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

After dealing with the issues related to Ye Cang, a refreshed Nara Langui walked towards the underground research institute.

The plans for the Fifth Generation Kazekage to return home have already taken shape.

But if this plan is to be truly implemented, it will have to wait for a formal agreement to be reached between Konoha and Sunagakure.

Konoha refused to let Ebizo return to Sunagakure, and Hagura couldn't "save" Ebizo.

The specific methods and means for Konoha to release the prisoners will also need to be discussed later in the village.

Just release them, send them back to the Country of Wind, and let Sand Hidden Village take them away...

Trivial matters like these still need to be discussed!

If possible, Nara Langui wished that Ebizo could be released later.

In this way, it can also give Ye Cang more time to exercise and improve.

Although she has gone through the special training and special guidance from Nara Langui, Ye Cang's strength level has surpassed her peak period.

But compared with the real "shadow", Ye Cang still has a long way to go.

Of course, Nara Langui can also ignore the problem of Ye Cang's strength and force her to the position of the Fifth Eye Kazekage.

For example, the Fourth Raikage Troy of Kumogakure Village, that guy's strength level is at best on par with that of Hagura at this stage.

Troy became the fourth generation Raikage.

Can't Hayakura become the Godaime Kazekage?

That's what it says.

But don't forget.

Sunagakure Village is no better than Kumogakure Village.

Kumogakure introduced Troy as the Raikage, partly because the current Kumogakure Village really couldn't find any masters, and on the other hand, it was also because the current Kumogakure Village didn't need to deal with any big troubles.

The big trouble here is not the hostile ninja village, but the tailed beasts!

The shadow of a village needs to have the power to suppress tailed beasts!

Cloud Hidden Village now has both eight tails and two tails, so there is no need to suppress the tailed beasts.

But Sand Hidden Village is different.

In addition to facing problems such as sparse population, harsh environment, and lack of resources, Sunagakure also needs to face the threat from Ichibi Shukaku!

Rasa can become the fourth generation Kazekage. In addition to his own strength, another very important point is that he can suppress the Ichibi Shukaku!

If Hagura wants to become the Fifth Kazekage, not only can she defeat Shukaku head-on, but she must at least be able to fight the rampaging One-Tail Jinchuuriki.

The connection between tailed beasts and jinchūriki is very close.

Once a jinchūriki dies, the tailed beast within him will die with him.

The tailed beasts will certainly feel angry if they are sealed inside the Jinchuriki's body, and they will go berserk because of this.

But he would not ignore the life of the jinchuriki and force him to trade with the jinchuriki.

Nara Langui's lowest expectation for the Godaime Kazekage Hayakura is that she can pass the two blood inheritance limits of [Scorching Release] and [Speed ​​Release], successfully survive the rampage period of Ichibi Shukaku, and then let the opponent's The tailed beast's chakra returns to normal.

Of course, if Ye Cang can become stronger, Nara Langui will also be happy to see it happen.

However, if Ye Cang is too weak, even with two blood inheritance limits, he will not be able to withstand Ichibi's rampage...

‘This possibility is still very low. At least [Swift Escape] can guarantee Ye Cang’s mobility. ’

'Well, after Ye Cang consolidates her current strength, in the next stage, let's find her a training partner...'

‘King Mu still travels again, this is a problem...’

Nara Langui came to the underground research institute with thoughts.

Ye Cang's challenge was purely an unexpected surprise.

Just like the blood inheritance limited secret technique that Nara Langui just opened from Ye Cang's B-level scroll.

[B-level technique: Swift Escape·Deer Cutting Knife]

[Description of the technique: Advanced Ninja Technique developed by Ye Cang without eating or sleeping]

[Effect of the technique: Convert one's own chakra into the nature of [Speed] through the change of nature, and infuse [Speed ​​Escape] chakra into the body and weapons, so that its sword skills can gain an acceleration effect like chasing wind and shadow, and slashing The cutting power is even higher]

[Evaluation of the technique: Alas, I lost a knife, I want to know whose body it is stuck in now]

Apart from the name, [Speed ​​Release·Deer Cutting Sword] is still a good ninjutsu.

The overall effect is similar to Yunyin Village's Yunliu Swordsmanship [Yunliu Slashing Thunder Flash].

It is a nintai jutsu that accelerates killing.

But it's probably because Ye Cang's level of physical skills is too average, or because her exposure to [Speed ​​Escape] was too short.

The difficulty level of this technique is only B level.

It can be regarded as filling up the ninjutsu database for Nara Langui.

Better than nothing...

Nara took Gui to the underground, walked straight to the place where he had placed the [Death Mask] before, picked up the pale and ferocious mask, and held it in the palm of his hand.

Today’s big harvest has to be this S-class ninja tool—[Death Mask]!

"Except for the ninja tool of the Sage of Six Paths [Amber Purifying Bottle] and the [Divine Tree Branch] which is only appearance and has no essence, I have never seen any item with a quality higher than S-level."

"Others, such as [Fire Ball Fan], [Mangekyo Sharingan]... all have S-level evaluations."

"The limit of a mortal is S-level... There's no problem with that."

In addition to this mask, there are more than two digits of masks left in Uzumaki Shrine.

Nara Langui didn't know why there were so many [Death Masks] in the Uzumaki Shrine.

If it is said that the Uzumaki clan cut off the inheritance of [Sealing the Ghosts], so there are so many masks left behind, then it would make sense.

But the problem is that Konoha has clearly inherited the legacy of the Uzumaki clan, and even Hokages like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato all know the secret technique of [Ghoul Sealing].

In this case, Konoha should not be unaware of the existence of the [Death Mask].

But there are so many [Death Masks] piled up in the Uzumaki Shrine like useless debris.

Just, it's quite puzzling.

"Or perhaps, among the inheritance Konoha received, there is only [Sealing the Ghouls] but not the [Death Mask]?"

"And the connection between [Death Mask] and [Ghouls Seal] was discovered by Orochimaru later?"

"It doesn't look like it either..."

Nara Langui played with the pale mask in his hand, shook his head, and threw the irrelevant questions out of his mind.

He didn't know the specific reason why Konoha or the Uzumaki clan abandoned so many S-class ninja tools.

But since the Uzumaki clan left so many masks, he could just let go and conduct experiments.

"It's best to be able to figure out the forging method of [Death Mask]."

Nara Langui called out the panel and reviewed the ninja effects of [Death Mask] again.

"The chakra capacity of this [Death Mask] itself has reached the S+ level. This is far better than the chakra capacity of Mr. Kakuto's [Nature Mask Forging Method]."

"If I can figure out how to forge the [Death Mask], I can also create a higher-level [Mask of Nature] that can hold more chakra."

"Of course, the most important thing is the connection between [Death Mask], [Ghoul Seal] and Death..."

Nara Langui looked at a corner of the underground research institute.

Some tools have been kept for too long, and it’s time to let them work.
