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

Chapter 267 [Flying Thunder God Technique: Shadow Blade]!

The talents of different tailed beasts cannot be generalized.

The physical constitutions of tailed beasts and ninjas cannot be generalized.

The difficulty of teaching the Three-Tailed Isobu the Shadow Clone Technique far exceeded Nara Rinka's (clone's) expectations.

Back then, the Five-Tailed King Kokuou learned the [Summoning Technique] and [Reverse Summoning Technique] extremely quickly, and it didn't take long for him to be able to summon Nara Rinka unilaterally.

There must have been a pre-existing psychic contract involved.

However, the Five-Tailed King's own learning talent cannot be ignored.

In comparison.

There seems to be some kind of barrier between the Three-Tailed Isobu and ninjutsu that Nara Rinka can hardly understand.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Let alone the B-rank difficulty of the Shadow Clone Technique, even the E-rank difficulty of the Clone Technique, the Three-Tailed Isobu, couldn't learn it.

It's important to know that the Shadow Clone Technique is a ninjutsu of a high difficulty level, and almost every student at the Ninja Academy knows how to use it.

But Isobu Mio just couldn't learn it.

Nara Rankei suspected that Mitsuo Isobu was deliberately expending the energy of his Shadow Clone and displaying extremely poor learning ability in order to retaliate against his previous differential treatment.

He later realized that this turtle was really bad.

After spending most of the day teaching the Three-Tailed Isobu, the Shadow Clone couldn't stand the stupid "turtle student" any longer and simply handed the teaching task over to Kakashi Hatake and the other two.

At the same time, Nara Rinkachi also claimed that teaching the Three-Tailed Isobu the Shadow Clone Technique could effectively increase familiarity with the Three-Tailed Isobu and enhance the intimacy between them.

However, since both Nohara Rin and Shizune are medical ninjas, and both of them are genuine Chunin, this is not the case.

The task of teaching the Three-Tailed Isobu the Shadow Clone Technique ultimately fell to Kakashi Hatake.

If the slow speed of the Shadow Clone Technique when Mitsuo Isobu learned it from Nara Rinkei could be attributed to the enmity between them.

Kakashi Hatake also taught Isobu the Three-Tailed Beast for a period of time, but the latter still made no progress.

The gray shell that the Three-Tailed Isobu is so proud of is very effective in blocking the transmission of knowledge.

Until the very end.

At Nara Rinkazu's suggestion, Kakashi Hatake switched to teaching Isobu the Shadow Clone Technique, but still gained nothing.

In terms of learning ninjutsu, the Three-Tails Isobu really has no talent whatsoever.

The only commendable thing is that, after two days of teaching and interaction, Isobu's impression of Kakashi Hatake has improved positively.

Kakashi Hatake has facial paralysis, speaks little, and is withdrawn.

But at least it's not as cruel, violent, or sarcastic as Nara Rinka.

Sometimes, Mio Isobu felt that the way Nara Rangatsu looked at it was the same way it looked at the corals on the seabed.

His dignity was damaged at Nara Rinkazu, but he regained it with Kakashi Hatake and others.

How could Isobu not improve his impression of Kakashi Hatake and the other two?

That morning.

The five members of Nara's team and Minato's team arrived here as usual, spending their daily time with the tailed beasts.

Meanwhile.

Nara Rinka also received a memory from the [Shadow Clone].

Another study has been completed!

"It's the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Nara Rinka arrived at the temporary research base to check on the new technique that the Shadow Clones had just completed.

Based on Tobirama Senju's initial Flying Thunder God Technique, it incorporates Nara Rinkazu's own sealing techniques and Minato Namikaze's improved version of the Sword of Love.

This ultimately led to the creation of this brand-new S-rank technique—

[S-Rank Technique: Flying Thunder God Technique - Shadow Blade]

Nara Rinka closed his eyes, recalling the techniques the Shadow Clones had just completed, and then drew the chakra metal sword, "Little Jizo," from his waist. Its decorative function far outweighed its practical use.

He raised his right hand and pressed it against the black blade of the [Little Jizo]. A very complex sealing technique was immediately imprinted on the surface of the ninja sword, the pure black sealing characters almost blending into the smooth blade.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still faintly discern the four large characters branded on the blade: "Shadow Stream Blade"!

Nara Lan Gui held the [Little Jizo] in his hand, carefully experiencing the effects of his unique [Flying Thunder God Technique: Shadow Blade].

"Compared to Tobirama Senju's spider-shaped Flying Thunder God seal, the amount of chakra that the sealing symbol of the Shadow Blade can hold has been significantly increased, which greatly enhances the tactical value of the Flying Thunder God Technique..."

"But most importantly, only I can perceive and use the [Shadow Blade]; it's my own exclusive version of the Flying Thunder God technique!"

Gazing at the faintly visible "Shadow Blade" mark on the blade of "Little Jizo," Nara Rinkachi immediately had the idea of ​​testing this new version of "Flying Thunder God Technique."

"There is no fighting on the front lines of the Land of Hot Water. The Raikage of Nara has already returned to Kumogakure with the Amber Purification Bottle, and the Tsuchikage of Nara will soon arrive at Iwagakure..."

"I might as well take advantage of this peaceful period and quietly return to Kikyo Castle! Updating the [Flying Thunder God Technique] mark I left before will also make it easier to advance the [Wood Release] research plan..."

"Especially the experiment of synthesizing Sage Chakra requires extremely sophisticated experimental equipment, which is simply impossible to conduct in the crude and rudimentary research environment at the front lines..."

Nara Langui acted immediately.

He first retrieved the numerous [shadow clones] within the temporary research base.

Then, he injected enough chakra into the Shadow Blade mark on the Little Jizo statue and planted the ninja sword upside down in the temporary research base.

Finally, Nara Rinka cast a Shadow Invisibility spell on himself, completely concealing and severing his aura before disappearing from the spot.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

After several "transfers," Nara Rinka traveled directly from the Konoha camp in the Land of Hot Water back to Kikyo Castle on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

Kikyo City remains peaceful today.

Nara Rankei, maintaining his Shadow Invisibility Technique, returned quietly to the underground research institute without attracting anyone's attention.

Compared to before Nara Rinka left, the situation at the underground research institute has not changed much.

Despite being under semi-house arrest, Ye Cang continues to live the life of a pampered young lady who rarely leaves her home.

Meanwhile, inside the underground research base, Han, the former Five-Tails Jinchuriki who had somehow awakened, was chatting casually with White Zetsu.

There were only two "cellmates" in the underground research institute.

If Han doesn't chat with White Zetsu, he'll go crazy from boredom sooner or later.

"Han, do you know what it feels like to poop?"

"Can we stop talking about this?"

"Han, how did you fight Nara Lan Gui?"

"..."

Inside the spotless underground research base, conversations between Han and White Zetsu could be heard from time to time, but they almost always ended with the former remaining silent.

Nara Rinka's arrival went unnoticed by Han and Hakuzosu.

These two individuals' perception abilities were completely unable to penetrate the protective barrier of the [Shadow Concealment Technique].

"He still has the energy to speak; Han's condition seems relatively stable..."

Nara Rinkei stood in the central area of ​​the underground research base, quietly observing the condition of the first Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Extracting the tailed beast from the Jinchuriki's body and transferring a certain amount of its chakra back into the Jinchuriki before they completely die can actually save their life..."

I inexplicably feel like I've conducted an incredible experiment.

Nara Langui did not pay attention to Han for too long.

He returned from the Land of Hot Water with a "mission".

During those few transfers of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Nara Rinka has already tested the current maximum movement range of the [Shadow Blade].

If we compare the Konoha camp in the Land of Hot Water and Kikyo Castle to the two ends of a line segment.

Nara Rinkazu is not yet able to travel directly from one end of a line segment to the other.

However, by simply adding a [Shadow Blade] mark in the middle, he can return directly from the Land of Hot Springs to Konoha!

That means I've mastered the skill of "international teleportation"...

Of course, the movement range of [Shadow Blade] is determined by Nara Rinkei's own perception range.

Considering that Nara Rinka's true form is still practicing the [Immortal Breathing Technique] and [Immortal Guiding Technique] day and night, his perception range is also increasing day by day.

As long as Nara Rinka's perception is strong enough, the movement range of [Shadow Blade] can continue to increase.

Silently dispelling the [Shadow Invisibility Technique], Nara Ranke's figure appeared inside the underground research base.

Han and Bai Jue, who were imprisoned in the protective pillars, immediately noticed the appearance of this familiar figure.

Bai Jue had no intention of provoking anyone.

Han, whose Five-Tails power had been forcibly drained, angrily raised his hands and slammed them heavily against the glass protective pillar in front of him, producing a dull "thud".

"The shadow of darkness! It's you! You've finally returned!"

"Long time no see, you look as energetic as ever, Han."

Nara Ranka greeted him casually and went about his experiment.

"I'm so glad you're not dead."

He first took out a finely crafted kunai infused with chakra metal and branded it with the technique mark of [Shadow Blade].

"Of course I'm not dead!"

Han slammed his hand on the glass protective pillar in front of him again.

"Let me out!"

With his chakra firmly sealed, Han's own strength was completely insufficient to break through the solid glass protective pillar, showing none of the former prowess of the "Steam Ninja".

"Is this how you treat your savior, Han?"

Nara Rinka used the Shadow Blade kunai to gently cut open his palm, extracting a small amount of blood, and began the proliferation and culture of blood cell tissue.

"If you're smart enough, you won't keep talking nonsense."

"Or is it that you find life in this research base too comfortable and want to go to Konoha's interrogation department, or even Root, for a while?"

The weather is changing rapidly, so please take good care of yourselves.

The second update will be around 3 or 4 o'clock.
