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

Chapter 222 The Evil God of the Land of Hot Water!

Nara Rinkazu examined the few figures on the white platform that could barely be called corpses.

The thin, bony bones were covered by grayish-brown, shriveled skin, and almost all of the hair had fallen out. The person did not look like a corpse that had just died, but rather like a mummy that had been dried for many years.

"These people were all young and middle-aged men who looked to be in their twenties or thirties when they died."

Nohara Rin, who had personally experienced the attack, followed over and spoke softly.

"But after the battle, they suddenly turned into this..."

"I did a quick check on the bodies and found that their energy was completely depleted, and their cells were as dry as straw."

While Rin Nohara's medical ninjutsu skills may not be top-notch, her testimony as a professional medical ninja is highly credible.

Based on the appearance of these corpses, Nara Rinkei was able to make a similar judgment, but he still wanted to hear what the real fighters had to say.

Nara Rinka looked at Kakashi Hatake, who had followed along, and asked him a question.

"What were the specific details of the battle?"

"I was the first to spot these unfamiliar ninjas approaching, and I was the one who started the fight against them. I once used..."

When Kakashi Hatake got to this point, he couldn't help but glance at Minato Namikaze beside him, but he still gritted his teeth and continued.

"I used Chidori to pierce an enemy's heart, but the enemy still maintained a very strong vitality at that time and did not weaken at all due to the loss of his heart."

"It wasn't just this person; the others were in similar situations. Strike by lightning, cut by a knife, burned by fire... none of them suffered any truly fatal injuries."

"But then it seemed like something went wrong with their own bodies. Before we could even figure out what was happening, these people just died on their own."

Kakashi Hatake did not explain the source of his physical injuries.

However, Nara Rinkazu, Namikaze Minato, and the others were able to deduce the general situation at the time.

It was simply that after piercing the enemy's heart, they thought victory was assured and became careless, which allowed these "immortal ninjas" to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

For an ordinary ninja, the heart is indeed a fatal wound.

Minato Namikaze did not blame Kakashi Hatake for his carelessness.

He had heard of and even fought against some "immortal ninjas".

From the bounty hunter Kakuzu to the reanimated Uchiha Kagami.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Minato Namikaze wouldn't have believed that someone could remain alive with a pierced heart.

However, the situation of these ninjas was completely different from that of Kakuzu and Uchiha Kagami.

Minato Namikaze had never fought Kakuzu, but he had vaguely heard that the other's body structure was very special and could ignore many fatal injuries.

As for Uchiha Kagami, it was because he was already dead, and the reanimated body was just a vessel for him to remain in the human world.

As for these ninjas...

Minato Namikaze stared at the few dried-up corpses.

"Their immortality seems to be a pseudo-immortality resulting from the extreme activation of their own cells."

Putting that thought aside for the moment, Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi Hatake and brought up another matter.

"Kakashi, I didn't mean to blame you, but that Chidori..."

"Minato-sensei."

Kakashi Hatake interrupted Minato Namikaze, speaking with a touch of stubbornness.

"I used Chidori only after I got completely close to the enemy this time."

Minato Namikaze was momentarily speechless.

Based on his experience, he judged that the lightning release technique called "Chidori" created by Kakashi was indeed an amazing ninjutsu.

The fusion of morphological and property changes, along with the introduction of activation features, amplifies the power of ninjutsu.

If rated by difficulty level, Chidori would be rated A-level, just like the Rasengan.

According to Minato Namikaze, if Kakashi Hatake continued to delve deeper into the study of Chidori, this lightning release ninjutsu called "Chidori" might even rival the Third Raikage of Kumogakure's "Hell Thrust"!

However, Minato Namikaze was also well aware of one thing, and he had relayed this to Kakashi Hatake—

Chidori is not a fully developed ninjutsu.

To be precise.

The power of the Chidori ninjutsu has exceeded the limits of Kakashi Hatake's own mastery as the creator of the technique.

The essence of Chidori's attack is a thrusting attack that concentrates Lightning Release chakra into a single point.

This is why Minato Namikaze believed that Kakashi's "Chidori" might be comparable to the Third Raikage's "Hell Thrust".

Because "Hell Thrust" is also a single-point attack with concentrated power.

The mechanisms and effects of the two ninjutsu, "Chidori" and "Hell Thrust", are the same.

However, unlike others, the Third Raikage possessed superhuman movement speed and reflexes, allowing him to perfectly control the power of "Hell Thrust".

But Kakashi Hatake is not an option.

The excessively fast movement speed of "Chidori" makes it impossible for Kakashi to fully control his own movement trajectory.

Once an enemy discovers the flaw in this ninjutsu, avoiding Kakashi Hatake's attack would be incredibly easy.

The opponent can even use the overly simple attack route of "Chidori" to counterattack Kakashi Hatake.

The same principle can also be applied to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Flying Thunder God?

Isn't it just about leaving markers in advance and then moving between the markers in time and space?

By observing the landing points of the Flying Thunder God Marks in advance and then moving between the marks at extreme speed to attack the user of the Flying Thunder God Technique, this supposedly miraculous space-time ninjutsu can be broken.

The Fourth Raikage, A, did just that.

Then he almost got killed by Yongdaimei.

to be honest.

It wasn't the Flying Thunder God Technique that made Minato Namikaze who he is.

It was Minato Namikaze who perfected the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The terrifying power of the Flying Thunder God Technique is based on Minato Namikaze's unparalleled basic ninja qualities!

If Minato Namikaze were to use "Chidori," he could perfectly control this Lightning Release ninjutsu, achieving an effect comparable to the Fourth Raikage. (Of course, Chidori requires hand seals, which is a drawback.)

But Kakashi Hatake used "Chidori"...

My own nerve reflexes aren't fast enough!

however……

Minato Namikaze looked at the stubborn Kakashi Hatake.

The other party did indeed heed his advice.

Then, improvements were also made to "Chidori".

Is your own visual judgment and nerve reflexes inadequate?

Long-range thrusts can increase power, but they also amplify weaknesses?

Then just apply the Chidori directly to your face!

"Kakashi."

Minato Namikaze walked up to Kakashi Hatake, raised his hand, and gently patted the latter's white hair.

"You are a true genius."

"I am proud to have a student like you."

Feeling the warm hands above his head, Kakashi Hatake unconsciously turned his head and whispered.

"I'm still far from being as good as Minato-sensei..."

This little conversation between the teachers and students of the Water Gate Class did not cause much of a stir.

Nara Rin ignored the little sun and the scarecrow, and looked at Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito.

"Since Kakashi Hatake, a Jonin, was injured in the battle, it couldn't possibly be Nohara-san who ended it, could it?"

"It wasn't me."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Nohara Rin waved her hands repeatedly.

"It's Obito-kun."

"Hmm? Lin?"

Hearing his beloved's call, Obito Uchiha snapped out of his daze and said with a happy expression.

"How did you know I awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan?"

"what?"

Nohara Rin blinked.

"Obito-kun, Lord Nara wants to speak with you."

"Nara...sama?"

Obito Uchiha somewhat reluctantly shifted his gaze away from Rin Nohara.

"What? You also want to know how I awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan?"

"The two-tomoe Sharingan can basically replicate the enemy's taijutsu techniques..."

Nara Rinka glanced at Uchiha Obito, a strange emotion flashing through his mind, before looking at Hatake Kakashi.

"Were these attacking ninjas of low skill level?"

"They didn't use ninjutsu, or perhaps they didn't have time to use it."

Kakashi Hatake said in a calm tone.

"As for their taijutsu skills, they can only be described as mediocre, no different from ordinary chunin."

"You bastard!"

Obito Uchiha clenched his fists in anger.

"If it weren't for me awakening the two-tomoe Sharingan—"

"Obito, be quiet."

Minato Namikaze interrupted Obito Uchiha, because he had already seen the impatience flash across Nara Ranke's face.

Although Obito is a kind-hearted kid, he just loves to go against Kakashi too much, and he could easily be detonated if he's not careful...

Of course, it could also be because...

Minato Namikaze glanced at Rin Nohara, then raised his hand and pressed down on Obito Uchiha's head.

"Have the identities of these ninjas been confirmed?"

Nara Rinka continued to question Kakashi Hatake.

"What's the exact location of the battle?"

"They did not reveal their identities during the battle, and the weapons they used were the ubiquitous katana."

Kakashi Hatake first reported the location of the battle, and then focused on the suspicious points in the battle.

"But these people said something when they attacked us:"

"We must be offered up to the evil god."

"What evil gods, what ghosts..."

Obito Uchiha jumped out again, making sarcastic remarks to Kakashi Hatake.

"It's all just lies adults tell children! Only a coward like Kakashi would believe it."

"call……"

Nara Rinka exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the shadow beneath him extended out like a long whip, forming pitch-black shadow hands in mid-air, which then directly bound Uchiha Obito.

His noisy mouth, in particular, was bound by several shadowy hands.

Shadow Hanging Technique!

Minato Namikaze smirked; he had anticipated this scene.

"Brother Shuimen".

Nara gazes towards Minato Namikaze from the Osmanthus Pavilion.

"We might need to ask you to investigate this incident."

"The evil god of the Land of Hot Springs..."

Second update.

The third update will be around 11 PM.

This time it shouldn't be too late... haha.
