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

However, this is all they can do for now; they still have a long way to go if they want to take things further.

"Haha, hahaha... there's not much left, just a little bit..."

With just one sentence from Akira Hatake, Obito Uchiha's earlier blush and bulging neck vanished completely, replaced by the shyness unique to boys of this age.

Nohara Rin's gaze towards Hatake Akira dimmed further, and her smile became somewhat forced.

"During the time you and Kakashi were away from the Ninja Academy, I was quite at a loss thanks to Obito, otherwise I would have been completely lost."

"That's good. Obito is not bad." Hatake Akira made a pointed remark, but only hinted at it. "It's been a long time. How about we go to the seafood restaurant that Red and I often go to? Their wasabi octopus is very authentic."

Hearing Akira's suggestion, Kurenai smiled sweetly and couldn't help but tighten her grip on Akira's left arm.

However, since Kurenai Yuhi is still a flat board, it has lost some of its charm.

However, even without Obito Uchiha's interference, Kakashi still managed to cause some trouble for Akira Hatake.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, as the five walked forward, Kakashi always squeezed between Akira Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi, and after a few attempts, Kurenai Yuhi backed down.

After all, he's her future brother-in-law, so Kurenai Yuhi has to give him that much face.

But Akira Hatake couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Kakashi, something's definitely not right..."

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, who were walking side by side, were also secretly making some small moves, but it was always Obito Uchiha who took the initiative.

Looking intently at the backs of the three people chatting and laughing in front of her, Nohara Rin closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

Looking back after letting go, I realized that the truly worthy person was right beside me in the shadows...

Two little hands quietly hooked together.

Obito Uchiha wished that this moment could last forever, forever, forever!

However, the intertwined fates of the five individuals remain shrouded in mystery in the upcoming third battle.

No one can predict the future.

Chapter 71 What kind of girl do you like?

"cheers!"

"A toast to friendship!"

Amidst laughter and chatter, glasses clinked together, causing ripples in the juice inside. Some of the juice playfully spilled out, splashing into the air before dripping onto the wooden table.

The gathering went very well. Even though Obito Uchiha and Kakashi didn't get along, they didn't have any unpleasantness at the dinner table; at most, they just ignored each other.

Akira Hatake played a rather subtle role at this gathering, taking charge of controlling the proceedings, leading the conversation, and enlivening the atmosphere.

This further solidified Akira Hatake's position among the five, making him the undisputed leader of their "little gang."

But all good things must come to an end, and joyful gatherings must eventually come to a close.

At the entrance of the seafood restaurant, Akira Hatake waved goodbye to Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara.

"Obito, Rin, let's have a meal together again sometime."

"Yes, but I can't afford to hire someone for this place," Obito Uchiha said bluntly, getting straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Since it was Akira Hatake who suggested this dinner, and he was one of only two people among the five who could earn commissions independently, he naturally chose to treat everyone.

"Anywhere is fine, and I'd love a picnic if all else fails." Akira Hatake smiled, his expression quite sincere. "As long as the heart is there, nothing else really matters."

"Haha, then goodbye everyone!"

Obito Uchiha naturally took Rin Nohara's hand and pulled her into the crowd, and she naturally did not resist much.

Seeing this, Akira Hatake felt happy for the two of them, and then turned to look at Kurenai Yuhi.

"Hong, I'll take you home."

"Okay!" Kurenai smiled sweetly, holding onto Akira Hatake's arms tightly.

"By the way, Kakashi, don't follow us, go home first."

After taking only two steps, Akira Hatake sensed Kakashi still following behind. To prevent him from causing any more trouble, he had no choice but to strike first.

"Oh."

Kakashi nodded, his micro-expression slightly displeased. He glanced at Kurenai with his deadpan eyes, then turned and left without a second thought.

"Let's go, Kurenai. Kakashi won't bother us this time."

Akira Hatake looked down at Kurenai Yuhi, who was only up to his shoulder, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her soft lips.

"ah!"

Unlike the warm, smooth touch between Akira and Hatake, Kurenai felt a tingling sensation on her lips, causing her to let out a soft gasp. Her cheeks flushed crimson, almost dripping with moisture.

This was a further intimate gesture between the two, and their senses were absolutely heightened to the extreme at the beginning.

When feelings between men and women intensify, such intimate gestures are absolutely essential, and Akira Hatake naturally understands this principle.

"I just noticed you had a little wasabi on your lips..."

Girls are easily embarrassed, so Akira Hatake naturally had to give Kurenai Yuhi a way out, otherwise their conversation on the way home would be practically nonexistent.

This is something Akira Hatake doesn't want to see. Who knows if he'll have such free time again after today?

"It's okay... I don't mind..."

Kurenai's voice was almost imperceptible, but Akira Hatake, with his sharp ears and eyes, naturally heard it clearly.

At the same time, I couldn't help but marvel at how precocious the girls in the Naruto world were in this respect.

But that's all; even the most precocious boys and girls won't taste forbidden fruit before adulthood.

Akira Hatake doesn't know if this applies to ordinary people, but as far as ninjas are concerned, the three prohibitions on ninjas are very effective. Since their inception, very few ninjas have violated them.

However, not violating the rules doesn't mean you can't skirt the rules. For example, Jiraiya, who had a habit of peeping into women's bathhouses since he was a child, knew exactly how to exploit loopholes...

Akira Hatake isn't quite as lecherous as Jiraiya, but he wouldn't have any problems touching his own little cabbage.

"That's good." Akira Hatake nodded, then looked a little disappointed. "It would have been better if it were a little bigger..."

“Akira, we can go for a walk in the park. There are fewer people there at this time of year…” Kurenai Yuhi started to say, but then realized it was inappropriate and tried to cover it up by saying, “I mean the park has a nice view and no one will bother us.”

“Of course I know that.” Akira Hatake looked up at the gray night sky. “It’s just not a good day. The weather isn’t very good, so it’s not a good time to look at the stars.”

"Ah...right, right, how about we do it another day?"

"I'm sorry, Hong, I probably won't have time for a long time to come."

"How could that be? You used to... have so much free time." Kurenai Yuhi originally wanted to say that Akira Hatake was lazy, but in the end she didn't say it.

Even though she didn't say it, Kurenai still felt that Akira Hatake was just brushing her off, and her mood immediately dropped a little.

"Do you think I..."

"What are you thinking about?" Akira Hatake reached out and tapped Kurenai Yuhi's forehead. "I'm going to be promoted to Chunin in a few days, and there are a lot of things I need to prepare."

"I see... then I misunderstood you." Kurenai didn't doubt her. "Then today, we can slow down a bit..."

"Of course, it's not advisable to walk too fast after eating and drinking your fill."

Akira Hatake smiled and echoed Kurenai Yuhi's words.

Moreover, what he just said didn't mean to deceive Kurenai Yuhi. Akira Hatake really did intend to be promoted to Chunin so that he wouldn't have to perform Genin missions in the village every day.

Although we occasionally accept some C-rank or higher missions outside the village, the proportion is extremely low.

However, things changed after he was promoted to Chunin. The missions he received were mostly C-rank or higher missions outside the village, which greatly helped Hatake Akira to gain skill experience and gold.

"By the way, Ming, I've always wanted to ask but never got around to it... what kind of girl do you like?"

After walking slowly forward for a while, Kurenai Yuhi spoke softly again, intending to test Akira Hatake once more.

"A girl like you."

This little trick was far too childish to deal with Akira Hatake, who had experience with relationships in his previous life. Without even thinking, he launched a decisive counterattack.

"Ah! This..."

Caught off guard, Kurenai Yuhi was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a brief mental blank, pink heart-shaped objects slowly filled her mind, even reflecting in Kurenai Yuhi's eyes.

Is this considered a confession?

Yes, absolutely!

Giving herself a pep talk, Kurenai looked up at Akira Hatake and said, "Akira, I like boys like you too..."

“I knew it all along.” Akira Hatake looked at Kurenai Yuhi with a gentle smile. “You may not know, but your eyes can speak.”

Finished!

Kurenai Yuhi inwardly groaned; she couldn't handle this level of teasing!

How to do?

I'm about to faint!

Just as Kurenai blinked, looking helpless, a soft cough came from not far behind them.

Akira Hatake shuddered as if electrocuted, and with the fastest speed he had ever made, he broke free from Kurenai Yuhi's hands, then adopted the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman.

"Uncle Zhenhong."

Akira Hatake turned around with a smile and greeted him, his smile very formal.

The bitterness hidden in her smile was so palpable that even the air itself seemed to pierce through it, and when she encountered Shinku Yuhi, the air between them suddenly froze.

Chapter 72 The Cunning Kakashi.

There was only one cabbage in their own vegetable garden.

The fence was layered upon layered, in the hope of keeping out the lurking wild boars outside for as long as possible.

Unfortunately, the cabbage became a spirit, not only opening a gap in the fence but also actively leading the wild boar into the vegetable garden.

Yuhi Makoto was furious about how her own little cabbage was being cooked, but compared to Hatake Akira, she disapproved of it even more.

You can give a young girl a chance, but you can't force her!
