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

Anyway, he seems very powerful, and Chiba would never harm him.

"I'll come to see you tonight."

"Okay, I'll wait at home."

……

The border of the Fire Nation.

"Sister, Lord Raikage wants us to negotiate with Konoha. Why did you bring so many books?"

"How can you negotiate if you don't understand your enemy?"

Samui glanced at his younger brother.

Atsi is good at everything, except he doesn't like to use his brain.

The other party could even defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who had activated his Tailed Beast form. Going to demand an explanation was a thankless task. She felt that the Fourth Raikage was more impulsive when he said that.

but.

This is something we really can't avoid.

At least we can find out what the current situation is in Konoha through this mission.

Samui narrowed his eyes and said, "Azui, a ninja must learn to think calmly, otherwise you will never become an excellent Jonin."

"Yes Yes."

"..."

Samui sighed silently, knowing that his younger brother hadn't listened.

Atsui was only promoted to Chunin this year, but his impulsive personality during battle makes him completely unsuitable for leading a team.

If this flaw cannot be overcome...

Becoming a Special Jonin was his ultimate goal.

She continued flipping through the book in her hands.

This is an information book about Chiba, filled with information gathered by Kumogakure about Yagyu Chiba.

Based on her observations.

Yagyu Chiba is the person in Konoha who best fits the profile of someone who could defeat Killer Bee.

but.

No evidence.

There is no concrete evidence in Kumogakure to prove that Chiba is that person, except for the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"It seems the only way is to focus on the Nine-Tails."

Samui thought to himself.

She closed the booklet, intending to quicken her pace, when...

"For the girls of Kumogakure, curiosity about men is often the beginning of their downfall!"

A voice rang out from above.

Samui felt a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end. He instantly drew his sword from his waist and looked towards the source of the voice: "Who goes there?"

but.

Before she could even say hello, Atsui charged forward, flames erupting from the blade at her waist.

however.

Before he could reach Jiraiya, Jiraiya had already swooped down and grabbed his wrist in an instant.

"Young people shouldn't resort to violence whenever they meet; it's not good!"

Jiraiya chuckled.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Atsi's forehead.

So strong!

He didn't even see how the other person approached, and the force of their hand was so great that he felt like his bones were about to shatter.

Sami didn't recognize it at first.

but.

Upon seeing the "oil" character on Jiraiya's forehead, she immediately bowed and said, "I didn't expect you to be one of the legendary Sannin, Lord Jiraiya. We have offended you this time, but we did not enter the Land of Fire without a reason."

"Oh?"

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes and looked at Samui. "What's the matter? Our village's Jinchuriki was attacked a while ago. During this time, you entered the Land of Fire, so I have to be on high alert."

"Your country's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been attacked?"

Samui paused, then asked, "Can I ask what's going on?"

"Yes, the other party is wearing robes with fiery clouds at the bottom..."

Jiraiya described Itachi and Kisame's attire.

Samui's expression gradually turned serious, and a look of shock appeared on his face: "You mean, this group's target is the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts?"

"I'm not entirely sure yet, so I'm gathering information on them. What, you've seen these people too?"

"Yes, we..."

Samui quickly gathered his thoughts.

If Jiraiya didn't deceive her, then there's no doubt that the two ninjas who appeared on the border of the Land of Lightning that day were not a chance encounter.

They really came for the Tailed Beasts!

It just so happens that one of them struck first; the one who struck was probably Chiba from Konoha, and they encountered him during their pursuit.

Samui felt something was off.

She hesitated for a moment, a serious look appearing on her face: "I didn't expect there to be such an organization behind this. It's terrifying. Uh, Jiraiya-sama, could you please...?"

"Haha, no problem. The young man is very enthusiastic; I was just playing a little joke on him."

Jiraiya patted Atsui on the shoulder.

Atsi dared not speak out against his anger.

One of the legendary Sannin.

Can't afford to offend!

Samui chatted with Jiraiya for a while longer.

She tried to gather more information about the Akatsuki organization, but Jiraiya's enigmatic expression prevented her from discovering much.

Upon learning that the two women had entered the Land of Fire through legitimate channels, Jiraiya quickly allowed them to leave.

After Samui bid farewell to Jiraiya, his expression gradually became serious.

"Sister, he..."

"Walk."

"Oh."

Samui realized that his trip was indeed not going to go smoothly.

Upon reaching the border of the Land of Fire, Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, came to "patchase" the situation, demonstrating that Konoha was fully prepared to deal with Kumogakure.

She vaguely recalled something from years ago—

During the period when Konoha was weak, Kumogakure also used some methods to harass the Hyuga clan of Konoha.

With the offensive and defensive roles reversed this time, they are unlikely to gain any further advantage.

but.

There is actually an organization that specializes in collecting Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts.

According to Jiraiya's description.

The other person was clearly Itachi, as for the other one...

The rest is unknown, but Samehada is a ninja tool from Kirigakure, so the other one should be a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

It's all interconnected!

Samui glanced worriedly to the side.

My teammates are such noobs; they're completely useless this time.

Chapter 238 Kakashi-sensei, Don't Be Too Happy Yet

night.

At Might Guy's house, Chiba arrived as promised to place the curse mark on Might Guy.

Practice makes perfect.

He can now implant cursed seals very easily and control the surrounding flesh, chakra, and sealing techniques within a very small area.

If you don't look closely, you can only see a tiny red dot.

Matt Kai gave it a try.

It can indeed be absorbed and stored.

"Are you trying? Although it can absorb and store, in reality, the Yin Seal must be fully filled to use this ability."

Chiba said, "This is also the most useless aspect of my cursed seal."

Then, he chuckled and said, "Think about it this way, if I were like you, using all sorts of Yin seals all over my body, wouldn't I have an extra buffer zone after opening the Eight Gates?"

The gift for Kakashi was already prepared; Chiba had previously instructed Kakashi to brush up on his sealing techniques.

Obviously, it is more convenient to directly control "autonomous charging".
