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

At that point in time, Chiba would not hesitate to eliminate the Three-Tails—

The other tailed beasts are all under the control of the ninja villages, and killing them would have a huge impact, but the Three-Tails is still in a wild state and is not a concern at all.

It is the easiest tailed beast to kill.

It wouldn't be a problem to kill the Jinchuriki at that point.

"No, it would be easy to expose us if we took them back directly."

Further experiments are needed.

He really didn't expect that she would take the initiative to speak up this time.

He is mainly afraid of Hei Jue.

"I read in a book that tailed beasts can be reborn and should also have relatively strong intelligence, right? Why does the Three-Tails feel more like an ordinary wild beast to me?"

While Kirigakure is troublesome, Chiba isn't too worried.

Chiba shook his head.

"what happened?"

White Zetsu are very good at stealth, making them extremely difficult to detect. I wonder how Konoha's research on sonic detection techniques is going.

Chiba looked at Karin.

She was far away from the battle and didn't know that Chiba had finished. She thought that the Three-Tails had finally broken free of its restraints and escaped back to the seabed.

After the three-tailed creature lurked to the bottom of the sea, the thick fog on the surface of the sea gradually dissipated, and the sea returned to calm, looking even better than before.

"Ok?"

The battle took a while, but the losses weren't significant, and when I looked up, it was still noon.

The six three-tailed beasts were sealed away, curled up as if dead, and were only about the size of a sea turtle. It was impossible to tell that they were tailed beasts.

It's extremely difficult to catch Black Zetsu.

On one side are the ANBU ninjas from Kirigakure.

Well now.

Researching acoustic detection is simple; it can be done in a few days.

He not only separated the tailed beast's consciousness and chakra, but also attempted to shatter and reassemble its spirit—

"Capturing the White Zetsu is of utmost urgency!"

We can put it to good use for now, and as for what happens later, we can consider it after the Akatsuki starts plundering the Tailed Beasts.

"Lord Chiba."

but.

Chiba is not yet certain whether this impact will affect normal people.

Chiba shook his head.

This damage is relatively small for a tailed beast, and the Three-Tails' mental consciousness is likely weak because it has only been resurrected for a few years.

The last battle proved that Chiba's current abilities are insufficient to detect the existence of Black and White Zetsu.

"No need, the matter has been taken care of, we can prepare to go back."

Chiba had a bit of a headache.

Although Kirigakure is not as strong as it was at its peak recently, it still has some basic spies and informants.

Back on shore, Guren supported Yukimaru and looked at Chiba with some hesitation. But after a couple of seconds, she said, "Lord Chiba, should we have Yukimaru call it out again?"

but……

The restructuring is not difficult.

of course.

When it merged into the consciousness body, a small accident occurred, which seemed to have a significant impact on the main body, causing the Three-Tails to be momentarily dazed.

It seems...

Fortunately, the underground parasitic insects had already made preparations in the Death Forest. If Black Zetsu and White Zetsu had come together, the parasitic insects would have known immediately.

She seemed to be very afraid of herself and didn't dare to communicate with herself. Although she made great progress during her time living in the Sound Village, she didn't make much progress in getting along with herself and basically didn't take the initiative to communicate.

"Lord Chiba, what should we do with these... uh, small tailed beasts? Should we just take them back?"

Karin was puzzled.

All those sealing books say that tailed beasts are intelligent, but the Three-Tails she encountered today is simply a disgrace to the tailed beasts, giving her a strong sense of utter despair.

Before Chiba could speak, Kurama couldn't help but retort, "Silly girl, of course it's because it hasn't been revived for many years after its death!"

"What do you mean?"

"The revival of tailed beasts also takes time. Generally speaking, they gather chakra to form consciousness in the first few years, and then their memories will slowly recover later."

Nine-Tails said calmly, "Three-Tails should have been resurrected not long ago."

"Oh, I see. Wait, is it alright for you to just tell me such an important secret like this?"

Karin then realized that the one who answered her wasn't Chiba, but the Nine-Tails, the tailed beast—

Even though it's just a clone, it's probably still sitting on the side of the tailed beast!

Nine-Tails looked at her with disdain, not appreciating her overreaction.

"You think this kid doesn't know about something as small as this?"

"Not at all, I only know a little bit, I certainly don't know as much as you, a living encyclopedia."

Chiba smiled and complimented him.

Nine-Tails appeared disdainful, but actually, a slight smile played on his lips, indicating that he was quite pleased.

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

Tsunade held the intelligence report, her expression slightly grave. She then nodded and said, "Understood. Have this technique quickly rolled out to all squads. We must ensure that each patrol squad has one or two members who have mastered the sonic detection technique."

"Yes!"

Moonlight Gale obeyed the order and left.

After the unit reverted to its function of training troops, Chiba remained in charge. However, Chiba has been elusive lately, and he can't be found anywhere in the village, let alone at the training base.

The training troops have always been led by Moonlight Gale.

Tsunade wielded the "Sonic Wave Detection Technique," along with the strange and unusual feedback detected by the Anbu after mastering it.

Although I'm not entirely sure, it seems to be some kind of humanoid creature.

It appears and disappears intermittently, making it difficult for those in the shadows to determine whether it is a person or simply a detection error.

She thought for a moment and then asked Shizune to go find Kakashi.

After a while.

Kakashi arrived at the Hokage Building from the research institute.

"Kakashi, take a look at this report."

"Yes."

Kakashi was unaware of what was happening, as Shizune seemed completely oblivious.

He reported the results.

As he looked further ahead, his expression gradually became serious.

Sound feedback resembling a humanoid shape?

"Lady Tsunade, regardless of whether it is human or not, we should treat it as a ninja, and through continued observation, we should be able to find out what it really is."

Kakashi asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Wait a little longer, it should come."

Tsunade, her expression grave, took back the intelligence scroll.

After waiting for a while, Uzuki Yugao rushed over from the Anbu. Before she could speak, Tsunade asked, "Has it moved?"

"They've moved! With our Byakugan probing from multiple angles, we can basically confirm that the opponent possesses chakra and must have used some kind of secret technique!"

"I gonna go see."

Kakashi got up, preparing to jump out of the window.

Tsunade quickly stopped him: "Kakashi, are you sure you can handle this?"

"should be no problem."

Kakashi thought for a moment. He had recently stored up a lot of chakra, enough to use many large-scale ninjutsu. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to catch up with this guy.

“Alright, we must catch up with him. We need to find out who is spying on our Konoha. I will have the research department cooperate with you. If there is any danger, we can go to the Forest of Death.”

"Yes!"

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, he vanished from the office.

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table: "Have all the Hyuga clan members activate their Byakugan and cooperate with our ninjas to catch this rat!"

"Yes!"

Both Uzuki Yugao and Shizune answered at the same time.

The entire village of Konoha sprang into action.

……

Underground, White Zetsu moved forward.

but.

A few seconds later, it sensed countless insects ahead.

"Why are there so many insects underground in this forest? It's almost become an insect nest. Doesn't Konoha care?"
