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

Chiba shook his head.

Having been apart for a while, this disciple has become even more shameless than before.

They could have just robbed them, but instead, they kindly created a puppet martial arts technique and gave it to them.

"what?"

Kakashi leaned closer and whispered, "Didn't you force Maki to agree to some conditions?"

Luo Sha remained silent for a few seconds.

Luo Sha took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but he still felt a lingering resentment and didn't know how to vent it.

What kind of logic is this?

"Okay, okay, eat your noodles, eat..."

"Chiba-senpai, Kakashi-sensei, what are you talking about? The noodles are already served."

Is it possible?

As Kakashi was answering, he suddenly exchanged a glance with Chiba, then subtly looked behind him.

If that's the case, they'll have no choice but to accept this loss, and who knows, Sunagakure might even have to thank them—

but.

He was even more confused.

"The Wind Shadow is unconscious? What does that have to do with me!"

Maki didn't know the specifics, but he had heard that Orochimaru died at the hands of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

So, Orochimaru didn't deliberately trick him; rather, this guy's ninjutsu was genuinely cracked.

Chiba was sitting in the ramen shop when he ran into Kakashi and Naruto. They chatted for a bit, and it turned out that Kakashi was still in contact with Rasa when he was unconscious.

This breath?

He gave Chiba a wink.

Chiba then used his mental powers to send a message.

“After growing up?”

"..."

Kakashi didn't dare to answer—

Chiba could communicate using mental power, but he couldn't; he could only give hints while eating noodles.

Chiba Ryoun.

As before...

Itachi is here!

He continued to relay the message: "Let them pass first, then send someone to follow them later."

"Is there enough noodles? If not, we'll have a few more bowls."

Kakashi spoke gently to Naruto.

Chiba sensed the outside world constantly. Two auras slowly walked past the doorway, and the fog that had dissipated somewhat in the morning on the riverbank seemed to thicken again.

Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki.

This duo is really here!

He quietly ate his noodles faster, and when he was almost done, Itachi and Kisame left the village and headed towards the village entrance.

Chiba stood up.

"Kakashi-sensei, I have something to attend to, so I'll be going now."

"it is good."

Kakashi nodded and then went to chat with Naruto.

Chiba walked out of the ramen shop, but his mind was already preoccupied with what he should do if he encountered Itachi later.

Secretly revealing Itachi's identity?

If I want Izanami, it seems that this is the only way. Even if I can't gain the other party's trust, it can at least serve as a bridge to get closer.

just.

Itachi doesn't use telepathy, so if you want to talk to him, you'll probably have to actively enter the Tsukuyomi space.

This……

Although Chiba had been diligently training his mental strength and it was not weak, he was still somewhat apprehensive about entering Tsukuyomi.

"Forget it, let's find two helpers first."

Act in full set.

If you are under an illusion spell, but the other person remains motionless, it all seems very strange.

Luckily, the adulterous couple was right there.

Chiba held his breath and went over.

"Red, how's your medical ninjutsu training going lately?"

"I've only been training in chakra scalpel techniques, and I've already mastered it. It suits me quite well, but I'm considering whether I should research medical ninjutsu later..."

Kurenai and Asuma spoke in hushed tones.

A ninja's date is just that boring and tedious.

Asma was about to answer when a breeze swept by, followed by a voice from behind.

"I feel I shouldn't bother you, but something very important has come up, so I'm sorry, could you two please stop and do me a small favor?"

Chiba stood at the back.

Asuma sighed softly, "What is it? You don't want me to help research ninjutsu, do you? I can do that later!"

He still harbored some resentment.

I finally found a chance to be alone with Hong, but then an uninvited guest showed up.

Kurenai coughed lightly and said, "Asuma, Chiba must have something very important to do."

"Senior Kurenai is more reasonable than someone else. To put it simply, Kakashi and I discovered two infiltrators, one of whom is suspected to be Itachi Uchiha, a rogue ninja from Konoha."

"what?"

Asuma instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

Uchiha Itachi!

This guy's back in the village?!

"Walk."

"No rush, let's wait until they leave the village and get outside before we make our move."

"Alright."

Chiba led Asuma and Kurenai out of the village, sharing some tips on how to deal with Sharingan along the way.

As a Jonin, Kurenai Yuhi is relatively weak in taijutsu and may not be able to attack without looking at her upper body.

but.

They can go and deal with Kisame.

Asma knew.

Chiba is not old, but his strength is probably much higher than his. If even Chiba can't deal with Itachi, then he would be just as useless.

After discussing it, the three of them headed towards the village entrance.

……

"Mr. Itachi, it seems that Konoha did not suffer much loss this time. I heard that the First Hokage and the Second Hokage helped a lot. Heh, Orochimaru."

Kisame couldn't help but laugh as he said this.

They hadn't gathered much information about Konoha, but they heard that Orochimaru had used a certain technique to summon the two Hokage and then suffered a backlash.

They didn't hesitate to offer their ridicule to their former colleagues.

Unfortunately.

Orochimaru wasn't around, otherwise the effect would have been even better.

"There are reasons why forbidden techniques are prohibited. Orochimaru underestimates others."

Itachi said calmly, "Let's go, it seems someone has noticed us."

"Should we resolve this?"

“We are not here to kill, but to capture our target. Making a rash move will attract more attention.”

Itachi adjusted his straw hat and turned to head out of the village.

however.

Upon reaching the riverbank outside the village, two figures caught up and charged out.

"You two, stop for a moment. What is your purpose in coming to Konoha at this time?"

Asma holds a flying swallow.

The opponent is a suspected S-rank rogue ninja, possibly Uchiha Itachi, whose strength is extraordinary; we absolutely cannot be careless.

Itachi looked up at him, then slowly took off his straw hat.

"It's really you!"

Asuma and Kurenai looked at another person with serious expressions.

Kurenai Yuhi vaguely remembered the other party's identity.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, former Hidden Mist Village ninja, S-rank rogue ninja."
