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

and.

Chiba pointed to a barrier in front of him.

He spoke up because he wanted to understand what the barrier was for, but he was too embarrassed to explain it clearly.

"It's not that many. If it were, I wouldn't have such a headache and wouldn't have developed such a flying thunder array barrier."

At this point, Killer Bee has no room for negotiation.

"Hashirama Senju!"

Two squads?

Chiba's forehead and body seemed to have barely perceptible lines.

"Maybe so, but whether it is or not, we can't afford to mess with them. The previous person just made me feel that he was very strong and scary, but the one in front of me reminds me of someone else."

They all looked towards Chiba.

Killer Bee asked in confusion, "That person, the one from before?"

"Chiba-kun, when will the rest of you from Konoha arrive?"

Then, his consciousness returned to his body.

"What do you mean?"

Darui's heart stirred upon hearing this.

He felt very indignant.

"what happened?"

The Eight-Tails suddenly spoke inside Killer Bee, stopping Killer Bee from rapping.

Is he comparable to Hashirama Senju?

Kirabi looked ahead.

"Who?"

"idiot."

Ushioni solemnly said, "Back then, Hashirama Senju was just like him, possessing an incredibly terrifying amount of chakra, and he could instantly enter a very powerful state."

Chiba said, "That way, even if the village is in danger, we can quickly rush to its aid, or even launch a counter-encirclement."

Darui, of course, noticed the barrier.

The boy in the middle of Turtle Island was much taller than before. Judging from his current appearance alone, it was impossible to connect him with the person from before.

Actually.

Unfortunately.

"Do you have many people in Konoha who possess space-time abilities?"

He felt that the other party was the one who had stolen a lot of his Eight-Tails chakra!

In such a short time, the other party has grown to this level.

"Our Konoha will send two teleportation teams. With the ability of these teams, we can send ninjas to any location where the jutsu exists."

Chiba smiled and explained to him.

This is a semi-finished Flying Thunder Array barrier he set up. It cannot complete the teleportation on its own and requires a Flying Thunder Array team to cooperate in order to complete the entire process.

but.

Its function...

It simplifies the process, allowing less skilled Flying Thunder Array users to focus on building the spacetime channel without being distracted by the spell itself.

It can be considered a temporary alternative.

After listening, Darui said thoughtfully, "So, its purpose is to help construct the Flying Thunder Array?"

"Yes, as long as your people understand spatial abilities and know how to use them, they can also complete the release of ninjutsu."

Chiba nodded, "So our people are only being taught how to use it in the early stages, and later a small team might be transferred back."

"clear."

Darui nodded.

There aren't many talents like Konoha.

That's right.

If Konoha had a bunch of space-time ability controllers, he would be terrified and probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

……

In Sunagakure, Chiyo, Maki, and Gaara quietly arrived at the edge of the Land of Wind.

"Two seniors."

"You must be Genma Shiranui from Konoha? I didn't expect you to lead the team here."

Chiyo smiled and nodded.

Genma Shiranui nodded in greeting, then gestured for them to proceed: "Our people are already waiting. Which of you would like to go first?"

"Me."

Chiyo walked forward.

Maki opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything and silently followed to the place where the flying thunder array was set up.

We're only missing one person here.

Chiyo walked to the middle, and Genma Shiranui joined hands with the other two.

Subsequently.

After a surge of chakra, Chiyo's figure vanished from the spot.

Gaara moves forward.

"The next me."

"it is good."

Machi took a step back.

Gaara walked to the middle of the three, and then Gaara disappeared as well.

It was Machi's turn.

"Senior Maki, cough cough, I'm very sorry, but I'd still like to trouble you to cooperate."

"what happened?"

"We lack chakra, so we need to absorb some of it from you, otherwise we might not be able to maintain the stability of the space-time portal."

"???"

……

A similar thing was happening in another place, Kirigakure.

Outside, White Zetsu wanted to get closer to investigate, but now that the barrier of Kirigakure had changed, they had already failed to infiltrate once and were caught by the enemy, resulting in the death of one of their companions.

If we rush into an investigation and fail, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

It hesitated.

After a long while, it decided to go back and discuss it with Black Zetsu.

……

At this moment, Black Zetsu is discussing the future of the Akatsuki organization with Obito.

In Obito's original plan, the Akatsuki organization's focus was still on those few people. As long as they captured the tailed beasts and synthesized them into the Ten-Tails, everything would be fine.

but.

To their utter surprise, before they could even make a move, a series of unexpected events occurred, quickly disrupting their plans.

"Nagato means that we can no longer follow the previous plan and must make the first move."

"Capture the Tailed Beasts?"

"Correct."

Black Zetsu nodded.

Obito pondered for a few seconds, then nodded: "That's true. If we wait any longer, Konoha might become even stronger. That guy's potential is truly unpredictable."

"That?"

"How should we proceed? Should we destroy Konoha first, or focus on capturing the Tailed Beasts?"

"Capture most of the tailed beasts first. As for Konoha, we'll deal with them together later. Otherwise, we might not have a sure chance of winning, and we also need to keep an eye on their movements..."

Black Zetsu talked on and on about his plans.

As he was speaking, his face suddenly stiffened.

"what happened?"

Obito frowned.

It's rare to see something that can change Black Zetsu's expression.

Then, he himself realized it—

Many White Zetsu are coming this way.

The next moment, four or five White Zetsu appeared.

"what happened?"

"Konoha is helping other ninja villages establish sensory barriers."

"..."

Black Zetsu waved his hand. "Go back and keep an eye on them. See what they're up to."
