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

Chapter 27: Lacquer Eyes VS Blood Dragon Eyes! (Please read on, please vote!)

"Shadow, binding spell?"

Miyajo En keenly grasped the keyword "shadow".

He instinctively wanted to look down and check the condition of his shadow.

But at this moment, Miyajo En realized that the simple act of bowing his head, which was usually so easy, had become incredibly difficult.

He could only roll his eyes down and barely make out the shadows of the two people that had overlapped at the beginning.

"Oh no! I've been hit by this kid's ninjutsu!"

Miya Shirohime secretly thought that something was wrong.

He subconsciously wanted to unleash the Blood Dragon Eye, a power unique to the Blood Pool clan.

But considering what he had done recently, he suppressed the impulse.

"No! The Ino-Shika-Cho trio from Konoha is nearby; we can't make too much noise..."

Miyajo En actively ruled out the possibility that Ino-Shika-Cho would discover his true identity.

If the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had discovered his presence, it certainly wouldn't be just this kid coming to make a move right now!

"Hey buddy."

Miya Shiro forced an ugly smile, blood continued to flow from the wound on his left hand, yet strangely it did not leave his palm.

"I've never heard of any shadow binding technique. Could you please let me go?"

"I'm just an ordinary caravan owner. If you have any orders or requests, feel free to ask."

"You're not exactly a respectable businessman..."

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party initiated communication, Nara Rinka decisively released another family secret technique.

[Rank C Secret Technique: Shadow Hanging]

[Spell Description: At the caster's request, the shadow transforms into a hand]

[Spell Effect: Materializes one's own shadow into a huge, powerful hand, using the extended shadow to reach towards the opponent's neck, directly strangling or even killing them.]

[Surgery Evaluation: Choking you, locking your throat]

After discussing with the old clan chief, Nara Ranke deduced that Miyajo En was most likely the ninja who escaped from the Land of Hot Water.

However, as long as the other party does not reveal conclusive proof of identity—namely, those "Blood Dragon Eyes" that symbolize the Blood Pool clan—they will not be affected.

Nara Rinka's "inference" can only be "inference".

Miyajo En was not a "rogue ninja from the Land of Hot Springs," but rather a "person who commissioned a B-rank mission from Konoha."

Therefore, Nara Rankei's chosen battle strategy was not to "kill the opponent," but to take down the opponent first!

Nara Rinka, who was in the state of "lacquer eyes", simply thought about it and did not need to form hand seals to perform the "Shadow Strangle Technique".

The shadow that was originally lying flat on the ground suddenly sprouted into a dark, thin shadow hand, which crawled upwards along Miyajo En's stiff, motionless legs, intending to lock his neck.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the approaching shadowy hand, and beads of cold sweat trickled down Miyajo En's forehead.

"Kid... I have no choice! I have to reveal some of my abilities!"

During the conversation, Miyajo En quickly checked and sensed his own condition.

He discovered that the other party's so-called "Shadow Binding Technique" only controlled his physical movement, without interfering with the flow of blood or chakra within his body.

This discovery filled Miyajo En with immense relief.

"For ordinary ninjas, restricting their physical mobility is certainly enough!"

"But for me, who possesses a bloodline limit, this is far from enough!"

Miyajo En's eyes sharpened as he unleashed a portion of the special bloodline limit ability originating from the Blood Pond clan.

The blood that was originally seeping out of his left palm was partially reversed by this force and flowed back into his body, directly accelerating the blood flow.

It was obvious that Miyajo En had just cut his left hand.

It wasn't an accident, it was intentional!

The shadowy hand was about to approach Miyajo En's neck, and the latter's face turned a bright red, and his chest pounded violently like a drum.

boom!

At this critical moment.

A dull thud followed.

Yuya Shiro's originally thin and weak body suddenly swelled up like an inflated balloon, and his visual width was violently expanded by almost double.

"It's a special ability similar to the Akimichi clan's Multi-Size Technique!"

Feeling the explosively increased resistance transmitted from the shadow tentacles, Nara Rinka's pupils contracted slightly.

"The information the clan leader gave us about the Blood Pool clan mentioned they could use illusion magic and control blood, but it didn't say they could do this much!"

At that moment, Nara Rinka reacted instantly.

The Blood Pool Clan has been gone from the sight of the world for far too long.

All the information about the Blood Pond Clan that the Nara Clan possessed long ago had become outdated.

Nara Rinka subconsciously wanted to increase the strength of the [Shadow Binding Technique].

But how could Miyajo En possibly let go of this hard-won opportunity to break free?

He gripped his left hand, and the remaining blood still on his palm, under the control of his mental power, was directly shaped into a blood-red shuriken.

Using his expanded body and increased power, Miyajo En aimed at Nara Ranke in front of him and fiercely swung the blood-stained shuriken in his left hand.

woo-

The bright red blood-stained shuriken spun and tore through the air, its power no less than that of an ordinary iron shuriken.

Nara Rinka's brows furrowed slightly.

The Ino-Shika-Cho team was secretly watching from the sidelines, as he didn't want to reveal the "Shadow Clone Technique's" "Shadow Object Immunity" ability so quickly.

"Then let's find another way to receive this blood-soaked shuriken!"

Nara Rinkazu's will was infused into the shadow, and the shadow instantly responded to its master's call, undergoing a violent transformation.

A thick shadow emerged from the corner of Nara Rinkazu's body, forming a small, exquisite, pitch-black shield that protected him.

[Rank B Secret Technique: Shadow Shield Technique]

[Spell Description: At the caster's request, the shadow transforms into a shield]

[Technique Effect: Infuses one's own Yin Release chakra into a shadow, materializing the shadow into a hard and sturdy shadow shield. The shadow shield can be placed in front of the user or wrapped around the user to achieve a defensive effect.]

[Spell Evaluation: Defense Descends!]

Snapped!

The blood-stained shuriken shattered against the shadow shield, failing to budge its opponent in the slightest. Instead, it shattered itself into pieces, with tiny droplets of blood exploding in mid-air like fireworks.

[A Rank B Ninja Battle Mission has been detected!]

[Rank B Mission: The Last Descendant of the Blood Pool Clan]

[Mission Objective: Defeat/Kill Yuuyajo En]

[Mission Reward: One Rank B Ninja Scroll]

A belated ninja battle mission notification popped up on the panel.

Nara Lan Gui flashed by in a single glance.

The situation is the same as the previous perception and speculation.

Miyajo En is not only a Jonin, but also the murderer who slaughtered the Blood Pond Clan!

However, thanks to that strange burst of power, Miyajo En had broken free from the control of the [Shadow Binding Technique] and was now trying to stay as far away from Nara Ranke's shadow range as possible.

call--

Under Nara Rinka's watchful gaze, Oyajo En's bloated body shrank back to its original slender form, like a deflated balloon.

"Hey bro!"

Miyajo En's face was very pale, but he still put on an expression of exasperation.

The Pig-Deer-Butterfly trio was watching them intently from the side.

Miyajo En did not believe that he alone could defeat the renowned Konoha ninja team head-on.

Not to mention he's not alone...

Therefore, even now, Miyajo En still intends to continue to conceal his true identity.

"Although I don't know what exactly happened just now, are you Konoha ninjas trying to go back on your word and ambush the mission client halfway through?"

The shadows beneath Nara Rinka stirred, concealing any traces of movement below.

"At this point, are you still planning to keep it a secret, Mr. Oya Castle?"

Nara Rinka spoke slowly and deliberately, but his tone was very flippant.

"Even those two moves just now were not techniques that an ordinary caravan owner could use."

"I admit that I did conceal some things."

Miyajo En was surprisingly compliant. He raised his right hand, and his palm emitted a greenish glow.

"But as a businessman who travels abroad, it's perfectly normal to learn some medical ninjutsu to protect himself and reduce injuries and losses."

"Including that gigantification technique we just saw? And the ninjutsu that manipulates blood?"

Miya Shiro pushed up his glasses, trying to keep his tone calm.

"A medical ninja, huh? As a medical ninja—Blood Dragon Eye!"

He was only halfway through his sentence.

Having already pushed his diamond-shaped sunglasses up to his forehead, Miyajo En unexpectedly used his bloodline limit ability.

If we let this kid keep bothering us, Ino-Shika-Cho and the others will definitely come over to check on the situation!

We can't delay any longer!

Suddenly, Miyajo En's eyes changed into another form.

The whites of his eyes turned blood red, his pupils became pitch black, and his pupils even turned into a light purple "straight-line pupil".

Two lines of blood flowed down from Miyajo En's eye sockets, leaving two glaring marks on his cheeks.

This is the bloodline limit of the Blood Pool Clan: Blood Dragon Eye.

"Kid, witness the illusionary abilities of the Blood Dragon Eye, once hailed as the 'Hypnotic Eye'!"

Miyajo En's eyes were fixed on Nara Ranka across from him, intending to pull the other into his eye technique illusion.

however……

boom!

The Nara Rangsei standing opposite was like a cloud of smoke, which exploded in mid-air.

From the shadows behind Miyajo En, another Nara Ranke emerged.

[Rank C Technique: Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique]

Nara Rinka stood behind Miyajo En, sparing no effort in using his spiritual energy to firmly fix the latter in place with the [Shadow Binding Technique].

"Gotcha! You ninja of the Blood Pond clan!"

【Shadow Shield】 is a skill that appears in the movie "The Will of Fire". It is one of Nara Shikamaru's abilities and its effect is to wrap a person in shadow for defense.
