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

Chapter 192 S-Rank Mission: Five-Tailed King Koku-o!

"I'm free!"

Even though Kokuo is a tailed beast that has lived for a very long time, it still feels great pleasure to be released from its Jinchuriki's body.

"Nara Rinkazu, you truly are a ninja of your word. I admire you greatly."

"Please calm down, King Mu."

Nara Rinka waved to the Five-Tailed King, then looked at the man lying on the ground, barely alive, and once again created a clone to form hand seals.

"I still need to deal with the Han issue."

Generally speaking.

If the tailed beast is extracted from a Jinchūriki's body, they will almost certainly die instantly.

Only a very small number of ninjas with extremely high vitality can delay their own death.

Nara Rinka had no feelings for Han, but no matter what, Han was still his prisoner, a ninja with a bloodline limit.

Moreover, he was a "Jinchūriki whose tailed beast had been extracted".

Considering the special and rare nature of this identity, Nara Rangsuke decided to try to save Han's life.

The four clones stood in four different locations, simultaneously forming hand seals and releasing a highly concentrated cloud of black chakra towards Han's location, enveloping the dying Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

[Four Black Mist Formations]!

"The [Four Black Mist Array] is said to be able to temporarily seal away death, but I don't know if it can save Han's life... Let's conduct a small experiment."

As Nara Rinka gazed at the incredibly dense black mist of chakra, a thought flashed through his mind.

With the continuous improvement of their strength and level.

Especially after he manipulated the Black Warrior to directly defeat Uchiha Kagami in his Edo Tensei state.

Nara's confidence and boldness in carrying out his mission have become increasingly abundant.

Nara Rinka didn't care much about the leak of some information about special abilities.

For example, this [Tail-Untying Seal].

For example, take this [Four Black Mist Formation].

These two techniques are clearly not magical abilities that can be obtained through normal channels, and explaining them to outsiders would be very troublesome.

But why should Nara now explain to outsiders?

Their strength has reached this point.

As long as Nara Rinkazu does not openly defect or stage a coup, he is safe.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi could only hold his nose and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to his actions.

"What is this black mist?"

The Five-Tailed King looked with some curiosity at the black mist released by Nara Rinka's clone.

"A technique that can temporarily seal away death."

Nara Rinka explained casually.

Let's not dwell on these trivial matters...

"King Mu, this is the Kikyō Mountain I mentioned to you before."

"It's a beautiful place with lots of trees and abundant natural energy. I really like this kind of mountain forest."

The Five-Tailed King looked around and closed his eyes comfortably.

"The environment here is much better than that of Iwagakure Village."

"Nara Rangsei, may I now tour this mountain?"

"Sorry, you may have to wait a little longer."

Nara Ranka shook his head.

"Although I have now unsealed you, this was only my personal action. In order to appease the other villagers, we should wait for them to come here and explain things clearly before leaving."

"I don't really understand you ninjas."

Despite saying this, the Five-Tailed King still obediently prostrated himself down.

"The world of ninjas is really complicated."

"That's just how humans are."

Nara Rinkazu sat down cross-legged and began chatting with Go-Ou Muou about endless topics.

"To live a peaceful life, one must accept the basic rules of human society."

"Unless you can become so powerful that you completely ignore the existence of everyone else..."

While Nara was chatting with Go-o Kokuo.

The immense amount of chakra emanating from the Five-Tails, Kokuo, was being sensed by the Konoha ninja.

Inside the Hokage's office, where the wrangling continues.

"A very powerful burst of chakra suddenly erupted from the direction of Mount Kikyo!"

Minato Namikaze reported the news in a hurried tone.

"I've encountered this before on the front lines! This is the Five-Tails' chakra!"

"How is that possible..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused slightly, then stopped chatting and joking with Nara Kano, saying things like, "Nara Rinka is also a good young man who believes in the Will of Fire."

"Kushina didn't go to Mount Kikyo, so how could Nara Rinka possibly have unsealed the Five-Tails from its Jinchuriki?!"

The situation was urgent, leaving no time for Hiruzen Sarutobi to think things through.

Nara Kano was also slightly taken aback, almost wanting to immediately grow a pair of wings and fly to Kikyo Mountain to see the appearance of the Five-Tailed Beast!

"Watergate!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately got up from behind his desk.

"Take me to Mount Kikyo!"

"yes!"

Minato Namikaze instantly appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, placed his hand on the latter's shoulder, and then vanished.

Upon seeing this, Nara Kano immediately used [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting] to create a [Shadow Creature] that carried him out of the Hokage Building and headed directly to Mount Kikyo.

Hidden in the shadows, Uchiha Kagami paused for a moment before finally using the power of the "Yatagara" to fly out of the Hokage's office.

In just a few seconds, chaos erupted in the Hokage's office, leaving only the two advisor elders, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

However, no one is paying attention to their actions anymore.

In the Kikyo Mountains.

Nara Rinka stopped his conversation with Go-O and looked towards the nearby woods, speaking softly.

"Brother Minato, you're still as fast as ever."

In the mountains and forests, a white magical beast lay prostrate on the ground, and a black-haired boy sat upright in front of it.

This peaceful and harmonious scene did not dispel the wariness of the two people who had rushed over from Konoha Village.

Upon hearing Nara Rinkazu's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze emerged from the shadows of the forest, both looking at the Five-Tails with a very wary and apprehensive gaze.

The five-tailed beast, Kokuou, sensed this gaze and flicked its tail somewhat unhappily.

"It seems that not all Konoha ninjas are like Nara Ranka..."

"To embrace the laurel."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment, and seeing that the Five-Tails was still in its original posture and was not running wild, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"How did you do that?"

"Private information, no comment."

Nara Rinkazu directly deflected Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, and then pointed to the area covered by the [Four Black Mist Formation].

"That's a human jinchūriki over there."

"This is... the Four Black Mist Formation?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a very extensive understanding of ninjutsu, and he immediately recognized the name of this peculiar black mist technique.

Where exactly did Nara Ranke learn this ninjutsu?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was puzzled.

But as mentioned before, he had no choice but to remain puzzled.

How can we force an answer out of Nara Rinkasa?

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think he could do it.

But until this point.

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally understood why Nara Rinkei's attitude had been so sharp and aggressive during the meeting.

It is known that Nara Rangatsu had planted the Flying Thunder God mark on the Five-Tails Jinchuriki beforehand, and it is also known that he possesses the means to unseal the Five-Tails...

In this situation, Nara Rinko did not forcibly seize control of the Five-Tails on the front lines. Instead, he allowed it to be sent back to Konoha and even participated in the so-called "Five-Tails Distribution Meeting," expressing his willingness to resolve the issue peacefully.

The thought that "the Nara clan ninjas are indeed loyal to Konoha" inexplicably arose in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

Just as the three were talking.

Nara Kano and Uchiha Kagami arrived one after the other.

Ignoring Hiruzen Sarutobi to the side, Nara Shikano stumbled and rushed towards the Five-Tails the moment he landed.

"Eek! Alright! The Five-Tails is here!"

Seeing the strange behavior of the old ninja, the Five-Tails Kokuo was so frightened that he almost stood up.

What happened?

Are there any other ninjas in Konoha who are this crazy?

"Chieftain, calm down!"

A shadowy tentacle emerged from the shadows of Nara Rinka and immobilized the old clan chief in place.

"Your current appearance is absolutely terrible! It will affect how the Five-Tails perceives you!"

"Oh! Right!"

Nara Kano had been serious for a moment, but couldn't help but say it.

"Five-Tails, can I touch it?"

The Five-Tailed King stood up completely, looking at Nara Rangsuke with great unease.

"Nara Rinka, so this is... the head of your Nara clan?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the clan leader... he's a bit special."

Nara Lan Gui said helplessly.

"Well... as far as I know, the chieftain's biggest dream in his life is—"

"Enough! Lan Gui!"

Before the group completely collapsed, Nara Kano finally returned to normal and quickly interrupted the conversation.

"We'll talk about our family matters later! You take care of your business first!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, and Kagami Uchiha looked at the former Nara clan leader and Jonin class leader who always appeared mature and composed, and never expected that he would have such a face.

It's almost like...

"It's like seeing Jiraiya-sensei in the women's bathhouse..."

A thought flashed through Minato Namikaze's mind.

In front of outsiders, Nara Rinkei still gave the old clan chief some face.

"Since everyone is already here, I don't need to say too much."

Nara Rinkachi began to discuss serious matters.

"That's the situation. I'm going to fulfill my promise to Gotae now... Please, everyone, go ahead."

After saying these words, Nara Rinka looked at Go-O.

"King Mu, would you be willing to give me a ride?"

Although Go-o-Tai Koku-o didn't quite understand this explanation, he still roughly grasped Nara's intention in taking on the cassia tree.

The white deer lowered its head slightly.

Nara Rinka leaped up and landed on top of the head of the Five-Tailed King.

"Let's go! To the Valley of the End!"

The white monsters swept across the land, creating a rumbling sound.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others watched with bated breath, but Kano Nara was completely engrossed.

With the five-tailed beast Muou's swift speed.

Nara Rinka quickly arrived at the Valley of the End, which they had visited just a few days ago.

It did not fall into the river below.

Nara Rinka gestured for Go-O to stop in the plains near the Valley of the End.

"You may begin, King Mu."

Nara Rinka leaped down from the top of the five-tailed fox's head, landed on the ground, and turned to wave at the great white deer.

"Let me see your strength."

"Be careful, Nara is about to fall."

The Five-Tailed King lowered its head slightly, pointed its several giant horns at Nara Rinka, and said in a deep voice.

"I wouldn't deliberately go easy on you."

The voice just fell.

The five-tailed Muo spread its limbs and charged forward on the ground, rushing to Nara Rinka in the blink of an eye.

A new task prompt will then pop up on the panel.

[S-rank ninja battle mission detected!]
