Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Although Akira Hatake has the advantage of foresight and has more than twenty years of life experience than his peers, he is not sensitive enough to the ninja mission in the world of Naruto.

To put it bluntly, Hatake Akira has never killed anyone in his two lives, let alone performed a ninja mission. He doesn't know many of the techniques very well.

But even if Hatake Akira couldn't figure it out for a moment, Kakashi, who had already noticed the abnormality, would not hide it from him.

In the early morning of the next day, Class 8 continued on their way after completing their corrections. They were in a very energetic state and were considered to be at their personal peak.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

Kakashi, who was hanging at the back of the team, followed Akira Hatake and walked side by side with him, with a rare seriousness and coldness on his face.

This was an attitude that Kakashi had never shown when talking to Akira Hatake before.

"What's wrong?" Hatake Akira suddenly thought, Kakashi's attitude was too abnormal.

"This mission is most likely man-made." Kakashi said concisely, "A 15-person ninja squadron, 3 intelligence personnel who need to be protected, plus the four of our eighth squad, this team is responsible for delivering intelligence. , don’t you think the goal is too big?”

"Indeed!" Akira Hatake's mind has always been very active, especially in the world of Naruto, Akira Hatake has raised his desire for survival and vigilance to the highest level.

If you are not careful, you will die. It will happen to anyone.

"Transmitting information needs to be done secretly. There are only two possibilities for delivering information with such a big fanfare." Akira Hatake figured out the key. "One is that we become a bait, attracting firepower for the real intelligence personnel; the second is that someone They want to use the name of the mission to ambush us."

"My brother's guess is not different from what I think, but I prefer the second one." Kakashi glanced at Akira Hatake with some worry, and then focused his attention on Namikaze Minato who was leading the way.

"Someone wants to take action against Namikaze Minato-sensei..." Kakashi made his own judgment, "Although with Minato-sensei's strength, there is no possibility of mission failure when encountering most ninjas, but there are three more of us. Drag the oil bottle..."

Kakashi still had something to say, but why couldn't Akira Hatake hear the subtext?

If the situation is true as the two brothers judged, then Minato Namikaze's situation is almost exactly the same as that of Hatake Sakumo in the original work.

To complete the mission, give up on your disciples; to give up on the mission is to ruin your own bright future.

And with Namikaze Minato's character, he would most likely choose the latter.

However, Hatake Akira didn't pay much attention to this, but smiled indifferently. He was very confident in his preparations, and the person behind the arrangement of this farce was too underestimated!

"Kakashi, believe in Minato-sensei, and please believe in my ability." Akira Hatake encouraged Kakashi, "Think about your current strength, think about Minato-sensei's strength, and with me assisting you, Let alone a squadron of ninjas, even if a brigade of ninjas comes, we are not afraid at all!"

"I'm not afraid of these!"

Kakashi looked deeply at Hatake Akira, with these indescribable intersections in his eyes, "I'm worried about you, brother!"

"In a battle between ninjas, the first priority is to clear out the medical, sensory, and auxiliary ninjas in each other's teams. Once we are surrounded... you will definitely be their first target."

"But..." Kakashi paused, and then his voice was gentle and steady, "Before I die, my brother will be fine."

"Please give us something to look forward to!" Hatake Akira was moved in his heart, but he was merciless, "Where did the previous arrogance go? Also, don't underestimate me, I also have a trump card, okay?! "

"Even so, if there is any force majeure danger during the mission, my brother must..."

"Escape?" Hatake Akira interrupted Kakashi with a smile, "This is impossible. I will never give my back to the enemy. This is no different from committing suicide, and... I should have the consciousness Not lacking at all!”

Now that he has come to the world of Naruto, Akira Hatake has adjusted his attitude in the past seven years, and his hard work for more than a year has somewhat made up for the sequelae of his previous laziness.

Even though he is not as good as Kakashi, but with the help of Akira Shiyin's hero template, taken together, Hatake Akira is still the best among his peers.

"Ai, Kakashi, concentrate on your journey!"

The timing of Namikaze Minato's reminder was just right, which was in line with his gentle and thoughtful character.

Although the tone was harsh, it still warmed the hearts of Hatake Akira and Kakashi when it reached their ears.

The "everlasting sister" Minato Namikaze is still as reassuring as ever, and his personality charm is the undisputed number one among ninjas of the same period.

…

At the speed of a ninja, without any accidents, it would only take about two days to set off from Konoha Village to the Grass Country on the border.

However, in order to meet the next challenge, Namikaze Minato made a very detailed plan before going on the mission and set up several places for Team 8 to rest, so they did not arrive at the Country of Grass until the evening of the third day. within the territory.

In the Grass Ninja Village, Namikaze Minato has completed the task handover with the Grass Ninja of the First Squadron.

"Then let's set off. Go early and come back early."

"Okay." One of the three protected Kusanagi nodded in agreement, "Next, I'll bother you Minato Namikaze, we will obey all your arrangements."

"In that case, let me tell you about the escort plan I made before..."

The rest of Namikaze Minato's retelling was exactly the same as the content of the plan he had told Hatake Akira and others before, and after finishing it, none of the Kusanagi ninja raised any objections.

Hatake Akira, who was standing on one side and silently observing, lowered his head slightly, hiding the greed and desire in his eyes.

The 15 grass ninjas who serve as flank protectors for the three intelligence officers are all at chunin level, and one has even reached the level of special jounin.

The strength of the three intelligence officers was a bit weak, two of them were genin, and the leading intelligence ninja was a chuunin.

But even so, Hatake Akira very much hopes that all the 15 grass ninja chuunin will rebel. In this case, Hatake Akira's gold coins will be at most 1410 and at least 750.

This shortened the distance between him and purchasing the scheduled equipment.

As he thought about it, Hatake Akira became a little excited. He simply couldn't refuse the temptation brought by the improvement in strength.

"Whether you are the initiator or not, I hope you can arrange more back-ups, otherwise these few people alone won't be enough for me!"

Secretly expecting in his heart, after seeing Namikaze Minato's forward gesture, Hatake Akira put away his thoughts and walked side by side with Kakashi, at the back of the team.

The slightly bloated escort team marched for a while. When the stars in the sky began to work, the surroundings of the team's route were a bit eerily quiet.

Akira Hatake, who was performing this kind of mission for the first time, could already feel the storm coming, and Minato Namikaze, who was leading the mission, was even more keen than Akira Hatake.

Namikaze Minato raised his right arm and made a gesture that only Class 8 could understand.

Within a moment, Akira Hatake and Kakashi, who were at the end of the team, accelerated a distance and approached Namikaze Minato at the front.

"Listen, there is a high probability that there will be an ambush ahead. I will separate seven people from the Kusanagi escort team to be responsible for breaking up with me, while you will take my place and continue the escort mission."

"We got it, Minato-sensei."

In fact, Hatake Akira was a little worried that this was to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but when Namikaze Minato handed Hatake Akira a Flying Thunder God Kunai, Hatake Akira understood everything instantly.

Riding the tiger away from the mountain is indeed a very practical tactic, but for Namikaze Minato, it is just a worry of using the Flying Thunder God Technique a few more times.

However, Hatake Akira didn't want to give up the opportunity to get assists. After thinking about it, he still reluctantly bought the cheapest equipment from the equipment mall: the Alchemy Talisman.

As long as the buff effect exerted by Hatake Akira is there when Namikaze Minato kills the enemy, then Hatake Akira can get an assist.

And in addition to the actual skill assistance, the equipment sold in the equipment mall is also included, which gives Hatake Akira a lot more room for operation.

"Teacher, this is a small prop that can restore chakra, which will be useful for your next battle."

Hatake Akira handed a light blue pendant to Namikaze Minato, and the latter did not refuse. He took it and put it around his neck.

"Be careful."

The look of surprise on Namikaze Minato's face flashed away, and he felt some subtle changes taking place within his body.

But now they were on a mission. Namikaze Minato didn't ask or say much. Instead, after giving instructions to Hatake Akira and Kakashi, he led the seven grass ninjas and suddenly accelerated forward.

The battle is about to break out!
