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

"Chiba-kun, I heard you were unconscious. Are you alright?"

I'm always out of breath from running around.

Behind them, Xiao Li peeked out quietly, but quickly shrank back when he saw them.

Chiba chuckled, "Of course I'm fine. I just ran out of chakra. I'll be fine after a rest. By the way, how have your classes been lately?"

"Fortunately, after knowing that we could graduate early, everyone worked very hard. I heard that those few truant kings in the lower grades rarely skip classes now."

As Tian Tian was talking about this, she suddenly held up her index finger, "Oh right, except for that guy named Naruto Uzumaki, he's still skipping classes, and even more often than before."

At this moment, Xiao Li quietly peeked out.

"I got second in the class every day, only a little behind Neji, hehe, I'm going to train now."

"Hey! Do you have to say it?"

He was furious every day, but Xiao Li would run away as soon as he finished speaking.

Chiba got up from the bed in the lounge, took out his notebook, opened it to a page, and handed it to her.

I'm a little puzzled by how he always looks down.

"Chakra threads are a byproduct of ninjutsu research. We don't know puppetry, but they seem quite useful for manipulating kunai, shuriken, and other hidden weapons."

"It's too precious, I can't accept it!"

Understand its value every day.

Its difficulty is at least B-rank, and many Chunin may not even have the opportunity to learn it.

"Ninjutsu was developed to make people stronger, otherwise it would be meaningless. Your skill with hidden weapons is very good, but it's just hidden weapons. You'll be powerless against some enemies."

Chiba said earnestly.

"How could that be! Don't underestimate me, my hidden weapons are not just the kind you learn at school."

Tian Tian pouted.

She felt that her throwing performance was definitely hampered by the school's curriculum limits; if the difficulty had been higher, she would never have tied for first place for two consecutive years.

"What if we encounter a powerful wind-style attack?"

“Ordinary wind jutsu, impossible… Fine, I know your good intentions, but I can’t accept it without a reason.”

He said it persistently every day.

Chiba thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "I remember your family sells knives, right? I've been thinking about practicing with knives lately, so why don't you help me pick out a good one?"

"Alright, thanks. If you don't know how to use a sword, come find me."

Tian Tian started to seriously review her notes.

She has a pretty strong personality, much stronger than Sakura, who says she'll rely on herself but actually asks Naruto for help whenever she's in trouble.

If it's Sakura Haruno...

Chiba doesn't care if she dies.

After reading it, Tenten fell into deep thought, and then said, "According to your notes, you want to condense chakra into weapons, and release multiple of them at the same time?"

"It cannot be simply called a weapon, but a needle that can be perfectly controlled. I can make it take whatever form I want, and it can condense instantly upon attack without the need for hand seals."

"This is what I ultimately pursue."

Chiba explained.

Tian Tian nodded, understanding why Chiba had come to the medical class.

In terms of chakra control, the medical team is the strongest.

Furthermore, she had a feeling that Chiba's ideas were not so simple, and that this so-called "needle" must have a more terrifying purpose.

She ultimately didn't ask any more questions, but simply carefully copied it down, intending to study it slowly when she got back.

Not everyone has the exceptional learning ability of Chiba.

Actually, Chiba's thoughts weren't that complicated.

The reason it's called a "needle" is twofold: firstly, it's sharp and causes minimal damage; secondly, it can be used with a variety of techniques, such as the "Luan Shen Chong" technique. Furthermore, another purpose of his study at the hospital was to explore acupoints.

Without the ability to see acupoints, Chiba plans to learn and explore some common acupoints through study and daily contact.

By then, the effects of chakra needles will go beyond just treatment.

Chiba contemplated the Bodhi seed for a moment.

Not much change.

If I had to describe it, there were three not-so-short, pattern-like grooves on the surface: one deep and long, the second short, and the third long but very shallow.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a consciousness closely connected to him, Chiba wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Do these three correspond to the two techniques I transmitted and the soldier's rations?"

Chapter 9: Is the Third Generation Interested in Me?

The deeper ones are chakra needles.

Shallower...

Chakra threads?

The shorter one should be a soldier's ration pill.

The varying depths of the seeds are likely due to their influence. Furthermore, spreading wisdom and knowledge allows the Bodhi seeds to receive "nourishment" and gradually grow.

The two ravines are proof of this.

Chiba breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the pattern was figured out, the direction ahead became much clearer.

He thought for a moment and began to analyze the two techniques that had been circulating.

From a ninjutsu perspective, chakra needles certainly have enormous potential, but correspondingly, they are also extremely difficult. An A+ difficulty level has deterred countless ninjas, and even if it can be simplified, it is still at least an A difficulty level.

The latter's influence is definitely weaker than the former's. After all, Sunagakure has long been adept at using chakra threads to control ninja tools and puppets. However, this also means that it is not difficult and is very widespread.

"Hehe, you're awake?"

"Based on this analysis, what is suitable for large-scale promotion at present is actually chakra threads. It's just a matter of how many patterns need to be accumulated before Bodhi can transform again."

Using chakra like yesterday is still a rare occurrence; under normal circumstances, one's own chakra is sufficient.

To truly rest easy, one must rely on the Bodhi tree that guides one through life.

Never mind, there's no rush.

Physical skills cannot be neglected.

Chiba got up, stretched, and then loosened his muscles a little.

After much deliberation, he came up with a second goal.

As for my mental state, I woke up feeling refreshed, but I couldn't immediately tell if I had made any progress.

Whether it's ninja tool manipulation or puppetry, the Sand Village has set a high bar, making it quite easy to imitate, while Konoha is completely blank in this area.

He had thought that with "two patterns," he could at least gain some benefits, but after trying it carefully, it seemed that there was no significant change in his body.

"Let's try chakra threads first, they're easy to use."

Busy!

The Jonin might look down on it, but the ninjas below the Jonin level would definitely be happy for Konoha to have such a ninjutsu.

"Luckily I don't have to go to class now, otherwise even I wouldn't be able to do so many things at the same time."

However, by testing the chakra levels, we can still get some results.

We still need to figure out puppetry and such.

Chiba knew very well that both taijutsu and ninjutsu had their limits, and even if he were fortunate enough to learn sage techniques in the future, it would still be extremely difficult to face Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Chiba sighed silently.

He still needs to work on his medical knowledge, after all, he's only just begun to understand it—at least that's how he sees it.

The human spirit is the most wondrous thing. In Konoha, only the Yamanaka clan is truly dedicated to this path, but the Yamanaka clan's techniques are secret, and Konoha's archives don't contain that kind of knowledge.

Ok?

Chiba was startled; that voice…

What's he doing here?!

"Hokage-sama."

"Ahem, I just came to check on things. Thanks to your help, that Nara kid is out of danger now. Shikaku and I were just at the hospital when we stopped by to see if you were awake."

The third generation explained.

Chiba looked in the direction of the voice and saw that there was another person standing behind the Third Hokage. After the Third Hokage finished speaking, he stepped forward and said, "If it weren't for you, Shiki would definitely not have been able to become a ninja. The Nara family is extremely grateful!"

"Lord Shikaku, there's no need for that. I was just doing my best."

Chiba quickly stopped him.

Shikaku didn't say a word, bowed solemnly, and then nodded to the Third Hokage, saying, "Hokage-sama, I'll go check on Shiki first."

"Go."

The three generations nodded.

Chiba watched him leave, then felt something was off.

They must have seen Nara Shikei, right?

and so.

The third generation wants to speak to me alone?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Hokage, was that Chunin senior rescued?"
