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

Chapter 65 Mind-Body Conversion Puppet Curse Seal Technique!

"who I am?"

Yakushi Nonou noticed Nara Ranka's approach and glanced at the shadow below, intending to move two steps to the side.

"Nara-kun, what are you talking about? I am the director of Kikyo Orphanage."

But at this point, Nara Rinka had no intention of listening to what the other person was saying.

Through the conversation just now, he had already noticed the abnormality of "Yakushi Nonou".

And this final step is the last straw that breaks the camel's back!

If the other person really is Yakushi Nonou, she definitely wouldn't pay attention to the touch between their shadows!

Nara Langui allowed the other party to move to the side.

Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent stopped moving and relaxed, he unleashed the ninjutsu he had been preparing for a long time without hesitation—

【Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet】!

The black bullet streaked through the air, instantly traversing the brief distance between the two and disappearing into Yakushi Nonou's shadow.

"What is this...?"

Yakushi Nono's pupils contracted slightly.

She noticed the unusually fast-moving dark figure.

But at such close range, she had no way to dodge its attack in time.

Just as Yakushi Nonou was about to retreat, she suddenly found that her body was out of control.

"The Nara clan's Shadow Binding Technique..."

Yakushi Nonou was utterly shocked.

"That brat named Nara Ranka has actually developed a shadow binding technique that can be used for ranged attacks!"

But Nara Rinka had no intention of letting the other party go.

While instantly controlling "Yakushi Nono" with [Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet], he decisively activated [Lacquer Eye] and released another [Shadow Secret Technique].

Shadow Binding Technique!

A long, narrow shadow emerged quickly from beneath Nara Rinka, connecting to the immobile shadow of "Yakushi Nonou," firmly controlling the other's body.

"Nara-kun, what are you doing?"

Even at this moment, "Yakushi Nonou" maintained her disguise, her face showing both surprise and curiosity.

"I can—"

"Stop pretending."

Nara Rinkachi maintained the effect of the Shadow Binding Technique, his expression utterly indifferent.

"The way a real pharmacist like Nono communicates with people is nothing like what you do."

I hate repeating the same thing to someone twice.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Yakushi Nonou" forced a smile and stubbornly insisted, "I am Yakushi Nonou..."

Shadow Hanging Technique!

Nara Rankei, too lazy to waste any more words with the other party, directly replaced the Shadow Binding Technique with the more powerful Shadow Head-Strangling Technique, binding the ninja disguised as Yakushi Nonou with a more solid and powerful force.

A solid shadow shaped like a hand moved upwards, following the loose and sacred black and white nun's habit worn by Yakushi Nono, exerting a tangible pressure on the nun's delicate body.

"It's been attacked by the [Shadow Hanging Technique], but the effect hasn't worn off yet. Isn't it a shadow clone?"

Nara Rinka stared intently at Yakushi Nonou, her mind racing.

"This is indeed Yakushi Nonou's body."

"And this ninjutsu that has the effect of mind-body transformation... You're a ninja from the Yamanaka clan? Is this the Mind Transfer Technique?"

"Truly a genius of the Nara clan."

Seeing that the black hand formed by the Shadow Gallows was about to strangle her neck, "Yakushi Nonou" stopped pretending and just sneered, saying with a mocking expression.

"They figured out my abilities and background so quickly..."

"As expected, it's the Mind Transfer Technique of the Mountain Clan!"

Nara Rinkaku's tone was icy.

"We're both from the same family (pig, deer, butterfly), you don't think I don't know how to break the mountain clan's spiritual magic, do you?"

The Mountain Clan's Mind Transfer Technique, once successfully used, makes it extremely difficult for the recipient to expel the invading spiritual energy, but this is not absolute.

"Even if you knew, so what?"

"Yakushi Nonou" revealed a carefree smile.

"Are you willing to do anything to me, or rather, to this body?"

"When did you get the misconception that I'm a chivalrous person?"

Nara Ranke manipulated the [Shadow Hanging Technique], splitting his own shadow into individual hands, which were distributed across Yakushi Nonou's limbs: calves, thighs, forearms, and upper arms.

"Now, with just a little force, Yakushi Nono's limbs will bend and fracture directly."

"According to the effects of the Mind Transfer Technique, the damage suffered by the recipient will be returned to the caster."

"In other words, you could also suffer broken limbs and lose the ability to move!"

Upon hearing Nara Rinka's words, Yakushi Nonou bit her lip slightly.

"So you dare—"

click!

Nara Rinka's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he directly manipulated the Shadow Hanging Technique, which was used to bind Yakushi Nono's right arm, with a sudden force.

One shadow hand exerts force forward, and the other shadow hand exerts force backward.

There was a "click" sound.

Yakushi Nonou's right arm was instantly broken by the [Shadow Hanging Technique]. Her elbow joint was dislocated under the immense force, creating a bizarrely curved angle between her upper and lower arm.

"what!"

The intense pain caused Yakushi Nonou to let out a scream.

An invisible spiritual force simultaneously withdrew from her body.

Meanwhile, in a building near Kikyo's orphanage, a Root ninja suddenly let out a muffled groan as his right arm was instantly broken.

Nara listened intently, but there was no sound coming from around the Kikyo Orphanage. His brows furrowed slightly.

"To pluck the laurel..."

Yakushi Nonou's voice was weak, and her breath was feeble.

"Can you let go of me now?"

"I still can't tell whether you are the real Yakushi Nonou."

Nara Rinkashi withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"What was the first thing you said to me when we first met?"

Despite being unable to move, a blush still appeared on Yakushi Nonou's fair face after hearing these words.

"The first sentence..."

The bespectacled nun closed her eyes and spoke in a voice barely audible.

"Little brother, would you like to come home with your sister? Your sister's house..."

"alright!"

Nara Rinka decisively removed the Shadow Strike and quickly walked to Yakushi Nonou's side, supporting her swaying body.

"I'm sorry, Nono-nee!"

"It's nothing... hiss—"

Yakushi Nono took a deep breath, clearly because it aggravated the pain in her right hand.

"Should I go find a doctor?"

Nara Rinka heard Yakushi Nonou gasp, and her forehead quickly broke out in a fine layer of sweat, showing no trace of her previous calm demeanor.

"I am a doctor myself, why would I need anyone else..."

Yakushi Nonou frowned slightly, enduring her own pain as she offered a word of comfort.

She used her healthy left hand to feel around and examine her right elbow joint for a while, and then, enduring the excruciating pain, she put her arm back in place.

click!

Another heart-stopping cracking sound rang out.

Yakushi Nonou's right arm has returned to its original state.

"Oh, right, doctor!"

Nara Rinka breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Nonou-nee, you're a medical ninja yourself! You can use medical ninjutsu to help your arm recover faster!"

"no."

Yakushi Nonou briefly moved her right hand, shook her head, and stood up.

"When I was first controlled by the other party, they manipulated my body and made me take some kind of special drug that suppressed chakra."

"I can't refine chakra right now, nor can I use medical ninjutsu."

"Lan Gui, let's leave Kikyo Orphanage as quickly as possible. Those two ninjas are here for you!"

"Let's go together—"

Yakushi Nonou hadn't finished speaking yet.

Several shuriken flew in through the window at breakneck speed.

Their target was not Nara Rinka, but Yakushi Nonou, who had temporarily lost her chakra.

The sharp, spinning black shuriken is about to strike Yakushi Nonou's body.

At this critical moment, Nara Rinka manipulated the shadow beneath her to form an impenetrable shadow shield in front of Yakushi Nonou, firmly protecting her under the shadow shield.

Shadow Shield Technique!

Ding!Ding!

The shuriken collided with the shadow shield, producing a crisp impact sound, and bounced erratically to other corners of the room.

[A Rank B Ninja Battle Mission has been detected!]

[Rank B Mission: The Mountain Boar]

[Mission Objective: Defeat/Kill the invading Yamanaka clan ninja]

[Mission Reward: Rank B Ninja Scroll]

Nara Rinka hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

Another uniquely shaped scythe weapon flew in through the window.

This time, its target was no longer Yakushi Nonou, but Nara Ranke, who was standing to the side without any shadow protection.

Compared to the shuriken from before, the scythe flew at a slower speed.

Nara Rinka once again unleashed the [Shadow Gathering Technique], drawing some shadows from the shadow shield beside him to form a well-organized black web of shadows in front of him.

pat!

The scythe struck the black net formed by the [Shadow Gathering Technique], only slightly tugging at it before falling downwards without any power.

"A feint attack?"

Nara Rinka looked down at the ordinary sickle below, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Isn't that a bit too ordinary..."

Just then, an extremely short figure suddenly rushed into the room, but it was even faster than the first few shuriken.

Nara Rinkasa cautiously refrained from using the scythe on the ground. Instead, he manipulated the shadow tentacles beside him, materializing them into hard, sharp shadow spikes to retaliate against those who came towards him.

【Shadow Stitching Technique】!

"don't want!"

With a gasp from Yakushi Nonou.

The Shadow Stitch technique pierced directly through the short figure's body.

"You've been tricked, kid..."

A mechanical, indifferent female voice echoed in Nara Rinka's mind.

"Mind-Body Conversion Puppet Seal Technique!"

There are many ways to break the secret techniques of the mountain tribe.

For example... Sakura Haruno's second personality, her willpower explodes. (Episode 73)

For example... Mei Terumi slapped Ao awake (or knocked unconscious) who was under the influence of a mountain secret technique. (Chapter 473)

Ashin believes that the Mountain Clan's Mind Transfer Technique is a kind of Yin Escape Secret Technique similar to illusion, and should also be able to be broken by breaking illusions.

However, because this involves a certain degree of self-deception, I did not write it in this way.

Additionally, the [Mind-Body Conversion Puppet Curse Seal Technique] in this chapter comes from chapter 469 of the manga.

The phrase "When the Mind Transfer Technique is successfully used, the damage to both the recipient and the caster will occur simultaneously" mentioned in this chapter comes from chapter 55 of the manga.

Ino Yamanaka successfully controlled the Sound Ninja, but her Sound Ninja companions attacked her directly, causing her to bleed from the mouth.
