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

"Ming, I want you to give me a reasonable explanation, instead of deceiving me again."

As soon as Akira Hatake finished speaking, Minato Namikaze frowned, his eyes flashing with disappointment, despair, and gloom.

"Whether it's true or not, teacher, you'll know once you try it."

Akira Hatake immediately got into character, and at first glance, he did indeed have a bit of a charlatan-like air about him.

Of course, Akira Hatake's current age is a major drawback; no matter how you look at it, he seems like a con artist.

However, if Akira Hatake were to grow old or lose his job one day, taking up a flag and telling fortunes on the street would be an excellent way to make a living.

"How do you want to prove it?"

Minato Namikaze decided to give Akira Hatake a chance, after all, Akira was a disciple he truly cared for and had once genuinely recognized.

"It's very simple. I'll divine some things that will happen immediately or just happened, and then I'll trouble Minato-sensei to check them out. You'll see whether they're true or false."

Akira Hatake placed three copper coins into the tortoise shell, blocked the openings at both ends of the shell with his hands, and shook his arms, creating a continuous clattering sound of the copper coins.

This continued for three seconds. Then, Akira Hatake released his right hand, and all the copper coins inside the tortoise shell fell to the ground, immediately forming a hexagram.

After glancing at it, Akira Hatake muttered some terms that Minato Namikaze couldn't understand. However, if you listened carefully, Minato could understand some of the words.

But when these words are put together, Minato Namikaze becomes someone who is blind to reality.

"Teacher, the cat kept by the wealthy merchant's wife and daughter in the village has run away again. The cat is hiding in Training Ground No. 8, on the third big tree to the left of the middle of the fifth row on the east side."

"I hope you're not lying to me."

Minato Namikaze gave Akira Hatake a deep look, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

"I'm not lying to you, I'm really too lazy to calculate such a small thing."

After Minato Namikaze left, Akira Hatake whispered.

Ming Shi Yin, the support hero in Honor of Kings, has a really strong divination ability. At least in small matters like this, he is absolutely accurate every time.

Even if the wealthy businessman's wife and daughter who lost the cat don't come in person, as long as Akira Hatake has some information about the businessman's wife and daughter, he can easily calculate it.

After all, when Team 8 was on genin missions, they often went looking for cats for wealthy businessmen's wives and daughters.

A short while later, Minato Namikaze returned with a strange expression, a few cat hairs still hanging from his arm.

"I found the cat at the location you mentioned. It is indeed the cat we searched for during our genin missions." Minato Namikaze's tone had improved considerably. "But I still have a feeling about this..."

"It's okay if you don't believe me, we'll just try again."

Akira Hatake didn't expect Minato Namikaze to believe it at first glance; anyone would have to test it several times before they would truly believe it.

Following the same method, after shaking for three seconds, Akira Hatake finished another divination.

"Teacher, we are cleaning the upstream section of the river this morning. In five minutes, a child will fall into the water. Although he will not be in mortal danger, your presence can help him suffer less."

Minato Namikaze didn't hesitate this time and disappeared from Akira Hatake's sight once again.

Six minutes later, Minato Namikaze returned, his strange expression even more pronounced, and he looked at Akira Hatake with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

To verify the truth of what Akira Hatake said, Minato Namikaze deliberately hid after arriving at the location. When he saw the child fall into the water, he did not immediately rescue him, but waited anxiously and patiently for a while.

As expected, the child who fell into the water was rescued, but he was left with a fear of water.

If I were to take action myself, would it be...?

Just as Minato Namikaze was lost in thought, Akira Hatake spoke up.

"Teacher, you didn't interfere, right?"

Akira Hatake, confident and composed, said, "Are you thinking that if you were to get involved, things would be different?"

He looked exactly like a charlatan, and Akira Hatake was practically stroking his beard as he spoke. "You're just like I used to be. After knowing the outcome of some things, you always hesitated about whether or not to take action to change things."

"Is change... really that easy?" Minato Namikaze's voice was somewhat low. "Can the predetermined trajectory of fate really be foreseen and changed in advance through divination?"

"Yes!" Akira Hatake said decisively. "After calculating everything without omission, human effort can overcome fate. It's really easy to change the trajectory of one's own destiny."

"What if I say I don't believe you?" Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow.

In fact, Minato Namikaze already believed it; he only said it out of spite or to confirm it again.

Akira Hatake didn't speak, but instead cast another divination.

"Teacher, take three steps forward and look up at the sky for half a minute."

"Is this being blamed on me again?" Minato Namikaze's face immediately fell. He was still very unhappy, remembering how Akira Hatake had schemed against him.

"Since you still don't believe me, then I'll naturally make you believe me." Akira Hatake smiled, though there was a hint of mischief in his smile.

Minato Namikaze didn't say anything more, but took three steps forward as instructed by Akira Hatake, and then looked up at the sky.

Half a minute later, a bird flew by, and sticky, slightly smelly excrement fell from the sky.

pat.

Feeling the coolness and softness on his face, Minato Namikaze was stunned. He reached out and touched it in disbelief, and finally looked at Akira Hatake with red eyes.

"bright!"

"Ahem, teacher, don't be anxious..." Akira Hatake quickly calmed Minato Namikaze, who was about to explode in anger.

"Teacher, the bird's droppings should not affect anyone, but after I found out, I attributed this unrelated matter to you. If you do as I say, then the established facts will change."

“Seeing the big picture from small details, even if the matter is small, I have the ability to do so. As long as I can predict it and make all the necessary preparations in advance, everything will develop in the direction I envision.”

Akira Hatake's last words left Minato Namikaze stunned for a full two minutes. When he finally came to his senses, there was already an apology in his eyes.

"Ming, I shouldn't have doubted you."

"Teacher, actually, I didn't foresee what happened today," Akira Hatake replied, seemingly changing the subject. "The unpredictable future is like the fickle nature of human hearts; you never know when an unexpected event will occur."

"Therefore, teachers don't need to blame themselves. What we need to do is to make the most comprehensive preparations to deal with all the unexpected changes that may occur in the future."

"Why don't you just say you don't care, or that you forgive me?"

Minato Namikaze was somewhat speechless at Akira Hatake's long-winded explanation. What should have been a simple sentence was instead uttered by Hatake in a series of cryptic and obscure statements.

"Just think about it, that's what charlatans are like."

"..."

Minato Namikaze lost his temper, but then he remembered something and mysteriously approached Akira Hatake, whispering something in his ear.

"Ming, can you divine for me when your master's wife and I will get married, when we will have children, and whether the children will be boys or girls?"

If it's a boy, will he take after me or your teacher's wife? If it's a girl, will her personality take after me or your teacher's wife?

Or, to put it another way, will my future children, in terms of appearance, personality, or talent, resemble me more, or will they resemble your teacher's wife more?

Good guy!

As expected of Yongdai Mei!

Akira Hatake was a bit overwhelmed by Minato Namikaze's series of tongue-twisting questions, so he quickly pulled out the speech he had prepared in advance.

Chapter 79: A major weakness of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Akira Hatake was fully aware of everything that would happen between Minato Namikaze and Kushina in the future.

Although his existence makes the future timeline unpredictable, many established facts remain unchanged.

Minato Namikaze will definitely marry Kushina Uzumaki, and their child will definitely be the reincarnation of Ashura, and the child's name will probably still be Naruto Uzumaki.

After casually casting a divination, Akira Hatake pondered for a moment before giving a vague reply.

"Teacher, your marriage with Kushina is very happy, and your child is a boy. As for who he looks more like, that's hard to say."

"I see." Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile, his face beaming with happiness and anticipation, making Akira Hatake feel quite envious.

"Ming, can you tell me what Konoha will be like in your divination? And what will I be like?"

After a brief lapse in concentration, Minato Namikaze returned to the main topic. He was curious about what role he would play in Konoha's future, according to Akira Hatake's "divination."

"You will be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha in the future, but your situation is not good, and you could even say it is very frustrating."

Akira Hatake only intended to reveal half of what he knew. He believed that revealing too much would not only diminish the mystery but also create more loopholes.

Divination is something that's always shrouded in mystery and can't be clearly understood. If we go into too much detail, Minato Namikaze might become suspicious again.

"And then?" Minato Namikaze asked anxiously, having only told Akira half of what he wanted to say.

This is human nature; after all, no one wants to be prescient, and everyone wants to know the future outcome that is within their grasp.

"Teacher, you need to know that even if I can calculate many things, the result can only be known by me alone."

"Why?" Minato Namikaze couldn't understand.

"Because heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, and because the more people who know, the more intense the fluctuations in the future will be." Akira Hatake gave a very good reason. "Moreover, predicting the future also requires me to pay a certain price."

"The price?!" Minato Namikaze's eyes widened, his gaze sweeping over Akira Hatake's body with concern. "What was the price? Is your life in danger? Will it cause irreversible damage to your body?"

Minato Namikaze's rapid-fire questions warmed Akira Hatake's heart.

"It will only reduce lifespan a bit, not a huge price to pay."

"Not a big deal?!" Minato Namikaze's voice rose somewhat. "You think lifespan is a minor issue?"

"Teacher, it's just a matter of living two years less. I'm still young, it won't affect me at all." Akira Hatake pretended to be indifferent and waved his hand nonchalantly at Minato Namikaze.

"Try to use your divination abilities as little as possible in the future." Minato Namikaze finally said what Akira Hatake had expected, and Minato was also somewhat remorseful at this moment.

"If I had known that divination would require you to pay such a high price, I would never have said that..."

"Teacher, don't worry too much. I will definitely use the divination ability less in the future, and I will not use it unless absolutely necessary."

"Yes, I'm relieved to hear that."

Minato Namikaze nodded. After the misunderstanding between the two was cleared up, he resumed his previous attitude towards Akira Hatake.

"I'll let you off the hook for scheming against me. As for Kakashi's contract with the toad clan of Mount Myōboku as a summoning beast, I'll ask Jiraiya-sama for help. The chances of success are very high."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Don't thank me yet. Although the probability is high, I can't guarantee 100% success. Everything still depends on Jiraiya-sama." Minato Namikaze was worried that he was being too confident and quickly gave Akira Hatake a heads-up.

"I know." Akira Hatake nodded. "Teacher, just do your best. If it doesn't work, I'm here for you."

"You... you're becoming more and more unfathomable to me."
