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

"We're not afraid to die!"

Xiaochun, who was turning over in bed, said angrily.

"Why didn't you come up and fight me back then, but instead it was your fourth generation?"

If those old bastards come, I can definitely take them all down!

"That's what Nine-Tailed Fox thought to itself."

The three generations remained silent from beginning to end.

Since Chiba brought him along, it meant he was absolutely certain of the outcome. Although he was worried, he could only acquiesce.

Seeing Koharu and Homura in the dorm so angry, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and waved his hand, signaling them to sit down.

Xiaochun, suppressing her anger, tried to sit down after turning over to her new room.

result.

"You still have the nerve to sit after being scolded like this? If I were you..."

"Alright, Nine-Tails."

Chiba pressed it down, saying, "Just say a few words, but you're getting more and more excited. I'll throw you into the Death Forest later."

The nine-tailed fox squatted by the window, about to curse again, but then...

Chiba unleashed a burst of Sage Chakra, sealing its mouth shut.

"Ahem, let's get down to business. Business is more important. Let's put everything else aside for now."

Tsunade coughed lightly to change the subject.

Although Nine-Tails enjoyed venting her anger and expressed some of her inner thoughts, letting her continue venting now could escalate into a new riot.

She just changed her desk and doesn't plan to change it again for the time being.

"I have something to attend to, please excuse me."

Xiaochun, still fuming from the change of dormitories, turned and left in annoyance.

She couldn't even out-argue a tailed beast clone; she really had no face to stay here any longer.

Mitokado Yan was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly and followed him out.

This office...

He didn't want to stay anymore.

Nine-Tails stood to one side, a slight smile on his face.

"Chiba, tell me what exactly happened? Although we've extracted some memories from Hidan's head, we still don't know the specifics."

Tsunade gestured for Chiba to sit down.

This concerns the Akatsuki organization, so we must be cautious.

The Third Hokage coughed lightly and added from the side, "Also, how did you end up in Kumogakure and even fight the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? Now Kumogakure has come to complain."

"Don't worry, they definitely don't know who I am, there's absolutely no evidence."

Chiba said, "The situation is like this..."

He explained the whole story.

of course.

Some details have been omitted.

such as.

He went to the Sound Village first, and then to the Cloud Village. One reason was to observe the Lightning Release Armor, but the main reason was for the Eight-Tails, Gyūki.

There's absolutely no need to explain such a mental journey.

It's enough to understand without saying a word.

The Third Hokage and Tsunade listened from the side, their expressions shifting between tension, surprise, and occasional delight.

Especially when Chiba's chakra merges with Kurama's, achieving a new chakra pattern.

She exchanged a glance with the Third Hokage, and then they both looked at Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

No wonder...

Chiba is going to bring the Nine-Tails over.

Tsunade understood.

Kurama (the Nine-Tails) said that the Akatsuki organization had nothing to do with it, and that even if it were captured, it would still be sealed away without any difference. However, if it saw members of the Akatsuki, it would still be willing to lend a hand if given the chance to fight them.

This is much better than before.

of course.

They both knew that what Chiba said only applied to this little nine-tailed fox.

What the entity itself thinks is unknown.

It's highly unlikely that they will cooperate.

The Third Hokage and Tsunade remained silent, digesting the information for a while before Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "So they have no evidence to prove that you were the one who did it?"

"Well, because I didn't use any distinctive ninjutsu. Of course, everyone knows who it is, but they don't have any evidence."

"What about the Nine-Tails? How do you explain the past?"

The third generation asked the key question.

This is also the key reason why the Hidden Cloud Village dared to come to Konoha to demand an explanation.

Nine tails!

Chiba smiled and said, "According to Jiraiya-sama's investigation, the Akatsuki has a ninja who is skilled in concealing his presence and using Earth Release techniques. Moreover, judging from Kakuzu's observations, their organization may have existed for a long time..."

"Yes, it's Xiaogan's!"

Tsunade clapped her hands in agreement, "How could we Konoha ninjas do such a thing?"

"I remember that the Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Kumogakure ate the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails and obtained its chakra. Orochimaru must have done some research in this area as well."

Chiba declared righteously, "I suspect it's something Orochimaru left behind in the Akatsuki!"

The third generation pondered for a few seconds.

This statement...

The Hidden Cloud Village certainly wouldn't believe it, but logically there's nothing too obvious about it.

Although Chiba made the first move, it is also a fact that the Akatsuki went to the Land of Lightning.

It comes down to it.

The Hidden Cloud Village had no evidence, and the losses were not too great.

but.

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "They might demand Hidan."

"How can we give it to them if we don't have Hidan? Besides, even if I killed him, wouldn't the Hidden Cloud Village thank me for helping them? As for Hidan, we can develop things together."

"???"

I wrote too fast, damn it, I didn't think it through.

Chapter 235 mentions it, but not completely.

I should also thank you for thinking of you?

Is this even reasonable?!

Furthermore, what about jointly developing flight segments?

Tsunade was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.

This was the most outrageous proposal she had ever heard. Hidan was a living, breathing person, and an immortal one at that. How could someone with such a physique be considered for joint development?

The third generation was clearly still in shock.

He frowned and sat there savoring the moment.

Including the Nine-Tailed Fox...

"this?"

"I was traveling when I came across them fighting, so I helped them out. As for the Eight-Tails incident, I didn't do it anyway, and I even helped them!"

Chiba made up something on the spot.

Doesn't the Hidden Cloud Village know it's him?

of course I know.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret, but as long as there's no evidence and enough benefits are offered, the Hidden Cloud Village can't do anything about it.

That kind of chakra was clearly different from the Fire Temple style mastered by Chiba and Asuma.

"Uh."

Tsunade thought for a long time and said, "If we're going to cooperate, both sides have to gain considerable benefits. Our level of expertise in physical health and medicine is far superior to theirs..."

Those things aren't common goods; they're all high-quality items that are hard to find in ordinary places.

The two of them discussed it—

It's profitable in Konoha!

Otherwise, Hidan's head wouldn't be preserved in the culture medium.

I used to think Chiba was quite smart, almost as smart as Rokudo, but how did he suddenly become stupid?

The third generation spoke first.

In that case, what exactly is an evil god?
