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

To be objective, Hinata's talent is decent, but her personality is too soft.

As for others like Hitachi, I will surpass him sooner or later!

Compared to Chiba, he was certainly a noob, but compared to the useless Hyuga clan, he didn't seem too bad.

The incident in Kumogakure has just ended.

I haven't had any experience with fireworks, so I can't comment on them.

The Hyuga clan was in a panic.

"So what should I do during this time?"

He dedicated himself to the physical techniques he created.

Also.

What remained in the room were not valuable documents, but rather books related to knowledge, and some of the second generation's personal notes.

“Cultivate and learn sealing techniques, and then I will find opportunities for you. Although I am directing from behind the scenes, we cannot make it too obvious.”

Furthermore, allowing his shadow clone to contact Neji was a result of his careful consideration.

Chiba Jun treats it as a form of entertainment, which is a great way to relieve stress.

"Yes, I understand."

Similar to what was done to Idu.

Neji nodded and stopped bothering Chiba.

Another technique was developed today.

Knowledge of sealing techniques can be learned at the research institute, but at a cost—

As for Hinata...

Another type is a combination of martial arts techniques that is close to Might Guy's Six Gates state, which can stably deliver the effects of both hard punches and soft punches simultaneously.

After a while, Hiashi Hyuga might contact him to discuss something. It wouldn't be good for him to contact Neji directly, as it might attract Neji's attention.

The strength lies with the user themselves, but the Hyuga main family places too much importance on these things.

Chiba said seriously, "Because you truly realize that the Byakugan is powerful because of you, not the other way around."

Chiba's current plan is to first use his mental power to cut off the part of the opponent that is attached to the caged bird, and then crush and reassemble that part.

After this reorganization, the accompanying curse mark should disappear.

Chiba had a rudimentary idea about Neji's caged bird.

Neji has recently developed two improved ninjutsu techniques. One is a modified version of Chiba's Gentle Fist, which is more adept at breaking through various defenses.

Neji pondered it carefully.

Most of them are not serious diaries, but more like a lamentation about Hashirama Senju, with occasional criticisms of Hashirama's naivety.

The problem lies with the mental aspect of being a caged bird.

Caged birds affect the mind and brain.

Previously, he stubbornly refused to learn medical ninjutsu, but now he has taken the initiative to ask to join the medical ninjas.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Just based on what you said before, you're different from the other members of the Hyuga clan."

Although it's not entirely original, these two items can earn you some contribution points.

The cursed seal on his body was relatively easy to remove. Although it required extremely high chakra control, Chiba was confident that he could perfectly seal and break it.

For example, there was a technique that was banned by the older brother today.

The remaining……

Chiba still needs to conduct further experiments to determine whether Ido is different from the constructed split soul.

The experimental subjects are perfect for making use of the three-tailed fish.

"I wonder if Honglian and the others have found the Three-Tails' whereabouts. If they haven't, we may have to revise the plan again."

……

"Why are you here again?"

"Honglian, we've been old friends for a while now. Although there was a small misunderstanding before, it's been cleared up now, hasn't it?"

"Who says you're an old friend?"

Honglian sneered, looked Dou up and down, then frowned. "You don't have some kind of trick up your sleeve again, do you?"

"How could that be? I am Lord Chiba's most loyal subordinate, and everything I do is for Lord Chiba."

The pharmacist smiled.

Honglian looked at him with disdain: "You opportunist, you follow whoever is powerful, you have no real loyalty at all!"

"If you can keep walking ahead of me, it means that you are always right, and I will never betray you. Lord Orochimaru has failed, and I think Chiba-kun is more right, that's all."

Kabuto Yakushi did not deny it.

He did indeed side with Chiba, but not because of the fence-sitter Guren mentioned, but because he felt that Chiba was more likely to guide him onto the right path.

Honglian naturally didn't believe it.

Dou smiled and didn't intend to explain further, saying, "I'm only here to deliver a message, not to argue with you, and your perception won't affect the adults' judgment of me."

"Speak, and then get out of here."

Guren had no good impression of Kabuto Yakushi, especially after he betrayed Orochimaru.

Kabuto pushed up his glasses: "I heard that Lord Chiba needs to find the whereabouts of the Three-Tails?"

"Ah."

Guren wanted to ask Kabuto where he knew this, but after thinking about it, she realized that Kabuto was the one in power entrusted by Chiba, and that he was the one who first made the changes to the Sound Ninja.

It's perfectly normal for him to have spies in the Sound Village.

She asked seriously, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Three-Tailed Fox?"

"No."

Seeing Guren's agitated and angry expression, Kabuto quickly added, "Don't misunderstand, I have no intention of playing tricks on you; it wouldn't do me any good."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Yukimaru, he seems to be under your command now, right?"

Dou smiled and said, "You may not remember him, but you've seen him before. You just might not have a strong recollection of him, so I'm here to remind you."

"what?"

Honglian didn't understand what Dou meant for a moment.

Dou smiled and said, "There was a mother and child, have you forgotten? You once killed a mother."

"What am I..."

Honglian was about to retort when a flood of memories rushed in, and she froze, a look of pain appearing on her face.

What Dou said is true.

She had indeed met Yukimaru, and had a significant entanglement with him—

Yukimaru's mother was killed by her!

Honglian's face instantly flashed with wariness and anger: "What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, you're like a mother protecting her child right now. I didn't expect that after such a short time, you've developed a mother-child-like bond with him."

Kabuto chuckled, “But don’t get excited. I have no intention of disrupting your relationship. I just want to remind you that the reason Lord Orochimaru sought him out was because his chakra was connected to the Three-Tails.”

"Ah? This..."

Honglian was extremely surprised.

So Yukimaru was connected to the Three-Tails?

No wonder Orochimaru ordered her to kill Yukimaru's mother and captured Yukimaru at the base, but later he didn't really care about him and basically left him to his own devices while keeping him under surveillance.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "You mean, find the Three-Tails through Yukimaru?"

"Yes."

He nodded.

Honglian hesitated for a moment and said, "His health is very poor. Will this cause some damage to his body?"

"What a touching sentiment... Okay, let me be serious. It's fine if he doesn't use chakra frequently in the short term. Also, you can teach him how to use his senses."

After thinking for a moment, Kabuto said, "Or you can define a certain area and then report it to Lord Chiba. He will have a solution."

Kabuto vaguely remembered that Chiba and the Yamanaka family had researched a sensory synchronization technique.

That technique should be able to work with Yukimaru to find the Three-Tails.

As for Yukimaru's body.

Kabuto thought for a moment and said, "I'll go check on Yukimaru's condition and then prescribe some medicine to improve his health. If he takes the medicine for a while, he should get better."

"you……"

"Don't worry, we're now colleagues who are trusted by the adults. Why would we want to harm him?"

Dou was helpless.

He knew he had done a lot for Orochimaru, so it was normal that he wasn't trusted by Guren. Therefore, he wasn't angry, but just found it a little funny.

She was once Orochimaru's loyal subordinate, eager to become Orochimaru's new body, but after only a short time, Guren was changed by someone else.

She didn't seem to be much more loyal than I was.

Yakushi Kabuto chuckled inwardly.

He examined Yukimaru's body and prescribed a proper medicine that would be enough to make up for Yukimaru's deficiency. However, Yukimaru's biggest problem was his abnormal chakra.

The body and chakra are out of balance.

To resolve this, one must either seal a portion of the chakra or further enhance physical strength.
