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

Chapter 495 Master, I want to learn immortal arts!

Inside the Temple of Fire.

Over time.

The excitement of visiting Nara gradually subsided.

The "Pure Immortal Mode," with its "all-day battery life and endless energy," is certainly captivating.

But you have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time.

Taking too big a step can easily result in a "crack" and tearing your balls!

Research on the "Sage Mode" involves extremely high risks.

If Nara Ranka were to act impulsively and immediately begin sealing her own chakra while absorbing external natural energy...

Not achieving the expected goal, namely obtaining the power of "Pure Sage Mode," is not the most tragic thing.

Being turned into a stone statue by the near-endless interference of natural energy from the outside world is not the most terrifying thing.

What is the scariest thing?

Nara Rinka successfully sealed his chakra but failed to control natural energy, causing his physical condition to deteriorate. He went from being the Fourth Hokage to a vegetative state with only consciousness and no ability to move.

That's the most terrifying and tragic thing!

"Completely abandoning chakra and replacing it entirely with natural energy to develop an ultimate ninjutsu similar to the Six Paths Sage Mode is the ultimate goal on this path."

Nara Rinkazu's mind was churning with thoughts, and he organized his various inspirations into specific plans and goals.

"Developing the 'Pure Immortal Mode' generally requires a three-step strategy."

"The first step is to obtain from the Fire Temple a means to control natural energy without using chakra."

"Next, we will combine this special method with the two types of [Sage Mode] I currently possess to see if we can develop a Sage Mode driven by pure natural energy."

"Finally, he completely sealed his chakra, concentrating all his energy on 'Pure Sage Mode'!"

Nara Rinka was very clear about his three-step plan.

Neither the first nor the last step is particularly difficult.

Master Chukaku did not object to Nara Rinkaku obtaining research materials on this subject from the Hijira Temple.

If Nara Rinkei wanted to obtain the "pseudo-immortal technique" that the Fire Temple had been researching for thousands of years to manipulate natural energy, all he needed to do was submit an application report to Master Chukaku.

It's just something I mentioned briefly.

Thinking of this, Nara Rinka's thoughts suddenly paused for a moment.

He looked up at the pavilion, surveying the scenery inside the building.

Back when he first came to the Fire Temple, Nara Rinka had followed the old clan chief into this pavilion.

At that time, he had a very special impression of this attic.

Although the Fire Temple is a descendant of the Ninja Sect, the temple is full of muscular (crossed out) ninja monks who train their bodies.

However, the combination of a bald head, monk's robes, and the act of praying to Buddha still made Nara Rinka unconsciously associate the Fire Temple with another temple image that he was more familiar with.

The pavilion inside the Fire Temple is somewhat like the "Scripture Pavilion" of the Shaolin Temple, which transcends countless dimensions.

Speaking of which, the Nara clan also has a similar building, which houses medical and esoteric materials accumulated over thousands of years, called "Rokumeikan".

At this moment, only Nara Rinkasa was inside the wooden pavilion; Master Chungaku, who had led the way for him, was not there.

If Nara Ranke really wanted to loot the scrolls of documents in this attic, no one would stop him.

Even if all the ninja monks from the Fire Temple attacked together, they definitely wouldn't be able to stop him...

The future immortal duo, Kakuzu and Hidan, will be able to sweep through the Fire Temple, not only defeating all the ninja monks, but also forcibly taking away Jiraiya, the head priest of the Fire Temple, in broad daylight.

Hidan's unique techniques may have contributed to this.

That [Death Possession Blood] that can curse others by drawing a circle is a forbidden technique that is quite difficult to defend against, and can be considered a "first-time kill" type.

But right.

If Nara Rinka and the Undying Duo were to fight, he could kill them a total of "5+N" times!

The Fourth Hokage is not someone that the insignificant Immortal Duo can easily mess with.

As long as the Flying Thunder God Technique's jumping speed is fast enough, even the explosive shockwave of the Tailed Beast Ball can't catch up with the Fourth Hokage's back.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Nara Rinka's mind.

"If this pavilion is indeed the Fire Temple's library, does that mean that Master Chungaku had already decided to give me the Fire Temple's research materials on sage techniques when he invited me to become a disciple?"

"The abbot probably isn't petty..."

In any case.

Obtaining more, more advanced, and more comprehensive research materials on pseudo-immortal arts from the Fire Temple is not a problem.

For Nara Rinka, sealing his own chakra and training in "Pure Sage Mode" was not a difficult task.

The sealing technique is a special technique whose creator is unknown, but its inherent function is "sealing".

Up to the goddess of the Rabbit.

Down to half of the bridge.

There is nothing that sealing techniques cannot seal.

Danzo Shimura:?

Sealing chakra is nothing, it's a piece of cake.

Not to mention the sealing techniques data that Nara Rinkei has quietly accumulated over the years.

After becoming the Fourth Hokage, he inherited all the ninjutsu techniques passed down from the village's founding.

This includes the sealing techniques accumulated by the Uzumaki clan over a thousand years!

For Nara Rangatsu, sealing his own chakra was a trivial matter.

However, to truly achieve the effect of "abandoning chakra" as described by Master Chung-kaku...

Simply sealing one's own chakra is not enough.

Because chakra originates from spiritual energy and physical energy.

As long as these two elements remain, chakra can be continuously produced and generated.

Nara Rinka seals chakra, but it does not seal spiritual or physical energy.

These two energies are things that humans are born with, and they are also the special energies that support human life.

If either one is missing, whether it's mental energy or physical energy, one cannot survive.

Nara Rinka wanted to abandon chakra, not commit suicide!

anyway.

To "abandon chakra," it is not only necessary to seal the chakra that Nara Rinkei currently possesses, but also to prevent him from creating any chakra in the future.

This is destined to be a long road.

But once the core idea is there, solving this problem simply requires spending more time.

The real difficulty lies in the second step.

How can we perfectly combine Master Zhongjue's methods of manipulating natural energy with the "Sage Mode"?

Nara Rinka has absolutely no idea what to do about this.

But he was not discouraged by this.

Compared to the past, Nara Rankei felt that his current gains were already quite significant!

Furthermore, the fourth war is still a long way off.

Nara has plenty of time to prepare for and address these issues.

Now there is only one thing left for him.

"Master, I want to learn magic!"

I apologize for the late update...
