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

Chapter 380 The Wood Release Squad Training Plan!

The entire village of Konoha is paying close attention to the Fourth Hokage.

There were quite a few ninjas who aspired to become the Fourth Hokage.

But there are only a handful of people who are truly qualified to become the fourth generation.

Although Tsunade and Nara Rinka severed Orochimaru's hands and killed Shimura Danzo in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, both of them ultimately had their own faults.

To put it bluntly...

Both Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura deserved to die!

Nara Rinka and Tsunade's actions may displease Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But if the latter truly intends to use this as a pretext to coerce or interfere with the Fourth Hokage's election campaign...

Nara Rinkazu is not incapable of presenting reasons and evidence that "Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo must die!"

In that case, the undignified person might become the Third Hokage...

Of course, it's unlikely that Hiruzen Sarutobi would forcibly halt the election for the Fourth Hokage.

On one hand, this Third Hokage did indeed have a plan to take over the Hokage throne.

On the other hand, Nara Rinka's strength is indeed greater than Sarutobi Hiruzen's!

In the ninja world, strength is the only truth.

Nara Rin listened quietly to Tsunade's plan, his hand on the latter's shoulder seemingly unable to find a foothold and tending to slide down.

"So, old man, you still need to—stop fooling around! This is Hokage Rock, not your backyard!"

Tsunade's tone suddenly changed, and she slapped Nara Rinkazu's hand with a hint of annoyance.

"Sorry, sorry, it was just an unconscious action."

Nara Rinka offered a half-hearted apology, after which a strangely shaped black shadowy creature emerged from his shadow, carrying him and Tsunade into the sky above Konoha.

"Just find a place where no one can see you."

The shadow creature hovered high above Konoha, slowly flying towards Kikyo Castle outside the village.

Nara Rinka lay back on the [Shadow Creature]'s back, her head resting on the large white sheep's plump thighs, looking up at the round moon.

"You...you..."

A blush rose on Tsunade's fair cheeks.

"Is it a baby who hasn't been weaned yet?"

"Maybe?"

Nara Rinka, biting into a soft, fragrant mutton pie, mumbled something indistinctly.

"After fighting for so long, can't we at least enjoy ourselves?"

"Ouch—be gentle!"

Tsunade tugged at her clothes, making the blush on her cheeks even more intense.

"I'm still talking about serious business!"

"You tell me, I'll do it."

Nara Lan Gui calmly responded.

"Wasn't this a pre-arranged plan?"

"Um……"

Tsunade didn't want to argue too much with Nara Ranka, so she could only try to distract herself by talking.

"The election for the fourth generation should officially begin after the Five Kage Summit, and we still have some time to prepare."

"In addition, there's [Wood Release]..."

"Nara, besides Wood Release, what other bloodline limits do you possess? Are there more than those you told me about before?"

"I do indeed possess quite a few other bloodline limits."

Nara Lan Gui kneaded the moon and looked at Tsunade's rosy cheeks.

"Besides Wood Release, are there others, such as Scorch Release?"

"That Blaze Release user, Pakura? I already knew about that."

Tsunade pondered for a moment.

"Nara, what I'm about to say might be a bit presumptuous... but would you mind if I shared the bloodline limit you've developed with others?"

"On this point, I have no other opinion. As long as we can control the spread of the bloodline limit and prevent certain evil people from obtaining it, I don't care how many people can learn the bloodline limit."

Nara Rinka thought for a moment and vaguely guessed Tsunade's thoughts.

"Tsunade, do you intend to teach Wood Release to the entire Senju clan? Or will you teach it to other Konoha ninja based on their merits and contributions?"

If it's the former, Nara Rinkazuki wouldn't mind at all.

The reason he was able to research the Wood Release Chakra Creation Method was not only due to his own efforts, but also mainly because Tsunade and the Senju clan provided a sufficient amount of scrolls containing information on Wood Release ninjutsu.

If it's the latter, Nara Rangsuke wouldn't care much.

Again.

Hashirama Senju's Wood Release is completely different from other people's Wood Release.

If a ninja could break through his power ceiling by studying the scroll of the Wood Release Chakra Creation Method...

Perhaps you'd be even happier picnicking in Nara!

Not only Wood Release, but Nara Rinka also treats other esoteric bloodline limits in a similar way.

If you really care about the outflow of your bloodline limit.

Nara Rinka wouldn't have told Yotsuba about the existence of the "Swift Release Chakra Creation Method" before.

Aside from Wood Release, Nara Rinka doesn't care about the outflow of other Release-type Bloodline Limits such as Scorch Release, Explosion Release, Lava Release, Boiling Release, and Melting Release.

However, Nara Rinka's attitude becomes stricter towards new bloodline limits like [Swift Release] and [Steel Release], which are developed by reversing existing bloodline limits.

As for self-developed Yin Release bloodline limits like [Kai-eun] and [Yan-eun], which require no hand seals and can be activated instantly with a thought, Nara Rang-kei would almost certainly not teach them to others.

A ninja must always have some secret ninjutsu techniques.

of course.

If Nara Rinkachi successfully fuses with bloodline limits such as [Kai-eun] and [Yan-eun], or even fuses with the six elements of Yin, Yang, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and develops an even more advanced bloodline elimination technique...

Then the [Kai Escape] and [Yan Escape] techniques wouldn't be so precious.

Nara Rinka might also pass on these self-developed bloodline limits to other ninjas.

But that's a story for another time...

Now?

Nara Rinka's "tolerant attitude" is only limited to certain bloodline limits, of which [Wood Release] is one.

"Actually, both ideas exist."

Tsunade said seriously.

"Nara, after we've dealt with Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura one after another, the news that we know Wood Release can't be hidden no matter what."

"uh-huh?"

"It's not just the old man; the other ninjas in the village should also know about the reappearance of Wood Release."

"Um."

"If possible, I want to inform the entire village about the appearance of [Wood Release]."

Tsunade suggested.

"That will not only help enhance your personal prestige, but also strengthen the village's overall confidence and sense of honor."

The First Hokage's bloodline limit holds an absolutely special place in Konoha Village!

"Hmm."

"I myself also want to pass on the Wood Release technique to my clan and other commoner ninjas."

Tsunade patted Nara Ranka's head.

"I won't go into the details of the clan's pursuit of [Wood Release]..."

"The other talented ninjas in the village also admired their great-grandfather's power."

"If Wood Release can be widely developed and applied in the village, perhaps we can train a dedicated Wood Release ninja unit in the future!"
