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

"Hokage-sama."

A short while later, Sakumo Hatake, wearing a Hokage sleeve on his left arm, knocked on the door of the Hokage's office and respectfully bowed to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Shuomao, take a look at this report."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his arm, signaling Sakumo Hatake to stand up, and then handed him the report he had just received.

"Sakumo, you are my chosen successor to the Hokage position. No one in the village can match your achievements and skills. But there is always darkness under the sun, and you still need to be careful about many things."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were an open secret, blatantly telling Sakumo Hatake and Danzo Shimura that they were planning to sabotage him behind his back.

"I understand. I will discipline Ming and Kakashi when I get back."

“I’m glad you understand, but you also need to be careful about other things.” Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his eyelids. “I can still suppress Danzo Shimura now, but I can’t be good at everything. You need to understand that…”

Before Hatake Sakumo could answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, "Go on, I have a lot of things to do here. Remember not to be too harsh on Akira, he's a good kid."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Sakumo Hatake sighed, glanced back at the closed office door, and then used a Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Chapter 6 is not as important as making you saury.

As the sun began to set in the west, the dim light cast long shadows on pedestrians.

"elder brother."

Kakashi Hatake stood at the entrance of the Ninja Academy and quickly went to greet Akira Hatake when he came out.

"Kakashi, have you been waiting long?"

Akira Hatake smiled slightly and reached out to pull Kakashi Hatake into his arms. "Good little brother, I'll make you your favorite saury when we get home."

Food is the only thing Akira Hatake is good at right now. Starting three years ago, because he couldn't stand Sakumo Hatake's terrible cooking skills, Akira Hatake started cooking for himself.

Of course, Kakashi Hatake also has a talent for cooking, but he hasn't awakened it yet because of Akira Hatake.

Kakashi Hatake, who was still struggling, had a slight glimmer of hope when he heard the words "saury," and his struggles immediately became almost nonexistent.

"I want two!" Kakashi Hatake grinned and waved two fingers in front of Akira Hatake's eyes.

"Can your little belly hold it?" Akira Hatake reached out and touched Kakashi's silver hair. "If you're still pregnant, see how I deal with you."

"How could there be any left! I love my brother's cooking the most."

"You only look somewhat cute now; you're definitely a glutton..."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not like that!"

As the two chatted and laughed, they soon reached the corner of the main street of the ninja academy. Just as their figures were about to disappear, a soft voice sounded from behind them.

"Kakashi, Akira!"

At the same time, a boy's voice, tinged with jealousy, also rang out.

"bright!"

Akira Hatake and Kakashi Hatake turned around, and the first thing they saw was a girl with unique purple patterns on her face, who was waving at them with a smile.

It's Nohara Rin.

Behind Nohara Rin, a chuunibyou boy wearing goggles peeked out, glanced disdainfully at Kakashi, and then focused his gaze on Hatake Akira.

It was Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha ignored Kakashi Hatake, who was standing next to Akira Hatake, and quickly walked up to Akira. He scratched his head and smiled shyly.

"Ming, you look incredibly handsome today!"

"By the way, Akira, what technique did you use to defeat Shimura Nobuo today?" Obito Uchiha asked with a gossipy look. "That doesn't seem like a technique you could master... After all, you usually..."

"Obito!"

Rin Nohara tugged at Obito Uchiha's sleeve, her little face showing some displeasure.

Obito Uchiha immediately realized what he had done, his face filled with embarrassment. "Akira, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

"Ah, there's no need to apologize. That's just how it is. I'm not thin-skinned, and besides..." Hatake Akira shook his arm, and Hatake Kakashi in his arms couldn't help but sway along with him. "I have such a genius younger brother, I'm not worried at all!"

"Kakashi... he's just an arrogant guy..."

Obito Uchiha pursed his lips and tilted his head to one side.

Compared to Akira Hatake, Obito Uchiha did not like Kakashi Hatake, partly because of Rin Nohara and partly because of Kakashi Hatake's personality.

Aloof, arrogant, and disdainful of everyone...

This made Obito Uchiha, who had a strong sense of pride, both envious and jealous of Kakashi Hatake, making a confrontation inevitable.

Akira Hatake, whose academic performance was about the same as Obito Uchiha's, was regarded as a close friend by Obito Uchiha, and they had an extremely good relationship on a daily basis.

"Tch, a disgrace to the Uchiha clan."

Kakashi Hatake, of course, wouldn't let himself be insulted, and immediately retorted.

Hearing the two mocking each other, Akira Hatake shrugged, then released his arms, freeing Kakashi Hatake from his embrace.

Sure enough, with no obstacles in place, their usual routine after meeting began: bickering, arguing, sharp-tongued remarks, and sabotaging each other...

Hatake Akira, watching all this with amusement, took a step back to avoid Obito Uchiha's spittle landing on his face.

Nohara Rin shook her head speechlessly, bypassed the two arguing, and came to Hatake Akira's side.

“Akira, I stopped you today because I heard some news…” Nohara Rin said with a worried look, “Shimura Noyu’s clansmen are threatening to teach you a lesson, after all, Shimura Noyu was seriously injured.”

"Thank you, Rin." After thanking her, she became somewhat emboldened. "With Kakashi by my side today, they won't dare to do anything."

"That's true, but what will you do when Kakashi isn't around?"

Nohara Rin is a kind-hearted person and has always had a good relationship with Hatake Akira, so she immediately became a little anxious.

"Don't worry, Rin, those clowns will settle down." Akira Hatake smiled.

Seeing that Akira Hatake didn't take it to heart at all, Rin Nohara didn't say anything more. She nodded and then turned around and squeezed between Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake.

"You two, that's enough!"

Nohara Rin was annoyed by the two arguing, so she raised her voice a little and was somewhat angry.

"Humph!"

"cut!"

Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake both turned their heads away at the same time, as if looking at the other would be an insult.

Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Nohara Rin breathed a sigh of relief, her expression somewhat helpless.

"Obito, Kakashi, can you two please stop arguing the moment you meet?"

“I didn’t argue with him, it’s just that his arrogant attitude annoyed me.” Obito Uchiha glanced at Kakashi Hatake. “If he had half of Akira’s personality, the world would be a better place.”

Kakashi Hatake, who was standing to the side, didn't respond. Instead, he glanced at Akira Hatake and rolled his eyes at Obito Uchiha.

Dead fish eyes are very lethal, especially when paired with Kakashi Hatake's aloof expression and disdain, the lethality is increased several levels.

"What do you mean, you dead-fish-eyed Kakashi!"

Obito Uchiha jumped up and down, making a move to go up and argue with Kakashi Hatake again.

"Alright, Obito, if you talk about my brother like that, we'll team up and beat you up." Akira Hatake stepped forward at this moment, and his words deflated Obito Uchiha.

Kakashi Hatake glanced at Akira Hatake, a smirk creeping up his lips hidden beneath his mask. He also gave Obito Uchiha a subtle look, the meaning of which was clear.

"What... Even brothers shouldn't treat me like this." Obito Uchiha ignored Kakashi Hatake's provocation and then said dejectedly, "Akira, I've protected you a lot back in school."

"Haha, don't worry about such trivial matters." Akira Hatake chuckled. "Kakashi is my brother, and you're my good friend. It's embarrassing for me that you two always argue whenever you meet, okay?"

With Akira Hatake stepping forward, Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake finally calmed down.

Rin Nohara and Akira Hatake stood side by side, with Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake by their sides. The four of them walked slowly forward, chatting and laughing as they faced the setting sun.

"Let's part ways here. I won't get involved in your subsequent training."

At the center of a fork in the road, Akira Hatake stopped. "As you all know, I'm not enthusiastic about training. Going home to cook for Kakashi is far more appealing to me."

"Hmph, I wasn't planning on inviting you anyway." Nohara Rin curled her lip. "You and Kakashi are such opposites. If I hadn't known you for so long, I'd start to wonder if you two are even brothers..."

“That’s right, Kakashi isn’t nearly as likable as Akira.” Obito Uchiha chimed in from the side.

Akira Hatake ignored their conversation and waved his hand dismissively, "Well then, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!"

The four turned and left in perfect unison, walking further and further away in opposite directions. Akira Hatake also reached out and put his hand on Kakashi Hatake's shoulder again.

"Kakashi, if you want to..."

"I don't want to!" Kakashi interrupted Akira. "I don't want to train with Obito. It's not only boring, but it also makes me angry."

“You know Kakashi, that’s not what I meant.” Akira Hatake pointed behind him. “I was talking about Rin Nohara.”

“She…” Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly, “Compared to the saury my brother makes, she doesn’t appeal to me much.”

"Haha, it seems your problem with early romance is solved." Hatake Akira was very satisfied with what Hatake Kakashi had just said, and then patted him hard on the shoulder. "Women are trouble, and they affect your sword-drawing speed. It wouldn't be bad to have a romance when you're invincible."

"And what about you, brother... do you... have different feelings for Nohara Rin?"

Faced with Kakashi's question, Akira patted Kakashi's shoulder reassuringly, his voice carrying a comforting strength.

"Nohara Rin... she's really not as important as making you saury."

Chapter 7 only concealed a small part of the matter.

Kakashi Hatake has never met either of their mothers since he can remember, and their father, Sakumo Hatake, is often away on missions.

From a young age, Akira Hatake took care of most of his daily life.

This is why Akira Hatake, who was born only 5 minutes earlier than him, holds a very high position in Kakashi Hatake's heart, almost on par with Sakumo Hatake.

If Kakashi Hatake's feelings for Sakumo Hatake were respect, then his feelings for Akira Hatake were dependence, perfectly filling the void of maternal love in Kakashi's heart.

In fact, Akira Hatake's initial idea was very simple: to train Kakashi to be his main carry in a "duo queue" (a team composition where he and Kakashi play together).

However, as they spent more time together, Kakashi Hatake's status in his heart continued to rise, and he began to regard him as his real younger brother.

Akira Hatake is not a very adaptable person. After all, he carries the memories of his previous life, and it takes time for him to fully integrate into a new family or a new environment.
