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

Although Kabuto Yakushi is not strong, he has a variety of tricks up his sleeve and is very difficult to deal with, just like Orochimaru.

Chapter 330 Do you still remember my promise?

2023-04-20

"Ok?"

Chiba looked ahead and a smile appeared on his face.

Kabuto, that guy...

He really is a natural spy; this time, he infiltrated and already had the chance to meet Payne so quickly.

Being able to meet Pain means he's already quite deep within the Akatsuki organization, and might soon be able to infiltrate its ranks.

Chiba never doubted Kabuto's abilities.

In terms of combat power, he may not be the strongest, but his various survival skills and methods are enough to make his enemies extremely disgusted.

Even if Kakashi wanted to take down Kabuto, it would take him some effort.

not to mention.

Kabuto also possesses the ability to bestow gifts.

of course.

The little girl looked a bit annoyed.

This time it should be Neji's turn.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio are not good at individual combat, and the others have some issues as well. Sakura is training in the Yin Seal and did not participate in the third exam at all.

"Chiba, I want to be with you..."

Chiba thought for a moment and then shared his thoughts.

Tenten performed very well in the second exam, but unfortunately, she encountered Chojuro in the third exam.

As for Neji...

Chiba knew what was going on, and his attention returned to what was in front of him.

Excellence is only relative.

"What did you say?"

day by day……

Compared to others, he is still quite strong.

Kabuto doesn't want to expose his cursed seal, so his displayed strength will be quite limited. He may not be assigned combat missions and will most likely continue to conduct research as before.

A defeat doesn't mean she's weak; it just means she still has flaws and her individual combat abilities aren't comprehensive.

He thought about it for a moment, then chased after him.

Matt Kai responded in a low voice.

of course.

He's not the only one pondering this.

Chojuro may be relatively ordinary, but that's when compared to the Kage and Jonin.

Jonin?

Do you know what you're saying?

The group maintained their previous formation.

Konoha suffered virtually no damage. The only one injured was Kiba Inuzuka, who was too reckless during the final battle, essentially acting without thinking, which led to his injury and had nothing to do with ninjutsu.

"Neji's matter?"

Kai was also thinking.

He couldn't believe it for a moment.

"I think Neji can be rated as a Jonin. His abilities are very comprehensive, enough to serve as a Jonin or even lead a team of Jonin."

Chiba is still only a Special Jonin!

Kai didn't say it, but his meaning was written all over his face. Chiba couldn't help but laugh and say, "I'm different from them. I don't want to move up, and the ranking doesn't matter to me at all."

The Konoha Collapse Plan meant that the third match was never even finished, so there was no question of advancing.

Tenten, Kazusa, and Shino are in the second tier.

They finished their exams and prepared to return to Konoha. Since only Chiba and Tenten had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Flying Thunder Formation, they could only return on foot.

Neji was his student, so he shouldn't have spoken up, but Neji was just too outstanding. He should have been promoted to Chunin last time, but...

Everyone else performed exceptionally well.

Kai couldn't help but shout it out.

Neji undoubtedly performed the best.

Might Guy was stunned. He only dared to think about Chunin, not expecting Chiba to have even bigger ambitions.

"Uh, yes."

A Jonin leading a team?

but.

Chiba glanced at it.

"..."

What should I do if I really want to hit someone?

Matt Kai hardened his fist.

What does it mean to say you don't want a promotion?

This kind of thing...

That's actually pretty damn good.

Kai thought for a moment, if he had Chiba's abilities, and knew Tsunade, the Third Hokage, and even Danzo was willing to entrust Root to him before his death—

Even Danzo, whom Chiba killed with his own hands.

Who is this?

He controls both sides, making him an absolute power holder in Konoha.

Kai thought for a moment...

Compared to Chiba, his own Jonin position seemed like a mere figurehead.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

After thinking about it.

Kai then thought of another concern.

"What about the Hyuga clan?"

"Don't worry, being promoted to Jonin is a matter for the village. Why should we care about the Hyuga clan's opinion? Besides, I'm just making a suggestion. The specifics are up to Lady Tsunade."

"makes sense."

Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

However, even Chiba said that the probability of becoming a Jonin in one step is very high.

He couldn't help but feel happy for his disciple.

……

Back in the village.

"Oh? Sunagakure is telling us to assess it ourselves?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

She took the battle report from Sunagakure and read it carefully.

The description above lists the performance of more than a dozen people.

Chiba has already seen it.

As she looked at each one, Tsunade's expression gradually changed from initial joy and pride to a distorted one. When she saw Kiba Inuzuka's performance at the end, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"What's wrong with the Inuzuka family brat? He's so reckless in battle. Do you think the enemy will show the same mercy on the battlefield?"

Kiba Inuzuka's opponent is Omoi.

The opponent is indeed powerful.

but.

Kiba Inuzuka underestimated his opponent's strength and acted rashly, which led to his injury and defeat.

Kurenai Yuhi stood silently to the side, head bowed.

She felt increasingly incompetent.

Tsunade was about to unleash a few more curses when Chiba coughed lightly, "Lady Tsunade, although Kiba's performance was poor, his combat abilities were still commendable, and he also played a significant role in reconnaissance during the second exam."

"Hmm? Cough, indeed."

Tsunade coughed lightly, "Kiba has always been reckless, and his personality is really hard to teach. Fortunately, when we were assigned to classes, we put Shino with him, and Shino's performance was outstanding."

"Shino's control over insects is impeccable, and he also knows how to cooperate with his teammates and command them. His only weakness is that his own skills are a bit lacking."

Yuhi Kurenai said.

Tsunade nodded slightly.

This is indeed Shino's flaw, or rather, the Aburame clan all have this flaw to some extent.

It's not that there's no solution—
