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

Gentle Fist: Burst is his own Gentle Fist style, which does not involve any elements of Hyuga Gentle Fist and is not the same as Hyuga Gentle Fist, so there is nothing wrong with revealing it.

but.

The two are not of equal value.

Even if Chiba wanted to research chakra absorption techniques, he wouldn't do it at a loss.

The red copper armor remained silent for a few seconds, and then almost couldn't help but look at Yakushi Kabuto, but fortunately he remembered his situation and stopped himself.

"Chiba-kun, another teammate of mine has special expertise in taijutsu. How about we combine that taijutsu with a Gentle Fist technique?"

Yakushi Kabuto spoke at the opportune moment.

Chiba knew his teammate's abilities, but he wasn't interested in software modifications.

but.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm not interested in your teammate's technique. If you really want to change, how about we do it another way? You demonstrate once, and I'll demonstrate once too."

"This……"

The red copper armor looked at Kabuto Yakushi.

Dou is conflicted.

As genin, their best option is undoubtedly to agree to the first condition; as for the second, they probably won't be able to grasp its mysteries after just one demonstration.

not to mention.

Orochimaru had already been tricked once before, so this deal was completely unnecessary.

Kabuto could only sigh regretfully and say, "In that case, we will choose to absorb the barrier."

Muscle control...

He believed that Orochimaru's research was definitely superior to Chiba's, so he didn't even consider that possibility.

The deal was struck, and Chiba wrote down the hand seals and effects of the absorption barrier, handing them to the Copper Armor.

The man in the bronze armor took it and said, "My technique is a special ability; it doesn't involve hand seals, and I don't know how to teach it..."

"It's alright, just attract my chakra."

Chiba gestured for him to make a move.

The man in the copper armor nodded and began to absorb his chakra.

Chiba pushed his senses to their limit.

How the copper armor was absorbed and transformed was clearly presented in his perception.

In the blink of an eye, Chiba had a lot of his chakra absorbed.

After absorbing about 20%...

"All right."

"Ah."

The man in the bronze armor withdrew his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Should we use it again later?"

"Uh, no need, it's fine now. Thank you very much for agreeing to the deal."

"Ah."

The man in the bronze armor silently lowered his hand.

Kabuto bid farewell to Chiba and then left with Akakon-gai.

After walking down a street and finding no one around, the man in red copper armor said incredulously, "Just one demonstration and we've exchanged for a ninjutsu?"

He felt it was absurd.

Kabuto Yakushi, however, was not surprised and said with a smile, "For ordinary people, an impractical technique is naturally less valuable than a complete technique, but it is not the case for geniuses."

"Can he improve it?"

"Clearly, the technique he gave you is just a chakra absorption ninjutsu, isn't it?"

Kabuto smiled and said, "Chiba is quite honest. He didn't hide anything and just laid out his needs and sincerity."

"Ah."

The red copper armor recalled the contents of the "absorption barrier".

That technique...

In some ways, it's more practical than your own.

"He traded for your technique, so he can use it to make up for the shortcomings of his own ninjutsu, and even create a new technique. Do you still think he lost out?"

Kabuto smiled, then a hint of melancholy crept into his expression—

That's the difference between a genius and a mediocre person.

A genius can create something from nothing, while a mediocre person can only pick up scraps from others.

but.

To say that the man in the bronze armor is mediocre is an understatement.

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, then smiled and said, "We didn't lose out either. Although we didn't get Gentle Fist, there's nothing we can do about it. I believe Lord Orochimaru will understand."

"Then this technique..."

"Go ahead and learn it; it would be best if you could learn it."

It doesn’t matter if you can’t learn it.

Anyway, we won't need it anymore soon.

Chapter 121 Ninja World Version of Metamorphosis

"Kakashi-sensei, why is it another D-rank mission? When can we take on C-rank missions?"

"Naruto! (Well said!)"

"..."

Seeing the three students' different reactions, Kakashi sighed silently.

These three children...

They're much harder to deal with than the three from Class 10.

I really envy Asuma!

However, Asuma received Chiba's help; otherwise, given Shikamaru's reputation at school, he would never be as sensible as he is now.

Kakashi sighed, "We're not doing a mission today."

"Huh? Then..."

"We have a special training session today."

Naruto spotted Shikamaru and the others from afar and was about to get up to greet them, but...

Naruto was somewhat unconvinced.

Sakura retorted in a low voice.

Sasuke and Naruto looked over at the same time.

Kakashi nodded approvingly.

Shikamaru and the others were planting rice seedlings. It was the busy season for farming, and they often had this kind of task; they had received it once before.

Shikamaru and the others seem to be...

"different?"

Totally incomparable.

Sakura looked at Kakashi in surprise, then realized something: "Are they practicing treading water?"

Kakashi rubbed his temples, then pointed into the distance. "Look at them, and think about your attitude when you're on a mission. Compare the differences."

but.

He made an appointment with Asma: today, in addition to completing a D-level mission, Class 10 would also help Class 7 with special training.

"Heh, you're the worst class I've ever taught. You dare compare yourself to Chiba? Chiba created two or three techniques before even graduating. How many have you guys?"

I wonder if Choji and the others can handle it.

Damn it, I'm getting tough!

Sasuke and his two companions were speechless.

"But I heard that when you took on Chiba-senpai, you immediately accepted a C-rank mission."

Sakura looked up.

Kakashi walked forward.

Kakashi was a little worried. Although Sakura was relatively weak, Sasuke and Naruto were not weak in combat, especially after they recently learned Shadow Clone Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Kakashi raised his hand.

"tread water?"

"That's right, do you remember the team I emphasized? Besides Chiba, they also had Tenten and Gekko Kazusa. The former was good at throwing ninja tools and providing long-range support, while the latter was good at stealth and finding opportunities to assassinate."

"..."

"A chakra training technique. Actually, all D-rank missions have deeper meanings. Planting rice seedlings allows you to perform a mission while wading through water, and catching cats can train teamwork and intelligence gathering..."

Kakashi was practically saying it outright—

Kakashi read them aloud one by one, "If you can't even do the basics well, how can you carry out C-rank or even B-rank missions?"

Arrived at the location.

The three of them stopped instantly, and Naruto looked around warily.
