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

Chapter 141 Your ninjutsu is not bad, now it's mine!

The rock and mud projectile attacks created by the Earth Dragon Bullet Technique gradually subsided.

Onoki's shadow clone sensed the last bit of chakra remaining in its body and stopped releasing ninjutsu.

Nara Rinka controls the [Shadow Creature], which is also hovering in mid-air, looking down at the Third Tsuchikage below.

Onoki remained calm. "Black Beast, we will meet again."

"If you use that nickname again, I'll spread your old turtle moniker across the battlefield."

A smile of respect for the elderly and love for the young appeared on Nara Rinka's face.

"..."

Onoki glared hatefully at Nara Rangsuke.

Bang!

Without uttering a single word, the old man exploded into a cloud of smoke and disappeared into the air.

The last enemy disappeared.

Nara Rinka's smile gradually faded as he began to recall the details of the sudden battle that had taken place that day.

"It seems like an A-rank mission was completed, almost crippling the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure and forcing the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure to flee in terror..."

"But in reality, I was not able to gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation."

By combining techniques such as [Spiral Shadow Projectile] and [Dark Travel Technique], Nara Ranke achieved considerable success in the battle.

In fact, if it weren't for the Four-Tails' rampage, Nara Rinka would have almost killed Onoki directly.

But battles don't allow for "what ifs".

【Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon】is currently Nara Rinka's most powerful single-target attack.

Surprisingly, they were unable to break through Onoki's "Tsuchi-do-no-kami" and later, Hikari's "Gangri-shiki-jutsu".

The powerful defensive capabilities of Earth Release are one thing.

Nara Rinka's own attack power is relatively weak, which is another matter.

Of course, this "weakness" is only relative.

Keep in mind that even the legendary God of Shinobi could be killed with a single kunai. (If anyone believes that.)

For an ordinary ninja, Nara Rinka's attack damage is absolutely excessive.

However, compared to Onoki and Kyoto's Earth Release techniques, Nara Rinka's attack damage appears weak and insufficient.

on the other hand.

Although Onoki's Dust Release has drawbacks such as high energy consumption, long wind-up time, and difficulty in aiming, its attack damage is arguably the best in the ninja world.

The "Dust Release" technique, with its ability to decompose everything into molecules, is so powerful that anyone who touches it is practically doomed!

In terms of attack effectiveness alone.

The "Dust Release" of the two generations of Tsuchikage is difficult for even a Six Paths level deity to match.

"Bloodline elimination, huh..."

Nara Rinka knew perfectly well that Dust Release was a bloodline limit formed by the fusion of wind, earth, and fire elemental transformations.

It's normal that the power of his current attack methods is not comparable to Dust Escape.

However, it is undeniable that this is still a "shortcoming".

Nara Rinka's current strength is definitely enough to qualify him as a Kage.

Combined with the flight ability granted by the [Shadow Transformation Technique] and the various unsigned, instant-fire black bullets, most Kage-level powerhouses would not want to face an opponent like him.

However, Nara still lacks a positive and decisive approach.

Just as Dust Release was to Onoki, just as the Eight Gates were to Might Guy.

"I don't want to end up like Master Nara, who's like Master Kadoya..."

Nara Ranke piloted the [Shadow Creature], slowly flying towards the direction of Konoha's headquarters.

"They can't even scrape off the bloody skin; it's not just shameful, it's downright...shameful!"

Nara Rinkazu fell into deep thought.

To enhance the power and effectiveness of ninjutsu.

The method is actually very simple.

It's simply about enhancing the quality and quantity of chakra.

Nara Rinko doesn't yet have a good solution to the chakra issue, unless he chooses to stop being human...

The problem is that even if Nara Rinka really stopped being human, it would still be quite difficult to obtain a chakra level comparable to "Little Hashirama" in a short period of time.

And the issue of chakra...

Nara Ranka surveyed his many abilities, his gaze finally settling on four techniques: Shadow Transformation, Scorch Release, Explosion Release, and Immortal Guidance Technique.

"Shadow Gundam, Bloodline Limit, Sage Art Energy..."

"To be a ninja is to climb to the top step by step, one step at a time!"

Suppressing his restless emotions, Nara Rinka turned to look at the two [Ninja Scrolls] he had just acquired.

The four tails went berserk, Old Purple was taken offline, and the opponent's A-rank scroll was obtained directly;

Onoki was stubborn and couldn't completely defeat his opponent, but he did manage to speedrun and obtain a B-rank scroll.

After careful consideration, Nara Rinka decided to open Onoki's B-rank [Ninja Scroll] first.

"The Third Tsuchikage, please don't give me some ordinary Earth Release ninjutsu!"

Nara Rinka took a deep breath.

"Dust Release! Even a derivative ninjutsu of Dust Release will do!"

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Technique: Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique]

[Spell Description: Free yourself from the shackles of gravity and let your body soar through the sky!]

[Technique Effect: By using one's own Earth Release chakra, the gravity on the target is reduced. In addition to making the object lighter, it also reduces one's own gravity, increasing one's movement speed.]

If the human body were made lighter than the atmosphere, it could fly directly into the air.

[Skill Evaluation: Who can't fly?]

"Um, um..."

Looking at the [Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique] on the panel, Nara Ranka blinked.

"Okay!"

"It is indeed a B-rank ninjutsu of exceptionally high quality."

"From now on, not only can shadow creatures fly, but I can fly too!"

Earth Release ninjutsu is easy to perform and has a wide range of materials available.

Most Earth Release ninjutsu involves "shape transformation". (In fact, most elemental ninjutsu are products of shape transformation.)

This is the same clod of earth and large clods of earth that Nara Rangkei had been frequently complaining about.

Earth Release ninjutsu involving advanced nature transformations is extremely rare.

As far as Nara Ranke knows, the "Light and Heavy Rock Technique/Heavy Rock Technique" mastered by Onoki is a very rare earth-style ninjutsu that involves profound nature transformation.

Because these two ninjutsu touch upon the special and powerful physical concept of "gravity".

Nara Rinka had no idea how the two Tsuchikage had connected "Earth Release" with "gravity".

However, this did not diminish his delight at acquiring the [Light and Heavy Rock Technique].

"The Light-Weight Rock Technique and the Heavy-Weight Rock Technique are actually two opposite ninjutsu, one reduces gravity and the other increases gravity."

Nara Rinka stroked his chin.

"As for the Super Light Heavy Rock Technique and the Super Heavy Rock Technique, they are roughly like the difference between the Vacuum Ball and the Vacuum Great Ball, that is, the difference in the amount of chakra invested..."

"In short, with the [Light and Heavy Rock Technique], we can now explore another area: gravity. If used properly, this concept can be incredibly powerful!"

With the help of the "Light and Heavy Rock Technique" and its lucky charm, Nara Rinka decisively opened the remaining A-grade scroll.

[Opening...]

[This Rank A Ninja Scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank A Bloodline Limit Technique: Lava Release Chakra Mode]

[Technique Description: Bloodline Limit Ninja Taijutsu! Scorching magma fills the entire body!]

[Technique Effect: By using earth and fire chakra simultaneously and in precise proportions, a new "melting" chakra is created.]

Using the "melting" chakra flowing throughout his body, he completely enveloped himself in the scorching heat of Lava Release chakra, burning and melting everything he touched.

[Skill Evaluation: Thorough justice must be implemented!]

"A 'Lava Release Chakra Mode' similar to 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'?"

Nara Rinka glanced at the name of the technique, "[Lava Release Chakra Mode]", and thought he had created another bloodline limit ninjutsu that was temporarily unusable.

However, after seeing the full effects of the [Lava Release Chakra Mode] technique, Nara Rinka felt a surge of surprise.

"No—that's not right!"

"This isn't just a simple Lava Release ninjutsu; it also includes a method for condensing Lava Release chakra!"

After encountering so many ninjas with bloodline limits.

Nara Rankei finally obtained a usable "Bloodline Limit" from the [Ninja Scroll]!

Nara Rinka had already mastered the transformations of fire and earth, and he even used them to master the [Explosion Release] bloodline limit.

But now I have obtained this A-rank technique, the [Lava Release Chakra Mode].

Nara Rinka will soon be able to master the third bloodline limit—[Lava Release]!

"Having been on the battlefield for several months, [Lava Release Chakra Mode] is probably the highest quality technique I've acquired so far!"

Nara was overjoyed.

After carefully reading through the details and key points of the [Lava Release Chakra Mode], I realized that there was still some distance to go before reaching the Konoha headquarters.

Nara Rinka decisively used the summoning talisman on his wrist to directly summon three masks—the Earth Release Mask, the Fire Release Mask, and the Blank Mask.

Then he formed a cross with his hands and summoned two shadow clones on the back of the shadow creature, each holding an earth-style mask and a fire-style mask, and began the fusion of the new nature masks.

Not long after.

A brand new [Nature Mask] appeared between the two [Shadow Clones], without the slightest damage to its appearance.

Nara Rinka picked up the mask, and another message popped up on the panel.

[B-rank ninja tool detected: [Natural Mask - Melt]!]

"It really is the bloodline limit of [Lava Release]!"

Nara Rinka looked at a shadow clone, which slowly nodded under the gaze of the original.

The next moment, this shadow clone began to simultaneously condense fire and earth nature chakra within its body and gather them all on its right fist.

Scalding hot magma appeared on the right forearm of the [Shadow Clone], who aimed at the air in front of him and made a feint punch.

"Lava Release: Great Fireball!"

Ok……

The update is late...

Two updates today, time to take a break.

The issue of an update is under consideration.

All the missed updates have been paid off.

However, considering it's only been a month since it was released...

And the average order value will soon reach the premium line...

Should we continue with 10,000 a day?

I'm working overtime four times a week, so the pressure is quite high.

However, maintaining a daily output of 10,000 words every three nights seems more appropriate.
