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

"why?"

"Uh, I don't know either. It just feels like their chakra has reached its limit. If we eat more of them, something bad will happen."

After Karin answered, she pondered for a few seconds and then said, "You can take it as the answer that my perception and intuition tell me."

"intuition?"

Jugo remained silent for a few seconds.

It doesn't seem that reliable.

He looked at the insect in his hand and asked, "What do we do next?"

"I don't know, uh, how about you try absorbing the chakra back?"

"let me try."

Jugo tried it, but quickly shook his head.

No.

His chakra, inside the parasitic insect, had completely transformed into something else, and the parasitic insect had stored it somewhere unknown, making it impossible to retrieve.

"Let's lock him up for now and talk about it when Lord Chiba returns."

……

As night fell, Chiba returned to Otogakure.

Hidan continued to ramble on, but he had become so weak that he could barely speak and was basically half-dead.

All that's left of his head is his mouth, which is still hard.

Nine-Tails perched on Chiba's shoulder, looking at Hidan with pity.

As it turns out, the most terrifying thing is not death, but being unable to die even if you want to. In Hidan's case, the subsequent research was basically endless.

even.

Because of his immortality, he might be dragged by Chiba, that devil, to do all sorts of experiments.

pitiful!

but.

It didn't want to save him; instead, it wanted to loudly mock Hidan.

Catch yourself?

That's it?

"If this is all the Akatsuki has to offer, they don't seem that impressive. I could take them down in no time."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Chiba was too lazy to argue with Kujira.

The Nine-Tails has a very long lifespan and seems to crave constant arguments, especially with its clone consciousness, which thrives on debates.

Moreover.

For creatures like tailed beasts, you have to be gentle with them while ensuring your own benefit.

Especially the Nine-Tailed Fox.

These are the insights I gained from my interactions with Chiba.

"What...Sir, you're back!"

When Tos led the patrol and discovered that it was Chiba, he immediately lowered his head and hushed his voice.

His teammates looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't recognize him at all, but he looked like some important person.

Chiba seemed to be deep in thought.

This is the second time.

The first time, I didn't hide at all and swaggered down the main road, so it wasn't surprising that I was discovered.

But this time...

He hadn't taken the main road at all, and had been concealing his presence with a chakra shield the whole way, but he was still discovered by Tos.

This kid's got something!

"The technique you developed based on the ideas I gave you?"

"Yes, sir. You mentioned in the book that we could consider using sound wave frequencies that are difficult for ordinary people to detect. I've been researching this for a while and have made some small progress."

"Toss said, bending down."

In the materials given to Kabuto before, Chiba mentioned the concept of "ultrasonic detection" and wrote that if ultrasonic waves were not feasible, sound feedback could be used to detect enemy movements.

The latter is considered a lower-spec version.

Surprisingly, Tos actually made a name for himself in his research.

Chiba was a little surprised and said with great interest, "I didn't hear any sound just now, so you used the first method? Well, you are good at controlling sound waves."

"Yes, but you mentioned research and popularization, the latter of which I am still struggling with."

As he spoke, Tos gestured to the other three to "continue patrolling," and then accompanied Chiba toward Otogakure.

"Because others are not familiar with sound waves and cannot distinguish between them?"

"Yes!"

Toss became increasingly respectful.

Chiba had no idea how he accomplished it, yet he could guess the reason, which shows how deep the other party's understanding of ninjutsu was.

Come to think of it...

How could a genius who can come up with so many ninjutsu ideas just by imagining them be like me?

Toss lowered his head.

"This will require the use of ninja tools. Very good. Write a report and I will take care of the ninja tool issue. Also, I have other uses for this technique. Feel free to make any requests you may have."

Chiba smiled and pushed his straw hat up. "Including studying in Konoha."

"this?"

Tos looked at Chiba in shock and asked incredulously, "Really? Konoha... I'm afraid they won't agree, will they?"

"You can come to my research department for an exchange program as an exchange student. If you're interested, I can allow you to participate."

"Of course, of course I'd love to!"

Tos was filled with mixed feelings of surprise and delight.

The idea for this technique originated with Chiba, and judging from Chiba's words, he knew exactly how to implement it, but he was just too lazy to spend the time researching it.

I am the one who benefits.

Now that there are additional benefits, there's no reason for him not to agree.

"I'll have someone take care of this. I'll let you know through Karin. Just wait for the news. I'll also send you the results of the ninja tool project later."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Chiba!"

Toss was extremely respectful.

"It's nothing, okay, you continue your patrol, I'll go check on my results first."

We still don't know what's wrong with Hidan's body.

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Hidan's body was a small experiment by Chiba.

He can now use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport inanimate objects or small objects, but he has never tried it with large living things and has no idea what he will encounter after teleporting.

but.

Hidan isn't afraid; even if his body is shattered, it can still be used as long as it can be pieced back together.

In case of an accident...

So what if they're dead? They were enemies anyway, so there's no point in talking about friendship.

The greatest threat is that such a follower of evil gods is alive. Once he is no longer of research value, Chiba will definitely place him in the Forest of Death so that he can rest in peace.

I'm sure the insects will love this gift.

Chapter 232 Jugo, Trying to Control It

"Lady Honglian..."

"You guys go to sleep. I'll be fine here. Besides, the adults don't like too many people around when they come back."

Honglian waved to signal the others to leave.

She knew Chiba's background.

Although Chiba may have had his own reasons for not going into hiding, as a subordinate, she had to take Chiba's identity into account.

Furthermore.

Hidan is just a corpse...

There seems to be no need for guards; if someone were to come and intercept them, it would be useless to have more people if they couldn't defeat them.

Crimson Lotus quietly refined chakra on the side.

Hidan stared blankly at Chiba, then shouted, "You dare treat the followers of Jashin like this? You'll definitely be punished by the Jashin Cult!"

"Bring one over here."

Enemy?

"Damn it, let me go and let me back into my body!"

She hadn't noticed before, but Chiba was holding a head in his other hand, and this head could talk.
