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

Tsunade's return has greatly excited many clans; the opportunity has arrived!

and so.

No sooner had Tsunade left the medical team and gone to her temporary residence than several clan heads came to her door.

The Inuzuka and Aburame families were prominently listed.

Having gained some understanding of Konoha, Tsunade naturally wouldn't make promises lightly; she needed to balance the interests of the various clans.

Like the oil-loving women.

They made new breakthroughs in multiple fields such as medicine and the shadowy world, which naturally reduced the benefits that the guards could share.

Fortunately, Aburame Shiki's requirements were not high; she only hoped that some children could have the opportunity to join the guard team to hone their skills, and all the major families could accept such a condition.

In this way, by the end of the day, almost everything that needed to be discussed had been settled.

……

That evening, Kabuto went to the research institute to find Chiba and delivered information about various ninjutsu and secret techniques of the Sound Village, as well as Orochimaru's research.

While Chiba was watching, Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but say a few words.

"Lady Tsunade's rise to power is probably going more smoothly than expected, Lady Chiba. Will this affect your subsequent plans?"

"plan?"

Chiba glanced at it, then couldn't help but chuckle at himself, wondering what kind of plan he could possibly have.

He just takes it one step at a time and does some research along the way.

but.

Despite his outward appearance, he calmly said, "Don't worry, Tsunade and I have reached some consensus. As long as I don't conduct forbidden research, she will support me."

"I see."

He nodded, a vague guess forming in his mind—

Chiba's transformation of the Sound Village was probably not just for the village's power and ninjutsu, but also partly to avoid giving others leverage against him.

If Orochimaru's power is allowed to run rampant, it will definitely cause considerable trouble.

Modifying it is a merit in itself.

Even if the higher-ups find out about his identity and his dealings, Chiba won't be in any trouble, and he probably won't die either; at most, he'll be imprisoned.

Dou seemed to be deep in thought, then lowered his head and said, "It seems everything was as you predicted."

"For now, yes. Tsunade's return can only benefit us, not harm us. After all, Akatsuki's existence poses a great threat, and I need to unite all useful forces."

Chiba knew that Kabuto was probably thinking the wrong thing, but it didn't matter. He needed Kabuto to think more and use his brain more.

otherwise.

If he gets bored and decides to join the Akatsuki, he'll be in trouble.

Kabuto paused for a moment after hearing this, and said, "You're also interested in the Tailed Beasts?"

"The question should be, who isn't interested in the Tailed Beasts? I've heard that Tailed Beasts can be reborn after they die. If we can figure out this secret, immortality won't be a pipe dream."

Chiba smiled and said, "Who doesn't like immortality? But I believe that as long as we understand the essence of the tailed beasts, we can achieve immortality without having to be like Orochimaru, who is neither human nor ghost."

"Your wisdom has illuminated my path!"

Dou initially just flattered him, but after the flattery, he pondered it carefully...

If Orochimaru is still alive, he might exist in a similar state; it's just that the pattern of resurrection is unknown.

He thought about it for a few seconds, then quickly put it out of his mind.

If Orochimaru were to truly be resurrected, his and Chiba's plans would actually be affected.

Think about it this way.

"It would be better if Lord Orochimaru were dead, but have you thought about how to recruit Kimimaro? He is not afraid of death at all and would never accept threats."

"It's alright. As long as we have Orochimaru as bait, he'll definitely take the bait. He won't have a better option. As for what happens next, I have some other tricks up my sleeve."

Danzo's Kotoamatsukami could not be permanently controlled.

However, controlling and hypnotizing him in the short term is more than enough. Combined with the art of mind manipulation, it might even be possible to turn Kimimaro into one of their own.

At least we won't have to rely on sealing techniques every day like we do now.

of course.

Personality replacement also carries risks, so this is a last resort.

After Kabuto left, Chiba read through the information about the Sound Village. It was quite late when he finished, but he still couldn't fall asleep.

There's just too much data!

Even though he has amazing mental abilities and comprehension, he still can't remember a lot of things.

Ninjutsu is simple.

The difficult part is Orochimaru's data.

They were densely packed together, filling several books, and...

Thinking about the significance behind these data, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted. Most of them were records of the Reanimation Jutsu, including records of Orochimaru going to Ryuchi Cave.

After reading it, Chiba silently burned the data.

Chiba has memorized the parts that were helpful to him and can write them down whenever needed, but he no longer needs the rest.

He doesn't know how to practice the Reincarnation technique.

The same applies to the Impure World Reincarnation.

Chiba asked Kabuto to bring him this data, mainly hoping to learn Orochimaru's techniques for controlling them with talismans, but after reviewing it, he was basically certain—

Orochimaru's records were of little help to him.

The manipulation of Impure World Reincarnation is based on the special body created through Impure World Reincarnation, and it offers no help to normal people in controlling it.

However, it was Tayuya's "sound illusion" that caught Chiba's eye.

This technique is very effective!

Simple and practical.

It can be promoted, but it needs to be modified.

He spent the next day studying sound techniques. While illusion techniques were difficult to verify, ninjutsu like the Sky-Slicing Wave could be easily improved.

just.

Most of these types of ninjutsu require the assistance of ninja tools.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to focus on improving his ninja tools.

On the third day, Chiba completed the modification of the ninjutsu of the Sound Village and secretly handed it over to Kabuto Yakushi.

There aren't many improvements.

The main focus is on the design of ninja tools, and secondly...

Sound illusion.

"I will also spread this technique to some extent in Konoha, so after you take it back, let them improve it according to the principles, and don't make it the same as mine."

Chiba said.

"clear."

"Go."

Chiba nodded.

With Kabuto gone from the research institute, Chiba was finally able to take some time to rest.

I've been quite tired these past two or three days.

"I wonder how Tsunade's succession is going, and what the arrangements are for the guards. Also, Jiraiya absolutely cannot escape!"

Chiba pondered this in his heart.

He glanced at the time.

noon.

Great, let's go check out the Hokage Building.

……

Hokage Building.

Tsunade sat next to the Third Hokage, opposite Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, her forehead veins bulging.

"Tsunade, while your considerations are reasonable, implementing so many reforms right from the start might cause panic among the villagers."

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her room, earnestly advised her.

"Yes, Tsunade, stay calm..."

Just as Mitokado was about to offer some advice, a loud roar erupted from the office.

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"I've endured this for too long! Konoha has been trying to maintain stability for so many years, and what has been the result? Have you made Konoha a better place?"

"This, this isn't a matter of strategy!"

Mitokado was dumbfounded.

I just opened my mouth, how did I end up walking into the line of fire?

Tsunade sneered, "Stability? Stability means mediocrity. I don't approve of sweeping, comprehensive reforms, but some reasonable changes are indeed necessary."

"Release so many ninjutsu techniques and there is a risk of leaks. It is impossible for any village to avoid traitors. In addition, it is very difficult to implement with the cooperation of multiple departments such as the Anbu, the medical department, and the research department."

The third generation said from the side.

He wasn't against it; he just hoped Tsunade could figure out the pros and cons.

But Tsunade had already considered it.
