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

"Yep."

Chiba made circles and dots in his notebook.

It's not a good place to study puppetry, so he's sketching out a multi-functional puppet, figuring out how to incorporate some combat features.

"What to draw?"

Tianzang is deep in thought.

He understands the logic, but you really have no self-awareness; you have no idea how infuriating your own talent is.

This sounds familiar.

"Oh? You need me?"

"Tell me, it's about to start, time waits for no one."

In short, it has great potential and doesn't have to compete on the same track as Sunagakure. Sooner or later, it will be able to overtake Sunagakure.

Tianzang was in high spirits.

Upon closer reflection, he remembered.

well.

If chakra batteries can be created in the future, then it will be a trinity of ninjas combining reconnaissance, chakra transmission, and combat support.

These types of "puppets" can be designed in a variety of styles.

Tianzang felt like he had heard that name somewhere before.

"The ninja tool sketches are complete. If they are successful, they might become a new system for our Konoha in the future."

He sat on the steps and said, "Senior Tenzo, you don't need to feel pressured. You are an excellent ninja and more than qualified to be a captain."

The third generation mentioned it to him several times.

not only that.

Yeah, still talking nonsense.

"Furthermore, we really need a partner like you!"

"is it?"

He closed his notebook, sighed softly, and said, "Is something wrong?"

"It's not puppetry, but a support-oriented ninja technique, but it also has its own ability to save its own life and inflict damage."

Forget it.

Chiba continued.

Chiba squatted down on his heels, looking at him with a strange expression: "The other friend you mentioned, could it be yourself?"

For example, the Oil Woman family can take advantage of their ability to parasitize harmful insects and design a puppet specifically for them.

“I have a friend whose students are so outstanding that it puts a lot of pressure on them. Now, the higher-ups are asking another friend of mine to take over his job. Do you think my other friend should go?”

"Ha, ha, how could that be!"

Telescope technique, puppets, ninja tools that absorb chakra...

Chiba glanced at Tenzo.

"Yeah, and besides, if you treat us as teammates and don't see yourself as a teacher, doesn't that reduce the pressure a bit?"

Although the other person was wearing a mask, he knew that the other person probably didn't understand.

Chiba spread her senses and checked the examination room.

Tianzang asked in a low voice.

Techniques like Chakra Needles and Gentle Fist are constantly being introduced as new systems, and now they've added this "Ninja Tool" as well.

Great, I don't understand it at all!

"..."

"Hmm...you're quite smart, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"You're going to use puppetry?"

Tianzang glanced at it a few times.

Tianzang chuckled dryly.

Chiba thought for a moment and then shared his thoughts.

This……

I'm not sleepy anymore!

"That's right, your ninjutsu is both offensive and defensive, and you don't have to endure the elements in the wild. Hey, where are you going, senior?"

"The competition has started, I'm going to watch!"

"I'm sorry, senior, I was just joking."

Chiba quickly followed.

They returned to the examination hall. At this time, Tenten and Kazusa were back upstairs, while ninjas from Sunagakure and Takigakure were fighting below.

He lost interest after just one glance.

Taki Shinobu is doomed to lose.

He buried himself in revising the drawing.

Before he knew it, time had passed. He was engrossed in his work when Tian Tian and the others suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Chiba looked up.

"what happened?"

"Neji has arrived. His opponent is Temari from Sunagakure, but..."

"What's wrong? Let me see."

Chiba got up and looked out over the fence. Neji was being chased by Temari using wind-style ninjutsu.

No need for eye rolls, Bagua Palm, or anything like that...

No wonder he was being chased and beaten.

He frowned.

"Chiba, this?"

"Look again."

Chiba shook his head.

Clearly, Neji didn't want to use the Byakugan's ability.

Otherwise, with the Byakugan's insightful abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to defeat even Temari.

No need to roll your eyes.

It is a constraint, but also an opportunity.

Both Kai and Kakashi had serious expressions.

This battle...

It is of utmost importance to Neji.

Off the field, Neji constantly dodged the attacks of the wind blades.

He was so used to the white eyes that without them, the battle suddenly felt unfamiliar.

Temari didn't notice at first, but soon she remembered...

Isn't this guy Hinata?

Why didn't you roll your eyes?

"You look down on me?"

Temari stopped, her tone cold.

"No, you are very strong."

"Then why...why don't you open your eyes!"

"This is my business."

"..."

Temari, wielding an iron fan, suddenly swept across the room, creating a brilliant star-like effect.

Call ~

A fierce wind howled, and countless vacuum blades, hidden within the wind, hurtled towards Neji.

The offensive is several times stronger than before!

Neji used all his strength and was still injured, but his eyes grew even brighter.

original……

This is what it feels like to not get eye rolls!

He ran towards Temari.

Even without the White Eye, his speed was still very fast, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to avoid the previous wind blades.

And at this time.

Temari, seeing that he hadn't used his Byakugan for a long time, was already furious—

Two stars.

The wind blades swept across the sky like a tidal wave.

Neji used his Body Flicker Technique and pushed his speed to the limit, arriving at the side in the blink of an eye, only ten steps away from Temari.

"Entering...my territory."
