I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 102 The Secret Teachings of Hyuga! (Third update, 10,000 words)

Nara Rinka removes the Shadow Hanging Technique.

The dark hand gradually detached from the medical girl's soft body from top to bottom.

Shizune took small, quick steps and returned to Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Rei's side.

Then, feeling uncomfortable, she quietly moved a short distance to the side.

Because of his elder (his uncle, Dan Kato).

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, Shizune did not form a team and become a professional ninja like her classmates.

Under Tsunade's arrangement, she went directly into Konoha's medical department after graduation to continue her in-depth study and learning of medical ninjutsu.

With great difficulty, thanks to his expertise in medical ninjutsu and the reduced difficulty of advancing in ninja ranks during wartime, he was able to achieve his goal.

Shizune became a Chunin.

Just as she was fantasizing about which team she would be assigned to and which ninjas she would fight alongside...

Hyuga Rei, Uchiha Shisui, and Nara Rinka.

The arrival of these three new teammates and the new captain has brought tremendous psychological pressure to the medical girl.

It's not that being silent is an act of self-deprecation.

Rather, it's because she sees things too clearly.

With her skill level and medical expertise, what makes her think she's qualified to be teammates with these three?

Jingyin felt that what she could do now was to improve herself as much as possible and try not to hold her teammates back in subsequent missions.

At least... don't let it get too serious.

"After the recent battle test, I have a general understanding of everyone's skill level."

Nara Rinka looked at his three subordinates who were standing in a neat row in front of him.

"But that was a one-on-one duel. Would you like to practice your teamwork?"

Faced with the squad leader's question, Uchiha Shisui and the other two exchanged glances and nodded silently.

The three knew the team's "flaws".

Although everyone is a Chunin, especially Uchiha Shisui, whose strength is already comparable to that of a Jonin.

But ultimately, this is still a newly formed team.

The team members' coordination was far from sufficient.

Considering the long period of time ahead.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

We will all be partners who share weal and woe and whose interests are aligned.

It is essential to promote and enhance the level of cooperation and understanding among team members.

After half a day of rehearsals and coordination.

Nara Rinka took the initiative to signal the end of the sparring match.

"The routine drills and coordination exercises are almost complete."

Nara Rinka looked at the three panting men in front of her.

"The remaining work will basically need to be done in actual tasks."

"Is anyone free right now? How about we grab a bite to eat together?"

A squad leader is different from a Jonin who leads a class.

Nara Rinka considers his relationship with Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Rei, and Shizune to be more like that of colleagues at work.

Upon hearing the captain's suggestion, Uchiha Shisui nodded and said, "I have plenty of time, so count me in."

"I don't have anything else to do," Shizune replied.

Hinata Rei asked succinctly but incisively, "How will the cost of the dinner be calculated? Divided equally?"

"Let me treat you to our first meal together."

Nara Rinka said very generously.

"Next time, we'll split the cost equally."

The three team members agreed with their captain's words.

"team leader."

Hinata Rei said calmly.

"I have a big appetite, so I'll pay for my own meal."

"Need not."

Nara Lan Gui waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.

"I've seen plenty of ninjas with huge appetites."

"Let's talk about where to eat! What do you guys want to eat?"

Uchiha Shisui: "Grilled fish."

Mute: "Fried rice."

Hinata Rei: "Fried chicken."

fried chicken?

Nara Rinka gave Hinata Rei a strange look.

He never expected that such a cool and aloof girl would have a preference for high-calorie foods like fried chicken.

However, considering what the other party had just said, Nara Rinka put aside her strange feelings.

"In that case..."

Nara Rinka looked around, recalling the Konoha food survey map he had made before.

"Let's go eat ramen, Ichiraku Ramen is the closest."

……

It's not yet the peak dining time.

There weren't many customers at the small Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.

Nara and his three companions successfully secured a table near the dining area.

"Tonkotsu ramen, with a perfectly cooked fried egg," Nara Rinkasu announced his order first.

"Vegetable ramen, please." This came from the polite Uchiha Shisui.

"Brown rice." Shizune is very persistent in her pursuit of rice.

"Captain." Hinata Rei looked at Nara Ranke, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Order whatever you like."

Nara Lan Gui waved his hand, indicating that the other party should go ahead.

"All right……"

Hinata relaxed her brow and decided to reciprocate next time.

"Large bowl of pork miso char siu ramen".

The steaming hot and fragrant ramen was quickly served.

Nara Rinka stirred the noodle soup, buried the egg in the bottom of the soup, and summoned the virtual panel while eating the noodles.

After the recent strength test mission, he obtained three [Ninja Scrolls] from his three subordinates.

Two C-grade documents and one B-grade document.

Nara Rinka habitually weighed the value of the three [Ninja Scrolls], first pulling out Shizune's C-rank scroll, intending to use her as a scapegoat.

[Opening...]

[This C-level scroll includes: Techniques]

[Level C Procedure: Tongue Needle]

[Technique Description: An unexpected needle strike will pierce the opponent in an instant]

[Technique Effect: No hand seals required. Short needles are placed under the base of the tongue beforehand and launched instantly when necessary. The direction of the [Oral-Tongue Needle] is precisely adjusted using chakra released from acupoints in the mouth.]

[Skill Evaluation: Barbed Words]

Looking at the C-level technique [Tongue Needle] on the virtual panel.

Nara Rinka mechanically stirred the noodles in the soup bowl a few times.

"That's it? How can this thing only deserve a C grade?"

Nara's "Golden Bloom" is not some trashy C-rank ninjutsu.

Let's take the "Kissing of the Corpse Demon" as an example.

【Kiss of the Corpse Demon】 can absorb the chakra of others, but it has a “very long” casting time and can only be performed by “mouth to mouth”, making its usage conditions extremely harsh.

Fortunately, the effect of [Ghoul Kiss] is quite powerful.

Nara's laurel wreath is barely acceptable.

For example, there's the legendary "Art of Mercy"—the Great Fireball Technique.

Although both are C-rank techniques, the Great Fireball Technique may not be able to kill people, but it can at least start a fire.

But this [tongue-twisting needle]...

"If I can't throw the hidden weapon with my hands, do I have to spit it out with my mouth?"

Nara Rinka watched as a bowl of ramen slid past him and landed in front of Hinata Rei.

"For example, your Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist technique insists on using your fingers to poke. Why can't you just use a kunai?"

"Is poking dozens or hundreds of acupoints with your finger as damaging as piercing dozens or hundreds of gashes with a kunai?"

Nara Rinka turned her gaze back to her bowl of noodles.

"It's definitely a padding tool!"

With the [Speechless Needle] as a stepping stone, Nara Rinka temporarily skipped Hyuga Rei's C-rank scroll and instead opened Uchiha Shisui's B-rank [Ninja Scroll].

"It absolutely has to be a padding knife!"

[Opening...]

[This Grade B scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Technique: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation]

[Spell Description: Reduces everything to ashes! There is no resistance, no escape!]

[Technique Effect: Forming the Noon Hand Seal, the user transforms fire-type chakra into scorching flames, exhaling a powerful firestorm that turns the surrounding area into an astonishing sea of ​​fire.]

[Spell Evaluation: I have burned myself to ashes, leaving only snow-white ash...]

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!?"

Nara Rinka blinked.

This does indeed appear to be a fire-style ninjutsu produced by the Uchiha clan, although we didn't see Uchiha Shisui use it in the battle just now.

However, the problem is...

Isn't Fire Release a legendary technique of mercy?

Are there any cases where Fire Release techniques have resulted in ninjas being burned to death?

Nara Rinkaku, however, was clear about one thing.

Even Madara Uchiha's [Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation] didn't kill anyone... if it weren't for dozens of Kirigakure ninjas skilled in Water Release working together to create a Water Barrier to block it.

Compared to other fire-style techniques, [Great Fire Annihilation] has another advantage: it's a single-hand seal ninjutsu!

Single-seal ninjutsu is not as good as no-seal ninjutsu.

But it's at least much better than some other flowery hand techniques.

Even so...

"I already have the [Head-Carving Technique], and I can use the [Nature Mask] to unleash Fire Release ninjutsu. I don't need single-seal, wide-range, high-power Fire Release ninjutsu..."

Nara Langui consoled himself.

"A 'fodder'—this B-rank ninja scroll is also a 'fodder'."

Holding onto the last glimmer of hope.

Nara Rinka, who refused to accept his fate, opened the last C-rank [Ninja Scroll].

[Opening...]

[This C-level scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank C Bloodline Limit Technique: Gentle Fist - Eight Trigrams Empty Palm]

[Technique Description: The Hyuga clan's secret high-speed palm strike, using compressed air to strike the enemy]

[Technique Effect: Instantly extracts chakra from one's own arm, compresses and stores it in the meridian system of the arm, and then releases it outward at ultra-high speed through the chakra acupoints in the palm.]

Vacuum projectiles, compressed with powerful force and incorporating the power of a soft fist, possess extremely strong penetrating and destructive power.

[Technique Evaluation: It's just a horizontal arm strike; how much damage can a simple slap do?]

"Gentle Fist?!"

Nara Rinka's eyes lit up; the bad luck he had just felt vanished in the face of this Gentle Fist technique.

"It really is Soft Fist! 【Bagua Empty Palm】!"

As mentioned before, thanks to the human meridian model provided by the Lazy Ghost System, Nara Rinkei theoretically possesses the basic conditions to use Gentle Fist! (Chapter 31)

Unfortunately, Nara Rinka's physical condition was too weak at the time, so he could only focus his energy on developing ninjutsu and could not spare much time to practice taijutsu.

Furthermore, Gentle Fist is a closely guarded secret of the Hyuga clan, making it extremely difficult to acquire.

Unless Nara takes on the Hyuga clan and forcibly takes on Hyuga ninja battle missions...

However, the Byakugan and Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan are natural enemies of the Nara clan's Shadow Techniques, or any substance composed of chakra.

Using the Byakugan, one can detect the chakra composition of offensive ninjutsu;

Gentle Fist disrupts the chakra formula structure that constitutes ninjutsu.

This is the powerful essence of the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist technique!

Although Nara Rangsuke does not possess the "Byakugan" and cannot unleash the full power of the "Gentle Fist".

However, acquiring the "Gentle Fist" technique was still of great help to him.

Nara Langui closed the panel with satisfaction.

Then I saw a full bowl of noodles slide past me.

Nara Rinka glanced to the side and saw Hinata Rei slurping noodles in small sips, a gentle smile on his face.

"It's okay, take your time, no rush."

"team leader."

A soft, silent sound rang in his ears.

"Hinata has already eaten her 18th bowl..."

18 bowls...

Nara Rinka's smile was somewhat stiff.

How did you do that?

He really wanted to eat that much too!

19 bowls, 20 bowls...

Under the secret observation of Nara Rinka, Uchiha Shisui, and Shizune.

Hinata Rei ate until he reached his 29th bowl before finally putting down his chopsticks, completely satisfied.

"call……"

The Nara Lan Gui team wasn't the only ones feeling relieved.

There was also the owner of Ichiro, who was standing behind the counter.

"Now that we've finished eating, let's rest for a while."

The squad leader spoke up.

"Then we'll go to the Hokage Building together to receive the mission."

The fact that Shizune immediately entered the medical department after graduation is a fabrication in this book.

-

The terms "tongue needle" and "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm" mentioned in this chapter are also relevant.

The former is not mentioned in the official guidebook; it's just one of Shizune's moves in the manga.

The latter formula book does not indicate the difficulty level, and the second version is set to level C.

-

Chapter Four might not start until nine o'clock.

(End of this chapter)
