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

"literal meaning."

"what?"

Ino pointed outside, then pointed to herself.

Hai Yi chuckled and said, "You still think you're at a disadvantage? Look at him, he's not happy about it at all!"

"..."

Ino didn't know how to refute it.

after all.

Chiba didn't respond at all.

"He is the most talented young person in the entire Konoha."

Hai sighed.

Ino was speechless. If it had been a while ago, she would have definitely used the fact that Chiba couldn't undergo a nature change as an excuse, but now...

She had realized that even if the opponent didn't change their nature, they could still wipe out an entire team with one hand.

however.

We're actually only one year apart in age.

This is the gap.

We must admit our weakness.

"Chiba is currently setting up a research institute. Why don't you go and take a look? We'll provide guards, so getting you in shouldn't be a problem."

"You decide."

Ino did not refuse.

Firstly, she was very curious about Chiba's research institute.

Secondly...

She genuinely wanted to make some changes.

At least it can't be used as a decorative vase.

During this time, Ino often thought about her helplessness in battle and the scene where Sakura was directly frightened unconscious by the illusion.

A ninja should still look like a ninja.

……

Temple of Fire.

As Jiraiya was explaining the condensation and cultivation of Sage Chakra, a bird suddenly flew over from afar, circled the courtyard twice, and finally landed on the eaves of the main hall.

Di Lu recognized it at a glance.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Think about it yourselves, I'll take this message."

"Yes!"

While everyone was pondering, Jiro walked out of the main hall, waved to the people above, and the ninja birds quickly landed.

Jiraiya took the letter from under the ninja bird.

At first, he was relatively calm, but soon...

"what?"

He stared wide-eyed at the letter in astonishment.

Buddha?

How can it be!

Di Lu was extremely surprised, his mind went completely blank.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he vaguely remembered—

It seems there are indeed similar records in the Temple of Fire.

The source of the talents of the immortal race is the "immortals" of ancient times, which later evolved into the "immortal race". The so-called "talents of the immortal race" are actually the techniques used by the immortals.

"So, Chiba unintentionally discovered the 'Secret of the Immortal'?"

While surprised, Di Lu couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Fairy!

Even within the Temple of Fire, there are only fragments of ancient records, and since long ago, no monk has been able to master the transformation into a sage.

Chiba's discovery can be said to have filled the gap in the history of the Fire Temple.

Di Lu was incredibly excited, but he still patiently watched on.

Then, he noticed a small request from Chiba.

"Kakashi Hatake?"

Di Lu recalled for a moment.

Kakashi is considered the number one figure of the new generation in Konoha, and he is also a disciple of the Fourth Hokage. He has a real chance of becoming the next Hokage in the future.

Such a status...

Its origin is certainly credible.

As for strength.

The name of the Copy Ninja is now known to almost everyone in the ninja world. With Kakashi's abilities, he can definitely keep the secret.

After thinking it over, Di Lu decided to hold a meeting.

of course.

The meeting wasn't mainly about Kakashi, but rather about Sage Mode.

It only takes half a day.

In the main hall, the elders gathered once again.

The difference is, this time...

"Di Lu, why did you call us here?"

"Yes, I'm sensing the natural energy, and I'm almost there!"

"If you have something important to say, say it quickly."

Everyone was in a hurry, eager to return to their cultivation immediately, and did not want to waste time at the meeting in the main hall.

Di Lu smiled broadly.

Meetings used to be his least favorite occasion, but now they are Di Lu's favorite.

Seeing the elders' impatient expressions, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words, but today's matter was more important, so he decided not to play the stalling game.

"Chiba entrusted Asuma to deliver a letter, which mainly talked about two things."

"Any new discoveries?"

The elders immediately became excited.

Jiro nodded and said, "That's right. According to Chiba's description, he discovered that he could use special powers to become a special, Buddha-like state, so he wrote to ask if our Fire Temple had such a situation."

"The Immortal Clan! It's the Immortal Clan!"

The main hall erupted in chaos.

The elders knew the origins of the names of the immortal talents like the back of their hand, reciting them fluently even more fluently than Di Lu.

Therefore, they were even more out of control than Dilu had been.

"Who still doubts our cooperation with Chiba?"

"Ahem, host, let's talk about this now... or let's continue with the matter of the Immortal Clan."

Elder Baishi blushed.

Now that he has mastered the power of the Immortal Clan, he can be said to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of his cooperation with Qianye. How could he possibly have the face to talk about what happened back then?

Jiro smiled and said, "Chiba didn't go into details. It must have been developed unintentionally, and he himself isn't very clear about it now."

"This……"

Elder Shiraishi hesitated for a moment and said, "Could you please invite Chiba-kun to the Fire Temple for a face-to-face discussion?"

"I'll try, but it's difficult."

Di Lu sighed softly.

These elders probably didn't realize that Chiba wasn't someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will in Konoha.

He's a genius from Konoha.

The initiative is not in the hands of the Fire Temple.

He then brought up Kakashi's matter.

"Chiba-kun has another matter to ask, which is that he hopes we can agree to him passing on his Sage Chakra to Kakashi. Let's discuss it."

but.

At this moment, who still cares about Kakashi?

Fairy clan!

This is the key.

Everyone discussed it animatedly. After a while, Shiro said, "Master, how about this? You send a letter to tell him that we agree to Kakashi's matter. Also, I remember that Asuma has also mastered the Sage's talent?"

"Yes."

"Let Chiba-kun discuss and study the abilities of the Immortals with Asuma first. If it's successful, then it won't be too late to have Chiba or Asuma come to the Fire Temple."

After chatting for a while, Elder Baishi calmed down.

The number of ninja monks in the Fire Temple who possess the talents of the immortals is extremely limited.
