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

Chapter 194 S-Rank Ninja Scroll Reward!

The Black Warrior's jet-black iron fist stopped in front of the Five-Tailed King Kokuo.

The violent force of the punches caused the Five-Tailed King Kokuo's white fur to be blown into obedience.

The moment the panel message popped up, Nara Rinka controlled the [Black Warrior] and stopped its continued attack on the Five-Tailed King.

Seeing this, King Goku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

King Mu knew very well that it had not used its full strength. Just like the Tailed Beast Ball, a technique commonly used by the Tailed Beasts, it had not been shown at all in the battle just now.

However, King Mu also believed that Nara had held back in his pursuit of the cassia tree.

As a ninja, he only used brute force to fight it.

The Five-Tails, Kokuou, did not believe that Nara Rinka was not skilled in other ninjutsu.

Putting everything else aside, if Nara Rinka flew up into the sky, the Five-Tailed King Kokuo would basically have no way to deal with it.

Furthermore, the strange "giant ninjutsu" that Nara Rinko used at the last moment...

An unpleasant memory inexplicably surfaced in the mind of the Five-Tailed King.

Back then, when the man named Hashirama Senju captured it, he also used an enormous wooden dummy ninjutsu to grab its body and almost perfectly suppress its chakra power as a tailed beast.

In Nara Rinkazuki, the Five-Tails Kokuou vaguely saw the shadow of the man named Senju Hashirama.

In particular, the Five-Tailed King Kokuou sensed the presence of natural energy around Nara Rinka's body!

Apart from the Nine-Tails, the other tailed beasts basically do not have a way to manipulate or interfere with natural energy, but this does not mean that the tailed beasts are unaware of the existence and power of natural energy.

Faced with Nara Ranke, who was deliberately holding back but still almost defeated him, Go-O Kokuou could hardly help but acknowledge the opponent's strength.

No—it's power.

The colossal figure of the Black Warrior gradually dissipated into the air, and the Shadow Slap Technique that was originally applied to the Five-Tailed King Kokuo was released from its binding effect at this moment.

"It seems we can proceed to the next step as agreed."

Nara Rinka revealed its true form, beaming as it looked at the five-tailed beast, Koku-ou, who was standing close at hand.

"Just as we agreed, sign a contract with me and become my summoned beast!"

The five-tailed Kokuou prostrated its enormous body before Nara Rinka, quietly awaiting the other's move.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nara Rinka, following the contract method described in the [Summoning Technique], bit his own finger and used his blood as a medium to inscribe the corresponding contract technique on the body of the Five-Tailed King Kokuou.

A moment later.

A meticulously crafted contract spell was imprinted on the body of the Five-Tailed King Mu, its crimson blood and snow-white fur reflecting each other before quickly disappearing into the void.

The psychic contract is complete!

Nara Rinka clearly felt that from this moment on, there was a subtle temporal and spatial connection between him and the Five-Tailed King Kokuou.

He can use this connection at any time to summon the Five-Tails Kokuo using the [Summoning Technique], or use the [Reverse Summoning Technique] to go to the Five-Tails Kokuo's side.

A thought flashed through Nara Rinka's mind.

"I just don't know exactly how much energy is consumed when using the [Spirit Communication Technique] on King Mu... I'll have to test it later."

At this moment, the Five-Tailed King also felt the warm blood of Nara Rinka flowing into its body, and also sensed the connection in the dark.

"You really are a good ninja who keeps his promises."

The Five-Tailed King looked at Nara Rinka with increasingly gentle and trusting eyes, his sea-blue eyes brimming with human tenderness.

"Nara Osmanthus, I adore you."

"I like you very much too, King Mu."

Nara Rinka boldly reached out and rubbed the head of the Five-Tailed King, whose silky white fur made him feel so comfortable that he just wanted to lie on it and sleep all day.

"King Mu, let's go and meet those people over there first."

"it is good."

The Five-Tails, Kokuou, allowed Nara to climb onto its head and then carried it towards the other Konoha ninja.

Upon seeing Nara Rinka arrive riding the Five-Tails, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others knew perfectly well that the other party had already completed the operation he had mentioned earlier—signing a summoning contract with the Five-Tails!

This is indeed a major news story that could shake Konoha and even the entire ninja world!

The already renowned Dark Shadow has now formed a contract with the Five-Tails, and the combined power of the two is simply unimaginable.

But what shocked Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others even more was the strength that Nara Rinkei had displayed in the battle just now.

Wasn't it said that the Dark Shadow was actually a secret technique ninja who became famous for his flying ability and unspelled ninjutsu?

What was that towering, imposing shadowy giant that just now smashed the five-tailed fox head-on?!

Among them, Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha, who knew about the existence of the "Black Warrior" in advance, were even more shocked.

I thought that "Giant Ninjutsu" was some kind of forbidden, life-sucking technique, but judging from the battle just now... it's actually one of Nara Rinka's regular ninjutsu?

Especially Uchiha Kagami, he wanted to see if Nara Rinka's eyes were the "Eternal Kaleidoscope" taught by Uchiha Madara!

"But Madara-sama never said that the pupils would turn pure black after the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is activated..."

"Clan leader, Brother Shuimen... I have not failed you."

Nara Rinka sat cross-legged on the head of the Five-Tailed King, greeting everyone below.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take King Mu to familiarize himself with the surroundings first."

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Nara captured the Five-Tails, unsealed the Five-Tails, and formed a contract with the Five-Tails... It can be said that he accomplished almost all of these tasks in one go.

The only role Konoha played in this matter was probably... changing the location of the contract signing from the front lines back to the village.

In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only manage to utter a dry, unhelpful instruction.

"be safe."

"certainly."

Nara Rinka reached out and touched the snow-white down on the head of the Five-Tailed King.

"King Mu's size is a bit too large. If he were to appear in front of ordinary people so suddenly, it could easily cause widespread panic. I will not take him back to Kikyo Castle for the time being."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, and the others nodded slightly.

Konoha is not without tailed beasts.

But this is the first time they have a "semi-wild" tailed beast.

Nara's current approach to the laurel wreath is undoubtedly quite prudent.

Of course, the safest approach would be to seal the Five-Tails away, just like the Nine-Tails did.

However, Konoha could not find a suitable Jinchuriki candidate in the short term.

Moreover... he couldn't overcome Nara's unwavering determination.

"Fine, making a summoning contract with the Five-Tails isn't a bad way to control the power of the tailed beast."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly.

Nara successfully secured a contract with the Five-Tails, further ensuring his overall strength.

As long as Nara Rinka remains in Konoha's camp, Hiruzen Sarutobi won't bother interfering with her actions unless she goes too far.

"Instead of worrying about the Five-Tails going out of control, we should think about where to send Nara Rinka and the Five-Tails to the next battlefield..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's inner thoughts remain unknown.

After greeting these people, Nara Rangsuke patted Go-O's head.

"Let's go, King Mu, we can visit this place first... Actually, this is the Valley of the End, the place where the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha fought..."

The snow-white body of the Five-Tailed King Mu gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Hokage-sama, Minato, see you next time!"

After uttering those words, Nara Kano also used [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting] to catch up with the Five-Tails.

"Five-tailed beast, laurel wreath, wait for me!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the hurried Nara Shikano, completely baffled.

"Whether it's Nara Kano or Nara Ranka... why are they so obsessed with the power of the Five-Tails?"

Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha were also considering similar questions, but they also couldn't find an answer.

The bewildered group was quickly forgotten.

Nara Rinka rode the five-tailed Kokuou and quickly arrived at the cliffside of the Valley of the End.

The five-tailed Muwang leaped lightly over the cliff and tumbled down into the wide expanse of water below, landing heavily and creating a huge splash.

"Ah, this feels so good!"

The five-tailed Mu-o flapped its limbs, swimming nimbly in the water like a spirited dolphin, uttering joyful and carefree exclamations.

Nara Rinka used the Shadow Shield Technique to avoid the water droplets that had just been scattered all over the sky.

"King Mu, the old clan chief has caught up."

"What's he doing here?"

The Five-Tailed King stopped swimming with some confusion, looked up at the sky, and saw Nara Kano riding a shadow beast towards him.

"Nara Ranka, his ninjutsu is similar to yours."

"Because that was the ninjutsu I developed."

Nara Rinka explained.

"Speaking of which, King Mu, would you like to learn some other ninjutsu later?"

Tailed beasts possess unique and innate abilities, but most of them only know how to use their bodies to fight.

For example, the Five-Tailed King, whether it is "Five Mountains Jump" or "Horn Break", is actually just a simple physical technique that uses the body. In essence, it is just "kicking" and "horn striking".

Of course, as tailed beasts, apart from a very few ninjas, there is basically no force in the ninja world that can threaten them.

It's understandable that the Five-Tailed King, Kokuou, didn't fully develop its abilities.

However, as a contractor, Nara Rangsuke still hopes that the Five-Tailed King Kokuou can become stronger.

"Let's talk about this later..."

The Five-Tailed King did not give a clear answer.

"The Five-Tailed Fox—King Mu, is that right?"

Nara Kano arrived at the water's surface just in time, and with the help of [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting], barely managed to keep his gaze level with that of the Five-Tailed King Kokuou.

"What a beautiful name!"

"Ninjas of the Nara clan."

"It is the Five-Tailed King Mu who spoke."

"What are you doing here?"

"Um, I wanted to discuss your future living environment with you."

Nara Shikano suppressed his excitement and began to formally communicate with the Five-Tailed King.

"I heard from Lan Gui that King Mu preferred to live in the forest?"

"Yes."

When the other party got down to business, the Five-Tailed King nodded in response.

Tailed beasts are not human, but they are not completely ignorant of the rules of the human world.

For the sake of their future quality of life, Go-o Kokuou began to have serious discussions and exchanges with Nara Shikano.

Nara Rinkachi had a brief moment of free time, so he took the opportunity to examine the S-rank [Ninja Scroll] he had just acquired.

"I wonder what kind of content King Mu's S-rank scroll might contain..."

Nara Rinkachi's mind flashed through the many abilities possessed by the Five-Tailed King Kokuou.

"Just open it!"

Nara Ranka secretly stroked the fur of the Five-Tailed King Kokuou, hoping to get some good luck from it.
