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

Chapter 174 Post-Battle Inventory: S-Rank Ninja Tools!

"Yes, Madara Uchiha is dead..."

Minato Namikaze shifted his gaze to the lifeless corpse of the old man on the ground and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I never expected that a ninja of this age could still display such great strength."

"If it weren't for the unique effect of your shadow technique, Lan Gui, we might have failed completely..."

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but recall every detail of this mission.

If Nara Rin hadn't come along to carry out this mission, Minato Namikaze might not have been able to break through the defenses of the reanimated Uchiha Kagami, let alone kill the Uchiha Madara hiding in the shadows.

In any case, the S-rank mission to execute the founder of Konoha has finally been completed.

Over the years, Minato Namikaze has carried out numerous S-class missions.

However, if we only consider the overall strength of the mission objectives, this S-rank mission definitely surpasses all previous missions!

Thankfully, it's finally finished...

"Lan Gui, you rest here for a while and keep an eye on Madara Uchiha's body."

Minato Namikaze stood up from the ground and gestured for Nara Rinka to rest first.

"I'll go and inspect this cave."

We can't just take Madara Uchiha's body away after killing him.

A comprehensive and detailed battlefield inventory is also essential.

Nara Rinkazu nodded slightly to Namikaze Minato and then sat down cross-legged.

While Minato Namikaze was rapidly inventorying the supplies and ninja tools in the cave, Nara Rinkei was also quietly examining the corpse of "Uchiha Madara".

Shadow Manipulation Technique!

A nearly imperceptible shadow thread was released from beneath Nara Rinkazu's body, connecting to the corpse of "Uchiha Madara." Unsurprisingly, no trace of his consciousness was found.

"This is indeed just a corpse."

Nara Ranka silently withdrew the [Shadow Manipulation Technique].

"But this is definitely not the real Uchiha Madara!"

How did Madara Uchiha manage such a realistic disguise? Was it the White Zetsu's disguise technique?

"And what Tobi, the White Zetsu, said before he fled..."

Just as Nara Rinka was considering these issues.

Minato Namikaze has quickly completed the battlefield inventory.

When not rescuing people, the yellow flasher's movement speed is still very reliable.

"These scrolls are basically Madara Uchiha's personal collection."

Minato Namikaze, carrying a stack of scrolls, laid them out in front of Nara Rinkazu.

"I just did a quick check. These scrolls don't have any defensive techniques printed on them. The contents are all over the place, but most of them are ninjutsu knowledge from the two families."

"The Uchiha clan's Fire Release techniques, and... the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques!"

"The Uzumaki clan?"

Nara Rinka raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise.

"Yes, Lan Gui, you should know our Konoha symbol."

Minato Namikaze pointed to the headband on his forehead, then turned around and pointed to the red vortex behind his green vest.

"The leaves symbolize our Konoha, and the whirlpool symbolizes Uzushio Village."

"The Uzumaki clan was a ninja clan that lived in Uzushio Village in the Land of Whirlpools, but today... Uzushio Village has been destroyed in history."

"That's a story from decades ago, and it's complicated to explain now... But judging from the current situation, the destruction of Uzushio Village back then should be inextricably linked to Uchiha Madara, who was lurking in the shadows!"

At this point, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but clench his fist.

What he cared about was not that Madara Uchiha destroyed Uzushio Village.

What he cares about is Kushina Uzumaki, who comes from Uzushio Village!

If Kushina Uzumaki hadn't been taken out of Uzushio Village by the Konoha ninjas, would she have also been secretly harmed by Madara Uchiha?

This is simply...unforgivable!

"Is Madara Uchiha related to the destruction of the Uzumaki clan?"

Nara Rinka was genuinely surprised this time.

He had never connected Madara Uchiha with the Uzumaki clan before.

But according to Minato Namikaze's description at this time, Madara Uchiha had also participated in the destruction of Uzushio Village.

That's true...

It's not impossible!

After all, Madara Uchiha had been in a state of feigned death and diving since his duel with Hashirama Senju.

And after the battle at the Valley of the End...

Konoha Village went through the succession of the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Third Hokage, and went through the First Shinobi World War, the Second Shinobi World War, and the Third Shinobi World War.

During such a long period of time, Madara Uchiha couldn't possibly have just been hiding in the shadows doing nothing, could he?

According to the intelligence information held by Nara Rinka.

Leaving aside distant examples, Madara Uchiha had at least a deep connection with Kirigakure!

Although Nara Ranke didn't know how Uchiha Madara got involved with Kirigakure, or even the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure...

"It's highly likely."

Minato Namikaze explained.

"However, Uzushio Village has been destroyed for decades, and Madara Uchiha has now been killed by us... Discussing these things now is of little practical value."

Nara Rinka nodded, his gaze falling on the stacks of scrolls in front of him.

He raised his palm and slowly reached out towards the scrolls.

A flood of message notifications instantly popped up on the panel, scrolling across the screen like a torrent.

[B-rank technique detected: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation. Learn it?]

[Detected Rank A technique: Fire Release: Dust Concealment]...]

[...Rank A Technique [Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique]...]

[...Rank B spell [Contract Seal]...]

[...Rank B spell [Translation Seal]...]

[...Rank A spell [Sealing Tail Seal]...]

[...Rank A spell [Tail-Unlocking Seal]...]

Nara Rinka only glanced at the messages that popped up on the panel, and he was a little overwhelmed by the dense B-level and A-level symbols.

Truly worthy of being Madara Uchiha's personal collection!

Even the lowest quality surgical technique has a B-grade rating!

Furthermore, considering the value and function of sealing techniques.

In Nara Rinkei's eyes, the evaluation level of sealing techniques should be raised by one level!

With the help of the "one-click learning" function unique to the [Lazy System], Nara Rinkei learned these B-rank and A-rank techniques in the blink of an eye, turning them into his own power base.

Because Minato Namikaze was standing to the side.

Nara Rinka couldn't immediately check the newly added techniques on the panel, so she had to postpone it for a while.

"Besides these scrolls, Madara Uchiha also has some special ninja tools in his collection."

Minato Namikaze's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, only to return just as quickly.

"Several black robes, several enormous Fuma shuriken, but the most unique item is undoubtedly this fan..."

Nara Rinkazu looked at the unusual giant fan held by Minato Namikaze.

Nara Rinka has encountered fan-shaped ninja tools before.

For example, Ebizo, whom I encountered in the Battle of Kikyo Castle, was holding a special fan that could greatly increase the power of his Wind Release ninjutsu.

After capturing Ebizo alive in Nara, the fan-shaped ninja tool became part of his personal collection.

However, Nara Rinkei rarely used Wind Release techniques in his daily life, so even when he went to the battlefield, he did not carry that large fan with him.

"I don't know what this fan is, but among all the scrolls and ninja tools, this fan is placed in the most conspicuous place."

Minato Namikaze gently fanned himself a few times with his round fan, creating a gentle breeze in the cave.

"And Lan Gui, don't you think this fan looks a lot like the symbol of the Uchiha clan?"

"They really do look alike."

Nara Rinka nodded slightly and extended her right hand.

Minato Namikaze understood perfectly and handed the fan to Nara Rinkazu.

Nara Rinka holds a round fan, and its message pops up directly on the panel.

[S-rank ninja tool [Flame Fan] detected!]

[S-Rank Ninja Tool: Flame Fan]

[Ninja Tool Description: The highest symbol of the Uchiha clan! Resisting all things, turning everything into a ferocious headwind!]

【Ninja Tool Effects: 1. 【Flame Fan】Crafted and carved from the wood of the Divine Tree, it can absorb chakra of any form and nature, and convert the absorbed chakra into the nature of wind, reflecting it back;

2. [Flame Fan] can hold a maximum of S+ level chakra energy.

[Ninja Tool Review: I only drink milkshakes!]

"It really is that big fan!"

Nara Rinka played with the huge round fan in his hand, a faint sense of surprise flashing through his mind.

"It seems Madara Uchiha really bleeds a lot to convince me and Eiryuu of this fake farewell performance!"

The ninjutsu scrolls that Minato Namikaze just brought back are indeed of high quality.

However, from Nara Rinka's perspective, it was immediately clear that this was definitely not Madara Uchiha's entire collection!

Putting aside other things.

How could Madara Uchiha's personal collection of materials only contain information on Fire Release and Sealing Techniques?

What about Wood Release? Yin-Yang Release? Rinnegan?

Not a single S-rank technique!

How could this possibly be Madara Uchiha's entire fortune?

Nara Rinka knows that Madara Uchiha's true lair is located within the Land of Iron.

This waterfall cave is very likely just a "temporary base" set up arbitrarily by the other party.

Just like how he would always dig up a "temporary research base" anywhere on the battlefield.

Nara Rinka was mentally prepared to return with those B-rank and A-rank techniques.

Unexpectedly, at the last minute, I picked up an S-rank ninja tool!

[Flame Ball Fan]!

This fan can even block a Tailed Beast Ball without taking any damage!

Such powerful ninja tools!

"We'll probably have to return this fan to the Uchiha clan later, right?"

Minato Namikaze was unaware of the details of the [Flame Fan] and was simply recounting his own speculations.

"After all, this is Madara Uchiha's personal collection, and it looks so much like the Uchiha clan crest."

"Speaking of the Uchiha clan, don't we have members of the Uchiha clan in both of our teams?"

Nara Rinka reminded him.

"There's one more thing."

"Brother Minato, is Uchiha Kagami-senpai still outside?"

Thank you so much to "Let Go of That Mature Woman" for the generous donation!!

Three updates today.
