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

They'll try to get away with it as long as they can, until they can't hide it any longer.

"By the way, Lady Tsunade..."

"Call me 'older sister' if I'm useful, otherwise call me 'Lady Tsunade'. Ha, brat!"

Tsunade curled her lips.

Chiba paused for a second, then said, "Tsunade-neechan! How's your research on the bone regeneration technique going with Shizune-senpai?"

"Not bad. Based on your observations, we've attempted to artificially create bone components, and we've made considerable progress. As for what you said about extracting life force to regenerate bone marrow..."

Tsunade shook her head. "It's quite difficult, and we may need to study it further for now."

"Hmm, if we can create bones, plus this neurotechnology..."

Chiba took a piece of paper from his pocket.

This was an artificial nerve design he came up with while researching Sharingan tools and the Sand Eye. After returning yesterday, he immediately made some improvements so that the bone regeneration technique could be used quickly.

Tsunade took it and looked at it for a few seconds, then her expression became somewhat complicated, and she seemed to be a little touched.

After a long while, she let out a breath.

"you really……"

"It should be feasible. With this technique, even if bone marrow regeneration cannot be achieved, at least some disabled ninjas can use better prosthetics."

Konoha has many ninjas like this.

One of them is quite skilled and currently active—

Kosuke Maruboshi.

Tsunade immediately thought of him.

This old man, who has lived through four Hokage eras, still serves as a Genin.

Although the third generation had tried to give him as few dangerous missions as possible, he was still missing a leg and blind in one eye. It would be best if he could be restored to his original state.

Tsunade wanted to talk more—

As long as you chat with Chiba, you can send a lot of files to Shizune to work on.

This feels great!

but.

The next second, she and Chiba exchanged a glance.

The Raikage is here again!

……

"Lord Raikage, perhaps I should negotiate with them later."

Samui whispered to himself, "I'll negotiate and discuss terms; even if it doesn't work out, I won't lose face."

"How much is face worth?"

The Raikage curled his lip in disdain, then his expression turned slightly serious. "We'll definitely cooperate with Konoha. The issue now is how we discuss things. I'll handle it, but you'll have to try to persuade them later."

"That's...ok."

Samui was in a difficult position.

When Raikage flew into a rage, few dared to dissuade him, but since he had already said so, they had no choice but to agree.

She accompanied Lei Ying into the office.

Immediately following, there was a slight pause.

Why is he here?

Samui was surprised, then bowed and greeted, "Chiba-kun, I didn't expect to see you here."

"I need to talk to Lady Tsunade about something."

Chiba looked at the Raikage and nodded slightly, saying, "Raikage-sama, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Yagyu Chiba."

"Hehe, this is our second meeting. I was able to travel directly from Kumogakure to Konoha thanks to you before."

A slight smile appeared on the Raikage's face. "As expected of a genius boy renowned throughout the ninja world!"

"No, if you have something to discuss with Lady Tsunade..."

"Chiba, you are a Jonin in our village, and you developed many ninjutsu. Why don't you stay and help me talk to the Raikage?"

Tsunade said calmly.

"..."

Chiba sighed softly, then looked at Raikage.

Yeah.

It needs to be resolved sooner or later; we can't keep dragging this out indefinitely.

"You want to talk to me?"

Raikage raised an eyebrow and looked at Chiba.

He acknowledged that Chiba was very strong and had great development capabilities, but it was too frivolous to have a teenager talk to him.

"Lord Raikage, I've heard Lady Tsunade mention your conditions before."

Chiba smiled and said directly, "In your opinion, you must think that our Konoha urgently needs the ninjutsu knowledge of Kumogakure, right?"

"Our Hidden Cloud Village's ninjutsu is a secret and cannot be taught to outsiders."

The Raikage did not answer directly.

Chiba smiled and said, "That's exactly what you mean. How about we have a match? It doesn't have to be a winner or loser, just to let you see the power of Konoha's taijutsu."

"Oh?"

The Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes.

Are you provoking me?

He sneered and said, "Kid, I admit you're strong. In that state, you might be faster than me, but you only had the advantage of being caught off guard..."

"You can choose me if you want, but I don't want to talk about me. I want to talk about Might Guy, you should know him. I heard that Atsui Chunin from your village has been training with him recently."

"Metkay?"

Raikage recalled for a moment.

indeed.

Both Atsui and Samui have mentioned this Jonin.

His physical skills are extremely strong.

Let this Matt Kai fight me...

The Raikage clenched his fist and said, "I want to see just how strong your Konoha's taijutsu is. Call that guy named Might Guy over here, I want to spar with him!"

Chiba nodded gently.

That's simple, just send the message using Flying Thunder God Technique.

That day, he specially reserved a spell for Matt Ke.

Upon seeing this space-time ninjutsu, the Raikage felt even more apprehensive. This kid's mastery of space-time ninjutsu was quite impressive, perhaps even surpassing that of Mabui.

Physical techniques, swordsmanship, stealth, and space-time ninjutsu.

How does a brain work?

Have I spent my entire life immersed in books?

Ai was starting to have doubts about life.

"Let's go to the outskirts, otherwise it won't be good if we damage this place."

"Indeed, Raikage?"

"Let's go."

Solving problems with force is indeed in line with the style of Kumogakure, so the Raikage readily agreed and even admired Chiba's approach.

Unlike Tsunade.

Years ago, they could resolve issues with an arm wrestling match, but now they've learned to argue like those old folks.

of course.

The Raikage would never voice his double standards; he would only think about them in his mind.

The four of them moved with incredible speed, arriving at the village designated by Chiba in no time. This was an open area outside the Forest of Death.

This is the place where Kakashi tested Chiba and the others before.

Soon.

Might Guy, Little Lee, and Artui also arrived.

When Xiao Li saw the lineup in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Hokage, Raikage, Chiba...

There's also the opposing Jonin, plus Guy-sensei and Atsui.

I'm the worst!

Do we deserve to be here watching?

Xiao Li's legs felt a little weak, and he couldn't help but look at Might Guy.

Kai patted him on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Li, be confident. Our physical skills are the strongest. Today, I'll show you my improved six physical techniques!"

"Yes, Teacher Kai!"

Xiao Li was in tears.

Matt Kay held him, constantly encouraging him and crying.

Tsunade was silent.
