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

Chapter 210 The Third Raikage's S-Rank Secret Scroll Reward!

The Five-Tails, Kokuo, sped all the way back to the Konoha camp.

After their initial shock, the Konoha ninjas displayed remarkable composure upon their second encounter with the Five-Tails, Kokuo.

"Gentlemen!"

Nara Rinka stood atop the head of the Five-Tails, Kokuo, holding the Flame Fan in his right hand and resting his left hand on the Sealing Scroll, looking down at the Konoha ninja below and announcing the outcome of the war.

"As you all expected, I have brought victory back!"

The makeshift Konoha camp fell silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening cheer erupted from the less than one hundred Konoha ninja.

"Lord Nara! Long live Nara!"

"The Shadow of Darkness! Banzai!"

Minato Namikaze looked at Nara Ranka, who had so easily gained everyone's respect and love, and a faint trace of envy flashed in his azure eyes.

It wasn't because he became Hokage that he gained recognition from everyone.

Only those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage!

"The gap in strength between me and Lan Gui... is widening."

Minato Namikaze sighed inwardly, but fortunately, he had a strong ability to manage his emotions and quickly regained his composure.

"Geniuses have their own fighting style, and I have mine."

"Once I can develop that Spiral... Light Wheel Gale Burst... Ball, my attack methods won't be as limited as before."

Like Minato Namikaze, Kagami Uchiha, who was hiding in the shadows, was also envious of Nara Rinka's prestige.

However, the Uchiha clan has always revered the strong.

Uchiha Kagami felt only admiration, not jealousy.

"It's truly reassuring to have such an outstanding junior like Nara-kun in the village..."

The cheers from the crowd gradually subsided.

Nara Shikaku flew out from the crowd aboard the Shadow Beast Imitation Painting and hovered beside Nara Ranka.

Although I really want to try out the feel of the Five-Tailed King Kokuo.

However, after careful consideration, Nara Shikaku still believed that this matter needed to be discussed in a more thorough manner.

"Chieftain."

Nara Shikaku then began to report on the important matter.

"Just now, your subordinate Hyuga Rei and I scouted the surrounding area and gathered all the Konoha ninja we found. We still need to continue..."

"Brother Lu Jiu".

Nara Rinka sat cross-legged on top of the Five-Tailed King's head and waved to the Chief of Staff.

"I'll leave all these battlefield trivia to you."

"I trust you to handle things."

Before Nara Rinka went to the battlefield, Nara Shikaku had already been active on the front lines of battle for many years.

His intelligence and strategic skills were already well-known in Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War.

Otherwise, when Nara Shikano retired earlier, Nara Shikaku wouldn't have been able to so easily take over the position of Konoha's Jonin squad leader.

That position is not one that just any ninja can sit in!

Nara Shikaku sighed inwardly; he had long anticipated this situation.

Well, who can blame them when the new clan leader is so powerful?

"Chieftain, establish a new camp, care for the wounded soldiers, report back to the village about the battle situation at the front, and search for any remaining survivors..."

Nara Shikaku rattled off a long list of battlefield mission details.

"Yes, yes, I'll leave everything to you, Brother Shikaku."

Nara Rinka patted the five-tailed beast Kokuou beneath him.

"Also, Brother Shikaku, you should understand that Mu-ou's size is too large, and its chakra reserves are too obvious, so it's not suitable for it to stay with the main force."

"I'll take King Mu to the hot springs first—well, I mean, we'll go rest first."

"If there's anything you need, you can contact my clone."

The words fell.

Nara Rinka then created a new "shadow clone" to share the responsibility of handling the trivial matters of the front-line camp with Nara Shikaku.

"What a hassle."

【Shadow Clone】expressed Nara Shikaku's true feelings.

But the latter could only respond with one sentence at this moment.

"understood."

The land of hot springs is rich in hot springs.

Using a map of the Land of Hot Springs obtained from the village, Nara Rinkei rode the Five-Tailed King Koku and found a large natural hot spring in the surrounding area.

With a leap, the five-tailed Muo leaped directly into the hot spring, letting out a comfortable groan.

Nara Rinka first used his Earth Release ninjutsu to create a temporary dwelling near the hot spring, and after arranging for a clone to keep watch, he headed towards the hot spring area.

While soaking in a hot spring with the Five-Tailed King.

Nara Rinka took the opportunity to examine the S-rank [Ninja Scroll] he had just acquired.

"The Third Raikage's [Ninja Scroll], I wonder what kind of contents it will contain..."

Nara Rinka currently possesses a very rich reserve of S-rank techniques, and this reserve is still slowly growing.

But even so.

For Nara Rinka, the S-rank [Ninja Scroll] is still extremely valuable.

He swam around in the hot spring for a while, then slid down to the side of the Five-Tailed King Mu, rubbing its wet white fur.

"Mystical luck" blessing complete.

Nara Rinkazu had a sudden thought and immediately activated the S-rank [Ninja Scroll] on the panel.

[Opening...]

[This S-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[S-Rank Technique: Kirin]

[Spell Description: The roar of an enraged divine beast! A devastating blow!]

【Spell Effect: Creates cumulonimbus clouds through special means, and then uses the friction of the cloud layers to generate powerful lightning.】

Using his own chakra, he manipulates the natural energy filling the atmosphere to its fullest extent, guiding the eruption of natural lightning and transforming its form into a raging lightning beast resembling a Qilin, instantly annihilating the enemy.

[Spell Evaluation: Draws upon the power of lightning!]

"A Qilin?!"

Nara Rinka's eyes widened in surprise.

"How could techniques that haven't even been developed yet be created from [Ninja Scrolls]?!"

Nara Rinka knew very well the true developer of the Kirin—the second pillar, who was on par with the first pillar—Uchiha Sasuke.

However, at this stage, Uchiha Sasuke has not yet been born!

It will be a long time before Erzhuzi embarks on a path of being betrayed by his family, his own brother, and the giant snake... in short, he will be betrayed one after another.

The [Kirin], which was only revealed during the battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi, does not exist in the ninja world at the current point in time.

"If even the Kirin can be developed from the Ninja Scrolls, does that mean that various Rasengan techniques might also be unlocked in the future?"

"Hmm... I should have thought of this when I obtained the [Dark Spiral Wheel]!"

Nara Rinka had most of her body submerged in the hot spring, with only her head showing.

"Unfortunately, [Kirin] is a Lightning Release ninjutsu, so it's basically useless against me."

"However, Tsunade could use this ninjutsu; she has a natural affinity for lightning... We'll see if she wants to."

Nara Ranka, bored, began flipping through the scroll containing the techniques of the [Kirin].

Although Lightning Release was a ninjutsu that was "unattainable" for him.

However, every S-rank technique has its unique features.

For example, the information mentioned in the scroll of Nara Rinka, which is currently unable to use the [Wood Release: Ranking Technique], is exactly what is applied to the [Shadow Transformation Technique: Rashomon].

The morphological changes covered in the [Qilin] technique scrolls are also a very good research direction.

However, when Nara Rinkazu examined the effects of the [Kirin] spell, he realized what he had just overlooked.

"etc!"

"This is [Kirin], not [Lightning Release: Kirin]? It doesn't require its own Lightning Release chakra?"

"Extreme manipulation of the natural energy filling the atmosphere... [Qilin] is actually a pseudo-immortal technique?!"

A feeling of surprise flashed through Nara Rinka's mind once again.

To be honest.

Nara Rinka doesn't value the Kirin much.

The lightning escape technique developed by Erzhuzi has a very high level of difficulty and an exaggerated description effect.

But what is its actual power?

Even Itachi Uchiha's first-stage Susanoo, which was critically ill and on the verge of death, could not be broken.

All that boasting and bragging goes unnoticed; in reality, he's a complete idiot.

This is the Qilin.

However, after Nara Rankei finished browsing through the contents of the [Kirin] scroll, only two words remained in his mind:

"It smells so good!"

"Um?"

The Five-Tailed King opened its eyes with some curiosity and looked towards Nara Rangsuke.

It had just felt Nara Rinka touch it twice, and now the other party was muttering something over there?

"King Mu".

Nara Rinka also looked at King Mu, and was about to wave his hand to indicate that nothing had happened.

But just as he raised his hand, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

Uchiha Sasuke uses the Kirin technique, which involves creating a high-temperature updraft to form a cumulonimbus cloud, which then condenses into lightning.

Nara Rangsuke possesses the Five-Tailed King Kokuo, and he seems to...

Can we skip this troublesome step?

"Look at the sky."

When Go-O-Kou heard Nara Rangatsu's words, it instinctively looked up at the sky, but saw nothing unusual.

"What's wrong?"

"King Mu, you can use the Boiling Escape technique to create steam, right?"

Nara Rinkasa climbed out of the hot spring, still holding up one hand to the sky.

"That's right."

The Five-Tailed King Kokuo didn't care about Nara Rangsuke's appearance at this moment; it was just a tailed beast, not a great white deer.

"It's just that I can't achieve the same level of precise control as you."

"That's not a problem."

Nara Rinkaku clenched his right fist.
