Even if those mindless fools scatter, I will still be with you...

Suddenly, the girl stopped speaking abruptly. As the Thunder God Sword was pulled from the rock wall, violent chakra energy had already filled her body.

His narrowed eyes watched warily at the dark sky and the thick clouds that obscured even the moonlight.

It seems that something terrifying is about to fall.

Not only Chino beside him was in a similar state, but also the powerful figures who had once been in this city.

"Raiga, it's him."

On the coastline, a child's voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Hmm? Him?"

Clearly, judging from the slightly questioning tone, the man being called did not immediately grasp the meaning of the voice's owner.

But in the next second...

Suddenly, a strange light burst forth from Yu Zhi's eyes, which were hidden by the wide cloak.

"Who is that?"

As he suddenly stood up, the certainty in his voice became even more overwhelming.

He had long been in sync with Ranmaru, and in the instant after his hesitation, he understood what the former meant.

"Ah."

"He, he, he's gotten stronger again."

"I'm starting to lose sight of things."

Ranmaru, peeking out from under the cloak, was filled with surprise and shock, his bloodshot eyes brimming with genuine awe.

If Raiga-sama is his faith, the meaning of his existence.

Then that one must be a god!

The god who sheltered me and Raiga!!

"Hold on tight, Ranmaru."

After silently discerning the increasingly approaching and undisguised aura, he vanished from the cold, rugged reef while issuing a warning.

South District

Zabuza Momochi, carrying a terrifying greatsword, looked at the giant eagle that emerged from the dark clouds with disdain.

"Tch, what are you doing back at this time?"

"They're just a bunch of clowns; how much of a splash can they make?"

"Or is it that you don't trust the power of my broken sword?"

The terrifying broadsword suddenly swung through the air, aimed directly at the giant eagle that was rapidly swooping down.

"I'll show you my power in a moment!!"

However, after muttering to himself in silence, his brows, which had been furrowed into a deep frown, quietly relaxed.

At the same time, a night breeze blew by.

As I focused my attention, the imposing figure standing tall in the darkness quietly disappeared from sight.

West District, Ninja Academy.

"...That concludes today's training."

"Go back to your dorms and get some rest."

Standing on the flat training ground, Bai subtly withdrew his slightly raised gaze, and then spoke softly to the few little ones in front of him.

Upon hearing this, several sounds of relief and slumping into seats filled the training ground.

The sky had already darkened.

Such intense training is something that, apart from Kirigakure, known for its bloody mist, and the ANBU assassins trained from childhood by various major forces, probably no ordinary ninja village would achieve.

"Teacher, we...we can still do it!"

But even so,

Even though sweat had already made her hair stick to her cheeks, and even though her whole body was still trembling.

But two little ones, around seven or eight years old, gritted their teeth and refused to stop as instructed, nor did they slacken their efforts.

Xiao Mo, Xiao Ling

Those are their names.

Those resolute and unwavering eyes represent their will.

When Bai's gaze met that of the two little ones, his eyes wavered slightly.

That resilience is just like my past self.

Have you found your own meaning so quickly?

A silent murmur arose in his heart.

But in the end, he did not respond to the two little ones' request.

"Training requires a balance between work and rest. Otherwise, high-intensity training will not bring commensurate rewards and may even cause irreversible damage to your body."

"The medicinal bath is ready. Go soak now, and then go back to rest."

He spoke in a cool, detached voice.

As for this medicinal bath formula, it was developed by Tsukasa Hirakawa, who was in the Void Zone, by drawing on the medicine used by Kirigakure to cultivate members of the Dark Guard, and by combining it with his past research and cultivation of gene beasts. It took him three years to develop.

In addition to repairing minor strains caused during physical training and relieving fatigue, it also has the ability to enhance an individual's physical fitness.

Of course, such medicinal baths are most effective for young children whose bone age has not yet closed.

"If I find you two disobeying me again and secretly practicing, then don't call me teacher anymore."

After a brief pause, Bai continued speaking indifferently.

This isn't the first time these two little guys have done it.

It is a good thing to be able to awaken one's own will.

However, without special bloodline support, and with a weak and low starting point, sustained high-intensity training is not a promising prospect for the future.

"Yes."

"Teacher Bai."

Such a warning clearly had an effect, especially on Xiao Mo, whose face stiffened upon hearing the consequences, and she hurriedly replied.

After seeing that her companion had compromised, Xiaoling, though still somewhat unwilling, responded anyway.

Furthermore, it is evident that her body is even more frail, and the veins under her skin can even be faintly seen on her slender wrists.

He must have been a little guy who had suffered before.

[It's just that the reason for the will that arose in Yu Zhi's heart is unknown.]

There was a hint of heartache in Bai's eyes.

However, now that he has received a positive answer, he should go there.

After the word "Disband" was uttered in a minimalist manner, the slender figure wearing a white mask silently transformed into a gust of snow wind and vanished from the spot.

"Clang clang clang!"

Martial Arts Area

Two similarly sized boys were locked in a frenzied and intense battle.

The stark white bones and the distinctive twin blades drew dazzling arcs against the night sky.

"Not enough, not enough."

"Your strength is not enough."

Kaguya Kimimaro casually parried the twin swords that slashed down at him; the terrifying white bones coiled around his body were his unique and absolute defense.

And his opponent was none other than Hozuki Mangetsu, hailed as a genius of the ninja sword.

Hearing the unpleasant comments, his eyes grew even colder, and he bit his lower lip tightly with a row of small shark teeth.

‘Wow! ’

After another collision, his body suddenly transformed into a torrent of water, which swept towards the white-haired boy in sight like ocean waves in an instant.

[Secret Technique: Water Transformation Technique!]

This is a secret technique unique to the Hozuki clan!

By engulfing the enemy through a completely hydrated body, it can exert an effect similar to a water prison technique.

It renders the opponent unable to move until they suffocate and die.

just,

Faced with such a special secret technique, Kaguya Kimimaro showed no sign of retreating, but simply raised her bone blade slightly and slammed it forward.

Instantly, water splashed everywhere.

Hozuki Mangetsu's body, which resembled a water giant, was instantly blasted open, leaving a gaping hole.

And under the subsequent onslaught of countless white bones, the water elemental's body bore more and more enormous holes!

The law of "trying to cut water with a knife only makes it flow more" simply doesn't apply here!

The healing power of the water flow was no match for the speed at which Kaguya Kimimaro swung her blade!

"What's wrong with your power?"

"How can they be so weak?"

"So much time has passed, haven't you found your own will, your own beliefs yet?!"

At the same time, he questioned in a cold voice.

It's like a martial arts master who's extremely demanding.
