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

Chapter 67 B-Rank Technique [Perception]!

"A message pops up saying the mission is complete... This Root ninja is completely dead!"

Nara Rinka glanced at the messages on the virtual panel and felt a little more at ease.

On his way here using [Camouflage Concealment], he had already scouted the surroundings to confirm that there were only these two Root ninjas in this secluded building.

What if there was another person hiding in the shadows, using long-range sensory ninjutsu to tip off Shimura Danzo...

I'll just accept Nara's offer to be accepted!

"However, to deal with me and Nono-nee, they dispatched two Jonin at once."

Nara Rinka's cold gaze swept over the masked Wind Release ninja's corpse that had fallen from mid-air.

"The Root—or rather, that guy Shimura Danzo—actually values ​​the two of us quite a bit!"

If it weren't for Nara Rin's ability system being so bizarre and unique...

He's probably going to be taken directly to Root right now, just like that Root ninja said...

As for Yakushi Nonou.

Not to mention that she herself did not have the ability or means to break free from the spiritual secrets of the mountain tribe.

He was given a drug that suppressed his chakra by "himself".

For a short period of time, Yakushi Nonou's strength was no different from that of an ordinary person; at best, she could only be considered a well-trained nun.

In this situation, Yakushi Nonou will definitely be completely eradicated and eliminated by Root...

Nara Rinkazu glanced at another Root ninja in the room, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes. The Shadow Piercing Bullet condensed into a pitch-black bullet at his fingertips.

However, after a moment's thought, Nara Rinkei waved his hand and dissipated the black bullet in his hand, deciding to spare the other party's life for the time being.

"After destroying the mental consciousness of this mountain ninja, a message popped up on the panel indicating that the mission was completed."

"We've already got the [Ninja Scroll] that this person could provide, so killing her now won't bring any extra benefits."

Nara Rinka's gaze fell upon the Kikyo Orphanage not far away.

"Instead of killing her now to vent my anger, it's better to spare her life for now."

"Although one of the two Root ninjas who attacked me and Nono-nee was killed and the other was injured, the real mastermind is still hiding in the village!"

"This surviving attacker is the perfect tool to launch an attack on Danzo Shimura!"

Nara Rinka quickly considered his next move and unleashed the Shadow Hanging Technique without hesitation.

The shadow beneath him transformed into strong, powerful hands, snapping the left hand and both feet of the still unconscious female ninja from the Yamanaka clan, completely eliminating any possibility of her resistance or escape.

As for this female ninja's right hand...

Her right hand was broken before her left hand and legs were severed.

The psychological trauma inflicted on this female ninja from the Yamanaka clan by Nara Rinka's "Shadow Clone" seems to be exceptionally great.

After suffering the pain of losing an arm and a leg, the female ninja from the mountain clan only twitched slightly and showed no signs of regaining consciousness.

Nara Rinka ignored this and simply summoned the control panel.

The enemy has been dealt with, now it's time to take stock of the spoils!

"Two B-grade [Ninja Scrolls]."

Nara Rinka looked at the [Ninja Scrolls] section on the virtual panel, his mind simultaneously flashing through the ability information of the two ninjas he had just met.

"One is a Jonin of the Yamanaka clan, and the other is... uh, a Wind Release ninja?"

"It seems we can only hope for the contents of the former's scroll."

Nara Rinkachi was the first to retrieve the B-rank [Ninja Scroll] from the Root elite ninja he had killed.

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Technique: Wind Release: Vacuum Ball]

[Spell Description: A sharp aura that will pierce through the target]

[Technique Effect: When exhaling, the refined and accumulated Wind Release chakra is launched outward like a bullet through the chakra points in the mouth.]

It can limit the amount of Wind Release chakra output by controlling the rhythm of breathing.

It can be launched continuously or launched all at once.

[Technique Evaluation: Subordinates should not kiss their superiors on the lips!]

"What kind of weird lip-kissing ninjutsu is that?"

As Nara Rinka gazed at the [Wind Release: Vacuum Jewel] on the panel, a disgusting image suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Are all Wind Release ninjas from Root this kind of person?"

Having already acquired the Wind Release: Pressure Technique, Nara Rinkei didn't have high expectations for this Wind Release Jonin's Ninja Scroll.

Now it seems that it was indeed true—

"etc!"

Nara Rinka's gaze was focused on the effect of the [Wind Release: Vacuum Ball] technique, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"Is this a rapid-fire ninjutsu?!"

What truly surprised Nara Rinka was not the fact that [Wind Release: Vacuum Ball] was a "repeated ninjutsu".

The mere fact that [Wind Release: Vacuum Ball] is a "hand seal ninjutsu" is enough to sentence this Wind Release technique to death.

In actual ninja combat, the power and priority of hand seal ninjutsu are self-evident.

What Nara Rinka truly valued was the special technique recorded in the ninjutsu scroll of [Wind Release: Vacuum Ball] regarding "limiting the amount and frequency of Wind Release chakra output".

"Given time, if I were to incorporate this technique into [Shadow Piercing Bullet]..."

Nara is filled with anticipation for the arrival of the Osmanthus Festival.

"Could I create a shadow machine gun—no, a shadow Gatling gun!?"

In fact, Nara Rinka already possessed a "shuriken Gatling gun"—an A-rank technique called "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."

If only we had a "Shadow Gatling gun"...

Nara Rinkazu suddenly recalled the name of a ninjutsu called "Namikaze Minato Style".

"A technique that creates multiple shadow clones with sword shadows?"

He shook his head, dismissing the bizarre name of the ninjutsu from his mind, and then looked at another B-rank [Ninja Scroll].

The secret scroll that was initially not highly regarded turned out to be a good find.

So, should this secret scroll that I've always had my eye on also...?

Filled with anticipation, Nara Rinkashi opened another B-rank secret scroll.

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Technique: Perception]

[Spell Description: A high-level spiritual secret technique of the Mountain Clan]

[Spell Effect: Spreads one's spiritual energy outwards in all directions, allowing the perception of enemy location, number of personnel, and physical characteristics]

[Surgery Evaluation: Let Me Take a Look]

"Huh? It actually shipped!"

Nara was very satisfied.

As a member of the same Yin-style clan specializing in secret arts, he was already very interested in the spiritual secret arts of the Yamanaka clan.

However, due to the barrier of family identity, Nara Rinkei had never been able to access the mountain secrets that he could learn.

Now, thanks to a battle mission, I've obtained a mountain secret technique of a decent level!

"And it's a powerful [Perception] spell!"

Nara Rinka tentatively used the [Perception] technique, and his spiritual energy immediately surged out of his body, wandering in the small room.

"I sensed the chakra of a Yamanaka clan ninja, but there was another corpse..."

"Dead ninjas, having lost control of their spiritual energy, are also seeing their chakra dissipate... So what exactly is going on with Sasuke's cells!?"

Nara Rinka did not rashly release its spiritual energy outwards, but instead retracted it into its body.

Although he had not mastered sensory ninjutsu before, he was quite familiar with sensory ninjutsu due to his family background.

For the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan, while they can sense the enemy, if the enemy happens to be a ninja of the same senses type, they can sense the enemy in reverse!

Although Kikyo Castle is not as convenient as Konoha Village, Nara Rinka will still take this into consideration.

After sorting through his finds, Nara Rinka left a shadow clone in the room to protect the scene and the "evidence".

Immediately afterwards, he quickly returned to the Kikyo Orphanage.

At the Kikyo Orphanage.

The worried pharmacist, Nono, was pacing back and forth in her room.

She could have fired a signal flare outwards, using her status as a Jonin in the medical emergency team to summon the Konoha ninjas in Kikyo Castle.

However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and to prevent affecting the Nara laurel viewing...

Yakushi Nonou ultimately did not take any unexpected action.

It was precisely this feeling of "helplessness" that made the nun feel anxious and worried.

"I wonder how Lan Gui is doing... Those were two Jonin... I wish I hadn't fallen into their trap... I should have been the one handling this..."

One thought after another flashed through Yakushi Nonou's mind.

Losing her usual chakra and falling into a weakened state further amplified the nun's unease.

Fortunately, Nara Rinka returned in time, preventing Yakushi Nonou's worries from continuing to overwhelm her.

"Nonou-nee, I'm back."

"May you win the laurel wreath!"

Yakushi Nonou's tone was filled with undisguised joy.

The bespectacled nun took three steps at a time and quickly walked up to Nara Rinka and hugged him tightly.

"You're finally back!"

Nara Lan Gui, arms outstretched, rested her chin on Yakushi Nonou's slender shoulder, and felt something was inexplicably off.

It seems that the position in Nono-nee's embrace before wasn't this...

"Lan Gui, you seem to have grown taller."

Yakushi Nonou raised her arms and opened Nara Rinka's embrace, her brown-green almond eyes glistening with tears, as if she were both happy and crying.

"Yeah?"

Nara Rinka was about to lower her head when her gaze was immediately blocked by the pristine black and white nun's robes.

"Hmm, it seems like we can see the view from a higher vantage point."

There's a saying that goes something like this.

A woman whose head is bowed so low that her toes are invisible is an absolute beauty.

"What?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Yakushi Nonou's almond-shaped eyes, but she quickly dismissed this small doubt.

"Lan Gui, where are those two Jonin?"

"Those two ninjas from Root have been taken care of."

Nara Rinka gazed directly into the brownish-green eyes behind the thin, round-rimmed black glasses and spoke softly.

"In addition, I also learned something."

"Nonou-nee, you're a Root ninja too, right?"

In the "Book of Formations", the Wind Release: Vacuum Ball and the Wind Release: Vacuum Great Ball are classified as the same ninjutsu.

-

In addition, the Yamanaka clan's sensory ninjutsu has a difficulty level that is set in the second version of this book.
