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

"..."

Kakashi ate it anyway.

He knew that the person in front of him was not a spy, but the real Tianzang, which was why he was so confused.

On the one hand, he was concerned about whether he was hungry, but on the other hand, he took out military rations that were not meant to relieve hunger. It was really hard to understand.

After swallowing the soldier's ration pill, Tenzo explained Chiba's thoughts.

Kakashi pondered for a long time.

"feasible."

"Then let's..."

"We'll talk about it when we get back to the village. We have four ninja tools."

Kakashi pointed seriously downstairs.

The four great ninja tools are extremely valuable, and the Craftsman Village will certainly not let them go. However, after taking back Konoha, they will have the space and time to argue and negotiate.

These kinds of experiments shouldn't be rushed.

"Ahem, you're right."

"By the way, where's that samurai?"

"Downstairs, practicing swordsmanship with Chiba-kun."

Tianzang pointed downstairs.

Kakashi sat up, found a place to wash up and get dressed, and then came out and praised the house again, leaving Tenzo speechless for a moment.

When they got downstairs, Chiba was fighting with Yuichi.

"do not fight."

"Huh? You're not playing anymore?"

Chiba looked disappointed.

Yuichi was even more frustrated. After holding back for a while, he said, "You're too smart. If I keep fighting with you, you'll learn all my swordsmanship."

"It's not that exaggerated."

He was always there to help out.

Yuichi refused to make a move no matter what.

He had just wanted to stop, but the two little girls spurred him on for a while longer. When he looked closely, he realized that his underwear was almost completely stolen.

He looked at Kakashi and couldn't help but say, "As expected of the disciple of the Copy Ninja, even this ability is inherited from him."

"???"

Kakashi's single eye revealed a deep sense of bewilderment.

We rely on the Sharingan and comprehension, while others rely entirely on comprehension; we're not even on the same path.

Is this even related?

“Mr. Yuichi, I am far inferior to you in terms of swordsmanship and timing, but there is still room for improvement in both swordsmanship and timing, as well as the use and coordination of muscle strength.”

"???"

Yuichi stared at Chiba strangely.

good boy!

Not only did they steal my knowledge, but they also started teaching me?

“Throw it at me every day.”

"it is good."

Every day, they manipulated a bunch of tree branches with steel wires, and then they all attacked Chiba together.

Chiba stood there, unmoved.

The moment the branch arrived...

Lean forward, grip the handle, draw the knife.

It was as smooth as an limb, and completed in one go.

The blade flashed and the wood dust filled the air. After a flurry of movements, the blade returned to its sheath, leaving Chiba completely untouched.

"You used some kind of secret technique to enhance your power? No, you even maximized that enhanced power. The way you drew your sword and the force you used were also very clever. How... how did you do that!"

Yuichi was stunned.

He had never seen Lord Mifune wield a sword, but he imagined that Lord Mifune's iaido slash must have looked something like this.

Kakashi, Tenzo, and the others were also secretly surprised.

The secret service also practices swordsmanship, so of course they can tell the difference between good and bad swordsmanship.

If they really had to give an evaluation, they would only have one sentence—

"Perfect, flawless!"

"So there really are geniuses like this in the world!"

Yuichi's face was full of bitterness.

He spent his entire life studying and learning swordsmanship, but what he researched was not as good as the swordsmanship that others could come up with in a day after seeing it. This was a huge blow to him.

"What I have is nothing compared to the many first and second generation of film masters vying for supremacy back then. That was a true gathering of geniuses."

"..."

Yuichi didn't know how to evaluate it.

He had heard of the past glory of the five villages.

The first and second generation of Kage were either shrewd individuals or exceptionally intelligent geniuses, but he dared to say that Chiba, born in that era, would still be a top-tier figure.

Chiba then went on to explain the techniques of Iaijutsu in detail.

Yuichi didn't want to listen, but the other party mentioned so much valuable information that he simply couldn't refuse.

After exchanging ideas, he stopped being so secretive.

They chatted about everything from swordsmanship to Bushido, and the five of them, excluding the ANBU ninja, had a very pleasant conversation. Later, Kazusa asked several questions, which he answered one by one.

There is no never-ending feast.

In the evening, Yuichi refused the offer of an escort from the Dark Guard squad and headed north with his sword.

This samurai fought his way out of the Land of Iron and returned to it with a sword.

He came alone, and he left alone.

A very stubborn samurai.

Chapter 53 Teacher, let's cooperate with Danzo.

On the way back, Tenten and Kazusa found it hard to calm down.

"Chiba, will he be alright?"

During breaks, he would whisper to himself every day.

"do not know."

Chiba is just a little bit more perceptive; he's not some kind of diviner.

He had no idea whether the samurai would live or die on this journey.

but.

"The Kiyota clan will never succeed. If the Takumi Ninja Village had any will to resist, it wouldn't have dragged on until now."

"Chiba is right. Both sides are just a small group of people trying to muddy the waters, and it will definitely come to nothing in the end."

Let alone the land of craftsmen and the land of iron, even if we add the land of waterfall to the mix, it would still be wiped out by the great powers.

Tian Tian smiled and said, "I thought of that too!"

"Just like we have our own ninja way?"

I sigh every day.

"Tenten, this is your goal, not your own ninja way. Your ninja way is what kind of ninja you want to become."

Chiba reminded him as he ran.

“A samurai like Mr. Yuichi has his own goals, and he will not give up until he achieves them. We cannot dissuade him, so we can only offer our silent blessings.”

He seemed lost in thought every day.

Kakashi gave him an approving look.

The current ninja world has stabilized after the three Shinobi World Wars. These small countries cannot rise to power with just one or two weapons.

After Chiba's reminder, she also thought about her own goal.

He remained silent and lost in thought every day.

Kazusa, however, did not hesitate: "I will prove that even a female ninja can become an outstanding swordsman!"

"Well, that's true, but I'm still worried about Mr. Yuichi. He's a good samurai."

Simply traveling is a bit boring for these ninjas, so chatting like this is quite nice.

The neutrality of the Iron Country and the Craftsman Country is an inevitable trend.

Kakashi nodded in agreement, then began to guide them: "So, Tenten and Kazusa, what is your ninja way?"

Therefore, she did not hesitate.

Previously, she envied Tian Tian for being able to find her own interests.

"Kazusa said in a low voice."
