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

"..."

Kirabi pondered for a long time before handing her the knife in his hand.

Mabu looked over, puzzled.

Killer Bee gestured: "Poke through, pierce, break..."

"???"

"Idiot, bastard!"

Killer Bee went to practice his swordplay, feeling dejected.

Mabuyi pondered for a long time before gradually understanding Qilabi's tongue-twisting language, and then couldn't help but be somewhat astonished.

Using space-time ninjutsu to transfer the sword away?

She was holding a stack of documents, her feelings a complex mix of emotions.

That kind of people……

It's really terrible.

He can quickly come up with improved and imitated versions of any ninjutsu. Such a person's strength and creativity are enough to make many people feel ashamed.

The difference between people!

She sighed softly, and couldn't help but think of herself.

She has refined a divine gift technique to this day, but still has no clue how to master it.

……

Back at his temporary lodging, Chiba tried for a while, but finally sighed and gave up on further improvements.

His spatial and temporal talents do allow him to achieve this.

The issue is.

Chakra armor won't work.

It cannot support such complex chakra circulation; two or three times is already the limit, and any more than that is simply unrealistic.

but.

Chiba was already quite satisfied with just that.

This ninjutsu excels at its element of surprise.

Especially when dealing with a cunning old fox like Obito, you have to make him attack himself when he least expects it.

Who would be prepared to defend against their own ninjutsu attacks?

of course.

Aside from Obito, the others would also be somewhat useful. If they could take it a step further and make every part of the chakra armor function like the Flying Thunder God's lightning...

Unfortunately not.

Chiba himself only thought about it; it was basically impossible for him to do it.

"Hmm? Kabuto sent a message."

He stretched out his finger, and an insect landed on his fingertip.

This parasite is very special.

It has undergone special training and evolved its memory multiple times, enabling it to remember many entire paragraphs.

Then through memory replication—

Chiba can then reproduce the message that Kabuto needs to convey.

No paper is needed.

of course.

This wasn't Chiba's invention, but rather an improvement made by the Aburame clan themselves.

The Aburame clan are indeed experts when it comes to parasitic insects. Even Chiba couldn't think of many things, and even if he could, he wouldn't know how to cultivate them.

Only they know how to train and guide.

Through parasitic insects.

Chiba learned about the Akatsuki's recent movements.

"Nanabi."

"It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about Takigakure's unwillingness to participate."

The girl from Funa...

It's a real shame.

Chiba could understand the small-mindedness of Takigakure; they probably worried that the four major villages would join forces to devour their tailed beast jinchūriki, so they refused to send anyone.

however.

He couldn't imagine what kind of enemy he was facing.

Besides discussing Akatsuki's movements, Kabuto also mentioned another piece of information about the Akatsuki organization—

They sent him and Sasuke to the border of the Land of Earth to find a place called "Tsuchiza" to wait for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi.

Tuzha?

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

He had never heard of this place name before, but he could send the message back to the village and have his clone inquire about it.

……

One day later, near Mount Tsuchiza in the Land of Earth.

In a grove of trees, Old Purple lived in his habitat, closing his eyes to rest and wait for the day to pass.

however.

That's when.

A figure stepped into the cave.

How can you fall asleep at this hour?

"who?"

Old Purple instantly stood up, his chakra surging forth.

then.

He saw a figure walk in.

He was very tall, not very muscular, but his features suggested he was very handsome. He was wearing a long robe, and you couldn't tell where he was from just by his appearance.

Old Zi narrowed his eyes.

"who are you?"

"The person who came to find you... just do a small favor and stay where you are."

Chiba reached out his hand.

Rōshi's tailed beast chakra surged forth instantly, but soon he found himself unable to move. Upon closer inspection—

Two steel wires were wrapped around his body.

However, the steel wire did not have such a strong binding force. What was most terrifying was the chakra inside it, which tightly imprisoned the chakra in his body like a chain.

Not to mention Old Purple's own chakra, even the tailed beast's chakra was drawn back.

Who is this guy?

A flicker of fear crossed his eyes—

Old Zi could only watch helplessly as his body was covered in spells, unable to move an inch.

then.

He fell into a coma.

"The seal is complete."

Chiba put away the silk thread and then scratched his head.

Solving the old purple problem is easy.

After all, Old Purple had no idea who he was, his strength, background, or the ninjutsu he was good at. With such a lack of information, it was impossible for Chiba to be stronger than him...

Even if you are weaker than him, you still have a chance to counterattack instantly.

For ninjas, intelligence is of paramount importance.

Information is still quite important, at least until we encounter unreasonable opponents like Madara or Hashirama Senju.

Chiba's inner monologue.

Then, he placed his hand on the spot where Lao Zi's sealing technique was located.

Not long after——

A blazing chakra space appeared before Chiba's eyes.

This is the place where the Four-Tails is sealed.

"Sun Wukong?"

Chiba was somewhat curious.

In the anime, Sun Wukong's appearance was completely different from what he had expected, so he was slightly disappointed. In reality...

This was also as he expected.

He's still not very handsome.

It's completely different from the one in the previous life's Journey to the West.

It can be said.
