Nara Langui was slightly startled when he saw the included content prompt that was refreshed on the panel.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time that the [Ninja Secret Scroll] offered non-magical rewards.
Nara Langui originally thought that the "Secret Scroll of Ninja" was just a "Secret Scroll of Ninjutsu" and could not open anything else...
After browsing through the item effects of [Natural Mask Forging Method], Nara Langui's heart suddenly surged with passion.
‘What [Mask of Nature], isn’t this the ‘Ninja Mask of the Black Shadow Corps’?!’
When he obtained the B-level secret technique [Super Beast Pseudo Painting], Nara Langui once imagined the "Black Shadow Corps" commanded by him. (Chapter 18)
But what he never expected was...
Before transforming "Ink Beast" into "Shadow Beast".
The "Ninja Mask" that can command the "Black Shadow Corps" was released from the "Ninja Secret Scroll" one step ahead.
Of course, the ideal "ninja mask" is that each mask corresponds to the leader of each shadow corps, each commanding a shadow corps with different functions and responsibilities.
The [Mask of Nature], which currently only exists in the content of the scroll, can only be regarded as the prototype of the Black Shadow Corps at best.
Nara Langui browsed the scroll content of [Natural Mask Forging Method] attentively.
According to the content description of [Nature Mask Forging Method].
The forged [Property Mask], regardless of specification and level, can only store chakra of a single nature.
In addition, [Nature Mask] cannot replenish chakra energy on its own.
It can only be supplemented through human input, and the chakras added before and after must maintain consistent attributes.
At the end of [Property Mask Forging Method], the best material selection for forging [Property Mask] is mentioned.
'The first choice is the ninja heart, especially the heart that has just refined and stored a large amount of attribute chakra that has changed in nature.'
Nara Langui frowned slightly and subconsciously ruled out this option.
He is not a cold-blooded and cold-blooded Kakuzu, and he is still very repulsive to the cruel behavior of "taking out one's heart for one's own use".
'Secondly, there are biological tissues such as bones, blood, hair, nails...'
'Otherwise, it is the wood of a special tree that relies on absorbing chakra to obtain nutrients...'
[Nature Mask Forging Method] The content recorded in the scroll made Nara Langui frown.
He seemed to have no choice but to look for the last material——
'Wait a minute! Another material was mentioned at the end.'
Nara Langui looked at the line of small words recorded at the end of the scroll.
'It has been calculated that chakra crystals may be the best material for forging [nature masks]... It is too difficult to obtain, the value of the items is too expensive, and I cannot afford to buy or use them. It is better to just dig out people's hearts and discard them.'
'Well, Mr. Kakuzu is quite real...'
Nara Langui's fingertips pressed on the cold [Chakra Crystal] ring.
He does possess an A-grade quality [Chakra Crystal].
But using this [Chakra Crystal] to forge [Mask of Nature]...
Nara is not willing to accept Gui.
In his eyes, the value of [Mask of Nature] is not as valuable as [Chakra Crystal]!
The latter can recharge automatically after all!
'Maybe I can find a middle ground.'
The idea of taking Gui in Nara is very lively.
'First make a [Mask of Nature], leaving a gap that can accommodate [Chakra Crystal], then embed the [Chakra Crystal] in it, and use its energy... Could this be the stone of some ultimate creature?
Ghost face?!'
Although he was complaining about himself, Nara Langui still felt that this method was very feasible.
But the safest way is to purchase chakra crystals from the outside world...
'But [Chakra Crystals] are really expensive! Even Mr. Kakuzu can't afford it, let alone me!'
For a moment, Nara Langui felt helpless.
His family's family assets are quite wealthy.
According to the introduction of the clan leader, one [Chakra Crystal] can buy at least three mountains!
Nara Langui could not afford to buy a few precious treasures of this level even if he broke his fortune.
What's more, if there was no other choice, Nara Langui would never be willing to inherit the family property.
In comparison, he still prefers to make money and spend it himself.
This kind of money can be taken with peace of mind and used with peace of mind.
For example, let’s take the research guarantee fund of one million taels per month that was “earned” from the clan leader.
Even if you spend all your Nara laurels in one go, you won't have any psychological burden.
'Sure enough, the plan to make money still needs to be put on the agenda. It's time to discuss the plan to make money with Sister Noonoyu...'
'But for now, one piece of [Chakra Crystal] is enough to squander.'
‘Instead of thinking about a higher quality [Nature Mask], it’s better to think about how to use the ability resources on hand to create a suitable [Nature Mask]…’
Nara Langui silently thought about his many abilities.
The four attributes of water, earth, wind and fire are balanced, and combined with the secret technique of Yin escape passed down from the family, at least five masks of "Yin", "Water", "Earth", "Wind" and "Fire" can be created...
Later, I can also find an opportunity to test my medical ninjutsu talent, and maybe add a mask with "Yang" attribute...
In addition, fusing chakra with two different attributes seems to be a novel way to make masks...
Just when Nara Langui was thinking about different [nature masks].
The Pig Deer Die team finally arrived here and met everyone.
When he saw that several chunin, especially Nara Langui, were not injured at all, the old patriarch let out a long sigh of relief.
Tell the truth.
The old clan leader was worried just now that Kakuzu had given up on the three of them openly, but secretly he chose to attack several other weak young ninjas in Konoha.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm...
Nara Rangui and others were also paying attention to the situation of the Ino Shika Butterfly team at this time.
Yamanaka Haiichi and Nara Kano are fine.
Akimichi Choza, who is responsible for the critical task, does not look too embarrassed at this time.
However, the few people present did not know medical ninjutsu and could not heal Akimichi Tingzao's injuries. They could only provide some clean bandages to the best of their ability.
Just as Akimichi Choza was bandaging his injuries.
Nara Kano lightly bit his index finger, formed a hand seal, pressed it to the ground, and gave a soft drink.
"Psychic art!"
As a burst of smoke rose, a tall white ape wearing a ninja uniform and a Konoha forehead protector appeared in everyone's sight.
"Ape demon?"
Sarutobi Asuma was stunned and immediately recognized the identity of this white ape.
Isn’t this the old man’s psychic beast?
How come the old patriarch of the Nara clan can also channel others?
"Luye?"
The ape demon obviously knew the old patriarch, so he was not surprised by the other party's psychic summons, but was just a little curious.
"Why did you suddenly summon me today? Is there something urgent?"
"When we completed the mission and returned to the village, we encountered a powerful bounty hunter."
Nara Kano briefly described today's events.
"I think this information needs to be passed back to the village as soon as possible.
"At the same time, the village also needs to send a certain amount of force to join us."
"Can a powerful bounty hunter rival the Sannin in strength? I know!"
The ape demon nodded, formed a seal and disappeared in place.
"I will notify Hiruzen as soon as possible!"
After the monkey demon disappeared, Nara Kano was visibly relieved. He was half leaning on the deer cart and kept calming his breathing.
A young man with very poor eyesight asked at this time.
"Nara Jonin, how did you summon the monkey demon? Isn't that the old man's psychic beast?"
Nara Shikano sighed slightly, looked at Sarutobi Asuma who took the initiative to talk, and still managed to gather some energy to explain.
"I am the squad leader of the Jonin class. Because of my position, I often need to communicate directly with the Hokage-sama.
"Relying on the Hokage-sama's psychic beast to relay messages is the most efficient method of communication."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded confusedly.
He is not interested in politics or anything like that at all.
Even the son of the Hokage didn't know what the "Jounin Class Leader" did.
With just one glance, Kano Nara knew that the "son of the Hokage" didn't understand what he meant at all, but he was too lazy to explain too much at the moment.
The old patriarch was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, but suddenly he felt the presence of another line of sight and opened his eyes to take a look.
"What? Lan Gui, are you very interested in psychic techniques?"
"Definitely interested!"
Nara Langui nodded.
He had wondered about one thing at first, why the [Psychic Technique] was prescribed from the clan leader's [Secret Ninja Scroll].
It turns out it was due to job reasons...
But this does not prevent Nara Langui from maintaining a high degree of curiosity and exploration towards [Psychic Art].
It can be said that this is a time and space ninjutsu!
"Well, speaking of psychic beasts...sorry, wait."
Nara Kano stretched out his hands and covered the ears of the big horned deer.
"Some words may hurt the deer's self-esteem."
Nara Langui nodded, not thinking there was anything strange about this.
But Sarutobi Asuma and others next to them looked at the deer couple strangely.
Deer crazy, right?
"Psychic art is not a difficult ninjutsu, and it is not difficult to learn it. The difficult part is to find a suitable psychic beast."
Nara Shikano didn't mind people listening to this kind of knowledge, and explained it openly.
"The deer of the Nara clan are not ninja beasts and do not have chakra in their bodies.
"If you want to learn the art of psychic communication, Lan Gui, there are two directions in Konoha Village for you to try.
"The ninja dog of the Inuzuka clan, the crow of the Yamashiro clan.
"Of course, I am not referring to the Inuzuka clan, but the ninja dogs and crows raised by the ninjas of the Yamashiro clan.
"But these two families specially provided it to the village——"
Nara Kano’s story is not finished yet.
A cloud of smoke instantly enveloped him, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
Counter-spiritual art!
Let’s talk about the [Psychic Beast] mentioned in this chapter.
In the comics, there are many psychic beasts, the most famous of which is probably the toad from Mt. Myouki.
There are also two other sacred places, Longdi Cave and Snake and Slug in Shigu Forest.
However, in comics, psychic beasts [wearing ninja forehead protectors] are very rare.
Unfortunately, Hatake Kakashi’s Eight Ninja Dog is the [Ninja Dog Wearing a Konoha Forehead Protector].
In addition, Metkai's turtle is also a "turtle wearing a Konoha forehead protector".
There is another example.
It is Sarutobi Hiruzen's psychic beast, the monkey demon. The monkey demon also wears a Konoha forehead protector.
In comparison... Danzo Shimura's dream tapir... doesn't have a forehead protector... um...
The reason for mentioning the above-mentioned special cases.
I just want to explain that in Konoha Village, there are special psychic beasts that specifically serve Konoha and enjoy the ninja establishment!
——
The crows of the Yamashiro clan are just the author's second guess based on the comics.
"The Book of Masters" commented that Yamashiro Aoba could control a flock of crows, but it did not say that it was a mediumship.
Ashin is set as "the mountain city clan can channel crows".
——
In addition, there is another example that supports the statement that "Ninja Village has specialized psychic beasts".
In [Manga, single volume, volume 54, chapter 512], Motoi of Yunyin Village channeled an owl.
According to the "Book of Formations", the owl named "Owl Gate" is mainly responsible for transmitting information to Kumogakure Village.
Therefore, there are indeed psychic beasts specifically serving the Ninja Village.
