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

In Konoha, most elemental ninjutsu are already very common, and even for those that are not available, there are many well-developed alternatives.

The Insect King knew nothing of this and simply gave a random reply.

"What's the point?"

really.

It's commendable.

The balsam fire is only at the level of a tickle; if it is weakened further, wouldn't it be completely ineffective and cause no pain or itch?

Chiba glanced at it and knew it was thinking from the perspective of a tailed beast.

It doesn't remember what kind of technique it was, only that it was hit by that technique on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

It imagined it.

"Ninja tools".

Fire sand, oil-based water, and other substances can all be used with it.

With liquid and sand as counterweights, the fireball's speed can be increased significantly, making it less likely that there will be fire without any damage.

Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to be deep in thought.

Then it understood.

"Is this a low-level version?"

"Yes, because the more advanced version requires not only mastering Fire Release, but also another ninjutsu for extracting oil. It's difficult for ordinary people to use two nature transformations at the same time."

This is at the level of Jonin difficulty.

even.

Many Jonin who are not skilled in ninjutsu may not be able to use two nature transformations at the same time.

The Nine-Tails does not understand human ninjutsu.

but.

After comparing the two, it gradually understood what Chiba meant.

It's like the Tailed Beast Ball flies slowly, so he shrinks the Tailed Beast Ball, adds weight to it, and then uses the force of "blowing" to spit it out.

Not powerful enough?

As long as it hits, even a small amount of power is an effective output.

If you can't hit it, even the strongest ninjutsu is useless.

Kurama couldn't help but admire Chiba's ingenious ideas, and began to think about how to modify the Tailed Beast Ball.

Following this line of thought...

Add a mouthful of phlegm?

Pooh!

Where do tailed beasts get their phlegm?

and.

Creatures made of ordinary chakra simply cannot withstand the power of the Tailed Beast Ball.

Thinking of this, Kurama couldn't help but look at Chiba.

That kind of Sage Chakra seems to work.

The reason why the attack that killed Hidan was so fast that the enemy couldn't react was partly due to Chiba's strong taijutsu and speed, but also because he activated Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Mode at the same time.

A technique using Sage Chakra combined with a Tailed Beast Ball.

It seems feasible.

Nine-Tails looked at Chiba, opened its mouth, and then tilted its head to look outside.

I am a peace-loving tailed beast!

……

For the rest of the day, Chiba kept thinking about how to improve his ninjutsu.

He was actually aware of some of the subtle fluctuations in the Nine-Tails' clones.

but.

Nine-Tails didn't say anything, and he didn't mention it either.

The human and the beast maintained a remarkable level of understanding.

Fireball Technique, Oil Technique.

These are two techniques that Chiba recently improved, and he also wrote down the super strength slash he used in Sage Mode on a scroll.

As for the name.

They directly used the term "岚脚" (Lan Jiao).

Simple and easy to remember.

After finishing writing, he left a copy in the Sound Village, and then had the Insect King summon him and the Nine-Tails through the Reverse Summoning Array.

……

Hokage Building.

Tsunade, the Third Hokage, and the other two advisors were all sitting in the office, looking at each other in silence as they stared at a piece of information.

A long time passed.

The third generation spoke up, "Can you find out where Chiba is?"

"No, this kid has developed a habit of walking with a chakra shield active. Unless he chooses to, ordinary ninjas have no chance of finding him."

This is the most troublesome part.

If they can be found easily, they can bring Chiba back now and ask her what happened. This way, they can make contingency plans and preparations in advance.

Not like now...

“I had Genma and the others deliver a letter to him. He must have received it by now. Whether he explains it or not depends on Chiba’s own thoughts.”

Tsunade sighed.

The Third Hokage chuckled and said, "That's how it is outside. You and Jiraiya have caused quite a bit of trouble for the village outside."

"Ahem... We're talking about Chiba today, so I won't discuss mine for now."

Tsunade coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed.

Being harassed by creditors in Konoha was indeed quite embarrassing, but fortunately she had some savings in Konoha, and with the Third Hokage providing some, the problem was temporarily resolved.

Tsunade now owes the Third Hokage money.

Because of this relationship, plus the title of master and disciple, Tsunade couldn't be too assertive.

Otherwise, I would have slammed my fist on the table long ago.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said, "Chiba is always steady. He hasn't sent a message back, so he should be considering returning to Konoha to explain in person soon."

"I think so too!"

Tsunade looked at her teacher and, unusually, agreed with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Even if he comes back to explain, the attack on the Jinchuriki is probably true, we..."

"Wrong! It's fake news. That was done by Akatsuki. It has nothing to do with Konoha. The Tailed Beasts that have leaked out of the village are the ones that were previously lost."

Tsunade said without changing her expression.

The three generations nodded with smiles.

Whether it's true or not, Konoha definitely can't admit it.

He was about to say something more...

A figure appeared outside the window.

The three generations silently rose.

"Uh, is everyone here? Meeting? Should I come back later?"

"Come in!"

When Tsunade saw Chiba, she immediately raised an eyebrow, opened the window, and pulled Chiba inside.

Upon seeing the little fox on Chiba's shoulder, the other three's eyelids twitched.

Nine tails!

Good guy!

It's still the version without sealing techniques.

Although it was just a clone, it was no small matter. Judging from its aura alone, it possessed at least one or two tenths of the original Nine-Tails' chakra.

If it goes berserk, it could destroy the Hokage Building.

The third generation quickly took a deep breath to suppress the surge of blood pressure in their brains.

"Chiba..."

"You old men are not as calm as young people. Chiba dares to carry me with him, what are you afraid of? Are you old codgers more afraid of death?"

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Third Hokage and the others, Kurama couldn't help but taunt them.

The three old men were present when the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed away again on the night of its death.

Seeing that she didn't go berserk is already giving Chiba face.

"you!"

Mitokado Homura couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly stood up, glaring angrily at Kurama.

"What are you?"

Nine-Tails chuckled, "I misspoke? Look how calm Chiba and this person are. Look at you all, what can you do besides pointing fingers?"
