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

They have a kendo dojo, which is where Chiba and Kazusa used to train.

This time, I took him to the martial arts school as well.

"Kazusa, instead of practicing your sword, you ran off... to Chiba?"

Moonlight Gale coughed lightly a few times, then looked at Chiba, no longer dwelling on Kazusa's decision to skip sword practice and run off that morning.

He nodded and gestured for him to proceed.

A thirteen-year-old Special Jonin is more than qualified to be treated as an equal by Hayate Gekko, and even...

Moonlight and Gale secretly felt a bit of admiration.

Once inside the martial arts school, Kazusa said she wanted to practice swordsmanship and then ran off under some pretext, leaving only Chiba and Gekko Hayate behind.

"Kazusa mentioned it to me, cough cough cough, you want to invite me to the research institute?"

Moonlight Gale's face was somewhat pale.

Every spring, his health deteriorates, and he appears very weak.

No wonder he was no match for Machi.

Chiba observed him secretly and replied, "That's right. Your health isn't very good, so I don't think it's suitable for you to perform missions frequently. Instead, you should focus on resting and recuperating. This way, you can have time to come to the research institute to study swordsmanship."

"What kind of swordsmanship do you want to learn? Do you need our family to provide the swordsmanship, or do you have some other ideas? I'm sorry, it's not that I'm stingy, but this matter concerns my family."

Moonlight Gale coughed again as he spoke.

Chiba nodded and said, "Of course, I will provide the ideas and ask everyone to help with the research, but if you are willing to provide knowledge, the institute will also give you generous compensation."

"Do you have any idea?"

Moonlight Gale was somewhat curious.

He knew that Chiba was very creative, but he had heard more about taijutsu and ninjutsu, and had not heard that his swordsmanship was particularly good.

"Let me demonstrate, and you can give me some pointers?"

"it is good."

The moonlight and the swift wind nodded in agreement.

Chiba, holding the white fox, instantly drew his sword.

Moonlight Gale's eyes lit up.

"The Iaijutsu of the Land of Iron".

“That’s right, I learned this from a warrior from the Land of Iron during a previous mission.”

Chiba nodded.

Then, he drew his sword and attacked Moonlight Gale.

Moonlight and Gale drew their swords in a fierce clash.

however.

He soon realized that his knife had gone astray.

The point of leverage shifted as the energy was diverted by a surge of chakra.

The result is--

The opponent's sword exploded with chakra, and the immense force sent the sword flying.

"Very strong swordsmanship!"

Moonlight Gale couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This knife...

It contains two very peculiar sword techniques, which are virtually impossible to block if one does not know them beforehand.

Even if you know, it's probably not that easy to guard against.

He was indeed very interested in studying this type of swordsmanship.

Hayate Gekko looked at Chiba: "Is this the kind of swordsmanship you need me to research?"

"Yes, to be precise, I have already researched the basics of swordsmanship, but I lack practical application. What I need your help in is to research how to integrate them into existing swordsmanship techniques."

Chiba explained.

If Gekko Hayate still doesn't understand after all this, then he's presumptuously calling himself a Special Jonin.

only……

He wasn't just considering Chiba's swordsmanship.

Think for a long time.

"If that's the case," said Gekko Hayate. "The Gekko family is willing to share our research with the research institute as well."

"That's great!"

Chiba was overjoyed.

The more participants there are in this kind of research, the better.

With Moonlight Gale "joining," he had no reason to refuse.

"We will definitely adopt an incentive policy for our partners. I can't make decisions about other things, but I have a few experts here who I think might need them."

Chiba took the opportunity to promote his ninjutsu.

Exceeding limits!

Spiral Blade Force and Heavy Blade Technique are the main techniques studied, so they cannot be used for trading, but the Overlimit state is definitely something the Moonlight Clan needs.

Of course I've heard of Moonlight Gale.

This technique is recorded in the Book of Creation, and there are only two ways to learn it—

The Book of Creation or Chiba.

"Are you willing to give us this technique?"

"This is a deal; you can see it as a special encouragement to the number one."

Chiba explained.

After a moment's thought, Gekko Hayate nodded and said, "Our clan does indeed need it. How about this, my Gekko family has some chakra iron, if you need it..."

“We don’t need chakra iron. To be precise, what Tenten and I need is the experience of forging chakra iron.”

"Then I'll commission the forging!"

Moonlight Gale's eyes lit up.

So, when you calculate it...

Those who live paycheck to paycheck don't lose out at all; in fact, they make a small profit.

They not only gained access to ninjutsu beyond its limits, but also had the opportunity to learn new sword techniques.

Even though they sacrificed their savings, they clearly gained much more.

After reaching an agreement with Gekko Hayate, Chiba simply took out his notebook, flipped to the pages on Heavy Sword Technique and Spiral Sword Force, and explained the intricacies to Gekko Hayate.

"Heavy sword technique and spiral sword force are essentially extensions of ninjutsu into the sword, treating the sword as an integral part of oneself..."

"I see."

Moonlight and Gale seemed lost in thought.

He pondered for a long time, a slight blush appearing on his pale face, and said, "I have a friend who is quite skilled in swordsmanship who I can recommend. I wonder if he could also join us?"

"Sure, but if I may ask, your friend wouldn't happen to be the legendary figure from the Dark Division...?"

Chiba chuckled.

Moonlight Gale's face was slightly flushed, making him look a bit healthier.

He hesitated, then finally nodded, but still stubbornly said, "Just friends."

"Hehe, I'm off."

Chiba waved goodbye.

Moonlight and Gale were speechless for a moment, but then they were secretly pleased.

perhaps……

This is an opportunity.

Not only the Moonlight family, but also him and Uzuki Yugao.

As Chiba emerged from the martial arts gym, he tilted his head to look at Kazusa, who was hiding to the side.

"How come you saw me again!"

"I have strong senses."

"Never mind, that's not important. How did it go?"

"It's done."

Chiba nodded slightly.

Kazusa clenched her fist, a look of joy on her face. "And the other one?"

“My conditions are too good, so… without me even mentioning it, he directly offered to let Uzuki Yugao join the research institute to study swordsmanship together.”

"Huh? Hehehe, what's that expression on his face?"

Kazusa Tsukiko wore a strange smile.

Chiba glanced at it, chuckled, and then...

"secret!"

The next moment, he vanished in an instant.

They reappeared, already far away.

"By the way, I've officially become a Special Jonin now. The team might be reorganized soon, and we might be assigned missions then. Don't let your training fall behind."
