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

of course.

Chiba sighed.

Kazusa's lightning release and swordsmanship.

It's actually a bit outrageous.

of course.

"This ninja tool needs to be used in conjunction with a barrier technique. It is not made entirely of iron; I have already noted the iron parts on it."

Domoto looked surprised, then nodded slightly. "Do you have the blueprints?"

Soon after, they met the person in charge of the place.

Before meeting Jiraiya, the prince's life was actually quite...

I deliver it to them every day.

"Hokage-sama?"

This approach won't work if it's Sasuke and his group.

"Grandpa Domoto, we are here on the orders of the Hokage to forge a ninja tool."

Kakashi didn't teach any specific techniques; he was more of a tool for answering questions.

"Have."

She even greeted some people she saw, clearly recognizing them; she seemed to know the place like the back of her hand, as if she were coming home.

Chiba glanced at it and sighed inwardly.

Chiba looked at Kakashi.

Tenten's ninja tools and Earth Release ninjutsu.

She has become obsessed with swordsmanship. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad at the moment, but it's better than having no direction at all.

As a teacher, he was quite responsible.

Kazusa practiced her swordplay on the road, completely absorbed in it.

It was through these experiences that Naruto matured from his initial naivety. Strangely enough, such an environment did not defeat him.

Quite that kind of thing.

None of those three were like him.

Domoto took the drawing and examined it carefully. He then nodded in approval and said, "I don't understand this drawing, but it is very well drawn and extremely neat."

Only what you learn through your own practice truly belongs to you.

The teacher may seem lazy, but in reality, he has been secretly observing them; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to provide precise guidance.

Her parents worked and studied here in their early years.

And myself.

The person in charge is called Tangben.

"Let's go."

Chiba stepped forward and pointed out one by one.

Domoto looked at it for a while, then looked at Chiba with some surprise: "You know about these things?"

Both barrier techniques and ninja tool combinations are highly advanced skills, and none of the craftsmen in the ninja tool factories today possess them.

The child in front of me was talking fluently, clearly indicating that he understood the subject.

"Understood."

"Ahem, Mr. Domoto, this ninja tool is currently in the experimental stage. Why don't we build it and try it out first?"

"Well... that's fine. Since it's the Hokage's order and Kakashi is here, there shouldn't be any problems. I'll have my men make it."

Domoto remained silent for a few seconds, then decisively changed the subject.

Who would rather be a craftsman than a ninja?

Most of the craftsmen in the factory were commoners, some even lower than genin, and could not experience the joy of being a genius.

"I want to try it too."

He volunteered every day.

Domoto paused for a moment, then looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded slightly.

"Okay, but you have to follow the factory rules."

"Yes!"

I happily followed along every day.

Chiba and the others followed behind. After arriving at the factory, Kazusa stopped practicing her swordsmanship and followed quietly behind.

Once the three of them were some distance away from Tenten and Domoto, she asked in a low voice, "Chiba-kun, what are the rules?"

"do not know."

Chiba's answer did not satisfy Kazusa.

Her shocked and surprised expression left Chiba somewhat speechless.

Is it...

Should I know this?

He sighed and said, "Tenten must have been here before. Her family sells ninja tools and weapons, so she must have connections."

"So it turns out you don't know everything after all."

"I don't read just any book. If I'm not going to work here, why should I care about their rules?"

Chiba's speechless rant.

Kazusa couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Kakashi stood to the side, holding a book in his hand and staring at the road, enjoying his multitasking.

He seemed to have forgotten his previous depression.

Domoto made the arrangements very quickly.

Upon arriving at the factory, he selected three of the best craftsmen to oversee the crafting, and then found a master craftsman for Tiantian.

Chiba and the others watched from the sidelines.

However, in addition to forged iron, there was also wood and barrier spells, so Domoto arranged for two craftsmen skilled in woodworking to create them.

Time passed quickly, and the wooden parts were completed.

"Senior, leave the rest to me."

Can we just stand by and watch?

Domoto hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

Many of these techniques are classified, but he was genuinely curious about the extent to which a child could learn barrier techniques.

Also.

Will this barrier ninja tool succeed...?

Kakashi glanced at Domoto, then squinted at the craftsmen, and said, "Let's go to the quiet room over there."

"Thank you so much!"

Domoto was extremely excited.

"It's not anything too confidential."

Chiba chuckled and shook his head, but did not refuse Kakashi's kindness. He went to a quiet room nearby, then took out a carving knife and a paintbrush and began to carve.

He can't carve, but his knife skills are excellent and his hands are steady.

that's enough.

The lines were engraved with perfect smoothness, and every horizontal and vertical line was neatly aligned.

That one move alone impressed Domoto.

Even if this child weren't a ninja, he could still become an outstanding craftsman.

Does that mean a genius is a genius in every field?

Even though he was over sixty years old, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Each technique was inscribed.

As the ink was applied, the technique gradually became apparent.

Kakashi's eyes hardened.

This barrier technique doesn't seem to be absorbed from within a barrier, but rather comes from another barrier technique, yet he feels like he's seen it somewhere before.

Where?

He couldn't help but ponder it carefully.

I thought about it for a long time—

A flash of inspiration struck Kakashi.

Fire Temple!

Two stone statues at the entrance of the Fire Temple.

"I see."

Kakashi understood.

Those two stone statues are the core of the Fire Temple's barrier technique. The incantation on them is clearly related to the conversion and gathering of chakra, and now Chiba has incorporated it into the absorption barrier.

That's amazing!
