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

The mission precedent for Loulan's journey is there.

Even if Nara Shikaku was a little bit aggrieved by the fact that the Yondaime wanted to leave the village again.

But after too much experience, people become numb.

What's more, not even the Third Hokage can stop his fourth generation from going out. What can Nara Shikaku, the "Deputy Deputy Hokage", say?

After taking several deep breaths, Nara Shikaku managed to stabilize his mentality and asked slowly.

"This time, Master Yondaime, who is going to the Fire Temple, who do you plan to bring with you? Is it still the same team configuration as this time?"

This time the team refers to the one headed by Nara Rengui, assisted by Tsunade Hime, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Shisui.

"This time, I decided to go it alone."

Nara Langui waved his hand and said seriously.

"Abbot Zhongjue of the Fire Temple has sent me relevant invitations before, and now I have a reason to go to the Fire Temple."

Nara Langui has now mastered two types of [Sage Mode], one from Mt. Miaomu and the other from Shigu Forest.

[Sage Mode·Miaomu Mountain] mainly absorbs natural energy from the atmosphere and the earth, and the side effects of body alienation are very strong.

[Immortal Mode·Moist Bone Forest] absorbs natural energy from the ocean and atmosphere, and the alienation effect is relatively weak.

Nara Langui's goal has always been clear - to develop a normalized sage model unique to humans based on the sage model data from the three holy places.

The Temple of Fire has a special inheritance of the so-called "talents of the Immortal Clan". The temple also has talents such as [Lai Ying Thousand Hands Kill], [Vajra Fist], [Arhat Fist], [Immortal Breathing Technique], [Immortal Clan Tuna Technique], Clan Guidance Technique] and other special magic techniques.

The "senjutsu" of the Fire Temple does not involve the creation of senjutsu chakra, but simply controls the natural energy of the outside world.

This type of magic, regardless of the strength of one's own strength level, obviously does not have the side effect of alienating the practitioner's body!

Well, shaving your head doesn’t count…

From the point of view of "no obvious side effects", the Immortal Technique inheritance of Fire Temple is still quite valuable.

Nara Langui is looking forward to this trip to the Fire Temple, hoping that Master Zhongjue can bring him some surprises.

"Yondaime-sama, you want to act alone again..."

Nara Shikaku sighed.

The last time Nara took Gui to Loulan, he originally said that he wanted to act alone, but was eventually "persuaded" by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself to change his mind.

Unexpectedly, this time when going to the Fire Temple, Nara Langui still wanted to do a solo operation...

Whatever.

The Temple of Fire is no better than Loulan.

The Fire Temple, located in the heart of the Land of Fire, is not far from Konoha.

Especially since Nara Langui has mastered the "Flying Thunder God Technique", wanting to go from Konoha to the Fire Temple is just a "thought".

Nara Shikaku thought about it and decided not to ask for trouble.

But when he stopped, Nara Langui took the initiative to explain a few words.

"I went to the Fire Temple because I wanted to get more information on the practice of 'immortal arts' from the Fire Temple."

"There are very few ninjas in the village who know about the existence of 'senjutsu'."

"There are only a handful of people who have successfully practiced immortality."

"Bringing a group of people who don't know anything to the Temple of Fire will only create more trouble for me."

After hearing these words, Nara Shikaku's mind started working rapidly.

As far as he knew, the only ninja in the village who had successfully practiced senjutsu was probably Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

As for the other two.

Orochimaru left Konoha some time ago and is missing.

The village has not yet set up any special response measures for this elusive Sannin.

Tsunade-hime... probably doesn't practice celestial arts, right?

Nara Shikaku quickly made some calculations in his mind.

So if the clan leader goes to the Fire Temple and wants to bring someone with him, he can only bring Jiraiya or Namikaze Minato?

Um……

Nara Shikaku subconsciously rejected this idea.

Although everyone is a ninja of Konoha.

But it was obvious that Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato were close to the Third Hokage.

Nara Langui also has his own basic base.

If it is not necessary, Nara Shikaku does not want to give free benefits to another group of people.

Talk about it.

After the head of the family became Hokage, he "shared" the [Wood Release] with the Senju Clan, and the [Boiled Release] with the Akimichi Clan (and the Yamanaka Clan).

I haven’t received any particularly big benefits yet…

Although Nara ninjas basically don’t care about this...

If you have the time to study and practice the Escape Technique Blood Succession Limits, and think about your own shadow secrets, wouldn't it be better to raise deer?

Moreover.

Those Muji Ninjutsu developed by the head of the family are really useful!

Nara Shikaku pulled back his somewhat divergent thoughts.

He didn't say anything more, just bowed to Nara Langui.

"I see."

After finishing speaking, Nara Shikaku planned to turn around and leave to deal with the newly promulgated political tasks assigned to him by the Hokage.

About Hokage-sama’s trip to the Fire Temple…

Nara Shikaku no longer has any thoughts of admonishing.

I just hope that when Hokage goes to the Fire Temple this time, he won't encounter a series of earth-shattering events like the last time he went to Loulan.

A Sunagakure rebel ninja actually managed to create a humanoid puppet of the Third Kazekage!

That's all, I just went out for a casual walk, and I actually brought back a "Future Man", and he was also a "Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki"!

No one else has experienced this...

"Wait a minute, brother Shikaku, there is one more thing."

Nara Langui wanted to wave goodbye to Nara Shikaku, but he suddenly seemed to think of something.

"Has the village recently gone to the Fire Temple, or been on a mission to Kyoto?"

"Um?"

Nara Shikaku stopped, thought for a moment and then responded.

“There are no special missions to the Fire Temple, but there are relatively frequent missions between the village and Kyoto.

"Now that the war is over, there are employment commissions from Kyoto almost every day."

"OK."

Nara Langui took out a special kunai from his ninja bag. The handle of the kunai was branded with the four characters "Shadow Stream Blade".

"Arrange a team to go to Kyoto and send this kunai to the Fire Temple in the name of a C-level mission.

"If this operation doesn't work, then arrange a special team and give them this C-level task.

"Brother Shikaku, please write another letter to Master Zhongjue and tell him that I will visit the Fire Temple in a few days."

C-level tasks are tasks issued due to personal requests and will not involve any combat content.

Nara Shikaku twitched the corner of his mouth and took the [Shadow Blade] handed to him by the Fourth Hokage.

Don’t think he hasn’t seen the yellow flashing [Flying Thunder God Technique]!

The fourth generation of adults has really reached a state of "energy saving"...

Now Nara Shikaku is willing to believe what the Fourth Hokage said before that "it is not a public trip".

How can any travel be like "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh"!
