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

Chapter 97 Konoha Jonin and Sunagakure Prisoners!

"Was the original plan to go to the Hidden Mist War Zone?"

Nara Rinka stroked his chin, temporarily halting his testing of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Let me think, what major events did the Hidden Mist Zone cause during the Third Shinobi World War? Hmm..."

The plan was to send the Three-Tails to Konoha to self-destruct, but the "Raging Child" turned the tables and used wood to destroy most of the Anbu, completely ruining the self-destruction plan and causing the Three-Tails to die as well...

They plotted to send the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to Konoha for revenge, but then this famous Jonin group was nearly crippled by a "green-skinned genin," with only three unlucky guys managing to escape...

In the three wars, aside from providing some laughs, Kirigakure seems to have no other positive achievements.

As for what happened after the third war...

The Blood Mist has been rekindled, the Ninja Swords have betrayed their masters, and even the mighty Mizukage has become a plaything of Kenji Uchiha, manipulated by him for over a decade without anyone noticing...

Let's go back to World War III.

Have to admit.

At least in the early and middle stages of World War III, the Mist-covered War Zone was relatively peaceful.

Aside from the occasional rogue ninja attacking from across the sea.

Nara Rinka had never heard of any large-scale conflict or battle between Kirigakure and Konoha.

"Ideally, the plan to go to Kirigakure will remain unchanged, but if it does... then I can only hope that my teammates, no, my subordinates, can step up their game."

Nara Ranke abandoned his pointless hesitation and continued his research on the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After some testing.

Nara Rinka roughly summarized the advantages and disadvantages of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Its advantage can be summed up in one word: fast!

Unparalleled speed!

However, it has a lot of drawbacks.

First, the consumption of chakra is far greater than imagined;

Secondly, its application scope is far less than imagined;

The most serious problem is that after using the Flying Thunder God Technique, there will be a slight "casting delay"...

"My [Speed] attribute, to be precise, is that my reflexes are not fast enough."

Panting, Nara Rinka finished the experiment and was reflecting on the testing process.

"After using the Flying Thunder God Technique to get close to the target, you will not be able to attack immediately and will instead be in a brief period of stagnation."

"Although this delay is fleeting, it is enough for a Jonin-level enemy to barely react and then dodge in an instant."

Nara Rinka looked at the shadow clone in front of him; it was with the other party's assistance that the test experiment of the Flying Thunder God Technique was completed.

"It seems that, for the time being, I am not yet able to skillfully apply the Flying Thunder God Technique in actual combat."

Even though the Flying Thunder God Technique has many drawbacks.

However, Nara Rinkaku had no intention of giving up.

No matter how you put it...

That's the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Whether something is strong or not can be attributed to version issues.

Whether someone is handsome or not, that's a matter for a lifetime!

Moreover, Nara Rinkazuki did have ways to improve the Flying Thunder God Technique.

For example, he can create special ninja tools like the "Flying Thunder God Kunai" and reduce the consumption of the Flying Thunder God Technique on himself by injecting chakra into the technique in advance.

For example, he could develop and improve the Flying Thunder God Technique based on Tobirama Senju's version, creating a version that consumes less resources, much like the "Sword of Love" that always carries a girl.

"Speaking of which, Yongdai is really strong."

Nara Langui came to her senses.

"His strength is indeed based on the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"But Minato Namikaze has never been just someone who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Unparalleled reflexes, highly efficient and precise combat intelligence, and research talent far exceeding that of ordinary people..."

"These combined abilities and qualities are the yellow light that turned the tide of World War III!"

Nara Rinka quietly added the plan to research and improve the Flying Thunder God Technique to his schedule.

Even though Flying Thunder God has many drawbacks, it is basically unusable in even or disadvantageous situations.

However, if it's just used as an emergency escape method, the Flying Thunder God Technique is still a perfect score.

Its effectiveness is at least better than the [Reverse Spirit Communication Technique].

The time-space travel effect caused by the Reverse Spirit Spell is only temporary.

Once the chakra needed to maintain the Reverse Summoning Technique is exhausted, the ninja will return to their original position.

God knows whether the enemy had already left or was still standing there "guarding the corpse" at that time?

The Flying Thunder God Technique is different.

If we compare the "reverse psychic technique" to "resurrection on the spot".

So, the Flying Thunder God Technique is "instant return to town".

The two have vastly different tactical values.

While researching the Flying Thunder God Technique, Nara Rinkei did not forget the existence of the Yin Seal.

However, creating the Yin Seal requires a continuous infusion of chakra, which is a considerable burden for him.

Nara Rinka plans to wait until tomorrow to confirm the strength of his subordinates before considering the use of the [Yin Seal].

The mark effect of the Flying Thunder God Technique is permanent.

At least until the appearance of "Six Paths Level Immortals", its mark effect is permanent.

Nara Rinka carefully put away the two kunai that still bore the mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique, intending to find a secret place to put them away, just like setting a "return point".

……

Place the Flying Thunder God Kunai properly.

After another short rest.

Nara Rinka arrived at a secluded building within Kikyo Castle, based on the coordinates provided by the old clan chief.

"Why doesn't the clan chief lock Ye Cang up in jail?"

Looking at the building in front of him, Nara Rinka felt that the old clan chief seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Is there a way to house the enemy in a small villa?"

Nara Rinkasa suddenly felt a strange sensation of "keeping a mistress in a golden house".

Shake your head, banishing this unreliable idea from your mind.

Nara Rinka entered the building and immediately noticed Yokura's presence.

When elements such as "ropes", "blindfolds", "bandages", and "anklets" are all present on a female ninja.

Any male ninja with normal sexual orientation would find it hard to ignore her presence.

In a quiet atmosphere.

Nara Rinka's footsteps caught Yokura's attention.

She no longer wriggled around like a worm, trying to use "rope-breaking techniques" to free herself from her constraints.

Instead, she pretended to be a harmless doll, posing without moving.

Stop pretending.

A familiar voice rang in Yekura's ears, bringing back her memories.

"I've never seen this kind of binding posture before, but you don't have chakra right now, so you can't even use the most basic rope-breaking techniques. There's no way you can break free from these ropes."

"It's you!"

Ye Cang spoke coldly, recognizing the other party's identity through their voice.

But before she could utter a single harsh word...

The dark black eye mask covering her eyes was removed, and bright light instantly flooded her eyes.

Ye Cang subconsciously closed his eyes, but then suddenly realized what was happening and quickly opened his eyelids, staring at the newcomer.

Don't look at me like that.

Nara Ranka casually tossed away his blindfold, pulled up a stool, and sat down in front of Yokura.

"This is war, and you launched the attack first."

The Konoha Jonin looked down at the Sunagakure prisoners from their elevated position.

"You're only alive now because I need you."

"Stop dreaming! You Konoha brat!"

Yekura still glared angrily at Nara Rinka, displaying an expression of unyielding defiance.

"I will never betray the village!"

"What I need is not your loyalty or your soul."

Nara leaned forward, staring directly into Yekura's cat-like orange eyes, his tone utterly cold.

"Don't you still have a body?"

Yekura's pupils instantly contracted to the size of a pinprick.

After a brief moment of gathering his strength, the fierce Sand Village prisoner slammed his head forward, intending to kill the shameless Konoha bastard in front of him.

However, the lack of chakra caused Yekura to lose her agility and speed.

To Nara Rinka, her attack movements appeared to be in slow motion.

It was just a simple tactical fadeaway.

Nara Rinkachi thus avoided Yokura's sneak attack.

The latter's head continued forward due to the body's inertia.

The smooth, mirror-like floor drew ever closer and magnified in Yekura's pupils.

Just as she was about to hit the floor, feeling the approach of death, Yekura finally couldn't help but close her eyes.

At this critical moment.

Boom!

A shadowy hand, almost tangible, emerged from beneath Nara Rinka, lifted Yokura's forehead, and straightened her submissive posture.

"Ha ha--"

Ye Cang's dry, bloodless, pale lips suddenly opened, and she gasped for air, trying to alleviate the fear in her heart.

A fine layer of cold sweat seeped from her smooth back and slid down her fair skin.

"See, at least for now, I'll still choose to save your life."

Nara Rinka gazed at Yokura.

"So, Ms. Yecang, considering this life-saving favor, doesn't this create a slightly stronger basis for cooperation between us?"

"You..."

Yecang felt as if he were on a suspension bridge, his heart racing and his blood pressure rising involuntarily.

"asshole!"

"So, Ms. Yecang, you are willing to cooperate with me."

Nara issued an ultimatum to the shogun.

"Or do you want to be forced to accept my research?"

"Or... should I hand you over to the village?"

"I think you must have heard of the 'Darkness of Ninja'?"

Shimura Danzo's nickname was "The Darkness of Shimura".

Even Yotsuki, who was far away in Sunagakure, had heard of this nickname.

The most despicable, shameless, treacherous, and cunning villainous ninja in Konoha!

Nara Rankei felt no qualms about threatening the enemy with the title of "King of the Black Pot".

"Miss Yekura."

Nara Rinkazu's lips curled into a threatening smile.

"You don't want to fall into Danzo Shimura's hands and be brainwashed into becoming Konoha's ninja weapon, do you?"

"I……"

Yecang sadly realized that she seemed to have no choice at all.

If she could still refine chakra, she could at least commit suicide.

However, given the current situation...

It seems she couldn't even choose how she died.

Yekura raised her head and stared straight at Nara Rinka.

This pretty boy is at least better than the infamous "Ninja Darkness"...

"I……"

Ye Cang closed his eyes, his heart filled with despair, and murmured softly.

"I will never betray the village..."

"I've said it before, I don't need your loyalty."

Nara Rinka's words penetrated Yokura's ears and into her heart.

"I only need your body."

"Well... let's do it..."

"good!"

Nara embraced the cassia tree, clapped his hands, and chuckled softly.

"Explain in detail how you fused the 'Burning' chakra nature!"

"Um?"

Ye Cang suddenly opened his eyes.

"this one?"

In the manga, Might Guy defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but his specific achievements are unknown.

In the original anime episodes, Might Guy killed four people and kicked three others away.

This chapter's account of Might Guy's battle record is based on the anime's settings.

-

Regarding the "Three-Tails Incident" and the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Incident," the chronological order is unclear in the original work, so I'm just reminding you of that.

-

Regarding the "rope-breaking technique" mentioned in this chapter.

According to the records in the Book of Linzhi.

Rank E, which is the difficulty level of ninjutsu at the Ninja Academy, includes:

The ability to create clones.

Transformation technique.

Substitute technique.

Rope removal technique.

The art of concealing oneself with a straw raincoat.

In addition to these, there are also "Thousand-Year Kill" and "Seduction Technique".
