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

"The Book of Seals?" Akira Hatake's heart trembled.

“Yes, the Book of Seals.” Minato Namikaze nodded. “Although it’s just a copy of the Book of Seals, apart from the time limit, the contents recorded inside are exactly the same as the real Book of Seals.”

"That's pretty good too." Akira Hatake said expectantly, "Do I get a share too?"

“Yes, of course!” Minato Namikaze took out a rubbing of the Book of Sealing and waved it in front of Akira Hatake. “You know that I contributed Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Because of your contribution to this technique, the Hokage made a special exception and you can also choose a ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing.”

Well done!

Akira Hatake clenched his fist, roaring inwardly and almost jumping up in excitement.

The Book of Seals of Konoha is the essence of Konoha's ninjutsu collection. It contains many overpowered ninjutsu, such as the Fivefold Rashomon (the fifth Rashomon), which became famous in the later stages of the Naruto world, the Impure World Reincarnation, the Mutual Explosion Tags, the Eight Gates, and the Reaper Death Seal and the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique shown in the early and middle stages.

Each of the ninjutsu listed above is extremely powerful on its own, but the backlash it causes to the user varies.

Although it was difficult to weigh the pros and cons, Akira Hatake quickly made a decision in his mind.

"Teacher, may I choose a few of the ninjutsu recorded in the Book of Sealing?"

Although Akira Hatake had made his decision, he remained clear-headed and knew that this reward would not allow either him or Minato Namikaze to study as they pleased.

"One S-grade, three A-grade, and ten below A-grade."

Hearing Minato Namikaze's answer, Akira Hatake automatically ignored the number of ninjutsu that could be selected after S-rank ninjutsu.

The biggest challenge with S-rank is that ordinary people don't have enough talent to begin with, so even if they know how to cultivate, they can't really achieve anything.

But given Akira Hatake's ninjutsu talent, it would be a shame not to choose an S-rank ninjutsu.

As for what to choose, Akira Hatake was naturally very keen on the S-rank ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju—the Mutual Multiplication Exploding Tags Technique.

The power of the Mutual Explosion Tags technique was evident in the later stages of Naruto, as it blew up the Myojinmon gate and the Ten-Tails' body, which is enough to demonstrate the strength of this technique.

However, if we have to point out a drawback, this technique is an extremely expensive ninjutsu, and its power has a limit. It is completely ineffective against Truth-Seeking Balls derived from Six Paths-level Yin-Yang Release techniques.

However, the last drawback of this technique is a common drawback of all ninjutsu in the ninja world at this stage, so it can't really be considered a drawback if you really want to.

However, before choosing the ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing, Akira Hatake still needs to consult with Minato Namikaze. After all, if the two of them discuss it together, they can master two very powerful S-rank ninjutsu at the same time as quickly as possible.

"Teacher, which ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing do you intend to choose?"

"I haven't decided yet. Besides, when I came into contact with the Book of Sealing before, it was only an excerpt, not a complete copy. I don't understand many of the techniques recorded in it."

Minato Namikaze scratched his head, then broke the seal on the rubbing of the Book of Seals. "Let's take a look at it first, and then make a decision for each other."

Akira Hatake nodded, sat down on the ground near Minato Namikaze, and tilted his head to watch as Minato slowly unfolded the rubbing of the Book of Seals that was placed on his lap.

Chapter 89 Mutual Explosion Tags and Fivefold Rashomon.

It must be said that Akira Hatake has never fought such a rich battle before!

Although he was born into the Hatake clan and his family had a large collection of books, which, while not as impressive as those of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, were still enough to enrich Hatake Akira's theoretical knowledge.

The Hatake family once had a glorious past, and even though they are now in such a sorry state, the foundation they accumulated before is still quite good.

However, the remaining resources of the Hatake family are nothing compared to the contents recorded in the sealed book.

Akira Hatake actually found the forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan in the Scroll of Seals: Izanagi and Izanami!

Even more outrageous is that the Hyuga clan's signature ninjutsu, such as Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Palm, and Rotation, are also recorded in detail in the Scroll of Seals.

At first glance, Akira Hatake was truly shocked, feeling that the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were completely blinded by greed, actually handing over their family's secret techniques.

But upon further reflection, Akira Hatake understood the reason.

The Uchiha clan's Izanagi and Izanami are practically useless without their Sharingan; there's no difference between handing them over and not.

The same applies to the Hyuga clan. Without the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan's inherited skills recorded in the Scroll of Seals are practically useless; there's no difference between seeing them and not seeing them.

However, the various secret techniques of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans recorded in the Scroll of Seals also resolved a question that had been weighing on Akira Hatake's mind.

After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, Danzo, who acquired multiple Sharingan, likely obtained the Izanagi technique from the Scroll of Seals.

However, Akira Hatake did not have the same ulterior motives as Danzo Shimura. The feeling of transplanting body parts that did not belong to oneself is really strange and repulsive.

After reading through the rubbings of the Book of Seals from beginning to end, Akira Hatake had a deeper impression of the entire Book of Seals.

The ninjutsu contained in the Scroll of Seals includes not only the regular Konoha-style ninjutsu and the unconventional Konoha-style ninjutsu, but also some of the signature secret techniques of Konoha's various ninja clans.

However, those family-inherited secret ninjutsu were completely useless to Akira Hatake.

The reason why family-inherited ninjutsu is so special is that, apart from some necessary theories, the hidden training steps that are unknown to others are the true core of family-inherited ninjutsu.

Clearly, the Konoha ninja clans that contributed their clans' secret techniques, like Minato Namikaze, also held back a secret while contributing their ninjutsu.

Moreover, this secret often contains the most crucial training method for the ninjutsu, leaving the successive Hokage of Konoha helpless even if they knew they were holding back.

However, this is still a breakthrough point. As long as one's ninjutsu talent is high enough, it is not impossible to complete the skill or even use it as inspiration to forge a new path.

The most likely representative of this is Orochimaru.

Of course, Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze were no less talented than Orochimaru in ninjutsu; they were simply less skilled than Orochimaru in certain unusual or peculiar aspects.

This is because everyone has their own expertise, and you can't force it...

Even though it can't be forced, for Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze at this stage, this opportunity is obviously powerful enough to support their strength to reach another level.

"Teacher, I choose the technique of multiplying explosive tags."

“An expected choice.” Minato Namikaze smiled, revealing an expression of complete control, and then explained the S-rank ninjutsu he was going to learn.

"Since you chose an offensive S-rank ninjutsu, I'll choose this one too."

Minato Namikaze pointed to the beginning of the rubbing of the Book of Seals, where the S-rank ninjutsu recorded was naturally the well-known Fivefold Rashomon.

The defensive capabilities of this technique are self-evident. As long as there is enough chakra, this summoning technique-type defensive ninjutsu can withstand 99% of ninjutsu attacks or Tailed Beast Ball attacks below the Six Paths level.

As for the remaining 1%, it naturally comes from the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju. His Sage Mode combined with his powerful Wood Release is sometimes truly unreasonable.

Even so, the Fivefold Rashomon technique can definitely be called the ultimate defense at this stage!

Akira Hatake understood Minato Namikaze's current plans. In terms of sneak attacks and instant kills, Minato Namikaze possessed the shameless Flying Thunder God Technique, and his attack methods included Rasengan and Rasenshuriken, making him a thorough assassin who could initiate attacks from the front.

If Minato Namikaze were to add the S-rank defensive ninjutsu Fivefold Rashomon chosen by him, he would gain another layer of hard protection, greatly enriching the coverage and adaptability of Minato Namikaze's abilities.

This transformed Minato Namikaze from a team-fight initiator assassin into a truly versatile and powerful warrior.

Although the Fivefold Rashomon still has limitations, such as its fixed and inflexible location and excessive chakra consumption that puts a strain on the body, considering all the pros and cons, there is currently no technique more suitable for Minato Namikaze than this one.

"Then teacher..." Hatake Akira didn't finish his sentence, blinking his eyes and looking expectantly at Namikaze Minato, his meaning was very clear.

"The teacher is also free from your care."

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly and gave a brief reply.

Thus, the master and apprentice's half-concealed deal was instantly completed, and the exchange was equivalent to each of them gaining two S-rank ninjutsu, one for offense and one for defense.

……

Konoha office,

There was a crystal ball on the table, resembling a scene of a witch's divination.

Inside the transparent crystal ball, a scene was revealed: Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze were sitting cross-legged side by side, seemingly lucid.

"Heh, you two slippery devils!"

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't hear their conversation through the "telescope technique," he could understand everything just by looking at the scene and imagining it.

Moreover, this was his initial plan; he intended to enhance the strength of Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake.

He had this in mind from the beginning: to have the master and disciple look at the rubbing of the Book of Seals together.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi has hypocritical tendencies, he is never stingy with those he considers "his own people," and is so generous that it feels like he's giving them away for free.

To put it bluntly, all of this ultimately comes down to that book, "The Will of Fire," which Hatake Akira had practically worn out, with detailed notes and reflections written on it.

Once a subordinate has been brainwashed, who would complain about the other's strength?

As for the idea of ​​someone's achievements overshadowing their master, that's practically nonexistent in the Naruto world. Otherwise, the person currently in power in the Land of Fire would be the Hokage of Konoha, not the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Similarly, although Danzo Shimura was somewhat harsh in training his Root ninjas, he treated them like treasures once they became skilled.

While Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura never hesitated to sacrifice themselves when necessary, they still hoped their subordinates would be as strong as possible unless such a last resort occurred.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's seemingly generous reward this time was actually a complete giveaway.

If Akira Hatake knew the whole story, he would definitely be laughing his head off.

What can be written on paper is something that only decent people can do.

Why would a decent person bother with all that fancy stuff?

But, ironically, Hiruzen Sarutobi falls for this...

Chapter 90 Jiraiya Returns to the Village.

"Akira Hatake! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here?!"

After memorizing all the relevant information about the Mutual Explosion Tags Technique, Akira Hatake still didn't stand Tsunade up and rushed back to Konoha Hospital as fast as he could.

But it was too late. The moment he entered Tsunade's office, he was met with Tsunade's angry roar and witnessed his desk being smashed in two by a fist.

"Lady Tsunade, something has come up..."

Akira Hatake explained that he was a little intimidated by Tsunade; when this woman was being unreasonable, she was even more formidable than a tigress!

"Hmph, I'm not going to argue with you."

Having found a way out, Tsunade didn't pursue the matter further. After all, she was the one asking for help, and being too domineering would only backfire.

Furthermore, Tsunade did not inquire about the detailed reasons for Hatake Akira's lateness. There were many things that Tsunade simply did not want to think about or do, but this did not prevent her from acting subconsciously.

"Then, Lady Tsunade, let's get started."

Akira Hatake let out a long sigh of relief, then raised his hand and shot out a purplish-red chakra chain that wrapped around Tsunade's slender waist, which was so small it could be grasped in one hand.

Swallowing hard, Akira Hatake couldn't help but wonder, what did Tsunade eat to grow such a domineering figure?

……

"Ha, Konoha! This Toad Sage, Jiraiya, has returned!"

Some of the bold voices carried far away. Jiraiya, carrying a huge scroll on his back, stepped into the gate of Konoha. The two special Jonin guarding the gate bowed to Jiraiya with great excitement.
