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

Chapter 71 [S-Rank Technique: Shadow Transformation Technique]!

[During Sage Time... your [Wisdom] attribute will be enhanced!]

[Wisdom +7]

Regarding methods for ninjas to improve their strength, the recently released "Make-Out Paradise, Volume 1" on Konoha's Elite Hall contains the following description:

Ninjas can concentrate their chakra in a short period of time and then release it all at once. By mobilizing all their chakra and then releasing it, they can improve their chakra manipulation skills.

At the same time, after releasing all their chakra, the ninja enters a state of selfless meditation, a state of "refinement to the limit," making it easier to understand the true meaning of life, the energy of nature, and the truth of the world...

Although Nara Rinka has not yet had the chance to read the famous masterpiece "Icha Icha Paradise".

However, having just been "released" once, he did indeed enter a kind of sage mode that could only be understood intuitively and not explained in words.

"What exactly caused Jiraiya, whose previous book was 'The Tale of the Rooted Ninja,' to suddenly find himself in 'The Tale of the Root Ninja'?"

"Well... I don't even know where the end of the universe is, how would I know this?"

Beside her, Yakushi Nono's face was flushed with a rosy glow, her beauty radiant.

Everything that had just happened was too sudden; her mind was a complete mess, and she was unable to think clearly at all.

Yakushi Nonou felt as if she had returned to the ninja academy, where, during her first ninja combat training, Teacher Nara personally taught her combat techniques, the rules of one-on-one duels, and how to hold and pierce kunai...

"Lan Gui, how come you're so skilled?"

"Um?"

Nara Rinka turned her head to the side, reached out her fingers, and straightened the thin black-rimmed glasses on Yakushi Nonou's nose, while also brushing away a strand of damp blonde hair stuck to her sweaty forehead.

"Nonou-nee, the night is still long."

[Wisdom +7] x6

The next morning.

Nara Rinkasa looked radiant and unusually got up early to do exercises.

He practiced the "Arhat Fist" technique, which he had learned from the Fire Temple, with great skill and power.

[You have learned a C-rank physical technique, [Arhat Fist], which has enhanced your [Physical Skill] attribute!]

[Physical Skills: E-→C-]

"That's quite a leap forward!"

Nara Ranka glanced at the panel attributes.

However, with the significant increases in the [Strength] and [Speed] attributes, it's understandable that [Physical Skills] would receive such an exaggerated boost.

Since successfully figuring out how to improve both [strength] and [speed]...

Nara Rinkachi has been trying to slack off all along.

To this day, his [Strength] and [Speed] attributes have both crossed the C-level threshold and reached the C-level.

Nara Ranka's current personal attributes are:

Ninjutsu: A-

Physical skills: C-

Strength: C-

Speed: C-

Precision: C

Wise and wise: A-

Compared to when he first obtained the [Lazybones System], Nara Ranke's personal attributes have undergone a complete transformation.

"You haven't succeeded in slacking off yet; lazybones still need to work hard!"

Nara Rinka closed the control panel, went to the orphanage's kitchen, brought out two breakfasts, and delivered them to her room.

inside the room.

Yakushi Nonou lay there in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, seemingly thinking about many things, yet also seemingly thinking about nothing at all.

Nara Rinka stepped forward with a tray to help the nun wash up and eat.

I'm too lazy to get up and draw my eyebrows; I'm late with my makeup and dressing.

The most skilled hunters often appear as prey.

The enchanting scene of a beautiful woman washing and grooming made Nara Ranka's mouth water.

Snapped!

Yakushi Nonou gently slapped away the impolite little hand, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Lan Gui, let me test you."

The bespectacled nun straightened her beautiful face, revealing a cold and aloof demeanor that was completely different from her usual gentle image.

"What are the three forbidden ninja rules?"

"Don't worry, Nono-nee."

Nara Rinka said with a grin.

"I am mortal with gambling and drugs!"

"What utter nonsense..."

Yakushi Nonou pursed her full, rosy lips and gently pressed her slender, pale fingers against Nara Rinka's forehead.

"The three prohibitions of ninjas are: no alcohol, no extravagance, and no lust."

"You're still young, don't be so unrestrained."

"Am I still a child?"

Yakushi Nonou recalled the magnificent antlers of the stag from last night, deliberately averted her gaze, and whispered with a blush on her face.

"How would I know about this...?"

"Don't worry, Nono-nee."

Nara Rinka grasped Yakushi Nonou's hands.

"I know what to do."

Last night, Yakushi Nonou sent out a more detailed version of the [Super Beast Imitation Painting], and Nara Rankei knew exactly what she should do now.

"Nonou-nee, how did you create the secret technique of [Super Beast Imitation Drawing]?"

Nara Rinka asked with some curiosity.

"Its functionality is truly outstanding!!"

"Why do you talk as if you're very familiar with this secret technique?"

Seeing that the topic was back on track, Yakushi Nonou breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone gradually returned to normal.

"Don't you know? I used to be a member of Root, and I carried out many missions for Root..."

"Some secret missions involve extremely difficult information transmission, and that's why I came up with the idea of ​​developing Super Beast Imitation Art."

At this point, Pharmacist Nono gently scratched the pad of her index finger with her thumbnail, and a trickle of blood seeped from her fair skin, condensing into a drop of blood.

Yakushi Nono poured Yang Release chakra into the blood bead.

Almost instantly, the blood bead was manipulated by her will and transformed into a crystal-clear, lifelike blood-red scorpion.

"This is Chao... um? Lan Gui, what do you want to do?"

Nara Rinka grabbed Yakushi Nonou's index finger and said in a serious tone.

"Sucking blood."

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Nara Rinka lived in the Kikyo Orphanage, oblivious to the outside world.

During the day, he practiced ninjutsu.

At night, he skillfully pounded the medicine.

The carefree days passed by in a flash.

With the assistance of numerous Shadow Clones and the original creator, Yakushi Nonou, Nara Rinkei finally deduced its Yin Release version based on the operating principles of the Super Beast Imitation Painting.

This refers to the [Super Beast Imitation Painting] – no, it's the [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting] – that can be cast using "shadows"!

Immediately after successfully researching the [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting], Nara Ranke shared it with Yakushi Nonou.

"I don't have much talent in Yin Release's nature transformation."

Yakushi Nonou declined the offer to create the "Shadow Beast Imitation Painting".

"Not to mention that this [Shadow Beast Forgery Painting] also involves your Nara clan—"

"We are the Nara clan!"

Nara interrupted the other party, emphasizing.

"Nonou-nee, no matter what, [Super Beast Imitation Drawing] is a technique you created. You deserve to have a copy of this derivative ninjutsu, otherwise I would be too embarrassed to use it."

Despite Nara Rinka's repeated persuasion, Yakushi Nonou finally accepted the Yin Release secret technique.

"Also, there's something else I'd like to ask for your opinion on, Nono-nee."

Nara Lan Gui points to [the fake painting of the shadow beast].

"Would you mind if I shared this Yin Escape technique with my family?"

"I've already given you the scroll containing the technique for the [Super Beast Imitation Painting]. You can do whatever you want with it."

At this point, Yakushi Nonou smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I was originally planning to ask Lan Gui for your opinion as well."

"With Chief Shikaku's help, I have withdrawn from Root. These past two days I've been thinking about how to repay Chief Shikaku and Chief Shikano for their help, and then I saw this Yin Release version of the [Super Beast Imitation Painting]..."

Nara Rinkasa put aside his worries and said with a smile.

"Actually, Nono-nee, perhaps in the eyes of the two clan leaders, the greatest help you can give to the Nara clan is the addition of a male member to their family—"

"go!"

Yakushi Nonou spat and, blushing, kicked Nara Ranka out of the Kikyo Orphanage.

Sunagakure has already dispatched troops, and Kikyo Castle is now shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

When Nara Rinka returned to his clan's territory, he did not see the new clan chief, but only the retired old clan chief, who was drinking tea and playing chess.

"Hey, Lan Gui, long time no see."

Nara Kano waved to his junior with a smile.

"How about a thrilling game of shogi?"

Nara Rinka glanced at the chessboard, shook his head, and took out the [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting] scroll that he had prepared in advance from his ninja tool bag.

"Chieftain, do you remember what I mentioned before?"

The scene before me felt strangely familiar.

The smile on Nara Kano's aged face stiffened slightly.

Even though he seemed to have retired, he couldn't escape this trouble...

"This is the advanced secret technique you mentioned before?"

"It's not the technique I discussed with the clan leader and the new clan leader before."

Nara Lan Gui shook his head.

"It was the technique I discussed with the clan leader on the way back from the Temple of Fire."

that……

Nara Kano's mind raced slightly as he recalled the scene, and he couldn't help but feel his throat bobbing.

"That advanced ninjutsu you mentioned before... similar to the Dark Eye?"

"Yes."

Nara Rinka's gaze shifted to his own shadow. He infused a certain amount of Yin Release chakra into the shadow, and the originally smooth shadow surface suddenly bulged out into a bulge.

Under the watchful gaze of the old clan chief, a plump and strong black deer emerged from the shadow of Nara Rangsei, carrying the latter as it slowly and leisurely walked forward.

This "shadow deer" is actually based on the giant antlers raised by the Nara family!

"What is this?"

Nara Kano's pupils contracted instantly, his voice filled with unconcealed shock.

"A shadow beast that roams freely?!"

With his extensive experience, Nara Kano instantly grasped the key point of this ninjutsu and eagerly asked, "Lan Gui, is this simply a deer-shaped shadow beast? Or... does it have more than one form?"

"Of course, it's the latter."

With a slight thought, Nara Rinka's shadow, the Great Deer, instantly transformed into a majestic black eagle, poised to take flight.

"At least in my opinion, the overall value of this technique is no less than that of the [Lacquer Eye]."

Nara Rinka handed over the scroll of secret techniques.

The old clan chief took the scroll and began to read it.

After a long while.

The old patriarch raised his head, his voice low and somber, "The value of this secret technique scroll is indeed comparable to [Lacquer Eye]..."

Nara Ranka's eyes lit up. "So this is also an S-rank mission, right?"

"Um."

Nara Kano nodded solemnly.

"Let's call this S-rank clan quest... [Shadow Shikigami]!"

The panel information was being displayed rapidly.

[S-rank ninja quest detected]

[S-Rank Mission: Shadow Shikigami]

[Mission Objective: Develop a unique Shadow Beast Technique for the Nara Clan]

[Mission Reward: One S-Rank Ninja Scroll]

"As expected, a new S-rank family mission has been triggered!"

Nara looked excited as he picked up the cassia tree.

The panel notifications are not limited to this.

[You have submitted the B-grade spell scroll "Shadow Beast Imitation Painting" to the client!]

[S-Rank Mission: Shadow Shikigami - Completed!]

You have obtained an S-rank [Ninja Scroll]!

Just like the previous scroll revealing the [Lacquer Eye] technique, this S-rank family mission was completed instantly!

Nara Rinka looked at the old clan chief, only to see him holding the scroll of the [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting] technique, with a look of utter disbelief on his face.

"Is the clan leader... considering the tactical strategy and value of the [Shadow Beast Imitation Painting]?"

Seeing that the old clan chief hadn't recovered yet, Nara Rinka decisively activated the newly-made S-rank [Ninja Scroll].

[Opening...]

[This S-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[S-Rank Technique: Shadow Transformation]

[Technique Description: An ultimate-level transformation ninjutsu created based on [Shadow Secret Technique], [Transformation Technique], and [Super Beast Imitation Drawing]. It requires no hand seals and can be activated instantly with a thought.]

【Technique Effect: 1. Using one's own Yin Release chakra, create a 【Shadow Creature】 that can switch between "shadow" and "physical entity". The physical strength of the 【Shadow Creature】 depends on the amount of Yin Release chakra invested and the technique's structure;

3. [Shadow Creature] Resonates with the Yin Release chakra of the main body, and can serve as a temporary vessel for the main body's spiritual consciousness.

[Spell Evaluation: Shadow Gundam stands tall on the earth!]

This is the first time everyone has experienced a delay in the product launch.

This is also Ashin's first time experiencing this...

However, although……

I apologize again.

There will be three updates today, two at noon, and one at 6 pm.
