Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

"..."

Kakashi was unable to refute it.

Chiba...

Hopefully, that kid will tone it down. It's fine to learn from others, but don't retaliate directly in their face, otherwise they might really be overwhelmed.

Chapter 93 Kakashi, why are you cosplaying as Ebisu?

"Hey? Kakashi, your glasses... are pretty good. Where did you get them?"

Might Guy was whispering with Tenzo when he turned around and was almost startled by what he saw—

Good guy!

Kakashi, who previously wore his headband askew, now wore sunglasses, making him look somewhat like…

"you?"

Matt Kai looked at the mask, then at the hair, and said hesitantly, "If you take off the mask and change your hair, you might look more like Ebisu."

"??"

Kakashi tilted his head, looking confused. "What does my wearing glasses have to do with Ebisu?"

I need to impersonate him!

He was speechless for a while.

These glasses weren't meant to imitate Ebisu's appearance, but rather to suppress his Sharingan, preventing it from automatically acquiring large amounts of information and thus consuming a lot of chakra.

He gave himself a thumbs up.

"These glasses were designed and made by Tenten and Chiba."

Tian Tian keenly sensed something was amiss.

This is causing quite a stir.

That direction is...

Moonlight and Sasa muttered a complaint under their breath.

"The clothes are a bit strange."

In the scene, Chiba and his group have entered the arena and are running in one direction.

cat ear?

Now that you mention it, she does vaguely remember it.

Chiba waved his hand. He wasn't a puppeteer, so there was no need for him to apologize. He was just explaining to them to prevent them from making a fool of themselves in front of outsiders.

Chiba told them their goal as he ran.

The two women quickly apologized.

He explained it again.

The desert was desolate, with only some ruins vaguely visible.

If we run into them later, we can modify these words and use them as sarcastic or provocative language; I think that would be very effective.

The oil lady's family will be overjoyed!

After communicating with the natural energy, Chiba intended to withdraw it, but then he discovered...

Chiba wasn't too surprised.

"Yeah, and they even added two ears to that outfit and hat. I don't know what they were thinking, trying to disguise themselves as cats?"

Fancy clothes?

Even Chiba was stunned for a second before realizing that she was referring to Kankuro.

He amplified his senses and communicated with the insects along the way, already knowing the identity of the tracking team ahead.

of course.

One lens, two uses.

He already knew that there were these giant ants beneath the Demon Desert, and one of the purposes of his trip was to bring some of these ants back with him.

Chiba couldn't help but refute the rumor.

perfect!

"Chiba, something seems off... these insects..."

Kakashi ignored their expressions, instead forming hand seals, then his expression hardened—

"The team includes the black-robed puppeteer."

Matt Kai coughed lightly, looking rather embarrassed.

At the same time, lenses can also be used as a medium for telescopes.

Kakashi glanced around and noticed that Tenzo also had a strange expression on his face.

Chiba continuously emits natural energy to communicate with insects, using them to capture its targets.

Soon, the sand dunes began to stir—

Tian Tian was stunned for a moment.

Creatures were lured here.

"Chiba-kun, which squad are we going to chase?"

“That’s a cat-ear cloak, the traditional clothing of the puppeteers of Sunagakure.”

"That one in the weird clothes?"

His natural energy was devoured.

"This place is called the Desert of Demons, so it's normal to see some strange things here."

Ok?

A thought struck him, and he extracted some of his Sage Chakra and fed it to them.

Three "sand dunes" quickly surrounded them.

A moment later.

call out!

With a bang, three pairs of ant antennae emerged from the desert, followed by the giant ant's head and body appearing one by one.

It kept touching Chiba's feet with its tentacles.

Chiba Ryoun.

"You mean, they went this way?"

The antennae start moving again.

"How about this, you lead the way for us, and I'll give you a reward."

The three pairs of antennae moved wildly, like a dog's tail.

Chiba nodded in satisfaction.

I'm not afraid of you having ideas, I'm afraid of you not having any ideas.

Tenten and Kazusa, standing to the side, were completely stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

what happened?

Chiba understands everything ants say?

That's too "learned"!

At that moment, Chiba sat on the back of an ant and waved.

"boarding."

"us?"

"Yeah, come up, or they might run away if we wait any longer."

Chiba said quickly.

Tenten and Kazusa overcame their fear and slowly approached the giant ants. After discovering that they indeed meant no harm...

They breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chiba smiled.

Such a huge ant is unprecedented, and it's normal to be afraid, but as long as you dare to overcome the difficulties, it's fine.

I'm afraid they'll refuse to come up no matter what.

Once Tenten and Kazusa are settled in their seats.

"If there is an underground passage, you can lead us there."

Chiba's entrustment.

The ants' antennae twitched, indicating that they understood.

Before long, three figures were seen running wildly across the desert, carried by ants.

In front of them, a swarm of ants moved swiftly, removing some broken rocks and clearing an underground passage.

Watching this scene through binoculars...

Kakashi's expression was comparable to an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway.

Could it be that this giant ant colony wasn't planted here by the oil lady's family beforehand?!

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. Chiba and the others are truly worthy of being my disciples."
