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

"No rush, no rush. You get some rest and come to my place tonight."

Jiraiya glanced furtively at Minato Namikaze and Kakashi, "Let's make this clear first, they have to go after me!"

"Okay, I'll be right after you in line...!"

Akira Hatake shook his head, but reluctantly agreed nonetheless.

Tonight will be another busy night...

Chapter 136: Madara Uchiha Finally Makes a Move. (Third update, 10,000 words, please subscribe and vote!)

Akira Hatake, who had returned to Jiraiya's unit, spent a relatively peaceful night.

There were no shouts of killing, no explosions from ninjutsu, and no cries of agony from ninjas on the verge of death.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction, but the undercurrents surging beneath the surface remained unknown to most.

The meeting between the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage was kept very secret; even the Konoha spies lurking in the two hidden villages did not receive any information.

The lack of news means that Konoha is unaware that an even greater challenge is quietly approaching.

Moreover, Madara Uchiha, who had been hiding in the shadows and quietly waiting for his opportunity, also began to stir.

The colossal Gedo Mazo stood in the extremely spacious underground cavern, where the aged Uchiha Madara, with one foot already in a coffin, sat cross-legged at its feet.

The pipes connecting Madara Uchiha to the Gedo Mazo continuously supplied Madara Uchiha with the life energy he depended on for survival.

Although the Gedo Mazo, as the husk of the Ten-Tails, has lost its chakra, it is still an incarnation of the God Tree, and there are still many powers within it that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The life energy that allowed Madara Uchiha to survive to this day is one of the many unknown powers within the Ten-Tails' body.

Although Madara Uchiha survived to this day by relying on the body of the Ten-Tails, this way of living a precarious existence caused great torment to the proud Madara Uchiha.

"White Zetsu, any new information?"

His voice was very old, lacking the domineering presence of his youth, and the weakness in his voice indicated that Uchiha Madara had truly become an old man in his twilight years.

However, Madara Uchiha's obsession only grew stronger with each passing year. He refused to allow his hard-won survival, which he had sacrificed his dignity for, to end in vain.

Yes, but you might not be willing to listen.

Bai Jue's voice was high-pitched, and his words couldn't hide his carefree and unconventional personality. "If you get really angry, then nobody will be there to discuss with me what it feels like to poop..."

"Say it."

Madara Uchiha had long been immune to White Zetsu's personality, and now that he was having some difficulty breathing, it was even less likely that he would get angry with White Zetsu.

"In this Shinobi World War, Konoha produced quite a few geniuses."

"Oh? Are there any outstanding junior Uchiha?"

"This question... um... is difficult to answer." White Zetsu paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly rose, "The Uchiha clan is utterly useless this time, they're really getting worse as they get older!"

White Zetsu's clumsy self-amusement did not elicit much of a reaction from Madara Uchiha. He merely glanced up at White Zetsu, the three tomoe in his eyes slowly rotating.

"If you weren't still useful to me, you wouldn't be able to speak anymore."

"No!" Bai Jue trembled, clearly recalling some unpleasant things from the past. "I have another very important piece of information."

"explain."

"The three geniuses who emerged from Konoha are the two Hatake brothers, Akira Hatake and Kakashi, and their master, Minato Namikaze!"

"I know Minato Namikaze. He's a decent junior who learned and improved upon Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Slash, but that's about it. He can't cause much trouble."

Madara Uchiha remained calm, showing no regard for anyone in the ninja world, even in his old age.

The only thing he could value and hold a grudge about was Hashirama Senju, who was already buried in the ground.

"Let's talk about Akira Hatake and Kakashi. Are those sword-wielding families now trying to rise again?"

"Whether they will rise or not is unknown, but the two Hatake brothers, one inherited the Flying Thunder God Technique and the other mastered the Bloodline Elimination Technique."

"Bloodstained Elimination? A rather interesting power, I remember it being that guy Mu's signature ninjutsu." Madara Uchiha seemed to know everything about the ninja world, "But it's just 'interesting,' it doesn't even warm me up..."

“That’s certainly true for you.” White Zetsu nodded seriously, then tilted his head and looked at Uchiha Madara with some doubt. “Why don’t you ask Hatake Akira?”

"The Flying Thunder God Technique... is just an unorthodox ninjutsu. In the face of true power, it's only good for running away quickly. Why should I pay too much attention to it?"

“But Akira Hatake has two more abilities.” White Zetsu grinned. “If you combine these two abilities, they’re no less powerful than the bloodline of the Uchiha clan.”

"Oh?" Madara Uchiha became interested. "Tell me about it."

"I don't know the name of Akira Hatake's ability, but I do know that one of his abilities is to increase the attack and defense of his teammates by about 40%."

"A very good ability. Compared to the Nine-Tails, Akira Hatake's ability is obviously better."

Madara Uchiha was a man of great stature. From just a few words from White Zetsu, he understood the advantages and potential of Akira Hatake's first support ability. Comparing it to the Nine-Tails, his high regard for Akira is evident.

"Hehe, this auxiliary ability is not only that!" Bai Jue said in a light tone, as if he was taking credit. "It can temporarily break through the limitations of the white eyes imprinted on the caged bird, and its purity can also reach an extremely high level."

More importantly, this enhancement has no side effects. On the contrary, if this ability were used on the Uchiha clan or on you, it might even allow your eyes to reach a new level.

Upon hearing White Zetsu drop another bombshell, Madara Uchiha raised his head completely, his expression no longer indifferent, but extremely serious.

"If I can use him... my plan's success rate will be further guaranteed."

"And what about the second ability?"

"The second ability... I can hardly believe it exists in this world!" Bai Jue exclaimed excitedly, his facial expressions animated. "It can enhance other people's life energy; it's non-toxic, harmless, and has no side effects!"

"what?!"

Even the well-traveled Madara Uchiha could not remain calm at this moment.

During his years of barely surviving, Madara Uchiha gained a clearer understanding of the meaning represented by life energy.

If he had had Hashirama Senju's life energy back then, he would definitely have won the battle at the Valley of the End, and the timeline for awakening the Rinnegan would have been many years earlier!

Even now, Madara Uchiha relies on the life energy provided by the Gedo Mazo to survive.

"Tsk tsk, it's really rare to see the mighty Uchiha Madara with such a surprised expression!" White Zetsu was even happier and moved closer to Uchiha Madara, wanting to see him more clearly.

Unexpectedly, Madara Uchiha suddenly reached out and grabbed White Zetsu by the neck, his fingers gradually tightening.

"If you utter another word of nonsense, I'll snap your neck!"

"I see!"

Seeing that White Zetsu had calmed down, Madara Uchiha took a deep breath and then tossed White Zetsu aside as if he were throwing away trash.

"continue."

"Based on my observations over this period of time, it seems that Akira Hatake's second ability can endlessly channel life energy into other people's bodies. If you tie him to your back and let him continuously channel life energy into you day and night, you might just regain your youth!"

“Based on your previous description, this possibility does exist…” Madara Uchiha’s eyes showed regret. “If it were a few years earlier, I might have been tempted.”

"However, the plan has already begun, the only thing missing is one of my spokespeople."

He glanced at the now docile White Zetsu and asked, "Have you found a candidate among the Uchiha juniors I asked you to observe?"

"There is one, but... his talent is really hard to describe."

"Heh, you still don't understand the Uchiha clan enough." Madara Uchiha curled the corners of his mouth. "The more selfless, the deeper, and the more unconditional the love, the more it can awaken the truest power within the Uchiha clan's bloodline!"

Speaking of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha was clearly very proud: "As long as the Uchiha junior you mentioned has the exact same search criteria I set for you, he has the potential to become my substitute."

"However, to fully unleash the hidden power deep within his bloodline, we still need to provide him with a little help."

"But from my observation, that kid named Uchiha Obito has some complicated interpersonal relationships, and he's also entangled with the two Hatake brothers."

"Oh? That makes it even more interesting." Madara Uchiha smiled. "Does Obito already have someone he truly loves?"

"I think so..." White Zetsu was a little uncertain. "I have no brothers, I've never been in a relationship, and I've never even experienced the feeling of pooping. How would I know if that girl named Nohara Rin is Obito Uchiha's true love?"

"..."

When White Zetsu started to act up again, Madara Uchiha gave him a death stare, and the latter immediately became obedient again.

Shrinking his neck, White Zetsu slowly recounted the information he had gathered to Madara Uchiha.

After a long while, Madara Uchiha could no longer hide the satisfied smile on his lips.

"White Zetsu, spend the rest of your time focusing on Obito and Rin Nohara, and at the same time be wary of the Hatake brothers who have close ties with them."

Madara Uchiha had an idea in mind: "With the Hatake brothers around, it will be extremely difficult for Obito to gain power by losing his beloved, so..."

"No matter what, we can't let the four of them get together!"

“I understand, Madara.” White Zetsu nodded, but then looked confused. “What should I do? Tell me.”

"Offer some important intelligence in exchange for Obito and Rin Nohara's lives. I believe that dark, rotten bug, Danzo Shimura, will not refuse."

"I don't want to deal with him!" Bai Jue's face showed a look of horror. "I almost died last time! He has never trusted me!"

“He trusts no one but himself,” Madara Uchiha said softly. “But when it comes to the safety of Konoha, he clearly cares more. You will not be in danger this time.”

"Then should I exchange those intelligences with him?"

"Iwagakure and Kumogakure are going to form an alliance... This is absolutely terrible news for Konoha. I believe Shimura Danzo will make the choice he should make."

"But this information will leak sooner or later. Once the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village form an alliance, they will attack the Land of Fire. Isn't that..."

"If you're brainless, just do as I say!" Madara Uchiha glared fiercely at White Zetsu. "This is your stepping stone. When Shimura Danzo believes in you, when Obito and Nohara Rin become expendable pawns..."

"After informing him of Iwagakure's surprise attack on Konoha, I believe Danzo Shimura will definitely not give up this opportunity."

"He has more faith in himself, but he cares more about Konoha. However, compared to the position of Hokage, he can give up both of them."

"If you understand his character, no matter how cunning Shimura Danzo is, he will become my pawn!"

After saying that, Madara Uchiha waved impatiently at White Zetsu. This blockhead really gave him a lot of trouble.

After White Zetsu left with an embarrassed look on his face, Madara Uchiha closed his eyes again and sat cross-legged at the feet of the Gedo Mazo without moving.

Chapter 137 Danzo Shimura and White Zetsu.

The time was the second day after Akira Hatake returned to Jiraiya's unit.

Last night, Akira Hatake used his third skill to assist Jiraiya in his training, and didn't fall asleep until around 2 a.m.

Although he went to bed a little late, Akira Hatake was very energetic today.

Because Minato Namikaze found him and asked Akira Hatake for the specific training method of the Flying Thunder God Kunai: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
