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

It's mainly because the Sound Village needs it.

As for Chiba himself, the numerous businesses in Konoha were already enough for him to spend.

After leaving the Sakuraba family, Chiba did not go to the Daimyo's residence to find Asuma, but instead quietly left the Daimyo's residence and headed north.

On the other side of Otogakure...

It's time to go and check it out, otherwise we won't know what's going on over there.

Also.

He needs to leverage the power of the Sound Village to try out some ideas, such as...

A combination of chakra armor, ninja tools, and sound ninjutsu.

Sealing technique.

There are also barrier techniques, and so on.

of course.

The most important things are the Cursed Seal and the Sage Body, as well as using the Sound Village as a springboard to gather the power of some of the Tailed Beasts—

Apart from the Eight-Tailed Fox, the rest should be easy to obtain.

Cursed Seal Konoha can also be created, but among the special Sage Bodies, Chiba currently only knows of Jugo.

Kabuto knew that Chiba was going to the Sound Village, and he also knew that Chiba might have some secrets he didn't want outsiders to know, so he sent his shadow clones to the Sound Village ahead of time.

Chiba headed north.

Nine-Tailed Fox caused a lot of trouble, but later it gradually stopped causing trouble.

because……

Whenever it tries to cause trouble, Chiba summons the Insect King to keep it company.

Instead of killing the Nine-Tails, they absorbed its chakra, leaving it in a half-dead state.

the most important is--

The guidance that Chiba had been using began to take effect, and its subconscious wariness and hostility towards Chiba were not as strong as they had been at the beginning.

but.

While it won't cause trouble, it's equally impossible to get help from the Nine-Tails' clones.

Fortunately, Chiba didn't expect it to be of any help.

Along the way, the friction between the man and the beast was not too intense. Even without traveling at full speed, it still took four days to travel from the Land of Fire to the Land of Fields.

The land of fields is not large.

This small country is located on the Gulf coast. Although it is small, it has a port, flat land, and is not lacking in resources.

He didn't plan to run it himself, but the good location was still something to be happy about.

At least I don't need to put in any effort.

Orochimaru probably thought the same thing.

"This place used to be more prosperous. Your human wars destroyed many precious things."

Nine-Tails suddenly spoke up.

Chiba paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "War has indeed destroyed many civilizations and traditions, but many ninjutsu were also created because of war and desire."

"That's why we Tailed Beasts rarely study ninjutsu."

Chapter 225 Nine-Tails: You want to capture the other tailed beasts? Okay!

2023-08-03

The biggest difference between Kurama and Shukaku is...

It has been severely beaten by many powerful figures.

From Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju to the Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki—

Although both of them died later, strictly speaking, it had little to do with the Nine-Tails; it was more due to the masked man.

Compared to Kurama's experiences, Shukaku's troubles were just a small appetizer.

"Speak of it."

Nine-Tails suddenly spoke again, looking at Chiba's head—

It perched on Chiba's shoulder, so only his head could be seen.

"With your current strength, there aren't many in the ninja world who can rival you, right?"

"maybe."

It secretly hoped that Konoha and Akatsuki would fight like dogs, preferably to the point of mutual destruction, with both sides nearly dead.

Chiba thought for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

The speaker was none other than his old friend, Tos.

Toss remained silent for a moment, weighed his options for a few seconds, and then made his choice.

Chiba waited where he was.

Chiba looked up, adjusted the straw hat on his head, and then a smile appeared on his face.

It all started with those eyes. If it weren't for Madara Uchiha, I would never have suffered in Konoha.

It's only a matter of time before it is "reformed".

Nine-Tailed Fox grinned and said sarcastically, "You need to report back to the village? How pathetic."

A flash of hatred crossed Nine-Tails' eyes.

It seems like Tos is doing quite well.

Several shurikens and kunai suddenly shot out from both sides.

Nine-Tailed Fox frowned: "What do you mean?"

visible……

Then, two figures appeared.

He nodded slightly: "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest, while I go to the village to report."

Aside from the Akatsuki, he wasn't really afraid of the others, but those people were the biggest villains and the most terrifying manipulators in the ninja world.

This kind of thing is not something a nobody like him should get involved in.

Seeing that it didn't say anything more, Chiba didn't pester it anymore.

Kurama sneered, "I get the same treatment wherever I am, so why should I risk my life for your Konoha?"

"Ah."

The current ninja world...

“If the Akatsuki only wants a Jinchūriki, then as you said, your treatment will be the same no matter where you are. But if what they need is chakra instead of a Tailed Beast, then the situation might be different.”

“I’ve come to find your leader. He will know who I am when he comes out.”

He walked along the land of fields, and after a while, when he passed through a grove of trees...

Chiba smiled slightly.

My two teammates already died badly enough last time.

but.

The Nine-Tails is in my hands.

"This is the territory of our Otogakure village. Please do not go any further, or we will attack you."

Kabuto had other ideas, but no one mentioned them due to his strength and prestige.

Those who proposed it are already dead.

"So what? Kid, I've lived a long time, I'm not a fool like Shukaku."

Nine-Tails fell silent.

Tosu's first thought was that Orochimaru was a friend, but after thinking about it, he realized that Orochimaru had been dead for a long time.

Chiba said, "In addition, there is at least one pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in their organization."

"Not always."

"Looking for our leader?"

He thought for a moment and said, "There's a group of people collecting the Tailed Beasts. You should know something about it since you're inside Naruto, right?"

Kabuto Yakushi kept saying he could be resurrected, but no one ever saw him actually try to do so. Instead, some of Orochimaru's habits were gradually being overturned.

"No, my first reaction was actually quite good. If it were before, they would probably have attacked me immediately if I were dressed like a ronin."

Chiba didn't care at all.

If Orochimaru were alive, probably no wandering ninja or samurai would have been able to leave the territory of Otogakure alive.

The current situation proves that Dou's transformation has been quite successful.

At least that's the surface.

A few moments later, several figures hurried over.

The one at the very front is Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto is currently just a shadow clone; he must have just arrived from the Land of Fire not long ago, and he still looks extremely tired.

Behind him was Tayuya.

At the very end is Tos.

This positioning clearly demonstrates a hierarchy.
