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

Chapter 251 Two S-Rank Ninja Scrolls!

"I didn't take down the AB duo by myself; Master Men did it too!"

Faced with the resentful accusations from his clone, Nara Rinka simply shrugged and decisively shifted the blame.

"And he did it first!"

"The 'after-drying' isn't 'drying,' right?"

Nara Raikage remained silent.

"Do these things even need to be ordered?"

"The key point is that both the A and B combinations are gone, making the subsequent defense deployment in Kumogakure much more difficult..."

"What can I do?"

Nara Langui continued to shrug.

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has offered himself up, so I can't refuse him, can I?"

"The same applies to the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Knowing that Kumogakure is about to change the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and with a good helper like you, it would be a waste of resources not to intervene."

According to the information Nara Rinkei received from the "Raikage clone".

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure was already at a critical juncture, about to be replaced.

The Cloud Village ninjas must extract the Two-Tails from the previous Two-Tails Jinchuriki before he dies and seal it into a new Two-Tails Jinchuriki who has been prepared in advance.

Judging by the timeline, it's basically been happening within the last week or two.

This is why the one-eyed Uchiha was able to persuade the real Third Raikage to lead the Hidden Cloud Village to join the siege of Konoha by relying on the [Tail-Sealing Seal] (and [Storm Release: Light Fang]).

This is certainly partly due to the fact that the Hidden Cloud Village covets Konoha's rare resources.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the one-eyed Uchiha's bet hit the sore spot of Kumogakure.

The technique originally used by the Hidden Cloud Village to seal the Tailed Beasts was merely a B-rank technique called the [Iron Armor Seal].

For powerful creatures like the Tailed Beasts that are beyond the norm.

[Ironclad Seal] can indeed be used, but it is definitely not effective.

In this part of history after the Hidden Cloud Village obtained the Tailed Beasts.

Two tails are alright.

The Eight-Tails has indeed gone berserk multiple times.

In order to suppress the rampaging Eight-Tails, Kumogakure has invested a great deal of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

This "rampage" does not mean that after the Eight-Tails was unsealed, it escaped from the sealing artifact [Amber Purification Bottle] and then wreaked havoc and slaughtered people in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Rather, it refers to the Eight-Tails using its own chakra to influence and interfere with the Jinchuriki's rampage when it was sealed inside the Jinchuriki, thereby affecting the Jinchuriki's life.

The previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, Furubi, including his father and even his uncle (an even earlier Eight-Tails Jinchuriki), all died for this reason.

Before Killer Bee, a total of eight Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure had already perished due to their out-of-control rampages!

However, once the [Tail-Sealing Seal] is in place, the tailed beasts can be sealed into the bodies of their jinchūriki, making it much harder for their chakra to leak out. This also effectively solves the problem of the jinchūriki going berserk in Kumogakure.

Whether it's the Two-Tails, which is about to change its jinchūriki, or the Eight-Tails, which has already been stably controlled by Killer Bee.

In any case, once the [Tail-Sealing Seal] is in place, the Hidden Cloud Village will no longer need to worry about the Tailed Beasts going berserk, and can better deploy them in the war.

This was the Third Raikage's true thought back then.

What the Third Raikage and even the One-Eyed Uchiha hiding behind the scenes never expected was...

Their actions, instead of stabilizing Kumogakure or harming Konoha, only made things easier for Nara to seize power.

Not to mention the many precious and unique technique scrolls that Nara Rinka extracted from the One-Eyed Uchiha by the "Nara Raikage".

Even the numerous rewards that the one-eyed Uchiha had paid in advance had already become Nara's prize.

Even Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails inside him have now become prisoners of Nara Rangsuke.

As for the two-tailed creature...

After the end of this war.

Nara Rinka prepares to have the "Nara Raikage" return to Kumogakure as soon as possible and immediately implement the plan to replace the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Once the two-tailed ninja is successfully replaced, Nara Rinkei will take the new two-tailed ninja and the SS-rank ninja tool [Amber Purification Bottle] and fly away, leaving Kumogakure.

That's the logic.

Nara Raikage had to admit that the original was right, but he still argued against it.

"The problem is, I basically have to do all the cleanup work!"

"It's just that you're going to sit in the Raikage's position for a short time, not that you're going to do it for life."

Nara Rinka casually offered a reassuring remark.

"At most, you only need to hold on for another ten days or half a month, it's very short."

"Don't you still have... well, anyway, doesn't Kumogakure have a lot of 'tools'? Like that Tsuchikage."

"well……"

Knowing he couldn't disobey the orders of his master, the Raikage could only sigh with a worried expression.

"I just hope it ends soon..."

"I really don't want to be the Raikage!"

Nara Rinka had no intention of continuing to appease the complaining clone.

In any case, for his main body, it's impossible to work; he can only barely make ends meet by having his clones work harder.

"You can do whatever you want with this Lava Release ninja, but you'd better keep a close eye on this Hozuki clan ninja."

Nara Rinkazu looked at the two prisoners that "Nara Raikage" was leading.

"I also want to use this guy to research the Hozuki clan's special secret techniques!"

"Okay, okay."

Nara Raikage shook his hand, somewhat displeased.

"I'm taking these two with me now. Let me know if there's any news, and contact me later."

Nara Rinka nodded earnestly and watched his clone leave.

A moment later.

In the vast underground cave, only Nara Rinka remained.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he decided to take stock of the gains he had made in this battle.

"Regarding the age spots, I already have the [Tail-Sealing Seal] and [Storm Release: Light Fang] ninjutsu. The former is unusable, so the latter is practically worthless."

Nara Rinkazu inspected the contributions of the one-eyed Uchiha.

"The others are... the A-rank technique [Diamond Sealing Chains] and the B-rank technique [Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique]?!"

【Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique】 is a secret ninjutsu from the Hozuki clan, a water-style ninjutsu that enhances power.

This B-level technique works quite well.

But compared to the other one, it can only be called garbage.

[Rank A Sealing Technique; Vajra Sealing Block]

[Technique Description: Driving in nails to bind the tailed beast, a super-advanced secret sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan]

[Technique Effect: Chakra chains emitted from the body possess extremely high toughness and will tightly bind the opponent's entire body. Even the Nine-Tails cannot easily break them.]

No hand seals required, cast with intention.

[Technique Evaluation: Captured a wild Tailed Beast]

"I originally thought this [Diamond Sealing Technique] was some kind of bloodline limit ability unique to the Uzumaki clan, but it turns out... it's just an 'ordinary' A-rank sealing technique?!"

Looking at the A-rank technique on the panel, Nara Ranka felt only joy.

The sealing technique is not a bloodline limit, meaning he can use it directly.

How strong is the [Diamond Lockdown]?

Kushina Uzumaki, in a near-death state, directly controlled the Nine-Tails, rendering this most powerful tailed beast unable to move.

Karin, who was out of control, almost used the "Diamond Lockdown" to dismantle Tobi's wooden Gundam into pieces.

This is such a powerful A-rank sealing technique!

"This sealing technique is the real deal: a 'Tailed Beast Specialization'!"

Previously, they faced Killer Bee in his berserk state.

Nara Rinka knew very well that the best way to deal with this type of enemy was actually the head-patting ninjutsu, 【Wood Release: Kouan Enters the Palace with a Dropped Hand】.

However, [Wood Release: Kouan Enters the Palace with Hands Down] is a genuine bloodline limit technique.

Unless Nara Rinka obtains Wood Release or successfully modifies it, there is no way to use it.

It was precisely for this reason that Nara Rinkei chose to confront Killer Bee head-on.

Although he ultimately won.

However, Nara Rinka also paid a heavy price in chakra for this.

If it were replaced by the [Diamond Lockdown]...

Where will we ever see Killer Bee evolve into a "perfect Jinchūriki"?

If Killer Bee can even budge his octopus tentacles once the "Diamond Lockdown" is unleashed, then Nara will have lost!

"With this ninjutsu, at least we won't have to worry about the tailed beasts going berserk anymore..."

Nara looked towards the other two harvests.

Break through the ambush set by the One-Eyed Uchiha, control the Two Scales Onoki, annihilate the Hidden Mist Army, capture the Three-Tails, and eliminate the AB combination...

After all these events came to an end, the two S-rank missions that Nara Rinka had previously undertaken were also declared completely completed.

S-rank mission [Multi-village alliance], S-rank mission [The Five-Tails are mine].

Each of them provided one S-rank [Ninja Scroll]!

"Two S-rank secret scrolls."

Nara Rinka instantly went to the underground river next to him, bent down and washed his hands.

"Let's open one first!"

[Opening...]

[This S-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[S-Rank Technique: Water Transformation Technique]

[Technique Description: Freely dissolving the body]

[Spell Effect: Allows the user to liquefy their body at will, rendering conventional physical attacks ineffective, while also providing extremely high flexibility.]

[Surgery Evaluation: Come on, come on, come on...]

Wow!

Nara Rinka looked at the spell scrolls on the panel and let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"He directly activated the [Water Transformation Technique]?! I originally thought I would need to study that Hozuki Zangetsu to deduce the Hozuki clan's water transformation secret technique... but now that guy is completely unimportant to me!"

"As expected of an S-rank [Ninja Scroll]! So, what's next?"

Nara Rinkazu seized the opportunity and immediately opened the remaining S-rank scroll.

[Opening...]

[This S-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[S-Rank Technique: Water Release: Water Mirror Technique]

[Spell Description: A clone with identical properties and powers! Like a mirror image!]

[Spell Effect: Creates a mirror using Water Release techniques. The reflected object will materialize, and any enemy attacking the materialized object will suffer a counterattack with the exact same force as their attack.]

[Spell Evaluation: Please lend me your power]
