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

Chapter 539 Chakra Armor!

"The Hokage has excellent eyesight."

Feng Hua Zaoxue adjusted his glasses, his kind face showing no trace of arrogance or complacency.

"I named this armor 'Chakra Armor' because of the 'Chakra Crystal' embedded in the chest of the armor."

"Speaking of which, this [Chakra Crystal] is a very rare item. Even though I have been constantly acquiring them over the years, I have only managed to purchase five or six."

Five or six?

Do people say that?

Nara Rinka unconsciously rubbed the ring a few times, a rather strange emotion welling up inside her.

Was he being flaunted in front of someone?

Surely it must be, right?

A single Chakra Crystal is priceless.

As a result, Feng Hua Zaoxue bought five or six of them.

Who does he think he is?

Nara Rinka wanted to give the other person a good scolding, but suddenly realized a problem.

For ninjas, even for the Nara clan, a special ninja clan that has raised deer and cultivated medicinal herbs for generations, [Chakra Crystals] are indeed priceless treasures.

But Feng Hua Zao Xue, he is the daimyo of the Snow Country!

In terms of strength, reputation, and so on, Kazaka Shoyuki is no match for Nara Rankei, the Fourth Hokage.

However, in terms of wealth, the daimyo is definitely richer than the ninja!

Even the Hokage!

Thinking of this, Nara Rinka quickly calmed down.

He has no interest in money.

Among the countless ninjas, Kakuzu is probably the only "outlier" who tirelessly pursues the accumulation of wealth.

I have no idea what Kakuzu is trying to do with all that money he's making...

Nara Rinka no longer focused on the wealth of the daimyo of the Land of Snow, but instead concentrated on the topic of [Chakra Crystals].

"Speaking of [Chakra Crystals], there is actually a special 'connection' between me and Your Majesty."

Nara Rinkei raised his right hand, showing Fuuka Sayayuki his ring inlaid with [Chakra Crystal].

"Back then, my family sponsored me with a Chakra Crystal, which is how I discovered the wonderful uses of the Chakra Crystal."

"Afterwards, I specifically asked my family members to help me collect more Chakra Crystals, but instead I discovered information about the Daimyo."

Feng Hua Zao Xue is not a fool.

At least his brain isn't slow.

Kazaka Hayate immediately realized the meaning behind Nara Ranke's words—this Fourth Hokage of Konoha had once tried to purchase Chakra Crystals, but he had taken almost all of the Chakra Crystals that the other party had detected…

"I never expected there to be such a connection..." Fuuka Hayate chuckled dryly.

"In fact, I came to the Land of Snow today for a rather important purpose, which is to purchase [Chakra Crystals] from Your Majesty."

Nara Rinka lowered his right hand and said frankly.

"But now it seems the chances are slim..."

Nara Rinkazu had not expected that upon entering Kazaka Sayasu's private laboratory, he would see a [Chakra Crystal].

But since Kazaka Hayate has already used this [Chakra Crystal] to create a set of "Chakra Armor".

Even if the opponent has other [Chakra Crystals], they probably won't have any left.

Perhaps, Kazaka Hayate has already forged all of his Chakra Crystals into Chakra Armor.

Therefore, Nara Rinkaku did not intend to force the issue.

Chakra crystals are indeed useful to him, but they are not indispensable.

Nara Rinka also has a "budget limit" for purchasing the [Chakra Crystal] from Kazaka Sayasu.

After the conversation, the Hokage sadly discovered that his "money power" seemed to have no effect on the Daimyo of the Land of Snow.

Because Feng Hua Zaoxue's "money power" is stronger than his!

"What makes you say that, Hokage?"

Feng Hua Zaoxue shook her head, walked to a corner of the laboratory, opened a drawer, and grabbed something from it.

"Actually, I still have a few Chakra Crystals left here."

"If the Hokage needs it, you are welcome to take it."

Kazeka Hayayuki returned and opened her right hand towards Nara Kusanagi.

Two chakra crystals of different colors, shapes, and sizes were quietly placed in his palm.

An overwhelming sense of extravagance, like a towering mountain, washed over us.

Kazayuki Kazahana just said that he has already acquired five or six [Chakra Crystals].

However, judging from the fact that the other party casually pulled out two [Chakra Crystals] from the drawer, this seemingly boastful statement might actually be a bit too modest...

Nara Rinka remained silent for a moment, then pushed Kazeka Shoyuki's hand back.

In his view, the reason why the Daimyo of the Land of Snow was so generous was threefold: first, because Minato Namikaze had "saved him" before; second, because of the Fourth Hokage's status and position; and third, because the other party was indeed wealthy.

As the saying goes, one should not accept rewards without merit.

Minato Namikaze's actions were backed by a mission log.

Nara's laurel tree has not shown any particular favor to the wind, flowers, and early snow.

For no reason at all.

Nara Rinka doesn't want to get Kazeka Sakayuki's [Chakra Crystal] for nothing.

"I appreciate your kindness, Your Excellency."

Nara Rinka waved his hand, directly refusing the gift from Fuuka Sakae—he still planned to find an opportunity to buy it with money later.

"However, I'm a little curious, why does Your Majesty want to acquire so many [Chakra Crystals]?"

"Of course, it's because this gem-like [Chakra Crystal] is really useful."

Kazayuki pinched a Chakra Crystal between her thumb and forefinger, held it up in mid-air, and the faint light shone on the crystal, scattering a shimmering glow.

"When I first learned of the existence of the Chakra Crystal, I also knew that it was a gemstone containing extremely powerful energy—this knowledge came from the Ninja Temple."

So you used this "gem" to make armor?

Nara Rinka outwardly agreed and nodded, but inwardly he was complaining.

Sir, are you sure your last name isn't "Stark"?

"Just like this chakra armor!"

Kazayuki led Nara Rinka to the cold, austere chakra armor and took the initiative to explain.

"When I obtained the first [Chakra Crystal], I was thinking about how to utilize the energy within this gem."

"The final conclusion is that I can use this gem as a kind of energy core to create a tool."

"After much thought, I created this chakra armor."

"Lord Hokage, do you know what functions this chakra armor has?"

Nara Rinkachi calmly replied, "I would like to hear the details."

"Yes, I specifically sought out the Angry Man to test the capabilities of this armor."

Feng Hua Zao Xue was halfway through his sentence when he realized he was about to say his brother's name, and reluctantly changed his words.

"In ninja terms, this chakra armor can amplify the user's chakra, enhance the power of ninjutsu attacks, and even create an invisible defensive barrier around the armor."

"And all of this is thanks to the abundant energy contained within the [Chakra Crystal]."

At first glance, this chakra armor seems to be the culmination of cutting-edge technology!

To ordinary ninjas, this armor was practically a legendary "divine weapon".

But Nara Rinkachi changed his mind.

The functions described by Kazeka Hayayuki are exactly the effects that [Chakra Crystal] should have, aren't they?

Nara Rinkachi suddenly realized the core function hidden beneath these surface functions—

Perhaps because Hayayuki Kazahana was not a ninja, the great inventor himself was unaware of this "core function".

But as a ninja.

As a ninja who already possesses and can manipulate [Chakra Crystals] at will.

Nara Rinka, however, discerned the true core of the study of "Wind, Flower, and Early Snow"—

The other party did not know what method they used.

It bypasses the rule that "in order to use [Chakra Crystal], you must be able to resonate with it".

This allows anyone wearing the chakra armor to directly utilize the chakra within the chakra crystals on the armor!

This is real cutting-edge technology!

Two updates today.

First update.
