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

after all.

This ability to recover allows him to use self-harm techniques.

Naruto has a certain talent; at least his chakra reserves are extremely high, which allows him to use this technique in such a simple and direct way. But also...

"what?"

There may be trade-offs involved.

Kakashi squinted, speechless.

"It is still a forbidden technique, so it's best to use it sparingly."

wrong.

"Naruto, I'm sorry, I... in the past..."

"Hehehe, Iruka-sensei, I defeated Mizuki today, does that mean I can become a ninja?"

Naruto looked up, his face full of pride and arrogance.

Iruka touched his hair, then took off his own ninja headband and put it on him himself.

"Naruto, you are already a qualified ninja."

"Okay!"

……

"Chiba-kun? Chiba, are you home?"

"Well."

Chiba opened the door and came out, a toothbrush still in her mouth. "What's wrong?"

"Were you alright yesterday?"

Tian Tian clutched the hem of her clothes, looking embarrassed, and said, "I only realized yesterday after I got back that you've always lived alone. What if you encounter any danger..."

"Pah, pah, pah, it's nothing. What could possibly be wrong with me? Last night proved it was all a misunderstanding."

Chiba rinsed his mouth clean, but then didn't explain in detail.

The situation regarding Naruto is quite clear: the Third Hokage wants to use Naruto as bait, and at the same time, wants to see what Naruto's true nature is like.

Just as Tianzang said.

It is better to take away the Book of Creation than to take away the Book of Seal.

The Book of Seals is full of forbidden techniques, while the Book of Creation contains mostly miscellaneous creations by everyone...

The relative importance is immediately apparent.

Tian Tian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She knew that what happened yesterday was definitely not as trivial as Chiba made it out to be, but the fact that he didn't explain meant that the matter was under control and had already been completely resolved.

There's no need to worry about that.

"By the way, I heard something... Is Kakashi-sensei going to lead other teams later?"

Ask the question every day.

Chiba paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't I mention that to you?"

"no!"

Shouting every day.

"Oh, it's not too late to make it up now."

Chiba fell silent after speaking.

She kept her lips pursed, looking like she was about to cry, but she managed to hold it back.

She looked at Chiba.

This guy's outfit makes him look like he's going for a run.

He followed Chiba around every day.

"What do we do next?"

"A new captain will be coming, and you even know him."

"I know?"

Tenten paused for a moment, searching her mind for any Jonin she knew.

Then, she thought of a possibility.

"That secret service squad leader named Tianzang?"

"Ah."

Chiba nodded.

Tenten pursed her lips. Only Chiba knew about this; she and Kazusa hadn't received any prior notice.

Do not!

To be precise, she was the last to find out.

Because today's news was brought to her by Kazusa.

she knows.

As ninjas, it's inevitable to encounter situations like this where reorganization is necessary, but it's still hard to part ways at the end.

Chiba ran ahead without offering any words of comfort.

I ran a few laps.

During his break, he said to Tiantian, "Our team will be reorganized in a while, so we can make the most of this time to train."

"Ah."

"By the way, there's a research project coming up in a few days that might need your help."

Chiba felt he needed to find her something to do.

When I have free time, I tend to daydream.

When you're busy, you won't think about these trivial things.

After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Tian Tian asked, "The ninja tools we mentioned before?"

"That's one project, but I need your help with another one."

Chiba shook his head. "The Fourth Hokage has two special techniques. One is his Rasengan, and the other is the origin of 'Flash,' the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Flying Thunder God?"

Tian Tian thought about it for a long time, and finally shook her head.

Have not heard.

"Interested in a space-time ninjutsu?"

"I'm so interested!"

Tenten grasped Chiba's hand, her two buns of hair trembling with excitement, "Chiba, please let me join!"

"Don't worry, Konoha doesn't have that many people with the talent for space-time ninjutsu."

Chiba patted her on the shoulder.

Tian Tian's spatial abilities may not be top-tier, but they are definitely higher than those of Nami, Raikou, and Genma Shiranui.

As for Chiba himself.

He watched the Flying Thunder God video yesterday and roughly understood its principles, and even secretly tested it himself.

It's not entirely true that there isn't any.

Chiba also possesses some spatial abilities, but not many; at least he cannot fully guide and release the Flying Thunder God Technique.

but.

He believed in Bodhi seeds.

I followed Chiba around excitedly every day, and then I received a thin notebook.

"Since you're interested in space-time ninjutsu, why don't you take a look at my notes in the next few days? I've filtered through the Fourth Hokage's notes, so they're not very thick."

"Didn't you ask???"

Tian Tian's confidence didn't last long. When she opened the title page and saw that it was full of "indexes," she looked at Chiba with a puzzled and bewildered expression.

Until Chiba took out another book.

It's also an index, but it's more than twice as thick as Tian Tian's book, and it contains a lot of things that Tian Tian couldn't understand at all, such as...

The Function and Analysis of Spelling Script

It seems Chiba has already done the screening.

"If you don't understand, go to the Hokage Building to borrow a book. Just mention Flying Thunder God and the Third Hokage will lend it to you."

"it is good."

Tian Tian left.

On this day, Chiba was able to rest peacefully and read.

but.

He still needs to go and take a look at the giant ants.

The giant ant clan has settled down. Yesterday, the Konoha Anbu delivered food to them, and Chiba used Sage Mode chakra.

The modification of Sage Chakra is a long-term project.

While not much change will be visible in the short term, Chiba is certain that the giant ants will "evolve".

There have also been changes on the parasite side.

Many gigantic parasites, after being raised for two generations, have developed intelligence that surpasses that of ordinary parasites.
