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

Before they could even launch an attack, Konoha had already patched things up, blocking all angles of attack. In addition, Kumogakure had absolutely no evidence, so they had no way to manipulate the Nine-Tails' affairs.

"Ah, I'm back. I took care of some things and we got together to chat."

"What do you mean?"

Sealing techniques are too difficult!

Kakashi closed the book without saying a word.

I'm currently in Chiba's research lab.

There's also some unrest in the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Mist Village, and even the Hidden Rain Village.

War could break out at any time.

If we become complacent, we will be unable to do anything when the tide of war rolls in.

Sasuke wanted to speak, but after thinking for a moment, he closed his mouth again.

If Chiba-senpai wanted to say something, he would have said it directly, instead of reminding her in this way.

"Literally, it means to be ambitious and not complacent."

Chiba said seriously.

"Ah."

Tenten and Kazusa nodded.

They wouldn't doubt Chiba's words. Since Chiba said so, he must have his reasons, so they would just listen to him.

Moreover.

Even without Chiba's words, wouldn't they still have to train hard?

No one needs to urge them every day.

She found meaning in her ninjutsu through ninja tools and space-time ninjutsu, and wished she had half as much time and energy every day. How could she have time to think about anything else?

As for Kassa.

She's been busy training her lightning release techniques lately and hasn't had time to think about it either.

"In short, everyone should work hard. I have a few ninjutsu here. You can go back and think about them. It would be even better if you could come up with some ideas to complete them."

Chiba took out several ninjutsu scrolls.

One was handed to Kazusa.

That was a scroll about Lightning Release Chakra Armor, with some additional ideas about future developments in Lightning Release Chakra Armor that needed to be completed.

Kazusa took it, glanced at it, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Lightning Release defensive ninjutsu!

and.

Later, Chiba also wrote down an idea—

By combining chakra armor with a chakra shield, it achieves both concealment of presence and defensive capabilities.

If she succeeds, even if the assassination fails, she won't be severely injured.

A very practical technique.

Kazusa nodded solemnly.

"this is yours."

"What technique?"

Every day, he would take it and open it carelessly, without much hesitation.

After opening it, she couldn't help but pause for a few seconds in surprise.

The above is...

a chance!

An opportunity to receive guidance from three generations.

"I can't have it!"

He declined every day.

"Take it. After all, I've contributed a lot, and the Third Hokage and Tsunade must have had some headaches at times. Besides, the Third Hokage himself might have had similar thoughts."

Chiba smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the value of a ninja craftsman!"

The original Tenten didn't develop in ninja tool forging, so she didn't have much special value. Now it's different; she's gone further and further in forging, and her value is incomparable.

"But……"

Tian Tian hesitated for a long time, then shook her head and pushed the things back, saying, "No, as you said, if I have any value, I can ask the Third Generation Elder for guidance myself."

"Then let's change to this one."

Chiba then handed over another scroll.

Sasuke and Sakura, standing to the side, felt like a million ants were crawling inside their hearts. What exactly was the first scroll? Why did Tenten react that way?

Also.

How many ninjutsu scrolls does Chiba actually have?!

Kind of outrageous.

Tian Tian took a look and found that it was a concept document about Earth Release Chakra Armor.

This seems quite useful, and I already have some ninjutsu I can learn from it.

Sclerotherapy.

As an Earth Release defensive ninjutsu, the Hardening Technique shares some similarities with the principle of chakra armor.

It should be quite simple.

I think about this every day.

Then, Chiba sent another copy to Sasuke.

Sasuke opened it, paused for a moment, then looked at Chiba without saying a word.

Sakura was very happy.

She received knowledge and insights into medical ninjutsu, as well as some tips on how to manipulate chakra.

It may seem like it's not very valuable, but it's actually what she needs most right now.

"Looks like we've finished talking. Hmm, I've finished ordering too, it'll be served soon."

"Let's eat."

……

After the meal, on a secluded street, Sasuke followed Chiba, walking at a leisurely pace.

After a while.

Finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

What did you mean by that?

"what?"

"Is the idea of ​​not being content with the status quo related to that man?"

Sasuke asked.

Chiba glanced at it and couldn't help but smile: "I thought you would ask why it's a blank scroll first, but it's definitely him who's getting your attention."

"I just want to kill him myself!"

Sasuke said.

Chiba smiled and said, "What techniques I teach you depends on how strong you are. Let's go. I hope your month in the Anbu hasn't disappointed me."

"Yes!"

Sasuke followed in Chiba's footsteps.

Arriving at a deserted forest, Sasuke formed hand seals and used his teleportation ability to close the distance while running.

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

He intervened the instant he attacked, stopping his wrist.

but.

In that instant, a bolt of lightning erupted from Sasuke's hand, followed by a blade sneaking in from his left hand.

That cut was swift!

Chiba was somewhat surprised.

Although Sasuke's technique was not yet the complete Chidori Stream, it had already taken shape. If he hadn't sensed the chakra flow and prepared in advance, he might have been hit by it.

They've learned how to set traps.

"very good."

when!

With a loud bang, the sword in Sasuke's hand was struck by a burst of energy, almost knocking it away.

He looked at Chiba in surprise.

What kind of technique was that just now?

He didn't see any movement!

No.

Fingers!

"You've learned to use the enemy's knowledge of you to set traps, but you also need to be wary of their additional tricks."

"Yes!"
