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

Suddenly, Jiraiya was a little disoriented.

But after taking a deep look at Akira Hatake, Jiraiya was certain that Akira Hatake was the most crucial link in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy!

A toad led the two people away from the cave of the Great Toad Immortal. When they arrived outside the cave, Immortal Shijian finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer looking as if he hadn't dared to breathe loudly.

“Little Jiraiya, actually, before you and Akira Hatake came, the Great Toad Sage had already woken up once.”

The hermit Shima told the truth: "The great hermit told me and Fukasaku that the person you brought back this time will be the most special contractor of Mount Myōboku. However, I did not expect that the great hermit's specialness would be in this way."

The meaning behind Shima's words was quite clear: he agreed to Akira Hatake's contract with the Toad Clan of Mount Myōboku, all thanks to the Toad Master. However, Shima was definitely not happy about it.

The reason why the three holy lands are the three holy lands of summoning beasts is that their strength, inheritance and ability are in a class of their own among summoning beasts.

As one of the best among the summoned beasts, arrogance and confidence are indispensable; the idea of ​​"competing for favor" is completely foreign to the three holy lands.

Therefore, even if Shima Sage had to force Hatake Akira to contract with the toad clan of Mount Myōboku as a summoning beast because of the Great Toad Sage's words, that was all.

While they wanted them to fully commit to fighting alongside Akira Hatake, it was impossible to do so in a short period of time.

But that's not what Akira Hatake cares about. Summoning beasts and the Three Great Holy Lands are only useful in the early and middle stages of the Naruto world. In the later stages, the Sage Techniques inherited from the Three Great Holy Lands are the truly useful ones.

Akira Hatake's true purpose was to learn Sage Mode in order to later confront the Six Paths level, the pinnacle of power in the Naruto world.

But after much thought, Akira Hatake felt that relying solely on the sage techniques passed down from Mount Myōboku or the other two holy lands might be somewhat insufficient to deal with Six Paths level cultivators.

So he suddenly had a brilliant idea: to learn all the immortal techniques passed down from the three holy lands and see if he could create something new by combining them.

However, achieving this is extremely difficult. Just figuring out how to resolve the complex entanglements between the three holy lands is enough to give Akira Hatake a headache.

But this trip to Mount Myōboku was undoubtedly a good start, allowing Akira Hatake to conquer two sacred sites in a short period of time.

However, a new problem has arisen: Ryūchi-dong... is definitely the toughest nut to crack.

To put it bluntly, the most crucial reason why it was so difficult to deal with the Dragon Cave Holy Land was the timing of the contracts with the three holy lands.

Ryuchi-dong: You, Hatake Akira, only considered making a contract with my Ryuchi-dong Orochi clan at the very end. Do you look down on us, or do you look down on us?!

Just as people need to compete for priority, spirit beasts naturally need to do the same, especially the great serpent clan of Ryuchi Cave, whose temperaments are the most eccentric and difficult to get along with.

"What? You don't want to form a contract with our Mount Myōboku?"

Seeing the occasional frown on Akira Hatake's face, Shima Senjin looked displeased. Already still angry, she spoke in a rather harsh tone.

"Master Shima has misunderstood. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just thinking about the prophecy that Master Toad just mentioned."

As he spoke, Akira Hatake raised his hand and shot out a purplish-red chakra chain, which wrapped around Jiraiya's waist. "Sage Shima, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I am the person 'holding the chain' in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, but I still don't quite understand..."

"I don't understand what the Great Toad Immortal meant by 'the reforging of the glory of the three holy lands.' Does it have anything to do with me? If it does, what should I do?"

Akira Hatake's words were actually malicious. After all, people are emotional creatures. Although he couldn't show it on the surface, he still had some resentment because Shima Sage disliked him so much.

With those two sentences, Akira Hatake was essentially using the Great Toad Sage to pressure Shima Sage, while also sending a signal that he, Akira Hatake, was absolutely key to making the three holy lands great again.

so……

Please treat Laozi better from Miaomushan!

Even if Lao Tzu made contracts with both Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myōboku at the same time, there was a reason for it, and it was all for your own good!

Don't be so ungrateful and always have such a haughty attitude!

"This..." Shima Senjin's attitude softened somewhat, and she exchanged glances with Fukasaku Senjin beside her, who gave an almost imperceptible nod.

"Alright, Akira Hatake, we don't know what the Great Toad Sage's prophecy really meant, but since you have already obtained the Great Toad Sage's approval to form a contract with our Myoboku clan, you will also enjoy all the rights of those who form contracts with Myoboku."

"Thank you, Master Shima."

Akimichi Hatake thanked Shima for his temporary concession and then urged Jiraiya to remove the summoning contract scroll from his back.

By pricking his fingertip with a specially made brush and using his own blood to leave his name on the summoning contract scroll, Akira Hatake's journey came to a perfect end.

Chapter 100: The Last Dinner of Class 8.

The story behind Hatake Akira's contract with the toad clan of Mount Myōboku is as follows.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to know about this thanks to Jiraiya.

Because Jiraiya had relayed the prophecy he received from the Great Toad Sage to Hiruzen Sarutobi verbatim, this time was no exception.

At first, Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised, but later he gradually became complacent, because he attributed the credit for Akira Hatake's ideological education to himself.

To be honest, sometimes no matter how much you swear, give examples, or pledge your allegiance, you still can't convince someone of your sincerity.

But the so-called "facts" they found themselves made them believe them without any reason.

This is a vicious cycle, but it also illustrates human arrogance, and the more meticulous and powerful a person is, the more arrogant they tend to be.

They only believe what they see, or the truth they uncover through their own efforts.

This is the real reason why a genius like Uchiha Madara could be manipulated by Black Zetsu.

It's not wrong to have too much faith in your own judgment, but there's always an element of surprise.

Therefore, listening to other people's opinions can sometimes be beneficial.

……

As Hiruzen Sarutobi finished his conversation with Minato Namikaze, two months passed in an orderly fashion.

With Ebisu, Genma Shiranui, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Shizune, and others graduating from the Ninja Academy, it was announced that Konoha's 45th year was about to pass.

This also signifies the official disbandment of Class 8.

Konoha's 18th Training Ground, which had practically become Team 8's exclusive training ground, was where Team 8 gathered for the last time.

"Class 8!"

"exist!"

"Today's task is to set up a barbecue grill with the teacher, hunt wild game, buy fruit, tents, juice, and sake. We won't go home until late tonight!"

"Great!"

Class 8, who were already mentally prepared, had adjusted their mindset over the past two months.

Although the last gathering before disbanding inevitably touched the softest spot in the hearts of everyone in Team 8, just as Minato Namikaze said, separating meant that they could stand on their own and that they had a brighter future.

Therefore, this is also a happy thing.

Moreover, memories shouldn't only consist of tears; laughter and joy are equally indispensable.

Why don't you two go shopping?

Minato Namikaze watched the two Hatake brothers working together to set up the barbecue grill and couldn't help but walk over and ask them what was going on.

"Please... even with Kushina by your side, you wouldn't have completely lost your intelligence, would you?" Hatake Akira retorted, before receiving a flick on the head from Namikaze Minato.

"speak nicely!"

"We used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Akira Hatake covered his forehead and said something, and Kakashi, who was busy next to him, also accidentally smacked him.

"My brother created two shadow clones. One went to the market to buy fruit, while the other shadow clone accompanied Kurenai Yuhi to her graduation ceremony."

"Damn it, Kakashi, you don't need to reveal all your secrets to me, do you?!"

Akira Hatake cursed, mainly because Kakashi's finishing ability was too strong, making it difficult for Akira Hatake to cope.

"Ming, using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to fool girls is not the behavior of a cute boy."

Kushina, with her sharp ears, followed the gossip and came over. When it comes to this kind of thing, women always love a good show and may complain, but they are always full of curiosity.

"Kushina-sensei, please stop. I did this only because..."

"Hmph, you made a mistake, so what are you trying to argue about!" Kushina said unhappily, bending down and pinching Akira Hatake's cheeks, gently pulling at his face and changing his facial features in various ways.

"It's the last get-together before Class 8 disbands. You can't miss it, but Kurenai can come too, just like you and Minato-sensei. That would be great."

Kushina gave Akira Hatake some advice, which left Kakashi, who was standing aside waiting for Akira to get scolded, dumbfounded. This wasn't going to happen, was it?

"Master's wife, I'm not scared..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Kurenai won't be happy, or that your Minato-sensei won't agree?" Kushina said, glancing at Minato Namikaze with her unique aura perfectly captured. "Where your Minato-sensei is, my word carries the most weight."

"Is it... Minato?"

"Haha, your teacher's wife is right, she has a lot to say on this."

Minato Namikaze grinned foolishly, completely oblivious to the embarrassment Kushina had shown him; on the contrary, his eyes were filled with nothing but Kushina's image.

Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Yongdai Mei truly lives up to her name; her doting husband persona makes even Hatake Akira feel somewhat ashamed.

"Then...should I call Kurenai Yuhi over?"

"Go on, what are you standing there for?" Kushina laughed and kicked Akira Hatake.

"..."

Akira Hatake really wanted to say that he wasn't Minato Namikaze, as he was very concerned about his reputation, but he only thought about it for a moment and then shrank back without daring to speak.

Seeing Akira Hatake disappear from the spot using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kushina smiled and narrowed her eyes, as if recalling her past moments with Minato Namikaze. She took two steps back and moved closer to his embrace.

Kakashi, now all alone, felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and his actions of setting up the barbecue grill were inevitably a bit rough.

……

Boom!

Yuhi Akane's face suddenly went blank as she stared at "Hatake Akira" who had turned into smoke and disappeared. She had no idea what had happened.

Shock, grievance, and sadness all combined, and tears welled up in her eyes in an instant, ready to fall at the slightest breeze.

"I'm sorry, Hong..."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her. Kurenai turned around abruptly, tears welling up in her eyes and streaming down her cheeks and chin onto the ground.

He rushed forward, punching and kicking Akira Hatake with tears in his eyes.

"I'm graduating today, and you actually tried to fool me with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Act like you're on a date! What kind of nonsense is this?!"

"Do you know how long it's been since we last saw each other? How am I supposed to feel about doing this?!"

"Akira Hatake, you bastard!"
