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

The trees are frozen in time.

boom!

With each punch, all the tree branches were broken by the invisible fist.

Although the trees grew extremely fast and recovered quickly, they couldn't withstand Chiba's fists, which were even faster. In the blink of an eye, the trees became bare, and all the chakra belonging to the Ten-Tails had been extracted.

"What I give you is yours; otherwise, you can't take it, understand?"

Chiba withdrew his power and then spoke calmly.

Ten-Tails Chakra!

He took a moment to feel it.

Chiba had never seen the real Ten-Tails chakra, but he could sense the powerful force contained within it.

It's still a little short.

He frowned.

but.

This state is very close to the Ten-Tails, but there are still some minor flaws. It would be almost impossible to achieve the Six Paths state with this.

but.

I should be able to use this to achieve the effect of Yin-Yang Escape and create a Truth-Seeking Ball.

Chiba pondered how to use it.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"It should still have subtle differences from the real chakra, after all, I was created using the cells of the First Hokage, so there is a difference between it and the original."

Chiba said.

Nine-Tailed Fox asked, "What's the next step?"

"Let's see first. Anyway, it's definitely the right thing to do to prevent them from stealing. Even if they want to call you over to play games, we won't let them succeed."

Chiba laughed and said, "Let's go. This thing probably consumes a lot of your chakra, so let's not synthesize too much for now."

"There really is such a tailed beast."

The nine-tailed fox sighed.

Now the leader doesn't need to fight for anything anymore. Nobody is the leader; they're all just things taken from others.

The tailed beasts became depressed and returned to the Forest of Death.

……

"How about it?"

"Well, to put it simply, the experiment was a success. I've sealed the thing inside away. It's too dangerous and has no other use, so it's best not to release it."

Chiba patted the sealing scroll.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to seal it away first.

Interstitial cell creation is not something everyone can control.

Besides himself, there is currently no one else in Konoha who can do this.

He left the research institute and went to the Hokage Building.

Time is precious.

……

"I synthesized that kind of chakra, and it is indeed very powerful. Even I have to use the strongest sealing technique to suppress it, and I feel that it is not even the limit."

Chiba said, "The Akatsuki should have a more suitable vessel, after all, they possess the Rinnegan, which is an ability we do not have."

"Whoo~"

Tsunade let out a long sigh of relief. "It's a good thing you mastered the power of the Tailed Beasts in advance. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what the consequences would have been if they had mastered them."

"Nothing will happen."

Chiba smiled slightly, "Even if they collect the tailed beasts on a large scale, the five great villages will eventually unite. After all, no one is a fool and can't just watch others become stronger without doing anything."

"Different."

Tsunade shook her head.

Why wait until the enemy is stronger before taking action if losses can be reduced in advance?

This is the optimal solution.

Konoha acted ahead of time, evacuating civilians from the village and minimizing casualties.

Although Konoha's profits will be affected in the short term, it's all worth it. As long as they deal with Akatsuki, they can still bring the villagers back.

“We can’t just keep waiting for the other side to attack; we need to make plans in advance. I’ll contact the other villages. Also, take a look at this.”

"what?"

Chiba took it and glanced at it, then his expression became slightly strange.

He looked up in surprise.

"Is Onoki visiting Konoha at this time?"

"Ah."

Tsunade nodded with a complicated expression. "Do you think he genuinely came to visit and ask for an alliance, or has he completely sided with the Akatsuki?"

"That's hard to say. Although I tricked the Akatsuki last time, Onoki may not necessarily side with us because of it. After all, he is Onoki of two scales."

Onoki's abilities are definitely among the best of all the third-generation ninjas, making him one of the most formidable enemies in the ninja world.

Chiba did not believe that his methods had worked.

More likely...

The other party, taking advantage of the situation, made a decision that leaned in one direction.

however.

Even Chiba couldn't guarantee which specific strategy it would be.

"Let him come over first. Anyway, we already have a bunch of enemies here. If he wants to make a move, we can use our hidden forces to wipe them all out."

"Other ninja villages?"

"Yeah, we're all working together to take down the Akatsuki, there's no reason for us to go it alone, is there?"

Chiba smiled.

The purpose of establishing this organization is to help each other.

If they don't save Konoha today, they can withdraw their defenses from Turtle Island tomorrow, and then we'll all be finished.

and.

The Akatsuki might not actually be able to conquer Konoha.

only……

Having more people around makes things more reliable.

Chiba doesn't want to go too big.

If Nagato doesn't save them, there will be real casualties in the end.

The plot of anime has become meaningless at this point.

And this moment.

One hundred thousand White Zetsu are heading towards Konoha.

They gathered intelligence along the way, but—

They had no idea that Konoha was already prepared, and Chiba had specifically instructed the Yamanaka clan to expand their defensive perimeter by a considerable distance.

Although it is impossible to clearly detect White Zetsu, a large number of White Zetsu movements can definitely be detected.

They don't need to investigate every single person.

All you need to know is roughly when it will arrive.

For several days in a row, Konoha's preparations became increasingly tense.

And at this time.

Most of the villagers had already evacuated, and outside Konoha, a message reached the village—

White Zealots spotted in the front-line defense zone!

a large amount.

These White Zetsu are even more powerful than ordinary White Zetsu clones, and their numbers are unbelievable.

Such power...

It is definitely not something that an ordinary ninja village can withstand.

It was passed on to Konoha.

Tsunade finally overcame her last bit of hesitation.

"Chiba, I've made up my mind. We'll bring Orochimaru out and make him atone for his crimes. His snakes are very useful in large-scale battles like this."

"I'll take the blame!"

Tsunade was resolute.

"it is good."

Chiba vanished in an instant.

There are several benefits to reviving Orochimaru.

One is—

He promised Kimimaro that he would be resurrected.
