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

Tian Tian chuckled as he spoke.

Chiba laughed and said, "So, when I get back to the village, there might be a brand new chakra blade waiting for me?"

"It's definitely different from the white fox."

He said every day.

Chiba already has a long sword, so she plans to forge him a short sword for defense and close-quarters combat using dual swords.

We chatted all the way back.

Back at their temporary accommodation, everyone started tidying up their rooms and getting ready to go to sleep.

Chiba and Tenten quickly separated to tidy up.

After a good night's sleep, they prepared to set off.

at this time.

Chiba received an intelligence scroll from Konoha—

This is intelligence delivered using the Flying Thunder Formation technique.

Konoha is safe. Of the five enemies, three have been captured. Two are currently imprisoned in the Anbu, and the other is being held in the Forest of Death.

Upon hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Kazuma is indeed crazy.

Just as Chiba had said, he secretly collected the Nine-Tails' chakra and created a fake Jinchuriki.

If it hadn't been discovered in time...

A thought flashed through the minds of all three of them at the same time.

Thank goodness for Chiba!

Without Chiba uncovering Kazuma's memories, Konoha might have suffered heavy losses even if it hadn't been destroyed.

"Let's go."

It's not far from Konoha, only three or four hours away. If we set off in the morning and travel straight, we can return to Konoha's Death Forest by noon.

To the Forest of Death.

Chiba met "Sora," a boy who grew up in the Fire Temple and lived a life of deception.

"You are Kong?"

"Who are you? How do you know my name?!"

Looking back towards where we came from.

There were four people. The one speaking wasn't the Jonin, but a very young boy wearing a ninja vest, about the same age as him.

"Yagyu Chiba, I know some information about you. I wonder if you're interested?"

"what?"

"Do you know your background? I think Kazuma should tell you that you are the son of his old friend, and your parents died at the hands of Asuma and Konoha, so he wants you to destroy Konoha, right?"

"how do you know!"

A look of horror flashed across Kong's face.

This intelligence...

Even though the people of Konoha didn't know everything, the person in front of them knew it all.

Do you know who your father is?

"I……"

“You probably don’t know, because Kazuma never told you, but actually, your father is Kazuma, and he deceived and took advantage of you.”

"what?"

Kong was struck dumb, frozen in place for a long time without saying a word.

His father was Kazuma?

How can it be!

That Nine-Tails chakra...

"He also sealed the tailed beast chakra inside."

Chiba then looked at his right arm. "Do you want to get rid of the Nine-Tails' chakra? I can help you break free."

"Me? Of course I want to!"

Empty answered instinctively.

He never dreamed of it.

He was fed up with being treated like a monster every day.

But then.

The thought that it was his own father who had sealed it within him filled him with a touch of sorrow.

Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, he felt that Chiba wasn't lying to him.

Kazuma is very likely his father.

I finally got through it. The rest of the story is about what happens after the protagonist leaves Konoha.

Chapter 219 Reorganization, All-Female Ninja Team

"If you want to break free of your restraints, you'd better stay here obediently. The Death Forest is extremely dangerous; any creature here can take your life."

Chiba said calmly, "If you behave yourself, I can let you meet your father."

"Are you telling the truth?"

Kong was clearly somewhat skeptical.

After all, the person in front of him wasn't much older than him and didn't look like a high-ranking official.

Chiba smiled.

Before he could speak, Yamato spoke first: "He has the right to say that."

"it is good."

He sat back down on the ground and obediently stayed under the tree, saying, "I will behave myself."

This prevented the shadow clone from dispelling.

Tenten and Kazusa couldn't help but want to laugh, but considering Yamato's feelings at that moment, they forced themselves to suppress their laughter and stood there seriously.

Once they were out of the heart of the Death Forest, Tian Tian looked back and couldn't help but complain, "This forest is getting more and more dangerous; you can find anything here."

Then another little Shukaku appeared.

Tsunade was having a meeting with the Anbu members at the moment, so Chiba didn't go in. Instead, he sat on the edge of the rooftop railing, watching Konoha.

We arrived at the Hokage Building.

Chiba said.

Yamato raised his hand.

Yamato sighed softly, then looked at Chiba and couldn't help but sigh softly as well.

Kazuma was naturally unaware that he had been completely exposed.

"I'll go find Lady Tsunade first, you all..."

Kakashi came up from below.

"Let's go."

but.

Until now...

Second.

"While you're at it, please give me a report. I still need to cultivate, and I'll also check out the research department."

Chiba nodded, then vanished in an instant.

It doesn't matter. Yamato's abilities are reliable, so I don't need to worry too much.

in this way……

I heard that the toad clan from Mount Myoboku often comes here.

Kazuma never imagined that someone could extract most of his memories from his shadow clones and even bypass his shadow clones' warning mechanism to delete a portion of his memories.

Even if an accident occurs, there are guards on the side, so it will not pose a great threat to Konoha Village.

Chiba's lips twitched.

This is much more reliable than the Dark Division.

There is another Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Although it is a replica, it is still quite terrifying and far beyond their ability to defeat.

Nod gently every day.

the most important is--

of course.

Yamato is completely backing down now, he doesn't care about his captaincy at all, and he's starting to think of himself as the real captain.

He didn't participate in the meeting, but instead chatted with two advisors in another room downstairs. When he noticed Chiba's return, he quickly made an excuse to slip away.

Why aren't you going down?

That's fine, though the transformed parasitic insects are dangerous, at least they understand human intentions and won't attack humans.

"This place will only become more and more dangerous from now on."
