Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

"Congratulations, Ming."

"And you, of course, Kai."

Not long after Jiraiya returned to the village, the chunin selection in Konoha Village began, and Hatake Akira and Metkai passed the chunin selection without any doubt.

Beside the bonfire, Namikaze Minato handed the two of them a small gift as a reward for the two disciples.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Thank you Minato-sensei."

The two of them happily took the gift from Namikaze Minato and unpacked the gift box eagerly.

"Teacher...you have spent a lot of money!"

Hatake Akira opened the gift box, and inside lay a thick stack of detonating talismans. Based on the thickness of the detonating talismans, there were almost a thousand detonating talismans in this box.

The value of a thousand detonating talismans is not a small amount.

"As long as you like it." Namikaze Minato smiled softly, "This amount of detonating talismans is really just a drop in the bucket for the technique you just mastered..."

With his own talent and equipment bonus, Hatake Akira has initially mastered the technique of mutually multiplying detonating talismans in this little half month.

The reason why I was able to learn so quickly was actually due to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The principle of the mutually multiplying detonating talisman technique is actually similar to the principle of the Flying Thunder God technique. The only difference is that the sealing techniques used in the two techniques are slightly different.

It's just that from the beginning to the initial mastery, the technique of mutually multiplying the detonating talisman has swallowed up Hatake Akira's too much money.

The detonating talisman requires money to buy!

Hatake Akira often complains about this technique, jokingly saying that only the Senju clan can afford it...

Perhaps for this reason, Namikaze Minato chose to give Hatake Akira a box of detonating charms as a gift for his promotion to Chunin.

"Oh... I regret it!" Hatake Akira said with a bitter look on his face, "It would be great if the technique of detonating shadow clones could be developed..."

It is not unfounded for Hatake Akira to say this. The source of inspiration is the A-level ninjutsu - Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu developed by the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"When you have an idea, just work hard and do it. With your talent, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Namikaze Minato rubbed Hatake Akira's head and cheered him up with a smile.

If Akira Hatake develops the technique of detonating the shadow clone, then the technique of flying thunder god Kunai shadow clone can also be put on the agenda.

In fact, the principle of the detonating shadow clone jutsu is exactly the same as the principle of the shuriken shadow clone jutsu. Both techniques were derived from the multiple shadow clone jutsu developed by the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama.

However, there are still many differences between the three techniques.

First, the art of multiple shadow clones targets people, not objects.

Second, although the shuriken shadow clone technique can be applied directly, the structure of the shuriken is simple, and there are no complicated sealing techniques engraved on it.

Third, the reason why the detonating talisman can explode is because the specific ninjutsu is sealed into the paper through the detonating talisman's technique. Most of its essence still belongs to the category of ninjutsu. If you want to use ninjutsu to copy ninjutsu, it is somewhat difficult. Whimsical.

"You can save it, teacher..." Hatake Akira naturally knew the difficulty, and was somewhat frustrated, "I have to develop it all by myself until the end of the year!"

In response to Hatake Akira's complaint, Namikaze Minato smiled comfortingly, and then looked at Metkai, who was sitting on his right.

"Kai, do you think so about the gift?"

"Wow...Minato-sensei, you really understand me, I'm so touched!" Metkai held a pair of weights in his hands and looked at Namikaze Minato with tears in his eyes, "If my youth is gone without Minato-sensei, , will be incomplete..."

"Haha, this... you just like it."

Regarding Metkai, Namikaze Minato sometimes had a bad temper, and he sometimes couldn't catch up to what Metkai said.

However, as the incident of Namikaze Minato giving gifts passed, the atmosphere in Class 8 gradually became more solemn.

Because Class 8 is about to be disbanded...

This is something that can't be helped. The overall strength of Class 8 is too much now. How high it is can be understood just by looking at the strength on paper.

Let's talk about Namikaze Minato first. After mastering the S-level ninjutsu Wind Release and Rasenshuriken, his overall strength has increased a lot. Now he has Kage level strength, and he is still the best among Kage level.

With just Minato Namikaze standing in front of Team 8, the S-level mission was easily accomplished, but there was no problem in being relatively relaxed.

Kakashi, although he has not yet been promoted to the title, his strength is already comparable to that of an elite jounin. When the three chakra properties change into one, Kakashi will become a shadow-level powerhouse.

Akira Hatake is stronger than Kakashi at this stage, and slightly worse than Namikaze Minato who has mastered the second level of Flying Thunder God.

Although Metkai only specializes in physical arts, he can now open up to four of the eight gates of Dunjia. If he reaches five gates, Hatake Akira will probably be faster.

In general, the current eighth class has one Kage-level warrior, two Jonin warriors, and one elite Chuunin warrior.

With this configuration, what kind of tasks outside the village can hire the eighth class?

Even if they could afford to hire them, it would be a waste of resources. It would be a huge waste of resources for Team 8 and Konoha.

After all, the village cultivates ninjas. In addition to protecting the security of the village and the country, the most basic purpose is to earn commissions for the village.

Obviously after splitting the eighth class, the village's commission income will be higher, so there is no reason not to do it.

"Okay, don't be downcast. From now on, we will still be in the same village, and we can still gather in our free time." Namikaze Minato smiled, trying to liven up the atmosphere, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, let alone Eighteen The rest of the class.

"Minato-sensei, I don't want to be separated from you!"

The most emotional one among them is none other than Metkai, whose trembling voice combined with large tears added a bit of sadness to the already depressing atmosphere.

The same is true for Akira Hatake. If he hadn't wanted to prepare for the upcoming three battles, he wouldn't have asked Minato Namikaze to submit the Chunin Examination Agreement in advance.

Kakashi didn't express much at all, but his expressionless expression didn't mean that Kakashi was calm inside. He was also reluctant to let Namikaze Minato leave like this.

"Okay Kai, although our eighth class is about to become a thing of the past, it also marks that you have grown into independent ninjas. Isn't this what you have always wanted?"

Minato Namikaze patted Metkai on the shoulder, "Growth often comes with costs, and a short separation is just an insignificant episode in the growth process."

"If you can't pass this level, your youth, Kakashi's ninja skills, and Akira's future ambitions will all become empty talk."

“So, please raise a glass with me, let us remember yesterday, respect today, and look forward to tomorrow!”

Some impassioned words lifted the somewhat depressing atmosphere, and as Namikaze Minato raised his glass, the old party atmosphere of Team 8 was slowly returning.

"cheers!"

After clinking glasses enthusiastically, the four of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp, except that the glasses of Akira Hatake and the others were filled with juice.

But even with the juice, Hatake Akira felt tipsy.

Because of this situation, Hatake Akira became drunk...
