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

Chapter 144 [Ninja Scroll] Triple!

"Mute".

Nara Rinka released the Shadow Hanging Technique, and his dark hand left the medic's body.

"Although Tsunade established three principles for medical ninjas, one of which states that medical ninjas should never stand on the front line of battle."

"But aside from medical ninjutsu, your other skills are far too weak..."

"Waaah—"

Shizune lowered her head in shame and let out a mournful cry like a wounded cub.

"I didn't want it to be like this either—"

"No, no, no, Mitsune, you've misunderstood me. I'm not blaming you."

Nara Lan Gui waved her hands repeatedly to appease the other party.

"What I mean is, have you ever thought about learning other types of ninjutsu to enhance your abilities?"

"Huh?"

Shizune, her face flushed, raised her head and tilted it in confusion.

"Captain, you mean...?"

"As the team captain, I can't just ignore my team members' weaknesses, can I?"

Nara Rankei shrugged and explained earnestly.

"Look at Hinata, I always say that her family has gone down the wrong path, wasting such a good bloodline limit as the Byakugan."

The captain has the biggest fist, and the captain is right.

Hinata Rei, with his white eyes wide open, didn't want to say anything.

"So, besides medical ninjutsu, is there any other ninjutsu you'd like to learn?"

Nara Lan Gui paused halfway through his speech, then added a self-reflection.

No, I'm wrong.

"Shizune, have you tested your own chakra attributes?"

To become a Chunin, and a medical Chunin at that, Shizune must be aware of the nature of chakra.

"no."

Silent shook her head and said.

"My talent isn't that great."

"Learning medical ninjutsu has consumed most of my time, leaving me no free time to learn other ninjutsu."

Nara Ranka followed up, "Do you have any thoughts about learning other types of ninjutsu?"

Shizune glanced at Nara Rinka, said nothing, but nodded very slightly.

"That's good. When we get back to camp, we'll see if the logistics department has any chakra test strips. If they do, we'll get them to test your chakra attributes."

Nara Rinka's gaze shifted to Uchiha Shisui—well, there's not much to say about this one—and then to Hyuga Rei beside him.

"Hinata, your question—"

"Remote attack methods."

Hinata Rei answered first.

"Furthermore, I haven't tested the nature of chakra."

As ninjas, possessing chakra, the Hyuga clan naturally possesses the aptitude to use ninjutsu.

However, the reason why the vast majority of Hyuga ninjas do not learn elemental ninjutsu is...

The main reason is simply because it's "unnecessary"!

For the Hyuga clan, who possess the Byakugan and are proficient in Gentle Fist.

No matter what kind of transformation the opponent uses, you can see through the spell's structure at a glance and shatter its form with a single punch...

The Hyuga clan, just based on their established character design, is truly powerful!

"In my opinion, the ninjutsu most suitable for you, Hyuga, is like this."

Nara Rinka raised his index finger, gathering a ball of Yin Release energy at his fingertip. The [Spiral Shadow Piercing Bullet] shot out instantly, piercing a leaf a hundred paces away with perfect accuracy.

"Unmarked, instant cast, ranged, extremely fast."

Hinata Rei nodded earnestly, looking at the captain expectantly.

"Unfortunately, although the Shadow Piercing Bullet is a ninjutsu I created myself, it is a technique developed based on a clan secret technique. I cannot teach it to you without the clan's consent."

Nara Rinka said with some regret.

"So, just like with Shizune, let's wait until we've tested the specific nature of your chakra before we consider how to improve your abilities."

Hinata Rei nodded silently.

In a small team, the captain and team members are, frankly speaking, just work colleagues.

It is the captain's duty not to teach his teammates ninjutsu.

The captain's willingness to teach the team members ninjutsu is a matter of goodwill.

The captain's performance has exceeded Hinata Rei's expectations.

"Even though it's just a team formed occasionally, the atmosphere inside is more comfortable than that of a strictly rule-bound family..."

Hinata Rei's attention wandered slightly.

Nara Rinka didn't notice this; he simply looked at Uchiha Shisui again.

"Shisui, there's nothing more I need to instruct you on."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui, who had been looking forward to this for so long, immediately frowned.

Captain, this isn't how you treat people differently...

"Fire Release, swordsmanship, Body Flicker Technique, special ninjutsu, and genjutsu that I haven't personally experienced yet."

Nara Rinka patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder.

"Isn't that already pretty impressive?"

In fact, the best way for the Uchiha clan to improve their strength is none other than their eyes.

However, Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan had already been upgraded to the three-tomoe level.

Above that is the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He wants to upgrade his three-tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It is necessary to evoke extremely strong negative emotions in Uchiha Shisui.

If Nara Rinka were to instruct Uchiha Shisui to focus on developing the Sharingan, it would feel strangely like he was planting his own flag on Uchiha's back...

The shadow creature flew over to Nara and the other three, carrying them back to their camp.

Surprisingly, the logistics department happened to have a stockpile of chakra test strips.

Although the quantity was small, it was still enough to supply Hyuga Rei and Shizune with their own chakra properties for testing.

After obtaining two chakra test strips, the four returned to their tent.

After some testing.

The nature of Shizune's chakra is "water".

Hyuga Rei's chakra nature is "lightning and earth".

As for Uchiha Shisui, his known chakra nature is "fire".

"As for water-style ninjutsu, I happen to have a C-rank water-style ninjutsu here."

Nara looked at Shizune.

"It wasn't a family reward, but something I obtained through other means."

"A water-style ninjutsu that aids movement, not too difficult to learn, and consumes little chakra. What do you think, Shizune?"

"The captain is willing to teach me ninjutsu."

"Silence said very seriously."

"I'm so grateful, how could I possibly be critical?"

"Please wait a moment. I don't have that ninjutsu scroll with me. I'll write one for you later."

The C-rank Water Release technique that Nara Rinkazu was referring to was not [Mizuame Nagahara] or [Water Prison Technique], but rather a C-rank technique called [Mizugami Giri] that he had purchased from Mrs. Neko.

By concentrating water-style chakra in his feet, he gains the ability to glide quickly, even on the ground, and can also attack enemies by kicking out blade-like streams of water from his feet.

It can be considered a C-rank ninjutsu that allows for both advance and retreat with a clear strategy.

The most crucial point is that the [Water Slash] does not require maintaining hand seals for extended periods during its use.

This was also the key reason why Nara Rangkei bought it in the first place.

However, due to the nature of his own ability system, Nara Rinkei has never had the opportunity to use the [Water Cutter] after obtaining it.

Now that the professor has given it a silent setting, it's a good use of its resources.

Nara Rinka turns to look at Hinata Rei.

"Hyuga, you know I know Earth Release ninjutsu."

Nara Lan Gui calmly said.

"But you might not know that I know a lot of Earth Release ninjutsu... a little over a billion."

"What type of earth-escape technique do you want to learn?"

Hinata Rei succinctly stated, "Low power consumption, long range."

The conditions for "unmarked" and "instant" are far too demanding.

Hyuga Rei didn't think the captain could come up with a similar Earth Release ninjutsu.

"A ranged attack using Earth Escape technique?"

Nara Rinka touched his chin, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Hyuga, and everyone else, how's your learning of the [Shadow Clone Technique] taught by the Third Hokage coming along?"

Shizune confessed, "It's too difficult, I didn't learn it."

Hyuga Rei shook his head. "Insufficient chakra."

"Well, I've already learned it."

Uchiha Shisui said somewhat hesitantly.

"To be honest, this ninjutsu is pretty powerful, and I happen to be very good at throwing ninja tools..."

"Um."

Nara nods.

"Chakra levels are indeed a problem..."

"Hmm, Hyuga, actually, I also have a low-level Earth Release ninjutsu for ranged attacks, but its effect... isn't very aesthetically pleasing."

Hinata Rei frowned. "Aesthetically pleasing?"

Nara Rinka didn't explain much, but silently formed hand seals, gathering Earth Release chakra at the pressure points in his mouth.

"HE-TUI!"

Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique!

Nara Rinka spat out a small pebble, which made a rather shallow crater in the ground.

"..."

Hinata Rei remained silent.

"Captain, I'm sorry..."

"Well, no need to apologize, it's just that this ninjutsu is a bit unseemly to use."

Nara Rinkaku said this on the surface.

Actually, deep down he still wanted to see Hinata Retsu spitting pebbles.

Nara Lankei presented a pre-prepared plan.

"While the other Earth Release ninjutsu can achieve long-range attack effects, they also consume a lot of chakra, which is not suitable for your current situation."

Nara Rinka politely formed hand seals, creating two shadow clones.

"I have a space-time summoning ninjutsu here specifically for storing ninja tools, [Summoning Technique: Lightning Sword Transformation]."

"Not just you, Shisui can also learn from this; it's very useful."

The three team members gathered around the two shadow clones, watching him write ninjutsu scrolls.

Nara Rinka took this opportunity to examine the three [Ninja Scrolls] he had just acquired.

"Although, Mickey, your reel is really suitable for use as a tool pad..."

Nara Rinka calls out to the control panel, and the first thing to do is turn on the silent C-grade scroll.

[Opening...]

[This C-rank ninja scroll contains: miscellaneous items]

[Grade C Miscellaneous Material: Paralytic Toxin]

【…】

"Alright, no need to watch anymore. It really was just a 'padding' item."

Nara Rinka decisively skipped the contents of the silent reel and instead set her sights on another C-grade reel.

"Hyuga, you're stronger than Shizune, and you're a genius beauty from the Hyuga main family...you're bound to produce something good, right?"

Taking advantage of the lingering effect of the padding knife.

Nara Rinka directly unlocked Hinata Rei's secret scroll.

[Opening...]

[This C-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

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

[Technique Description: The Hyuga clan's secret high-speed palm strike, a powerful air cannon unleashed through combined force]

[Skill Effect: The [Eight Trigrams Empty Palm] can release a vacuum shockwave containing the power of a soft fist. Simultaneously releasing two [Eight Trigrams Empty Palms] results in the [Eight Trigrams Empty Wall Palm], which is even more powerful.]

[Technique Rating: Left and right horizontal arm strikes, how much damage can two fists really do?]

"..."

Nara Rinkaku is speechless right now.

The scroll looks like it's open, but then again, it doesn't seem so...

Its main selling point is a useless ability.

"We've already had to use two stabs as bait; our luck can't stay this bad all day, can it?"

Nara Rinka shifted his attention to the last B-rank [Ninja Scroll].

"Shisui, you absolutely have to ship the goods!"

Nara Rinkazu's mind stirred slightly, and he began to unroll the last scroll.

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

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

[Spell Description: The soaring fiery dragon devours its enemies with flaming fangs! The roar of the fire dragon that burns the sky!]

[Technique Effect: Fire Release chakra, after undergoing nature transformation, is compressed into a flame dragon form through shape transformation. Skillfully controlling the flame dragon to attack the enemy, with high proficiency, several flame dragons can be released in succession, possessing extremely high combustion temperature.]

[Spell Evaluation: Dragon's Roar! Awooo—]

Nara Rinkachi roared inwardly, feeling like an unlucky person.

"Ugh—"

Neither the manga nor the official guidebooks mention the nature of Shizune's chakra.

Considering her medical ninjutsu, she must possess "yang" energy;

In the "Book of Soldiers" setting, Shizune's "illusion" has 8 points, which should be considered as proof that she possesses the nature of "yin".

Additionally, according to the setting of "The Book of Fighting," Shizune possesses a B-rank ninjutsu called "Poison Mist," which involves transforming chakra into a special chemical substance and exhaling it from her mouth, which then reacts with the air to form a highly toxic mist...

Referring to the last point, the nature of Shizune's chakra is set to "water".

Note that this is a second assumption.

-

【Water Release: Water Cutter】 is a water-style ninjutsu from the movie "Naruto's Death".

There will be a third update tonight.

The author voluntarily added extra chapters.
