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

and.

The two spider legs at the top are like two sharp teeth, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

Only after getting close did Chiba's puppet-based martial arts truly come into play.

His eight exolimbs allow him to perform many poses that are impossible in normal circumstances, allowing him to evade Maki's ninjutsu and attacks, while his counterattacks are equally unpredictable.

The eight limbs could be legs, eight knives, or even a shield.

If the puppeteer's physical skills were a little stronger...

Maki was breathing rapidly.

This technique would be extremely helpful to Sunagakure; it must be acquired through a trade, even—

however.

The idea for the research that he secretly jotted down only stayed in Maki's mind for less than a second before he rejected it himself.

If Sunagakure were stronger than Konoha, they could disregard this contract, but since Konoha could come up with this technique, they must be confident they could break it.

even.

There may be many difficulties inside that you can't see.

If the other party has any hidden tricks up their sleeve, going back at my own risk will not only fail to help the village, but may also bring an even more terrible disaster to it.

Sunagakure cannot afford to take that risk.

Maki took a deep breath and said, "Apart from Wind Release ninjutsu, we are willing to exchange ideas with Konoha. We hope that Lord Chiba can provide us with more guidance in the future."

"A friend is someone who is willing to sit down and communicate. Everything can be discussed. I hope the Fourth Kazekage can come out and oversee things so that our two villages can have a proper exchange."

Chiba said, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

A hint of joy appeared on Maki's face. He suddenly looked at the Third Hokage, and seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi nod slightly, he was overjoyed.

After agreeing to the exchange of ninjutsu, Konoha really doesn't need any other conditions.

While ninjutsu itself is very important, obtaining such ninjutsu and ninja tool manufacturing plans would be a huge boost for Sunagakure.

of course.

Maki was well aware of the hidden dangers.

As Konoha gains a deeper understanding of Sunagakure's ninjutsu, Sunagakure will find it increasingly difficult to gain the upper hand against Konoha in the future.

but.

From the Second Shinobi World War to the present, Sunagakure has never gained the upper hand in its wars against Konoha.

If you can't beat Konoha, you can attack Iwagakure, or develop in other directions.

Marki's thinking is becoming increasingly flexible.

"So now we can finalize some of the ninjutsu for communication, right?"

"of course."

……

"Chiba, how much of your strength did you use just now? Can this ninja tool be made available to the Anbu?"

"Don't overestimate it. A ninja tool is a ninja tool. No matter what, it depends on the user's ability."

"How so? It clearly looks incredibly powerful."

Uzuki Yugao was somewhat puzzled.

With eight legs, it can attack, defend, and accelerate, and can also be combined with its own taijutsu and ninjutsu, making it very versatile and comprehensive.

She didn't understand why Chiba was so dismissive.

Chiba smiled and said, "That's because I'm performing."

"You mean? Because you're stronger than Maki, that's why you can make the ninja tools look so powerful?"

Uzuki Yugao understood somewhat.

Chiba nodded: "My comprehension should be a bit stronger than that of an average person. How could a normal puppeteer be proficient in taijutsu, swordsmanship, puppet manipulation, and ninjutsu at the same time?"

"There probably are, but it's impossible for them to be as powerful as you."

Following the answer, Uzuki Yugao immediately understood—

That's it!

This is just a scam...

No.

It's not fair to call it deception; Chiba's puppetry skills can indeed reach that level, it's just that they themselves don't know how to use them.

Also.

Your comprehension is not just a little strong, but far stronger.

"Itsuki Yugao said quietly."

"But if you're interested, you can ask Tiantian for help later. She created this. As for the puppet technique, I'll write it down and send it to the Dark Division."

"Yes!"

Uzuki Yugao was overjoyed.

While she and Maki were a bit too excited after seeing the seller's photos, they also genuinely felt that this puppet taijutsu was of great value to ordinary ninjas.

It is easier to operate than proper puppetry, and its practical value is very high.

If this technique doesn't work, then what else do we need?!

As for Chiba.

This guy is too abnormal, so powerful that he no longer needs the help of these ninja tools, and the ninja tools even restrict his performance.

There are still significant differences between people.

Uzuki Yugao sighed inwardly.

"I hope the Third Hokage can squeeze more out of my ninjutsu knowledge, otherwise it would be a waste of my hard work these past two or three days. By the way, Senior Yugao, when I go back to the Anbu training, I'll have Senior Hayate come and help me."

"Go tell him, why are you telling me?"

"It's good that you're right here with me, saving me the trouble of making a trip. I'm very busy; I have to go to the Inuzuka family to discuss something very important..."

"Pooh!"

Chapter 185 Itachi, are you an undercover agent?

"So, our current situation is that we traded some ninjutsu for a variant of puppetry?"

In the dark room, the Fourth Kazekage spoke indifferently, his expression completely calm.

Machi lowered his head.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage, but I have seen this technique. It is indeed very exquisite and has formed a completely independent system. If it can be popularized, the strength of our Sunagakure Village can indeed be raised to a higher level."

"I see."

Luo Sha's tone revealed neither joy nor sorrow.

The narrow, dark room fell silent for a long time. After a while, he sighed heavily and said, "Maki, I understand your thoughts. Thank you for your hard work."

"No, it is my incompetence that has led to this situation."

"It's not your problem, it's Orochimaru's fault!"

Luo Sha shook his head, a hint of annoyance appearing on his face.

Only through training and research can one gain a deep understanding of a particular ninjutsu; this is a consensus among most ninjas.

I won't take the blame for this!

"It's said to be a technique of the Second Hokage."

He looked up and saw Luo Sha falling diagonally.

"..."

Kakashi's mouth twitched.

Luo Sha's face paled slightly upon hearing this.

"Lord Kazekage, in my opinion, we shouldn't bother with Konoha. We can't win. Yagyu Chiba's strength is terrifying; his taijutsu alone could kill someone in the blink of an eye..."

How did Yagyu Chiba know how to break the Impure World Reincarnation technique?

Orochimaru!

He must kill Orochimaru after he gets out, otherwise he will not be able to quell his hatred.

"It definitely has nothing to do with me."

"Lord Kazekage! Someone, Lord Kazekage has fainted!"

……

The body is probably completely cold by now.

"In short, Luo Sha chatted with Maki for a while, and then he fell unconscious. We don't know the specifics. He is the Kazekage after all, so we can't possibly eavesdrop."

This……

I really didn't expect that.

That kid practiced too?

Rasa looked at him in surprise, "Didn't Orochimaru escape?"

Maki opened his mouth, then whispered, "Lord Kazekage, Orochimaru... he's dead."

Maki was trying to persuade Rosa when he suddenly heard a strange noise, followed by a viscous liquid spraying onto his head.

"What do you mean by coercion? This is peaceful exchange."
