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

Chapter 115 [Killer Bomb]! (Third update, 10,000 words, please vote!)

"Wait, are these Iwagakure ninja's brains stuffed with bombs?"

Nara Rinka raised his right hand and waved it back and forth in front of him, using the wind from his palm to drive away the approaching wood chips and dust.

Just now.

He used the unique "shadow transformation" ability of the Shadow Clone to dodge the self-destructing attack of the exploding tags in the firelight.

But then I received a notification that the other party had committed suicide.

Nara Rinka originally intended to capture Huoguang alive as well.

We should at least try to extract some secret techniques of Iwagakure or information about Iwagakure from them.

He is a Jonin in the Iwagakure Explosives Squad.

Huoguang must possess a great deal of secret techniques and intelligence.

However, Nara Rinkei did not expect that his opponent would be so fierce.

If they disagree, they'll just self-destruct.

The people in Nara were almost numb.

He looked around and saw only fire and fragments everywhere; not a single intact part could be seen.

After searching without success...

Nara Rinka sighed and immediately deactivated the Shadow Clone Technique, his figure disappearing from the spot.

He had no intention of obediently walking back.

It's simplest and easiest to just "die" back.

Almost at the same time.

Nara Rinka received the information transmitted back by the [Shadow Clone], and felt somewhat regretful.

A perfectly good Jonin-level enemy, yet I only managed to obtain a [Ninja Scroll] once...

What a waste of resources!

If only we could get a few more prisoners like Yekura, how wonderful that would be?

Nara Rinkasa composed himself and looked at the still unconscious Explosion Release ninja.

They successfully captured the Iwagakure Explosives Squad's kekkei genkai Jonin.

They also killed a total of seven demolition squad ninjas, including one Jonin.

For the Nara team, this was definitely a significant achievement.

However, correspondingly.

Nara Rinkazu will no longer be able to use the hunting as research material for his own purposes this time.

Every bloodline limit ability is extremely precious.

After learning that Nara Rinka and his men had captured Gari alive, the village would definitely not let this Explosion Release ninja go easily.

"It seems the only option is to collaborate with the village on this research..."

Nara Rinka looked at Uchiha Shisui.

"Shisui, send news of our attack by Iwagakure's demolition team to the front lines and the village."

Uchiha Shisui still remembered Nara Rinka's words: "A shadow is more convenient than a crow."

In the end, he still had to rely on his crows to deliver the message...

Uchiha Shisui diligently wrote down the intelligence report, then summoned two crows and tied the intelligence scrolls to their slender legs.

With a soft "thump".

A crow returned directly to Konoha.

Meanwhile, the other crow flew towards the front-line base carrying an intelligence scroll.

While Uchiha Shisui was transmitting information.

Shizune and the medical ninjas accompanying her also collected and disposed of the bodies of the Iwagakure ninjas who had died in the recent battle.

The corpses of ninjas are also a considerable "treasure trove".

While medical ninjas are not adept at analyzing the information remaining in corpses, they are able to extend the preservation time of the bodies and bring them back to the village for further research.

Nara Rinka paid no attention to the movements of the medical ninjas; he kept his eyes on Uchiha Shisui.

"Shisui, can you use illusion magic to extract information about the enemy?"

"If it's just simple intelligence, it should be fine."

Uchiha Shisui nodded in response.

"But if the intelligence is hidden too deeply, or if the enemy's will to resist is too strong, I don't have any good solutions."

"After all, I'm not a specialist in intelligence gathering, and I can't compare to the mountain clan when it comes to digging for intelligence."

"It's okay, as long as it works."

Nara Rinka pointed to the unconscious Kari.

"Hey, that Explosion Release ninja, go see if you can use genjutsu to extract the Explosion Release nature chakra from him and figure out how to condense and extract it."

Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth.

Captain, could you please listen carefully to what I just said?

I really can't uncover such deep secrets as the condensation and extraction of Explosion Release nature chakra!

Nara Rinka glanced lightly at Uchiha Shisui.

"Is there a problem, Shizuku?"

"No... I'll act immediately."

Uchiha Shisui remained silent for a moment, then nodded and obeyed his captain's order.

I just don't know if it's just my imagination.

After this battle, Uchiha Shisui felt that his captain seemed to have become more inclined to order him around...

In fact, Uchiha Shisui's feelings were not an illusion.

Nara Rinkachi has indeed made up his mind to make good use of Uchiha Shisui as a tool!

Uchiha Shisui doesn't work hard.

How could he, as the team leader, slack off?

The key point is that Uchiha Shisui's own strength level was also quite sufficient.

Compared to the other two team members.

Although Hyuga Rei is a member of the main family, her current level is at best that of a "Special Jonin".

This "special" status was only achieved through her eye-rolling!

In terms of his own abilities, Hyuga Rei's strength level is only at the Chunin level.

As for muting it...

Then there's no need to say more.

In comparison.

Uchiha Shisui was a quintessential "Uchiha Jonin," possessing a three-tomoe Sharingan and mastery of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. He was also a good young man who believed in the Will of Fire.

It would be a waste of human resources for Nara Rangsei not to make full use of such a useful tool!

In order to be lazy—oh no, I mean.

In order for Uchiha Shisui to grow up as quickly as possible and become a capable elite ninja.

Nara Rinka was forced to slack off and delegate all the tasks and chores to the other party.

"ah--"

Nara Rinka stretched out a big yawn.

The Konoha ninja nearby, understanding the unspoken message, asked, "Sir, would you like to rest for a while?"

A ninja's prestige is earned through battle.

Nara Rinka's performance in the battle was witnessed by all the Konoha ninja present.

If the relationship between these frontline ninjas and Nara Rinkei was only at the level of "familiarity" when they first met in the morning, then...

So now, these Konoha ninjas have genuine "respect" for them!

This powerful ninja, after a fierce battle, wanted to rest for a while...

Isn't this perfectly reasonable?

"No, let's keep going."

Nara Rinka glanced at the other person, outwardly politely declining their offer, but in reality...

Shadow Transformation Technique!

A huge, jet-black shadow deer emerged from the shadows beneath Nara Rinka's feet, carrying him on its back like a domesticated giant antler, and slowly propelled him forward.

Upon seeing this scene, the Konoha ninjas all thought the same thing.

"As expected of a man from the Nara family!"

Perched on the back of the Shadow Deer, Nara Ranke silently summoned the panel to check the two [Ninja Scrolls] he had just acquired.

He completed both B-level missions triggered by the demolition squad's attack.

These two B-grade scrolls, one from Firelight and the other from Hunting.

After weighing the pros and cons, Nara Rinka chose to start with the scroll that was lit up with fire.

"The elite ninjas of Iwagakure, though they don't have bloodline limits, have joined the Explosion Release squad... they should be able to produce some good ones, right?"

A pop-up window displays the information log for the activation of the [Ninja Scroll].

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Technique: Earth Release: Rock Clone]

[Spell Description: An alternative form of physical clone developed based on the Shadow Clone Technique]

【Technique Effects: 1. Using rocks as a medium, earth-type chakra is used to create a clone with physical properties, which has higher hardness and less chakra consumption than the regular 【Shadow Clone】.

2. [Rock Clone] allows the user to use all Earth Release techniques they possess.

[Skill Evaluation: He and I are about the same age, and his element is only Earth]

"Eek! Alright! Another clone ninjutsu..."

Nara Rinka looked at the [Rock Clone] on the panel and really didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

Possessing the [Shadow Transformation Technique] and the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique], conventional clone ninjutsu is basically useless against him.

Even though [Rock Clone] is a high-level ninjutsu involving Earth Release nature transformation.

The problem is that Nara Rinka is not a ninja specializing in Earth Release techniques!

"Well, at least it's a B-rank spell."

"It's not entirely useless, for example, well, for example..."

"Wouldn't it be simpler to use the [Rock Clone] technique to perform the fusion experiment of special nature chakra from bloodline limits?"

Nara Rinka tried to comfort her wounded heart.

"They've used so much padding material, the quality should be good by now!"

Looking at the last B-rank [Ninja Scroll] on the panel, Nara Rinka immediately activated it.

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Technique: Explosion Release: Killer Bomb]

[Technique Description: A kekkei genkai ability of the escape technique type; its explosive power will destroy everything in its path]

[Technique Effect: Transforms one's own chakra into the "Explosion" nature through nature transformation, and injects the "Explosion" nature chakra into the corresponding substance. Once a target touches that location, the "Explosion Release" chakra will be directly detonated, producing a violent explosion;]

The caster can also detonate the "killer bomb" remotely, causing a sudden and unexpected explosion.

[Spell Evaluation: The Killer Queen has already touched this spot... Press!]

"Huh? The Killer Queen?!"

Nara Rinka's eyes lit up immediately as he looked at the [Explosion Release: Killer Bomb] on the panel with delight.

Hunt's [Ninja Scroll] unlocks the Bloodline Limit ability.

Nara was not at all surprised by this.

However, even among those with the same bloodline limit ability, there are still differences between them.

If you find something like "Landmine Fist," "Landmine Leg," or "Self-Destruction Mine" in Hunt's [Ninja Scrolls].

Although Nara Rinka doesn't like it, he'll still hold his nose and continue his research.

But [Explosion Release: Killer Bomb]

Just by looking at its effects, Nara Rinka knew that this kind of ninjutsu was perfect for a ninja like himself who sought peace and tranquility.

"Stop the water!"

Nara Rinka sat up straight on the Shadow Deer and called out to Uchiha Shisui, who was not far away.

"Did you find anything?"

Uchiha Shisui put down the hunting weapon he was holding and instantly appeared beside Nara Rinka.

I secretly glanced at the shadowy deer beneath Nara Rinka.

Uchiha Shisui coughed lightly.

"Nothing significant was discovered; we only managed to extract some basic information."

"Explosion Release is created by combining the dual chakra properties of fire and earth."

【Rock Clone】, a clone technique used by the Third Tsuchikage, will not be explained in detail here.

Let's talk about [Explosion Release].

In the manga, the bloodline limit of [Explosion Release] is confirmed without a doubt.

There are two people who specifically possess the [Explosion Release] technique, or rather, who have been given the title of [Explosion Release].

狩。

Deidara. (Hanzo refers to him as "Explosion Release Kid")

Both of them were ninjas from Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

In the manga, it is currently unknown how many types of chakra, and what kind of chakra, are fused into the [Explosion Release] bloodline limit.

But I think there should only be two.

Because the three types are Bloodline Elimination: Dust Release...

Water, fire, wind, earth, thunder.

Considering the faction affiliation of the Iwagakure ninjas (?).

The ninjas of Iwagakure are primarily skilled in Earth Release ninjutsu.

Therefore, the first attribute of [Explosion Release] was decided to be "Earth".

"Earth + Fire" has another bloodline limit in the original work called "Lava Release".

"Earth + Water" is the Yamato version of "Wood Release".

"Earth + Wind" and "Earth + Thunder" are unknown combinations.

Actually, setting [Explosion Release] as "Earth + Lightning" here is not impossible.

But since they are all secondary settings.

The author will definitely choose the option that is more beneficial to the book.

There is also a little bit of circumstantial evidence.

In The Will of Fire, Kari's bloodline limit is Steel Release.

As the saying goes, "forged in fire," and that's how the fire came about.

However, this is the case.

The combination of "Earth + Fire" gave birth to two bloodline limits: Lava Release and Explosion Release.

Note that it is a "secondary setting".
