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

Chapter 265 Project Two: The Yin Seal!

"The first attribute to break through to S-rank is indeed [Wisdom]!"

Nara Rinka glanced at the message notifications on the panel, then quickly checked himself again.

Long ago, when he had just mastered [Melting Release], his [Wisdom] attribute had already broken through to A+ level.

Now that he has researched and developed multiple chakra creation methods for bloodline limits, his [Wisdom] attribute has been upgraded to S-rank!

The panel's rating for S-class is "Super Shadow Level".

Finally, I have an attribute that can reach the threshold of the Super Kage level!

I was in a great mood after completing the self-inspection at Nara Sakura.

The benefits of successfully developing the [Wisdom] attribute, which primarily symbolizes spiritual energy, to S-rank are countless.

Most obviously, Nara Rinka's core ability right now—the Yin Release technique—will receive a multifaceted and direct enhancement as his [Wisdom] level increases.

There have been many improvements in other areas as well.

For example, after [Wisdom] breaks through to S-rank, Nara Rinka's speed in filling [Yin Seal] can also be increased significantly.

Perhaps he will soon be able to double the number of [Yin Seals]!

The increase from "1" to "2" is indeed a doubling...

"However, the first [Yin Seal] primarily stores the shadow chakra needed for shadow-based techniques such as the [Black Warrior] technique."

A few scattered thoughts flashed through Nara Rinka's mind.

"Once the [Yin Seal] is fully charged, the S+ level shadow chakra will be more than enough for the [Black Warrior] to squander..."

"Then perhaps the second [Yin Seal] could be used to seal other types of chakra, such as [Kai Release] chakra?"

The Yin Seal has never been limited to sealing Yin Release chakra.

As the first bloodline limit created by Nara Rinka, the [Kai-sen] chakra is a completely new nature transformation, but it can also be sealed into the [Yin Seal].

Well known.

From a bridge down to a mother up, everything is within the sealing range of the sealing technique.

The characteristics of 【垲遁】 are mainly concentrated on "shape change" and "defense strength".

The ability to change shape at will and the steel-like defensive strength give [Kai Dun] extremely wide versatility and flexibility.

Although Nara Rinka has only developed one B-rank [Kai-eun] ninjutsu so far – [Kai-eun: Armament].

However, it is undeniable that the application of [Kai-eun: Armament] covers almost every aspect of ninja combat.

Nara Rinka can not only use [Kai-eun: Armament] for self-defense, but also wrap [Kai-eun: Armament] around his own weapons, making him extremely flexible and maneuverable.

The most unique aspect is that [Kai Dun] has an external form that is almost identical to the Shadow Technique.

Unless Nara Rinka tells you personally, how can an outsider distinguish between [Kai-escape] and [Shadow Technique]?

In this situation, pre-sealing a large amount of [Kai-sen] chakra is indeed a good choice.

"But for me, simply using [Kai Escape] isn't very effective. Only when [Yin Seal] is used in conjunction with [Black Warrior] and [Rashomon] can it achieve its best results."

"So, using [Kai Dun] to push for version updates of [Black Knight] and [Rashomon]? That's a good idea..."

"The most basic version of the [Black Knight] doesn't have very high defensive strength. [Rashomon] is alright, but its durability could be further improved..."

With the experience of developing Rashomon as a foundation, Nara Rinka can refer to the cases of Wood Release: Ranking Technique and Rashomon to combine the techniques of Seal Release and Sealing Technique.

【垲遁】Their own defensive capabilities are already outstanding.

If the characteristics of [Sealing Technique] were incorporated into [Kai Escape], the defensive power of the new technique would...

It was so strong that even Nara Rinka was a little scared.

"It's decided! Grabbing the Tailed Beast Ball with one hand is the true romance of the Shadow Gundam!"

Nara Rinka quietly added the research plan for the new technique of [Kai-escape] to his schedule.

In fact, besides [Kai-eun], other bloodline limits such as [Touken] and [Laminate] can also be studied for their corresponding advanced ninjutsu.

However, on the one hand, Nara Rinkei's interest in these "conventional bloodline limits" is far less than that in his self-developed [Kai-den].

On the other hand, Nara Rinka can also obtain a fixed S-rank bloodline limit technique every month through his "clan chief authority".

After a while, Nara Rinkei simply stopped investing his energy in developing these "conventional ninjutsu-type bloodline limits".

"The most important research task at present is to continue combining Yin Release techniques with the Water Transformation Technique to research a second self-developed bloodline limit; secondly, there are experiments related to Sage Chakra; and then there are [Wood Release], [Wood Release], [Flying Thunder God Technique], and so on..."

Nara Rinka pondered his many research plans.

Time passed slowly, the sun set in the west, and evening was approaching.

Minato Namikaze quickly appeared and informed Nara Rinkazu and the two members of Minato's team that he was about to depart for the village.

Just like what Shikaku Nara reported before.

Minato Namikaze, Kagami Uchiha, and the rest of the ninja will accompany a large number of wounded, fallen comrades, and the "important people and corpses" such as the AB duo back to Konoha for rest and recuperation.

After Minato Namikaze left.

Nara Rinka decisively called a halt to Uchiha Shisui and his group's actions.

After thanking Nara Rin, the two members of the Minato Squad, Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara, quickly returned to their camp.

Nara Rinkazu temporarily kept three members of his own team behind.

"Shizune, how are you feeling? Your time with Isobu?"

"It's a feeling... hard to describe."

Shizune turned her head to look at the fierce-looking Three-Tailed Isobu, then turned back to gaze at the slender and beautiful Five-Tailed Kokuou.

"Compared to Lord Mu, Isobu seems a bit more difficult to get along with... but he's much better than I expected!"

Upon hearing Shizune's words, both Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Rei nodded in agreement.

Before getting up close to the Tailed Beasts, the three of them had mostly learned about them from stereotypical rumors among ninjas.

Things like "tailed beasts that bring disaster", "powers of fear and evil", and "ominous signs of death".

But after Nara made contracts with the Five-Tails and the Three-Tails, Uchiha Shisui and the others discovered that the Tailed Beasts were not as difficult to communicate with or as cold-blooded and brutal as they had previously imagined.

Of course... this is definitely thanks to the captain.

Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Rei, and Shizune all knew very well that without the captain's presence, neither the Three-Tails nor the Five-Tails would ever be as "kind and approachable" as they were now.

"Yes, that idea is correct."

Nara looked at Shizune with admiration.

"Tailed beasts are like a special kind of large summoning beast."

"Shizune, are you afraid of Orochimaru's giant snake?"

Silent nodded slightly, though she hesitated for a moment.

"meeting……"

Nara, having already accepted the offer, decisively changed his mind.

"Let's take another example, Jiraiya's giant toad."

Mute the lower volume channel.

"Actually, I think toads are... kind of disgusting creatures."

"Tsunade's slug!"

Nara changed his tune again.

This time, at least it didn't get negative feedback about being silent.

But this is not because Silent has no particular opinion about the live slugs in Shikkotsu Forest.

It's purely because of the silence... We haven't seen Tsunade's live slug yet!

Shizune's encounter with Tsunade occurred after the Second Shinobi World War.

At this point, Tsunade was suffering from hemophobia, so how could she possibly use summoning jutsu to summon slugs?

Shizune, who had absolutely no concept of the existence of live slugs, had no idea just how terrifying the last example Nara Rankei gave was.

The toads and snakes in Mount Myoboku and Yongchi Cave are all social animals.

But there's only one live slug in Shikkutsu Forest!

What appear to be thousands upon thousands of slugs of all sizes in the Wet Bone Forest are actually all smaller clones of the Living Slug Sage...

A cactus slug that can split itself – who wouldn't be confused?

"Mute, you need to realize one thing."

Nara Rinka looked at Shizune and gave her a serious reminder.

"Tailed beasts are like us ninjas; they can cry, laugh, and run—well, Isobu can only crawl."

"Well, we don't need to approach the Tailed Beasts with a sense of rejection or fear."

Faced with their captain's instructions, the three of them nodded on the surface, but were complaining in their hearts.

Only someone like you, Captain, wouldn't reject or fear the Tailed Beasts, right?

That must be because the tailed beasts reject and fear you!

"It will be a while before the village sends out specific instructions. In the next couple of days, you should work with Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara to familiarize yourselves with Isobu."

Nara Rinka continued.

"Of course, you can fight Isobu if you want. It's definitely a great sparring partner with top-notch resilience."

Shizune stammered slightly as she declined Nara's offer to take on the task.

"No, no need, Captain."

Whether the three tails can withstand pressure or remain silent is unknown.

But she certainly doesn't have the resilience of the Three-Tails.

"Shisui, Hinata."

Nara Rinka looked at the other two team members.

"And you?"

Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Rei shook their heads almost simultaneously.

They are definitely stronger than Silent.

But no matter how strong you are, you shouldn't be so reckless as to challenge the Three-Tails!

"Fine!"

Nara Rinka sighed with some regret. He genuinely felt that the Three-Tails was quite resilient and could definitely be a very good experimental turtle for ninjutsu.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"Shizune, do you know anything about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

The medic was caught off guard when her name was called by the captain again.

A little, but not much.

"Then let's try this ninja sword."

Nara Rinka took out a large sewing needle from the [Sealing Scroll] and casually engraved a [Contract Seal] on its hilt to prevent it from being forcibly summoned back by the ninjas from Kirigakure.

"One of the seven swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen: [Long Sword - Sewing Needle]".

This is the first update of the day... much later than expected, sorry.

The second update will be around 12 o'clock.
