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

Chapter 187 Reaching a Consensus with the Lazy Forces!

"Give me a few days. I'll go back to the old house and organize all the scroll documents there."

Having resolved to learn Wood Release, Tsunade swiftly began arranging short-term plans.

"I'll bring all those rolls to you then."

"Nara, you absolutely must research Wood Release!"

With scrolls containing techniques such as the [Lava Release Chakra Creation Method], Tsunade was full of confidence in Nara Rin's talent in the research of bloodline limits.

If only I could have mastered the power of Wood Release before my teacher or Orochimaru...

I'll show you what it means to "revive the glory of the Thousand Hands, it's our duty!"

Looking at Tsunade's radiant appearance, Nara Rinka nodded slightly in his heart.

Although "Wood Release" and the like are still vague and ethereal things.

But at least it rekindled Big Fat Sheep's hope for life!

With hope for the future, Big Fat Sheep will no longer be the same decadent person who drinks all day and does nothing.

The only problem is hemophobia...

Nara Rinka came to his senses, and faced with Tsunade's overflowing anticipation, he could only pour cold water on it.

"No one can make any guarantees before the research yields results; I can only say I will do my best."

At this point, Nara Rinka pointed to the White Zetsu inside the glass protective shield behind him.

"Furthermore, you just saw the Wood Dragon Technique I used with the White Zetsu's body. That so-called Wood Dragon was as thin as firewood..."

"I don't know what the secrets of the First Hokage's Wood Release are, but I'm certain that the Wood Release he used to quell the chaos of the world should not have been just at that level."

How would you describe the Wood Release level of this White Zetsu?

No one compares it to the big pillar anymore.

It's practically a severely watered-down version of Yamato!

However, this was just a regular Jonin-level White Zetsu, so Nara Rinkei didn't have high expectations for it.

It can be used as a tool to farm Ninja Scrolls, and occasionally even to test Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, or even Sage Mode...

These points basically sum up all of Nara Rinkei's expectations for the ordinary White Zetsu in his hands.

"Of course I know all that. Can Shizune's medical ninjutsu compare to mine?"

Tsunade clenched her fists, making a series of cracking sounds as her bones popped.

"I don't expect my future Wood Release skills to be comparable to my great-grandfather's..."

"As long as I can beat Orochimaru up, that's all that matters!"

The three Sannin were basically intimately familiar with each other's intelligence capabilities.

Although there was no life-or-death battle.

However, if we were to rank the three legendary ninjas by sheer strength...

Even Tsunade herself thought she could only be ranked last...

As for who is stronger between Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

This depends on their individual levels of spiritual practice over the past few years.

If we move the timeline back to after the Second Shinobi World War,...

Therefore, in Tsunade's opinion, Orochimaru's strength should rank first among them.

Seven different chakra nature transformations, an extremely broad mastery of forbidden ninjutsu, the qualification for a summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave, and incredibly tenacious means of survival...

Aside from his slightly weaker taijutsu skills and physical attributes, Orochimaru was basically considered a smaller version of her teacher (Hiruzen Sarutobi) in Tsunade's eyes!

"Beat Orochimaru up..."

Nara Rinkachi understood Tsunade's obsession, and he decisively suggested another candidate.

"What about the Third Hokage?"

Tsunade's desire to win immediately diminished, and after a moment of silence, she spoke.

"He is, after all, the Hokage of the village, and also my teacher..."

Seeing the big fat sheep's hesitation and retreat, Nara Rangsuke calmly threw out the scapegoat he had prepared long ago.

"Are you also prepared to let Shimura Danzo go?"

"Shimura Danzo!"

A flash of anger suddenly appeared in Tsunade's brown eyes.

How could she have forgotten about this old man!

Orochimaru's descent into evil was definitely due to the seduction of that ninja in darkness!

"Shimura Danzo! Orochimaru!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and shouted out those two names.

"I will definitely settle this score with them someday!"

"Of course, all of this is predicated on Wood Release!"

"I will do everything in my power to support your plans."

Nara Rinka proactively opened his arms and embraced his big fat sheep.

"Just don't do what you did last time, where you kissed someone and then just hide away from everyone."

"Look, we've pretty much covered the essentials. Shouldn't we now have a deeper discussion and build some rapport?"

"...Dirty!"

Tsunade nimbly bent down, dodging Nara Lan Gui's embrace, and flashed to the vicinity of the entrance to the underground base.

"I'm leaving now! I'll come find you again next time."

Nara Rinka also stepped forward, and after some entanglement, reluctantly saw the fat sheep off.

They returned to the underground research base.

Nara Rinka once again released the White Zetsu from its protective shield and placed it on the testing platform in the middle of the laboratory.

"White Zetsu, open your eyes if you don't want to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jue, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Haha... Lord Nara, your insight is truly remarkable!"

"I know your background, and I also need your special physique that allows you to use Wood Release."

Nara Rinka looked at Shiro Jue and got straight to the point.

"Live well in my research base, refine chakra, and become my experimental tool;

"Otherwise, you'll live a life worse than death, and I'll dissect and study you."

"You choose one."

Even the lowest-ranking White Zetsu may have some shortcomings in certain aspects, but they are basically intelligent beings capable of free thought.

Faced with the two paths offered by Nara Rinka, this White Zetsu naturally chose the first one.

To this day, White Zetsu still doesn't know how Nara Rinka pulled it out of Uchiha Kagami's body.

Faced with such a dangerous role...

White Zetsu planned to strategically surrender to save his life first, and then look for an opportunity to escape.

"Great, I like people who are proactive in cooperating."

Nara Lan Gui Xiang Bai Jue Jiao Dao.

"Your next task is to continuously absorb nutrients, refine chakra within your body, and reduce your activity level... just like a plant."

White Zetsu complied.

"I see!"

……

After dealing with the White Zetsu issue, Nara Rinkei placed some Shadow Clones and Shadow Clone Techniques in the underground base to continue his previous research plan.

Then, he left the research base and went to another secluded place in Kikyo Castle.

Upon returning to Konoha, there's another "researcher" waiting for him to deal with...

During his journey, Nara Rinka found a moment of free time to examine the newly acquired A-rank technique, [Yin Healing and Destruction].

"This medical ninjutsu... is so useless."

After reviewing the effects of [Yin Healing and Destruction], Nara Rinka was not very satisfied with the quality of this A-rank technique.

"Since you can predict the opponent's attack route, you can just dodge directly. Why do you have to take the damage from the opponent's attack?"

"If we can't dodge in time, then where will we find the time to refine and prepare enough Yang Release chakra?"

Nara Rinkazu had a very bad first impression of [Yin Yu Shang Mie].

This medical ninjutsu was basically useless to him.

If the goal is simply to heal one's own injuries, the [Regeneration Technique] is clearly more effective than the [Yin Healing and Wound Destruction Technique].

"However, for medical ninjas with abundant chakra, especially for Tsunade, the effect of [Yin Healing and Destruction] is still quite good, after all, her main role is a berserker warrior."

Nara Rinka didn't pay much attention to [Yin Healing and Destruction], treating it merely as adding another medical ninjutsu scroll to his collection, and incidentally increasing his [Wisdom] attribute, which symbolizes spiritual energy.

In a secluded building within Kikyo Castle.

The arrival of Nara Rinka did not immediately attract the attention of the young woman in the villa.

After several months, the wildcat from Sunagakure, who was placed in this small villa, is already transforming into a domestic cat.

"Yakura?"

Until Nara Rinka took the initiative to speak.

Ye Cang, who was half-reclining on the soft sofa, enjoying afternoon tea and flipping through storybooks, only belatedly sat up and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"Huh? You're back?"

During the months that Nara Rinkasa spent traveling to the Iwagakure battlefield.

Yekura also lived comfortably in this small villa for several months.

From the initial "nervous idleness".

Later, it turned into "idling away and doing nothing".

Now, Yekura has calmly accepted her current life and thoroughly enjoys this peaceful existence.

People become ninjas not entirely because of the "Will of Fire" or the "Will of Sand".

Like the samurai of the Land of Iron, many samurai chose to become ninjas because they could no longer make a living.

This also shows that the income of ninjas was above average.

Once upon a time, Yekura was also a good ninja who cared deeply for the village.

Later, her ability to use chakra was sealed away...

Life is like XX; since you can't resist it, you can only enjoy it.

Yekura lived in Kikyo Castle, undisturbed by any worries.

Besides being unable to use chakra and being restricted from going out,

Yekura's daily life is like that of a sheltered young lady who never leaves her home.

Nara Rinkazu sized up Yokura, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.

They've been kept in the villa for so long.

While no progress has been made in other aspects of Yecang's life, her figure has evolved from a well-proportioned hourglass shape to a plump pear shape.

And considering the other party's extremely slow reaction speed...

Nara Rankei suddenly began to doubt whether "Yakura of the Scorching Release" still had the qualifications to continue being a ninja.

"I will first remove the seal on you."

Nara Rinka stepped forward and pressed down on Yokura's soft abdomen, a dark sealing technique flashing briefly across her abdomen.

"Then, there is a task you need to perform."

Feeling the long-lost power of chakra, Ms. Yekura wore a bitter expression.

"This is so troublesome... Can I take a break first?"
