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

How powerful was the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball?

but.

Aside from the area inside the barrier, it has no effect on the outside. If Konoha can maintain such a barrier in future battles against the Tailed Beasts, it will be virtually invincible.

Tenten doesn't believe her Flying Thunder God Technique is on par with the Fourth Hokage or Chiba's, but she can still perform such a barrier technique...

Perhaps it can also be of help to Chiba.

Once the meal was ready, Tsunade and Shizune knocked on the door and came in, followed by Kakashi, Guy, and Kazusa.

Everyone had apparently received the news from somewhere that he had moved, so they came to congratulate him.

Everyone except Tian Tian enjoyed the meal.

Because every day became a topic of conversation.

After the meal, everyone chatted for a while.

Neji felt a pang of doubt.

It's hard to say whether the league is doing well or badly right now.

These exchanges of ninjutsu are very important to the Hidden Cloud Village; the only problem is—

Forget it.

Inside a forest, Neji was practicing the taijutsu he had learned from Chiba a long time ago when he suddenly sensed a peculiar insect flying into his line of sight.

Before parting, the Raikage was filled with emotion.

"You think beautiful!"

In the future, when facing Konoha, Kumogakure may have even less of an advantage.

After Chiba came out, everyone tacitly changed the subject and stopped discussing it, which made them so angry that they were itching to fight every day.

Admitting to something like this puts you at a disadvantage; the best strategy is to be shameless and deny it.

Before saying goodbye, Raikage pulled Chiba aside and whispered some special instructions.

Respiratory activation technique.

of course.

A genius like Chiba, a little fox, is unlikely to die young; he will definitely become another Hashirama Senju in the future.

He had no choice but to go.

How did she know in advance when Chiba was moving?

And those two knives...

"Although I am not interested in tailed beasts, if you are willing to give them to Konoha, we are still willing to tighten our belts and buy them."

Chiba didn't want to go, but Tsunade insisted on dragging him along to see her off...

He waved his hand impatiently, too lazy to talk to him anymore.

……

"I know you were the one who did Killer Bee's thing, and I don't know what you're planning to do with the Eight-Tails' chakra, but you can't mess around with the Two-Tails anymore!"

Parasites!

Why would parasites appear here?

Konoha didn't even pay a price, and still got what they wanted.

"Anyway, you know that if you have any needs regarding Erwei, we can sit down and talk it over properly. Don't always resort to violence."

Kumogakure is not at a loss either.

Afterwards, the Raikage led his men away from Konoha and embarked on the road back to Kumogakure.

Chakra armor, limit-breaking state, etc.

Back then, Kumogakure was incredibly powerful, even Konoha had to avoid its advance. But now, even knowing that Chiba has obtained the Eight-Tails' chakra, they still can't do anything about it.

Raikage rolled his eyes.

When talking about Kumogakure, Tsunade was filled with emotion.

Chiba firmly denied it.

The next day, Raikage and his group prepared to leave.

This is?

such as.

but.

"Lord Raikage, if you continue to speak nonsense, I will sue you for defamation!"

but.

The little fox simply wouldn't fall for it!

They got what they needed, just like everyone else.

Raiche.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that the other party might be coming for him—

The parasite flew straight towards him after seeing him.

In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of me.

then.

"You, Neji?"

"Yes, I am Hyuga Neji."

Neji's expression turned serious.

Parasites.

The oil woman's family wouldn't come looking for her, so there's only one person who can command the parasitic insects to find her—

Yagyu Chiba!

Chiba returned recently, but Neji has no intention of looking for her.

He felt that the gap between himself and Chiba was widening.

Instead of wasting time, I should cultivate more and become stronger. That's the key. But I never expected that Chiba would come looking for me first, and in such a subtle way.

He didn't understand the situation.

The parasitic insect sized him up, then said haltingly, "Do you want to leave the Hyuga clan?"

"??"

Neji's pupils contracted, somewhat astonished, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his face, but then, he slumped down weakly, "What does he mean?"

"The master said he has a way."

"what?"

Neji was extremely surprised—

He was initially shocked that Chiba would expose him so directly. For a moment, he thought that Chiba had made a deal with the Hyuga clan to get rid of him.

result.

The conversation suddenly shifted, revealing that the other party was actually there to help.

why?

Neji couldn't understand it.

“I always thought I was a genius, but compared to him, I must be nothing. Is there anything about me that would make him pay attention to me?”

"You're saying too much; I don't understand."

It's just a "brain worm".

Although he possesses some wisdom and has mastered the art of speaking, he is still far from reaching the level of the Insect King.

"Uh."

Neji realized he was too excited and had mistaken the person in front of him for Chiba.

He gave a wry smile, gathered his thoughts, and asked, "Where is he waiting for me?"

"Come to the forest."

"Okay, I understand. I'll find an excuse to go to the research institute and pass by your area while I'm there."

Neji said.

"it is good."

The parasitic insect answered and then flew towards the Forest of Death.

Neji took a deep breath.

Then, he forced himself to calm down and continued exercising until evening, when he was close to his usual running time, before leaving the forest and running along the outskirts.

After that, he went to the research institute.

While passing through the Forest of Death, Neji encountered Chiba's shadow clone in an area frequented by parasitic insects.

He knew that there was a shadow clone here all year round.

It is replaced every once in a while, and the one in front of me looks like it was just replaced.

"You want to help me?"

"It's up to you."

The shadow clone pointed to the stone on the ground, gesturing for him to sit down.

Neji sat down on the rock.

Chiba asked, "Do you want to leave the Hyuga clan, or leave Konoha?"
