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

In the middle of the wide and flat official road.

The big-horned deer spread its four hooves, dragged the wooden cart, and slowly rushed towards the direction of Konoha.

On a simple deer cart.

Nara Langui is using [Planning Shadow Technique] to hide the main body in the shadow of [Shadow Clone].

It was mentioned before. (22 chapters)

[The Art of Flat Shadow] is a "very un-Nara" Nara secret.

Even though [Skill of Flattening Shadow] has the word "shadow" in its name, it is not a pure shadow-escaping secret technique.

The key to [Flat Shadow Art] is to make one's body as thin as a shadow and maintain this state.

And the chakra consumed in this step is not Yin escape chakra, but regular chakra.

Before yesterday, Nara Langui's regular chakra amount could not last too long with [Planning Shadow Art].

But after obtaining the A-level ninja [Chakra Crystal].

Nara Langui can use this C-level secret technique for as long as he wants.

While maintaining [The Art of Flat Shadow].

Nara Langui is also silently running the cultivation method of the immortal talent newly obtained from the Temple of Fire-【Immortal Guidance Technique】.

This important secret art related to natural energy, when Nara Langui returned to Kyoto yesterday, he started the study and research immediately, and made a lot of learning progress.

At this moment, with the continuous breathing and exhalation.

Nara Langui only felt that his spiritual consciousness was constantly emptying out, and he began to gradually enter a state of deep meditation.

Time passed minute by minute, at a special moment.

Nara Langui's spiritual consciousness suddenly broke away from the shackles of the body, and entered the [Shadow Clone] close at hand.

At the same time, the main body hidden in the shadows is still maintaining the operation of [Fallen Shadow Technique] and [Fairy Clan Guidance Technique].

‘This is the most ideal cultivation method at present! '

Nara Langui closed her eyes, familiar with the light and ethereal feeling unique to [Shadow Clone].

‘Consciousness is entrusted in [Shadow Clone], and normal communication activities are maintained. '

'The body is lying flat...ah no, it is practicing [Fairy Guidance Technique] around the clock. '

Nara Nangui was very happy with this state.

Body and spirit, one has to be on the way, right?

At this moment, Kaiichi Yamanaka, who was in charge of perception in front of him, suddenly made a gesture.

Seeing this situation, the three Chunin, Sarutobi Asma, Yuhihong, and Feizhu Dragonfly, looked at each other and acted tacitly.

Not long after, with a few screams, the three of them came out of the dense forest beside the official road with blood, and returned to the main force.

Nara Shikano, who was driving the deer cart, glanced at the three Chunin who were panting slightly, and patted the back of the big horned deer lightly.

The big horned deer slowed down knowingly, and the already sluggish movement speed suddenly became like a snail.

But this extremely slow speed also gave Sarutobi and Asuma enough rest time.

In comparison, the number of people on the return journey has been reduced a lot. (Mitekai team is still performing caravan escort missions)

But the speed of the return trip did not increase, but slowed down further.

There is no other reason.

The task of cleaning up the [Bounty Hunter] hasn't made much progress yet!

On the way back.

Kaiichi Yamanaka continued to use his spiritual perception ability to detect the bounty hunters wandering around the official road of the Fire Nation.

And after checking out the target location, it was the moment when Sarutobi Asma's team started to act.

Only half a day passed.

The three Chunin had eliminated countless bounty hunters who were trying to ambush the caravans, and they had gained a lot.

On the deer cart, Nara's mood of holding laurel was as calm as an ancient well.

Chunin and even Genin-level opponents can only trigger C-level battle missions at most.

Nowadays, tasks of this level are no longer considered by Nara Langui.

Unless it is a special target like land.

Otherwise, Nara Langui might as well spend more time learning and mastering the advanced ninjutsu he already possessed!

On the way back, due to the actual conditions, Nara Langui had no way to study [Camouflage Hidden] or [Super Beast False Painting].

But it is still possible to rub some "balls" secretly.

On the premise of knowing the specific cultivation method of "Spiral Pill".

Nara Nangui, who is already good at chakra control, is very gratifying in his studies.

On the deer cart, Nara Languiping put his right hand, palm down and then turned up, the black shadow immediately gathered into a ball the size of a ping-pong ball in his palm.

Inside the "ball" composed of pitch-black shadows, strands of yin chakras are continuously rotating in irregular motion.

'This is just the first phase. '

Nara Langui lightly shook the shadow ball and dispersed it invisible.

‘But it doesn’t take much effort to integrate into [Shadow Piercing Bullet]. '

The virtual panel pops up suddenly.

[B-level technique: Spiral Shadow Penetration]

[Effect of the technique: self-developed technique, advanced shadow secret technique]

[Effect of the technique: Inject your own Yin escape chakra into the shadow, and materialize the shadow into a compact and solid high-speed rotating projectile, which gathers a little bit like a bullet and sprays out. The initial speed of the jet can exceed the speed of sound, and the power is powerful]

[Evaluation of the technique: It's a spiral, I added a spiral]

'The name of the technique has changed, and the specific effect has also become a little stronger...but the essence is still B-level ninjutsu. '

Nara Nokatsuki scanned the information on the panel, and then closed it.

‘I’m afraid we will have to wait until we have thoroughly mastered the ninjutsu of [Spiral Pill] before we can further increase the power of [Shadow Piercing Bullet], right? '

noon.

The Konoha ninja team paused in place to recuperate and prepare lunch.

The deer cart brought Nara Langui and the old patriarch to the shade of a tree.

"Today's weather is really nice."

Nara Shikano untied the big horned deer and signaled it to forage for food on its own.

"What I hate the most is that when I encounter bad weather during the mission, it will consume more energy for nothing.

"Fortunately, I'm going to retire soon..."

"Patriarch."

Nara Langui interrupted the old patriarch's words in a timely manner, and he almost couldn't count how many flags the other party had planted along the way.

"I have a question I want to ask."

"Well, let's talk."

Nara Shikano was half lying in the shade of a tree, with a weed in his mouth that he didn't know where torn off.

"Know everything."

"It's about chakra metal."

Nara Langui raised his right hand and showed the patriarch his chakra crystal ring.

"The patriarch rewarded so much Chakra metal before, and I do have a plan to build Chakra metal ninjas."

An excellent ninja tool that can transmit chakra is self-evident for the improvement of the ninja's strength.

Nara Langui asked: "Among the leaves, are there any powerful blacksmiths?"

"This is indeed a problem. I forgot to explain it before."

Nara Shikano slowly chewed the grass in his mouth, and said slowly.

"Our Nara clan, as well as the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, are not families that specialize in ninja tools.

"If you want to forge ninja tools, you can only entrust others."

Nara Langui nodded and listened quietly.

"Among the leaves, there are two shops that specialize in selling ninja tools."

Nara Kano held out two fingers.

"First, Mandiantang. Although the ninja tools produced in their store are not of good quality, the lower limit will be guaranteed.

"Second, Shenglongtang. They are a store specializing in the sale of weapons and ninja tools.

"If you want to forge weapons, I recommend you to go to Shenglongtang and find the talented boss of Shenglongtang."

Rising Dragon Hall?

What a mighty name!

Nara Langui asked curiously: "Patriarch, do you mean that the 'genius boss' you mean is that he is very good at forging ninja tools?"

"No……"

Nara Shikano shook his head.

"The boss of Rising Dragon Hall, his surname is 'Tian' and his first name is 'Cai'."

"..."

Nara's sense of anticipation was instantly shattered.

But he changed his mind.

Surnamed Tian, ​​could it be one of the future Konoha Twelve Little Powers, Tian Tian's father?

Looking at it this way, it seems that Shenglongtang is also a good choice.

Available at this time.

Nara Langui recalled the cat lady he met in the animal training and recuperation class before, and couldn't help asking again.

"Patriarch, what is the level of ninja tool forging of the Maocun clan?"

"The cat village family?"

Nara Shikano frowned and straightened his back.

"Langui, where did you hear this name?

"That's a family of black market merchants!"

Nara Nangui briefly recounted the process of getting acquainted with Mrs. Cat.

"It turned out to be just an accident...it's not an accident."

Nara Shikano felt relieved.

"The cat village family has always served the rich. What 'Mrs. Cat' are you talking about? She claims to have broken away from the black market merchant family?"

"Squad leader Inuzuka Zuo said so." Nara Rangui nodded.

"Inuzuka, Cat Village..."

Nara Shikano didn't know what to think of, suddenly shook his head and smiled.

"Don't believe that 'Mrs. Cat' who claims to be a 'decent businessman', there is no black market businessman who is not evil.

"However, if we only discuss the forging level of ninja tools, the Maocun family is indeed much better than Shenglongtang.

"The Nekomura Clan is the exclusive weapon supplier of the Uchiha Clan.

"Even the arrogant guys of the Uchiha clan recognize the quality of the ninja tools provided by the Nekomura clan."

understood!

Nara Langui nodded seriously.

When I return to the village this time, I will go to Mrs. Cat to forge ninja tools!

After lunch, Konoha ninjas started their journey again.

After two or three hours.

The deer cart finally moved away from the capital of the Kingdom of Fire and came to a wide and dense forest area.

Just then.

Kaiichi Yamanaka frowned slightly.

He no longer sent gesture signals to Sarutobi Asma and others, but directly came to Nara Shikano's side.

"Master Luye!"

Yamanaka Kaiichi's tone was very serious.

"I just sensed a ninja with a very large amount of chakra, in the dense forest ahead, suspected to be waiting..."

Before Yamanaka Hai could finish his sentence.

A figure walked out of the deep forest.

Bounty hunter, Kakuto!
