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

Just like...

Is there any connection between these two?

Afterwards, Might Guy and Chiba chatted for a while, discussing how to deal with Sunagakure and what conditions to set. They both felt there were no mistakes or omissions, and then sat down to discuss taijutsu.

A rebellion has broken out in Sunagakure; no wonder things have been looking like a storm is brewing lately.

Both of them were very surprised.

After a while, Asuma and Kurenai returned and recounted the events, but omitted some details and didn't go into too much depth, only giving a brief account of the situation in Sunagakure.

Matt Kai sprayed a mouthful of water to the side.

Chiba explained the process.

We didn't discuss anything profound; we talked more about our recent progress and achievements.

of course.

After listening to Chiba's conjectures, Matt Kai gradually sorted out his thoughts and found them incredible and absurd, yet he also had a sudden realization that "that's how it is."

Finally, Kai was somewhat puzzled.

After much deliberation, Kai decided not to dwell on it.

"No, that's not it. I mainly wanted to check on the situation of one of their traitors..."

"What are Sunagakure's thoughts now?"

"Hmm, that makes sense. If you can't give people, give them information."

He really didn't want to ask, because Matt Kai felt that asking the question would make him seem stupid, but he just couldn't resist his curiosity.

Matt Kai said, "Oh, it's really nothing. We're all allies, so it's only right that we help each other with this small favor..."

He scratched his head, his mind a complete mess, unable to sort out his thoughts at all. He just felt that what Chiba said made a lot of sense, and that following Chiba's lead should be the right thing to do.

Spiritual evidence is often lost, especially the dead, but ninja tools can leave some evidence.

"In essence, that technique is a kind of puppet technique. It is very ingenious, but it is not perfect. If it were me, I would definitely use mental means to tamper with his memories instead of using ninja tools."

Kai nodded. "But let's forget about those small ninja villages. They don't have many skilled ninjas, and the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts have nothing to do with them. Contacting them would only make it easier to leak secrets."

Even I don't know...

……

the next day.

Chiyo personally came to visit.

She was very kind, with a gentle smile on her face, looking like a neighbor's grandma. Who would have thought that they were actually enemies decades ago?

After taking Chiba outside, Chiyo briefly explained Sunagakure's decision.

"Chiba Jonin, our Sand Village agrees with your idea. Originally, I should have personally participated to kill that bastard grandson and bring him back, but..."

Chiyo sighed softly, "I'm old now, not young anymore, and can't travel around like young people, so I can only send Maki to help you with a little bit. Also, we in Sunagakure will definitely cooperate with our intelligence efforts."

This was the decision they reached through discussion.

of course.

Chiyo really wanted to participate, but she's the same age as the Third Generation, and it's already quite remarkable that she can still maintain such strong abilities.

Running around like young people definitely won't work.

Chiba pondered for a moment, then said, "It's not that there's no way."

"Oh? You have a way?"

Chiyo's eyes lit up.

If she had a choice, she would definitely want to catch Scorpion herself and settle the score.

In reality, Chiyo still harbored some illusions.

She hoped that Sasori hadn't done those things, but had only betrayed the village. If so, she could use her old connections to plead for him, and who knows, she might be able to save his life and get him to help Sunagakure.

but.

If Scorpion really did those things...

Even if it means mutual destruction, she will kill Scorpion with her own hands!

"There is a way."

Chiba nodded.

Chiyo remained silent for a moment, then seemed somewhat disheartened.

"Enough. If I were to do something harmful to the village for my own selfish desires, I would be guilty even in the afterlife. You need not state your conditions."

"Don't you want to hear it?"

"No need to listen, I won't agree."

Chiyo shook his head.

Chiba smiled slightly: "I didn't mean to use this to coerce you into giving me the Puppet Technique. As I said, I'm not really interested in the Puppet Technique. It's just that your Sunagakure seems to treasure it very much and think I'd be after it."

"..."

Chiyo really thought so.

The Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters are the pinnacle of puppetry, and she had already suspected that the other party might want to see all the secrets of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters, so she was unwilling to agree.

but.

From what Chiba said...

It seems not.

After some hesitation, she finally swallowed her pride and asked, "So what do you mean?"

"This isn't without its price. If you get the benefits, you have to join the organization and help us fight the Akatsuki. Otherwise, I definitely won't let it go."

Chiba said solemnly, "This needs to be written down. If you break your oath, I will personally hunt you down."

"They won't make me deal with Sunagakure, will they?"

"No, it's only for dealing with the Akatsuki and the people behind them. If it involves your own village or an unrelated village, you can go back with the others."

Chiba said frankly.

Chiyo was silent for a few seconds before finally nodding: "If you really can do it, of course I'm willing to help you. After all, the Akatsuki are also enemies of our Sunagakure, and I have no reason to stand by and do nothing."

"Well then, it's a pleasure to cooperate. As the first ally to notify and cooperate, I hope that Sunagakure will not do anything regrettable this time."

"will not."

Even if Chiyo didn't have that idea, she still wouldn't be able to defeat Chiba.

Unless poison is used.

but.

Based on her observations, she felt that Chiba was an extremely skilled medical ninja, and perhaps even more accomplished in medical ninjutsu than herself.

and.

Even if you don't understand, you should still budget according to what he does understand.

Chiyo has already messed up with Chiba many times—

She had previously thought Chiba's puppetry skills were average, but it turned out that Chiba's puppetry skills were extremely high, ranking among the top in Sunagakure.

It's the kind of history that's recounted.

estimate……

Perhaps only Sasori can compare to Chiba.

Thinking of this, she had even less intention of becoming an enemy of Konoha. Konoha was too strong now, and Sunagakure was no match for it.

Once inside the house...

Chiba took out a piece of White Zetsu's flesh from the sealed scroll.

Chiyo glanced at her.

"Is this the kind of creature we talked about before?"

"Yes, his cellular tissue."

Chiba smiled slightly. "His cells contain considerable vitality, which can help you obtain sufficient vitality."

"transplant?"

"Uh, you're overthinking it."

Chiba shook his head.

Chiyo's body was transplanted with White Zetsu cells...

It's not impossible, but it might require sacrificing a Sharingan.

but.

Why should Chiba help her?

Furthermore.

If you just give her the White Zetsu cells, those scoundrels from Sunagakure will get the White Zetsu cells. Who knows if they'll betray you later?

Chiba had no intention of handing over the choice to others.

Especially those who are used to being enemies.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Aren't you capable of reincarnation?"

Chiba reminded him, "It's a very simple principle: just reverse the process of 'self-generation transformation' and completely absorb its life force into your own body."

"???"

Chiyo fell into deep thought.
