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

This is similar to Konoha's Fireball Jutsu.

It's only a C-rank ninjutsu, but it's incredibly powerful and has a wide coverage area, making it invincible on the battlefield.

however.

Now both of Chiba's underwear have been pulled off.

Kazusa felt that if she were a Kirigakure ninja, she would definitely want to kill Chiba with a single blow, but Chiba was now one of her own, and she just felt...

"Good job!"

"Hmm, I wonder how things are going with Tenten and the others. With Kakashi-sensei around, they shouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage."

Chiba took out the sealing scroll.

Kazusa tensed up instantly.

A rhinoceros dog, no bigger than a newborn puppy, appeared before them.

"Chiba, do you mean the Sage of Six Paths created them and then died?"

The rhinoceros nodded.

"Well, but I can let you out first to talk."

After a long while, it slowly said, "We were not created to protect humanity; there should be some difference between the two."

Chiba pondered for a moment and then asked, "Did the Sage of Six Paths say anything to you?"

"I don't know, he never said that."

"of course not."

Saiken thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, but not long after that, he sent us to various places in the ninja world. Later I heard he died."

Chiba shook his head, then unsealed the scroll and released a portion of his chakra.

After a few seconds, Saiken said, "It seems he only said one sentence: 'Let us protect the ninja world.'"

Chiba smiled and said, "Kazusa, you're thinking too much from the perspective of the human race. In reality, the tailed beasts are not human, so why should we consider the survival of humans?"

Chiba pondered for a moment, then said, "After the Sage of Six Paths created you by splitting his chakra, did his own condition change? For example, did he age noticeably?"

This is a scroll containing the chakra of the Tailed Beasts!

Are we still in Kirigakure?

"But……"

"what?"

"..."

Kazusa hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Kazusa didn't understand. Wasn't the promise to protect the ninja world?

Chiba thought for a moment and said, "Protecting the ninja world must mean something higher. This should involve a secret, and this secret is very likely related to the Sage of Six Paths creating the moon back then."

"What to say?"

Kazusa was taken aback, unable to quite understand for a moment.

"I know you don't know, I'm just making a reasonable guess."

Chiba had been talking inside Utaka's body for a while and already knew its personality, so she said to herself, "I heard from Kurama that you were all created by the Sage of Six Paths?"

The rhinoceros shook its head.

She couldn't help but say, "This is Kirigakure, wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to just release the tailed beast chakra?"

"um, yes."

"..."

It looked around and then looked at Chiba.

The rhinoceros dog had nothing to say.

The rhinoceros dog pondered for a while.

Not a moment later.

Chiba looked over: "Just say what you want to say. Saiken's personality is relatively docile, unlike Kurama and Shukaku."

Kazusa couldn't help but interject.

"Significant aging?"

It remained silent for a few seconds. Since its expression was unreadable, Chiba couldn't tell what it was thinking, but judging from its emotional state, it seemed relatively calm.

"Uh, okay, I'm very sorry, but I still want to say that the Tailed Beasts themselves are the root of the turmoil. Although they make the major powers wary of each other, no country has actually stopped fighting because of the Tailed Beasts."

More should be found in memories.

Kazusa said, "On the contrary, for small countries, the tailed beasts seem to make their situation even more difficult."

"Protect the ninja world?"

The rhinoceros remained silent.

Chiba's guess was so astonishing that even she couldn't resist her curiosity.

Chiba nodded: "Yes, I have a guess, could you please take a look?"

"it is good."

The rhinoceros nodded.

As expected of the gentlest of the tailed beasts.

Chiba secretly praised him.

If it were a different Nine Lamas, they might already be impatient by now.

Kazusa looked over as well, a look of curiosity on her face. Then, she heard a shocking guess—

"Would all the tailed beasts combined form a new life form?"

"what?"

The rhinoceros dog stared blankly for a long time before finally chuckling and saying, "We were always together when we were kids, and we never had the situation you described."

"You were originally chakra. In fact, the Sage of Six Paths created your bodies and souls using chakra. What if the creature you synthesized had its own body?"

Chiba smiled and explained, "Of course, I have this guess mainly because the Toad Sage, who was from the same era as the Sage of Six Paths, is still alive."

"That doesn't prove anything, does it?"

The rhinoceros couldn't understand.

"The Sage of Six Paths is extremely powerful. Judging from his title, he should have mastered Sage Mode. Even if he cannot live forever, he should not die quickly."

Chiba glanced at the sky as he spoke, "Hmm? Thinking about it this way, could the Sage of Six Paths be watching us from the moon?"

"puff."

The rhinoceros couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I don't think so."

"That's true. The fact that he's been watching without making a move shows that he has no intention of interfering in the ninja world's affairs. But what if I or someone else did something?"

Chiba continued, "In any case, the nine tailed beasts must be hiding a huge secret."

So what are you going to do?

The rhinoceros's tone carried a hint of wariness.

Chiba shook his head: "It's not about what I want to do, but what the Akatsuki wants to do. Their goal is to collect all the Tailed Beasts. I'm thinking from their perspective now."

"Oh."

The rhinoceros dog squatted to one side and stopped talking.

As for Kassa.

She just felt that Chiba was very high-class now, and she couldn't understand a lot of what he was saying.

In the evening, Tenten returned with Kakashi.

She looked reluctant, as if she wanted to stay there a little longer. Kakashi explained their situation to her.

Kirigakure is very kind-hearted.

Perhaps out of fear of Chiba and Kakashi's strength, the ninjas were very cooperative and chatted happily with the ninja craftsmen every day after arriving at their place.

Afterwards, the two sides exchanged their core technologies. Tenten and Shinobu also talked for a long time, while Kakashi and Chojuro listened in.

Kakashi could understand some of it.

Chojuro was completely baffled and couldn't understand anything. Everything was a mystery to him. Later, Tenten even forged a sword on the spot to demonstrate to him.

Overall, it was a very successful technical exchange meeting, without any other factors involved.

The next day, Tian Tian went there again.

Compared to technical exchanges, the exchange of ninjutsu in Kirigakure was rather slow, and it wasn't until the third day that Mei Terumi came to visit again.

Then, she took out two scrolls: "The spells you want are all written on them. The other scroll contains some insights and notes on barrier spells."

Chiba didn't reach out, but instead took out two scrolls from his own ninja tool pouch.

The two sides exchanged their items.

Mei Terumi took them and opened one of them first.

This is the "sonic detection technique" used to detect White Zetsu.

She read it carefully from beginning to end.

Although it was just a ninjutsu, Chiba wrote it in great detail, even including all the ideas for improvement and advancement. The scroll was filled with writing on an entire page.

After reading it, her mind was in complete chaos, and it took her a long time to gradually come to terms with it.

This technique...

It's not that difficult, but Chiba's ability to write out the functions and techniques of all areas is truly commendable.

If Hidden Mist Ninjas can master this technique, and combine it with Hidden Mist Technique and Silent Assassination Technique, their actual combat ability might even be improved.
