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

Chapter 205 The AB combination of Kumogakure!

"hehe!"

Nara Rinka sneered twice; he didn't think Shimura Danzo would be so easily defeated.

However, if we can take this opportunity to completely eliminate this "old root" buried in the darkness...

Nara Langui didn't mind at all.

Where is Danzo Shimura now?

Nara Shikaku replied, "They probably returned to Konoha secretly under the escort of Root ninjas."

"it's a pity……"

Nara Rinka sighed softly.

Suffering a severe injury on the battlefield, with the right side of the body almost completely destroyed, can easily create the illusion of an accidental death.

What a great opportunity, wasted.

Nara Shikaku sensed regret in the new commander's tone, his eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't offer any comment.

What does Danzo Shimura's life or death have to do with him?

"Brother Shikaku, I received another message from the Third Hokage."

Nara Rankei mentioned the two previous support personnel in his squad.

"Brother Minato should have arrived in the Land of Hot Springs by now, right? How are they doing?"

"Minato... is amazing."

Nara Shikaku sighed.

"We, the remnants of our army, were struggling against the annihilation of the Cloud Village's ninja forces when Minato arrived and cleanly and efficiently killed all the Cloud Village ninja present."

"Our small, barely cohesive unit was only able to be assembled with the help of Minato."

Nara Rinka glanced at the other Konoha ninja present.

This almost disorganized force consisted of only a few dozen scattered personnel, most of whom were wounded and unlikely to be able to participate in combat in the short term.

Not only the other ninjas, but also Nara Shikaku, who was standing in front of Nara Ranke, had two terrifying scars on his cheeks. One cut open his right cheek, and the other almost cut open his right temple.

The location of these two scars is enough to tell just how dangerous the previous battle was.

Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Rei, and Shizune were moving through the crowd, offering whatever help they could to the wounded soldiers.

Especially the silent mode.

The appearance of the medical ninja was of great significance to this small unit.

"As for Minato's current location... I don't know either."

Nara Shikaku raised his hand and pointed to the eleven o'clock position ahead.

"After gathering our remaining forces together, Minato, along with another ninja wearing a mask and with wings on his back, headed directly in that direction without taking any other forces with him."

"I imagine the two of them are still entangled with the Cloud Village forces on the front lines."

Nara Rinka nodded slightly and took the initiative to ask.

"Brother Shikaku, do you think I should go to the front lines to provide support, or stay behind to oversee the situation? Or should I send personnel to gather the remaining scattered troops?"

Nara Shikaku did not answer immediately, but instead looked at Uchiha Shisui and the others.

"Chieftain, who are the members of your squad?"

Nara Rinka readily replied, "Instantaneous stillness, Hyuga Rei, Shizune."

"Shunshen Shisui..."

Nara Shikaku instantly identified the key figure.

Every ninja with a title is extraordinary.

Moreover, there is another "Hyuga" in existence.

"Chieftain, I think we can do these three things at the same time."

Nara Shikaku took the lead and offered a three-pronged approach.

"Clan leader, you will lead the Five-Tails to the front lines to support Minato and his other companion."

"I used the [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting] to search for lone Konoha ninjas in the surrounding area with that Hyuga clan ninja;

"As for Shisui, the other medical team member can stay here to provide some protection for everyone."

Nara Rinka nodded slightly and gave a soft shout.

"Shisui! Hinata!"

Upon hearing the captain's call, Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Rei quickly emerged from the crowd.

"This is Nara Shikaku, he is... currently the Chief of Staff of the Cloud Village battlefield."

Nara Rinkaru casually arranged a new identity for Nara Shikaku.

"Shisui, Hyuga, you two will follow Shikaku's instructions from now on."

"Also, Shisui, could I borrow your Flame Fan for a while?"

The Cloud Ninja are skilled in Lightning Release.

Wind Release ninjutsu can be used to counter them.

However, Nara Rinkei's skill in Wind Release ninjutsu was not particularly impressive.

It's okay for dealing with ordinary ninjas, but it's not up to the task when it comes to opponents like the Third Raikage or the AB duo.

Therefore, Nara Rinka set his sights on the Flame Fan carried by Uchiha Shisui.

Resist all things, and turn all things into a fierce headwind!

The Flame Fan can absorb any ninjutsu attack it receives and reflect it back as wind.

Against Cloud Village ninjas skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu, the [Flame Fan] is truly a top-tier divine weapon!

"Of course, no problem!"

Uchiha Shisui readily released the restraints on the Flame Fan and handed it to the captain.

"But Captain, do you know how to use the [Flame Fan]?"

The news that Uchiha Shisui "accidentally" obtained the Flame Fan on the battlefield caused a small ripple within the Uchiha clan.

Although some Uchiha ninjas felt there were many suspicious points in this matter.

However, most Uchiha were happy to have the Flame Fan recovered.

With the support of many clan members, Uchiha Shisui recently acquired a ninjutsu called "Uchiha Rebound," specifically designed to complement and manipulate the "Flame Fan."

"I know a little bit."

Nara Rinka took the Flame Fan, then untied the Great Seal Scroll and took out a new ninja fan from inside.

"Shisui, you can use this fan first. It can amplify the power of Wind Release ninjutsu. It is a treasured ninja tool of Sunagakure."

[Rank B Ninja Tool: Three-Star Fan]

This large iron fan was an "unexpected find" obtained when Nara captured Ebizo before he was taken captive.

For this battle against the Cloud Village ninja, Nara Rinkei specially brought this [Three-Star Fan] from his collection.

"Oh……"

Uchiha Shisui gave away the [Flame Fan] and received the [Three-Star Fan] in return, but something felt off.

Nara Rinka took out a blank mask from the sealed scroll, left the mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique on it, and then handed it to Nara Shikaku.

"Shikaku-nii, Shisui, Hyuga, I'm leaving this place to you."

After giving his final instructions, Nara Ranke quickly bid farewell to everyone and headed towards the front lines.

Nara Shikaku gazed at the distant white deer with profound reverence, and then immediately took action himself.

Rumbling--

The five-tailed Kokuo raced across the land, rapidly approaching the front-line battlefield.

Before even reaching the battlefield, Nara Rangsuke, sitting atop the Five-Tails Kokuou, sensed the chaotic chakra ahead.

From afar, the enormous Susanoo roamed freely, with tiny yellow flashes of light weaving through it. The ones fighting against them were not low-ranking ninjas from Kumogakure, but the renowned AB duo.

Uchiha Kagami, riding his Susanoo, thrust out his spiral sword repeatedly, relentlessly attacking the giant tailed beast in front of him.

Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who had entered full Tailed Beast form, used his incredibly thick octopus tentacles to firmly bind Susanoo's body, while simultaneously turning his head to dodge the former's weapon attack.

Minato Namikaze flickered back and forth across the land, constantly searching for an opportunity to attack.

Ai, whose body was wrapped in blue and white electric arcs, was relentlessly pursuing Minato Namikaze in a straight line.

Yellow flashes and blue-white arcs of electricity intertwined on the battlefield, creating a unique spectacle.

The arrival of the Five-Tailed King Mu quickly drew the attention of the four people on the field.

Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha were overjoyed.

Ai and Killer Bee were surprised.

"That's the Five-Tails from Iwagakure... Just like the intelligence reports, the Five-Tails really was kidnapped by Konoha and turned into their power..."

A quickly abandoned his pursuit of Minato Namikaze and retreated to Killer Bee's side, shouting as he did so.

"By the way, stop arguing!"

Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Killer Bee decisively stopped pursuing the Susanoo that was actually Kagami Uchiha's avatar, but he still maintained his fully transformed tailed beast form.

"That's the Eight-Tails."

The Five-Tailed King gazed at the enormous, dark red creature from afar.

"It looks pretty much the same as before..."

Minato Namikaze flashed and retreated to Nara Rinkazu's side.

Uchiha Kagami also canceled his Susanoo and flew back directly.

Perhaps out of respect for the Five-Tails' power, the two did not get too close to the Five-Tails, but stood not far from its feet.

The three members of Konoha and the two members of Kumogakure are facing off from a distance.

Nara Rinka glanced at the AB duo in front of him, then looked down at Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Kagami.

Even in his Edo Tensei state, Uchiha Kagami showed no signs of fatigue.

But Minato Namikaze's forehead was covered in sweat.

With the body of an "ordinary ninja," he rushed from Konoha to the border of the Land of Hot Water at top speed, defeated the front-line troops of Kumogakure, and then became entangled with the A and B teams of Kumogakure.

Minato Namikaze has only managed to hold on this long because of sheer willpower.

Shadow Transformation Technique!

With a slight thought, Nara Rinkazu emerged from the shadows beneath him, and flew down to Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha, carrying the two of them.

"Thanks, Lan Gui."

Minato Namikaze let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stared directly at the AB group below with his bright, azure eyes.

"Should we... keep these two here?"

Minato Namikaze and the AB duo respected each other on the battlefield, acknowledging each other's strength.

However, this does not mean that Minato Namikaze will be merciful in special circumstances.

If the AB combination can be preserved, it will definitely deal a major blow to the Hidden Cloud Village, and will also greatly relieve the pressure on the Hidden Cloud Village's defense line.

"I'll give it a try."

Nara Rinka raised his right hand, and a ball of jet-black, condensed chakra condensed in his palm, with faint ribbons swirling around it, like planetary rings in the sky.

"Consider it a gift for our first meeting..."

【Dark Spiral Wheel】!

Sorry, my house is being renovated today.

The noise is making me annoyed and giving me a headache.

The next two are more likely to be later than usual.
