of banknotes from the cash box with a confused look on her face and put it on the gaming table.

"Buy small!"

"Let's keep it small!"

"Buy a small, stud!"

When Shizune placed a stack of banknotes on the gambling table, the gamblers around him had a unanimous opinion and they all pressed against it!

"I'm big."

A banknote was placed on the gaming table, along with a gentle voice.
