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

As a former commander of the secret service, he was not a conservative person and knew that some methods were necessary.

"Of course, but I need to forge a sword and a steel wire that can be infused with chakra. You should study and research this during this time."

He had more important things to discuss with Kakashi.

This is indeed a rare opportunity.

"..."

"That's great! I definitely will!"

Then, he wanted to let Chiba and the others leave first so he could explain the situation to the Third Generation in private, but Chiba also had something to say.

This tactic couldn't be hidden from others at all, and Danzo actually represented Konoha. His seizure of ninja tools was no different from Konoha's seizure of ninja tools.

She wasn't particularly interested in ninja tools, but she was focused on getting back to practice her swordsmanship and didn't want to waste any more time on the road.

Kakashi nodded slightly.

Chiba did as instructed and went out. As soon as she stepped out of the Hokage Building, her right hand was grabbed.

That's chakra iron, and she's even trying it out? I can't believe she thought of that.

Chiba chuckled.

The third generation sighed helplessly and nodded.

How bold!

and.

The four then ate some soldier rations and set off again for Konoha.

Chiba isn't unwilling to return it; rather, he wants to fully understand it before doing so. Besides, the Takumi Ninja Village is in the wrong this time, so the other party certainly won't dare to speak loudly.

"This is a rare opportunity, and we are in the right this time."

He understood what Chiba meant, but...

"Don't rush to use it. If you make a breakthrough later, you can use the chakra iron for testing."

Kazusa...

Chiba said in a low voice.

Kakashi's eyes shifted rapidly.

The only thing sacrificed was Danzo's reputation.

"Lord Hokage, you haven't used the chakra iron you promised me last time, have you?"

He scratched his head and said, "Well, cough, I'll discuss it with the Hokage when I get back, but you shouldn't be thinking about these kinds of connections."

but.

Kakashi first gave a brief account of what had happened.

Kakashi originally had this idea.

After being provoked by Chiba, Kakashi and Tenten were both eager to return home.

After a moment of contemplation, he realized that it really was quite different.

Kazusa blushed as she watched.

He clenched his fist excitedly every day.

With the chakra iron right in front of her, she had to consider whether this was her only chance in this life.

After the initial excitement, she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotion and timidity.

"No, maybe we should forget it. This is precious chakra iron. Even the Hokage probably doesn't have much of it. What if I waste it?"

"Don't worry."

Chiba offered a word of comfort, then said, "If you're afraid, you should work even harder to improve yourself."

"Ok!"

Nod repeatedly every day.

She wants to go back and study ninja tools.

rest?

Let's wait until the research is complete before making a decision.

Kazusa hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Don't worry, Tian Tian is not a weak person. Pressure will only motivate her more."

"No, I mean, it's chakra iron after all."

Kazusa whispered.

"If we can cultivate an outstanding ninja craftsman, what does a little bit of chakra iron matter? If Tian Tian has the talent and ability in this area, I should support her."

Chiba stretched and said, "Let's go back and rest. Tomorrow might be very busy."

That must be you.

Kazusa thought to herself.

She knew very well that although Chiba-kun seemed to be just a genin, he was actually very different from them. Otherwise, the Third Hokage would not have deliberately built a team around him.

even.

They even invited Kakashi Hatake.

Copy Ninja.

She couldn't help but think of Yuichi, and then chuckled.

"why are you laughing?"

"No, I was just thinking that Kakashi-sensei and Chiba-kun are both good at learning each other's techniques, so who knows, the name of the Copy Ninja might end up being yours in the future."

"Not too possible."

Copying is the most basic approach.

The real skill lies in assimilating the enemy's ideas and making them entirely your own.

Chiba added in his mind.

In front of the Hokage Building, he said goodbye to Kazusa, and they went home separately.

upstairs.

The Third Hokage saw them off, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then said, "The Four Symbols Celestials? Who has their ninja tools?"

"Tenten wants to study ninja tools, and she has a great talent for it."

Kakashi then talked about Tenten's "Ninja Tool Notebook".

Although it imitates Chiba's approach, the content inside is indeed Tian Tian's original creation, and this talent is hard to hide.

As the Third Hokage was pondering this, Kakashi voiced his own thoughts.

After hearing this, he said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Kakashi, is this Chiba's idea?"

"Cough cough."

Kakashi coughed lightly. "In any case, this is a move that benefits Konoha, and it's also a fact that the Four Symbols Celestials wanted to attack our ninja team and start a war between the Land of Iron and the Land of Fire."

"If you hadn't noticed something was wrong, and another ninja team had taken on the mission, we definitely wouldn't have made it back."

The three generations nodded solemnly.

"Yes."

Kakashi is not humble.

Because it's true.

The Kiyota clan and the Four Symbols Celestials were perfectly neutralized this time not only because Kakashi was exceptionally strong, but also because he and Chiba devised a plan to divide and conquer them one by one.

A typical squad simply couldn't do that.

“The Ninja Village of Takumi is indeed in the wrong. I’m not afraid of them, but I’m worried that other ninja villages might have something to say about it.”

The three generations expressed their concerns.

The Four Great Ninja Tools are valuable items, and everyone has their own interests in them. The reason we haven't made a move for so many years is because we're wary of each other, and no one dares to provoke a war first.

He feared it was poisoned bait.

Kakashi thought for a moment, and was about to answer...

"Hiruzen, I think that brat's idea is quite good."

“We are the ones who were attacked this time. We are the victims. What do you have to worry about? At worst, we can use this time for research.”

"Backing down is not the solution."

A voice came from outside the door.

Then, Danzo pushed open the door and entered.

Kakashi frowned slightly.

The Third Hokage raised his pipe, smoking to conceal his expression, then waved his hand, signaling Kakashi to go down first.

Next, it's about his dealings with Danzo.

Chapter 55 The Leeks Are Growing

"Chiba-kun, you're back."

"Chiba-kun, you're finally back. About the special soldier rations..."

"Baicao, wait a minute. Modifying the soldier's ration pills is not as important as my chakra needles."

What are you saying?
