Ninja World: I am really a support ninja

"So, if you want us to reach a friendly cooperation with each other, you must understand that you must be restrained by me in the future."

"Because you are too dangerous. So dangerous that I am afraid to cooperate with you."

What Hatake Akira said was the truth. Knowing Orochimaru, he was more or less reluctant to cooperate with him.

The main reason was that Orochimaru had too many ways to save his life, and he had an endless supply of forbidden techniques, which made Hatake Akira unsure of killing him with one strike.

After cooperating with Orochimaru, some of Hatake Akira's ideas combined with Orochimaru's super scientific research ability, the power they unleashed was enough to subvert the entire ninja world.

This is not a joke, Orochimaru has that ability.

Orochimaru, who has mastered the most advanced technology in the ninja world, is truly an absolute genius, but also a complete madman.

"Then what is my goal?" Orochimaru did not answer immediately, but asked Hatake Akira with interest.

"To gain eternal life... no, to be more precise, to gain all the knowledge in the world and understand all the unknowns in the world."

Hatake Akira looked at Orochimaru and commented on him confidently, "But there is so much knowledge in the world, and there are so many unknown things in the world. With only a hundred years of life, you can't achieve your goal at all."

"So, the pursuit of immortality becomes inevitable. It is an inevitable choice on your way to pursuing your ultimate goal."

Pop, pop, pop!

Orochimaru clapped his hands, his grin almost reaching his ears, "Ming-jun, you really hit the nail on the head. I didn't expect someone to understand me so well."

"I'm very happy, but I'm also curious, how do you know this?"

Orochimaru leaned forward and looked Hatake Akira up and down, trying to tell whether Hatake Akira was real or not from his micro-expressions and body movements.

But unfortunately, Hatake Akira is no longer someone Orochimaru can see through...

"You don't need to know these. You just need to know that I not only understand your ultimate goal, but I can also help you achieve your ultimate goal."

Of course, Akira Hatake would not confess the truth to Orochimaru.

If you cooperate with Orochimaru and he reveals your secrets all of a sudden, you will suffer the consequences!

Orochimaru has never been an easy person to deal with. He is a complete poisonous snake and you never know when he may jump out and bite you.

"I am very sure that you can help me achieve my ultimate goal. That is why we can sit together so harmoniously."

Orochimaru did not continue to ask, but pointed at himself, "So, Mingjun, what do you want from me?"

"Your knowledge."

Hatake Akira stated his purpose, and did not forget to add, "Of course, it would be even better if you could never betray our cooperative relationship."

"We both get what we want. Why would you betray me so easily?"

Orochimaru laughed wildly, then he stopped smiling and stared at Hatake Akira with a serious face, "But if one day in the future, something disrupts the balance between what each party needs, then everything will become confusing."

"You will regret it then!" Hatake Akira glared at Orochimaru, and at the same time felt a little bit of difficulty in his heart.

Orochimaru is really difficult to control. It can be said that in the entire ninja world, no one can make decisions for him except himself.

This cooperation is destined to be imperfect, and the little thoughts in the two people's hearts will always exist.

"That's boring, Mingjun." Orochimaru shook his head, "When you feel that I am of no use to you, will you still choose to cooperate with me?"

"meeting!"

Hatake Akira nodded without hesitation, and this attitude made Orochimaru slightly stunned.

"I don't believe it." Orochimaru said it very decisively, because except for himself, Orochimaru now can't trust anyone.

Because Orochimaru has experienced so much and met so many people, but without exception, no one can understand Orochimaru's thoughts and actions.

This is true for Tsunade, Jiraiya, and even more so for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

So slowly, Orochimaru, the crazy scientist, naturally chose to close his heart and gradually formed his current personality.

"Don't disbelieve me, because I have countless projects that I want to cooperate with you on, countless problems that I need you to solve, and countless strange theories that you have never come into contact with."

Hatake Akira explained his reasons, "Even if I give you a hundred or even a thousand years, you will never be able to solve all the problems in my mind!"

"Since you can't solve all of them, our partnership will remain, and you will live long and healthy with my help."

"Ming Jun, people can be confident, but being too confident is arrogance!"

Orochimaru's tone was a little impatient. He really hated outsiders interfering in the areas he was good at, just like Danzo Shimura before and Akira Hatake now.

"No, no, no, I'm telling the truth."

Seeing that Orochimaru was aroused by his pride, Hatake Akira immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Because I have a theory that I need you to verify."

"Oh?" Orochimaru became interested. "Is it a theory about what?"

"Life and Soul."

Hatake Akira uttered a word, and then placed a sealing scroll on the table, "The body sealed inside is Nohara Rin's body, but it is slightly different from the other bodies. You can open it and take a look."

"Life and soul... a profound and philosophical research topic that interests me greatly."

Orochimaru took the Sealing Scroll in his hand, "But it's just a corpse. How can it be related to this great research topic? Even if it is, it won't be too special."

"I have seen so many corpses in my life, so many that I can't even count them..."

Orochimaru was indeed very interested in the research topic that Hatake Akira had just mentioned, but he scoffed at Nohara Rin's corpse.

As far as Orochimaru knew, Nohara Rin was just an ordinary medical ninja, the only special thing about her was her physique.

But would Orochimaru be impressed by Nohara Rin's physique?

He doesn't like it!

Just as Orochimaru said, he had seen and studied countless corpses, and he had seen many corpses that were more representative than Nohara Rin.

So, who is Nohara Rin?

But as Orochimaru took out Nohara Rin's body from the sealing scroll, a strange scene with the charm of life appeared in front of Orochimaru.

Nohara Lin was lying quietly on the table like a sleeping beauty, wearing a blue and white full body armor, which made her body look very bloated.

"This is……"

Orochimaru reached out and gently stroked the exposed back of Nohara Rin's hand. The warm and elastic touch made Orochimaru unable to believe that this was a corpse that had been dead for several days.

Turning Nohara Rin's palm over, Orochimaru pressed his fingers on her pulse, "How... is this possible?"

The distinct feeling of contraction and swelling under his fingertips made Orochimaru no longer calm, "How can a corpse have a pulse?!"

"Not only does it have a pulse, but all functions of Nohara Lin's body are intact, just like a normal person."

Hatake Akira spoke at the right time, "But the only problem is that Nohara Rin's body is alive, but she is actually dead. This is a very strange thing."

Placing his finger under Nohara Rin's nose, Orochimaru felt Nohara Rin's breath.

"It's very strange, but... it's really worth studying!"

Orochimaru's eyes were shining at this time. He had long forgotten his previous disdain. All he had now was eagerness and impatience.

"You wait first."

Hatake Akira reached out to stop Orochimaru, "The heavy armor on Nohara Rin cannot be removed now."

"If the heavy armor is removed now, Nohara Rin's body will return to the same state as an ordinary body."

"Oh? In other words, the reason why Nohara Lin was able to become like this is all thanks to this heavy armor?"

Orochimaru reached out and knocked on the heavy armor on Nohara Rin's body, "Could this be the work of an enlightened ruler?"

"It does have something to do with me."

Hatake Akira admitted frankly, "This heavy armor is called 'Hegemony Heavy Armor'. It is a divine weapon that I got by accident. It can continuously restore the life energy dissipated in the user's body."

"Continuously... constantly? Restore... life energy?"

The divine light in Orochimaru's eyes became even hotter, and he couldn't help but reach out and stroke the surface of the "Conqueror Heavy Armor" back and forth.

If he puts on this full body armor...

"Don't worry about it. This artifact is bound to Nohara Lin. No one else can use it, not even me."

Hatake Akira's words shattered Orochimaru's endless fantasies, and Orochimaru instantly calmed down and returned to normal.

"Since neither you nor I can use it...then forget it."

Orochimaru looked regretful, but then a strong desire to explore ignited in his eyes, "I know why Mingjun just took life and soul as research topics."

"Nohara Lin's current state is a delicate state between death and life."

"And the heavy armor that Nohara Lin is wearing is the most critical factor in maintaining Nohara Lin in this delicate state."

"So Ming Jun...what do you want me to do?"

"Resurrect Nohara Lin."

Hatake Akira looked at Orochimaru very seriously, "This is my only request. As for the process, or if you find anything interesting in it, I don't care. I just want Nohara Rin to be resurrected. Can you do it?"

“Haha, it’s hard for others, but for me…”

Orochimaru stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Hatake Akira's eyes, "In two years at the latest, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Then in exchange, I wonder if you can meet some of my requests?"

Licking his lips, Orochimaru stared straight at Hatake Akira, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty, with undisguised greed in his eyes.

Chapter 227: Returning to the village, encountering the young Uchiha Itachi.

After promising benefits and leaving behind Nohara Rin's "corpse", Hatake Akira turned around and took most of Orochimaru's Konoha ninjas back to the battlefields of Fuuto and Ryogoku.

Using Flying Thunder God's lightning to transport a large number of ninja troops in one breath is a very energy- and chakra-consuming task.

With Akira Hatake's current strength, it took him several trips back and forth to finally get it done.

In general, with the intervention of Akira Hatake, the mobility of the Fire Country's ninja forces was stretched to the maximum, which to a certain extent announced the end of the Third Ninja World War.

Hatake Akira didn't want to get involved with the remaining scraps.

First, Hatake Akira participated in the entire Third Ninja World War and fought countless battles, large and small, which made him somewhat physically and mentally exhausted.

The second is that Minato Namikaze's succession ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow. As Minato Namikaze's disciple and the current patriarch of the Hatake clan, Hatake Akira has no reason not to attend.

Of course, Kakashi couldn't be left behind.

After arranging everything and consolidating the defense line of the northwestern border of the Land of Fire, Hatake Akira returned to Konoha Village with Kakashi.
