I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

"A brand new S-level technique [Shadow Manipulation]!?"

Looking at the operation information on the panel, Nara Nangui's eyes brightened instantly.

"Sure enough, it's exactly what I expected!

"The S-level [Ninja Secret Scroll] obtained from the family's S-level mission can comprehensively create a brand-new S-level esoteric ninjutsu based on one's own abilities!"

Nara Nakinai focused on the effect of [Shadow Manipulation].

Effect 1 of [Shadow Manipulation] is basically in the same line as [Shadow Clone] and [Shadow Transformation].

It's just that the effect of the first two S-level [Shadow Secret Technique] is to act on the clone and the creature, while the effect of [Shadow Manipulation] is to act on the [Shadow Thread].

"Compared to [Shadow Clone] and [Shadow Transformation], which cannot be directly used to attack, [Shadow Manipulation] can barely be regarded as an offensive esoteric ninjutsu."

Nara Langui touched his chin, lost in thought.

"Considering the operation method of [Shadow Silk Thread] and the effect of virtual reality conversion, this may be an 'unsolvable' S-level offensive ninjutsu.

"As long as you dare to take it hard, you will rush to the street on the spot!"

The first effect of [Shadow Manipulation] has already satisfied Nara Nangui.

The effect 2 of [Shadow Manipulation] is basically in the same line as [Shadow Body Manipulation], there is nothing particularly worth paying attention to.

What Nangui Nara is really concerned about is the third effect of [Shadow Manipulation]!

"The control range of this [Shadow Manipulation Technique] is not only the opponent's body, but also his chakra, ninjutsu and even the blood succession limit?!"

Nara Langui's eyes suddenly burst into light.

He considered the function of this S-rank ninjutsu almost immediately——

"Ye Cang, I'm coming!"

...

Just when Nara took Guigui to the horse and went to find Ye Cang of Burning Dun to study the new experiment of blood succession limit.

The clan land of the Nara clan.

The old patriarch has gathered most of the family elders and held a brand new family meeting.

Spacious and bright Japanese-style conference room.

The old patriarch sat at the top, and the old pineapple heads sat on both sides, with bored and troublesome expressions on their faces.

"Really, the patriarch has already retired, but he still wants to call us here."

"I'm going to feed the deer! It's really troublesome to call me over all of a sudden."

"Patriarch, can you send a shadow deer to take me home later? You know, my legs and feet are not very fast."

"Me too!"

There was a loud taunting sound in the meeting room.

Almost every elder of the Nara clan expressed dissatisfaction with this sudden meeting.

"This is the new A-level ninjutsu that Naruto-sama just sent to our family."

Nara Shikano manipulated the Jutsu of Gathering Shadows, held up a ninjutsu scroll on the side, and displayed it to the surroundings.

"Last time it was [Dark Walking Jutsu], this time it's [Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu], you all should have heard of the names of these two super advanced ninjutsu?"

"Of course I've heard of it."

An elder of the Nara clan sitting in the middle on the left spoke.

"Compared to the [Dark Walking Art] which is not useful, this time [Shuriken Shadow Clone Art] is more sincere.

"However, the one at the root is attacking our Nara clan again?"

"No, this is the real reward given to our family by the third Hokage in the last incident."

Nara Shikano manipulated the shadow tentacles and put down the scroll of [Shuriken Shadow Clone Art].

"That [Dark Walking Art], someone should have secretly exchanged it..."

"Patriarch, here are all our own people, there is no need to play riddles."

An elder at the front right said lazily.

"Just say it's Shimura Danzo! He's the only one in the village who has the ability and the courage to do this.

"I really don't understand why the Third Hokage deliberately condoned the existence of such a 'Ninja Darkness'.

"Even though his talent is inferior to that of the second-generation adults, he still cannot bear the slightest darkness."

Seeing that the elder's words were about to disrupt the discussion atmosphere in the conference room.

"Ahem!"

Nara Kano coughed heavily twice.

"This [Shuriken Shadow Clone Art] is not the focus of discussion in the Clan Council!

"Just now Langui sent me another copy—no, three ninjutsu scrolls."

Nara embraces laurel.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

The name of this super genius just came out of Nara Shikano's mouth.

The meeting room, which was noisy just a second ago, was suddenly so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"The child of Zhou Zhu's family..."

An elder swallowed quietly.

"What amazing ninjutsu have you researched?"

[Lacquer eyes], [Shadow beast fake painting], the impact these two secret arts brought to the elders of the Nara clan is unimaginable.

Indeed.

The Nara family is smart, lazy, troublesome, and not proactive.

But this doesn't mean that the ninjas of the Nara clan don't want the clan to prosper!

Take the research talent shown by Nangui Nara.

Every elder of the family present here can see that the future prosperity of the Nara clan for a hundred years is basically pinned on this super genius!

without any exaggeration.

Back then, Senju Bashirama and Uchiha Madara, when the two brothers were still at the age of Nangui in Nara, their strength and talent were not as outrageous as the latter!

The elders of the Nara clan did not expect that Nara Nangui could grow to the level of the first generation of Hokage.

But Konoha's "Secondaime Mizukage", the legendary "Super Forbidden Art Master"...

Is it possible to have a little extravagance?

No matter what.

The little beard in Wuyin Village next door, and the second generation of Mizukage who led the ghost lamp clan to become famous in the ninja world, can at least look forward to it?

"It is indeed a very remarkable three ninjutsu."

Nara Shikano sent excerpts of the materials prepared in advance to every elder present.

"Considering confidentiality, I didn't take out all the ninjutsu, but just took out the one with the lowest difficulty.

"C-level secret technique, shadow imitation technique."

"Thankfully, it's no longer A-level or B-level ninjutsu."

An elder couldn't help joking, and quickly devoted himself to reading the brief information in his hand.

"That super genius has finally considered the hardships of mortals like us..."

After a while.

The elders in the Hefeng meeting room have basically read through the general effect of [Shadow Imitation Technique].

"Very powerful ninjutsu."

"This can be regarded as a perfect upgrade in the [Shadow Binding Technique], it is indeed a laurels!"

"But... why do I feel as if I heard it somewhere?"

"Didn't that kid Zhou Zhu say that he wanted to study ninjutsu with this effect?"

"After so many years of research, I still haven't figured it out. It was his son who researched it."

"I really want to have a good son who can take over my class quickly..."

Seeing that the discussion is about to go awry again.

Nara Kano could only cough twice again to bring the topic back on track.

"Langui's research is not only a C-level ninjutsu, but also a B-level or even A-level ninjutsu."

The old patriarch said succinctly.

"The family really deserves no reward for him.

"I said before that let him be the elder of the family—"

Before Nara Shikano could finish his words, he was interrupted by the eager discussion of the family elders.

"no problem!"

"I agree with both hands and horns!"

"Patriarch, um, Xiao Langui has become an elder, can I step back?"

"You fart!"

"It should be me who should retreat!"

Closing his eyes, Nara Shikano took a deep breath, and the shadow under his feet immediately turned into an eagle flapping its wings.

Standing beside the old patriarch, the Shadow Eagle kept vibrating its wings, creating a gust of wind in the conference room.

These warnings finally calmed down the Nara elders who were planning to retire lazily.

"Listen to me first."

Nara Shikano said lightly.

"The position of elder seems to be enough for Langui.

"However, in the history of the Nara clan, there has never been an elder who has made such great contributions to the clan one after another.

"My plan is to let Langui become the patriarch directly!"

"...Don't let us retire, so I want to retire by myself—oh, wait!"

An elder scratched his head.

"Lu Ye, are you so kind to let your son retire so quickly?"

"I talked to Lan Gui about this issue before."

Nara Shikano ignored the confession of his good friend who had known him for many years.

"Lan Gui said that he only wanted to enjoy the rights, not the obligations.

"But what he doesn't know is that his dedication has surpassed the previous patriarchs of the Nara clan!"

"In that case, it is true."

Another elder spoke.

"If the clansmen are allowed to contribute to the family blindly, mistakes will easily occur.

"But if this clansman is the patriarch... Leading the family to prosperity is the biggest task of the patriarch!"

"That's what I'm thinking about."

Nara Shikano nodded slightly.

"Langui doesn't want to deal with those trivial matters, so he doesn't need to deal with them.

"What's more, for a genius like him, it's a shameful waste to tie him to these daily trivialities."

"Makes sense."

"I agree."

"I only hope that Langui can bring Wuwei from Yanyin Village back to the family before I die."

"Ditto!"

"...Ditto!"

The old patriarch agreed with some difficulty, and then said seriously.

"If the elders have no objections, then I will bring this matter up to him again when there is any ninjutsu innovation in Langui next time.

"At that time, our Nara clan will usher in the youngest patriarch in history!"

"Lu Ye, what should Lu Jiu do?"

An elder couldn't help but ask.

"He is the current patriarch of the family."

"Since Lu Jiu is the patriarch, he should have the stamina and foresight of the patriarch."

Nara Shikano looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

"Langui enjoys the rights of the patriarch, and Lu Jiu assumes the duties of the patriarch.

"This is a win-win situation for our family!"

Third update.

Sorry for the lateness.

There is a fourth change.

after twelve o'clock.
