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

Chapter 433 S-Rank Technique: [Slug Great Split]!

Nara Rinka gazed at the newly acquired S-rank [Ninja Scroll] on the panel, her slightly rapid breathing gradually calming down.

In a ninja battle mission, the opponent may not gain anything, but he will never lose!

"Although it's not an SS-rank [Ninja Scroll], it comes from the Living Slug Sage, so let's open it!"

Nara Rinka raised his eyes to look at the Living Slug Sage who was constantly decomposing itself, and with a slight thought, he directly activated the S-rank [Ninja Scroll] on the panel.

[Opening...]

[This S-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[S-Rank Technique: Slug Grand Split]

[Technique Description: A full-body splitting technique performed using uncontrollable software]

[Spell Effect: Allows the body to freely split apart and reassemble itself.]

[Skill Evaluation: You may defeat one of me, but there are countless others like me!]

"Huh? It's this kind of ninjutsu..."

Nara Rinka raised an eyebrow, feeling a slight sense of regret.

"I originally thought I could get [Sage Mode - Shikkotsu Forest] or other high-level sage techniques from Shikkotsu Forest in one go, but I didn't expect to get one of the Living Slug Sage's signature techniques?"

According to Nara Rinka's intelligence, the Living Slug Sage possesses two abilities that can be described as "ninjutsu".

The first one is the [Tongue and Tooth Sticky Acid] that the Living Slug Sage used multiple times in the battle just now.

Nara Rangsuke doesn't know the specific grade of that acid technique.

But given its terrifying attack power, an S-rank rating is absolutely certain...

But what Nara Rangsei least wanted was [tongue and teeth sticky acid].

Even if this thing might be an S-rank, unsealed ninjutsu.

It wasn't because of some trivial issue like "disliking the ninjutsu attack method of spitting."

However, Nara Rinka had already obtained the Lava Release Chakra Creation Method from Kirigakure.

If he wished, he could immediately obtain an S-rank [Lava Release] ninjutsu by setting an S-rank clan mission for himself through his status as the head of the Nara clan. Its effect might not be inferior to [Tongue and Tooth Sticky Acid].

The second "ninjutsu" mastered by the Slug Sage is this [Slug Great Split].

Regarding this S-rank ninjutsu...

The experience of visiting Nara is also quite complex.

To say you don't want it is an exaggeration; this ninjutsu does indeed have some value.

Say you want it...

The ninjutsu 【Slug Great Split】 has a name that carries a very distinct racial connotation, clearly indicating that it is a ninjutsu only suitable for creatures like slugs.

Another example is probably "Tongue Battle Bond" produced by Mount Myōboku.

By sticking out his tongue, he bound the enemy tightly...

This function is probably only possible for "long-tongued creatures" like frogs and toads.

There are also those among the ninjas who have long tongues.

Like Orochimaru.

But even Orochimaru's tongue wouldn't be as long as those real toads of Mount Myōboku!

Let's return to the topic of the "slug split".

As the developer of this S-rank technique, the Slug Sage can use the [Slug Great Split] to split his own body at will, thereby creating one smaller clone after another.

At the same time, the Slug Sage can also use the ninjutsu "Slug Great Split" and the slug's own slippery and soft body to achieve an effect similar to "physical attack immunity".

But if it were Nara Rinka who performed this ninjutsu...

He probably doesn't have the ability to be "immune to physical attacks".

In fact.

Nara Rinka also mastered a ninjutsu of the same type as the [Slug Great Split], and its rank was not low.

An A-rank secret technique from Mu, the Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure—

The Art of Splitting!

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, developed the "Splitting Technique," which allows him to create a physical clone identical to his own body by promoting cell division.

The B-rank technique developed by Tobirama Senju: Shadow Clone Technique.

Although it is also possible to create physical clones.

However, the "physical clone" here is actually just a temporary entity created from chakra.

Once the Shadow Clone is attacked, there is a very high probability that it will dissipate on the spot.

The clones created by the [Splitting Technique] are different.

This Class A technique truly splits a person into two people from a physiological perspective.

After using the [Splitting Technique], the user's cell count and chakra will decrease.

Using gaming terminology.

The Shadow Clone Technique reduces the user's "mana".

The [Splitting Technique] consumes the user's "maximum health bar" and "maximum mana bar".

The latter is significantly more dangerous than the former!

As for the Living Slug Sage's [Slug Great Split]...

Before the Slug Sage arrived, Nara Rinka quickly reviewed the contents of the newly acquired [Slug Great Split] technique scroll in his mind.

"It also creates flesh-and-blood clones through cell division, which also reduces one's chakra limit and cell count..."

However, unlike the [Splitting Technique], the [Slug Great Split] can create an unlimited number of clones! It can split without limit!

"This ability might not be very effective for creating clones, but what if it were used for... cell cultivation?"

"Things like the [Sage Mask], the [Blood Pool]... these special ninja tools and the construction of special locations all require a large number of homologous cells..."

"This technique seems...not bad?"

Just as Nara Rankei was pondering the specific uses of the technique "Slug Great Split".

The cheerful slug fairy slowly "glided" over.

"Lord Nara, I think there's no one in the ninja world now who can rival you, is there?"

In the impression of the Living Slug Fairy.

Leaving aside "deities" such as Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Hamura Otsutsuki, Indra, and Ashura.

Among ninjas, those who can unleash giant ninjutsu reaching a height of 100 meters are truly few and far between.

Hashirama Senju.

Madara Uchiha.

There are probably only these two left.

Is it possible for another powerful figure like Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha to emerge in the ninja world?

That's very difficult.

Now, Nara has also unleashed a pitch-black giant that is hundreds of meters tall.

Although the appearance of this giant largely depends on the vast natural energy reserves of Shikkutsu Forest.

But it was, after all, a giant over 100 meters tall.

The Living Slug Immortal quite acknowledged Nara Ranka's strength.

"You said it yourself, it's a ninja world."

Nara Rinkasa composed himself and spoke calmly.

"I'm just a ninja, I don't have the power of a sage..."

"You're already very strong, Lord Nara."

"It's a living slug fairy," the fairy said softly.

"Now, let me teach you the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest!"
