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

Chapter 257 Contract with the Three-Tailed Fox!

"S-rank technique [Desolate Sea Spray]! It's a Water Release technique, but not entirely!"

Nara Rinka gazed at the spell descriptions on the panel, her eyes brightening slightly.

Like the [Qilin], [Wilderness Sea Spray] is also an S-rank pseudo-immortal technique that can manipulate natural energy!

Nara Rinka quickly browsed through the effects of the [Wild Sea Spray] technique and the contents of the scroll, gaining a general understanding of this S-rank technique originating from the Three-Tailed Isobu.

Compared to the Qilin, the Wilderness Foam has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that [Wilderness Sea Spray] is not as demanding on environmental conditions as [Qilin].

Although the scroll of techniques mentions "manipulating the natural energy of the ocean".

However, natural bodies of water such as lakes and rivers are also filled with natural energy that can be manipulated and controlled at will.

Secondly, the difficulty of controlling and using [Desolate Sea Spray] is far lower than that of [Kirin], and it also consumes less chakra.

After all, unlike the Qilin, which requires the creation of a rain cloud before use, the [Wilderness Sea Spray] only needs to find a suitable aquatic environment to be used.

However, in addition to the points mentioned above, [Wilderness Sea Spray] also has several drawbacks.

In Nara Rinka's view, the most significant problem with [Wilderness Spray] is that, as an S-rank immortal technique, its attack power is severely insufficient!

Nara Rinka was fully aware of the power and effects of the [Kirin].

If it weren't for the fact that the [Qilin] spell has a very troublesome "casting animation", this S-rank spell would have almost no flaws.

Furthermore, both being S-rank pseudo-immortal techniques, Nara Rinka can use [Kirin] to collapse a small mountain, but [Warashii Shimo]...

Nara Rinka didn't even say whether the [Wild Sea Spray] could blast a mountain apart; he even doubted whether this water-style ninjutsu could blast through a small mountain.

"The lack of single-target attack power is almost a common problem with Water Release ninjutsu..."

Nara Rinka was clearly aware of the shortcomings of the [Wild Sea Spray], but he was not bothered by it.

"Fortunately, I've already mastered another pure S-rank technique, [Water Release: Water Severing Wave], which is practically the pinnacle of water-style ninjutsu in terms of both form transformation and attack power!"

Even if the current concentrated attack power of [Wilderness Sea Spray] is insufficient, if it absorbs the ultimate control over the shape changes of [Water Severing Wave], its power will definitely soar again.

"At that time, it won't just be 'splashing spray on the desolate sea,' but a desolate sea with its waves severed!"

Nara Rinka is currently planning to research the fusion of Yin Release and Water Release bloodline limits, and he is very satisfied with the acquisition of the S-rank pseudo-sage technique, 【Desolate Sea Spray】.

The acquisition of the Kirin allows Nara Rinkei to manipulate and control the natural energy in the atmosphere.

Although the "Art of Fake Planting" is of a lower level, it can still interfere with and influence the natural energy within the earth.

At this time, they also acquired the S-rank technique [Wilderness Sea Spray], filling the last gap in Nara Rinkei's control over natural energy.

Sky, ocean, earth.

In terms of controlling the "breadth" of natural energy, Nara Rangsei can be said to be perfect.

The next step is to increase the "depth" of the manipulation and use of natural energy.

"The experiment to synthesize Sage Chakra can now begin..."

Nara Rinka's mind was filled with a constant stream of thoughts.

"There's another problem: the [Pseudo-Planting Technique] is indeed too low-level. If we could acquire another S-rank pseudo-immortal technique that could control the natural energy in the earth, then it could truly be called a trinity..."

Nara Lan Gui gazes at the panel information.

"The Three-Tails Isobu's Tailed Beast power, [Wild Sea Spray]... Since the Three-Tails possesses the so-called Tailed Beast power, could King Koku also possess a similar Tailed Beast power?"

Nara Rinkaku had previously consulted Go-Ooku.

King Mu was well aware of the existence of natural energy, but he did not possess the means to create Sage Chakra.

In this respect, King Mu is undoubtedly inferior to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Although the Three-Tails Isobu did not create Sage Chakra.

But at least the Three-Tailed Fox knows how to manipulate and use the natural energy in the ocean.

In this respect, he is also superior to King Mu.

"The power of the Three-Tails lies in the combination of Water Release techniques and natural energy..."

A thought inexplicably flashed through Nara Rinka's mind.

Could it be that King Mu's tailed beast power lies in Boil Release?

The tailed beasts each possess their own unique abilities.

Examples include the Five-Tails' Boil Release, the Four-Tails' Lava Release, and the Eight-Tails' Ink Release.

Aside from his innate "turtle shell," the only thing the Three-Tailed Isobu can boast about is its Water Release techniques.

In this respect, the Six-Tails Saiken, which was once sold to Kirigakure at the same time, is superior to the Three-Tails.

The Six-Tailed Rhino can secrete a strong acid solution, and Kirigakure even used this as a reference to develop the corresponding [Lava Release].

The Lava Release Chakra Creation Method that the One-Eyed Uchiha gave to the Raikage Nara came from this.

"If King Koku's Boil Release and the Four-Tails' Lava Release are both powers of their respective Tailed Beasts, then should I be targeting those Tailed Beasts that are simpler and don't have bloodline limits?"

"The Three-Tails uses Water Release and Pseudo-Sage Techniques, so the tailed beast that excels in Earth Release is... the One-Tail?"

"But I remember One-Tail is good at Wind Release, right? Then where did those sand ninjutsu come from, and the sealing techniques too..."

As the three-tailed turtle swam, the distance between the person, the turtle, and the shore grew closer and closer.

Nara Rinka temporarily paused his thinking on the so-called "Tailed Beast Power" and called for a halt to the Three-Tailed Isobu.

"Let's stop here for a moment, Isobu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nara Rinka created another shadow creature from the shadows, which carried him to the front of the Three-Tailed Isobu and turned around to face the tailed beast directly.

"What do you want to do now?"

Mio Isobu watched as Nara Rinka turned away, forcing himself to remain calm, and uttering the most cowardly words in the toughest tone.

I don't want to fight you right now.

Nara Rinka looked at the stubborn gray tortoise and found it somewhat amusing.

"Well, I'm too lazy to hit you now... Let's not talk about that anymore."

Nara Rinka waved his hand, indicating that they should skip the topic of battle.

"Isobu, you should have a good enough understanding of your situation by now, shouldn't you?"

Of course, the Three-Tailed Isobu knew its current status—a defeated one.

Most of the tailed beasts follow the natural law of survival of the fittest.

A win is a win, and a loss is a loss.

Although Mitsuo Isobu was somewhat stubborn, he wasn't so stubborn as to deny the defeat he had just suffered.

"I told you, I'm no match for you..."

Mio Isobu spoke in a deep voice.

Unless it is manipulated or forcibly provoked.

Otherwise, the tailed beasts would be able to communicate and interact with humans normally.

The intelligence level of the tailed beasts is no lower than that of the toads of Mount Myōboku or the snakes of Ryūchi Cave!

Observing Nara Rinka's words and actions, Mitsuo Isobu deduced that the other party probably wanted to talk to him about the issue of "dealing with the defeated," so he took the initiative to ask.

"What do you intend to do with me? Like King Mu?"

Like King Mu?

How dare you, you big tortoise, compare yourself to King Mu?

King Mu's single jade foot was enough to crush you, you ugly giant tortoise!

Nara Rinkachi was internally complaining, but he didn't say it out loud.

In his eyes, the Five-Tails, Kokuo, was a super white deer, unparalleled in the ninja world.

But perhaps in the eyes of the Three-Tails Isobu, its own shell is the most beautiful thing in the ninja world.

Nara Rinkazu would not argue with others over such personal aesthetic issues.

"You are different from King Mu."

Nara Rinkaku stated bluntly.

"To me, there is no point in having you by my side."

"Therefore, I intend to hand you over to the village—that is, Konoha."

Nara Rinka's real intention was to sell the three tails to the village.

But in front of Isobu Mio.

Nara Rinka certainly couldn't speak so heartlessly.

They should at least consider King Mu's feelings!

"Konoha! Hashirama Senju!"

A fierce rage flashed in Mitsuo Isobu's eyes as he immediately thought of an enemy he had never forgotten for decades.

Once upon a time, it was just a little turtle living happily underwater.

Until that man named Hashirama Senju came knocking and grabbed its shell...

That wretched Hashirama Senju!

The Three-Tailed Isobu stared at Nara Rankaku, his tone filled with rage, "Are you planning to hand me over to Konoha and then seal me away like you did in Kirigakure?"

"To me, it doesn't matter whether you seal it up or not."

Nara Rinka spoke the truth.

"But the village certainly won't let you continue living in this wild state."

"Tailed Beasts are born free—"

"But you have already lost."

Nara Rinka calmly interrupted Mitsuo Isobu's words.

"The first time, it was forcibly captured as a tailed beast weapon used to attack the Konoha ninja forces; the second time, it was defeated by me one-on-one on the high seas."

"If it weren't for King Mu's feelings, I could have sealed you away right now without having to explain anything to you."

"Or do you want to fight me again, and then be forcibly sealed away again?"

The Three-Tailed Isobu is burning with rage.

But strangely enough, it actually felt that Nara Lan Gui's words did make some sense.

Compared to the inexplicable Hashirama Senju back then.

Nara Rangsuke's attitude towards it has indeed been quite tolerant...

Moreover, what makes the Mitsuo Isobu most unable to resist is that it is indeed no match for Nara Rangsuke.

If the opponent uses that special chain ninjutsu again, and then combines it with that strange explosive ninjutsu...

Isobu felt he could go directly to see the Sage of Six Paths.

Is it to go to the Pure Land and reunite with the immortals of the Six Paths?

Should we just lower our heads and listen to Nara Rangsuke's arrangements?

To be or not to be?

Mio Isobu chose to shrink back.

"If I were to be sealed away, I would want to be sealed inside you."

"Don't say that, Isobu, I'm afraid King Mu will misunderstand."

Nara Rinka remained silent for a moment, directly shattering Mitsuo Isobu's daydream.

"Besides... that might be a bit much... but I really don't think much of you."

Lies won't hurt the turtle.

The truth is the fastest way to cut.

Despite clearly feeling Nara Rinka's heartfelt sincerity, the Three-Tails Isobu only wanted to blast this arrogant ninja to pieces with a single Tailed Beast Ball!

You can't beat them in a fight, and you can't win an argument with them.

Mio Isobu gave up on himself and became a true coward.

"What exactly do you want?"

"Get insurance first."

Nara Ranke casually drew the ninja sword "Kojizo" from his waist and cut his own palm.

"Sign a spirit contract with me, Isobu."

The presence of the Six-Tailed Saiken is indeed relatively low...

However, it possesses a technique called "Hiruma," which can be used to secrete highly acidic liquids.

This form of ninjutsu is exactly the same as Mei Terumi's [Lava Release].

Just as Old Purple learned [Molten Release] from the Four-Tails, Han learned [Boiling Release] from the Five-Tails.

The story is set in the Kirigakure village, which, during its contact with the Six-Tails, also developed the Kekkei Genkai [Lava Release] by referencing the Six-Tails' abilities.

This point should have been mentioned in the author's remarks in chapter 228, but I forgot...

Here's some additional information.

The second update will probably be around 5 PM?
