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

Chapter 35 [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique]!

"Heh!"

"roar!"

Before Nara Rinkazu even got close to the training grounds of the Fire Temple, his ears caught a burst of passionate and wild roars.

He instinctively stopped and looked at the clan chief beside him.

"Um?"

"The ninja monks of the Fire Temple have extremely high requirements for their physical fitness."

Nara Kano remained calm, making no mention of the embarrassment he felt when he first heard that male roar.

"You can think of Lan Gui as a group of taijutsu-type ninjas who specialize in the steel fist style."

"For a ninja monk, he can go a day without food, but he cannot go a day without physical exercise."

A taijutsu-type ninja of the Steel Fist style... um...

Nara Rinka subconsciously thought of a group of youthful kappa dressed in dark green bodysuits.

That's even scarier!

But since we're already here...

Nara Rinka continued to walk a few more steps forward, and then he caught a clearer, dull thud in his ears.

Just like those youthful kappa, they are engaged in one intense and exciting physical collision competition after another in front of us.

This time, before Nara Rinka could even look at the clan chief...

Master Zhongjue appeared again quietly, as if he were a gust of wind, and drifted to the front of the two of them.

For some reason, Nara Rinkei always felt that the abbot of the Fire Temple was probably a person of temperament who came and went like the wind.

Nara Kano greeted him with a smile, "Zhongjue, I brought Lan Gui over to see the unique training facilities at your Fire Temple."

Master Chung-kyu responded with a smile, "The Fire Temple will not refuse any visitor."

Nara Rangatsu added, "Master Chukaku, I would like to have a practical exchange with the ninja monks of your temple. Would that be convenient?"

The clan leader's intentions had already been revealed when he gave away the [Chakra Crystal] that morning.

He hoped that Nara Rinka could spar with the ninja monks of the Fire Temple to test the effects of the [Chakra Crystal].

Even if the clan chief doesn't mention it.

When Nara arrived at the Fire Temple, he wouldn't let the ninja monks there go unpunished.

Even if the idea that "the Temple of Fire is suspected of possessing a special Sage Mode" is just a vague rumor or speculation.

Nara Rangsei wouldn't easily miss out on the opportunity presented by the title of "natural energy."

"You're too kind, young benefactor from Nara."

Master Zhongjue put his hands together, nodded, and smiled.

"I'll make the arrangements."

Just as I observed before.

Standing to the side, Nara Kano looked pleased, stroking his beard and smiling.

"In the notoriously lazy and complacent Nara clan, a truly diligent and ambitious genius has emerged as a descendant!"

Let's not dwell on the old clan chief's wild thoughts.

Nara Rinkaku followed Master Chungaku into the training grounds of the Fire Temple.

This is a large open-air training ground, with training equipment for physical fitness piled up in various corners of the walls.

In the central area of ​​the training ground, a group of bald, muscular, shirtless men, drenched in sweat, were practicing their physical combat skills.

With the exception of a very few special cases.

Most ninjas do not deliberately pursue or train their physical abilities to the limit.

But Nara Rangsuke had to admit it.

The sheer impact and shock of this scene of muscular giants gathered before me...

It is indeed powerful and strong!

As expected, moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, while excessive exercise attracts the same sex.

Nara Langui conducted a self-examination.

If it weren't for the fact that he had spent most of his ninja talent on "mental energy" and "knowledge learning" throughout his life...

Perhaps he will have to take the path of a pure physical combat-style ninja.

"However, physical skills also rely heavily on talent."

"The difference between a martial arts genius and a martial arts mortal is probably like the difference between Rock Lee and Might Guy..."

Under Master Zhongjue's arrangement, a muscular bald man emerged from a large group of burly men and came to stand before them.

"Ji Riku, 12 years old, is an apprentice ninja monk."

After listening to Master Zhongjue's introduction, Nara Rinka looked at the muscular bald man opposite him.

It turns out he was the monk from the Fire Temple who could later summon "mini Gundams"...

Jiroku also knew why Abbot Chung-jue had called him to step forward, and he kept staring intently at Nara Rin-kasa.

The person opposite me looks so thin; he clearly hasn't exercised much. My muscle mass should be greater than his...

Nara Rinka and Jiriku arrived at an open area and cast the "Sign of Opposition" on each other.

This is a basic etiquette that ninjas must follow before actual combat sparring, and there is also a corresponding "Seal of Reconciliation".

The seals of opposition are formed.

The next moment, Jiriku lowered his right hand, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and stomped his feet repeatedly on the ground, quickly approaching Nara to embrace the cassia tree.

"This level of speed... a genin-level ninja monk?"

Nara Rinka had a sudden thought and originally intended to use the [Shadow Technique] directly.

However, considering the Chakra Crystal he obtained that morning, he abandoned the idea of ​​using his family's secret technique to end the battle instantly.

While Nara was pondering, Jirachi approached.

The monk stomped his foot hard on the ground, leaping into the air with a powerful motion. His right leg rose high and slashed down like a battle axe, aiming straight for his opponent's head.

Bang!

A dull thud followed.

The feedback from his heel as he kicked something solid made Di Lu slightly happy.

But when he looked closely, he saw no human body, only a cloud of smoke and a few flying wood chips.

He hadn't just kicked his opponent; it was just a wooden stake that had appeared out of nowhere.

E-rank ninjutsu: Substitution Jutsu!

"As Jiraiya leaped into the air, he took advantage of the fleeting blind spot to use the [Substitution Jutsu] and moved away from Jiraiya's position."

Master Zhongjue, who was watching from the sidelines, spoke calmly.

"Kano, Nara's combat intuition is quite accurate."

As one of the three body techniques taught at the Ninja Academy, the Substitution Technique is only at the E-rank difficulty level.

It is neither a "space-time ninjutsu" nor a "life-saving technique".

The Substitution Technique is essentially just a very low-level technique that makes the opponent mistakenly believe that the attack has succeeded.

Jiro landed heavily on the ground, his feet planted on the wooden stake, his eyes fixed straight ahead, where he saw Nara Ranka's figure.

[A D-rank ninja battle mission has been detected!]

[Rank D Mission: Apprentice Ninja Monk of the Fire Temple]

[Mission Objective: Defeat/Kill Apprentice Ninja Monk Jiraiya]

[Mission Reward: D-Rank Ninja Scroll]

[Mission Note: A D-rank ninja battle mission against the same target can be completed once a week.]

Nara Rinka ignored the mission information that popped up on the panel and remained in the posture of the newly formed Seal of Opposition.

He raises his right forearm and holds it upright in front of him, extending his index and middle fingers and bringing them together; this is the "mudra of opposition".

Basic ninja knowledge: The opposing hand seals, performed with one hand, are one of the methods for refining chakra.

E-rank ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique!

Two clones, identical in appearance and build to Nara Rinka, appeared around his body.

Nara Rinka stepped forward, and his two clones also rushed towards the location of the land.

"Are they only using low-level ninjutsu like substitution jutsu and clone jutsu?"

Nara Kano stroked his beard, a smile barely concealed on his aged face.

"I thought Lan Gui would just use her clan's secret ninjutsu right away..."

"That's a ninja's clone technique!"

Di Lu's pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze instantly shifted downwards.

"Ordinary clone techniques aren't difficult to distinguish; with careful observation, you can tell which one is the original!"

The [Clone Technique], which is also of E-level difficulty, can only create phantoms that do not have a physical form, and naturally do not even have a shadow.

By recognizing whether a shadow exists, one can distinguish between the "original body" and the "clone"!

The left clone has no shadow, middle...

Lu observed clearly the differences between the three clones.

The three Nara Rinka simultaneously unleashed their agility, charging forward like arrows released from a bow.

[Body Instantaneous Movement Technique]!

Wow, so fast!

Before Jiri could react, Nara Rinka had already closed in on him.

The right and middle clones instantly exploded into a cloud of smoke and dissipated into the air.

Meanwhile, the true form on the left raised its left hand at the opportune moment, gathering chakra in the chakra points on its left hand, and then punched forward along with the movement of its left fist.

boom!

Nara Rinkazu's left fist struck Jiriku's chin squarely, causing the latter's head to turn to the side with the force of the blow.

In an instant, Di Lu felt as if a whole Buddhist and Taoist ritual had been performed in his head, with chimes, cymbals, and gongs ringing out all at once.

The jaw area of ​​the human body has a rich distribution of vagus nerves. When an attack touches the jaw area, the vagus nerve that is hit will transmit the pressure to the main neural tube of the brain, thereby causing the brain to feel dizzy.

As long as a ninja is still a human being, he cannot ignore the existence of this kind of nerve shock.

However, it seems that Jiraiya underwent very rigorous training in endurance at the Fire Temple.

Nara Rinkazu's left straight punch did not knock him unconscious on the spot; he only appeared somewhat dizzy.

and so……

state!

Nara Rinka acted decisively and delivered another punch.

This punch from "Bang" made Master Zhongjue's eyelids twitch slightly, and made Nara Kano's mouth twitch.

The ground collapsed in response.

The panel also refreshes at this time to display a notification that the task is completed.

[You have defeated the D-rank ninja combat objective!]

You have obtained a D-rank [Ninja Scroll]!

"Another D-grade roll..."

Nara Langui had no expectations and casually clicked on the [Ninja Scroll].

"It can't be another teleportation technique, can it?"

[Opening...]

[This D-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank D Spell: Immortal Clan Guiding Technique]

[Technique Description: Guiding Qi to harmony, drawing the body to suppleness, a fundamental training method passed down for thousands of years by the Fire Temple, optimizing body and mind through the use of spiritual energy.]
