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

Yamato shook his head.

If things continued like this, he felt like he was the most unconventional Jonin in all of Konoha.

"Captain Yamato, how about this: you help me, and I'll use my ninjutsu as payment."

Chiba said.

That's not what I meant...

"I'll help you research Wood Release."

"Okay, I just wanted to help everyone."

Yamato immediately changed his mind.

He knew he was no match for the First Hokage, but he still wanted to achieve something in Wood Release.

really.

Often, disagreement stems from an insufficient price.

Chiba sighed.

After reaching an agreement, everyone set off as fast as they could.

That night, they returned to Konoha.

"After going out, it's still more comfortable at home!"

He shouts at the door every day.

Even though it's nighttime, there are still quite a few people walking on the streets, with some stalls set up on both sides.

Compared to that, the Land of Grass is far inferior.

"The Land of Grass is, after all, a small country, sandwiched between two large countries. Life is actually very difficult for them. It is already quite remarkable that they have achieved their current level of development."

Chiba shook his head.

Tenten chuckled and said, "That's true, but I'm a ninja from Konoha, not from Kusagakure."

"That's right."

"Well then, see you all at the Hokage Building tomorrow morning."

……

The next day.

At the Hokage Building, Team One reunited to report to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage looked thoughtfully at the report that Yamato had rushed out overnight. After thinking for a long time, he looked up and smiled, "I understand. Chiba, you stay behind. The rest of you can leave."

"Yes!"

Yamato, Kazusa, and Tenten left the Hokage's office as instructed.

After they left, the Third Hokage said, "Chiba, you must have discovered some important intelligence at the base, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Just some guesses from the old man."

The third generation smiled.

Chiba nodded and took out the information he had retrieved from Tenten.

"This information is too important. I dare not use the Flying Thunder Array for transportation. There are also three computers. I don't know if the data has been wiped."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The third generation nodded and then accepted the paper handed over by Chiba.

After watching for a while, his expression suddenly changed.

Intercolumnar cell research?!

"He really didn't give up on this research. If only I had..."

The third generation's face turned ashen.

The research on the first generation of cells inevitably involved some experiments, and one can imagine what Orochimaru did after leaving Konoha.

He deeply regrets being soft-hearted back then.

"My lord, please read on. Also, you are not young anymore, so please control your emotions."

Chiba reminded her.

The third generation got so angry after just watching the beginning; what will they be like after watching the whole thing? They might just collapse and try to frame themselves later.

"Is there anything more than this..."

Continue flipping through the third generation.

Upon seeing what was behind him, his eyes widened in astonishment, filled with disbelief, and he stood up in shock—

The records above show that Orochimaru's research was a success!

One person has bound to the interstitial cells, and there are no obvious signs of backlash yet.

How can it be!

Chiba observes the nose with his eyes, and the heart with his nose.

After being shocked and losing his composure, the third generation calmed down a little and continued reading, then his breathing became rapid with anger.

An arm as a gift?

It's crazy!

He pressed down on the stack of papers.

After taking a few deep breaths, the Third Generation calmed himself down: "Chiba, besides you, who else has seen this?"

"just me."

"I know, you go down first."

The third generation spoke calmly, but the veins on their foreheads bulged.

Obviously.

His emotions were not as calm as they appeared.

After Chiba left, the Third Generation sat down and picked up his pipe with trembling hands.

He wanted to consult with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, but after thinking about their personalities, he sighed and gave up the idea.

The third generation thought about it for a long time.

"Go and find Gale for me."

"Yes!"

……

"Chiba-kun, the Hokage instructed us to take good care of Kimimaro, to prevent him from escaping or dying. Are you going to take him away now?"

"Senior Haiyi, I may have to trouble you to keep him here for a while longer. I will come and take him away in a few days after I finish my work."

"no problem."

Hai nodded and saw Chiba off.

of course.

If he had the choice, he would definitely want Chiba to be taken away as soon as possible.

The Land of Fire has no Corpse Pulse, but their legend has been circulating for a long time.

Everyone in this family is a fighting maniac.

They see nothing but battle; if they were released, as the Third Hokage said, it would be a huge disaster for Konoha.

People like that are like ticking time bombs.

Chiba understood this principle.

But before that, he had to go to the Hyuga clan.

It wasn't for the help of the Hyuga clan.

Although the Kaguya clan and the Hyuga clan have a relationship, it is not to the point that Hiashi would use the Byakugan or secret techniques.

The fact that the Japanese football team even offered a little criticism is already a sign of goodwill.

but.

He knew very well that Kimimaro didn't care about the Kaguya clan at all.

This path is not feasible.

therefore……

The main reason for seeking out the Hyuga clan first was to deliver the Tang Song Dance and incidentally gain some benefits from Hiashi. Secondly, it was to use this time to think about how to talk to Kimimaro.

He hasn't figured out how to deal with Kimimaro yet.

Hyuga family.

One thing Chiba particularly appreciates is—

Others may have other commitments and not be able to meet, but Hyuga Hiashi can always be found at the Hyuga main family.

Like now.

"I apologize for this intrusion and hope I am not disturbing you."

"No, I'm overjoyed that you're here. Please sit down and have some tea."

Hiashi said with a smile.

Chiba sat down as instructed.

Hiashi asked with interest, "Chiba-kun, you just returned to Konoha and came to see me right away. That really surprised me."

"Actually, I arrived last night and met with the Third Generation Lord. I just stopped by to visit you."
