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

A strange smile appeared on Chiba's face.

However, this is just wishful thinking.

Gaara's academic performance is probably not very good, but Kankuro and Temari's knowledge base shouldn't be that bad, considering they are several generations older than Gaara and Naruto.

Thinking like this...

Temari seems to be three years older than Shikamaru?

Chiba's expression immediately became even stranger.

"As for the third round, there's no need for any fancy tricks; it's a clash of hard power."

Chiba figured out the process and quickly wrote it down on a piece of paper.

Once it's handed over to the third generation, the mission will be complete!

Next, there's the research into the art of spiritification, which is the real headache.

Improving an S-rank forbidden technique, especially one that involves the soul and spirit, is as difficult as creating an S-rank ninjutsu directly.

"Let's take it slow. Let's develop a basic version first, and then gradually add and enhance it."

Chiba kept thinking about the knowledge of spirit transformation techniques, figuring out how to combine it with his existing knowledge to create his own mental attack technique.

The simplest, of course, is psychological impact.

Let's start with that.

He took notes as he walked, and by the time he returned to the village, a complete project was essentially finished.

but.

Having just left the Hokage Building, Chiba really didn't want to go back, and besides, he had to "accidentally" meet and have a heart-to-heart talk with Kabuto Yakushi, so he really didn't have any free time.

Thus, the Beetle King was summoned by spirit.

This time there's only one.

"Please deliver this to the Hokage Building office for me."

"..."

Ao looked down at the folded paper in its ninja tool pouch, then flew up to look at Chiba, seemingly lost in deep thought.

This is the first time it has helped deliver a letter.

Although the mailing address is written on the outside of the ninja tool bag, it's not very easy for it to understand.

"Just deliver it. If you don't understand, ask someone."

The key point is that using shadow clones might face the "client's" demands for modifications, while sending summoned beasts eliminates this concern; they simply need to be delivered.

There might be some minor disagreements among the three generations, but they will ultimately accept their own proposals, or they may make modifications themselves.

"Fizz!"

It doesn't understand human scheming and intrigue, but it understands one thing—

You should always get something in return for running errands!

Chiba extracted a small amount of Sage Chakra and fed it to it.

The giant beetle, about the size of a dog, cheered and grabbed its ninja tool pouch, flying towards the Hokage Building.

It didn't take long.

A strange hissing sound rang out from the Hokage Building, followed by a group of ANBU members appearing warily. When they saw the beetle's shape...

They were silent for a moment.

"Disperse, it's the Insect King."

Uzuki Yugao waved her hand.

She had been to the Forest of Death and knew that among the parasitic insects in the forest, there was an extremely powerful and terrifying insect king, whose size was many times larger than that of ordinary parasitic insects.

It seems that's it.

The shell gleamed with a golden sheen, and chakra seemed to flow across it.

That's amazing!

Uzuki Yugao secretly observed, and after the other ANBU ninjas left, the Insect King flew to her side—

"Buzz!"

Ao had seen her before.

This is Chiba's "subordinate".

Uzuki Yugao naturally couldn't understand the chirping of insects, but she could clearly see the brightly written words on the ninja tool bag.

The Hokage's office, where the Third Hokage received his documents.

"What a novel way of communication! Isn't he afraid the letters will be stolen?"

After thinking for only a moment, Uzuki Yugao realized that her idea was extremely absurd.

Who would dare to lay a hand on such a terrifying parasite?

It is said that it can gather an army of parasites in just a dozen seconds.

The oil-producing women are really lucky!

With mixed thoughts in her mind, Uzuki Yugao nodded to the Insect King and said, "Thank you for making the trip. I received the letter and will help pass it on to the Hokage."

"Fizz!"

The Beetle King let out a cry, then disappeared back into the Forest of Death.

Uzuki Yugao arrived at the office with a letter.

The third generation was somewhat speechless: "Was that the Insect King that Chiba raised just now?"

"Yes, it helps deliver the letters. Please take a look."

Uzuki Yugao placed the ninja tool bag on the table.

The Third Hokage took the ninja tool bag and couldn't help but mutter, "Doesn't this kid know how terrifying his parasitic insect is? He lets it fly around the village like that... But thankfully, he's done a good job teaching him."

Although the Beetle King is terrifying, he has great self-control and is not interested in ordinary chakra.

He took out the papers inside.

After only a moment, the Third Generation couldn't help but gasp.

Is this procedure really okay?

"Lord Third Generation, what's wrong?"

Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but lean closer, but then, not daring to look at the contents of the letter, she immediately took a step back.

After much deliberation, the third generation did not consult her, but instead said, "Call Shikaku over; I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes!"

Chapter 157 Chiba: Kabuto, don't you want to try it out?

"Hokage-sama."

"Shikaku, sit down. Take a look at this. It's a proposal that Chiba just wrote."

When Shikaku entered, he saw the Third Hokage lying in a chair, massaging his temples, looking pained and troubled.

what's going on?

After receiving instructions from the third generation, he walked to the table and picked up the paper.

Not much content.

After a quick glance, Shikaku understood the general situation of the revised Chunin Exams. After mentally rehearsing it, his expression also became strange.

This exam process...

It's not that it's bad, quite the opposite, it's absolutely wonderful!

A brilliant improvement.

With only a small modification, the first and second exams were connected, and the importance of intelligence, knowledge, and intelligence gathering capabilities was greatly enhanced.

but.

Want to change it?

Being eliminated in the first round means at least they won't die. In the second and third rounds, some people die every year, which seems to be a good thing for the small ninja village.

After three generations of deliberation, they found it to be feasible.

even.

Shikaku knew the meaning of "three generations"—

The third match was a pure contest of strength.

After the first two rounds of selection, the remaining ninjas are absolutely qualified to become Chunin. This exam is just to make the selected people more authoritative.

The small ninja village gave them some hints, explaining the pros and cons clearly, so they wouldn't be caught off guard and become too scared to take the exam.

Chiba's proposed plan perfectly tested the many abilities required for Chunin, and those who passed the first and second exams were all outstanding individuals.

Do it yourself, solve it yourself.

Shikaku also had a headache.

For the test takers, this was definitely the most difficult Chunin Exam ever.

The third generation chuckled, then couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Yes."

Then he shared his opinion: "This proposal is excellent. It looks demanding and difficult, but in reality, it just filters out the unqualified ones in the first round. In other words, the first hurdle is the most difficult."

"Yes."
