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

He frowned.

Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique.

If used well, this technique is indeed very powerful, even surpassing their shadow imitation technique in some areas. However, the problem is that they usually act together with the mountain tribe.

In this way...

Is it really necessary to specifically study such a difficult ninjutsu?

Lu Jiu pondered for a long time.

It is necessary!

The Nara clan could indeed continue to act alongside the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, making the Ino-Shika-Cho trio an impenetrable fortress, but as Chiba stated in the scroll.

The Nara and Yamanaka families can cooperate more closely.

Things are different now.

Those who are content with the status quo will ultimately be eliminated by the times.

Chiba's ninjutsu and ideas were two excellent directions: one was to enhance individual strength, and the other was to enhance the cooperation between the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Two directions, two levels of difficulty.

The former can be trained as an elite, while the latter is learned by most ordinary ninjas.

but.

We still need to communicate and discuss with Haiyi.

Shikaku pondered for a moment, then looked at the last one.

This is a technique that Chiba came up with.

Shadow Chain Manipulation Technique.

The use of steel cables and shadows enhances control.

This?

Lu Jiu watched with great interest, and then couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement.

Puppet Techniques!

Chiba's technique...

The idea was to let them research and then popularize it, but it actually seems more suitable for the Nara clan, especially for some of the Nara clan's less talented ninjas.

He pondered for a long time.

"Chiba, to be honest, I hadn't even considered the possibility of puppet martial arts before, it..."

"There's not much need for that."

Chiba shook his head.

Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment, then made a gesture: "I would like to hear more details."

"Puppet martial arts are indeed very useful, but their effectiveness is very average, and they require a lot of effort to study. Wouldn't it be better for those who can learn them to learn martial arts suitable for the Nara family?"

"Um……"

Shikaku thought for a moment and said, "Physical skills have their limits after all."

"Then let's add a summoning beast."

Chiba said.

Lu Jiu suddenly understood.

Summoning beast!

Or rather, ninja beasts.

Previously, most of Konoha's ninja beast training was done by the Inuzuka clan, but now the Inuzuka clan has contributed a lot of technology, which can be exchanged at the Konoha Research Institute.

and.

Yamashiro Aoba has partnered with the Inuzuka family and has even managed to breed ninja birds.

The Nara clan doesn't necessarily need to develop a new technology; they can simply exchange it with Yamashiro Aoba. Everyone gets what they need. The only remaining problem is...

How can we further subdivide the Shadow Imitation Technique to make it more valuable than the Shadow Chain Manipulation Technique, without revealing too much of the Nara family's secret techniques?

but.

That's simple; I just need to go back and think it over carefully.

The most important direction has been determined.

Shikaku picked up his glass: "Chiba, I won't say much more. Just let me know if you need any help."

"No need. If you create the technique and are willing to distribute it to civilian ninjas, that would be the greatest help to me."

"..."

After finishing his drink, Shikaku was at a loss for words.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"Chiba, you really are..."

"Ok?"

“I used to think you were like the Second Generation Lord, then I thought you were like the First Generation Lord, but now the more I look at you, the more I think you are a combination of the First Generation Lord and the Second Generation Lord.”

Shikaku sighed, "If you had been born twenty years earlier, Konoha might already be the number one ninja in the world."

"The same is true now."

"That's true."

Lu Jiu laughed heartily.

Chapter 326 Scorpion: Absolute, your clones are really useful.

"Shikaku-senpai, you must have heard at least a little about Jiraiya-sama's plan, right?"

"Heh, that thing."

Shikaku glanced at Chiba, and the two smiled at each other. "Even if it was Jiraiya-sama who suggested it, I did hear Tsunade-sama mention it, but to be honest..."

"Ok?"

"It won't be easy to unite."

Shikaku said seriously, "For Konoha, an alliance is naturally beneficial and harmless. The problem is how to gain everyone's trust."

"Ah."

Chiba nodded.

This is the most important.

Konoha wants to take the lead in forming a united organization, and the key is that everyone else is completely trusted and willing to contribute. Otherwise, many people may suspect that Konoha wants to profit from it.

"Kabuto, how's the research going?"

The people of Sunagakure are always inexplicably confident, including Chiyo and Ebizo. If they cannot face their own strength and status, they will think that Konoha needs them in this matter.

Let him and Shukaku be freed from each other's burdens.

Nara Shikaku was much smarter than Chiba in these matters. He understood how to navigate among various forces, but this was a complicated matter that required the strong support of Chiba and Konoha.

The large villages were constantly at war with each other, and no one could completely trust anyone else.

but.

The so-called organization still cannot be established.

"Senior Shikaku, I will contact them first. If there are any things I can't handle, I'll ask you to help me out later."

Then.

perhaps.

but.

They would think...

If Mei Terumi, after witnessing the strength of Obito and Kisame, still stubbornly insists on handling things herself, then Kirigakure deserves to be destroyed.

As for the weakest village, Sunagakure.

Recently, Dou has still been secretly sending messages over.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to get things done.

But the good thing is.

……

"no problem."

Currently, Chiba does not have a particularly good solution that can ensure the Jinchuriki's life force is not lost when separating the Tailed Beasts.

I could create something like that myself, or use it to deal with the Akatsuki.

According to the previous agreement, Gaara will be coming to Konoha Ninja Academy as an exchange student to teach for a period of time. What he will be responsible for teaching is yet to be revealed.

The Akatsuki organization valued him highly and entrusted him with many research projects. Although he made many inventions, through Kabuto's feedback, Chiba could clearly see the current dynamics of the Akatsuki organization.

You can ask Dou about his recent situation.

He still didn't quite trust Kabuto's research, because what he was studying was White Zetsu.

The sonic detection technique did work; otherwise, Scorpion wouldn't have been able to capture the White Zetsu.

Unfortunately, Kabuto has now joined the Akatsuki organization.

"Lord Sasori, please rest assured. This is Lord Orochimaru's previous research. I am simply replicating it now. There will be absolutely no mistakes."

If Sunagakure truly doesn't want to do anything, then they could appropriately lighten Gaara's burden, for example...
