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

"That's what I meant too."

We must use Konoha's current standards, because only Konoha's current standards can defend against the White Zetsu clones' attacks.

"However, it also has advantages."

Chiba took out his notebook.

"Ahem, I'm also checking some information."

After a moment, Chiba came out of the bedroom and said rather speechlessly, "What's the rush that you even dropped out of work to stay at my house?"

She said she came to call Chiba, to discuss something with her, and to look up some information, but in reality she was just slacking off. Besides, she drank the water that was supposed to be poured for herself.

"Should all villages participate together?"

Finally, they came up with a solution.

Tsunade pondered for a moment and said, "We can give it a try. It won't hurt. Even if they don't help, it will at least tie down some of Akatsuki's energy and prevent them from obtaining intelligence smoothly."

"That's right. We have indeed established a defense system in Konoha, but it's difficult to withstand Akatsuki's spying and attacks outside of Konoha. So Jiraiya wanted to establish a similar elite action organization as well."

Although the intelligence would be given away for free, their villages have weaker defenses and more tailed beasts, so they would definitely care more about the tailed beasts.

"What is so urgent?"

Tsunade blushed.

Chiba nodded in agreement.

An organization definitely needs to be formed, but how to share intelligence is also a problem. After all, the villages are not a monolithic entity, and considering the intelligence capabilities of other villages...

As for the construction of the base.

Then, she added one last thing: "Don't worry about what he thinks for now, do you have any good ideas?"

Tsunade revealed Jiraiya's thoughts.

"Our current version is very likely to be cracked by the Akatsuki, so we need to make some improvements so that we can release the old version and share it with other villages."

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "This might be difficult. They might not be willing to help, and we'll be sending out our intelligence for nothing..."

Tsunade was somewhat worried.

Tsunade smiled.

Tsunade chuckled and left.

Chiba's eyes lit up, and he quickly began to write.

Tsunade leaned closer.

This is……

She watched for a while, and then couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Is this Wood Release?"

"Correct."

Chiba nodded. "They can use Wood Release, and many of their concealment techniques are actually closely related to Wood Release and Earth Release. As long as we make plants a part of our senses, we can detect changes in their state."

"If it can be achieved, it is indeed more reliable than simple sound wave detection."

Tsunade thought for a few seconds and had to admit that Chiba's addition was very constructive.

"Wood Release alone is definitely not enough; they can detect the effects of Wood Release. Therefore, we also need to make some concealment arrangements and traps."

Chiba wrote a mind map and then quickly closed it. "Lady Tsunade, I remember saying before that we wanted to study Wood Release, and some of the people in our village are descendants of Senju and have mastered some Wood Release abilities."

"Yes, we have found the Kazamatsuri family. Their family has hidden Wood Release abilities, but none of them can use the real Wood Release."

"It's alright. Transplanting those cells into them will not make them like Captain Yamato, but they can certainly use ordinary plants as an extension of their senses."

Grass and Tree Barrier Technique.

Perception extension.

Chiba could write down the first two of these three requirements on the spot, but the last one was more troublesome.

Tsunade had obviously thought of that as well.

"They've learned sonic detection techniques, so your previous chakra shield concealment technique is no longer effective. How can you guarantee you'll avoid their detection?"

"Therefore, we need to improve the concealment barrier. Actually, we could use the method of fusing cells, but that ability requires cell reproduction. For now, we can use other methods..."

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

Then, he suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to find Jiraiya-senpai."

Then, Chiba vanished from the house in an instant.

Tsunade chuckled to herself.

Chiba, that child...

He's still as energetic as ever, and once he gets an idea, he can't stay still and immediately runs off.

but.

She probably knew what Chiba was thinking.

Using vegetation as a fulcrum for the barrier, in conjunction with the existing Leaf Village barrier and White Zetsu cells, we can capture the aura of those White Zetsu—

White Zetsu can conceal themselves, and flesh and blood naturally have a similar effect.

If used properly, concealing one's presence and avoiding the White Zetsu's perception is not difficult.

As Chiba said.

The difficulty is that cloning technology is not yet available.

"Looks like there's no way I can slack off anymore."

Tsunade sighed softly, got up, and headed towards the Konoha Anbu.

We must develop cell cloning as soon as possible!

……

Chiba arrived at Konoha Hospital and quickly found Jiraiya.

This guy, unusually, didn't run around, but stayed obediently in Konoha Hospital watching over Naruto, and was currently asleep sitting by the hospital bed.

He waited for a moment, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.

Then, Chiba erected a chakra shield to isolate his own aura and quietly walked to Naruto's side.

Jiraiya sat up instantly.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing that it was Chiba.

"What's wrong with you, kid? You came over so quietly, I couldn't even hear you. What's wrong with you?"

"I don't want to bother you. I'll check on Naruto first, and then we can talk about other things."

Chiba placed his hand on Naruto's forehead.

After sensing the situation, he basically determined Naruto's current condition.

"How about it?"

"The vortex clan has a very strong physique. He is currently in a self-repairing state and can recover quickly even without our intervention."

Chiba said, "I don't really recommend interventional treatment."

Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Whatever you say, shall we go outside and talk?"

"it is good."

Chiba nodded.

Jiraiya formed hand seals, leaving behind a shadow clone, and then followed Chiba out of Konoha Hospital, heading towards the Forest of Death.

We're almost in the woods.

Jiraiya suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories.

"Stop! Let's talk here."

"Don't worry, the parasites now have a source, so they won't rob indiscriminately."

Chiba couldn't help but want to laugh.

Just how badly Jiraiya was robbed last time? As soon as he got to the side, his muscle memory kicked in, and it was so funny that it made people burst out laughing.

Fortunately, I have strong enough patience.

He suppressed a laugh.

"I've heard about your plan from Lady Tsunade. Actually, I have similar ideas and have been making preparations for a while. However, our opponents are also researching ninjutsu, so we need to further upgrade our techniques."

"Do you need my help?"

Jiraiya remembered his previous promise and raised an eyebrow. "You're not going to make me develop this barrier technique, are you? You might as well just kill this old man."

It wasn't that Jiraiya was being modest.

He knew his own limitations. Although he had created some ninjutsu in his early years, most of them were developed when he was in the mood, not when he wasn't interested...

Jiraiya had absolutely no clue what to do.

For example, space-time ninjutsu.

To this day, he has only learned one summoning technique; he doesn't understand Flying Thunder God at all.

"No, that's not it. I already have ideas for basic barrier spells, but I'm missing a barrier spell for concealment. I know you have a lot of experience in this area, so I came to ask for your advice."

Chiba revealed his purpose.

Jiraiya thought about it.

I don't seem to have any techniques for concealing my presence...

"I don't know many barrier techniques, and it seems that only the Heavenly Canopy Array is related to perception."

"Heavenly Canopy Formation".
