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

Chapter 246 Ai, Died in Battle! (Third update, 10,000 words, please vote!)

Samehada is very angry, and the consequences will be severe.

The Samehada sword, which was nearly burned to death by the Lava Release chakra, directly blew up the hard spikes on its hilt, unilaterally refusing to let Nara Rinkei hold it.

Under normal circumstances, a ninja would not notice an attack coming from the hilt of a sword when gripping it.

The sudden "flaring up" of Samehada's fur makes it very easy to achieve the desired attack effect.

Unfortunately, Nara Rinkazu's tricks far exceeded the expectations of the ninja sword Samehada.

Almost at the moment when [Ootogi Samehada] "stirred up its fur".

Nara Rinkazu's mind stirred slightly, and a thin layer of chakra immediately covered his palm, acting as a buffer between Samehada's hard spikes and his skin.

【Escape - Armor】!

Nara Rankei never expected that after successfully developing his own unique bloodline limit, [Kai-eun], the first enemy he would encounter would be...

A special ninja sword that possesses considerable intelligence.

However, the protective effect of [Kai Dun - Armor] did not disappoint Nara Rinka.

The sharp spikes of Samehada, a great sword capable of easily slicing and tearing a ninja's skin, become like an insurmountable "Wait Wall" when it encounters the defense of Samehada.

[Samehada] is determined to teach Nara Rinkasa a lesson for his wicked ninja ways.

Even though it gathered all the remaining chakra in the blade into the hilt, making the hard spikes on the hilt grow as big as kunai, it still couldn't break through the defense of [Kai-eun: Armament].

Sensing the resistance of Samehada, Nara Rinkei also began to take action.

The ninja sword is disobedient and likes to be picky about food?

It must be because they haven't received enough education!

Nara Rinkazu reattached the [Molten Release Mask], which he had just removed, to the [Greatsword Samehada].

Considering the position of this special ninja sword in resistance.

Nara Rinka thoughtfully placed the [Lava Mask] and the hilt of the [Great Sword Samehada] together.

chi chi-

The scorching, dark red magma clashed with the hard, sharp ninja sword. The latter crumbled instantly, visibly scorched and destroyed by the [Lava Release] magma.

"squeak!!"

【大刀同哈】 (Samehada) emitted a very sharp sound.

then……

【Samehada】retracted all the hard spikes on its hilt and tightened the hard spikes on the blade, determined never to blindly provoke its new master again.

After being carefully trained by the [Molten Mask], [Samehada] became docile again.

"Tsk tsk, what a fine knife! What a fine knife!"

Nara Rinkasa was amazed by Samehada's "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" behavior.

The level of intelligence in this ninja sword somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Special ninja tools with extremely high intelligence like these...

This seems to be the only case in the entire ninja world.

Even the Sage of Six Paths' ninja tools, such as the SS-rank ninja tool of Kumogakure, the Amber Purification Bottle, have no intelligence whatsoever.

"I just thought the [Samehada] sword was a bit too high a standard, but now it seems it's too low!"

Nara Rinkashi waved the Greatsword Samehada in his hand, and then put it into the Sealed Scroll.

"When I get the chance, I'll definitely study the [Samehada] sword properly!"

"If we could use the Samehada sword as a template to forge a few chakra pets with decent intelligence, that would be excellent..."

Just as Nara Rinka put away the [Great Sword Samehada].

Nara Shikaku quickly arrived at the scene using the [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting].

"Chieftain!"

As the Chief of Staff looked at Nara Rinka, the image that flashed through his mind was that of the lightning ninjutsu that the other party had just used, which resembled a Kirin.

Some time ago, Nara Shikaku even sent people to investigate a peculiar thunderstorm that broke out around the Konoha camp, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

Now it seems that the thunderstorm was just the clan leader's new ninjutsu?!

but……

First it was the Five-Tails, and now it's the Three-Tails.

Nara Shikaku suddenly realized that the speed at which the clan leader was collecting the tailed beasts seemed to have already reached some of the flair of the First Hokage.

"The legendary ninja god?"

Nara Shikaku looked at his clan head with great awe.

For an ordinary Jonin like him, "The Dark Shadow" was already a transcendent figure, like a god.

To put it bluntly...

In Nara Shikaku's opinion, the strength of his clan leader probably already surpasses that of the Third Hokage who is stationed in the village!

With the clan leader in charge, how could the Nara clan not prosper?

"Brother Lu Jiu".

Nara looked towards the Chief of Staff while holding the laurel tree.

"Arrange for personnel to clean up and sweep the battlefield; the battle is completely over."

The Hidden Cloud Village remained inactive.

The whereabouts of the hermit of Iwagakure are uncertain.

The only Hidden Mist Village to take the initiative and launch an attack on the Leaf Village ninja.

This battle resulted in the loss of not only the head of the Anbu, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and all the ninja forces dispatched into the Land of Hot Water, but more importantly, the loss of their Three-Tails!

Kirigakure was originally planning to take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters.

The visible losses in this battle were almost comparable to those of Iwagakure!

The attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and the result was the same – this perfectly describes the current situation in Kirigakure.

After hearing the clan leader's instructions, Nara Shikaku nodded earnestly.

In his view, the situation with Kumogakure and Iwagakure was still uncertain, but Kirigakure...

It's fair to say that you need to leave the game as soon as you sit down at the table.

The Battle of Fog Concealment has come to a complete end.

Nara Shikaku asked the most crucial question.

"Clan leader, the other ninjas are manageable, but what should we do with the Three-Tails?"

The Three-Tails is currently in a coma and is not difficult to deal with.

But once the three-tailed beast awakens...

Aside from Nara Rinka, the Chief of Staff couldn't think of any other ninja on the field who could handle the Three-Tails.

The Sealing Class might be able to help.

But unless there are special circumstances, which village would bring the sealing squad along when they go to the battlefield?

Not all sealing ninjas in Konoha are from the Uzumaki clan, so they can use sealing techniques as offensive ninjutsu.

"Let's leave it to Senior Kagami."

Nara Rinka gave his reply and immediately summoned Uchiha Kagami.

"Kyo-senpai, I'm leaving the Three-Tails in your care."

Uchiha Kagami nodded earnestly and said, "Yes!"

Although Nara Rangsei did not explicitly state it.

But Uchiha Kagami also knew what this frontline commander needed—the visual genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan!

The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is indeed very useful for dealing with tailed beasts.

In the previous battle against the Three-Tails, Uchiha Kagami had also considered using genjutsu to deal with the Three-Tails.

However, even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, one still needs to make eye contact to cast genjutsu.

Uchiha Kagami couldn't completely subdue Isobu by merely glancing at its shell.

Even with the support of unlimited chakra from the Edo Tensei state, Uchiha Kagami couldn't do it.

Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha were able to easily control the Nine-Tails, which was stronger than the Three-Tails, using genjutsu.

One reason is that they both possess the Mangekyou Sharingan.

On the other hand, Madara Uchiha had already established a summoning contract with Kurama (the Nine-Tails), allowing him to remotely transfer his chakra into Kurama's body. (Obito Uchiha also inherited this summoning contract with Kurama.)

Uchiha Kagami has no contractual relationship with the Three-Tails Isobu. The only way to control the Three-Tails is through visual genjutsu.

In the previous battle, the Three-Tails Isobu never gave Uchiha Kagami a chance to make eye contact.

In addition, there was the threat of a sneak attack from the nearby Suigetsu Hozuki.

Uchiha Kagami has yet to find an opportunity to use genjutsu on the Three-Tails Isobu.

Later, Nara Rinka arrived riding the Five-Tailed King Kokuo...

However, at this moment, facing a Three-Tails Isobu who had already lost consciousness, Uchiha Kagami was more than capable of acting as a "security guard" to prevent any accidents.

Nara Shikaku looked at Uchiha Kagami.

He still didn't know the other party's specific identity or background.

However, the opponent's performance in the recent battle was also evident to all.

Even if this mysterious "Mirror" can't suppress the Three-Tails, it can at least prevent it from going berserk.

That's enough!

"Chieftain, what I just said about 'dealing with the Three-Tailed Beast' isn't just about how to guard it; the more important issue is..."

Nara Shikaku glanced at the Five-Tailed King Kokuo not far away.

"Should we treat the Three-Tails the same way we treated the Five-Tails, Kokuo?"

Nara Shikaku had no objection to returning freedom to the Five-Tailed King Koku.

But three tails?

What merit or ability does it possess?!

It's best to seal away tailed beasts like the Three-Tails, which are ugly and have a bad temper.

"We'll discuss this later."

Nara Rinka looked at the Five-Tailed King.

"I still need to discuss the specific handling of the three tails with King Mu."

……

Just as Nara Rinka was discussing with the Five-Tails how to deal with the Three-Tails.

The final battle within the Land of Hot Water is about to determine the victor.

Ai, whose body was wrapped in lightning, launched a high-speed charge towards the yellow flash as if he had no time to spare.

At the same time, Killer Bee was also using the Eight-Tails' chakra to protect his older brother with materialized octopus tentacles.

After the yellow flash revealed the attack, which resembled a miniature Tailed Beast Ball.

His attack intensity against Ai suddenly increased by a level.

This is possible given the tacit understanding that the AB combination has cultivated over many years.

Minato Namikaze was unable to find an opportunity to attack.

But even the most powerful ninja is not a flawless machine.

Through multiple joint operations.

The cooperation between A and B finally encountered a slight flaw.

Minato Namikaze seized the crucial opportunity in the fight and decisively unleashed his trump card—

Flying Thunder God Technique!

One second Minato Namikaze was dodging A's attacks, the next second he used his special ninjutsu to teleport directly behind A and unleash a long-prepared attack on the back of the Hidden Cloud Village's prospective Raikage—

"Rasengan!"

boom!

Minato Namikaze's Rasengan struck A hard in the back, sending him flying away once again.

The powerful spiral chakra continuously rubbed against and consumed A's "Lightning Armor".

However, having already experienced this once before, A showed no panic. He decisively shifted his Lightning Release chakra, concentrating it on his back to defend against the Rasengan attack.

Killer Bee's attack followed closely behind, with his enormous octopus tentacles striking the paused Minato Namikaze.

But a fierce glint flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes.

Flying Thunder God Technique - Second Stage!

The reactivated "Flying Thunder God Technique" allowed Minato Namikaze to leave the spot directly.

After dodging Killer Bee's tentacle attack, Minato Namikaze teleported back to A's side.

A, who had previously gathered a large amount of Lightning Release chakra in his back, also suffered a negative effect of reduced defense in the rest of his body.

A yellow flash appeared in front of Ai, and as if he had practiced a thousand times, he skillfully swung the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.

laugh--

The trident-shaped kunai, gleaming with a chilling light, cut a long and deep wound across Ai's chest and abdomen, starting from his right waist and ending at his left shoulder.

The flow of blood seemed to be slower than Minato Namikaze's attack speed.

Only after Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai completely left A's body did a fountain of blood spurt from the wound in A's chest and abdomen, and the lungs and internal organs that had been torn apart along with it could be faintly seen at the wound.

"Yellow flash..."

Ai stared in disbelief at Minato Namikaze before him, weakly calling out his name.

His injuries at this point were beyond saving, even by using "Lightning Release Chakra Mode".

After all, the main function of "Lightning Release Chakra Mode" is to enhance one's own nerve speed.

While it can be used to heal injuries, it absolutely cannot heal such a fatal wound that nearly split a person in two!

Goodbye, Ai…

Minato Namikaze gripped the Flying Thunder God kunai tightly, seemingly bidding farewell with regret and remorse to his enemy of many years.

at the same time.

Minato Namikaze once again swung his Flying Thunder God kunai, slicing it across A's neck and delivering a finishing blow.

"Big brother..."

Kirabi could not believe what he was seeing.

His older brother, the older brother with whom he lived, trained, and fought...

He was actually slashed across the neck by a yellow flash?

"Big brother!"

Killer Bee suddenly unleashed an incredibly powerful burst of chakra, and with his furious roar, a gust of wind surged forth from in front of him.

It was just the simplest of movements, yet it produced terrifying power.

The highly experienced Minato Namikaze immediately recognized Killer Bee's current state.

Due to excessively intense external stimuli.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has gone berserk!

Third update.

There are still 2 updates to be added.

Goodnight, everyone.
