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

Chapter 32 A-Rank Ninja Tool: Chakra Crystal!

Chakra crystals?

Nara Rangsei once again looked puzzled.

Do ninja tools of this type still exist in the ninja world?

It sounds like a recovery item that can replenish one's chakra.

The problem is, would the First Hokage need this thing?

Nara Rinkachi's mind began to form with general information about the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

The "True God of Ninjas" who pacified the chaotic world;

The most representative figure of "Chatundra";

The legendary "strongest ninja";

The reincarnation of "Asura";

It is known as the "human-shaped miniature divine tree";

The "Hot Mom" ​​who deceived Madara Uchiha's feelings (crossed out)...

In Nara Rinka's memory, there was absolutely no such thing as "lacking chakra" for Senju Hashirama.

How can we describe the level of chakra that Hashirama Senju possessed?

It can be roughly regarded as "seventeen-year-old Naruto Uzumaki (the real body)" plus "half of the Nine-Tails (Yang Nine-Tails)".

The so-called "human jinchūriki".

Its full name is actually "The human body contains chakra power comparable to that of Hashirama Senju." (Just kidding)

A normal Ashura reincarnation: with the power of the Nine-Tails, they join forces to fight against the Indra reincarnation.

The unusual Hashirama Senju: He brutally beat up Madara Uchiha, the reincarnation of Indra, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

Nara Rankei once suspected that Hashirama Senju might have mutated and reverted to his ancestral form...

Just as Nara Rinka was marveling at the strength of the giant pillar.

The old clan chief was still dutifully explaining what "chakra crystals" were.

"The so-called chakra crystals."

Nara Kano said slowly.

"You can think of it as a materialized, solidified aggregate of chakra."

"For ordinary ninjas like us, the energy contained in chakra crystals is virtually inexhaustible."

"The energy we consume during use may not even be as much as the energy that the chakra crystals replenish on their own."

After listening to Nara Kano's story, Nara Rinka had a question in his mind.

"Clan leader, from what you're saying, chakra crystals are indeed a very powerful ninja tool."

Nara asked curiously.

"So how did our clan obtain this ninja tool from the First Hokage?"

"Hmm? Obtained from the First Generation?"

Nara Kano scratched his beard.

"No, I think you've misunderstood, Lan Gui."

"Although they are both chakra crystals, the one that our family possesses is different from the one that the First Hokage had."

"Moreover, our family can't use the First Hokage's chakra crystals at all!"

"And if I remember correctly, the First Hokage's chakra crystals should have been inherited by Tsunade by now."

The relics that Tsunade inherited from the First Hokage?

Nara Langui quickly searched her mind.

"The so-called chakra crystals are actually just that First Hokage's necklace?"

The first necklace, a special item left to Tsunade by Hashirama Senju.

This necklace was first given to Nawaki by Tsunade, and then Nawaki died in the Second Shinobi World War...

Later, Tsunade handed him over to Dan Kato, who then died on the battlefield, his kidneys blown off...

It was eventually given to Naruto by Tsunade. This time, Naruto was alright, but the necklace was lost...

In short, this is a very dangerous and legendary necklace that is suspected of being cursed.

"The Nara clan's chakra crystals shouldn't have anything to do with the First Hokage's necklace that Tsunade possesses, right?"

Nara Ranka secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

We are about to reach the Temple of Fire.

Whether it's Nara Kano or Nara Rangsei, everyone falls silent at this moment, no longer discussing private matters.

It seems the old clan chief informed the Fire Temple of his impending visit in advance through some means.

As the two arrived at the gate of the Fire Temple, a bald monk dressed in plain robes walked out of the temple.

"Shikano."

The monk clasped his hands together and smiled warmly.

"And this young benefactor."

"Lan Gui, this is the abbot of the Fire Temple."

After returning the monk's greeting, Nara Kano quickly introduced Nara Rinka to him.

"Master Zhongjue".

Nara Rinkaku watched the old clan chief's actions and, following his example, bowed and greeted Chungaku.

"Zhongjue, these are this year's medicinal herbs."

Nara Kano untied the huge scroll he had been carrying all the way and handed it to Nakagaku.

"War is imminent, and the quantity of medicinal herbs has been reduced significantly compared to previous years, but the quality has not been compromised."

As mentioned before, the Nara clan sells medicinal herbs to the nobles and dignitaries of the Land of Fire almost every year.

However, since the Nara clan is a ninja clan and their main area of ​​activity is Konoha, coupled with their "generally lazy" family characteristics...

The Nara clan did not conduct the business themselves, but instead delegated the task of selling the medicinal herbs to the Fire Temple.

This can also be seen as a way for the Nara clan to establish friendly relations with the Fire Temple.

"I have complete trust in the quality of the medicinal herbs produced by the Nara clan."

Zhongjue easily took the reel.

"I just wonder if the wealthy merchants and nobles in Kyoto will be satisfied with this year's limited allocation."

The secret medical book of the Nara clan records that "deer antler can invigorate the kidneys and strengthen yang, promote sperm production and blood replenishment, and nourish marrow and strengthen bones."

These kinds of medicinal herbs are not very effective for children of Nara Rinkasa's age.

But for some adults, it is extremely important.

"They will understand."

Nara Kano nodded, then moved on from the topic.

"Zhongjue, I have another purpose in coming to the Fire Temple this time, besides delivering the medicinal herbs."

"Retrieve the chakra crystal that our family placed in the Fire Temple."

Zhongjue did not hesitate, nor did he waste any words.

"plz follow me."

Nara Rinka and Nara Kano followed the old monk, walking all the way to the depths of the Fire Temple, and arrived in front of a wooden building that resembled a scripture pavilion.

After leading the two members of the Nara clan into the building, Nakaku retrieved a wooden box from somewhere inside and placed it in front of and behind them before quietly taking his leave.

The atmosphere in the attic was tranquil.

"This is chakra crystallization."

Nara Kano pushed the wooden box in front of Nara Rinka.

"Lan Gui, please open it and take a look first."

Upon hearing this, Nara Rinkachi took the initiative to open the wooden box.

Inside an unremarkable wooden box, on a piece of light green velvet, lies a crystal-clear, perfectly hexagonal indigo gemstone.

Nara Rinka gazed at the dark gemstone and looked up.

"Chieftain, what should I do now?"

Nara Rinka recalled the example the clan chief had given earlier.

Tailed beasts and their jinchūriki.

Should he seal this "stone" inside his body now?

It's more acceptable than sealing away living things...

"Remember that concept I mentioned before?"

Nara Shikano said calmly.

"Chakra Resonance".

Nara Rinka nodded.

"You yourself understand the basic principles of the Shadow Clone Technique and the Shadow Personification Technique."

Nara Kano continued.

"Chakra that comes from the same source, that is, chakra of the same nature, can resonate with each other, thereby being able to transfer and replenish chakra to each other."

"But what you may not know is that chakras with similar properties also have a certain chance of achieving chakra resonance!"

"This is also the core principle behind how a Jinchuriki can seal a Tailed Beast within their body and gain the ability to use the Tailed Beast's chakra."

"In the ninja world, only a very few people know this knowledge."

Nara Rinka nodded subconsciously.

This knowledge was also quite novel to him.

"I don't understand the deeper theories about Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki... After all, even our Nara clan hasn't seen many Tailed Beasts, let alone the legendary white deer—the Five-Tails!"

Nara Kano's tone wavered slightly as he spoke, as if he were expressing regret.

"If you have the chance in the future, Lan Gui... never mind, tailed beasts and stuff are too far away."

"Let's get back to the topic of chakra crystals."

Nara Kano paused slightly and took a deep breath.

"Jinchūriki can resonate with the chakra of the tailed beasts sealed within their bodies by using chakra of similar nature, thereby gaining the ability to use the tailed beast chakra."

"Analogous to chakra crystallization."

"If a ninja can resonate with the chakra crystal, he can also gain the ability to use the chakra energy contained within the chakra crystal."

"This is very important for you, Lan Gui!"

"Putting aside the Yin Release chakra passed down in your family, your physical constitution is very weak, and your chakra reserves are severely insufficient."

"This chakra crystal is the best solution I can think of for your physical problems right now!"

"Now you only have one last question in front of you."

Nara Shikano paused slightly in his speech.

"To resonate with and utilize the energy within the chakra crystal, your own chakra nature must be similar to that of the chakra crystal..."

"That's why I said before that whether you can get the second special reward depends on your own luck."

Nara Kano handed the wooden box forward.

"Now, Lan Gui, take this chakra crystal in your hand, extract your own chakra, and infuse it into the crystal."

Following the clan chief's instructions, Nara Rinka picked up the hexagonal indigo gem from the wooden box and infused it with chakra.

But just then, the [Lazy System] suddenly popped up.

[Rank A ninja tool [Chakra Crystal] detected!]

[Rank A Ninja Tool: Chakra Crystal]

[Ninja Tool Description: A refined natural energy gem]

[Ninja Tool Effect: 1. The [Chakra Crystal] contains a portion of A-rank chakra energy, which can be transferred and used by the user;

2. The chakra energy contained within the [Chakra Crystal] can be replenished by absorbing natural energy or by artificially injecting chakra.

3. The chakra energy contained within the [Chakra Crystal] can be artificially modified to acquire specific jutsu effects.

[Ninja Tool Evaluation: This energy is under my control]

In the next instant...

The indigo gemstone held in Nara Rinka's hand shone with a shimmering divine light on its smooth surface, making it incredibly mysterious.

"This is the symbol of chakra resonance!"

Nara Kano almost burst out laughing.

"Lan Gui, your chakra deficiency problem is solved!"

The Great Pillar is truly an exceptionally strong type.

The mere fact that it can suppress tailed beasts with Wood Release alone cannot explain this...

He was the only one in the entire Senju clan to have activated [Wood Release].

Later, the "Hashiro cells" evolved into something comparable to a cheat code.

Even a cheater can't compare to Big Pillar.
