"Chiba-senpai."

"Shino, how have you been cultivating lately?"

Chiba unconsciously brought a hint of a smile.

He still admires Shino very much.

He was very studious in the medical class before, and his introverted personality made him less likely to trouble others, more of a silent study by himself, and occasionally gave everyone some surprises.

I haven't seen him for a while, and his physical skills have obviously improved-

Although it can't be compared with Hinata and Ya.

"I have worked physical surgery, but the effect is not good, the bugs are very smooth, and the medical knowledge is learning."

Shino reported simply and directly.

But.

Sunset, who is familiar with him, knows very well that Shino is trying to restrain himself.

It seems that he really respects Chiba.

Sunset Red Heart.

"Well, if the effect is not good, you have to practice, if you want to become a ninja, it's best not to leave yourself with obvious shortcomings, especially you oil girls."

"Yes."

Shino the oil girl bowed deeply.

Chiba waved his hand, signaling him not to be so polite.

It's just some unimportant pointers, and you can't even talk about them.

Then, he looked at Hinata.

Speaking of which......

This should be the second time and not the third time to meet Hinata, but it is also the only time when Hinata is not present.

Chiba pondered for a moment and said, "Hinata's words, I think you are talented, but you lack self-confidence and strong will, if you can overcome these two points, sooner or later you can become a ninja in your own right." ”

"Yes...... Yes, thank you. ”

Hinata responded in a low voice.

Her personality has always been like this, which is a headache, and this is the reason why Rizu gave up on her.

Chiba sighed silently, looked at the tooth one last time, and then ......

"Remember the homework."

"Huh?"

With his teeth and face down, how did he get to himself is a warning and reminder.

He couldn't understand it, but Chiba was already pacing away.

Sunset pursed her lips and smiled, "Chiba talked to me before, and your problem is in the operation he gave you, and if you understand that technique, you won't have much trouble." ”

Of course.

There's also a problem with arrogance.,But there's a problem with character.,Even if Chiba says it, he won't realize it.,Let's talk about it when he hits the wall himself.。

Chiba walked on the way back, pondering ninjutsu while thinking about who Tiantian and Sasa's third teammate would let be.

After thinking about it, there was only one suitable one in my mind.

Yakushi's Pocket!

He's the only one who is shinobi, and he just died two teammates-

Although both of them were killed by Orochimaru and belonged to Orochimaru's men, he was the only single and suitable participant in the middle ninja exam.

Even if you go to find three generations, it is estimated that the final match is also a pharmacist.

Who would have thought he was a spy?

Chiba narrowed her eyes.

Looks like I'm going to have to find a chance to talk to the pharmacist.

I don't expect him to be able to provide much help to Tian Tian and Kazusa, but at least he can't delay acting in the exam.

As he walked, he turned his pen around, thinking about how to talk to Dou.

No doubt.

If you want Emperor Dou to do something, you can't just give benefits, so he will only treat you as a fool and a wronged person, and he will never obey.

"Let's have a showdown, as I had planned, and develop him into my man."

"It belongs to the tripartite agent of Orochimaru, Scorpion, and me."

Chiba couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The only one in the entire ninja world who can achieve this achievement is probably the Medicine Master.

Solving the problem of Yakushidou and his teammates, his mind returned to ninjutsu, and the mental defense was initially completed, although the effect was not satisfactory, but at least it could resist a certain degree of illusion attack.

As for psychic attacks.

He thought about it and decided that it was not a good time to study it.

Maybe......

Sunset Red's experience is delivered, and there will be some new inspiration after reading it yourself.

At present, the cost performance is too low.

"Next, do you want to study the Seven Heavens Calling Method or the Defensive Body Technique?"

Chiba thought about it again and again, and finally decided that it was the latter.

The former was studied by Kakashi-sensei.

Kakashi is not very reliable in the small things, but he is very conservative in the important things and generally does not forget.

If you remember correctly......

On this mission, Kakashi should have a "break" for a while.

"It's a bit of a hassle to defend the body."

Chiba rubbed her temples.

The ninja world seems to be a bunch of "absolute defense", but in fact, they are all kinds of goods, and the defensive body technique is extremely rare, and there are very few techniques that can be referenced.

One is to return to heaven.

But the strength of the return to the sky is average, and the difficulty is extremely high, and it is impossible for other ninjas except for the Hyuga clan to learn it.

The other is the Thunder Dun Armor.

This technique is very valuable for reference, but it's a pity that Konoha doesn't have it, it's the housekeeping ninjutsu of Yunyin Village.

Kakashi-sensei......

Anyway, I haven't seen him use it, and I guess I haven't been able to meet a copyable object.

"But even if there is none, the principle can actually be deduced, but the skills are a little worse, and the effect may be some gaps."

It's like a beggar's version of your own monster power.

His strange power is actually based on the principle of Tsunade's strange power technique in his memory, and it is reversed and evolved, and the power is probably difficult to compare with Tsunade's strange power technique.

But.

His technique is not without merit.

One is simplicity and requires less chakra control, and the other requires less chakra volume.

The trade-off is greater side effects.

No way.

There are advantages and disadvantages, and nothing in the world is perfect.

Chiba returned to Konoha and already had a preliminary idea in his mind-

Use the chakra mode and muscle control to complete the reinforcement and expansion of the body surface, and achieve a strengthening effect similar to "iron block".

At present, it is an idea, and whether it will succeed or not remains to be further developed.

……

"Three generations of adults."

"Lu Jiu, it must be very hard for you to go to Kyoto to deal with them, right?"

"Where, with the help of the landlord host, the daimyo quickly understood the reason for the cooperation between the two of us, and I basically didn't bother much, but the daimyo also has some of his own demands."

Lu Jiu said, handing over a paperwork.

Three generations took over.

The seal of the Daimyo's Mansion was printed on it, and when it was opened, the text inside was written by the Daimyo himself.

It seems that the daimyo took it very seriously.

Three generations of hearts.

He began to read the text carefully, looked at it from it, and finally placed the paper on the table.

"Lujiu, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay to agree, the Daimyo-sama wants to watch the middle ninja exam, in addition to judging the difference in strength between Konoha and other villages, he should also have the mind to observe the ability of our ninjas."

Shikaku spoke his guess.

The Daimyo wanted to form his own forces in his early years, and the Guardian Twelve came because of this, but after the Guardian Twelve fell apart, the Daimyo seemed to be no longer attached to the ninja power.

However.

It turns out that no one in the upper position does not want to master the ninja, at least he has to have his own protective power.

The same goes for the daimyo.

"He should want to extract the ninja monks from the Temple of Fire and let them be used as a protective force."

The third generation said thoughtfully.

Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "So that's the case, the daimyo also talked to Jilu alone in private, but Jilu didn't seem to want to agree, and this condition was negotiated later." ”

"Why?"

Three generations are puzzled.

He had spoken to Jiriku, and the other party didn't look like he respected Hokage and Konoha and was more like a neutral.

But.

As the former Guardian Twelve, if the Daimyo asks for it, Jilu should not refuse.

Why don't you want to say yes?

"I guess it may have something to do with Chiba's cooperation, that kind of special power, maybe it's difficult to cultivate in the Daimyo Mansion."

Lu Jiu said.

The three generations thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Jilu shouldn't have completely refused, and even gave the daimyo some ideas, and what the daimyo wants to see is our attitude." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Of course, they are invited to observe."

Three generations smiled.

If it was before, he would have been more worried about the safety of the Daimyo, but now it is different, the spiritual power of the Yamanaka clan is in harmony with special equipment, which is enough for the Daimyo from a very long distance to observe the situation in the examination room.

As for the safety of the trip.

They have a flying thunder array composed of three people from Shiranui Genma, and through the flying thunder array, they can directly send the daimyo to Konoha.

The level of security is full.

But.

How to take the Zhongnin exam this time?

The third generation originally planned to follow the previous test method, but thinking of Chiba's performance in Sand Hidden Village last time, he had a new idea-

"Lu Jiu, the matter of the daimyo is like this for the time being, you go and rest first, this time has worked hard for you."

"Yes!"

Lu Jiu knew that the three generations were going to arrange the middle ninja exam in advance, and there must be some orders next.

He exited the office.

……

Chiba rarely slept at home, but before it was time to get up, there was a knock on the door outside.

Knock knock.

Very rhythmic knocking sound.

If it weren't for knocking on his door, Chiba would have liked it more, but now, he only felt that the people outside were noisy.

Get up and wash up.

Then, listlessly, he opened the door.

"Utsuki-senpai, what's the matter with you?"

The moon is shining.

Although she wears a mask, the striking hair color and chakra aura betray her identity.

The other party was silent for a moment.

Glancing at the room, she hesitated for a second and then said, "Is it convenient to go in and talk?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not convenient, let's go and talk later, I'm sure there are no people around."

Chiba gestured to a vegetable patch behind her.

Mao Yue Xiyan nodded.

She followed Chiba to the back of the house, walked among the ridges, sorted out the wording, and said, "Chiba-kun, I am also a member of your research institute, and I will not hide some things from you. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm now the Captain of the Dark Army."

"Ugh."

Chiba was a little puzzled at first.

What did the Dark Captain tell me about?

But then.

He understood the plans of the three generations and the moon and the sunset.

It's eyeing yourself.

But.

Chiba smiled: "Your strength is fully qualified to become the leader of the dark army, I will not be surprised at all." ”

Utsuki Xiyan was empty-eyed and didn't believe Chiba's nonsense.

Her voice came from under the mask again.

"This is one thing, and the other thing is, you should know that the middle ninja exam is approaching, right? The three generations of adults hope that you will be in charge of the process of this year's Natsunin exam. ”

"I'm going to study a new ninjutsu recently, and I still have very important things to do, so I don't have time at all, and the middle ninja exam is usually a formality."

Something that doesn't matter at all, wasting precious time?

Chiba was a little speechless.

Fortunately, the third generation had known that he would say this.

Mao Yue Xiyan explained again.

"This time is different, the Daimyo, the land of the Temple of Fire, etc., will participate, so it is more important, and the three generations will want to say that you will make a move."

"I'll talk to the three generations of adults, and I'm sorry for you to make a special trip for this."

Chiba was not embarrassed.

Let yourself undertake the Zhongnin exam, you can't let yourself go with a touch of your mouth, and the three generations always have to give a charter and benefits, otherwise he doesn't want to be distracted by such a boring thing.

If you don't slaughter a piece of meat from the three generations, I'm really sorry for the attitude of the three generations who want to come to the door.

Without waiting for Utsuki Xiyan to answer, Chiba had already disappeared in place.

Subsequently, inside the Hokage's office.

Chiba knocked on the door.

"Hokage-sama, you should know that I've been very busy lately, and the middle ninja exam process can be done directly according to the previous one, so why bother to modify it? It's not necessarily a good thing to be modified. ”

"This is a special situation."

The three generations reluctantly explained the situation one by one.

Chiba listened to it......

No idea.

The ninja world is too dangerous, and it's normal for a daimyo to want to protect ninjas, and if he is a daimyo, he also wants to engage in his own escort team.

But.

"Hokage-sama, if you want the daimyo to agree to our cooperation with the Temple of Fire, you don't have to show him the shinobi exam."

Chiba put forward his own thoughts, "Defensive ninjutsu such as flying thunder arrays, sealing techniques, and defensive enchantments are what he cares about." ”

"You can do it together."

"You know, I haven't had a lot of free time lately."

Chiba shook her head.

The third generation said: "Do you want the ape clan contract? ”

"Not interested."

"What have you been working on lately, maybe I can find a way to help you."

The three generations had no choice but to change conditions.

Fortunately, the ape demon didn't know.

When has it ever been so disliked?

I didn't have a chance to send it out twice, which is really a bit insulting to the monkey.

"Mental power direct attack type ninjutsu!"

Chiba's eyes lit up-

He remembered that among the forbidden arts, there was a technique called the Spiritualization Technique, which could directly make the soul get out of the body and kill the enemy.

You don't need to learn everything.

As long as you get some knowledge, you can combine the two to create a spiritual attack technique that suits you, and borrow spiritual energy with the same spiritual power......

Isn't that thing any better than illusion?

The three generations were silent for a second, then sighed and said, "You just say that you want the Spiritualization Technique." ”
