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

Chapter 201 An Overwhelming Reserve of S-Rank Techniques! (Third Update, 10,000 Words, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Are you teaching me to do things?

Looking at the lavish, fat sheep, Nara Ranke really wanted to straighten his back and make a loud kiss.

Unfortunately, his teeth were indeed not good, so he could not talk big and was only suitable for eating good food.

Nara Rinka gestured for Tsunade to sit down and rest.

He then separated a large number of [Shadow Clones] and [Shadow Shadow Clones] to help organize the massive amount of spell scrolls he had just acquired.

at the same time.

Nara Rinkachi then had his clones transfer all the technique scrolls previously sealed within the B-rank ninja tool [Summoning Scroll] to the [Sealing Scroll].

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Nara Rinka will be working with the [Sealing Scroll] from now on.

As a researcher, it's perfectly normal to carry around some storage scrolls, right?

Looking at the numerous clones of Nara Rinka scattered throughout the underground research base, Tsunade finally understood why the other party could produce such significant research results in such a short period of time.

"However, creating so many shadow clones would drastically reduce a ninja's stamina and willpower, but Nara has never experienced a lack of energy; on the contrary, his physical condition was previously incredibly weak..."

Tsunade couldn't understand Nara Rinka's "abnormal growth rate".

But just like Hiruzen Sarutobi before him.

Even if Tsunade didn't know the source of Nara Rin's strength, she wouldn't deliberately try to find out his secrets at this time, as a sign of respect for Nara Rin.

With the help of his many clones, Nara Rinka quickly inventoried the ninja tool scrolls in the underground research base, and then focused his mind on the nearly fifty technique scrolls he had just acquired.

According to the information on the panel, among the nearly fifty scrolls of techniques, the quality of Wood Release far surpasses that of Water Release, and Water Release far surpasses that of Earth Release.

In terms of ninjutsu ranking, Hashirama Senju's techniques were mainly S-rank Wood Release.

Tobirama Senju primarily used A-rank Water Release techniques in his battles.

This also shows the difference in strength between the First and Second Hokage.

As for Earth Release ninjutsu...

Nara Rinka had no idea where Tsunade had found this Earth Release ninjutsu.

Of the nine Earth Release ninjutsu, the only A-rank ninjutsu is [Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld].

This is an A-rank Earth Release ninjutsu that can turn the earth into a huge swamp. It has a very large range of use, and once you get trapped in it, it is very difficult to get out. It has a special effect on many large summoned beasts.

As for the other Earth Release ninjutsu...

"The Earth Release ninjutsu of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) mostly focuses on the solidity of Earth Release, employing various types of Rock Release ninjutsu, including all sorts of small and large clods of earth."

Nara Rinka reviewed the various Earth Release ninjutsu he possessed and compared the differences between them.

"However, Konoha's Earth Release ninjutsu focuses on the flexible nature of Earth Release..."

"Rank B techniques like [Earth Flow River], [Earth Flow Slash], [Earth Flow Castle Wall], [Earth Flow Wall], and Rank A techniques like [Swamp of the Underworld]... it's a veritable hodgepodge of earth-flow ninjutsu."

"Rather than a simple Earth Release technique, it's more like a combination of Earth Release and Water Release, mixing water into the earth to create flowing mud... Is this some kind of unique feature of Konoha?"

Nara Rinka shook his head slightly, no longer paying attention to any earth-style ninjutsu.

Although with the quantity and quality of the Earth Release ninjutsu he currently possesses, he is fully capable of competing with the Fourth Tsuchikage of the neighboring Iwagakure village...

Nara Rinka focused his attention on the large number of Wood Release and Water Release techniques.

Especially the 11 Wood Release and Water Release techniques with a total S-rank rating.

"The S-rank techniques—[Wood Dragon Technique], [Wood Human Technique], [Adventure of the Tree World], and [Adventure of the Flower Tree World]—can all be categorized under the form transformations of Wood Release."

"The only interesting part is the 'Birth of the Flowering Trees,' but it's still a plant-induced growth process that uses pollen to hypnotize enemies; it's not exactly a sophisticated tactic."

Nara Rinka focused his attention on several other S-rank Wood Release ninjutsu.

"The S-rank technique, [Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands], while seemingly S-rank, is actually an understatement. After all, its original name should be [Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha]!"

How would you rate the [Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha]?

Pinching off the nine tails is like pinching off a chick.

That's roughly the level of power.

Unfortunately, none of the scrolls of techniques brought by Tsunade contained any content related to Sage Mode.

Even the Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands technique is merely a weakened version.

To unleash the true power of Wood Release.

The most indispensable thing is the big pillar—cough!

To be precise, firstly, it must be the amount of chakra that Hashirama Senju possesses, and secondly, it must be a sufficient amount of natural energy!

Both are indispensable.

Nara Rinka has neither the Great Pillar's "Chatonra," nor the Great Pillar's "Sage Mode," nor the Great Pillar's "Wood Release Kekkei."

Although he was very interested in the [Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands], he could only let it lie obediently on the panel and wait for the future.

For Nara Rinka, among the Wood Release techniques brought by Tsunade, the one with the most remarkable effect was not [Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands], but several other techniques.

S-Rank Technique: Wood Release: Myōjinmon!

S-rank technique: Wood Release: Ranking Technique!

S-rank technique: Wood Release: Kouan Enters the Palace with Hands Down!

Next is the A-rank technique, [Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique]!

These S-rank and A-rank techniques are genuine examples of the combination of Wood Release and sealing techniques, and are no longer just fragments of the "Wood Dragon Technique".

Among them, [Wood Release: Myojinmon] and [Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands] are both "upgraded versions of Sage Art".

【Immortal Techniques - Bright Divine Gate】.

It was even able to temporarily seal away the rampaging Ten-Tails.

This is its "original power".

If it were just a simple [Wood Release: Myojinmon].

Its effect on the current Nara Ploughing is not as great as that of the [Wood Release: Ranking Technique].

[S-Rank Bloodline Limit Sealing Technique: Wood Release: Ranking Technique]

[Technique Description: A grotesque Wood Release face, resembling a demon! It devours even calamities!]

[Technique Effect: Transforms one's own chakra into the "Wood" nature through nature transformation, and creates a hideous and enormous demon mask through the form transformation of Wood Release chakra.]

By utilizing the unique properties of Wood Release, a non-elemental sealing technique is fused into the Demon Mask, greatly amplifying its defensive power, making it a technique capable of absolute defense.

[Surgery Evaluation: That's it?]

Nara Ranka rarely sees panels using descriptive terms like "absolute defense" or "deadly strike" to refer to a particular technique.

The last time I saw a similar "absolute effect" was with Onoki's [Dust Release: Particle Style Technique].

And [Wood Release: Ranking Technique]...

Nara Rinka recalled its defensive effects.

It wasn't actually that exaggerated.

At best, it only managed to withstand the Tailed Beast Ball exploding close to Madara Uchiha's face in his Armored Susanoo form, without sustaining any damage itself.

"Currently, my strongest defensive ability is the A-rank technique, 'Shadow Armor Technique,' developed based on 'Shadow Shield Technique' and 'Mechanical Shield Seal.' This is also the foundation of my 'Black Knight' defense."

Nara Rinka gazed at the [Wood Release: Ranking Technique] on the panel, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"If I were to integrate the defensive effects of [Wood Release: Ranking Technique] into [Shadow Armor Technique], then the defensive capabilities of my [Black Knight] would undoubtedly receive a qualitative leap!"

"The key is, this kind of operation isn't difficult for me!"

Inspired by the Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, Nara Rinkei has recently been immersed in research on the fusion of Shadow Technique and artificial meridian systems.

That self-developed S-rank technique, [Shadow Concealment Technique], perfectly utilizes this point.

Nara Rinka is very confident in advancing the fusion of the Wood Release: Ranking Technique and the Shadow Armor Technique.

As for the other S-rank Wood Release ninjutsu...

【Wood Release: Myojinmon】 is used to suppress tailed beasts.

【Wood Release: Kouan Enters the Gate with Hands Down】, its function is to suppress the tailed beast.

The remaining A-rank technique, [Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique], is also a Wood Release ninjutsu that incorporates sealing techniques, and its effect is binding.

Well, it didn't have any extra effect.

However, due to the difficulty of ninjutsu, the [Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique] is easier for Nara Rinka to master.

Perhaps this [Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique] will become the key to unlocking the combination of [Shadow Technique] and [Sealing Technique]...

After browsing through several S-rank Wood Release ninjutsu, Nara Rinkei turned his attention to three more S-rank Water Release techniques.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

The three S-rank Water Release ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, are naturally powerful.

However, it pales in comparison to Wood Release.

S-rank technique [Water Release: Water Severing Wave], a super high-pressure water gun.

S-rank technique [Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade], a spiral high-pressure water gun.

S-rank technique [Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Explosion], an air-to-ground water dragon cannonball.

Nara Rinka once saw Uchiha Kagami use this technique. The effect seemed incredibly flashy, but in reality, it couldn't even keep up with the speed of the [Shadow Creature], and in terms of attack frequency, it couldn't even compare to the A-rank [Water Release: Rain Formation].

Nara Rinka carefully reviewed the remaining, relatively basic techniques, hoping to find some inspiration.

A-rank technique [Water Release: Instant Water]...

A-rank technique [Water Release: Heavenly Cry]...

Rank B Technique [Wood Release: Four Pillars Technique]...

Rank B Technique: Earth Release: Great River of Earth...

Although most of these techniques were, in Nara Rinkei's view, "morphological transformation ninjutsu" of varying degrees of refinement.

However, there are still a few techniques that can be quite effective in helping Nara Raise Katsura.

After browsing through all the scrolls of techniques, Nara Rinka finally looked at his own attribute panel.

Having learned nearly fifty techniques, his [Ninjutsu] and [Wisdom] attributes have taken another step closer to S-rank.

If it's true that before Tsunade arrived, Nara Ranka's [Ninjutsu] and [Wisdom] attributes would take a long time to undergo a qualitative change.

With the assistance of these dozens of techniques, his two attributes are not far from achieving an S-rank rating!

"I really don't know what the first attribute will be to be upgraded to an S-rank..."

Nara closed the panel and looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade was resting her chin on her hand, looking at Nara Rinka, who was engrossed in reading, with a bored expression.

Upon seeing the other person turn around, Tsunade's beautiful face instantly blossomed into a smile.

"How are they? Are these scrolls helpful for your research on Wood Release?"

"Very helpful!"

Nara Rinka gave a thumbs-up, praising him from the bottom of his heart.

Tsunade brought many S-rank Wood Release techniques, but there were also many low-rank Wood Release techniques as well.

Techniques like [Wood Release: Wood Transformation], [Wood Release: Wood Substitution], and [Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique] are all only C-rank ninjutsu.

Nara Rinka currently possesses only one living White Zetsu, a high-quality White Zetsu comparable to an ordinary Jonin.

Despite this, the White Zetsu's chakra reserves were still insufficient to support the use of advanced Wood Release techniques.

Nara Rinka wanted to use this White Zetsu to test the effects of the S-rank Wood Release, which was purely to make things difficult for the other party.

However, it is relatively easy for it to use some C-rank Wood Release techniques with its body.

Nara Rinka himself did not need to experiment with advanced Wood Release ninjutsu; all he needed was the fusion and formulation of Wood Release chakra.

Knowing that the Wood Release technique is a fusion of Water Release and Earth Release, Nara Rinkei's only shortcoming in replicating the Wood Release bloodline limit is a large amount of experimental data!

In this situation, whether it's a low-level Wood Release technique or a high-level Wood Release technique, the experimental data provided will have the same effect.

Nara Rinka is quite optimistic about the speed at which he is researching Wood Release.

The only problem is...

Can his replica of Wood Release truly compare to—not to mention the Great Pillar—Yamato's Wood Release?

But there is another problem.

However, that's not the Nara area.

It's Tsunade's side, not Tsunade's.

"Tsunade, have you thought about how to increase your chakra reserves?"

Why did you suddenly bring up this topic?

Tsunade was somewhat puzzled. She raised her hand and looked at her fair and delicate palm.

"I'm well past my developmental stage, so there's basically no way I can increase my chakra reserves anymore."

"If one day I really manage to replicate the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, have you thought about how you would use it?"

Nara Rinka reminded him.

"Do you remember the scene when White Zetsu used Wood Release last time? The [Wood Dragon Technique] it used, compared to a real wood dragon... you should be able to understand the difference between the two."

"Of course I understand."

Tsunade said helplessly.

"But I really can't increase my chakra reserves..."

"Although I've been working really hard to build up my chakra."

Nara Rinka, of course, knew what Tsunade meant by "accumulating chakra"—the Yin Seal.

"I happen to know a method that can slowly improve physical fitness. Would you like to learn it?"

"What?"

Have you ever heard of "magic arts"?

"Celestial arts?!"

Tsunade understood and was greatly shocked.

"Nara, you know magic?!"

As a summoner of Shikkotsu Forest, how could Tsunade not know about the existence of Sage Mode?

The master of Shikkut Forest, the Living Slug, is an immortal who has lived for a very long time!

"Just some superficial understanding."

Nara Rinka explained.

"Its origin is the Temple of Fire."

"No wonder..."

Tsunade blinked.

"No wonder!"

She had just been wondering why Nara's physical abilities had increased so dramatically.

So it was the result of the Fire Temple's sage magic?!

"I want to learn... but is that okay?"

"no problem."

Before Nara Rinkachi was promoted to clan leader, he wanted to teach Tsunade Sage Mode, so he had to consult the old clan leader's attitude and opinion.

But now he is the clan leader, and he can do whatever he wants!

As a Kage-level powerhouse, especially a support-type Kage-level powerhouse, Tsunade's chakra reserves can definitely be described as "massive".

Based on the panel's evaluation, Tsunade's [Precision] attribute is definitely at the A+ level!

However, compared to Wood Release, this level of chakra seems so insignificant.

If Tsunade wants to replicate the glory of the Senju clan, she must increase her chakra reserves.

And to increase chakra reserves...

There are many methods, but Nara Rangsuke can only offer the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] and the [Immortal Clan Breathing Technique] at present.

These two basic sage techniques of the Fire Temple are of low level and progress slowly.

But its advantage lies in its safety and reliability.

There will be no "petrification" or even "beastification" of the body.

For Tsunade, the head of the medical department stationed at the rear, this was the perfect type of ninjutsu training.

"The key to cultivating immortal arts lies in stillness."

Nara Rinka walked up to her with a serious expression, placed his hands on Tsunade's shoulders, and said with utmost sincerity.

"I want to cultivate immortal arts."

"First, I need you to lie down..."

Unexpectedly... I'm late again.

It seems there's no hope for this delayed update.

Three updates tomorrow.

The update will likely still be around 3 PM.
