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

Chiba bowed apologetically and then followed him inside.

"Guest, this is a very important statue in our temple."

Chiba is different from the other two.

However, the essence remains the same despite all the variations.

It's definitely not the same as the sealing techniques used in Konoha.

Every day, she would come over and say, "They've all gone inside already."

"It's nothing, I just feel that these two stone statues are extraordinary."

The sealing barrier is not fully activated yet and does not prevent them from entering, but traces of the barrier and sealing techniques can still be seen from the stone statues and the gate.

Chiba thought to himself.

The temple was not much different from the one in the anime. The neat and orderly buildings exuded a sense of solemnity and grandeur. Monks stood guard around the temple, and women in gorgeous clothes walked gracefully into the main hall.

Is that the land?

A figure could be faintly seen inside the hall.

Her makeup was very heavy.

However, even with such glamorous makeup, she still couldn't hide her naturally excellent features and beautiful face.

She must be a beauty.

Tenten, Tsukiko, and Sa stood guard at the entrance, not going inside. Kakashi, on the other hand, put away his book and idly wandered around the temple. When he saw Chiba looking around, he quietly walked over.

"What are you looking at?"

"A technique, the sealing technique of the Fire Temple, hmm, how should I put it?"

Chiba's story is too complex to explain in a few words.

Kakashi looked around, then said in a low voice, "What's wrong? It's a pretty good technique, but judging from your expression, you don't seem to like it?"

"The spell is too obvious, and the weakness is outside the barrier. The statue itself is not specially protected and can be easily destroyed. It feels full of loopholes."

Chiba muttered a complaint under his breath.

Kakashi remained silent for a moment.

The barrier like that of the Fire Temple is already considered very sophisticated; at least, unless he specifically looked at it, he wouldn't be able to see any traces of the spell. But in Chiba's words, it was full of loopholes...

Is it possible that it's not that their techniques are terrible, but rather that your skill level is too high?

of course.

He would never bring up such a humiliating issue.

He simply patted Chiba on the shoulder silently and then made a shushing gesture.

Chiba nodded gently.

After a long while, a figure walked out.

"I never expected that a C-rank escort would be personally escorted by the legendary Copy Ninja."

A burly monk emerged, a silk scarf with the character "fire" wrapped around his waist.

Chiba immediately knew the other party's identity—

The Land of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas!

"As for leading a team, it would be good enough to get a C-level team."

Kakashi's mask moved slightly, as if he were smiling.

"Amazing! How is Asuma?"

"He's alright, just a bit busy. He's had a lot of tasks lately and hasn't had much rest."

Kakashi said with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Jiroku turned his gaze to Chiba, looked him up and down, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "I wonder which family's genius you are, that you have the honor of becoming Kakashi's disciple."

"Greetings, Master Jiraiya. My name is Yagyu Chiba."

Chiba bowed slightly.

"Yagyu Chiba..."

Jiro thought about it carefully and couldn't think of any "Yagyu" clan in Konoha. There was a samurai family in the Land of Iron, but it probably had nothing to do with Chiba.

and so.

Is he a civilian?

For an ordinary person to be able to get Kakashi to become his teacher, he must be a genius among geniuses.

The Way of Earth and Land.

"Please come inside, everyone. I will come to greet you after I finish talking with Miss Zhenlong."

Di Lu put his hands together in prayer position.

Then, he ordered someone to take Chiba and the other three to a side hall to rest before returning to the main hall.

Chiba sensed it.

Sakuraba Sataki should be offering incense right now and doesn't need to be by their side for a while, so Jiriku took some time out to receive them, after all...

Regardless, Kakashi is a renowned Jonin in the ninja world.

They went to a side hall, sat for a while, and some monks served them vegetarian food.

Kakashi showed no politeness whatsoever.

Chiba and the others also started eating.

It's free, so it would be a waste not to take it.

After they finished eating, Di Lu came from outside the palace.

"Is the food to your liking?"

"It's delicious, thank you, Master."

Kakashi nodded.

Di Lu smiled and sat down to the side, saying, "I was inside earlier and overheard this benefactor mentioning that there's a problem with the sealing barrier of our temple. Could you please elaborate?"

"Actually, it's not a big problem. The main issue is that the weakness of your barrier lies outside. If the other side doesn't know this, it's fine, but if they do, they can destroy the entire barrier simply by destroying the statue."

Chiba said.

Kakuzu and Hidan directly destroyed the stone statue, which in turn broke the iron seal.

Then he added, "If you know sealing and barrier techniques, it's even simpler. You just need to destroy the hidden spell inside; you don't even need to destroy the entire statue."

"This……"

Di Lu pondered for a long time.

He had considered this issue before, but the Fire Temple was powerful, and he was confident he could kill any enemies that came, so he didn't take it too seriously.

He quickly thought of another problem.

"Your seals and barriers are highly skilled?"

Di Lu was somewhat surprised.

"After reading the book for half a month, I understand it to a certain extent."

"..."

Jiraiya was a little unsure and couldn't help but look at Kakashi and the other two girls.

The two girls weren't surprised at all.

Either the boy truly possesses such abilities, or they know he's lying, but...

Is that necessary?

Konoha and the Fire Temple are not enemies, so this boy has no reason to lie to me.

However, both of these require a very high level of knowledge, and even most Jonin rarely master them. Although he knows some of them, he simply cannot find the jutsu formula from the external traces.

The only explanation—

The other party truly understands sealing techniques, and it's definitely not just a "slight understanding"; their skill level is likely above mine.

Chapter 34 Sealing Array (Off-hand Version)

"Chiba has a strong learning ability and does know some sealing techniques."

Kakashi spoke.

However, he didn't say exactly how talented Chiba was, since Chiba's current achievements were quite outrageous, and it would take a long time to explain, and even then, no one might believe it.

Seeing is believing.

"Then... in your opinion, how should we modify our barrier spell?"

Di Lu asked.

Chiba thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about your barrier techniques, so I can't give any good advice. If I had to suggest something, it would be better to nest a smaller one inside the stone statue, and it would be best to bury the spell underneath so that no one can see it."

"Nested one layer?"

Jiraiya knew about the Iron Wall Sealing Technique, so after listening, he began to consider the feasibility of Chiba's plan.

It's really okay.

Why does something so difficult become so simple in the other person's words?

He couldn't understand.

"I've only been learning some theoretical knowledge lately, and I haven't created any specific sealing techniques yet. Hmm, how about this, I'll revise one now."

Di Lu explained his difficulties.
