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

Sakuraba Teitaki's heart skipped a beat, and she keenly sensed that there was some opportunity within.

Chiba nodded: "I need you to take me inside. I need to see the Daimyo alone."

“No problem. Here, I have some flowers from the Yamanaka family. I was planning to have my men deliver them, but since you want to see the daimyo, Chiba-kun, I will take you to the palace.”

Sakuraba Sataki raised an eyebrow and then said, "However, you may need to disguise yourself."

"no problem."

Chiba nodded.

He doesn't know transformation techniques, but he's skilled at disguise. With the help of a chakra shield, basically no one can detect anything unusual about him.

"Let's go now, my men are all ready."

Sakuraba Sataki was decisive and swift.

With her help, Chiba changed into a subordinate's uniform and then followed their caravan into the daimyo's mansion.

Although I didn't see the daimyo immediately, but...

Soon, Sakuraba Sataki found an excuse to visit and was granted an audience with the daimyo, but now he would have to wait for a while.

"Are there Konoha ninjas here too?"

"Yes, our mission was issued by His Majesty the Daimyo, but I feel that His Majesty may have some potential, unseen dangers."

Chiba said in a low voice.

Sakuraba Sataki nodded thoughtfully.

She thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Your Excellency has been going to bed earlier than before recently. I wonder if there is any connection."

"It's okay, we'll wait a bit."

Chiba isn't in a hurry.

The publicly known team is Asuma's Team 10, while the hidden team is Team 1. However, the other side has no idea that there is another person watching them from the shadows.

Once you enter Daming Prefecture, all you need to do is wait quietly.

Chiba followed Sataki and toured a small area of ​​the Daimyo Prefecture. Sataki told him a lot about the recent events that had happened in the Daimyo Prefecture.

He gradually gained a new understanding of the recent changes in Kyoto.

Instead of targeting the "life ninjas" as the main culprit, the other party stated that "only life ninjas" were not suitable and hoped that the daimyo would persuade him to recruit more ninjas.

This garnered the support of many nobles.

The person behind this knows the powerful and noble families very well!

It can be basically confirmed that—

The other side is the radical faction that is protecting the remaining ninja.

As for the name...

It should be the radicals and horses that Asma mentioned!

The next moment, Chiba suddenly looked towards the northeast of Daimyo Prefecture.

"What direction is that?"

"What's going on with the Daimyo's guards at the back gate of the Daimyo's residence, right behind the Daimyo?"

"The other side has shown up."

Chiba smiled.

He finally got his wish after all; Kazuma's guardian ninja arrived.

"What should we do now?"

"Nothing much, you all go back as usual. I'll arrest him. The rest is a matter for us ninjas."

Chiba smiled.

Sakuraba Sataki opened her mouth, clearly hesitant.

Chiba looked at her.

"what happened?"

"Chiba-kun, may I learn ninja abilities? Or, may you grant me ninja powers? Anything is fine, as long as it can protect me!"

"what?"

Chiba was somewhat surprised, and then hesitated.

Sakuraba Sataki wants to learn ninjutsu...

Logically speaking, that shouldn't be possible.

but.

Having someone of your own in Kyoto would seem like a good option.

Chiba deliberated carefully.

"Give me some time to think it over carefully and see if there's a simpler method. If I come up with one, I'll come back to you."

"Thank you, Chiba-kun!"

Sakuraba Sataki bowed repeatedly, overwhelmed with excitement, and then ran off joyfully.

Chapter 216 Pig-Deer-Butterfly? Nothing to fear!

"Your Excellency, Lord Daimyo."

"Kazuma, the Konoha ninjas have indeed arrived, and they even sent Asuma. This should show that they have no other intentions, right?"

The daimyo leaned back in his seat. "I understand your loyalty, but the Land of Fire must cooperate with Konoha to remain strong. I hope you understand that."

"Your Excellency, although they have sent ninjas, they may not be loyal to you. Only the power you hold in your own hands is real!"

He argued with Ma.

The daimyo sighed and said, "The affairs of ninjas are not so simple. I am old and have no time to manage so many things, nor the ability to control a ninja village."

"Your Excellency..."

"Alright, if you're willing to stay, I'd welcome you to continue protecting me. If you don't want to stay, I won't force you. He Ma, let it go."

As he spoke, he waved wearily.

Four "no's".

That way you'll know where the other person went and what their ultimate goal is.

Chiba glanced at Kazuma's shadow clone, and then a small idea popped into his head.

Kazuma let out a scream.

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

"Long-winded!"

What a great speed.

but.

Memories flooded his mind.

"Kazuma, I've heard Asuma mention you before. You were the leader of the radical faction back then, advocating for the destruction of Konoha and concentrating all power in the hands of the daimyo."

"Ugh, ugh!"

Chiba channeled a surge of chakra, sealing his mouth shut, and then reached out, rapidly invading with his spiritual energy.

"Lord Daimyo, please think about it again..."

This group's plan is rather...

however.

I couldn't see the other person's movements at all!

Kazuma quickly formed hand seals, intending to destroy the shadow clone, but instantly, a steel cable wrapped around his entire body, chakra rapidly spread throughout his body, and sealing techniques emerged from his body.

"Are you a human or a ghost?! How could someone your age possibly..."

Chiba slowly entered from the side hall.

He wasn't worried about Konoha; he was more concerned about how to profit from this incident and, incidentally, deceive these guys.

Mental invasion, and then...

This is just a shadow clone.

The lord paused for a moment, and was about to speak when a voice rang out in the hall.

Do not erect soil.

"Haha, guess what."

follow closely.

This was Ma's later alias, and the names of his three companions also emerged one by one.

He carefully searched and extracted memories, and then completely extracted all of the other party's memories of his appearance in the main hall.

Sealing barrier.

Chiba had used a barrier technique to isolate the surrounding sounds, so his shouts couldn't get through at all.

Kazuma was startled. He turned around and saw who it was, and his expression changed drastically: "Didn't you leave?"

He was startled and realized what was happening beside him.

The third generation is still alive.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kazuma saw the other person vanish from the spot in an instant.

Chiba remembered.
