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

Minato Namikaze readily agreed, and Akira Hatake, forgetting his earlier unhappiness, nodded with a smile.

Chapter 104 Spiral Shuriken VS Five-Fold Rashomon.

The debate between the strongest shield and the strongest spear is a topic that people love to discuss, no matter the world or era.

In fact, when Akira Hatake watched Naruto in his previous life, he was thinking about a question.

That is the Raikage of Kumogakure's Lightning Release Armor and the One-Piece Hand Technique. Which has a higher defense, the Lightning Release Armor or the One-Piece Hand Technique?

Unfortunately, the Hidden Cloud Village has never experienced internal strife, which means that Akira Hatake's doubts have never been substantively supported by direct evidence.

Having lived in the Naruto world for so many years, Akira Hatake has finally resolved some of the doubts in his heart.

Although these are all Akira Hatake's own guesses, they are relatively close to reality.

If the Lightning Armor encounters a three-pronged penetrating hand, the Lightning Armor might have the upper hand. However, against a two-pronged penetrating hand or even a one-pronged penetrating hand, the Lightning Armor would be somewhat inadequate.

So, in this comparison between Akira Hatake and Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake was actually quite aware of the implications.

With the defensive attributes of the Fivefold Rashomon, it is not difficult to defend against the direct attack of the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken.

However, the explosive area damage from the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken can bypass the defenses of the Five Rashomon Gate and directly cover Minato Namikaze, who is hiding behind the Five Rashomon Gate.

However, this is just speculation, since Akira Hatake had already witnessed the defensive strength of the Fivefold Rashomon in the finale.

It can easily defend against Tailed Beast Balls, let alone Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken.

However, we'll only know for sure what the situation will be like after we try it.

"Teacher, are you ready?!"

"Ming, come on!"

"Then... take this!"

Akira Hatake leaped into the air once more and forcefully threw out the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken.

Minato Namikaze also looked serious, his hands rapidly forming hand seals before forcefully slamming them into the ground!

As the ground trembled with a rumbling sound, the five demon-face gates of the Fivefold Rashomon, each as tall as a small mountain, rose up one after another, like five indestructible natural barriers, lying across the fixed trajectory of the Wind and Thunder Release: Whirlpool Shuriken attack.

boom!

Akira Hatake's attack arrived in an instant, breaking through the first demon-face gate of the Fivefold Rashomon, and then continued its momentum toward the second demon-face gate.

boom!

The second demon-face gate was also breached, but the attack power and rotation speed of the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken also dropped significantly, highlighting the instability of its structure.

when!

When the attack reached the third demon-face gate, the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken did not penetrate it, but instead created a very deep dent, with a crisp and pleasant sound.

Immediately afterwards, Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken erupted, with wind-style chakra nature transformation mixed with incompatible lightning-style chakra nature transformation, forming a chakra storm.

However, this explosion was a complete reversal of the previous one. Although the explosion was powerful, the area affected was much smaller.

The first two doors, which had already been breached by the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken, became the outlet for the shockwave, which spread forward in a fan shape.

The third giant gate, which had created a huge dent in its ghost face shape, was also damaged a second time by the shockwave. Already on the verge of collapse, it finally broke, revealing a large hole. The shockwave that spread out slammed into the fourth giant gate.

Unfortunately, the shockwave had reached its limit and, apart from creating a slightly larger commotion, it did not cause any substantial damage to the fourth giant ghost-face gate.

Minato Namikaze, who had been hiding behind the fifth door, waited until the shockwave from the explosion of the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken had subsided before cautiously peeking out from behind and jogging forward to check on the damage.

Akira Hatake also fired a Flying Thunder God kunai. Just as the Flying Thunder God kunai was about to fly towards Minato Namikaze's chest, Akira Hatake activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly appeared next to Minato Namikaze. He also took the Flying Thunder God kunai in mid-air and put it into his ninja tool pouch.

"Teacher, the Fivefold Rashomon is indeed one of the strongest defensive ninjutsu in the hands of the First Hokage. Its strength is enough to withstand all ninjutsu at this stage."

"Yes, the era of the First Hokage is truly fascinating..."

Minato Namikaze remarked, "It may be a tragedy to be born in the same era as the First Hokage, but isn't it also a rare and precious opportunity?"

Minato Namikaze's thoughts were exactly the same as those of a hero who admired each other, and what geniuses love to do most is to challenge another genius.

It's not about proving anything; it's just that the arrogance of a genius doesn't allow for anyone to be on par with him in the same world.

Either fail and admit you're not as talented as others, or succeed and open up a whole new world for yourself.

In short, it's perfectly normal for Minato Namikaze to yearn for the era of Hashirama Senju, and Akira Hatake can't say there's anything wrong with it.

"Probably, but I think if Minato-sensei had been born in that era, he probably wouldn't have achieved what he has today."

While understanding Minato Namikaze's thoughts doesn't mean Akira Hatake wouldn't tell the truth.

As a commoner, Minato Namikaze was lucky in that era to not stand out or die in the crossfire of ninja wars.

"Haha, I think so too."

Minato Namikaze chuckled and scratched his head, not annoyed by Akira Hatake's blunt honesty, but simply laughed it off and ignored the matter.

"The test results are in. Ming, do you have any new ideas?"

"We don't plan to continue the experiment for the time being, but..."

"But what?"

"Teacher, do you think it's possible to break through the defenses of the Fivefold Rashomon if we add Sage Mode to Wind Release: Rasenshuriken or my newly developed ninjutsu?"

To be honest, Akira Hatake was somewhat unwilling, still feeling that the power of the Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken was not quite enough.

It could also be described as Akira Hatake's competitive spirit; he's currently focused on how to completely break through the defenses of the Fivefold Rashomon.

"Well...it's hard to say..."

Minato Namikaze hasn't started training in Sage Mode yet, and his understanding of its specific power mostly comes from Jiraiya, so his tone is somewhat vague.

"I was just saying, there will be plenty of opportunities to test it again in the future." Akira Hatake took the initiative to change the subject. "Minato-sensei, thank you for your hard work this time."

Although Minato Namikaze wasn't made to suffer any hardship, it was already quite kind of him to cooperate with the test. Akira Hatake naturally wouldn't overlook the essentials of being a decent person because of a trivial matter.

"Not really, and I'm also very curious about how effective the Fivefold Rashomon technique is defensively." Minato Namikaze smiled gently. "The results are in, and I feel that it can completely withstand a Tailed Beast Ball!"

An ordinary Tailed Beast Ball wouldn't pose a major problem, but the Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Ball empowered by Madara Uchiha's Susanoo is in serious trouble. Even the Fivefold Rashomon, with its powerful defense, can only alter its flight trajectory.

So, we're only at the very beginning. If we don't want to be blown away by the aftershocks of the later power struggles, we have a long way to go...

After testing the attack and defense capabilities of Wind and Lightning Release: Rasenshuriken and Fivefold Rashomon, the three masters and disciples parted ways again.

However, on the way back, Kakashi seemed hesitant to speak.

This made Akira Hatake curious, as Kakashi hadn't shown this expression in a long time.

"Kakashi, just say what's on your mind."

Akira Hatake turned to look at Kakashi, who was walking beside him, and grinned broadly.

“Brother…I want to…” Kakashi stammered.

"What do you want to do?" Akira Hatake asked, realizing that Kakashi was acting strangely today.

"Brother, I want to fuse with the Bloodline Elimination!" Kakashi bit his lower lip, looking at Hatake Akira with a determined gaze.

"Bloodline fusion elimination?!" Akira Hatake's eyes widened. "Are you crazy?! Are you out of your mind?!"

Akira Hatake's loud shouting was not without reason. The fusion of the Bloodline Elimination was no child's play, and once it started, there was no reason to stop. There were only two possible outcomes for Kakashi.

One is success, where one's own strength leaps to the level of a Kage;

The other is failure, being torn to pieces by the three out-of-control chakra nature transformations.

Even for a renowned genius ninja like Hatake Sakumo, it took him almost half a year from theoretical construction to complete integration.

Even though Kakashi's talent is comparable to that of Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi has only been a ninja for a few years, so how much weaker is he compared to Hatake Sakumo?

From the time Kakashi began preparing to fuse with the power of Bloodstained Elimination until now, only a little over a year has passed. Even with the help of the two spellbooks given to him by Akira Hatake, it is basically impossible to succeed.

Kakashi's move was somewhat reckless.

"Brother, I've thought it through very carefully." Kakashi didn't seem to mind at all; instead, he solemnly assured Hatake Akira, "I will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"

"You think you're like your father?!" Akira Hatake's face hardened. "It took my father more than half a year to initially fuse with the power of the Bloodstained Elimination. With your talent and strength, that time limit will be at least twice as long!"

"No, brother, I have completely mastered the nature transformation of the three chakra natures. It's just a matter of fusion. I'm confident!"

Kakashi argued his case forcefully, unusually confronting Akira Hatake, and seemed quite unwilling to back down.

"No!" Akira Hatake refused again.

"Brother!" Kakashi reiterated, "I absolutely can!"

"I said no, and that's final. I won't allow you to take any risks unless you're 200% sure!" Akira Hatake was truly angry this time, and he rarely yelled at Kakashi.

"Brother! I've fallen so far behind you..."

Kakashi was probably intimidated by Akira Hatake's imposing manner, and he voluntarily conceded defeat in this brotherly conflict, lowering his head and revealing the real reason why he wanted to merge with the bloodline and be eliminated ahead of time.

“I know you’re anxious, but that’s no reason for you to risk your life. The artifact I gave to my father… is already damaged.”

Akira Hatake told a lie, and he had no choice but to lie, as he really didn't have enough gold coins left to buy another resurrection armor for Akira Hatake.

"But I...feel so useless..."

Kakashi lowered his head even further, "Even with my brother's help, my physique surpassed Minato-sensei, surpassed Father, surpassed you, and surpassed Jiraiya-sama..."

"But...but...after watching my brother and Minato-sensei's tests today, I feel like I'm...like a frog in a well, probably unable to withstand even the aftershocks of a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken explosion..."

Akira Hatake could understand Kakashi's thoughts, and he could even understand the sense of powerlessness deep in Kakashi's heart.

And who isn't the same?

Akira Hatake had seen the finale and knew exactly how far the Naruto world had developed in the later stages.

Following the proper hand seals has become something only a few honest people would do. Often, the release of a ninjutsu is simply a matter of putting both hands together, raising a finger to the lips, slapping it hard, or blowing on it.

The combat power is severely imbalanced; a single ninjutsu can easily alter the terrain, causing the earth to crack and sink at will.

Moreover, the battles at the Six Paths level are even more outrageous. The absurd setting that makes it impossible to inflict damage using ordinary ninjutsu directly cuts off the future of all non-bloodline ninjas.

Without Kaguya Otsutsuki's bloodline, how can one advance to the Six Paths level?

No matter how strong someone is, compared to a Six Paths level expert, they are just a large energy battery, with their chakra being arbitrarily taken away.
