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

The fingertip technique can be changed instantly.

A seal to seal evil.

"what!"

A scream rang out, followed by a look of pain on Yuan Shi's face, but the one suffering even more was Bai Jue, who was lurking inside him.

It was forcibly pulled out.

After they appeared, a series of magical incantations were poured in to seal them away, and then—

Sealed Scroll!

All in one go.

Chiba quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Kakashi was examining the scene with his eyes closed when, the instant Chiba pulled out the White Zetsu, he vanished from the spot.

Master Yuan was panting heavily, his vital energy somewhat depleted.

Chiba said, "It absorbed your vital energy. You should rest for a while and recuperate for a week to recover."

"Thank you, thank you."

Master Yuan nodded.

Mei Terumi has somewhat come to her senses.

She could hardly believe it; something had really been lurking inside Yuan Shi's body. If it weren't for Qianye, she might not have been able to detect it at all.

Then now...

"Could there be others?"

"I don't know how many more there are, but there definitely are, otherwise Kakashi-sensei wouldn't have chased after them. By the way, you should also check this senior's person."

Chiba looked towards Bi.

Bi was shocked: "I want to investigate too? But how could I possibly be parasitized by something like that!"

"You mean it's normal for Elder Yuan Shi to be parasitized?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Bi blushed.

Although Master Yuan certainly didn't care, this question was still quite dangerous.

Mei Terumi looked at Midori: "Chiba-kun is already very generous to help you with the examination, what are you worried about? Are you afraid he will harm you?"

"Of course not. I'm very sorry, I apologize for what I said. Thank you for your help."

Bi bowed slightly, then stood in front of Chiba.

It's the same set again.

After the examination, a piece of white flesh also appeared on his body, but this time...

Chiba only managed to pull out a piece of flesh that was no longer human.

Is this a clone?

Terumi Mei was thoughtful.

The one on Yuan Shi's body was small but had a human-like appearance, while this one was completely made of flesh and blood.

To explain the differences between the two...

As Yuan Shi ages, his energy and perception decline significantly, making him less able to detect anything unusual about himself.

As a Jonin, Bi is much more perceptive.

Bi's face turned deathly pale.

"How could this be? It's impossible! I didn't sense the other person getting close at all!"

"If we could sense it, Konoha would have caught it long ago."

Chiba then placed the flesh and blood of the White Zetsu into the sealing scroll.

This White Zetsu is acting together with Black Zetsu, so it must be an individual that split off from the strongest one. The flesh and cells that split off from it might be somewhat different.

Terumi Mei wanted to speak but stopped.

She didn't know what white blood cells were, but instinctively felt they must be good things.

but.

How should she begin?

The other party discovered the person and also captured them.

If it weren't for Chiba, they might have been infiltrated without even realizing it, and the entire village might have become the enemy's backyard.

After that...

It's uncertain when you'll find yourself being manipulated.

and so.

From this perspective, they are not only not entitled to any benefits, but should also give some benefits to Chiba and Konoha.

Terumi Mei sighed inwardly, her feelings a mix of emotions.

They knew nothing about the Akatsuki, while Konoha had already gathered a lot of information and even devised a solution, making them far more advanced than the Akatsuki.

Also.

Konoha has the ability to research these things. While Chiba certainly played a significant role, others will undoubtedly benefit as well.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

A long time passed.

Kakashi climbed over the wall from below.

"How about it?"

"We caught two, and the rest escaped. Unlike before, this time they seem to be clones differentiated from flesh and blood cells."

Kakashi looked at Mei Terumi and said, "Mizukage, you may need to be careful from now on. They failed once, but who knows if they will try again?"

Mei Terumi nodded heavily.

Chiba and Kakashi didn't say anything, but their unspoken messages were full of implications—

Your Hidden Mist Village is no good.

If we don't exchange ninjutsu soon, Kirigakure will be infiltrated.

Why don't you hurry up and trade?

She kept imagining things, and then couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

because……

Kirigakure is indeed not very good. Even if they research and develop ninjutsu that can counter it, how can they guarantee that the ninjutsu they develop can actually detect White Zetsu?

They had no opportunity to test it, and Konoha's techniques were clearly already perfected, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to discover the existence of White Zetsu.

"Lord Mizukage, if there's nothing else, we'll go and meet up with our companions."

"You guys go wait next door for a bit, I need to go meet Chojuro and the others."

Mei Terumi nodded.

Before going to meet them, she needed to talk to Master Yuan to discuss whether or not to offer to exchange ninjutsu with Konoha.

Chiba once said that.

Konoha needs technology, not ninjutsu; if they were to offer ninjutsu in exchange, the price would be much higher.

however.

Without Konoha's techniques, they would have no way to stop the Akatsuki's infiltration.

After Chiba and Kakashi left, Genji said, "Let's switch."

Chapter 294 Maybe Madara isn't dead?

"Those people up ahead look like they're from Konoha and Kirigakure. Should we go up and kill them?"

"Don't make things complicated."

Obito glanced in that direction.

He could sense the chakra of those people; although it was not weak, it was not something that made him wary. However, there were two auras among them that made him very alert.

One is Chiba's chakra.

The other is parasites.

It's incredible that a mere parasitic insect can emit such a powerful chakra aura!

Also.

“When that guy ambushed me before, he used that technique you mentioned that completely eliminates one’s aura, but he hasn’t used that technique now…”

"If there's only one shadow clone, it shouldn't be able to stop us, right?"

Kisame was somewhat annoyed.

but.

"Hidden Cloud Village".

"Let's go."

"fail?"

Is this guy really Madara Uchiha?

Obito glanced at him, then chuckled, "That kid is indeed not weak. If I had my own eyes, dealing with him wouldn't be difficult."
