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

Chapter 553 Self-Developed Bloodline Elimination!

[S-Rank Miscellaneous Item: Shadow Chakra Manufacturing Method]

[Item Description: Knowledge and Technology]

[Item Effect: By simultaneously using Yin, Water, and Earth chakra in precise proportions, a new [Shadow] chakra is created.]

[Item Description: Embrace the shadows, or die in the darkness!]

The new technique created by the fusion of Yin Release, Water Release, and Earth Release undoubtedly belongs to—

Bloodline Elimination Technique!

Due to the unique nature of this new bloodline limit technique, Nara Rinkei named it "Shadow Escape".

As the name suggests.

【Shadow Escape】, the omnipresent and freely flowing shadows!

As a bloodline limit technique, [Shadow Escape] combines the adamantine defense of [Kai Escape] with the physical immunity of [Abyss Escape].

At the same time, like [Shadow Release], [Flame Release], and others, [Shadow Release] can be forcibly activated by personal will.

To put it simply, Shadow Escape can be performed without hand seals!

Currently, Nara Rinkachi's most satisfying aspect of [Shadow Escape] lies precisely in this.

According to his personal beliefs, hand seals and such are just too low-level...

The Unbound Ninjutsu, the eternal god!

of course.

Although [Shadow Release] has now incorporated Yin Release, Earth Release, and Water Release.

However, Nara Rangke did not stop there.

A single nature transformation is a standard ninjutsu.

The dual nature of this change is the bloodline limit.

The triple nature change is a bloodline elimination.

Meanwhile, the technique that encompasses the seven elements of Yin, Yang, Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, and Thunder is called Bloodline Net!

Between Bloodline Elimination and Bloodline Entanglement, there is a fusion of four nature changes.

Nara Rinka plans to take it one step at a time, gradually upgrading his Shadow Cloak.

The current Shadow Escape is a fusion of Yin, Water, and Earth.

In the future, the [Shadow Escape] could be a fusion of six elements: Yin, Yang, Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth!

As for the highest level of bloodline limit...

Once you reach the level of Bloodline Limit, the concept of "ninjutsu" no longer exists.

Nara Rinkaku hasn't thought that far ahead yet.

anyway.

Thanks to the newly developed bloodline elimination technique—[Shadow Escape].

Nara Rinkachi's mastery of many ninjutsu techniques has undergone a "version update" that can be described as a leap in class.

It was originally an ordinary ninjutsu, but it was transformed into a bloodline limit ninjutsu.

Not only that.

Nara Rinka is still working intensively on the "Sage Mode" of [Shadow Escape], attempting to develop an even more powerful "Shadow Escape Sage Mode".

At last.

Because of the [Shadow Release Chakra Creation Method], there are also new achievements such as [Abyss Release] and [Boiling/Ice Release Sage Mode].

Nara Rinka's own attributes have also been greatly improved.

By learning and mastering multiple ninjutsu techniques, your [Wisdom] and [Ninjutsu] attributes will be enhanced! Your overall rating will be improved!

[Wisdom and Wisdom: S→S+]

[Ninjutsu: S-→S]

Overall rating: S-→S (Super Shadow level)

Looking at the entire "Kage-level" ninja circle.

Nara Rangsei's current strength level is also extremely outstanding.

Perhaps they are not even comparable to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, those two "reincarnations of gods".

But he's much stronger than everyone else!

If Nara Ranke were to research and develop the "Shadow Escape Sage Mode," or further increase the number of nature transformations and fusions of [Shadow Escape] by one level...

His personal abilities can definitely be further enhanced!

In contrast to the "easy-to-improve" attributes of [Wisdom] and [Ninjutsu],

The [Strength], [Speed], and [Precision] attributes of Nara Rinka increase relatively slowly.

Even though they already possess the [Yang Release Chakra Mode] as part of their daily training and improvement.

The speed at which Nara Rinkachi improves its [precision] is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

To this day, Nara Rinka's "Rikisou Sei" is only ranked A.

Another example is his physical skills.

Although over the years, Nara Rinka has been "inherited" from Tsunade and has also received a lot of Steel Fist Fluid Technique from the Fire Temple and the village.

However, Nara Rinka is not a traditional taijutsu-type ninja.

His physical skills can only be described as "good enough".

In reality, it's barely even an A grade.

Ok……

Autumn of Konoha, 50th year.

Aside from Nara Rinkazu's personal strength improvement as the Fourth Hokage.

Many of Konoha Village's internal and external plans have reached the harvest season.

For example.

After a very long period of wrangling.

The agreements and intentions reached at the Five Shadows Summit last year are finally ready to be implemented.

among them.

It took a huge sum of money from Kumogakure to redeem Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails from Konoha.

This Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who had been imprisoned in Konoha for an unknown amount of time, was eventually sold back to Kumogakure in a whole piece of land.

This transaction was also approved by Nara Rangsei.

The Eight-Tailed Gyūki and Killer Bee have a very close relationship.

If it can be sold separately, Nara Rangsei would certainly prefer to sell them separately.

However, apart from Kumogakure, the three villages of Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure have no intention of purchasing tailed beasts.

Of course, Konoha can also choose not to sell.

But Kirabi is no ordinary person.

By keeping the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki imprisoned for an extended period, Konoha also had to bear certain risks!

Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village is currently far too weak.

Even Troy, the Magnet Release ninja who was the Fourth Raikage, was incredibly weak.

If this continues, the balance of power among the villages will definitely be affected.

For the sake of the overall picture.

Nara Rinkei ultimately chose to "sell" Killer Bee back to Kumogakure.

This also helped to balance the strength of the four villages: Cloud, Mist, Rock, and Sand.

Also.

The Hidden Mist Village spent a large sum of money to buy back the seven ninja swords that they had accidentally "lost" on the battlefield from the Hidden Leaf Village.

To be precise.

Nara Rinka kept the [Great Sword Samehada] and [Double Sword Hiramekarei] for himself, and gave the [Long Sword Sewing Needle] to Shizune.

The Lightning Blade Kiba was taken by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who planned to reward a meritorious Lightning Release ninja in the village later.

The only three ninja swords that Kirigakure redeemed were the Executioner's Blade, the Exploding Blade, and the Blunt Blade Kabuto.

The [Decapitation Blade] can absorb iron and repair its blade.

【Exploding Knife Droplets】can be attached with detonating tags and explode when the knife is swung;

[Dull knife cutting] can be done with a hammer in one hand and a large knife in the other.

In short, it's very useful—probably.

Iwagakure originally wanted to take this opportunity to redeem the Five-Tails and its former Jinchuriki, Han, from Konoha.

Unfortunately, Nara Rinkazuchi would never let the five-tailed beast leave.

As for the Han dynasty.

Nara Rinkazu gets a little angry whenever he thinks of this guy.

He kindly allowed the other party to "stay" in the underground research institute for so long.

As a result, after successfully learning the [Dead Demon Sealing Technique], Han chose to commit suicide.

Before committing suicide, Han also took a White Zetsu with him.

Nara's expedition yielded only a small amount of insignificant observational data.

He originally intended to use Han as a tool to gather more information about the [Dead Demon Seal], the [Grim Reaper Mask], and the Grim Reaper.

I never expected the other party to be so clean and decisive in seeking death!

Not making a profit is a loss.

How could Nara Rinka feel happy about this?

Therefore, the Fourth Hokage directly rejected Iwagakure's ransom request.

At last.

After painstakingly digging sand in the desert for more than half a year, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure finally raised enough money to ransom the people.

Ebizo can finally go back!

Meanwhile.

After years of dedicated training, it's finally time for Ms. Yecang to "emerge from seclusion"!

Second update.

Goodnight everybody.

No extra debt repayments today...
