Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

"Ming, how could your teacher blame you? How could you be so irresponsible with your own body!"

"Master Minato, please accept me as your apprentice after my sincere apology."

"The day you completed my test, you became my true disciple!" Minato Namikaze, tears welling in his eyes, swept Akira Hatake up his arms. "Hold on, losing life force is troublesome, but I'm thinking of Lady Tsunade..."

Minato Namikaze, who was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to rush to Konoha Hospital while holding Akira Hatake, suddenly stopped and his body began to tremble unnaturally.

"Akira Hatake!!!"

A shout filled with mixed emotions rang out, and the gentle and refined young man vanished, replaced by Minato Namikaze, whose art style was dark and edgy.

He looked down at Akira Hatake in his arms, his expression extremely unfriendly.

Akira Hatake, with a smirk, twisted his body, trying to escape from Minato Namikaze's embrace, but felt as if the hands gripping his body were two iron clamps.

The third skill that Akira Hatake just used will gradually restore the health he lost when using it after three seconds out of combat. His feigning helplessness...

It can't be hidden at all!

Chapter 39 The First Dinner of Class 8.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Minato Namikaze's slender hand landed repeatedly on Akira Hatake's buttocks, and the dark-themed Minato gradually returned to normal.

However, Akira Hatake is in trouble. Being spanked will become the darkest part of his history that he least wants to talk about in the Naruto world.

Not to mention that Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy were standing behind Minato Namikaze, and the two of them showed no intention of avoiding him. On the contrary, they watched Akira Hatake's execution with great interest.

"Haha, even brother has his day."

Might Guy was too embarrassed to express his opinion, but Kakashi didn't hold back. He chuckled softly and narrowed his eyes into crescents.

Having suffered greatly under Akira Hatake's oppression, he had long wanted to see Akira's miserable state when he was suppressed, and today his wish had finally come true.

"Kakashi! I'm not done with you yet!"

Akira Hatake blushed and, having long since given up struggling, began to violently twist his body, attempting to break free from Minato Namikaze's embrace.

But how could Minato Namikaze let Akira Hatake, that troublemaker, get away with it?

Before Kakashi could speak, Minato Namikaze preemptively struck, increasing the force in his hand.

"Ming! Will you dare to joke about this kind of thing again?!"

"I won't do it again, I won't do it again!" Akira Hatake pleaded repeatedly. "Teacher, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Now you know you were wrong?" Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth. "Do you know how worried we were about you just now?!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Minato Namikaze's descending hand almost left a blur as he slapped Akira Hatake's little bottom repeatedly.

“Minato-sensei, my brother… should know he was wrong.”

In the end, Kakashi couldn't bear it and pleaded for Akira Hatake.

"Yes, Minato-sensei, that's just how Akira is. This lesson should have been enough for him."

Might Guy also chimed in, pleading for Akira Hatake just like Kakashi.

Having vented his pent-up anger, Minato Namikaze finally stopped, snorted coldly, and placed Akira Hatake on the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! I've never been so humiliated in my life!" Akira Hatake cried out as he lay on the ground, but then he changed his tone, "It's alright if it's just my teacher disciplining me. After all, a teacher and student are like father and son, it's only right."

"Is the relationship between master and disciple like that of father and son?"

Minato Namikaze repeated it to himself, a warm, sunny smile returning to his face. He was quite pleased with what Akira Hatake had just said.

"Ming, this kind of thing must never happen again!"

Although she was no longer angry and was overjoyed by Akira Hatake's words, she still had to give him the necessary instructions.

“I will take this as a lesson, teacher.”

Akira Hatake nimbly got up from the ground and solemnly assured Minato Namikaze.

"Alright, everyone gather."

After punishing Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze shouted, and the members of Team 8 quickly lined up.

“Since the time for accepting genin missions has passed, we won’t be carrying out any missions today.” Minato Namikaze clapped his hands. “However, starting tomorrow, our Team 8 will get back on track. The daily assembly time will be set for 8:00 AM. I don’t want any of you to be late.”

"Also, after we assemble at eight o'clock, I will lead you to complete the genin mission, and after we finish, I will supervise and guide your training. I will not hold back any questions about your training."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Class 8 will continue in this mode until you graduate from my class. Does everyone understand?!"

"understand!"

The three, led by Akira Hatake, shouted in unison, while Minato Namikaze nodded gently.

"Then, dismissed!"

After the order to disband was given, the three of them lost their previous seriousness. Hatake Akira, who had just calmed down, shamelessly approached Namikaze Minato again.

"Teacher, what are your thoughts after the class is dismissed?"

"Thoughts?" Minato Namikaze asked, somewhat puzzled. "You can go home now. I need to report the situation of Team 8 to the Third Hokage."

"I mean, after you report to the Hokage, what are your plans for the evening, teacher?"

“There are no special arrangements,” Minato Namikaze replied truthfully.

"Teacher, how about we have a get-together?" Akira Hatake's eyes lit up. "Our Class 8 is starting today, so we need to have a proper ceremony!"

"A get-together?" Minato Namikaze subconsciously gripped his wallet. "It's not entirely out of the question..."

"A half-grown boy can eat his father to death." Hatake Akira and his two companions are at the age where they are growing and their appetites are definitely not small. However, a gathering cannot be too shabby, so Namikaze Minato is bound to suffer a major hemorrhage.

"By the way, Ming, since you brought this up, do you have any good ideas?"

"We can invite Master's wife and have a picnic!" Hatake Akira said excitedly. "I have some experience with grilling meat, and there are plenty of wild game in the forest, which we can hunt for ingredients."

"I see..." Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. "This isn't a big problem. You guys go and make the preparations. I'll go see the Third Hokage first."

"it is good!"

Akira Hatake nodded and watched as Minato Namikaze disappeared using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Kakashi?!"

“Brother…” Kakashi forced himself to step forward, “I didn’t mean to mock you before, it’s just what you did…”

"You brat, is that what you meant?!"

Akira Hatake found it both amusing and exasperating; Kakashi really did treat him like a vengeful older brother.

"I'm giving you and Kai a task." Hatake Akira pointed to the forest surrounding the training ground. "Go and hunt some game. I'm going to show off my cooking skills tonight!"

……

As night fell, a bonfire was lit at Training Ground No. 16.

Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, and Might Guy sat around the campfire, their laughter carrying far and wide.

Not far from the campfire, Akira Hatake was busy at the barbecue grill, where the meat skewers were already seven or eight parts cooked.

Soon, Akira Hatake came over with a large plate of grilled meat on it and tactfully placed it in front of Kushina Uzumaki.

"Master's wife, thank you for your hospitality last time. Please try my cooking this time."

"Akira, how about I do it?!" Kushina Uzumaki's appetite was whetted, but her expression of wanting to show off her cooking skills was genuine.

Minato Namikaze, sitting next to her, looked flustered, while Akira Hatake also looked embarrassed.

"No need, Master's wife. Next time we come to bother you, you'll be busy. But today, please sit back and enjoy your meal!"

"Alright, it's rare to see someone so filial. Next time, I'll show you my cooking skills." Kushina Uzumaki smiled happily, looking around and boasting, "Your Minato-sensei always praises my cooking skills. When I went to Minato-sensei's house as a guest the other day, I almost swallowed my tongue!"

"Um... cough cough, what my master's wife said is right. Her cooking skills are impeccable. She can be considered a top chef whose talent was wasted on being a ninja."

Akira Hatake chimed in, making Kushina Uzumaki very happy, while Kakashi and Might Guy also showed expressions of longing.

Looking at the expressions on their faces, Akira Hatake chuckled inwardly. Kushina Uzumaki's terrible cooking had to be shared equally, otherwise wouldn't he be at a loss?

After setting up pits for Kakashi and Might Guy, Akira Hatake brought over the remaining roasted meat, distributed it, and then sat down by the campfire.

"Ming, what are your dreams?"

A dinner party is an occasion for eating, drinking, and talking freely. Minato Namikaze, holding a piece of grilled meat, asked a question.

With Minato Namikaze starting things off, the rest is easy; Akira Hatake can only feign ignorance.

Chapter 40 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Worries

Dreams that can be spoken are probably not real dreams, and diaries that can be written are probably not serious diaries.

However, in the Naruto world, such a simple question has become an important reference for judging a person.

This is not to say that the people in the Naruto world are naive, but rather that they have an almost obstinate persistence when it comes to the serious issue of ideals and dreams.

For example, Danzo Shimura, this old schemer, never concealed his ambition or dreams, and even used them to win over many loyal followers.

The same applies to Orochimaru.

If these two knew how to conceal their ambitions and dreams, the future of Konoha would likely become even more unpredictable.

This should be the pride unique to ninjas, who disdain to lie about their dreams and their ninja way.

Akira Hatake's dream isn't exactly unorthodox, and there's nothing wrong with saying it out loud, but it still needs a little embellishment.

"My dream is very simple... to protect the people I want to protect, do what I should do, and fulfill the dreams that the elders of Konoha failed to achieve."

Akira Hatake's words were very versatile, as if he said everything, but it was almost the same as saying nothing at all.

"So who do you want to protect, what do you want to do, and which of Konoha's predecessors' dreams do you want to fulfill?"

However, Minato Namikaze wasn't going to let Akira Hatake off his hook and pressed for more details.

"Protect the entire Hidden Leaf Village, do what is in accordance with your conscience, and fulfill the First Hokage's dream of bringing peace to the ninja world."

Akira Hatake wasn't that noble, but that didn't stop him from making grand promises. Moreover, Akira Hatake vaguely sensed that there was a prying eye on him from behind.

Akira Hatake knew without a second thought who the owner of that gaze was—it was none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Akira Hatake hadn't forgotten that Hiruzen Sarutobi had a very special spying ninjutsu: the Telescope Technique.
