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

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Kakashi. I'll take care of the rest. Keep this information confidential. Seal that guy in the Forest of Death for now, and we'll talk about him when Chiba returns."

"it is good."

……

The distant border of the Land of Fire.

Chiba disembarked by boat, temporarily storing the six tailed beasts in his shadow clones and the Thunder Beast. He then rode the Thunder Beast all the way from the border to Konoha.

As for Karin and the others, they were allowed to return on their own for the time being.

Bai Jue!

Chiba never expected that Konoha had already developed a sonic detection technique and had successfully detected the presence of White Zetsu, which Kakashi captured by activating Sage Mode.

What a surprise!

Including the three tails, this short period of time has been incredibly fruitful.

"By the way, when you arrive in Konoha, don't go to the Forest of Death. I will arrange another temporary place for you to stay."

"hiss!"

Thunder Beast responded with a sentence.

Currently, it is a "Dominator" level parasitic insect, and it absorbs a large amount of Sage Chakra every day, making its combat power extremely astonishing.

The claws may not be able to suppress it.

therefore……

For the time being, Chiba does not intend to let them meet.

I'm struggling to keep up with the daily writing pace, so I'll take a break and think things through for a while, updating twice a day. Please forgive me.

Chapter 270 You call this a parasitic worm?

"Fizz!"

As the Thunder Beast approached the sky above Konoha, it suddenly let out a sharp screech, its chakra surged, bone spikes exploded from its sides, and its entire body exuded a violent aura.

Chiba sensed its surroundings and patted its head.

"What's with the anger? This is Konoha, everyone here is one of us, so control yourself!"

"..."

The Thunder Beast silently put away the bone spikes it had blasted out.

Chiba patted its body, signaling it to land.

A moment later, a squad appeared around him as he landed, led by none other than Yamashiro Aoba.

As a special Jonin, Yamashiro Aoba was primarily responsible for support and reconnaissance, but recently his duties have taken a slight turn—

From its initial combat squad, it gradually evolved into a team primarily focused on raising crows and ninja birds, with patrol and surveillance as secondary roles.

With such a generous reward, everyone's spirits soared, and they immediately became highly motivated.

"Thanks for your hard work."

result.

"Ugh!"

"I am Chiba, but it's normal for you to be on guard. Let me think, how's your training in the Flame Bullet Technique going? I remember you learned it, right?"

Chiba returned the greeting, and then led the Thunder Beast along the road outside the city towards the Dark Side base.

Haiyi said seriously, "Don't worry about the source of the reward. If the village doesn't have enough, I'll personally make up the difference out of my own pocket!"

"Starting today, everyone will learn sonic detection techniques. Also, bring up any improvement plans or ideas you have. As long as they are helpful for our intelligence gathering, I will reward you all."

Yamanaka Inoichi's voice could be heard from afar, "Last time we were invaded by Kazuma and his group, and this time we've been messed up by some unknown thing. We can't go on like this!"

Although the strength of the opposing side proved to be a factor, Yamanaka Inoichi still felt that the intelligence department also bore a great responsibility. Chiba arrived just in time to hear him reprimanding the enemy.

Yamashiro Aoba glanced at it from the side.

"Chiba?"

Is this a parasite?

He couldn't help but glance at his teammates—

This familiar feeling, this breathtaking, unimaginable creativity—it's so true, the person in front of me is undoubtedly Chiba.

Yamanaka Inoichi is still at work.

"The village spends money to support us in the hope that we can bring stability to the village, but recently we have failed in our duty!"

The night is deep.

The woman's family had no idea that parasites could grow like this.

"Yes!"

Hai's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and grabbed Chiba's hand. "You're back! That's great! You're so resourceful, come up with a solution for me. This time we really embarrassed ourselves."

This time, the voice was even louder.

Its body was as robust as an ox, its bony armor was exaggerated beyond belief, and its fleshy wings, which had just spread out to a length of two or three meters...

Chiba revealed some private information that probably only a small portion of people knew, and then pointed to the Thunder Beast, "Don't be fooled by its appearance, it's actually a parasitic insect."

Yamashiro Aoba nodded slightly: "Lord Chiba."

He hasn't gotten his hands on the White Zetsu yet, but he has to figure out how to deal with similar enemies, otherwise what will happen if this happens again in the future?

It is a disgrace for someone involved in intelligence work to have their home raided.

He once thought it was some kind of spirit beast.

Although Yamashiro Aoba could vaguely identify Chiba, he couldn't determine whether the other person was someone else in disguise. He pulled out a kunai and held a signal flare in his other hand.

Yamanaka Inoichi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Yes!!!"

Everyone was silent for a few seconds, then nodded in unison.

Recently, Tsunade finally transferred him directly to the Guard Corps, making him the vice-captain.

Going back to his own home, Tsunade would probably sense he'd be visiting late at night, so it's better to go to the Anbu first and settle the Thunder Beast.

This incident left him in a cold sweat. He had never imagined that someone could bypass his senses and aura detection. If he hadn't been testing the newly developed sonic detector, he would never have been able to find the other party.

"who are you?"

"Senior Inoichi, there's no need to sigh. If you can spot your opponent the first time, you can spot them a second time."

One of the team members was a member of the Aburame family. He was usually taciturn, but at this moment, a deep shock appeared on his silent expression.

As the head of the intelligence department, it's absurd that Konoha could be infiltrated and its intelligence gathered without anyone noticing.

It is not a species at all.

Hai Yi returned to his office and let out a long sigh.

"?????"

Obviously.

"It's alright, capturing him will give us a lot of information."

"That's true, but I'm afraid we won't be able to dig up any information. Besides, if this weren't a test of ninjutsu, who knows when we would have found out?"

Hai Yi sighed, then leaned closer and whispered, "Judging from his unscrupulous behavior, this is definitely not the first time. I wonder what kind of information was stolen from him before."

"We need to delve deeper into sound wave detection, and we also need to combine it with chakra detection to prevent the opponent from using transformation techniques in conjunction with stealth abilities."

Chiba thought for a moment, and then gave his little suggestion, "In addition, it would be best to record all the underground sound wave feedback status around Konoha as data."

"What does that mean? I understand!"

At first, Haiyi couldn't understand it, since he hadn't learned sound wave detection, but he understood the principles of ninjutsu. After a little thought, he understood the reason.

The reason we were able to spot the other party this time was because they weren't on guard.

but.

What if they use even more covert methods next time?

If you don't pay attention to every single detail, the other party might change their approach, and the sound wave detection might become ineffective. But you must remember all the sound wave detection results from underground...

As long as there is an increase in matter, sound waves will definitely produce different feedback.

but.

This level requires extremely high testing precision; ninjutsu and ninja techniques alone are certainly not enough, and some ninja tools are also needed.

Hai's eyes darted around, and he reached out again to grab Chiba, but Chiba nimbly dodged.

"Senior Haiyi, we're old friends, so just say what's on your mind."

"Cough cough."

Haiyi coughed lightly and said apologetically, "I know that Tenten is very skilled in ninja tools and has a lot of ideas. Could you help me communicate with her?"

"Go and tell them yourself. It's not like Tian Tian doesn't want to help."

Chiba seemed a little confused.

With someone as easy to communicate with as Tian Tian, ​​and who is in charge of forging some of the village's ninja tools, why would she need to find her own path?

Hai Yi remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he sighed softly, "I've been saying lately that I need to focus on training, so I don't plan to make ninja tools for the time being."

"Oh right, the Chunin Exams are coming up soon, I should really focus on training, I'll deal with it later."

Chiba quickly changed his attitude.

Hai Yi squinted, looking rather helpless.
