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

Page 39

Chiba didn't think he performed particularly well, since the enemies were just ordinary samurai, and their battles were basically one-sided with no sign of teamwork.

Such prodigies are perhaps only one or two in an era, and the situation where every village had geniuses like in the era of the second generation is extremely rare.

The three generations took over.

He looked at it carefully, then his expression turned serious.

pity……

The third generation was indeed silenced for several seconds.

Including the time he was studying barrier techniques, it took Chiba about ten days to properly learn sealing techniques.

If everyone in Konoha had such innovative talent, they would probably have unified the ninja world long ago. Therefore, he wished there were more geniuses like Chiba.

"Haha, as a newcomer, it's already quite remarkable to have such a performance in your first battle. Hmm, are you here today to exchange books? Or is there something else?"

Is this considered a compliment?

This kid directly extracted and created a barrier technique; the improved sealing array is a product of fusion!

Another trick?

The third generation chuckled.

The third generation smiled and then inquired about the important matter.

Although it's just an improvement, it's already quite remarkable. Besides, the other party has only been learning sealing techniques for a little over half a month, right?

"of course."

"Lord Hokage, this is a technique I modified on the way. Once activated, it can maintain the sealing array on its own for a short period of time. I think it has some practical value."

Chiba returned the three books, and then presented eight talismans and a report.

"Let me see."

The third generation's eyes were sharp, and they instantly saw through the key point.

It's not an improvement.

He looked up in surprise, stared at Chiba for a long while, and finally exhaled slowly, saying, "Every time I think you're already amazing, you always manage to surprise me."

As Chiba said.

This improved sealing array is more practical and can be used even by one person. The only drawback is that it is also more difficult to use.

The initial assessment of the third generation indicates that its difficulty level is close to B, while the difficulty level of drawing blueprints is around A+.

There are very few easy procedures for this child.

but.

Why is there still one page?

He rolled over, and then—

"A Proposal for Improving Chakra Threads"

Ok?

The third generation was first surprised, and then...

On the contrary, I felt a little relieved.

It's just an improvement, at least it's not a completely new technique, so it won't be too much of a blow to me.

The Third Hokage glanced at it, then nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. You hope that everyone can try to incorporate nature transformation into chakra threads to create new ninjutsu?"

“I don’t have any changes in nature, so I can’t try it, but I think it has the potential for further development.”

Chiba explained, "Many hands make light work. I think everyone should join the ranks of innovation so that our village can be further improved."

The three generations praised it highly: "Your idea is very meaningful. Indeed, innovation is not a matter for one or two people; more people should be involved."

"Yes, many people actually have some ideas about techniques, but once they are created, they keep them to themselves and others don't know about them. This is a huge waste of resources."

Chiba continued.

The third generation nodded repeatedly, signaling him to continue.

"What I mean is, the village should increase rewards for innovators to encourage everyone to share their knowledge. Of course, we also need to be wary of spies from other villages..."

Chiba spoke eloquently.

He said all this not for the reward, but because he wanted everyone to share their knowledge instead of keeping it at home and letting it rot.

Could you elaborate on the rewards and knowledge sharing?

The third generation tapped on the table.

He sensed that Chiba was referring to something.

"My idea is this, for your reference: like the Book of Seals, we can collect some important innovative ninjutsu, and the innovators and contributors can choose one of these techniques to learn."

Chiba said.

The three generations burst into laughter.

This child did indeed think that way, but he wasn't surprised. Chiba's thirst for knowledge was always out in the open, without any attempt to hide it.

After thinking it over, he nodded and said, "Your suggestion is excellent, I will make the arrangements."

Then, the third generation had a headache.

What reward should we give Chiba this time?

Book access has been granted.

They also gave me my swordsmanship notes.

Now it seems...

This kid needs a better weapon.

"It seems you don't have a good weapon yet. I have some chakra iron over there. Go back and think about what kind of weapon you need."

"Thank you so much!"

Chiba's eyes lit up.

Chakra Iron?

My darling!

His eyes darted around, and he asked, "Lord Hokage, how much is 'some'?"

"Not many. A knife the size of yours is probably just about enough."

The third generation coughed lightly and said.

"Lord Hokage, don't be so stingy! Give me just a little bit more. My suggestion was so good, shouldn't I get a reward? Besides, think of all the benefits I've brought to the village!"

Chiba went over to negotiate the price.

The third generation sighed softly: "What do you want to create? Although there's still a little bit left, there's really not much left."

"Ahem, my requirements aren't high. Just this kind of knife, and while you're at it, please forge a steel wire made of chakra iron and steel, preferably one that's quite tough."

Chiba said.

"Steel wire?"

"Yes, so not many materials are needed."

Chiba said.

The third generation nodded helplessly: "Alright, then we'll add another wire. This time, it's really gone!"

"Hehehe, thank you, Lord Hokage! I'll think about my weapon when I get back, and then I'll send it to you."

Chiba knew nothing about weapon forging.

Although he could learn it, he felt it wasn't really necessary, since there was already a weapons expert in the team, and he could just ask her to design it.

However, we need to carefully consider what kind of sword it is.

He was fiddling with his notebook when he went outside and saw an elderly man with black hair, leaning on a cane and wrapped in bandages, walking slowly towards him.

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

Danzo Shimura.

Konoha is known as a troublemaker.

He bowed slightly, then stepped aside, allowing Danzo to pass first.

Danzo walked to the side, stopped, and said, "Your talent is more than this. Would you like to find a bigger stage?"

Chapter 38 Combined Treatment, Application of Absorption Barrier

"Uh, who are you?"

Although he knew who the other person was, Chiba could only pretend not to recognize them at this moment.

After all, this guy's thoughts are even harder to fathom than a woman's.

Oh.

One thing is quite easy to guess.

Danzo now would definitely want to be Hokage, and he must be furious that the Third Hokage lived so long.
