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

After pondering for a long time, Ding said, "As we grow larger, our bodies also need more oxygen. I'll give it a try, and if it works, we'll discuss it further."

"it is good."

Chiba nodded.

He currently only has some preliminary ideas about the seven-day breathing method, from the fourth to the seventh day. Only after the fourth activity test is completed will it be possible to continue to deduce the subsequent steps.

He left the Akimichi family and went to Kakashi's training ground.

Although he was the one who suggested the Breathing Activation Technique, the process was created by Kakashi, and he had to respect Kakashi's opinion.

Chiba wants to share the most basic breathing techniques with the village!

This relates to the pattern on his bodhi seed.

Kakashi didn't care about this, and just joked that Chiba should remember to help Naruto with his academic studies.

but.

This requires...

Chiba was completely baffled by this.

Naruto's academic performance is exceptionally poor, and he's not the composed Naruto he'll become in the future. Getting him to concentrate on studying is probably harder than getting him to master ninjutsu.

Even though he now uses multiple shadow clones, the personalities of the shadow clones still largely overlap with his original self.

Chiba didn't dare to agree and ran away using the excuse of being the "question setter".

……

Somewhere in the Fire Country.

"Orochimaru, you asked me out here, surely it wasn't just to talk about these things? If you think I would betray Konoha, you're mistaken."

Danzo sneered and said, "I absolutely cannot help you save that Shikotsumyaku. Forget about it."

"Lord Danzo, perhaps you can take a look at this document."

Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly and handed over a notebook.

Danzo narrowed his eyes, then looked down at the contents above.

After a few seconds, he suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Orochimaru, what do you mean?

"This intelligence was already on the old man's desk a month ago. It seems you were unaware of it. How tragic. Even old friends who have worked together for decades can end up like this."

Orochimaru grinned.

They said they felt "sympathy," but their faces showed nothing but amusement.

after all.

He orchestrated this whole farce himself.

Seeing Danzo somewhat vulnerable, he was overjoyed, feeling he had finally gotten his revenge for what happened years ago.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Lord Danzo, the old man sent men to raid my base, and I didn't receive any news. It's inevitable that I missed some information. Look, I'm taking this opportunity to inform you now."

"..."

Danzo stared at him coldly.

You'd be a fool to believe anything Orochimaru says.

The two stood facing each other for a few seconds, then Danzo took a deep breath and said, "What do you want to do?"

"The war has been over for many years, and Konoha's windmill has been rusty for too long. I think it's time for it to turn."

Orochimaru declared with righteous indignation, "And I am willing to be the catalyst that sets the windmill of the ninja world turning again."

"I see, your target is Hiruzen?"

Danzo seemed to be deep in thought.

"Haha, guess what."

Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

Danzo was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "If it's Hiruzen, I think we have some room for cooperation. Konoha under his rule is too weak, and continuing to rule it will only make Konoha more corrupt."

"You don't need to explain to me, Lord Danzo. I believe we're all doing this for the good of Konoha. Heh, now that we've reached an agreement, let's talk about the previous conditions..."

"Kimimaro is no good. Chiba values ​​him highly. I heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi even gave him the Flying Thunder God Technique to study before, and he may have already made some progress."

Danzo explained his refusal: "If you want to rescue him, you and I have to go in person, but you should understand the consequences if we get blocked."

"Of course."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

Yagyu Chiba.

Previously, he merely admired Chiba and hoped to make Chiba an asset to him, but now he has given up on this unrealistic idea.

Chiba's skills have improved too quickly.

He has even mastered Sage Mode. Although we don't know his specific abilities yet, he might not be able to defeat me in the short term.

If rescuing Kimimaro would lead to encountering Chiba, he would rather abandon Kimimaro.

"By the way, as far as I know, he has a deep cooperation with the Aburame clan, and my most capable subordinate has now become somewhat estranged from me."

Danzo seemed a little annoyed at this point.

Aburame Torune was his right-hand man. He had always used Torune as his trump card, but before he knew it, Chiba had already lured Aburame Torune away.

I should have killed him.

Danzo felt a slight regret.

but.

That was just what he thought.

A Konoha under its own control also needs such geniuses.

He wouldn't have chosen such an extreme solution unless he had absolutely no other choice, and as for the solution...

Danzo raised his hand and touched his right cheek.

"Let's exchange information first."

"I want to know all the information about Yagyu Chiba, especially what S-rank ninjutsu he has researched, and I will tell you what I know."

Orochimaru said seriously.

In the present Konoha, he is not afraid of the Third Hokage or Kakashi, but he is more wary of Chiba.

Even he was somewhat afraid of the child's research abilities.

"it is good."

Chapter 163 Is it necessary to risk your life to deal with Danzo?

"My lord, I am Yagyu Chiba, and I can be considered one of the planners of this Chunin Exams."

VIP room in the Hokage Building.

After meeting the third generation, Chiba came to visit the daimyo to make an introduction.

The man was quite old, but his eyes were very bright. He sat there with great vigor, processing some documents handed to him by the third generation.

Upon seeing Chiba, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Chiba-kun, please come and sit down."

The daimyo closed his fan and placed it aside, watching Chiba with great interest.

This is clearly a child.

but.

After reading the detailed introduction about Chiba, he would not treat Chiba as an ordinary child, and Chiba was not unknown in Daimyo Prefecture.

"I heard you were doing research. I didn't expect to be able to invite you, but I didn't expect the Third Hokage to actually persuade you."

After careful observation, he came to a conclusion in his heart—

Eventually, the lord finally satisfied his gossipy desires and began to inquire about serious matters.

Wait for Chiba to leave.

Chiba answered.

He spent the whole morning telling stories to Daming.

Chiba gave a brief explanation: "The test of finding the correct answer from among the three Chunin mixed in with the others tests one's information gathering and discernment abilities."

Afterwards, the daimyo asked about his recent situation and the status of the research institute.

"Yes, Lord Daimyo, please take a look."

indeed.

The daimyo wasn't concerned with the exam itself, but rather wanted to deepen his understanding of ninjas, subtly probing their operational methods and training techniques.

"I heard you're in charge of the Chunin Exams this year?"

They have a famous name, after all.

"Yes, you are right."

"The most important thing in ninja warfare is intelligence."

He may have come for this reason.

"Toyama, if I had thought the same way as you before, I feel like I have a problem too. At least I didn't create something like the Will of Fire like the Hokage did."

He was too lazy to pretend in front of the three generations, but when he was in front of the daimyo, he certainly couldn't be as disrespectful as he was in private.

Dai-ming nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, one of the planners. Could you tell me more about him?"
