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

If Itachi hadn't possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan...

"It's good to recognize the gap; then we just need to work twice as hard to catch up."

Chiba offered no comfort.

This kid doesn't need comforting. Aside from intermittent bursts of ego, Sasuke's temperament is still pretty good at this point in time. It's just that as an avenger, he's more eager to pursue power.

Chiba didn't tell him that Itachi might have bloodstain disease.

After walking for a while, he stopped.

"I remember you were quite good at physical combat?"

"Uh."

Sasuke wanted to say "not bad," but considering the man's record, he didn't dare to utter such boastful words.

In the end, it was changed to another word.

"generally."

"You're doing alright among your peers, so I'll teach you a technique as extra tutoring. Use your Sharingan to see it."

"Yes!"

Sasuke's expression was solemn.

This technique must be amazing!

He activated his Sharingan, and then saw Chiba's chakra flowing rapidly, quickly spreading throughout his body.

Then, Sasuke's eyes widened even more instantly.

Chakra spread throughout his body, especially his head, which seemed to be covered with a special spiritual energy.

What a strange technique.

"As you know, I was once hit by Itachi's technique. His eyes must be special, and he is skilled in genjutsu. If you want to deal with him, you must first learn to resist genjutsu."

Chiba said.

Sasuke pondered for a moment and asked, "Can this technique resist genjutsu?"

"It can't completely block it, but you'll feel it when you're hit by the spell. Of course, some weak spells won't be a problem."

"Thank you."

Sasuke bowed deeply.

This technique is very important!

Even just knowing in advance that you've been affected is already very helpful.

"Will it exceed the limit?"

"will not."

Sasuke shook his head.

"it's actually really easy……"

Chiba began his explanation.

Sasuke listened attentively, and after a while, he began to try it out. He then said, "Senior, I've heard that your research institute values ​​exchanging knowledge for knowledge?"

"Ah."

Chiba nodded.

"I learned your ninjutsu, so I have to pay you back with some knowledge or ninjutsu, right?"

Sasuke pondered for a moment and said, "Konoha already has the Great Fireball Technique, so you probably don't need it that much. I have the Great Dragon Fire Technique."

"In addition, I have a couple of fire-style technique notes from my family for you."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then added another chip.

"Let's hand it over to the research institute when we get back to the village. As for the Fire Release notes, I'm not that interested. If you're interested, you can look for Shisui's Body Flicker and Sword Technique notes."

Chiba thought for a moment and then mentioned the goal that interested him most.

Sasuke definitely wouldn't know about things like Izanami, so asking would be pointless and might even provoke the other party's resentment and vigilance.

It would be better to get some of Zhi Shui's notes.

"If you can find Shisui's Body Flicker Notes, I will give you an extra reward. Of course, if you find anything else, I will teach you new techniques as well."

Sasuke nodded after hearing this, not too surprised.

In that era, Shisui's Body Flicker Technique was so famous that it deterred the ninjas of Kirigakure from crossing the eastern coast.

His notes are indeed very valuable.

Seeing that he showed no emotional resistance, Chiba had an idea and added, "If you find any other notes, I can teach you some new techniques, depending on the situation."

"it is good."

Sasuke nodded, then looked ahead. "Chiba-senpai, where are we going?"

"To reunite with Naruto and the others, and persuade a senior who is not easy to get along with."

Chiba said calmly.

According to Jiraiya's information, Tsunade is currently gambling in Tanabata Street.

Tanzaku-gai is not far from Shukuba-cho.

They walked along the street, but not very fast—

If they ran at full speed, they could arrive in a little over an hour, but Chiba took almost half a day to bring Sasuke to Tanabata Street.

Tanabata Street has many gambling dens, as well as izakayas (Japanese pubs) and restaurants from various countries.

You can see things from all over the world here, and even all kinds of gamblers. Some become rich overnight, while others become homeless overnight.

Sasuke looked around, searching and observing where Naruto might be, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find their location at all.

"What are you looking at on the street? Trying to go into these places?"

Chiba sneered, "Sorry, that might not work, because I'm not an adult either."

"I would never be interested in a place like that!"

Sasuke's face turned red.

"It doesn't seem like much. We can get in by changing the method. Come on, cast a transformation spell on me."

? ?

Sasuke looked stunned, but he still did as he was told, entered the alley and used a transformation jutsu on Chiba, then transformed into an adult himself.

Immediately afterwards, Chiba led him to a shop.

This is……

for real?

His breathing was a little rapid.

"I...we shouldn't...this isn't really appropriate!"

"You won't find Naruto if you don't go here."

"???"

Naruto is using such fancy tricks?

This is a bit of a shock to Sasuke's worldview. He always thought Naruto was a decent person, but he never expected him to be in a place like this.

If Naruto can do it, so can I!

Sasuke mustered his courage, and then...

Chiba turned at the door and went into the next room. After entering, he heard shouts and cheers from all around, and Sasuke suddenly realized what was going on.

You mean the casino?

"What do you think it is?"

"I……"

The casino was very noisy.

Countless sounds echoed in his ears, which was torture for someone with Chiba's keen hearing and perception, but fortunately he quickly found a solution.

By plugging my ears with chakra and lowering the mental energy I use for perception, everything became much clearer.

"Is this a gambling den? Is Naruto gambling?"

Sasuke frowned.

This doesn't seem like something Naruto would do; it's more like the work of that Toad Sage...

Is that Jiraiya really reliable?

He couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Then, Chiba led him through the crowd, and soon he saw Naruto's familiar clothes.

This guy is playing games and having a blast around the table.

"Grandma Tsunade, I won again! Look, I won again!"

"Kid, I can see!"

A woman's voice sounded.

Chiba and Sasuke could sense that terrifying anger and killing intent even without getting close.

They went closer and saw that Naruto had a lot of chips laid out in front of him.

"You lecherous immortal, hurry and help me carry these, I can't carry any more!"

"..."

Tsunade looked at her empty desk, her face darkening instantly. She picked up the clothes embroidered with the word "gamble" and angrily turned to leave.

So annoying!
