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

Chapter 403 Opportunity!

The situation in Yekura is not good.

Yekura is in a tough fight.

Yekura struggled desperately.

Yecang's defeat was inevitable.

Snapped--

A loud thud echoed far and wide in the empty canyon, and the round, thin-skinned water bag was slapped, creating astonishing ripples.

With her body aching and her limbs weak, Yekura was suspended in mid-air by the [Shadow Gathering Technique], like a big orange cat that had completely lost its dreams in life, with no more chakra to be squeezed out of her empty body.

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

[You have obtained a Rank B Ninja Scroll!]

Nara Ranka gently flexed her fingers a few times, savoring the full, soft touch of the peach, and without thinking, she delivered another slap.

Yekura felt a surge of anger and turned her head to glare at Nara Ranka, who was standing right behind her.

You're such a suck-up, aren't you?

Sorry, it was a slip of the hand.

Meeting Yekura's questioning gaze, Nara Rinka offered a perfunctory apology without any sincerity, and then extended his right hand.

As the saying goes.

Hibiscus on the cactus, dripping like dew from a golden plate.

"Isn't this the Valley of the End?"

Yekura looked at the incorrigible Nara Rinka and found it utterly unbelievable.

"The First Hokage is right there watching you!"

what?

Nara Rinka subconsciously turned her head to look at the bald statue standing on the right side of the Valley of the End. (Actually, Madara Uchiha's statue had a spiky head, making Hashirama Senju's statue appear bald.)

After a moment's hesitation, Nara Rinka changed the binding position for Yokura.

He did not loosen his grip on Yecang.

Yekura's chakra was depleted.

If Nara's embankment were to loosen, then Yokura would now be sinking to the bottom of the Valley of the End.

"Ahem, well..."

Nara Rinkazu clenched his right fist and coughed lightly twice, pressing it to his lips.

"Yes, as I just told you, if your skill level meets my requirements, I'll have more good news for you."

"Again?"

Yekura took a deep breath.

"Do you think that Rasa becoming the Fourth Kazekage is good news for me?"

"Why not?"

Nara Lan Gui is full of nonsense.

"If he doesn't become the Fourth Hokage, how can you become the Fifth Hokage?"

What you said...makes absolutely right!!

Yekura gritted his teeth.

If she weren't no match for this guy no matter where she fought, she would definitely teach him a lesson!

"So, can I hear the second 'good news' now?"

"More or less."

Nara Rinka nodded.

"Aside from your combat awareness, your basic level has recovered to the Jonin level."

"If you also include [Burning Release] and [Swift Release], you shouldn't find many opponents among ordinary Jonin."

"If you ask me, even the current Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure wouldn't be a match for you."

Has the Hidden Cloud Village also chosen a Fourth Hokage?

Yecang was slightly taken aback, having received new information from Nara Rangsuke.

Wait, something's not right!

"While I don't consider myself particularly strong, is the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure really that weak?"

Have you ever heard of Troy, the Magnet Release ninja from Kumogakure?

Nara Rangsuke has released more information.

"He is now the Fourth Hokage of Kumogakure."

Magnet Release Ninja Troy?

Yekura's brows furrowed slightly.

She had heard of this name.

In the ninja world, ninjas with bloodline limits are naturally superior to others.

However, the truly powerful clans with bloodline limits are mostly concentrated in Konoha and Kirigakure.

Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Kaguya, including the now-vanished Uzumaki... and so on.

While the three villages of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure (except for Sunagakure) possess organized bloodline limit units, very few ninjas have managed to stand out or even make a name for themselves based on their bloodline limits.

The reason why Yekura knew about "Magnetic Release: Troy".

One reason is that the Magnet Release bloodline limit is the only one in the Hidden Cloud Village.

On the other hand, it's because Rasa's bloodline limit is also Magnet Release!

However, according to Yekura.

Rasa's magnetic escape has the main characteristic of controlling gold dust.

Troy, it seems, uses magnetic escape to control metal?

Sunagakure and Kumogakure are too far apart and do not border each other, so the ninjas in the villages have too few opportunities to "interact" with each other.

Yekura also had no idea what Troy's Magnet Release was all about.

However, the fact that the other party was able to earn the title of "Magnetic Release Ninja" indicates that their strength level has indeed reached a certain level.

Furthermore, the identity of the Fourth Raikage also indirectly confirms this point.

"Troy, so weak?"

All I can say is that he's probably weaker than you right now.

Nara Rangsuke also knew little about Troy.

But what he knew was...

In the normal Fourth Shinobi World War, Pakura, Troy, Gari, and other ninjas were "elite Edo Tensei ninjas" summoned by the same batch of dream master Kabuto, and they all possessed special bloodline limits.

They were all dead, all ninjas with bloodline limits, and their strength was roughly the same. (Troy was even the weakest, using Magnet Release to control his shuriken...)

Yekura and Troy were roughly ninjas of the same level.

But that was before.

Yekura has now successfully mastered [Swift Escape].

Even though she hasn't yet developed any powerful bloodline limit ninjutsu.

However, with the two bloodline limits complementing each other, Yekura is definitely stronger than her contemporaries in history.

With a slight conversion, it's clear that Bitroy is stronger.

However, Nara Rinkachi also said that this is only the current Troy.

Yekura was able to learn [Swift Escape] from him.

Troy from Kumogakure might also be able to learn the Lightning Release Chakra Mode from the village's secret techniques.

Nara Rinkazu had previously looted some of the secret techniques of Kumogakure, but he did not take away all of them.

If it's true that the Hidden Cloud Village didn't have a backup for its core inheritance, such as the Lightning Release Chakra Mode...

Nara Rinka would never believe it.

Therefore, Troy in the future may also grow into a powerful man with "Magnetic Release" and "Body Refinement".

Ok?

With this configuration, it shouldn't evolve into some kind of magnetic field freak, right?

That's a really extreme idea...

Yekura was unaware of Nara Rinka's divergent thinking; she simply made a quick mental calculation.

Troy was weaker than her.

Troy is the Fourth Raikage.

So becoming the fifth generation doesn't seem like a difficult thing for her.

"And what about Rosa? Compared to me?"

"You don't need to compare yourself to Luo Sha."

Nara Rinkasa snapped out of her daze and gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Let's talk about something happier..."

Yekura wasn't stupid, and immediately rolled her eyes.

She can accept being weaker than others.

But Luo Sha?

Those are mortal enemies!

No!

I need to practice more!

Keep practicing!

"So? What's the good news, or rather, the second piece of good news?"

"At the Five Kage Summit a few days ago, the other villages made a request to Konoha to redeem the war criminals."

Nara Rinkasa suppressed her smile and said calmly.

"Among them is Ebizo."

...?

Yekura blinked.

When a question mark pops into her mind, it doesn't mean there's a problem with her; rather, it means there's a problem with what Nara Ranka said.

"I don't understand."

Ye Cang shook his head.

"Are you planning to sell me and that old man Ebizo back to Sunagakure together?"

"Of course not."

Nara Ranka denied it.

"However, in my opinion, you can indeed go back to the village with Ebizo."

"This is a rare opportunity."
