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

"what's the situation?"

Hai Yi rushed over quickly.

He thought Chiba had started fighting, but then he saw the bewildered Sealing Team and Chiba's unusually serious expression...

"What happened?"

"Just now……"

"It's nothing, I might have misread it."

Chiba said calmly, "I'll take it with me to study it first, and then return it later."

"it is good."

Haiyi knew that Chiba must have discovered something, but it was inconvenient to say it here. He just didn't sense that the fifth layer of the barrier had been triggered.

This……

Has the barrier been broken again?

Hai suddenly had a headache.

Chiba left with White Zetsu, but did not deactivate Sage Mode, and his mental state remained highly focused.

He was "listening" to the sounds around him.

When Chiba left the Anbu, he still had a faint feeling that Black Zetsu was still by his side, but after leaving the Anbu, that feeling gradually disappeared.

Until near the Forest of Death, he finally confirmed with regret—

Black Zetsu gave up.

"pity."

"what happened?"

Kakashi was training in the forest, recovering the chakra he had previously depleted.

"Found it, but not completely. I'm not sure if it's magic or a kind of creature."

Chapter 274 Kakashi: I vouch for Sasuke!

"What do you mean?"

Kakashi was puzzled.

With Chiba's perception, eyesight, and judgment, he was unable to discern the other party's origin?

Aren't you omnipotent?

Kakashi didn't get the answer, but his eyes conveyed the same meaning.

Chiba put White Zetsu down first, and then said, "The other party is somewhat like the shadow of the Nara clan. It can blend into the darkness and shadows, and ordinary perception cannot detect it."

"Including activating Sage Mode?"

Kakashi was a little surprised.

He had activated Sage Mode before, so he understood how much improvement could be achieved in various aspects after activating that state.

To put it bluntly.

and.

Not only do we need to collect the tailed beasts, but we also need to try to synthesize the Ten-Tails' chakra.

How could he not detect Black Zetsu?

The opponent's ability to conceal themselves is simply too terrifying.

"Fortunately, I could vaguely sense his location this time, and although he is very good at hiding, his combat ability should be average, otherwise I wouldn't need to be so careful."

"As for ninjutsu, his control range is too far, and our barrier can detect chakra fluctuations. If he really used ninjutsu to control it, we would have discovered it long ago."

Kakashi had no idea that such methods existed in the world.

A memory was channeled from his palm into Kakashi's mind through chakra. After a short while, Kakashi nodded, indicating that he had received the memory shared by Chiba.

Kakashi's expression turned serious: "You managed to attack him in the end?"

Although he is a copy ninja and has mastered a thousand different ninjutsu, abilities like Black Zetsu are far beyond his capabilities.

then.

It's hard.

Chiba pointed out the key point.

His best plan would definitely be to stop Obito and Black Zetsu from reviving Madara Uchiha.

but.

There's bad news too.

the most important is.

Even a ninja who is not good at sensory perception can transform into a sensory ninja after activating Sage Mode, accurately judging the opponent's chakra movements.

This proves that Black Zetsu is not confident either, and he probably won't dare to come directly to Konoha for some time to come. Konoha will be relatively safe in the short term.

Even if Nagato was brain-dead and wanted to be sent, Black Zetsu and Obito, knowing their own strength, wouldn't let him attack Konoha alone.

"No, but I saw him. You can take a look at the details."

It's basically impossible to solve Nagato's problem like in the anime.

I pondered it for a while.

Black Zetsu didn't dare to come over directly and disrupt White Zetsu.

The Akatsuki, Black Zetsu, and Obito would not allow Konoha to develop unchecked, so Konoha would likely be their first target when they take action later.

Kakashi and Chiba talked for a while, and then Kakashi went to study the White Zetsu together.

Chiba suddenly blurted out a sentence.

Black Zetsu clearly doesn't possess that kind of skill.

but.

The other party isn't Orochimaru, yet they insist on showing off their Edo Tensei in front of the Third Hokage.

It would be very useful whether used to deal with Pain or Obito later, and who knows, it might even be useful for researching the Six Paths Sage Mode.

After a few seconds of silence, Kakashi sighed, "This kind of enemy is really troublesome!"

Chiba was already incredibly strong in this area, and he'll only become even more amazing after activating Sage Mode.

That shadow?

"It's really impossible to determine. It looks like some kind of ninjutsu, but we can't rule out a life form as you mentioned."

Chiba settled the white Zetsu in place, then reached out his hand.

Ninjutsu requires chakra, especially long-range control, which requires chakra connection, unless one can directly transfer chakra using special tools like Nagato.

Tailed Beasts...

His precognitive knowledge of the original work is, for him now, primarily used to allow him to know his opponents' information in advance, such as using the original plot to outmaneuver them in large-scale battles...

He remained silent for a few seconds.

Chiba went through the process in his mind, and then couldn't help but sigh softly.

Chiba only needs to convince Kakashi and Tsunade that Black Zetsu has indeed entered Konoha's territory in his true form; nothing else is something he needs to worry about.

Kakashi couldn't come up with a solution for the moment.

"Kakashi-sensei, would you be interested in transplanting it?"

"what?"

Kakashi paused for a second.

White blood cells?

He didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a moment, he understood what Chiba meant.

According to Danzo and Orochimaru's research, Hashirama cells can alleviate the burden of the Sharingan on the body.

Leukocytes are less invasive to the body than interstitial cells.

In this way...

With the Sharingan as a balancing force, if he were to transplant White Zetsu cells, he could increase his own chakra, and the burden on the Sharingan might even be further reduced under this balancing effect.

Kakashi was somewhat tempted.

With the Yin Seal, he can now use Sage Mode, but each use only lasts for a few minutes before he is paralyzed for at least half a month.

basically……

Unless his chakra is fully stored, he can't perform missions or lead teams, making him seem like a secret weapon of Konoha.

If leukemia cells are transplanted, at least the burden on oneself will not be so heavy.

Kakashi considered it seriously for a few seconds.

"Is it possible?"

"We'll have to ask Lady Tsunade about that. She may not have been studying the First Hokage's cells for very long, but her understanding of them should be superior to mine."

Chiba hasn't studied medical ninjutsu for a long time.

Even if he continues his research, he might not be as skilled as Tsunade. After all, Tsunade has dedicated decades to her research; the effort and time they've invested are on completely different levels.

In the medical field, it's not enough to just be smart and quick to understand; you also need a lot of clinical experience.

He was just giving Kakashi a direction.

If Kakashi wants to improve himself in a short time, White Zetsu cells are definitely better than Hashirama cells.
