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

Kakashi squinted, sensing something was amiss. After a moment's thought, he didn't bring up the money and quietly left the hospital with Chiba.

They followed him all the way to the private room of the barbecue restaurant.

Kakashi couldn't help but gasp.

"Chiba."

"Hmm? Kakashi-sensei, come in and have a seat."

"No, I'd like to ask if you have any questions first. If so, please ask me before deciding whether or not to have this meal."

Kakashi's expression was grave.

"Although I do have a question I'd like to ask, it's definitely not anything dangerous... Alright, I'd like to ask you about Lightning Release Armor. I'd like to create a defensive ninjutsu technique using chakra."

Is it really necessary to be so scared?

Chiba remained silent.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

This meal...

It looks like it's edible.

He went inside and sat down, and Chiba took the menu from the waiter and ordered a bunch of things.

After the waiter left, he set up a soundproof barrier and then said, "Kakashi-sensei, have you ever copied the Lightning Release Armor?"

"I've seen it, but I haven't learned it."

Then, Kakashi explained the reason—

Lightning Release Armor requires maintaining Lightning Release chakra to keep the whole body in an active state, and then combining it with taijutsu and high-density chakra to achieve a defensive effect.

The reason he wouldn't is simple and straightforward.

Not enough chakra!

"With that chakra, I could kill several of them with my Lightning Blade and speed, so I've never tried it."

"Could you tell me how to combine its chakra and taijutsu?"

"of course."

Kakashi thought for a moment and began to understand Chiba's idea. "Using respiratory activity to replace the stimulation of Lightning Release chakra? That's certainly feasible, but ordinary chakra can't achieve the same internal and external cohesion as Lightning Release chakra."

"I also have a chakra shield, which replaces the effect of lightning chakra with internal and external circulation."

Chiba explained.

Kakashi pondered for a few seconds.

The chakra shield should be the same technique from before.

Ok……

That's something worth trying; if successful, it could significantly improve defensive capabilities.

He pulled out "Intimate Violence".

"I'll write it down when I get back after dinner. Are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'll be staying in the village tonight."

I have to go see Dingza tomorrow morning, so Chiba won't be going back to the research institute tonight.

Kakashi nodded.

"Then I'll go back and practice and organize it, and I'll give it to you tomorrow. I'll also talk to you about breathing activity and your current technique."

"no problem."

Chapter 161: Is the Third Hokage going to take action against Danzo?

After returning, Chiba sent a letter to Tenten at the research institute—

He can already perform this level of Flying Thunder God teleportation on his own, but it's still unlikely he can teleport people or living beings.

The latter has a different level of requirements for the stability of the space channel.

The letter instructed Tenten and Kazusa to come to Konoha and register for the Chunin Exams tomorrow.

Although this was something Yamato should have done, he's been very busy lately, either helping the Wood Clone or researching natural energy, so he simply doesn't have the time.

Chiba doesn't mind doing it for him.

As a special Jonin and head of the research institute, he is also qualified to help with the registration.

the next day.

"Kazusa, who do you think our third teammate will be?"

The questions must be set professionally.

I never imagined I might become a temporary team member...

Chiba chuckled as he said this, "Besides, I'm afraid we won't be able to control the situation. It would be embarrassing if these candidates couldn't even pass the first stage. Let's leave it to the professionals."

"I heard you set the exam questions?"

On the roof of the Hokage Building.

Naruto complained from the front.

Kabuto already knew the two girls' personalities, so he had no intention of communicating with Kazusa.

Kabuto smiled and started chatting with her.

He saluted every day.

Why bother?

Sasuke and Sakura followed behind, clearly also looking unwilling, but Sakura looked more tired.

"I also received a message from Chiba-kun, asking me to wait here. He said that the Hokage arranged teammates for me. It seems that it is you two. It's a pleasure to meet you."

For characters like Chiba and Kakashi, the questions might be too difficult if the test is not carefully designed, making it meaningless for the exam and potentially leading to complaints from other villages.

"Kakashi-sensei told us to come early, but I'm sure I'll arrive very late. In my opinion, there's no need to come too early at all."

I glanced at the time...

Just as she was about to speak again, she turned her head and saw a figure walking towards her from the street in the direction of Konoha Hospital.

Chiba and Kakashi sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the two teams.

Kakashi shook his head.

pocket?

Tian Tian seemed lost in thought. She had always felt that guy was a bit strange, that he was too enthusiastic towards Chiba, as if he had ulterior motives.

The pharmacist has arrived.

The world is too complicated!

really.

Kazusa stood to the side with a strange expression.

"Senior Dou, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I heard that Kabuto's teammates died during the mission."

"I can't even do Sage Mode right now, so talking about that is too far off."

He looked down, narrowed his eyes, and said, "That Pharmacist Kabuto seems to have joined the medical class now? How capable is he? Will he hold them back?"

“Very good. He is more suited to be a medical ninja and is better at research and invention than an ordinary ninja.”

Even Kakashi, using his Sharingan, spent a long time learning before he finally grasped the basics and barely mastered it with Chiba's help.

Kakashi sensed it for a moment, then said, "Your technique can completely isolate one's own aura and even block perception... It's very interesting, but it's a bit difficult."

After a while.

"It's fake news. I provided the process, but the title has nothing to do with me, and I don't have the time for it."

She didn't say anything more, but a slight smile appeared on her face.

"In the midst of battle, you can try using internal and external chakra circulation to slowly absorb natural energy. Although you don't absorb much, it can at least sustain you for a few more seconds."

"Wasa said in a low voice."

Kakashi clearly understood this as well, and began to complain bitterly, recounting stories from shortly after he became the captain of the Anbu.

They were having a great time chatting, but the people waiting below were getting impatient.

Chiba said, "I am currently assessing his abilities."

She watched silently, without uttering a word.

"Not at all, we're in the same team as the seniors, so we're much more confident about this exam."

It's best to avoid social interactions.

She seemed a little unwell just a moment ago, but then she suddenly became so happy.

"That's about it. I'll go downstairs and talk to Naruto and the others. What about you?"

"I'll go downstairs and wait."

Inside the meeting room, Jonin began to arrive one after another.

Asuma, Guy, and others were prominently featured, while the Third Hokage and Iruka were at the very front.

"Chiba-kun, you're here too. Whose Jonin are you playing?"

"Hokage, Asuma-senpai, Captain Yamato has been very busy lately, so he asked me to register on his behalf. I recommend Kazusa Tsukikage, Tenten, and Kabuto Yakushi to participate in the Chunin Exams."

Chiba said.

Iruka did as he was told and wrote it down.
