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

"Yes."

A line of white Zetsu disappeared into the ground.

Obito stood up, his face serious.

"We have to take action now; we can't just sit here and wait to die. But before we deal with Konoha, we can go to other ninja villages and figure out their barrier system first."

"Ah."

Black Zetsu sneered, "By helping others establish a barrier, he has actually helped us, giving us the opportunity to break the barrier spell."

"Let's go to Sunagakure first."

……

On Turtle Island, elites from the four major nations have gathered.

Apart from Konoha, the other three villages have basically brought out all their strengths. Kirigakure is the worst off, as even the Mizukage has come.

This surprised the other two villages.

but.

Mei Terumi herself showed no shame and laughed very naturally.

"Chiba-kun, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. I wonder if we could have a more in-depth discussion about ninjutsu this time?"

Terumi Mei smiled.

Previously, Kirigakure was rather resistant to Konoha's ninjutsu, but after using it, she felt...

This is really useful!

I just regret not having communicated more.

As for keeping their own ninjutsu secret—

Protect your ass!

Konoha's strength, both in terms of raw power and the reserves of ninjutsu, far surpasses that of Kirigakure.

Even if Kirigakure were to use its strongest techniques, it would be meaningless against Konoha in its current state. It would be better to generously offer them in exchange for Konoha's ninjutsu.

then.

To surpass other ninja villages.

We must at least crush Sunagakure under our feet.

Chiba smiled and said, "We can exchange ninjutsu anytime, but I don't know if you can offer something that interests me."

"of course can."

Mei Terumi smiled slightly. "See you tonight!"

Chiyo stood to the side, expressionless.

Although she benefited from Chiba's help and gained some vitality enhancement, it was only a little bit, not enough to reverse her appearance and return her to her youth.

but.

in those days……

She's the most beautiful flower in Sunagakure, okay?

Chiyo glanced at Mei Terumi and said calmly, "Let's talk about what to do next, otherwise gathering together will just be a waste of time."

"Actually, there's not much to talk about. Everyone just needs to choose their targets, and then we'll hunt them down. It's just that we need to call everyone together for the first wave of attacks."

Chiba said, "We have already identified our target in Konoha."

"Oh?"

Darui became interested. "Who will Konoha choose?"

"Uchiha Itachi, the rogue ninja who slaughtered the Uchiha clan."

"You want to kill Itachi?"

Mei Terumi laughed, "Looking at it this way, perhaps we can cooperate. We also want to kill Kisame Hoshigaki first."

"Easy to say."

Kisame Hoshigaki is indeed paired with Itachi.

Chiba had no reason to refuse Mei Terumi's conditions.

but.

"What about Sunagakure?"

"Our target is Sasori, of course, but Sunagakure alone cannot deal with two S-rank rogue ninja."

Chiyo is not a fool like Rasa.

she knows……

Sunagakure is indeed not very strong right now, and it is even struggling compared to Kirigakure, let alone the other two. Rather than stubbornly resisting, it would be better to honestly admit its weakness.

"Our Hidden Cloud Village needs to handle internal affairs and is unable to provide assistance at the moment."

"Darui said."

"In that case, you'll deal with Kakuzu?"

"Uh."

Darui hesitated for a moment.

If it's Kakuzu...

They seem even more difficult to deal with.

They've fought Kakuzu before; that guy can keep resurrecting, and they still don't understand his patterns.

If we're going to deal with Kakuzu, we might as well cooperate with Sunagakure to deal with Sasori's partner.

Who is Scorpion's partner?

"According to intelligence, his name is Deidara, and he comes from Iwagakure. The rest is unknown for the time being."

Chiba said.

"Then it's him!"

Upon hearing the name Iwagakure, his spirits immediately lifted.

Lightning Release ninjutsu is a great counter to Earth Release; we're not afraid of them at all.

"What about Kakuzu?"

He thought of a new problem.

If two teams have someone to deal with them, but the remaining team has no one to deal with them...

That would be a bit of a waste.

Chiba said, "We still have some people in Konoha who can deal with Kakuzu and his partner, so we will leave Kakuzu and his partner to Konoha."

"it is good."

Everyone was shocked, but quickly nodded in agreement.

Konoha is simultaneously dealing with three S-rank rogue ninja.

Such strength and confidence were admirable, but the more people Konoha dealt with, the easier things became for them.

After discussing and agreeing on the terms.

They chatted about communication methods, then had another round of conversation before all three parties left. As for their "date" that evening...

Chiba was just saying it casually.

Mei Terumi probably wouldn't take it seriously, right?

……

Back in Konoha, Chiba explained their assigned opponents.

Tsunade agreed.

Other villages do have some hidden strength, but the amount they hide is definitely not much.

and.

Although they will have to deal with more enemies, the final enemy may be the most hostile to Konoha.

Tsunade immediately gathered her forces.

Before long, all of Konoha's strongest Jonin gathered at the Hokage Building.

Three names were written on the backdrop.

Tsunade pointed to the first one.

"Who will help Itachi?"

Kakashi was about to get up when he saw Chiba raise his hand.

He thought for a moment and said, "Can you block his illusion?"

"It's not a big problem."

Chiba nodded.

Kakashi nodded and sat down.

Tsuna pointed to the other two.

"These two are together, so we can count them as one team. Should you go in together, or should two teams go in first, and the other two wait for an opportunity?"

The remaining two opponents.

There are still five Jonin remaining inside the house.

Kakashi, Asuma, Might Guy, Yamato, and one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya.

The four of them looked at each other.
