Ninja World: I am really a support ninja

As for Hatake Akira, he had a premonition that he was caught between Jiraiya and Tsunade, in a dilemma...

Without saying much, during the rest of the assisting time, Hatake Akira was no longer as lively as usual, and he didn't even ask Tsunade about some of his doubts about medical ninjutsu.

Tsunade was also happy to have some peace and quiet. If Jiraiya hadn't suddenly intervened, she would have had a small leap in strength tonight.

But unfortunately, Tsunade was interrupted by Jiraiya, which was the main reason why she was so angry this time.

"Lady Tsunade, my chakra has run out... I can only stop here tonight."

Hatake Akira was not lying, the chakra in his body had indeed reached its limit, and Tsunade could feel it at a glance.

"Go back, and remember not to be late next time."

"I won't do that next time, Lady Tsunade."

Hatake Akira was as if he had been pardoned. He had no intention of staying in Tsunade's office for even a second. He used his remaining chakra to communicate with the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had left at Hatake's house, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

"This brat... is there a time when he gets scared?"

Seeing Hatake Akira leaving in a panic, Tsunade smiled, then looked out the window helplessly, "Jiraiya, don't hide..."

"Hahaha... You're still so perceptive, Tsunade. I didn't expect you would find out after all."

Jiraiya, whose hiding place was revealed, opened the window from the outside and jumped into Tsunade's office. The injuries he had just suffered had actually healed almost completely.

This has to do with Jiraiya's own strength, and of course it's also because Tsunade showed mercy.

But even so, Tsunade couldn't help but take a deep look at Jiraiya, and said with some sigh, "Jiraiya, I haven't seen you for a few years, but your strength hasn't fallen behind, you've become stronger..."

"Of course, don't you see who I am? I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!"

Jiraiya is not humble at all. In front of Tsunade, he will always be the funny and last-place guy from his childhood. Of course, his LSP temperament can never be changed.

"Alright, alright, you really haven't changed at all." Tsunade was too lazy to argue with Jiraiya anymore, and after a moment of silence, she still asked with concern, "How have you been these past few years?"

"That's it, nothing much has changed."

Jiraiya had already relaxed, found a chair in the corner of the office, sat down without hesitation and crossed his legs.

"What about you, Tsunade? Have you been satisfied with the past few years?"

"Same as you." Tsunade gradually felt like she was reminiscing with old friends. Her hot temper subsided a lot and she ignored Jiraiya's wandering and obscene gaze.

"That's good. I've been worried about you a lot these past few years." Jiraiya then changed the subject, "By the way, Tsunade, was that little brat just now... Sakumo's child?"

It is no wonder that Jiraiya could call out the identity of Hatake Akira at once, mainly because the hair color of the Hatake clan is too conspicuous in Konoha.

White hair is not uncommon in the ninja world, but silver hair is relatively rare. The Hatake clan is the only one in Konoha that has this.

"I knew it..." Tsunade also sat down, looking somewhat helpless, "His name is Hatake Akira, the eldest son of the Hatake clan. I think you should have seen him too."

"Yes, I have seen it, but Konoha has changed a lot after leaving the village for a few years, so I can't tell it apart." Jiraiya scratched his head and then asked the question that concerned him the most, "What were you doing in the office with Hatake Akira just now?"

"Nothing special, it's just that Hatake Akira is assisting me in my training."

Tsunade actually wanted to hide it, but based on her understanding of Jiraiya, the more she hid it from him, the more Jiraiya would want to get to the bottom of it.

Instead of letting Jiraiya figure out a solution on his own, it would be better for Tsunade to tell him in person, so as to prevent Jiraiya from causing any trouble.

"Him?" Jiraiya was a little unconvinced, "Can a brat help you?"

"Don't underestimate Akira Hatake. He has an ability that is similar to a bloodline limit, but even greater than it. He is almost perfect in terms of assistance. If we only talk about this ability, Akira Hatake should be the strongest in the ninja world!"

"This...is rated so highly?!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath. With Tsunade's arrogance, there were few people who were worthy of such a high evaluation from her.

Even though he still had some doubts, Jiraiya already believed it 90% of the time, and the remaining 10% was just his desire to explore.

"One day when you experience it, you will understand that the evaluation I gave has somewhat underestimated Hatake Akira's ability." Tsunade ended with this sentence and then stopped talking about Hatake Akira. She didn't want to have another competitor who would pester Hatake Akira to assist in his training.

Eating alone is always the best choice.

Even if that is not possible, it would be good to have one less participant.

"Don't you have anything else you want to tell me besides Ming?" Tsunade was good at changing the subject, especially when facing Jiraiya.

"Of course there is!"

Upon hearing this, Zailai decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask Hatake Akira about his specific abilities, and instead began to excitedly tell about the new things he had encountered during his wanderings in the past few years.

Chapter 92: Hatake Sakumo's request.

The next morning, Jiraiya, who had chatted with Tsunade all night, did not show any sign of being depressed.

After saying goodbye to Tsunade, Jiraiya immediately went to the Hokage's office.

"Old man, I'm back!"

Jiraiya also kicked out, and was not affected by Sarutobi Hiruzen's majesty at all. He kicked open the door of the Hokage's office and walked in swaggeringly.

"You all go down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was holding a meeting with some ninjas, looked troubled. He waved his hand to dismiss everyone before looking up at Jiraiya.

"So many years have passed, and you're still the same. When will you become more stable?" Sarutobi Hiruzen loves and hates Jiraiya.

What I like is Jiraiya’s personality, and what I don’t like is also Jiraiya’s personality.

Although it sounds contradictory to say this, this is the character that Jiraiya displays when he is not doing anything serious. He can be said to be an all-round enhanced version of the future Uzumaki Naruto.

Eccentric, but smart.

Careless, but more thoughtful.

He seems confused, but he knows things better than anyone else.

"Old man, we haven't seen each other for several years. Don't be so preachy when we just meet." Jiraiya didn't take it to heart at all. He pulled a chair and sat opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Old man, how are you these days?"

"Heh, I'm really sorry that you missed me after being away from the village for so long. I thought you had forgotten that Konoha still had a teacher like me!"

After a sentence or two of "mutual banter" between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya, the harmonious master-disciple relationship of the past gradually returned, and the topics of conversation gradually became richer.

First, he talked about what he had seen and heard during his travels in the past few years. The content was similar to what he talked about with Tsunade last night.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen was not just a listener. When Jiraiya had almost finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen also chattered to Jiraiya about some big and small things that happened in the village.

"Old man...Sakumo...does he really have no chance?"

"Alas! Sakumo is lucky to be able to survive, but it's impossible for him to become a ninja..." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "Tsunade wrote it very clearly in the medical examination report, there is only a 1% chance of Sakumo's recovery."

Jiraiya remained silent. He could not trust anyone, but he could not not trust Tsunade.

"Old man, I'm going to go see Sakumo."

Jiraiya stood up and spoke in a low voice, without any trace of the excitement he had just shown, and the sadness between his brows was not concealed at all.

He had a very good relationship with Hatake Sakumo, and it was still difficult for him to accept what happened to his old friend.

"Come on, come to my house in the evening and let's have a few drinks."

"Ah."

Jiraiya nodded slightly, then walked out of the Hokage's office without looking back, and after leaving the Hokage building, he went straight to the Konoha Hospital.

……

It has to be said that this world has the extraordinary power of ninjutsu, which makes everything very efficient.

In just one night, the places destroyed by Tsunade and Jiraiya had been repaired to their original state. If the materials used to repair the walls and corridors were not fresh, no one would have known that there had been damage here.

Holding a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket in his hands, Jiraiya pushed open the door of Hatake Sakumo's room.

As soon as he entered and took the first look, he was stunned.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo had a gentle smile on his face, and Ena, the Chunin sitting next to him, was looking at him affectionately.

Crit!

"Sakumo... I thought you would be disheartened, but I didn't expect... you would have a second spring?"

But soon, Jiraiya adjusted himself and his words became somewhat eccentric.

Hatake Sakumo, who was familiar with Jiraiya, didn't feel anything, but Ena, the Chunin, blushed and hurriedly stood up to salute and greet.

"Jiraiya-sama..."

But before she could finish her words, Hatake Sakumo reached out and grabbed Ena Chunin, patting the back of her hand to signal her to go out.

Jiraiya didn't care. After Ena Chunin left in a hurry, he placed the bouquet and fruit basket in his hands on the bedside table in front of the bed.

"When are you two getting married?"

"When I am well again."

"You are wasting my time!" Jiraiya glared at Hatake Sakumo, "I haven't even asked her what her name is yet."

"Ena, Hanai Ena." Hatake Sakumo rolled his eyes, "You don't have to worry about my affairs. But you...if you don't change your temper, there will be no hope in your life."

"Hey, are you the patient or am I the patient?" Jiraiya was a little indignant, but his heavy mood just now was obviously much better.

The fact that Hatake Sakumo can argue with me shows that there is nothing wrong with his mentality, which is a blessing in disguise.

As long as your mentality is not a problem, even if you can't become a ninja again, it's not bad to live the life of an ordinary person.

But Jiraiya didn't know that Hatake Sakumo's physical condition was getting better day by day, and the authenticity of some of the physical examination reports submitted by Tsunade could be ignored.

"Oh, I just can't lift the sword anymore, otherwise I would have to have a good fight with you."

"It seems that you really have a good attitude. I'm relieved now..." Jiraiya quickly returned to the topic, "You know, some of the old buddies back then, only a few of us are left."

After hearing what Jiraiya said, Hatake Sakumo fell silent, nodded and said nothing more.

"Well, I won't ask you about the reason. You have your reasons for doing this. After all, you are Sakumo!" Jiraiya took out an orange from the fruit basket. "Want to eat? I'll peel one for you."

"Eat, why not!" Hatake Sakumo was blunt, "I still remember you owe me a few drinks, this will be the interest on your debt."

"Hey, you're a lot more cheerful now. You weren't so direct before."

Jiraiya lowered his head and concentrated on peeling the orange, talking about some changes in Hatake Sakumo, but then changed the subject.

"Sakumo, if you need me, just tell me. I will do my best within my ability."

"There is something I need your help with."

"...Don't you think I'm just joking to make you happy?"
