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

He wasn't quite sure.

After a moment's thought, Kakashi said, "Mr. Kiyota, do you have anything belonging to the target? Preferably something he keeps close to his body."

"Have."

Kiyota Shin removed the blood-stained pieces of clothing.

Chapter 45 isn't big enough? Just lower the image quality!

Kakashi took the piece of clothing, then bit his finger to draw a spell, followed by hand seals—

Spiritism!

A dog wearing a headband appeared in the middle of the procedure.

"What kind of mission is it this time?"

“Parker, help me find him.”

Kakashi handed the cloth over.

“I could smell it from a great distance.”

Parker looked disgusted.

The fishy smell is too strong!

The overwhelming smell of blood was so strong that there was no need to get close; it sniffed once and then headed off in one direction.

"Follow."

"As expected of Lord Kakashi."

not to mention.

"Kazusa, can you use your transformation technique on me so we can switch identities?"

Chiba said, "I feel that his target is not an enemy named Yuichi, but Kakashi-sensei."

"Kakashi-sensei and I are both prepared. Although I don't know what Kakashi-sensei's preparations are, it doesn't stop us from switching identities."

"Has a discovery been made?"

Kazusa's expression changed.

As a samurai, Kiyota Shin was not good at sensing and probing.

"Ah."

She stayed by his side every day, protecting his safety, but Chiba quietly fell behind.

"What should I do?"

"I've read the book a few times; it's not difficult."

"But you can't transform, so what about your voice?"

During this time, her chakra control has improved significantly, and her transformation technique is even more perfect. Most Jonin probably wouldn't be able to spot the flaws.

"it is good."

The fact that the other party dared to attack a Jonin like Kakashi means they must have had a backup plan.

Kiyota Shin quickly followed, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

A figure appeared beside the tree.

"Chiba-kun".

Kazusa transformed into Chiba's appearance and used a transformation technique to help Chiba change into her own form.

Kazusa didn't hesitate. "Then I'll chase after him to avoid arousing his suspicion."

"Not yet, but this guy's acting strange,"

Chiba nodded slightly, then walked to the position before Kazusa, using the forest to conceal his location and his aura.

Kiyota Shin saw that "Chiba" had returned to the group, but his aura had disappeared. He frowned and asked, "Kakashi-sama, is your group missing a member? Could he have been attacked by Yuichi?"

"No, she's good at hiding, and she's already in hiding."

Kakashi explained.

He guessed that Chiba might have switched identities with Kazusa, so he was covering for them.

Kiyota Shin said worriedly, "But she's only a genin, can she handle it?"

"I'm still here."

A voice sounded.

Then, the leaves above stirred.

Kazusa was secretly shocked.

When Chiba imitated her voice, it was almost identical, and if she hadn't spoken earlier, she wouldn't have noticed his location at all.

The reason I can perfectly conceal my aura is because of my bloodline limit.

What is he?

and.

She remembered that Chiba's transformation technique was very poor, almost to the point of being unable to use it, so how could he imitate the voice so perfectly?

I was just as surprised as she was, but I quickly came to terms with it.

A genius like Chiba, aside from things he simply can't master due to a lack of talent, can basically master everything in a short time.

You can imitate voices without ninjutsu.

The difference between geniuses and ordinary people...

She sighed inwardly.

"I see. Then I can rest assured. The enemy is very cunning. My two companions were injured by him when they were alone and attacked with traps and poison."

"Let's go, catching up with them is the priority."

Kakashi picked up the conversation, stopping Kiyota Shin's rambling explanations.

They chased after him from the town, heading north.

This location...

"The enemy is heading towards the Land of Iron?"

"What a cunning fellow! If it weren't for you, I would never have imagined he would dare to return to the Land of Iron!"

Kiyota Shin's timely anger.

Chiba observed his surroundings from the treetop, maximizing his sensory range, but he soon discovered that even at his maximum, he couldn't seem to detect any enemies.

Damn!

Is the range too low?

Chiba walked along, lost in thought.

His sensory abilities, derived from feedback from the Bodhi seed, were exceptionally effective, providing him with numerous advantages in creating ninjutsu. However, they had one drawback—

The level of precision is very high, but the range is not large. Even with the significant improvement in mental strength, it only covers one or two kilometers.

Ok?

Is there any way to increase the range?

Chiba started trying to come up with a solution on his own.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

He quickly came up with a possibility.

Based on my experience playing games in my previous life, what should I do if the game can't handle my character?

Lower the image quality!

By reducing the pixel count, image quality, and special effects, you can run things that were previously unplayable.

Perception range...

Could we draw an analogy?

Chiba started trying it out as soon as he thought of it.

Perception ability is not complicated. According to his understanding, apart from non-scientific products of bloodline limits such as the Byakugan, a normal person's perception ability is actually a manifestation of the use of mental power.

and so.

People skilled in illusion often also have good perception, because they know how to use it.

Chiba couldn't learn genjutsu, but thanks to the Third Hokage's vast library, he did study mental power for a while, although he didn't manage to create any ninjutsu...

However, it is still possible to make minor adjustments to perception through mental power.

His attempt was soon successful.

His perception range increased by two times, but at the cost of the information he could perceive becoming more blurred.

Previously, at least their specific location and information could be sensed, but now, even in Chiba's perception, the four of them are just a blurry mass of chakra energy.

It's like the pixels are blurred, turning the whole thing into a mosaic.

"Phew, even though it's become like this, I don't need to be too precise. I just need to know if there are any enemies. This level is enough for me."

Chiba slowly exhaled.

Then, his expression became complicated.

After increasing his perception range, he detected five clusters of chakra energy.

Besides Kakashi and his group, there was also a group of four people following them, about four kilometers away. Although their specific situation was unknown, judging from their route, they were likely Kakashi's hidden agents.

What about the other three parties?
