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

Kabuto looked at Chiba, but seeing that Chiba had no intention of making a move, he stopped.

Beads of cold sweat trickled down the little girl's forehead.

She quickly formed hand seals to make amends.

but.

With her current skill level, she is not yet able to use a high-level sealing technique like the "Four Symbols Seal".

At this moment——

Karin's painstakingly synthesized and gathered chakra suddenly erupted, and chains grew from her body, quickly binding the Nine-Tails' claws.

Diamond Chains!

With a roar, the Nine-Tails' entire tailed beast clone suffered from "PTSD" and struggled to rush towards Karin.

Karin's eyes were filled with despair.

Such a powerful tailed beast...

How could I possibly control myself!

She was thinking.

The next second, he sensed a terrifying and sacred chakra emerging from Chiba's body, and then punched the Nine-Tails.

In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Tails, which was expanding, quickly returned to its original size.

It glared at Chiba with resentment.

"You promised to set me free. Do you want to break your promise?"

"No hurries."

Chiba glanced at it and said, "You're always in such a hurry, which is why the First Hokage always thinks you're dangerous."

"I bother!"

Kurama was furious. "Who wouldn't be anxious when they saw his wooden fist? Besides, I was controlled by the Sharingan at that time and had no say in the matter. What does it have to do with me!"

"..."

Kabuto and Karin simultaneously wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

What the hell.

Is this thing a nine-tailed fox?

My heart was filled with turbulent waves.

He hadn't realized it was the Nine-Tails at all before, and thought it was a fox ninja beast that Chiba had found somewhere. But after it revealed its chakra aura, he realized that it was also a big shot.

Such a powerful tailed beast is actually following Chiba.

How did Chiba manage to get his hands on it by bypassing Konoha?

He was filled with doubts.

"Don't change the subject. You promised to set me free, so what do you mean now? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox clone roared angrily.

Chiba glanced at them coldly and said, "I'm just testing you. I can keep an eye on you, but if I catch the other tailed beasts, will I be too busy watching you all?"

"What do you mean... you want to capture other tailed beasts?"

Nine-Tailed Fox came to its senses.

This guy not only wants the Nine-Tails' clone and Shukaku's clone, he wants to have a clone of every tailed beast in his possession.

What a big appetite!

Aren't you afraid of pushing yourself to the limit?

and.

Even it knows that the tailed beasts now belong to various countries and are no longer wild, ownerless creatures like before. It's unlikely that other countries would agree to it obtaining a tailed beast clone.

Uh……

"No wonder you ran away!"

Kurama looked at Chiba, and its chakra also receded.

Knowing that it wasn't the one suffering the consequences, it immediately stopped resisting.

"How about it, are you interested?"

"Hey, I don't want to help you, but I really want to beat them up, especially that Eight-Tails guy. It must have had a tough time being locked up. I'm going to make him laugh at me!"

Nine-Tailed Fox said this.

but.

Its true thoughts are probably only known to itself.

Chiba smiled but didn't expose him.

Chapter 226 Hypnosis, Personality Replacement Technique

"Lord Chiba, do you intend to collect the Tailed Beasts?"

Kabuto, who was listening from the side, was quite excited and couldn't help but ask, "Would you like me to give you some of Lord Orochimaru's previous research?"

Which tailed beast did Orochimaru study?

Chiba couldn't quite remember.

Orochimaru has done a lot of strange research, and the tailed beasts may be among them, but it's unclear which tailed beast it is.

Kabuto lowered his head and said, "It's one of the horns of the Eight-Tailed Gyūki."

"puff."

Before Chiba could speak, Kurama burst out laughing.

It laughed loudly: "That weakling Niugui got his horns chopped off, it's hilarious!"

"..."

"It's okay, I'll go and meet her."

No matter how many tailed beast cells there are, it is still just a simple cell and cannot become a true tailed beast.

Dou bowed his head and agreed.

Orochimaru has a part of the Eight-Tails, which Chiba vaguely remembers.

"Yes!"

The Nine-Tails, having been reduced to half its chakra, has no right to mock the Gyūki—at least the Gyūki only lost a horn.

In the end, the invincible "strongest defense" had a fatal weakness.

Orochimaru's research mainly explores whether it is possible to artificially create tailed beast cells, allowing the tailed beast chakra and cells to proliferate into new tailed beasts through artificial means.

therefore.

If it feels it's in a better position, then let it be.

Although the clones are easy to deal with, they can be quite unpleasant when they cause trouble. It's only a little hard to calm them down...

but.

First it will definitely be the Seven-Tails, and then the Jinchūriki of the Five Great Nations.

"Lord Chiba, this is Lord Orochimaru's research data on the Ushioni Horn. Unfortunately, he passed away before he could produce any results..."

Going to Kumogakure should be the last thing we do.

Dou sighed, "So the information is incomplete and can only be provided to you for reference."

Chiba did not laugh at it.

Orochimaru was the culprit behind all of this.

but.

This is clearly unlikely.

but.

It seems the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki will participate in the Chunin Exams later.

I still need to visit Kumogakure.

Chiba looked at Kabuto.

Chiba took it and flipped through it.

Anyway, buddy, just don't deceive yourself.

Dou coughed lightly, his face slightly embarrassed. "She wasn't very obedient to me, and she even tried to kill me a few times, so I had no choice but to seal her away."

but.

After reading it, Chiba pondered for a moment and said, "Kabuto, have someone help me find out the whereabouts of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, and the Three-Tails."

Always felt.

Because the previous generation's Jinchuriki went berserk, it was Orochimaru's doing, and the Third Raikage had no choice but to step in and fight the Eight-Tails in close combat.

It has great reference value.

"prison."

But Chiba needs more than just the tailed beast's chakra; he also needs the consciousness unique to the tailed beast.

"Also, where is Honglian?"

If ranked by difficulty, the first target would definitely be either the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, or the Three-Tails. There are currently no issues regarding their ownership, so even if someone were to take action, there wouldn't be much of a dispute.

"As for Yatae, go and get the information. I'll take a quick look."
