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

Shizune squinted, looking listless. "There's a pile of documents here. Chiba-kun, do you want to come and help?"

"Uh."

Chiba's lips twitched, then she waved her hands repeatedly, "Never mind, I have more important things to do."

"hehe."

Shizune pursed her lips but didn't say anything more.

Anyway.

These two definitely need to go out and talk alone.

……

What's going on with Kakashi?

"It's not a big problem. I believe in Kakashi-sensei. He can get through this. It's just that there are some things he needs to figure out for himself right now."

Chiba shook his head indifferently.

Kakashi wouldn't do anything rash; he's not that fragile. Right now, Kakashi is probably more focused on how to deal with Obito and settle scores from back then.

die?

Impossible.

"Mainly the Sharingan."

Tsunade expressed her concerns.

Chiba pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "After the Sharingan is awakened, the power of the eye and emotions don't really affect each other, so there shouldn't be any problems."

What did you and Kakashi talk about yesterday?

"It's nothing..."

Chiba briefly recounted what happened yesterday.

Kakashi already had the answer in his heart regarding Obito, otherwise he wouldn't have hastily bid farewell to the Third Hokage.

He just needed evidence to definitively confirm his suspicions.

Although Chiba's shadow clone was shattered and failed to reach that space, there is no doubt that not many people can do this, and Obito is precisely the one who fits the bill best.

Tsunade was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Then, she frowned and asked, "Did your shadow clone activate Sage Mode or get strangled?"

"Yes, I tried to stabilize the space passage and initially achieved some success, but later the space storm became more powerful."

Chiba smiled. "He's definitely inside."

"If your guess is correct, Obito should have been in another dimension at that time."

Tsunade frowned. "So, his ability isn't actually that mysterious. He can just teleport his body at will, switching between two worlds."

"Yes, but he should take a short break after helping others teleport or after using his ability."

Chiba said.

Tsunade looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"why?"

"Because Obito has Minato's mark on him."

"what?"

Tsunade stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Minato Namikaze actually left the Flying Thunder God mark on Obito?

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"The fewer people who know this, the better. Right now, only you and I know it."

Flying Thunder God Mark.

Even Obito himself was unaware of this.

Chiba only confirmed this through his Flying Thunder God perception.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed crucial. If used well, it might be able to kill him unexpectedly."

Tsunade understood what Chiba meant.

Obito had no idea that the Flying Thunder God Mark existed.

and so.

If enough opportunities are created and Chiba is allowed to fight him separately, Obito will definitely reveal a weakness.

Until then...

A single, fatal blow is not a problem.

"Chiba, please seal this memory away for me."

"no need?"

"It's necessary. Although I don't go out much, and Konoha's defenses are very strong now, what if something unexpected happens?"

Tsunade's expression was solemn. "I can't let the opportunity left by the Fourth Hokage slip away because of me."

"it is good."

……

Mt. Miaomu.

Naruto sat upright in his seat, somewhat drowsy, but the next second—

Bang!

A wooden stick came crashing down on me.

"How can someone your age sleep?"

“At this time, I was training like crazy and fighting to the death on the battlefield. You were far from having such a leisurely time.”

Jiraiya roared from the side.

Naruto's lips twitched, and he almost fell off the stone slab.

He said speechlessly, "I know, I almost sensed it just now..."

"Alright, Jiraiya, Naruto has done very well."

Fukasaku Sennin coughed lightly.

Jiraiya back then was not as good as Naruto; it was already a big favor that he didn't sabotage him.

It thought for a moment and said, "Naruto, you continue training. I'll discuss with Jiraiya what to do."

"Uh, okay, by the way, Jiraiya-sensei, how is Sasuke?"

"Sasuke."

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then finally said, "Sasuke is training in the Anbu and should be on a mission outside right now. I haven't returned to the village, so I'm not entirely sure."

"so."

"Alright, stop overthinking it and focus on your cultivation."

Jiraiya waved and followed Fukasaku to the other side.

The immortal lowered his voice.

"Jiraiya, I heard you mention before that Chiba from Konoha seems to have a method to help others sense natural energy?"

"Hmm? Actually, it works on the same principle as our toad oil, except that it has a particularly strong sense of perception, so it can easily sense the presence of natural energy."

Jiraiya then added, "Of course, the Sage Body is also very important!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant. You see, Naruto can't sense it very well right now, and the old master said last time that a change in the ninja world is coming soon, so Naruto probably won't have much time to train properly."

The hermit, Fukasaku, expressed his concerns, saying, "If we keep applying pressure, I'm afraid it won't be very effective."

Jiraiya understood this perfectly well.

The reason he made Naruto focus so intently was that he hoped Naruto could master Sage Mode more quickly.

but.

Thinking about it carefully, what the immortal Fukasaku said makes sense.

This kind of thing...

What's the point of applying pressure?

The talent is there.

He thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Boss, please help me send it back to Konoha."

……

After a while, Jiraiya brought Chiba back to Mount Myōboku.

"Chiba, you have to help us. Naruto is a very important asset."
