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

"There's no suitable one, and I'm alone right now, so I'm not in a hurry."

Zhiwei was not surprised.

“If you are interested, our Younu family still has some businesses.”

He really didn't know!

"At present, it is definitely not possible for it to reside in the body like you used to."

Chiba shook his head.

Take that beetle for example; as the king of insects, it is already the size of a fist.

The newly parasitized worms have become significantly stronger. Although we don't yet know how to utilize them in the future, but...

He went into Chiba's small room.

but.

"no, I'm fine."

He knew that Chiba wasn't stupid; on the contrary, Chiba was very intelligent. He was just too lazy to think about many things.

In Konoha, where land is incredibly valuable, whether or not one can actually buy a house is another matter entirely.

"Chiba-kun, do you have any ideas for the future applications of the parasitic insects?"

He certainly considered it as well.

It may continue to grow larger.

No one could contain such a huge parasitic insect, not even the Akimichi family.

"This is what worries me the most."

Yu Nu Zhiwei nodded immediately.

"Therefore, you need to get involved and test it step by step. The first thing is whether it can amplify the effects of your existing parasites."

"I've thought of that. As for possession, I can only use spirit magic."

"There is still a way."

"Oh?"

Yu Nu Zhiwei immediately perked up.

Is there any other way?

This is really unexpected!

He quickly asked, "What method?"

"You can raise the Inuzuka clan the same way you raise them. They need natural energy and Sage Chakra, but they do need ordinary chakra."

Chiba gave Aburame Shiki a strange look as he spoke, "Don't just focus on absorbing natural energy. I know how to transform into a sage, but I still live in Konoha, don't I?"

"!!!"

Aburame opened her mouth slightly, but then couldn't refute it for a moment.

indeed.

Keeping pets...

The simplest approach is to follow the example of the Inuzuka family and keep them on the sidelines, isn't it?

He pondered for a moment and immediately understood why Chiba had first mentioned the "amplification effect." If the new parasitic insects did indeed have an amplifying effect on ordinary parasitic insects, then—

Having one by your side is like having an extra "general" or "commander".

The Aburame family's techniques are strange and powerful, but their attack power is not very strong. With such a powerful insect, their ability to attack targets has been greatly enhanced.

Kill two birds with one stone.

You Nu Zhiwei was excited and couldn't wait to go to the Death Forest to test it out.

but.

He knew it wasn't the right time.

Of the new parasitic insects, only one king and one subordinate remain; the others still need to be cultivated.

Wait a little longer, we still have to wait!

Aburame took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Often, we complicate things ourselves, when the solution isn't actually that difficult."

That makes sense.

Yu Nuzhi nodded slightly.

Then, he urged Chiba to sign his name.

Chiba naturally wouldn't refuse.

Parasites are a great help.

Although he did not intend to train like the Aburame clan, signing the contract would be very beneficial for his future development and research.

This is beyond doubt.

After signing her name, Aburame Shii chatted for a few more minutes before saying goodbye and leaving the Chiba family home.

at the same time.

On the other side, Orochimaru's stronghold.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is intelligence sent from Konoha."

"it is good."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.

His condition is much worse than before.

Might Guy's attack was too brutal. Although he recovered from his injuries with the help of Kabuto Yakushi's medical ninjutsu, the physical burden he suffered was difficult to eliminate.

He took the letter.

Open it up...

"Ok?"

"interesting!"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Chiba wants the chakra absorption technique?

He remembered that technique.

Although it helped perfect the secret technique of the Copper Armor, it wasn't actually that powerful and was quite useless in actual combat. Orochimaru didn't even bother to promote it.

The child was actually interested in it.

"That lord asked you whether you wish to make an exchange, and if so, what technique do you require?"

"I'll talk to him, you don't need to worry about it. Also, handle things with Shuimu (SMTH) properly, don't leave any clues."

"Yes!"

……

The next day, Chiba was preparing to go to the research institute to handle matters related to powering on the equipment.

The pharmacist came to visit.

Behind him, a man in bronze armor wearing black sunglasses and a face mask stood silently, without saying a word.

"Chiba-kun, I wonder if you still remember our previous promise."

"of course I remember."

Chiba looked at the copper armor with great interest.

Orochimaru agreed?

"You agree to the exchange?"

"I want to know what you're offering in exchange."

"I am in red copper armor," he said calmly.

Chiba gestured for them to come into his room, sat them down, poured them a glass of water, and then briefly explained his technique.

One is the absorption barrier.

Although this barrier technique was extracted from the Earth Prison Hall, it has high practical value when combined with the sealing array, and many of the current elite Chunin in Konoha have already learned it.

The feedback reinforcement it provided to Chiba was also very strong.

In terms of practicality, it is definitely better than the copper armor.

Secondly, muscle control.

"Both of these techniques are very useful for genin and chunin. You can choose one of them."

"..."

To be honest, I'm really tempted by the bronze armor.

Both the former and the latter are of great value to him.

If he really had to choose, he would choose the latter.

It is a pity.

He can't decide this matter on his own.

After a moment of silence, the man in the bronze armor said, "I've heard that you've studied the Soft Fist. I wonder if I could learn that Soft Fist technique from you?"

“Your spell isn’t valuable enough. Although I’m very interested in your spell, it’s not essential to me. Your price is too high… I have to refuse.”

Chiba shook his head.

It's not that we have to keep the secret of Soft Fist.
