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

Chapter 70 The Sister with Glasses' Reply!

Relying on his roots buried deep in the darkness, Shimura Danzo possessed formidable intelligence-gathering abilities.

Sometimes, he could find out things that even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know.

For example, he obtained the information about the "disappearance of the Third Kazekage" before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo Shimura obtained the news of the "Sunagakure Village's deployment of troops" today through the Root's intelligence network.

Danzo Shimura's original plan was to take advantage of the chaos in the early stages of the war, have two Jonin, Hayashi Yamanaka and Shin Shimura, forcibly kidnap Nara Rin, and then brainwash him at the Root base.

But to everyone's surprise, the surprise attack plan, which they thought was a sure thing, actually failed.

Is it that the legendary spy, Yakushi Nonou, is too seasoned, or does Nara Rankei have other, unknown trump cards?

Danzo Shimura glanced lightly at the corpse on the floor of the room, his gaze focusing on the pool of blood on the corpse's chest.

"This wound looks like it was pierced by a Wind Release: Vacuum Ball... Is it a ninjutsu reflection ability?"

Danzo Shimura was preoccupied with pondering the reasons for his plan's failure.

The explosive information he had just released unsurprisingly caused a huge uproar in the Hokage's office.

Most of the Konoha ninjas were well aware of the impending war and had long been mentally prepared.

But when they actually heard the news that "Sunagakure had dispatched troops."

The people in the Hokage's office couldn't help but feel a jolt of unease.

During wartime, we stand united against external threats.

Even if Ino-Shika-Cho were dissatisfied.

Under the banner of "external wars," they could only suppress their displeasure and thoughts.

Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoto, who were in charge of village affairs, stayed in the Hokage's office.

Meanwhile, "unrelated people" such as Nara Kano, Akimichi Torifu, Nara Rinka, and Yakushi Nonou were politely "sent" out the door.

"Yakushi Nonou".

Danzo Shimura's cold voice came from behind, seemingly well-intentioned but actually full of malice as he warned.

"I heard you've been working hard to make money lately. I suggest you hire a bodyguard to protect your money. Institutions like orphanages are very easy to rob."

"In addition, you should also be careful to prevent your children from being kidnapped by people with bad intentions."

Yakushi Nonou suddenly turned around and looked at her former boss in disbelief.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out beside her.

"Yes, children are the most vulnerable during wartime."

Nara ran away without looking back.

"No matter which ninja clan it is, whether it's Nara or Shimura, without a heir to carry on the family line, they will quickly perish!"

Shimura Danzo's gaze suddenly shifted to Nara Rinka's retreating figure, and his killing intent instantly intensified.

He never expected that the other party would have the courage and audacity to threaten him in return...

[A-rank ninja battle mission detected!]

[Rank A Mission: The Dark Side of Ninja]

[Mission Objective: Defeat/Kill Shimura Danzo]

[Mission Reward: Rank A Ninja Scroll]

"Hmm? A quest has been triggered?"

Nara Ranka paused, turned around, and met Shimura Danzo's undisguised murderous gaze.

"What, Elder Shimura, do you disagree with me?"

Nara Rinka smiled brightly.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease; its light will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout."

"This is the Will of Fire!"

Danzo Shimura scoffed. "For the sake of the village, some bad leaves need to be removed in advance!"

"Then those rotten roots should be cut off as soon as possible!" Nara Rinkasa retorted, not giving an inch.

"May you win the laurel wreath!"

Nara Kano raised his hand and pressed down on Nara Rinka's shoulder, while glancing indifferently at Shimura Danzo.

"Elder Shimura, these are just childish jokes; there's no need to take them to heart."

"But please remember one thing: we Nara people hate trouble."

"But that's precisely why we're so good at solving problems."

……

Outside the Hokage Building.

"I'm so sorry, Lan Gui."

Nara Kano, clutching his goat beard, looked utterly dejected, his earlier calm and domineering demeanor completely gone.

"Your family failed to uphold your honor."

"The sudden outbreak of war was something no one could have predicted."

Nara Rankei shook his head and looked at Yakushi Nonou beside him.

"However, clan leader, Nono-nee was previously both an ANBU member and a Jonin in the medical emergency team."

"Could we take this opportunity to remove her from her position in the Dark Guard?"

"Although it sounds a bit troublesome."

The old clan chief readily agreed to Nara Rangsuke's request.

"But I'll have Shikaku help me handle it later."

Nara Rinka quickly expressed his gratitude to the old clan chief, and the medicine man Nono U beside him also sang along.

Seeing this, the old clan chief glanced at Nara Rangsuke with amusement, shook his head, and left with a smile.

Although Yakushi Nonou was overjoyed at the prospect of breaking free from Root's control, she still noticed Nara Kano's mischievous expression, and a blush involuntarily crept onto her fair and smooth oval face.

"Let's go, Nono-nee."

Nara Rinka generously took Yakushi Nonou's left hand.

"We'll go to Konoha Hospital first to remove the remaining chakra-suppressing drugs from your body."

Already feeling a bit guilty, Yakushi Nono felt the warmth emanating from that palm, and the blush on her delicate cheeks deepened.

The bespectacled nun gently pulled her left hand away, but before the other party could exert any force, she gave up the idea and reassured herself.

"They've been holding on too tightly to the laurel..."

Nara Rankei and Yakushi Nonou chatted and laughed all the way to Konoha Hospital.

When Yakushi Nonou sought help from a medical ninja to resolve her physical problems and heal her injured right arm.

Nara Rinka took the opportunity to summon the virtual panel.

Just as he was about to leave the mission objective area, he chose the A-rank mission to quickly pass through Shimura Danzo and received a B-rank [Ninja Scroll].

"I wonder what's in Shimura Danzo's 'Ninja Scrolls'..."

Nara Rakusatsu quickly started rolling.

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Curse Seal: Seal for Eradicating the Root of Tongue Calamity]

[Technique Description: By cutting off the outflow of words, the spread of calamity can be stopped.]

[Surgery Effect: Simply uttering anything related to a specific matter will cause complete paralysis and immobility.]

[Skill Evaluation: All evil will be punished by law!]

"Hmm? This cursed seal technique?"

Nara raised an eyebrow.

"It seems like every Root ninja has this planted on them... well, not on Nonou-nee's little tongue."

The Seal of Severing the Root of Tongue Calamity is a special incantation seal with unique effects.

However, Nara Rinka doesn't need to use this kind of secret seal technique to conceal information at the moment.

What interests him most is the targeted approach of the [Seal of the Eradication of Tongue] to the special existence of "language".

"If I remember correctly, among the Sage of Six Paths' ninja tools, there were also special tools specifically designed to counter verbal attacks..."

Nara, busy with his osmanthus-viewing, had no time to consider things too deeply.

Yakushi Nonou had finished her treatment and walked out slowly.

"Nonou-nee, how are you?"

"The doctor has used a micro-extraction technique to help extract all the drug molecules."

Yakushi Nonou gently moved her right arm a few times.

"My right arm has almost recovered, and I just need to take care of it myself afterward."

"That's great!"

Nara Rinka tried to hold Yakushi Nonou's hand again, but this time the other woman cleverly dodged it.

Yakushi Nonou tapped Nara Rinka a few times from a distance, then turned and walked out of the hospital.

We arrived outside the hospital.

Nara Rinka tried to hold Yakushi Nonou's hand again, and this time the other party did not dodge.

The two returned to Kikyo Castle hand in hand.

It wasn't until they were almost at Kikyo's orphanage that Yakushi Nonou withdrew her hand.

"Lan Gui, go back to your room first and wait for me for a while."

Nara nods like a chick pecking at rice, and when she returns to her small room, she makes sure to wash herself thoroughly.

Not long after.

Yakushi Nonou entered the room carrying a huge black scroll.

Nara Rinkazu lay half-reclined on the bed, patting the empty space beside her.

"To the laurel tree..."

Yakushi Nonou was both amused and exasperated, but she still approached with the scroll.

"I have something serious to tell you."

After finishing his sentence, Yakushi Nonou handed the black scroll in his hand to Nara Rinkei, and said with heartfelt sincerity.

"Lan Gui, I am truly grateful for everything you have done these past few days, but apart from this self-developed ninjutsu scroll, I have nothing else to repay you with."

The Nara Cassia scroll is laid flat, and on the clean white paper is imprinted a very familiar, delicate handwriting.

"This is……"

"Super Beast Fake Painting"

Yakushi Nonou explained.

"Medical ninjutsu was taught in the village; only it truly belongs to me."

"Nonou-nee, you're amazing!"

Nara Rinka gave two thumbs up, praising him from the bottom of his heart.

If the "Super Beast Imitation Painting" gifted by the big fat sheep was a "ninjutsu" that only knew how to use, then...

The [Super Beast Imitation Drawing] that Yakushi Nonou gave her at this time contained detailed development ideas and the "principles" of how ninjutsu worked.

With the help of this super detailed version of the [Super Beast Imitation Painting], Nara Rinka can quickly transform it into a Yin Release ninjutsu.

That will be the time to complete the second S-rank family mission and acquire the second S-rank spell!

A relaxed smile appeared on Yakushi Nonou's smooth face.

"But there's one thing I need to remind you of."

Nara Rinka threw down the scroll and opened his arms.

"When someone gives you a thumbs up, they might not genuinely want to praise you; they might just want to have sex with you."

The bespectacled nun blinked rapidly.

Nara reached out to greet the osmanthus tree and caught a petal in her mouth.

"Pop!"

It will be available tomorrow.

The creation of [Super Beast Pseudo-Painting] by Yakushi Nonou is a secondary setting in this book.

There was foreshadowing beforehand; see Chapter 17 for details.
