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

Chiba smiled slightly, then slowly followed the steps in front.

Teacher Kai is treating us to dinner; let's think about what to eat.

Neji frowned slightly.

This guy seems to enjoy lecturing, and he readily hands out those ninjutsu techniques, showing none of the intention of keeping them as secret techniques like some other clans.

too weird!

He racked his brains but still couldn't understand Chiba's thought process. By the time he came to his senses, everyone else had already gone far away.

"Neji, keep up."

Xiao Li's voice came through.

"understood."

Neji gave a curt reply and then reluctantly followed behind.

……

Hokage Building Office.

"Hahaha, Kakashi really put in a lot of effort in this battle, and even had his bell taken away in the end. It wasn't easy for him!"

The third generation laughed loudly.

"Lord Hokage, this is not something to be laughed at, and you should take care of your health."

Shikaku scratched his head.

"Okay, cough cough, an old man like me really can't laugh too hard. Anyway, what do you think of the three of them?"

The three generations asked the question with serious expressions.

"They are very strong. Chiba goes without saying; his tactics, intelligence, and strength are all quite strong. Apart from lacking mission experience, he has no flaws. Tenten's ninja tool control is extremely strong."

Shikaku said seriously, "As for Tsukiko Kazusa, you originally planned to recruit her into the Anbu for training, right?"

"Yes, according to Hayate's original plan, it was indeed intended to include her in the Dark Unit training after a period of time, but I don't quite agree. She is introverted, but she likes to talk to her friends and is a child who admires the light."

The Third Hokage took a deep drag on his cigarette. "The Anbu isn't suitable for her, so I persuaded Hayate to go with Kakashi and Chiba. She can choose for herself later. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Indeed, this child..."

Shikaku looked at the crystal ball, inside which Moonlight and Sasa were chatting happily with Maya and Tenten, completely unlike their usual secluded selves in crowds.

This child is not suited for the Dark Side.

Kakashi struggled so much against these three children, which shows that their strength had fully reached the level of a genin—no, even some chunin might not be their match.

If we wait another year...

If they add one more person to their three-person team, they will be able to form a complete squad.

The three generations' predictions seem quite reasonable.

"I agree with your suggestion. Besides, even if we can't complete the Chunin Exams this year, I don't think it will be a big deal. Adding one more experienced elite Chunin will be more than enough."

"Oh? You think it's that good?"

The third generation was somewhat surprised.

Elite Chunin, that means...

In Shikaku's view, the three of them could reach a point within a year where they wouldn't drag down the Chunin as a whole.

"I believe in Kakashi and Chiba."

Chapter 26 is indeed beyond my understanding; you just taught me that.

"The barbecue is so delicious! Ahh, after eating today, I'll have to lose weight for a month!"

"Haha, even so, it's not an everyday opportunity for a Jonin to treat you, so please eat whatever you like."

Tian Tian scratched his head.

Chiba sighed softly, "We exercise a lot every day. As long as we don't eat like this every day, it's enough to offset the effects. There's no need to lose weight specifically."

"Really?" x2

"Let's go. Although we passed the exam, our method was not very respectable."

Chiba smiled.

Tian Tian pouted and said, "I know, I will train hard."

“I’m not saying you’re our weakness. Kakashi-sensei’s main target is you because he can’t find Kazusa instantly. If he targets me, it would perfectly match our tactics, so he can only choose you.”

Chiba said seriously, "You are an excellent ninja, aren't you, Kazusa?"

In the two years he had known Chiba, he watched as Chiba gradually learned all of his martial arts skills and then slowly developed his own unique style.

This meal cost far more than expected!

"..."

He definitely wouldn't have paid that money if he hadn't agreed.

"Alright, let's go practice our swordsmanship together."

"Yes, that's right, all three of us are excellent!"

"where to?"

"Okay!"

Kai chuckled.

"Hey! I helped too, okay?"

"Kai, it seems your disciple has some mental issues. Keep a close eye on him, otherwise it would be a real shame to waste his talent."

"Haha, Kakashi, having a disciple like this must be a lot of pressure, right?"

Kakashi is unusually serious.

Tenten's lips twitched, and she said with a hint of speechlessness, "Kazusa, what you're saying... you've got guts. How should I put it, if I team up with the First Generation, we're invincible?"

Moonlight and gauze fluttered.

Kai wasn't going to dwell on that little bit of money. When the conversation turned to business, he quickly forgot about the slight unpleasantness and sighed, "Yes, let's observe from here on out."

Inside the store, Might Guy finished paying and looked at Kakashi with a resentful expression.

"Watch them train and think about how to teach them."

"gone."

Kazusa puffed out her chest, looking proud.

Kakashi waved his hand.

Teaching such geniuses often puts even more pressure on teachers.

"Ah."

"Oh, right, while teaching him ninjutsu, don't forget to make sure he keeps training. Taijutsu can't be neglected, and also..."

"Uh, what did you just say?"

"Kakashi, you truly are my eternal rival!"

……

Moonlight House.

This was Chiba's first time practicing swordsmanship in such a professional dojo, but he quickly adapted. Overall, it wasn't much different from the forest, except for the addition of some professional equipment.

For example, mannequins.

but.

To be honest, it's not as useful as a tree trunk.

Why aren't you practicing?

Kazumi Chiba was sitting cross-legged there, showing no sign of making a move. Kazumi thought he was just not used to the environment. "Should we move to another place?"

"No, I was just thinking about how to use the sword better, because I've only been learning for a short time and I feel my swordsmanship is still very immature."

Chiba smiled gently.

Kazusa tilted her head.

Indeed, this guy knows how to use a sword, but he didn't use it when he fought Kakashi at noon.

Is it really that mediocre?

Great!

Finally, there's something I'm not good at.

Moonlight Kazusa was overjoyed. She felt that Chiba was like an ordinary person now, so she said excitedly, "Tell me, and I'll teach you!"

“Samurai used to be very good at Iaijutsu. I tried practicing it a few times, but it didn’t feel quite right.”

Chiba said.

"Iaijutsu is indeed a very ancient sword technique. I even studied it privately for a while and happen to know some of it."

As Yueguang and Sha spoke, they tossed out a piece of wood.

bass!

With a flash of light, the wood was severed into three pieces in the instant the blade was sheathed.

"So fast!"

His eyes always light up.

As expected of a sword-wielding family, their swordsmanship is far superior to theirs.

Chiba pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "I see. Iaijutsu has a unique technique for generating power, and the one I figured out myself was a bit off."
