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

Chapter 19: A Glimmer of Hope for an S-Rank Mission! (Please continue reading!)

"Balance exists in all things."

Nara Rinkei disposed of the chakra test strip in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Does this mean I will eventually leave the 'Shadow Stream Cult' and return to the 'Balance Cult'?"

After saying a joke that only he could understand, Nara Rinka's mood gradually calmed down.

The results of the chakra test strips were surprisingly good.

A ninja's chakra nature is innate.

Being born with four attributes indicates that Nara Rinka's aptitude in this area far surpasses that of most ninjas in the ninja world.

Even though the Nara clan's [Shadow Technique], passed down through generations, is ever-changing and combines offense and control.

However, no one can deny the advantages of each of the five elemental escape techniques: water, fire, wind, earth, and thunder.

however……

Nara Rinka calls out the [Lazybones System] and scrolls up to find the message notification that makes him uneasy.

[Detected to have contracted the Six Paths Sage Art: Self-Karma Binding Technique!]

"It is highly likely that this is a sixth-level immortal technique used by the Sage of Six Paths."

Nara Rinka stared intently at the text information on the virtual panel, his expression silent and solemn.

"What exactly is its significance and function?"

Upon discovering this message, Nara Rinkei initially believed that he had been "banned by the underworld administrators for illegal immigration."

However, his subsequent experiences gradually led him to reject this conjecture.

The most important point is that, apart from this news, the [Six Paths Immortal Technique - Self-Karma Binding Technique] has never had any presence from beginning to end.

"Could my unique chakra nature be due to the Six Paths Sage Art? It doesn't seem like it..."

Nara Rinkazu thought for a moment and the virtual panel in front of him disappeared.

"If this were the Six Paths Immortal Technique, I should now have a balanced combination of the five elements: water, fire, wind, earth, and thunder! Add yin and yang, and that would be seven elements!"

"So these four balanced attributes of water, fire, wind, and earth are truly innate?"

Nara hesitated for a while while holding the osmanthus tree, but eventually gave up on his wild thoughts.

Even if his balanced four attributes were indeed caused by the [Six Paths Immortal Technique: Self-Karma Binding Technique]...

He currently has no way or ability to resolve this matter.

For a super behind-the-scenes mastermind like the Sage of Six Paths.

Nara Rangsei, which hasn't even left the "beginner village" yet, has no choice but to lie low and give up.

There's no need to fight anymore.

hateful!

"One day, we will have no rivals ahead of us!"

Nara Ranka took out a soldier's ration pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Lazybones, add some points!"

[Precision +10]

"Extremely effective!"

After swallowing a "golden pill," I realized that my fate was not determined by heaven.

……

It was afternoon.

Carrying the newly prepared scroll of the [Lacquer Eye] technique, Nara Rinka, completely satisfied, set off from Konoha Village towards Kikyo Castle.

With the help of his newly acquired D-rank [Body Flicker Technique], his return time was reduced many times over, and he experienced firsthand the powerful mobility of a ninja for the first time.

Although most ninjas would not use such a luxurious method as the Body Flicker Technique to travel unless there were special circumstances.

But who could blame them when Nara Rinka had already replenished his chakra in advance?

After discovering that a single soldier's ration pill can provide 10 points of the [Precision] attribute.

Nara Rinkei decisively pushed the limits of her physical endurance to the maximum extent possible with the "drug-enhancing method".

But it must be said that the soldier's ration pills produced by Mandiantang are indeed very filling.

Most of the day has passed.

Nara Rinka only managed to consume three ration pills, barely raising his [Accuracy] from D- to D.

His chakra was so full it was almost overflowing!

"The attribute values ​​for grade E range from 1 to 10, and for grade D they range from 11 to 100."

"Based on this calculation, I should be able to raise my [Precision] attribute to C- rank, which is equivalent to Chunin level, by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Nara Rinka did not fail to consider the consequences of doubling the [precision] attribute in the short term.

However, the accurate description of the "precision" attribute in the "Lazy System" is "vital constitution and cellular activity".

Unlike most sensory ninjas who can immediately discern the amount of chakra, this is different.

The improvement of the [Precision] attribute is very subtle and understated.

Unless a medical ninja conducts a thorough examination.

Otherwise, who could observe the leapfrog growth in the life quality and cell activity of Nara Rangsei with the naked eye?

"One soldier's ration pill is worth 10 points of precision; one hundred pills would be worth 1000 points."

After arriving at Kikyo Castle, Nara Rinka first headed towards home.

"In about a month, I'll be able to bring [Precision] up to [Wisdom] and reach Rank B!"

The threshold for a Grade B attribute is 1000 points.

Breaking this record is not difficult for Nara Rangke.

The real difficulties lie ahead.

If the threshold for A-grade attributes really is as high as 10,000 points.

Even if Nara Rangsuke ate three soldier pills a day, it would still take him nearly a year to raise his [Accuracy] to A grade.

"Actually, once my medical knowledge improves, I can develop higher-quality soldier rations on my own."

"Yes, we still need to explore other ways to increase the [Precision] attribute."

Go home.

Nara Shusuke is at the research institute; only Nara Hirako is at home.

"Little Horn, why are you back again?"

Hearing that familiar tone full of disdain, Nara Rinka pursed her lips.

"I've returned to deliver the scroll containing the [Lacquer Eye] technique to Chief Kano—"

Seeing Nara Hirako get up and prepare to go into the kitchen to cook, Nara Lan Ke interrupted her.

"No need to prepare food, I'm not hungry right now."

"It saves me a lot of trouble."

Nara Hiroko leisurely sat back down on the sofa.

"By the way, didn't you say before that the scroll had to be submitted three days later?"

"Given your personality, I originally thought this time would be pushed back a few more days."

The Nara clan are all lazybones, everyone knows that, right? (Proudly)

"Some unexpected changes have occurred."

Nara Rinka skipped over this topic.

The reason he was able to organize the [Lacquer Eye] technique scroll so quickly was...

One reason is that he had experienced a real battle against the Uchiha in the morning, which increased his experience in using the [Lacquer Eyes];

On the other hand, it's because he discovered a clear path to improve his strength, unlike before when he was leisurely and complacent.

One of the tenets of energy conservation is to simplify everything that must be done.

Nara Rinka is practicing his ninja way!

"I've come back with two things I want to tell you."

Nara Rinkachi acted swiftly and decisively, leaving Nara Hirako stunned by his resolute and efficient manner.

"The first thing is about Shusuke's research... We can talk about that when he comes back from the research institute tonight."

"The second thing is even more important than that. I just heard some information from the Hokage's office this morning—"

"If it's truly very important information, there's no need to tell me."

Nara Pingzi interrupted Nara Lan Gui, looking at her own child with some relief.

"Ninjas must be responsible for the information they possess."

"Xiaojiao, you seem to have grown a lot since then... I feel more at ease letting you live alone now."

Hearing Nara Hirano's words, which showed a stark contrast between her previous and subsequent statements, Nara Rankei almost glared at her in anger.

But over the years, he has indeed gotten used to it.

"This is indeed very important intelligence."

Nara Rinka took a deep breath.

"But the level of secrecy is not high, it seems that the higher-ups intentionally leaked the news to the outside world... In short, when I came back, quite a few people in the village were already talking about it."

"The Third Kazekage of Sunagakure has gone missing."

Who is the "Third Kazekage"?

"The Third Kazekage! The leader of Sunagakure..."

"Pfft!"

Nara Hiroko suddenly smiled.

"Sorry, I just remembered something happy..."

"Anyway, thank you for making me happy, Kozuki."

Nara Rinka was puzzled by Nara Hirako's reaction.

"What?"

"The Third Kazekage, the one with blue hair, wearing a white robe, who could summon a torrent of iron sand with a wave of his hand?"

Nara Hirako waved her hand, displaying the normal reaction of most foreign ninjas upon hearing this absurd information.

"How could such a powerful ninja suddenly disappear?"

At this point, Nara Hiroko couldn't help but point to her right leg.

"If he were really that weak, how could my legs have become like this?"

Nara Rinka doesn't know the specific reasons for Nara Hirako's retirement, only that she was seriously injured in the meridian system of her right leg during the Second Shinobi World War, which led to her retirement.

But now it sounds...

Nara Rinkazu looked Nara Hirako up and down. She was dressed in casual clothes and looked no different from an ordinary housewife.

He was filled with awe.

"Pingzi, you've even fought the Third Kazekage before?"

Nara Hiroko wanted to nod in agreement, but her honesty...

Okay, actually, her abilities couldn't justify such an exaggerated lie.

"Not exactly."

Nara Hiroko turned her head away and whispered.

"Back then, I was only caught in the crossfire of the Third Kazekage's ninjutsu and couldn't escape his attack range..."

"...In short, the Third Kazekage has been missing for a long time, and may have died somewhere in the Land of Wind."

Nara Rinka let out a breath and said with a stern face.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, war is truly imminent!"

……

After bidding farewell to Nara Hirano, Nara Rinka, carrying the scroll, headed towards the clan chief's house.

Nara Kano was born at the end of the Sengoku period and practically grew up alongside Konoha.

In addition to being the head of the Nara clan, Nara Kano also serves as the leader of the Jonin squad in Konoha.

Just as Nara Rinka arrived at the clan chief's house, Nara Kano appeared at almost the same time.

She was simply following behind him.

"Lan Gui? What brings you here?"

"Chieftain."

Nara Rinka looked at the clan leader, who resembled an "older version of Nara Shikaku," and took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag.

"The [Lacquer Eye] technique is complete."

"real?"

Nara Kano paused, his travel-worn face filled with surprise.

"Don't joke around..."

"You should know the significance of these eyes to our clan. To you, they are like an S-rank mission."

Nara's heart stirred slightly as he looked at the osmanthus tree.

S-rank... commissioned mission?

Starting today, we'll be making our first round of recommendations!
