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

This ability had already shown signs of emerging during the last transformation.

but.

Recently, thanks to everyone's efforts, I have received increasingly stronger feedback, and my mental strength seems to have also increased.

"Come in, there's no one watching, and the door isn't closed."

"..."

Sasuke stood silently by the window for a few seconds, then quietly walked around to the door and entered through the main entrance.

He saw Chiba sitting at his desk writing calmly and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you know I was coming?"

"I have a rough idea."

Chiba nodded, gently blew on the ink to dry it, and said, "You went out to carry out a solo mission and didn't come back until the deadline. I could roughly guess what you were doing."

"..."

Sasuke didn't answer, but after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I've been inquiring about Itachi and Naruto lately."

"Investigate their intelligence? Good. If there's any information about Naruto, we can submit it directly to Konoha. As for Itachi, we'll keep that in mind."

Chiba looked at him as she spoke, "However, while you're gathering information about them, they'll also notice you."

Chapter 307 Tsunade: Teacher, I am the Hokage!

"dawn?"

Sasuke recalled for a moment and said, "I didn't realize I was being followed."

"What methods did you use to investigate?"

"Sound wave ninjutsu, Sharingan, sensory perception."

"not enough."

Chiba shook his head. "This ability is only good for dealing with ordinary guys, and you can't maintain a high level of focus on detection all the time. They might appear in unexpected places."

"for example?"

Sasuke clearly still didn't believe it.

Chiba smiled and said, "For example, you were once parasitized by a White Zetsu."

He didn't dislike Chiba's pointing fingers; he just felt he was still too weak. Chiba could sense it, but he was completely unaware and smug when the enemy got right in front of him.

"Theoretically?"

Upon closer reflection, this feeling feels very familiar.

"Impossible! I've been extremely cautious!"

He then took a deep breath and apologized: "I'm sorry, I got a little emotional just now..."

Sasuke's expression turned cold.

Chiba's words reminded him of the painful experience of being beaten as a child.

Sasuke choked for a moment, his thoughts, which he had just organized, instantly stalled.

Chiba smiled slightly.

Despicable!

He didn't even realize he was being parasitized...

Sasuke took it, opened it, and looked at it. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I don't know if it will work, but thank you. I will train hard."

Because it's true.

but.

I hadn't really paid much attention to this silent parasitic technique, and if the other party transformed into someone I didn't recognize, I really wouldn't be able to identify them.

"You need to strengthen yourself. You can ignore whether they are tracking you or not, but you must know whether they are tracking you."

"what?"

"This isn't something I can do just because I want to. I'm not you. I've already tried my best!"

This looks so damn familiar!

Sasuke's expression turned serious upon hearing this, but he wasn't too surprised.

Sasuke was feeling somewhat depressed.

He even thought he was doing well lately and could go out and try his luck, but when he came back, Chiba ruthlessly slapped him in the face.

It seems like that's what it felt like to be with Itachi back then...

Chiba then took out a sealing scroll and told Sasuke about what he had encountered in Kirigakure.

"It's nothing. I understand you're under a lot of pressure. Go back and practice this technique diligently. Once you've mastered it, train hard. Theoretically, it can enhance your mental strength."

His actions themselves have already demonstrated his stance.

After a long silence, Sasuke finally spoke: "I still need to keep gathering information."

but.

Then he added, "In addition, there is one of them that even I cannot fully perceive."

"It's nothing. Although it's your own choice, it's also the direction I hope for. We have common interests."

Chiba is anything but modest.

Sasuke cursed under his breath.

“Well, if you don’t continue, he’ll suspect that you know you’re being followed, and then he’ll suspect that you’re with me, because right now, I’m probably the only one who can reliably detect their movements.”

What puzzled him was that, although the feeling was unpleasant, there was also a faint sense of warmth.

Sasuke remained silent and did not answer.

Sasuke is starting to lose his composure.

Sasuke was very surprised, and his first reaction was—

"The other party was also very cautious, but there was still some lingering aura. Most people wouldn't be able to detect it, but I could."

"understood."

Chiba initially wanted him to go back and train properly, but considering the enemies Sasuke might encounter next, he shared his experience of fighting Obito in Kirigakure with Sasuke.

of course.

A character that even Itachi fears must be incredibly powerful. It's not surprising that they possess such bizarre power; it would be surprising if they were weak.

They were especially aware that the other party had a presence that even Chiba couldn't perceive.

"By the way, any thoughts on the Chunin Exams?"

"No, that's a ninja game for kids."

Sasuke said arrogantly.

Then, thinking of Chiba's abilities, he couldn't help but lose his composure and immediately changed his words, saying, "It would take too much time, and I'm not really suited to participate."

“There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s up to you. But it’s not bad for you to skip the exam. Sakura will be taking the exam with Tenten and Kazusa.”

"Thank you."

Sasuke bowed sincerely in thanks.

Since he wasn't participating in the Chunin Exams, his biggest worry was naturally Sakura Haruno.

With Tenten and Kazusa together, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Although they were both female ninjas, Sasuke had heard of the two of them. One was very skilled in space-time ninjutsu, and the other was skilled in concealing her presence and assassination teamwork.

Even if the individual players in such a team are not particularly skilled, their teamwork will far surpass that of an average team.

not to mention.

How could those two be truly weak when they're with Chiba?

You should think more about yourself.

Sasuke picked up the scroll and began to study it carefully.

Dao Chan's theory wasn't long; after reading it two or three times, he could basically memorize every word. But while he could memorize it, he didn't understand its meaning at all.

Quietly contemplate the sword?

What's the point of this mysterious and obscure stuff?

Although Sasuke didn't believe it, he still prepared to go back to train as instructed, but before leaving, he asked with some lingering doubt, "What exactly is this thing for?"

"It's a method that consumes and stimulates mental energy, which can enhance your mental strength, but whether it works depends on the individual."

Chiba smiled and said, "Not everyone can calm down and enter that state, so it's okay if you can't."

Sasuke returned the scroll to Chiba.

Although he didn't say anything, he had already made up his mind.

Isn't it just meditation?

practice!

When Chiba mentioned spiritual energy, he immediately understood why the other party wanted to teach him this technique.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

Previously, Sasuke asked Chiba if there was a way to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan without killing his comrades, and Chiba gave an ambiguous explanation of the essential principle of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

To sum up.

The essence of Sharingan enhancement lies in emotions, and the essence of emotions lies in mental strength and mental energy.

and so.

How can one enhance their spiritual energy through sword meditation, and then use that powerful spiritual force to enhance their kaleidoscope?
