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

Chapter 198 The Youngest Nara Clan Chief in History!

Just as Nara Rinka and Goo-no-Kou were gazing deeply into each other's eyes.

The Nara ninjas stationed in Nara Forest also noticed the enormous chakra that suddenly descended into the forest, as well as the unknown white shadow that almost exceeded the forest's height limit.

In an instant, several Nara ninjas rushed towards the source of the chakra, while simultaneously sending word back to their clans that "Naramori was suspected of being attacked by an unknown ninja beast."

However, when the Nara ninjas who were checking the situation actually saw the Five-Tails, Kokuou, they were all speechless with surprise.

Nara Rinka and Go-o Muou looked away from each other, glancing at the family members who had rushed over upon hearing the news, and waved their hands somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry everyone, I may have made a bit of a commotion."

"Aba aba—"

The leader of the Nara ninjas staggered forward, staring at the beautiful body of the Five-Tails, Kokuou, and stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word.

This Nara ninja appeared to be in his early twenties, wearing a green vest. What was particularly striking was that he had deliberately styled his pineapple-shaped hair into a forked shape resembling deer antlers.

You can roughly tell a person's personality just by looking at their hairstyle.

Nara Rinka recognized the other party's identity and took the initiative to speak, "Brother Suzaku, please tell me what's on your mind."

"Abba—"

Nara Suzaku slapped himself hard across the face, quickly correcting his stutter, and looked at Nara Rinka with an intensely fervent expression.

"Lord Lan Gui! Where did you find this ninja deer?! It's absolutely gorgeous!!!"

Suzaku Nara was considerably older than Rankei Nara.

Logically speaking, he didn't need to be treated with such respect.

However, in the past few months...

The low-level techniques, such as the Shadow Imitation Technique, submitted by Nara Rinkei to the clan have already spread to almost every ninja of the Nara clan under Nara Shikano's leadership.

Whether it's the [Shadow Imitation Technique] or the more advanced [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting], it's all about this technique.

As beneficiaries, every ninja of the Nara clan held Nara Rangsuke in high esteem.

However, despite this, Suzaku Nara's attitude is now almost beyond the scope of "reverence".

Before Nara Rinka could speak, Go-O Kokuo directly corrected him.

"Nara Ninja!"

Through the family crest, the Five-Tailed King Kokuo has already recognized the origins of Suzaku Nara.

"I am not a deer!"

"It can even talk...hehe...the great white deer..."

Suzaku Nara was lost in some indescribable and wonderful fantasy.

Not only Suzaku Nara, but the other Nara ninjas who arrived with him also had similar expressions.

The Five-Tailed King looked at the Nara clan ninjas with a hint of dread, its five long, snow-white tails swaying behind it slightly bristling.

What happened?!

Are there no normal people among the Nara clan's ninjas, from the clan leader down to the lowest members?

These ninjas didn't emanate any fear or hostility, but the...perverted feeling that emanated from their words and actions was even more terrifying than any hostility or fear!

"May you win the laurel wreath!"

The five-tailed Mu-o took a step back with some unease.

"You'd better control your family members!"

"I'm sorry, King Mu, I've startled you."

Nara Rinka looked at his teammates with some distress, feeling utterly disgusted by their infatuated behavior.

Isn't that just the Five-Tailed King Kokuo?

Isn't that the strongest ninja in the world, the White Deer?

chirp-

Is it really necessary to go this far?!

[Strange Power]!

Nara Rinkei slightly raised his fingers, gathering the chakra within his body. A powerful surge of energy erupted from his body, transforming into a whirlwind that crashed towards the Nara ninjas present.

"Everyone, wake up!"

Nara Rinka's angry shouts finally brought these Nara ninjas back to their senses.

"You guys are so embarrassing right now!"

"This is only our first meeting, and you're already this crazy. What are we going to do in the future?"

"The future? What future?"

Nara Suzaku was forced back several steps by the whirlwind created by [Super Strength], his eyes fixed on the direction of the Five-Tailed King Kokuou, while his mouth was aimed at Nara Rangsuke, asking him a question.

"Lord Lan Gui, are you planning to entrust this white deer ninja beast to Naramori?"

"I swear I'm willing to take care of it—"

Bang!

Before Suzaku Nara could finish speaking, the Five-Tailed King Kokuou's body exploded into a cloud of smoke.

In an instant, several Nara ninjas could no longer restrain themselves and burst into the white smoke that the Five-Tails Kokuou had transformed into.

"It's gone! It's gone!"

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

"Damn it! Was I just under a spell? Why?!"

A frenzied roar came from the smoke.

Nara Rinka just wants to cover her face.

He really didn't want to admit that he and these crazy guys were actually ninjas from the Nara clan.

As Nara, he felt sorry.

Nara Rinka didn't want to waste any more energy explaining to these lunatics that "the Five-Tailed Beast is just the Five-Tailed Beast, not the Great White Deer, and certainly not their wife."

Anyway, everything will be explained once the Five-Tails settles down in Naramori in the future.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

Nara Rinka's figure vanished instantly, but using the pre-engraved mark, he returned directly from Nara Mori to Kikyo-yama.

Compared to appeasing those crazy fellow clansmen, Nara Rankei believed that appeasing the Five-Tailed King was a more important matter.

He had to make the Five-Tailed King understand something.

He is himself, and his family is his family.

The ninjas of the Nara clan are all suffering from severe deer-obsession syndrome.

This does not mean that Nara Rangsei is also suffering from severe deer obsession.

His chronic deer-like disorder had long been cured with the help of the Five-Tailed King Mu...

Just as Nara was sincerely comforting Go-o Koku-ou.

Kikyo Castle, the residence of the Nara clan.

An urgent message from Naramori was transmitted back.

Just then, a new family meeting was being held in Nara Kano, and this urgent message was directly passed on to the family meeting.

"Naramori was suspected of being attacked by an unknown ninja beast? It turns out to be the White Deer Ninja Beast from Langui?"

Nara Kano clutched the small communication scroll, really wanting to use the [Shadow Gathering Technique] to whip his fellow tribesmen stationed in Nara Forest.

What white deer?

That's the Five-Tailed King Mu!

A super white deer of tailed beast level!

"Gentlemen."

Nara Kano snapped the scroll in his hand and looked at the group of bored elderly men with pineapple-shaped haircuts across from him.

"Did you all hear my suggestion clearly?"

In response to the words of the outdated clan chief, a group of Nara elders replied listlessly.

"Okay, okay."

"Wasn't it already decided beforehand that Lan Gui would be the clan chief?"

"Kano, I think I need to give you a piece of my mind. Do you usually like to procrastinate like this?"

"This is so annoying. If I had known it would be such a boring meeting, I wouldn't have left Naramori."

Amidst the cacophony of responses, there were many complaints.

An elder from Nara, who was standing relatively close by, rested his chin on his hand and asked the old clan head who was presiding over the meeting.

"Hey, Kano, while I wouldn't mind changing the clan leader, have you discussed this with Shikaku?"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Nara Kano remained silent for a moment.

"...I forgot. Anyway, I think Shikaku will understand."

Nara Kano cleared his throat.

"Now, the decision regarding the succession of the clan leader has been discussed and approved by the clan meeting!"

"Yay! Let's go!"

Goodbye, Kano.

Don't contact me again next time.

Looking at this group of lazy Nara elders.

Nara Kano leaned back and sighed softly.

"Sigh, it seems nobody cares about the Five-Tails..."

Upon hearing this, it was as if someone had used a space-time ninjutsu to press a pause button in the Japanese-style meeting room.

The Nara elders, who were preparing to leave, froze on the spot.

"Five-Tails? What five-tailed beast?"

"I've heard the news! Lan Gui has inflicted a major defeat on Iwagakure at the front! Could it be...?"

"Did Lan Gui really bring the Five-Tails back?"

Nara Kano looked relaxed.

"Aren't you all leaving?"

A group of Nara elders sat back down and responded meticulously.

"Clan leader, as you know, I have devoted myself to the clan. Lan Gui is the clan's most promising junior. I wholeheartedly support Lan Gui becoming the new clan leader."

"To revive Nara's glory and seize the crown of honor is our inescapable duty!"

Why sleep so much before death? You'll have plenty of time to sleep after you die.

"Let Shikaku suffer a little longer..."

All the words and phrases, in the end, boil down to just two words.

"Five tails?"

"I made it very clear last time that when Lan Gui makes any new innovations in ninjutsu, I will tell him that I recommend him as the new clan leader."

Nara Kano deliberately avoided bringing up the topic of the Five-Tails at this moment, and instead spoke directly.

"Besides informing everyone that a change of clan leader is imminent, I've also convened this meeting to announce that Lan Gui has developed several advanced shadow techniques and shared them with the clan!"

"sharp."

"genius."

"Long live the youngest clan leader in history!"

An elder from Nara below gave a perfunctory clapping, then followed up with a question.

"Five tails?"

"Afterwards, I will store these three B-rank ninjutsu, named [Shadow Piercing Bullet], [Shadow Binding Bullet], and [Shadow Mimic Bullet], in the Rokumeikan and open the learning qualification of these three techniques to the Jonin of the clan."

Nara Kano finished explaining his entire plan before bringing up the topic of the Five-Tails.

"Just as you all thought, Lan Gui defeated the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, brought the Five-Tails back to the village, and has just signed a summoning contract with the Five-Tails!"

A moment of silence fell over the Japanese-style conference room.

The Nara elders immediately rushed out.

But a moment later, they rushed back.

"Kano, where are the five tails—no, where's Lan Gui?"

"Speak quickly! Don't force me to take action!"

Nara Kano stroked his beard and pointed out the window.

"Kikyoyama? Or Naramori. Go find them yourselves."

One after another, shadow beasts soared into the sky from the Nara clan's territory, carrying Nara elders, and flew straight to the outskirts of Kikyo Castle.

The sight of the Nara clan almost swarming out immediately attracted the attention of many people in Kikyo Castle, but after a long period of anxious anticipation, they found no further developments.

A swarm of shadow beasts rushed into Mount Kikyo, and after a thorough search, they finally located the Five-Tails.

"Lan Gui! After unanimous discussion within the clan, you are now the new head of the Nara clan!"

The Nara elders tossed a remark at the somewhat bewildered Nara Rinka, then fixed their gazes on the Five-Tails, revealing smiles almost identical to those of Nara Suzaku and the others from before.

"Five-Tails...hehe...Five-Tails..."

Second update, goodnight everyone.
