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

Chapter 93 S-Rank Ninja Scroll Reward!

The next morning.

The early bird catches the worm.

Tsunade, her body aching all over, held a smooth mirror and frowned as she looked at her reflection.

Meanwhile.

The disheveled, haggard, and disheveled person in the mirror also made the same expression as Tsunade.

"I've been ruined by alcohol and women, and I've become so haggard..."

Tsunade raised her foot and stomped heavily on an empty wine bottle next to her, crushing it to pieces.

"Starting today, I will abstain from alcohol!"

"What?"

Nara Rinka was startled awake by the crisp, unusual sound. With deep dark circles under his eyes, he instinctively looked at Tsunade.

"You're finally sober..."

Nothing happened last night.

However, the few remaining memories in her mind almost made Tsunade so embarrassed that she used her toes to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room house on the spot.

As if struck by the [Disorderly Body Surge], Tsunade tried to force a smile, but could only manage an ugly crying face.

"Nara, are you alright?"

"If you mean being choked, forced to drink alcohol, attacked with a hug, punched... and still surviving until morning without suffering any real harm."

Nara Rinka said in a low, melancholy tone.

"Then I'm definitely alright."

But as Nara Rinkazu scolded her, Tsunade was practically burying her head in her chest.

"If this is really how you are when you're drunk..."

Nara Rinka said sincerely.

"Then, I beg you, please try to drink at home as much as possible from now on, okay?"

"I didn't expect to get so drunk last night... Besides, who told you to come over at that time..."

Tsunade muttered to herself, but when Nara Rinkazu's cold, piercing gaze fell upon her, she quickly put on a smiling face.

"Um, Nara, would you like me to take a look at your body...?"

She swallowed the rest of her sentence halfway through.

"Very good, it seems you still remember exactly how many times you said this last night."

Nara Rinka quickly tidied his clothes and bowed to Tsunade.

"I'll take my leave now."

Leave the Institute of Drug Research.

Nara Rinkachi breathed in the fresh air around him almost greedily.

He was truly fed up with being surrounded by the strong smell of alcohol and the aroma of fatty lamb while being smoked and roasted all night!

"A born scumbag, a thousand-armed fat sheep!"

Nara Ranka patted his cheeks and returned to his home in the clan's territory as quickly as possible.

"You'd better get something good from the [Ninja Scroll] later!"

Burn incense and take a bath to wash away bad luck.

The newly revamped Nara Rinka summoned a panel to check his own [Ninja Scroll] reserves.

Having experienced the sudden attack last night.

Nara obtained a total of four [Ninja Scrolls] in the process of acquiring the sage.

One of them was an S-rank scroll provided by the S-rank mission "Battle to Defend Kikyo City".

The other three are all Grade B secret scrolls.

One speedrun reward from Chiyo, and two defeat rewards from defeating Ebizo and Yokura.

Nara Rinkazu was the first to look at the S-rank [Ninja Scroll] that seemed to be shining with dazzling golden light.

"No... Just to be on the safe side, let's use a low-level scroll to prepare for the attack first."

After assessing the strength of the three Sand Village ninjas, Nara Rinkei first took out Ebizo's B-rank [Ninja Scroll].

"The wind-style ninjutsu Ebizo used were quite effective, but... I still hope he doesn't use any more wind-style ninjutsu!"

Since it was just meant to be used as a stepping stone, Nara Rinka didn't hesitate to open Ebizo's secret scroll without a second thought.

[Opening...]

[This Ninja Scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Summoning Technique: Lightning Sword Transformation]

[Spell Description: The various sealed weapons have appeared here at the master's request.]

【Spell Effect: The ninja tool is sealed in the summoning talisman in advance. When necessary, the corresponding ninja tool can be summoned in a flash by touching the summoning talisman.

Ninja tools are not limited by size or shape and can be hidden within summoning talismans indefinitely.

[Spell Evaluation: Adhering to the rules, enjoying the duel]

"Huh? This is interesting!"

Nara Rinka's eyes lit up, and he quickly began to examine the effects of the [Lightning Sword Transformation] technique.

"It really wasn't a wind-style technique, but a summoning jutsu..."

Nara Rinka has possessed the [Summoning Technique] and [Reverse Summoning Technique] for quite some time now.

Unfortunately, I have not yet found a suitable psychic partner.

Neither the crows of the Yamashiro clan nor the ninja dogs of the Inuzuka clan were within his consideration.

but.

Nara Rinka, based on the information about [Summoning Techniques] in the Rokumeikan, successfully contracted the multiple [Nature Masks] he created, allowing him to summon them for battle anytime, anywhere.

"A Rank B Summoning Technique: Lightning Sword Transformation... This summoning technique is quite interesting!"

Nara Rinka knows a great deal about the abilities of advanced ninjutsu in the ninja world.

For example, he had previously successfully researched and developed the A-rank, no-seal ninjutsu based on the development data of the Rasengan, and even integrated it almost perfectly into his own combat system.

However, the [Lightning Sword Transformation] technique was so obscure and uncommon that Nara Rinkei was also learning of its existence for the first time.

"This method of sealing ninja tools, carrying them around, and using them as needed is actually a bit like playing cards..."

Nara Rinka instantly devised a strategy for using the [Lightning Sword Transformation] technique.

"Looks like all those [Senature Masks] I made before won't be gathering dust in the warehouse anymore!"

The quality of Ebizo's scroll reward exceeded Nara Rangsei's expectations.

Riding on this wave of good luck, Nara Rinka couldn't wait to start working on the next B-rank scroll from Yekura.

[Opening...]

[This Ninja Scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Bloodline Limit Technique: Scorching Release - Overheating Kill]

[Technique Description: A kekkei genkai ability of the escape technique type, the scorching and terrifying high temperature evaporates the enemy into a dried corpse]

[Technique Effect: Transforms one's own chakra into the "Burning" nature through nature transformation, releasing a scorching chakra ball to attack the enemy, simultaneously drawing moisture from the enemy's body.]

[Surgery Evaluation: Vanished Without a Trace]

"It's not entirely unexpected, but they actually used a Scorching Release ninjutsu."

Nara Rinka gazed at the messages on the panel, closed his eyes, and began to review the scroll of records in his mind.

"Just as I expected, it's the same as the [Sky Blade] from back then!"

A moment later, Nara Rinka opened her eyes, looking somewhat disappointed.

He had obtained the scroll of the technique [Scorching Escape: Over-Steam Kill], but he was unable to use or release it.

Just like when I obtained the [Sky Blade].

Nara Rinka was unable to successfully unleash the Scorching Release ninjutsu without understanding its nature transformation.

"The good news is, not only do I possess the scroll of [Scorching Release: Over-Steam Kill], I also have Yekura as a prisoner!"

Nara Rinkaku regained his spirits.

According to his understanding, the Scorching Release is a bloodline limit formed through the dual nature changes of "wind" and "fire".

This does not mean that "Scorching Release" uses both wind and fire chakra simultaneously.

Rather, it refers to a completely new and unique property change called "scorching".

In essence.

"Scorching Release" is not considered a very powerful bloodline limit.

What Nara Rangsuke valued was not the water evaporation effect of "Scorching Escape".

What he cares about is the technique of combining the properties of "wind" and "fire" involved in "Scorching Release"!

If Nara Rinkachi successfully researches the fundamental workings of "Scorching Escape".

He might very well be able to build upon this foundation and discover new properties of "wind and water," "wind and earth," "water and earth," and so on.

Even surpassing bloodline limits is the Bloodline Elimination!

The rewards from unlocking Yekura's [Ninja Scroll] were mediocre.

Nara Rinkachi decided to continue exploring Chiyo's B-rank secret scroll.

[Opening...]

[This B-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[Rank B Spell: Mechanical Shield Seal]

[Technique Description: Radiant, high-density chakra! Transformed into the strongest shield!]

[Technique Effect: Unfolds one's chakra radially, forming a chakra membrane with extremely high density, sufficient to withstand most physical attacks.]

[Spell Evaluation: Strongest Physical Defense – Self-proclaimed]

The moment Nara Rinka saw the [Machine Light Shield Seal], her eyes lit up.

"Isn't that the shield ninjutsu that Granny Chiyo used to block two [Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon] shots later on?"

Nara Ranke compared the [Shadow Shield Technique] and [Machine Light Shield Seal], both of which belong to the B rank.

Although I really don't want to admit it.

However, it must be said that the defensive effect of [Machine Light Shield Seal] is much stronger than that of [Shadow Shield Technique]!

"The use of this [Mechanical Shield Seal] requires a special 'support,' such as Chiyo's puppet and her modified arm."

Nara Rinka stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"However, I have a better tool than this 'puppet scaffold'... [Chakra Crystal]!"

Even Nara Rinka's own chakra level is currently inferior to the chakra contained in the [Chakra Crystal].

The "chakra membrane" created using "chakra crystallization" is definitely more durable than the "mechanical shield seal" released by Nara Rinkei using his own chakra.

Moreover, the acquisition of the [Machine Light Shield Seal] reignited Nara Rinka's research inspiration.

He was extremely envious of Chiyo's amazing defensive capabilities.

If the defensive power of the [Mechanical Shield Seal] were integrated into the [Shadow Secret Technique]—more precisely, the [Shadow Transformation Technique]...

At that time, "Shadow Susanoo" will also receive an epic-level defensive boost!

"So beautiful! So beautiful!"

Nara Rinka felt his luck was about to explode, and rubbed his hands together to open the last S-rank [Ninja Scroll].

[Opening...]

[This S-rank ninja scroll includes: Techniques]

[S-Rank Technique: Yin Seal/Yin Seal Release]

[Technique Description: Creates a container using Yin Release to seal endless chakra]

[Technique Effect: Using Yin-type chakra, a special sealing space that exists between existence and non-existence is created within the body. The sealing space can hold a maximum of S+ level chakra energy.]

The sealing technique formed by the [Yin Seal] can be unsealed and opened using the [Yin Seal Release] technique.

[Surgery Evaluation: More, I can handle more!]

To avoid any misunderstanding, a few more words would like to be added regarding the [Yin Seal] that appears in this chapter.

Tsunade's "ultimate immortal healer" combat system is roughly composed of these ninjutsu.

The Book of Fighting mentions [Yin Seal Release] and [Ninjutsu Creation and Regeneration].

The "Ninja Art: Creation and Rebirth - Hundred Healings Technique" mentioned in the "Book of Formations".

The general order is as follows—

Tsunade first used the [Hundred Healings Technique] to form the [Hundred Healings Seal].

Then, through the [Yin Seal Release], a sufficient amount of chakra is extracted from the [Hundred Healings Seal].

Finally, the chakra provided by the [Seal of the Hundred Healings] supplies [Creation and Regeneration], enhancing its restorative power.

Notice! Notice!

The [Yin Seal] is not directly involved in this process.

On the contrary, it is the "Hundred Healings Seal" formed by the "Hundred Healings Technique" that provides chakra for the "Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth".

The manga and official guidebooks all mention "Yin Seal Release".

Based on my personal understanding.

Similar to [Five Elements Seal/Five Elements Unsealing] and [Corpse Demon Seal/Corpse Demon Seal Unsealing].

【Yin Seal】 and 【Yin Seal Release】 are two different techniques.

-

Finally, there is the second design phase.

The author has a second interpretation: the [Yin Seal] involves changes in the nature of Yin.

According to the contents of the "Book of Formations", Tsunade does not possess the [Yin] attribute;

According to the illustrations in the manga, Mito Uzumaki also has a diamond-shaped mark between her eyebrows.

In my opinion, Tsunade's sealing techniques were inherited from the Uzumaki clan.

The conclusion is:

Tsunade cannot use the [Yin Seal].

He could only develop the Hundred Healings Technique based on the Yin Seal data, and then research the Ninja Art Creation Rebirth Hundred Healings Technique using his own medical ninjutsu.
