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

Chapter 339 Uchiha Obito "Missing"!

Nara Rinka silently summoned her personal attribute panel.

To this day, his strongest attribute remains [wisdom].

The S-level [Wisdom] is truly outstanding on the personal six-dimensional panel.

Moreover, thanks to the secret techniques of Iwagakure, the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku, and especially the help of Madara Uchiha's private collection, Nara Rinka's [Wisdom] attribute grew the fastest among the six attributes.

In comparison, the fact that it still maintains an A- level of accuracy is somewhat disappointing.

The refinement of conventional chakra requires the combined action of physical and mental energy.

"Since my [Precision] has only barely broken through the Kage-level threshold, my regular chakra reserves can only be considered Kage-level."

"This little bit of chakra is definitely not enough for the Wind Release: Rasengan. This S-rank technique could very well drain all my regular chakra in one go, its combat value is just too low..."

Nara Ranka shook his head inwardly.

【Wind Release: Rasengan】is definitely an extremely powerful ninjutsu.

He had just quickly browsed through the scroll of the ninjutsu [Wind Release: Rasengan] and found that the development of this technique was very complete. It was not the kind of ninjutsu that could only be concentrated in the hand for close-range attacks.

This [Wind Release: Rasengan] technique can be used for ranged attacks without being held in the hand!

"Unfortunately, I already have the relatively low-cost [Dark Spiral Wheel], so even though [Wind Release: Spiral Shuriken] can be used without holding the weapon, it's not very useful to me."

"The main value of this S-rank technique probably lies in the nature and form changes of the [Rasengan]?"

"With the example of the [Wind Release: Rasengan], developing Rasengan with other attributes will become much easier..."

"Even Rasengans of other attributes consume a lot of chakra..."

"This thing really isn't for me!"

Nara Rinka just closed the panel.

Minato Namikaze, who had previously gone to the waterfall to investigate the situation, instantly returned.

Nara Ranka asked knowingly, "Brother Minato, have you found out anything?"

"no."

Minato Namikaze frowned and shook his head.

"I just went inside the waterfall to check it out. The scene in the cave behind the waterfall is not much different from when we left. Apart from a few snakes and insects, there are no other signs of biological activity."

"I also quickly checked the area around the waterfall, and there were basically no traces left by the ninjas."

"It seems that Madara Uchiha has not returned to the Land of Waterfall since that faked death."

That's only natural!

Nara Rinka outwardly nodded in agreement with the little sun's analysis, but inwardly he was complaining.

The true base of age spots is not in the Land of Waterfalls, but in the neighboring Land of Iron!

Nara Ranka had suspected before that this waterfall base might be a temporary base set up by Old Man Spot on a whim, specifically to deceive Konoha's targeted reconnaissance.

When the mountain graveyard of the Land of Iron was later discovered, Nara Rankei directly confirmed his conjecture.

This waterfall base in the Land of Waterfalls is truly a "maze" set up by age spots.

Since it was a hastily set up makeshift base, the senile spot wouldn't return here after successfully faking its death.

A string of sarcastic thoughts flashed through Nara Rinka's mind, but he only said them aloud.

"After what happened last time, Madara Uchiha will definitely be more careful to conceal his movements, making it much more difficult to find him again."

Nara Rinka can guarantee that everything he says is the truth.

Moreover, he can guarantee that even if Minato Namikaze turns the ninja world upside down, he will never be able to find Madara Uchiha again!

"That's true, phew..."

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air.

The last time he found Madara Uchiha's location, it was through the chakra carried in the talisman kunai that Madara had left in Kagami Uchiha's body.

With so much time having passed, it's easy to imagine the extent to which the chakra within that talisman had dissipated without careful handling.

Moreover, ninjas are creatures that are difficult to defeat in the same way.

Minato Namikaze used a talisman kunai to "precisely locate" Madara Uchiha last time.

The other party will definitely be wary of this approach.

For a skilled ninja, completely concealing their chakra fluctuations is an incredibly simple matter.

Minato Namikaze had a premonition that he would no longer be able to find Madara Uchiha's location using the methods he had used before...

Fortunately, Xiao Taiyang has a strong ability to manage her emotions.

This complex emotion came quickly and went quickly.

In Minato Namikaze's view, Madara Uchiha's resurrection was a foregone conclusion.

Since there's no way to quickly locate the other person, we can only search slowly.

Now the question remains: where exactly is Madara Uchiha, and what is he doing?

It's just a waste of energy.

"Lan Gui, wait a moment, I'll send a message to the village."

Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment, but instead of making a decision to return to the village immediately, he bit his finger.

"Spiritual communication!"

A small red toad, which had not been seen for a long time, appeared in front of Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato.

"Kousuke."

Minato Namikaze quickly drafted a mission report and handed the scroll to Kosuke Gamabunta.

"Please! Please convey this to the Third Generation Lord as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord Minato!"

Kosuke the toad took the scroll and immediately turned into a puff of smoke, disappearing from the spot.

"Lan Gui, let's rest here for a while."

After finishing all this, Minato Namikaze finally relaxed.

"Now we just need to wait for a reply from the village. Whether we continue our exploration within the territory of Taki no Kuni or return directly to the village... depends on the Third Hokage's orders."

While waiting for a reply from the village.

Nara Rinkazu is half-lying, half-sitting under the shade of a tree, contemplating whether or not to confess his "campaign plan" to the little sun next to him.

Although Konoha has not yet started the process of electing the Fourth Hokage.

However, the "prescient" Nara Rinka knew exactly who had become Konoha's "Eternal Sister"!

no doubt.

Minato Namikaze is the biggest obstacle in Nara's "election plan" to win the crown!

As for Orochimaru?

Orochimaru has too many "weaknesses" and too many "black marks".

Even if Nara Rinkazu didn't intervene, he wouldn't be a match for Namikaze Minato.

Not to mention that Nara Rinka has now decided to participate in the election for the Fourth Hokage.

Orochimaru is not a threat.

But the little sun...

"Um……"

Nara Rinka gave a long "hmm," intending to start a conversation with a random topic.

Unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze suddenly spoke up.

"I haven't had a chance to mention Lan Gui yet."

After a short rest, Minato Namikaze, having recovered from the fatigue of the long journey, smiled and said to Nara Rinkazu.

"Thank you so much for what happened to Obito!"

"I originally thought that Obito had really died on the battlefield. The village even built a grave for him. I never expected that you would find him."

Although Minato Namikaze had been staying on the battlefield in the Land of Rain for some time.

However, after finding Uchiha Obito in Nara, he still sent someone to deliver a message to him.

That is why Minato Namikaze expressed his gratitude to Nara Rangsuke at this time.

No matter what, Obito Uchiha was his student.

"Brother Minato, strictly speaking, it was the patrol team that discovered Obito Uchiha's trail."

Nara raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't bring him back to camp..."

Minato Namikaze smiled and shook his head.

That being said, Nara Rinka is, after all, the highest commander of the Kumogakure defense line, so Obito Uchiha's recovery should definitely be credited to him...

In any case.

The Water Gate team is now complete again!

Kakashi and Rin will probably be pleasantly surprised by this news, right?

"Speaking of which, how is Obito Uchiha doing these days?"

Nara Ranka casually steered the conversation around.

Has he fully recovered?

"He wasn't in very good condition when the patrol team found him before."

"……Um?"

Minato Namikaze frowned, realizing that things didn't seem so simple.

"Obito, wasn't he with your Land of Hot Water forces?"

No, that's not it.

Nara Rinkazu glanced at Namikaze Minato with some curiosity, and shook his head directly under the latter's gaze.
