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

Chapter 163 The Real Vegetable—White Zetsu!

Mastering a kekkei genkai of the ninjutsu type, [Boil Release], will enhance your [Ninjutsu] and [Sage] attributes!

A message notification then popped up on the panel.

Nara Rinka only glanced at the messages on the panel before paying no further attention.

"First is [Scorching Release], then [Explosion Release], then [Molten Release], and now [Boiling Release]."

"The number of bloodline limits of the Four Gates Release Technique type is quite explosive in the history of the ninja world."

Nara Rinka quickly recovered from her initial surprise and regained her composure.

Whether it's the difficulty of researching the Escape Technique type Bloodline Limit, or its own specifications and level.

All of these perfectly verify the corresponding level of the Escape Technique-type Bloodline Limit—Rank A!

That is, the standard movie level.

Even without considering the existence of the four bloodline limits such as [Burning Release], Nara Rinka's own strength level has already reached the Kage level!

He has mastered four bloodline limits, including the [Burning Release] technique.

It simply increased the "breadth" of Nara Rinka's own abilities.

It doesn't have a significant impact on the "strength" of his ability level.

"While the power of a kekkei genkai of the 'escape technique' type is formidable and its effects unique, it is not the ultimate goal I pursue!"

Nara Rinka put down the [Boiling Release Mask] in his hand, then clenched his fist, and jet-black chakra surged from his body, slowly covering his fist.

"My ultimate goal is to use my extensive research experience on escape-type bloodline limits to develop my own new bloodline limit, and even a bloodline elimination technique!"

"I don't expect any bloodline elimination in the short term, but I can feel that my first self-created bloodline limit is not far away!"

Nara Rinkei has been pushing forward with experiments that combine Yin Release and Earth Release techniques.

To date, Nara Rinka has been able to use this new type of "bloodline limit" skillfully without interference.

The problem is that Yin Release chakra, which is condensed solely from spiritual energy, is far too unstable.

Nara Rinka has yet to find the most stable technique structure to support the fusion of Yin Release and Earth Release properties.

Once the precise chakra ratio of Yin Release and Earth Release is discovered, and the jutsu structure is stabilized.

That was the time when Nara Rinka created a new type of bloodline limit!

Nara Rinka suppressed his longing and let his many clones advance the experiment on their own, while he himself entered Han's spiritual world to express his gratitude to the Five-Tailed King Mu.

"Your talent is truly remarkable, Nara wins the crown."

The Five-Tailed King accepted the other party's thanks and took the initiative to praise them.

"Of all the ninjas I've ever met, you're the first one who can master Boil Release so quickly."

Nara Rangsuke is indeed quite talented in the area of ​​knowledge acquisition.

However, he was not satisfied with Boiling Escape.

The Five-Tails, Kokuo, may look like a harmless white deer, but in reality, it knows a great deal of top-secret information about the ninja world!

"King Mu, in our ninja world, new properties like Boil Release, which are created by fusing two different chakra properties, are called Kekkei Genkai, or more precisely, Kekkei Genkai of the Escape Technique type."

Nara sat cross-legged with cassia in his arms, humbly seeking instruction.

"However, apart from this kind of escaping technique-type bloodline limit, there are other physical bloodline limits in the ninja world, such as the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya clan, etc."

"Do you know the specific differences between the '遁术' (遁术) type of bloodline limit and the '体质' (体质) type of bloodline limit?"

"Uchiha, Hyuga, Kaguya..."

King Mu of the Five-Tailed Fox pondered for a moment.

"They are all descendants of the Six Realms."

"I have never personally witnessed the Six Paths giving birth to offspring, but I do know one thing: all special abilities are related to chakra."

"The kind of physical bloodline limit you mentioned may also be produced by the fusion of two or even more different chakra natures, but there must be the interference of Yin-Yang Release power in it."

"Yin Dun creates form from nothingness; Yang Dun bestows life upon form."

"Only Yin-Yang Release can grant ninjas special life force abilities."

Upon hearing Go-O's explanation, Nara Rinka nodded slightly.

He had made similar speculations before. (Chapter 134)

The answer from Go-Ou only further confirmed Nara Rinka's own speculation.

Nara Ranka chatted with Go-o Muou for a while before withdrawing his consciousness from Han's world of consciousness and coming out into the outside world.

The extracted mixed snake venom was re-injected into Han's body;

Then restore the [Four Symbols Seal] that just had a crack to its original state.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki returned to the same dazed and confused state he had been in before he arrived.

Nara Rinka shifted his attention from the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure and looked at the white creature on the other side.

By observing the appearance of this white creature, its unusual way of appearing, and the target it possesses.

Nara Rinka has basically determined the other party's identity.

"White Zetsu!"

White Zetsu is the final form of the human victims of the Infinite Tsukuyomi cast by Kaguya Otsutsuki a thousand years ago.

During the long period of transformation.

Originally human, the "White Zetsu" has been reduced to a pale, inhuman, and ghostly humanoid form.

According to the intelligence gathered by Nara Rinka.

The reason why White Zetsu is able to possess the "Wood Release" ability.

The reason was actually because Madara Uchiha had infiltrated Hashirama Senju's cells into the Gedo Mazo.

That's right.

The White Zetsu after the first round of modifications were actually also "victims" of Hashirama's cells. (Beneficiaries?)

Moreover, compared to the fake vegetative state of Hashirama Senju.

White Zetsu is the real vegetative state patient!

The quality of white jesters varies.

Some White Zetsu can only be used as surveillance grunts.

However, some White Zetsu can summon wooden puppets on their own to intercept the current Five Kage and their tens of thousands of ninja allied forces.

Nara Rinka's Shadow Manipulation Technique is too subtle in its attacks.

Before this White Zetsu could even display its power, its consciousness was sealed, and it became a prisoner.

Nara Rinka is currently unable to confirm the overall strength of the White Zetsu he captured.

But one thing is certain.

The other party is definitely not that special White Zetsu named "Afei".

"Considering that this White Zetsu has the ability to control, or rather, interfere with, the A-rank reanimated version of Uchiha Kagami, its overall strength should be quite formidable, right?"

Nara Rinko stroked his chin, considering whether he should first review the other party's mission before studying this "Wood Release experimental material".

"Wood Release... Damn it!"

Nara Langui acted immediately.

Considering the White Zetsu's special abilities, they can move and hide freely within the earth.

"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"

Nara Rinkazu first sank a clearing in the forest, creating a deep, hollow space.

Then he activated [Lacquer Eyes] and unleashed [Shadow Gathering Technique].

Long, thin, shadowy tentacles emerged from the shadows of Nara Rinka, dragging White Zetsu's limbs, binding it tightly, and suspending it above the newly dug pit in the ground.

"Hopefully, this White Zetsu will use its brain and not get itself smashed to pieces, leaving only its head..."

Nara Rinkazu's mind stirred slightly, and he ended the [Shadow Manipulation Technique].

The White Zetsu's consciousness broke free from the seal, and it suddenly opened its eyes to survey its surroundings.

"Huh? Where's Uchiha Kagami?"

Bai Jue braced himself with his arms, only to find that the black ropes binding him were unexpectedly strong.

"What happened?"

"As expected, they are not simple at all..."

Nara Ranka stroked his chin as he watched the White Zetsu mutter to itself.

"This plant-based human tool should be quite useful..."

"Who are you……"

White Zetsu noticed the stranger's presence, frowned, and said uncertainly.

"Nara Langui?"

"Um?"

Nara raised an eyebrow.

"You still know me? Oh right, Uchiha Kagami also knows of my existence... You are indeed very useful."

"Yes, yes, Lord Madara always praises us for being capable."

White Zetsu silently activated his ability, but on the surface, he was stalling for time.

"We... can absorb chakra!"

The Yin Release chakra that formed the black shadow was instantly absorbed into White Zetsu's body, and the shadow receded into nothingness.

White Zetsu then plummeted into the pit below, even having the energy to wave goodbye to Nara Rinka.

"Goodbye, little genius of the Nara family!"

[A Rank B Ninja Battle Mission has been detected!]

[Rank B Mission: White Zetsu]

[Mission Objective: Defeat/Kill White Zetsu]

[Mission Reward: One Rank B Ninja Scroll]

"As expected, a mission was triggered, and it's a B-rank one at that..."

Nara Rinka's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he appeared, he was already at the bottom of the pit below.

The spider mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique was faintly visible in the darkness.

"I really am smart!"

Bai looked at the emptiness above his head with despair, thinking to himself with a sense of satisfaction.

"When I go back this time, Lord Madara will surely praise me, won't he?"

Just then, a calm voice came from below.

"Leaf Whirlwind".

boom!

Nara Rinka delivered a simple, unadorned spinning uppercut kick, without any chakra power attached, relying solely on its own [Power] attribute to send the White Zetsu back outside the crater.

"Huh?"

Bai Jue looked bewildered, his plant-like mind unable to process what had happened.

Just then, a [shadow thread] shot out from below, instantly connecting to White Zetsu's body and sealing its consciousness in the process.

Almost simultaneously, a notification popped up on the panel indicating that the task had ended.

[You have defeated the B-rank ninja combat objective!]

You have obtained a Grade B [Ninja Scroll]!

Nara Rinka leaped out of the pit, grabbed the white Zetsu that had fallen from the sky, and brought it back to the ground.

"Is the mission complete?"

White Zetsu, manipulated by Nara Rinka's consciousness, spoke up on its own initiative.

"Quickly check what's inside that scroll. I can use the White Zetsu's body to experiment with new abilities."

"Hold on."

Nara Rinkazu's mind stirred slightly, and he directly activated the scroll on the panel.

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Technique: Implantation Technique]

[Spell Description: As calm as a plant! A supreme concealment technique!]

[Technique Effect: By simply utilizing the natural energy that fills the earth, it seals off and severs all traces of one's own presence. Even the most skilled sensory ninja will be unable to detect one's existence using chakra perception.]

[Technique Evaluation: Using ninjutsu to spy is a forbidden act in the ninja world.]

This update at this time is just outrageous...

But we'll continue with four updates today.

Second update...around 8 or 9 PM?

-

Regarding the "False Planting Technique," this is a splitting ninjutsu created by the author as a secondary concept.

The source is the absolute [Ephemeral Technique].

In the official guidebook, the [Mayfly Technique] has no levels. Its effect is to burrow into the earth, become one with it, and move at high speed within the earth.

During the activation of [Mayfly Technique], all auras are severed, and the user will not be detected.

This is the origin of the "art of artificial implantation".

And the relationship between White Zetsu and natural energy.

This is also the author's secondary interpretation.

Because... there is really no other way to explain why White Zetsu can burrow underground and bypass the chakra senses of all sensory ninjas.

It can only be attributed to natural energy.

-

In addition, White Zetsu also possesses effects such as absorbing chakra and simulating chakra.

The art of disguise is the ultimate "transformation technique".

Although the performance of the lower-level White Zetsu in the Fourth Shinobi World War didn't seem very impressive.

But this is really a very strong grunt.

Also, just a heads-up that the White Zetsu in the Fourth Shinobi World War were the second-round modified version by Kabuto Yakushi.
