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

Its infiltration is ubiquitous and its methods of infiltration are almost imperceptible.

and so.

Chiba already had some answers in his heart about why he had been summoned, but he wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.

"Yes, our opponent is said to be a successor of Uchiha Madara, wielding the fan weapon that Uchiha Madara used back then. His strength is terrifying. If it weren't for Lord Chiba..."

Darui pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't necessarily count; it depends on what you're talking about."

Darui was no novice like Chojuro; he connected many things to his mind, such as...

Darui glanced at him, then took a deep breath: "Please tell me, what is it, and what will you do if we can't make a decision?"

Everyone has a tailed beast.

If they can't decide, is there another way to cooperate, or is there something they're going to do to them that would be detrimental to them?

Even with all the methods they're using now, they still can't say they're completely free of white-collar "traitors," and...

"Your Hidden Mist Village was also attacked?"

“It’s very simple. If you can’t make the decision, I will seal this part of your memories, and you will take my Flying Thunder God Talisman back to the village.”

Is it...

"I want to establish an organization where our four intelligence networks can share information about Akatsuki and work together to deal with and eliminate Akatsuki members."

"what?"

Chojuro took a deep breath, then said tremblingly, "I believe you!"

Darui looked at Chojuro.

Darui was somewhat surprised, then suddenly realized why it had to be kept secret.

"!!!"

He thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"In what way?"

"Of course, this part of the memory will not be sealed."

Can I really make the decision myself?

Chiba smiled and said, "Gentlemen, there is something I need to discuss with your two families, so I asked you to come here to talk. This matter must be kept confidential, so I need your word."

"also?"

"These rogue ninjas are powerful, but they shouldn't have made any moves yet, right?"

"Do you have the final say?"

"Our Sunagakure has been attacked, and we have experienced internal strife. However, it turns out that the instigator of this internal strife was a member of the Akatsuki organization who manipulated him using some kind of forbidden technique."

Chiba said.

Chojuro looked at Chiba but didn't continue, though the two instantly understood.

If this information is leaked, it will indeed lose its element of surprise and fail to achieve the desired hunting effect.

They were forced to agree.

"..."

Although he didn't quite agree, Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure had one obvious thing in common.

Chojuro's eyes widened in surprise. "You were attacked too?" he asked.

Chiba joined the battle!

Darui frowned and looked at Chiba, hoping to get an answer from him.

Chiba has nothing to hide.

He recounted the entire story of Kirigakure, excluding information about Kirigakure itself.

Chiyo and Darui both gasped.

A descendant of Uchiha Madara!

They were able to use space-time ninjutsu, and they had already witnessed White Zetsu's ability to infiltrate and manipulate others before, but hearing it again from Chiba and Chojuro was still quite surprising.

The room fell silent for a moment.

A few seconds later, Darui said, "So, things are actually not so bad in our village."

“This is not good. Your village has been infiltrated very severely. I suspect that your village is already overrun with White Zetsu creatures, so you are the ones I trust the least.”

Chiba shook his head.

Darui asked, puzzled, "Why?"

If we can't compare to Konoha, then so be it.

Are the security measures in Kirigakure and Sunagakure stronger than theirs?

If that were the case, there would be no internal strife.

"Because we all traded for techniques that can detect them to some extent."

Chiyo said helplessly.

"!!!"

There's such a ninjutsu?

Darui was somewhat surprised, but he quickly realized that this thing definitely wasn't free.

He thought about it.

"We'll discuss this after the surgery, Chiba-kun. Regarding the organization you mentioned, how do you ensure that this information isn't leaked? And where has the location been chosen?"

"I'm tentatively planning to choose Takigakure, since they also have a Jinchuriki. But I haven't negotiated with Takigakure yet. Of course, we would be happy if your village has a better place."

Chiba remembers...

There is a giant turtle island in Kumogakure, which is the true hidden place of Kumogakure. No one outside Kumogakure knows exactly where it is because it can move.

Turtle Island is definitely the first choice.

but.

If Kumogakure refuses to provide it, he cannot forcefully demand it, and Konoha's intelligence should not contain this information.

For the reasons mentioned above, Chiba chose Takigakure, which was in the middle.

Then, he explained the secret measures he had prepared, and Chiyo and Chojuro's eyes immediately lit up with envy.

These techniques...

That's way more advanced than acoustic detection!

It seems they all received inferior products.

Chiyo opened her mouth, but had nothing to say.

Developing these techniques is Konoha's skill, and the knowledge involved in each technique is extremely valuable. Konoha isn't a charity; how could they easily hand it over?

If Chiba were an easy-going fool, she might have silently joined forces with Darui and Chojuro to try and demand it, but knowing that Chiba was no pushover, repeatedly going back and forth in the restricted area was just courting death.

Chojuro didn't say anything.

However, he didn't think about it as much as Chiyo did; rather, he didn't think that far ahead, he just felt...

Chiba is amazing!

Konoha is really amazing!

other?

No more.

He's just a simple-minded landlord's son.

Chiyo and Darui secretly observed Chojuro and saw that his eyes were clear and he had no other thoughts. They couldn't help but admire that Kirigakure had a worthy successor.

Remaining calm in the face of self-interest.

It's stable!

They were at a loss, pondering how to proceed, when Chiba said, "If you all cooperate, I can upgrade you to a higher level for free."

"What do you mean?"

The three of them quickly moved closer together.

Chiba smiled and said, "For example, Sunagakure. You exchanged detection techniques, and we can provide you with higher-level protective techniques, knowledge of protective barriers, and even help you build barriers."

"Where is our Hidden Mist Village?"

"also the same."

"..."

Darui did not bring shame upon himself.

They don't exchange ninjutsu with Kumogakure, so asking would be pointless.

"For villages like Kumogakure, I can give you detection techniques for free."

"Really?"

Darui was somewhat taken aback, but he quickly understood Chiba's methods.

Why are other villages pursuing more advanced defense systems?

Obviously.

Low-level defenses simply cannot stop it.

Detection techniques...
