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

"Need not."

Kakashi shook his head.

Every day, Kazusa cheered.

He glanced at Kakashi.

"Why are you looking at me?"

but.

Kakashi is still the same Kakashi, just as awful as ever.

"Okay!"

This guy might not necessarily be acting mysterious; he probably just thinks it's fun to mess with them.

It was pushed, but not completely pushed—

I'm so curious!

He pushed his mask up halfway and started eating noodles at an incredible speed, silencing Tenten and Kazusa. Chiba, however, smiled silently.

The next moment, Kakashi pushed up his mask.

What does Kakashi-sensei look like under his mask?

Only Chiba wasn't very curious, since he had seen it in anime and knew roughly what it looked like.

"Tch, what a joke. By the way, Chiba, you said you came up with a technique for them, was it a medical ninjutsu?"

He asked me questions every day while he was eating.

When people aren't at the dining table, they tend to be less polite.

"I wouldn't call it that. It's just a reverse application of the absorption barrier, trying to see if it can make medical ninjutsu a little simpler."

Chiba said, "It's not very helpful for medical ninjas on the battlefield, but it's quite useful in the operating room."

"I see."

Kakashi, with his extensive knowledge, understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

This kid's thinking is always a bit different from ordinary people.

While he was still figuring out how to use that technique in ninjutsu combat, Chiba had already veered towards its application in medical surgery…

It's normal that Kakashi can't understand it.

If Chiba were a normal ninja, he would probably prioritize combat ninjutsu, just like him. After all, he is a ninja, and improving his strength is the most important thing.

but.

For Chiba, creating a ninjutsu that can be disseminated can also improve his abilities, and it might even be stronger than creating a ninjutsu that he uses himself.

Just like now.

Another pattern appeared on his Bodhi seed.

Two of them are amplifications of mental power, one is amplification of perception, and one is amplification of recovery ability. The fifth one has just been born, and its size and depth are currently only considered medium among the five patterns.

As for the effects, they are still being explored.

When the soldier's rations and lunch were delivered, Chiba inquired about his training progress. Tenten and Kazusa were reluctant to talk about it and instead pushed him out, preventing him from watching from the sidelines.

Chiba had no choice but to return to his old profession—

While practicing my cultivation, I also took the opportunity to test the amplification effect.

As evening fell, Chiba collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

"The fifth pattern should also be a recovery ability, and its effect is much stronger than the previous one after being superimposed on the fourth pattern."

This recovery involves not only physical strength, but also mental energy.

The recovery process hasn't been tested yet; you can't just deliberately cut yourself for the sake of testing.

Since Tenten and Kazusa needed to train in ninjutsu, they naturally couldn't accept C-rank missions. After resting for two days, they took on a few D-rank missions to farm data and train and cultivate at the same time.

During this period, Chiba has been paying attention to the improved version of the sealing array and the joint barrier.

The improved sealing formation has been implemented among elite Chunin and above.

As for the latter, according to Kitayama Osamu, there is already some progress, and the final test is underway. The result of these two things is that his fifth pattern has become much longer and deeper.

Moreover, the patterns on the Bodhi seed shimmered with light, two white streaks, one pale yellow streak, and two blue streaks.

As the five patterns accumulated, they underwent further changes, but for the time being, Chiba did not experience any tangible increase in value from the changes in the Bodhi seed.

"Forget it, I'll definitely get stronger anyway, so I'll just keep working towards that goal."

Chiba stopped dwelling on such trivial matters.

The current test results are very favorable to us.

Even if someone else refines your idea, it can still provide you with growth and feedback.

but.

Its pattern is not a single technique or pattern, but rather based on categories. Just like its own absorption barrier, it developed two abilities, but ultimately classified them as derivatives of one.

Similarly, there are chakra threads.

Why is there no limit state?

Chiba pondered for a long time, then went out to find Xiao Li.

At this time, Xiao Li should still be exercising.

really.

He found Xiao Li training in the woods where he used to live.

Xiao Li hasn't mastered it yet.

To be precise, his method is currently inconsistent and he is still in the exploratory and consolidation stage.

"As expected, it's because it's too difficult to popularize on a certain scale."

Guy and Kakashi can definitely learn it, but...

has no meaning?

It's questionable whether the two of them can even generate a single pattern.

The only way out is—

Research a lower-priced, basic version!

So, Chiba went to Konoha Hospital again.

For more than ten days in a row, their team spent their time doing missions, training, and researching, but Chiba's participation in missions became less frequent.

Tenten and Kazusa were both a little worried, but they knew that Chiba was definitely researching a technique, and a very important one at that.

Don't say they don't have time to visit; even if they did, they would have to restrain themselves.

After much deliberation, finally...

Chiba reappeared, carrying their familiar notebook.

"How's your cultivation going lately?"

"It's alright. We've already mastered the nature transformation technique. Kakashi-sensei said that all we need to do next is put it into practice, and we've been learning a new technique recently."

He said smugly every day.

"Pretty fast?"

Chiba chuckled, and her expression immediately froze.

Kakashi glanced at the notebook: "A new technique?"

"It's the physical technique from before, which I named the Limit State, but it might be too difficult for ordinary people, so I studied it for half a month and lowered the difficulty. This time there shouldn't be any problems."

Chapter 40 You don't want to be discovered peeping, do you?

You know you're not an ordinary person?

Tenten and Kazusa were internally complaining.

Chiba mentioned the limit state before, but the two of them only practiced with their hands, and they haven't fully mastered it yet.

but.

Thinking about this made them even more devastated.

What the other side considered "simple" physical techniques were an impossible task for them, truly...

That's horrible!

If this kid can learn property transformation, he probably could learn it in a day, no, an hour.

Every day, I think to myself.

Despite being deeply hurt, her body honestly leaned in.

"At what level can one understand it?"

It's clear that Chiba has tried his best to describe things in language that ordinary people can understand, but it's still too obscure for ordinary genin.

"Ah."

Kakashi explained in a low voice.

"The Eight Gates? I see. But violently breaking through the Eight Gates must have a significant impact on the body, right?"

"This is not a book for ordinary genin."

Chiba said.

Kakashi draws a conclusion.

"That's right, but how do we open the door?"
