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

Its combat and defensive capabilities are terrifying. If used well, it can be a formidable weapon, but if used poorly, it may harm one's own teammates.

At this moment, the parasitic insect was looking at Chiba with fear and wariness.

It could sense Chiba's murderous intent.

"Lord Chiba..."

"What about other parasites?"

“I released it on the mountain behind. If I hadn’t released it, it would have eaten all the parasites.”

Jugo was somewhat worried. "But it doesn't seem like it's going berserk yet, and I don't know how to contact you."

"Let me think about it..."

Chiba frowned.

"hiss!"

The parasitic insect bared its fangs and claws, seemingly eager to attack, but its eyes fixed on Chiba, it gradually crouched down.

The opponent is very strong!

Can't beat it.

It lay on the ground, too afraid to move, as if offering its neck for slaughter.

Chiba couldn't help but chuckle: "You were able to tell that I'm very strong, and you also know how to play the victim, which shows you're incredibly intelligent. Can you guarantee you won't go berserk later?"

"hiss!"

It let out a long cry.

Jugo hesitated for a moment: "How about I take it with me? Maybe I can suppress its ferocity."

"You've mastered the power of the Immortal Body?"

"It's not perfect, but following your training method, I'm much better than before. At least I can release my chakra before going berserk."

"That's what Shigeo said."

Chiba remained silent for a moment.

This still hasn't solved the problem, has it?

He unleashed his Sage Chakra, and the Parasite Worm cried out in ecstasy. However, without such power, it would have been impossible for it to grow so large in such a short time.

Chiba pondered for a moment and said, "Let's observe it for a while. If we really can't control it, we can just seal it away like a tailed beast."

It's so fat, it's a real waste to slaughter it.

He just thought of another way out: if it really can't maintain its rationality, next time it comes, he'll seal its consciousness and body directly and use it as a big battery.

If needed in battle, summoning spirits to act as mad dogs and disrupt the battle wouldn't be bad.

but……

He was a little worried that Jugo would turn around and go on a rampage with the parasitic bug.

When that time comes, who will stop it?

Karin?

Chiba thought for a while and finally created a shadow clone.

"I'm sealing a shadow clone here that's normally closed off from consciousness. If you and it both go berserk, this clone will automatically activate."

"that would be great!"

Shigeo was overjoyed.

With Chiba's shadow clone present, he no longer needed to worry about going berserk or the parasitic insects being killed.

This parasite had been with him for a while, and they had developed some feelings for each other.

"Do you have a name?"

"No, after all, these are your parasites..."

"Then let's call it Thunder Beast."

Chiba interrupted Jugo and directly bestowed the name from its previous life upon it.

Thunder beast!

Its size and strength fully justify its name.

The parasitic insect probably knew it was alright, and happily "danced" over there, while gratefully kneeling and bowing to Chiba, displaying incredible spirituality.

"You'll come with me tomorrow to catch the Three-Tails."

"Yes!"

Shigeo agreed without any hesitation.

The next day, Chiba, along with Karin and Jugo, set off from Otogakure to the location of the Three-Tails, which Kabuto had discovered.

Karin was a little curious.

She thought she could go with Chiba, but unexpectedly, there was also Jugo and Mushiko.

but……

This insect is huge, almost the size of a regular cow.

Karin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

then.

"Fizz!"

The Thunder Beast roared.

Karin was startled and almost used a sealing technique to deal with it.

"Sorry, it's like this when it's not familiar with you yet. It'll be fine after a while."

Shigeo quickly apologized.

Karin shook her head.

In her perception...

This insect is terrifying, especially when it was chirping just now. She had the feeling that she was being watched by a wild beast, as if she would be pierced by its "scythe" at any moment.

It's better to stay away!

Karin followed behind Chiba, not daring to get any closer.

The Thunder Beast followed at a leisurely pace.

Its wings have evolved into bony carapaces, but it's not entirely impossible for it to fly.

According to it, it can flexibly adjust its bone structure into wings, somewhat like Sasuke's cursed seal state, allowing it to fly for a short period of time.

I just don't know how strong they are.

Chapter 266 Nine-Tailed Fox: Is it easy to just show off?

Is the Three-Tailed Beast at sea?

Karin sat in the boat, observing her surroundings with some curiosity.

Shigeo remained silent and did not speak.

Chiba looked around and nodded: "It is indeed at sea. It is located in the harbor of an island nation. Guren and Yukimaru have already located it."

The ship moved forward silently.

These are ships arranged by the Sound Village, and the boatmen on board are subordinates left behind by Kabuto Yakushi, so they are relatively reliable.

Chiba closed his eyes and meditated on the ship, pondering how to deal with the Three-Tails later.

Defeating the Three-Tails is not difficult.

Whether it's using the exploding tags or infiltrating the opponent's body with parasitic insects to absorb chakra, both methods can, to some extent, resolve the Three-Tails.

"Hey, if you catch the Three-Tails, are you going to seal it away or what?"

As the leader of the tailed beasts, even though it was just a clone, seeing its kind about to be captured, it didn't feel any sense of shared sorrow, but instead gloated...

Then, its voice rang out again from Chiba's body.

Using some sarcastic or ironic language from my past life shouldn't be a big problem, since Nine-Tailed Fox won't notice.

"According to my previous idea, I would definitely create a clone to prevent the main body from being harmed, but just now I was thinking about whether to move it or seal it away."

Others would not be so kind.

The Nine-Tails' clone no longer minded hiding inside Chiba's body.

What are your goals?

Initially, Chiba only intended to create some clones of the Three-Tails and keep them in his possession to prepare for synthesizing the Ten-Tails' chakra, but now...

No wonder nobody respects you!

He muttered to himself.

"Yeah."

It's not flattery or bootlicking.

The Nine-Tails clone was unusually frank: "It is a tailed beast, but one of my parts is a clone, and besides, compared to the others, you at least have a chance to survive."

Just take the Ox-Demon Doppelganger as an example—

Chiba knew who Nine-Tails was referring to.

"explain."

Before Chiba, no one cared about the tailed beasts' thoughts. No one thought about whether the tailed beasts wanted to choose that kind of life. Their fate depended entirely on the orders of humans.

Shukaku had long since pledged allegiance to Chiba, and secretly wanted to see him make a fool of himself; Kurama wished he could be sealed away.
