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

"Before today, there wasn't one, huh? Wait... maybe there is one now. That eagle is the tool we use to communicate with Lord Jiraiya."

All Ninja Hawks are trained by the Intelligence Department.

I recognize every single one of them.

"Go and have a look!"

Chiba immediately teleported to the village. If something happened to Jiraiya, he would have to consider asking Kabuto to put on a show or personally try to persuade him.

After all, he had only met the first and second generation.

"Perhaps we can take a two-pronged approach."

Chapter 192 Sasuke: Naruto is playing such fancy tricks?

"Tsunade is unwilling to return. Please ask Chiba to find a way, or come in person and persuade her in the name of the First and Second Hokage."

Jiraiya's letter was brief and direct.

In a sense, he and Chiba were thinking the same thing.

There was silence in the office.

After a second or two, everyone looked at Chiba.

"Chiba, what do you think? After all, you were the only one who spent the entire time with the First and Second Hokage."

The Third Hokage almost hinted at it.

Chiba thought for a moment and said, "The Second Hokage didn't say anything, but he said that Konoha is now suffering from a shortage of talent, and he was very saddened by it."

"..."

Everyone glanced at the third generation.

The three generations sighed inwardly.

I won't harm Konoha.

"Hokage-sama, I do have some ideas regarding Lady Tsunade, but I might need you to do something a little... well, I mean, use the Second Hokage's words to explain..."

The Third Hokage coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, "Retrieving one of the Legendary Sannin is considered an A-rank mission."

Chiba haggled over the price.

He was actually talking about the Sound Village, but there was no need to confront the Third Hokage about that.

"By the way, what about Kurenai and Yakumo?"

After leaving, Chiba used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send a message to Kabuto.

Chiba looked at them.

"Go ahead and do it. I believe in you."

The Three Generations of Righteousness.

"How about this, since you're going out to find Tsunade anyway, why don't you go on the mission?"

The teacher said those things, which shows that he was really disappointed in himself.

The third generation coughed lightly and said, "S-rank only provides mission data, no bonus."

"It's ok."

The Third Hokage couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. Right now, they were short of people, otherwise he wouldn't have promoted Kurenai Yuhi from Special Jonin to Jonin.

"Row!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly, signaling them to leave.

Cough!

"Yakumo's mental state is not good, and she is very dependent on Kurenai-senpai. It's probably not feasible to take Kurenai-senpai away from her."

His understanding of Chiba was gradually built up over time, so even when Jiraiya said those words initially, the Third Hokage remained steadfast.

With Jiraiya there, the Third Hokage thought he was at most an A-rank, and even giving him an "A-rank" mission was considered helping Chiba boost his stats, but this kid still went too far!

"Well, my two advisors, Senior Shikaku and Senior Inoichi, why don't you step out for a moment? I need to speak with the Third Hokage alone."

The Third Hokage sighed softly, "It's a fact that the village management hasn't been very effective, but as long as you can persuade Tsunade to come back... I don't care."

If no bonus is given...

The general idea is...

After a moment of contemplation, Chiba said, "Also, Hokage-sama, I may need to use some special methods. I hope you will allow it."

The group left.

"This involves state secrets; it should be classified as S-level!"

Chiba replied.

Now even Hong can't extricate herself...

And that's a fact.

He firmly believes this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed awkwardly and said, "This..."

but.

The two completed the transaction.

Chiba is a genius with his own Will of Fire, and it's impossible for him to go astray like Orochimaru.

Anyway...

Chiba sat opposite the Third Generation.

Chiba nodded.

This task is related to the appointment of the Hokage; it can be either A-rank or S-rank, depending on how it is defined.

Let him bring a few heinous, stubborn old-fashioned guys to their deaths!

Although Orochimaru was not present and could not pose a fatal threat, the key point was to make Tsunade understand her own feelings, rather than to intimidate her with strength.

After informing Kabuto, Chiba went home.

He plans to write detailed instruction manuals for several "Mindset Transformation" series so that mountain dwellers can master them as soon as possible and gain feedback and reinforcement for themselves.

The technique of reversing the mind and body is not a big problem.

The techniques for disturbing the mind and spirit are much more difficult to master, even with some modifications.

As for mental attack techniques and mental defense techniques.

This might be difficult.

What Chiba needs to do is create a lower-level alternative—

It's not that difficult.

During the few minutes of waiting, he had already improved his mental attack technique into "Mental Interference," which he then transformed into "Illusion Resistance."

It has relatively simple functions, but its advantage lies in its simplicity.

However "simple", it should still be around level B difficulty.

Chiba sent the ninjutsu notes using the Flying Thunder God technique.

"It seems like there's a time difference... Oh, I'm a little late."

He glanced at the time.

After thinking for a moment, I passed by a sushi restaurant and decided to pack a few servings of sushi to go.

We weren't together every day, so I had to prepare my own food.

otherwise.

Let's bring Tiantian along!

"Forget it, it would be a bit strange to bring Tenten without Kazusa, so let's just not bring either of them."

This is a real mission, not a vacation.

Register and depart.

After walking a few steps, Chiba saw a dejected boy, looking like a defeated dog, his clothes disheveled. If she hadn't guessed what had happened…

He was starting to suspect that something else had happened to Sasuke.

"Did you run into Itachi?"

"..."

Sasuke looked up and saw Chiba suddenly appear at the end of the road. He couldn't help but shudder, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

This expression.

It's like being caught doing something wrong by your parents.

Sasuke opened his mouth, then nodded without saying anything.

Chiba waved.

Sasuke obediently followed.

"what's the result?"

“The gap is huge. My Chidori was caught by his hand and I couldn’t attack him at all. Moreover, his genjutsu and Sharingan are much stronger than mine.”

Sasuke answered honestly.

Although Chiba was only a year older than him, Sasuke felt like he was a teacher or elder, making it impossible for him to resist.

and.

He had heard that Chiba had defeated Uchiha Itachi at the village entrance—
