In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

"You're good, you have room to grow," Artoria said with a smile.

"This is just the beginning, and I will work even harder!" Lei Dou responded confidently, his fighting spirit ignited within him.

"You've passed the test, welcome to join us." Xia Mu nodded, giving him his approval.

"Thank you! I will do my best!" Lei Dou's eyes shone with excitement.

"Next, we will face even more challenges together," Uchiha Izumi added, his expression serious.

"I will definitely not let you down!" Lei Dou clenched his fist, full of confidence.

Under the sunlit plains, a new partnership quietly forms, and the three embark on an adventure into the future together.

With Raito joining them, their journey will be even more exciting, and the battles to come will be even more hopeful.

As morning light filtered through the leaves and fell upon the earth, Natsuki, Artoria, Izumi Uchiha, and Raito continued their journey.

After spending several days together, the relationship between the four of them gradually deepened.

"Where are we going today?" Lei Dou asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"I've heard there's a mountain village ahead where many ninjas are training," Uchiha Izumi replied, her gaze resolute.

“Then let’s go take a look, maybe we can make some new friends!” Artoria’s voice was clear and full of anticipation.

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must work together," Xia Mu said earnestly, his gaze sweeping over each of his companions.

The four gazed at each other, each understanding the significance of the other's presence.

“That’s right, unity is strength!” Lei Dou nodded, his expression high.

Every step of their journey, they felt each other's support and trust, as if they had become a community of shared destiny.

Over the next few days, the four continued to traverse forests and mountains, and their bond deepened.

On a sunny afternoon, they stopped and sat on a rock to share their stories.

"How did you become ninjas?" Raito asked curiously, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I've always longed to be strong, to protect the people I love," Artoria said softly with a slight smile.

"...Me too. I used to watch the ninjas in the village fight for everyone, and my heart was filled with longing," Uchiha Izumi continued, her eyes revealing determination.

"I've experienced many setbacks and lost friends, which made me realize the importance of partners." Xia Mu's voice became heavy, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"My partners are the strength that keeps me going." He paused, then continued.

"We fight side by side, and no matter how big the difficulties we encounter, we will never give up on each other."

After hearing this, Lei Dou was deeply moved.

“I didn’t have many friends growing up, and I always felt lonely fighting alone.” He lowered his head slightly, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

“But now, I have partners like you.” Lei Dou’s voice became firm and full of strength.

"The time spent together is the most precious," Artoria said softly, silently agreeing in her heart.

190: Let's regroup and set off together!

“That’s right. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, we will face it together.” Uchiha Izumi smiled slightly, her eyes filled with warmth.

“This is our common goal!” Xia Mu added, his tone brimming with confidence.

The atmosphere among the four gradually became warmer, and their trust in each other became more solid.

In the days that followed, they trained continuously, helped each other, and improved their ninjutsu and combat skills.

Lei Dou's potential gradually emerged, and he became an indispensable member of the team.

After one training session, Xia Mu decided to give Lei 477 some special guidance.

"Today I'll teach you some techniques about chakra control," Xia Mu said earnestly, his gaze gentle.

"Thank you! I will study hard!" Lei Dou said with bright eyes, full of anticipation.

Xia Mu patiently explained, leaving no detail overlooked, and vividly demonstrated the use of chakra.

"You need to concentrate and feel the flow of chakra," Xia Mu instructed, and Lei Dou listened attentively.

After several attempts, Lei Dou gradually mastered the technique, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

"I did it!" he shouted, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

"Very good! Keep up the good work, you will be even stronger in the future!" Xia Mu replied with a smile, feeling gratified.

"You really are a good teacher!" Lei Dou said happily, his admiration for Xia Mu growing even stronger.

During this time together, Artoria and Izumi Uchiha gradually found their own roles.

“Let’s practice together and spar with each other,” Artoria suggested, her eyes filled with determination.

“Good idea, I also want to improve my strength,” Uchiha Izumi replied, a fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.

The two began to fight, their swords flashing and ninjutsu clashing and intertwining in the air.

As the battle progressed, their tacit understanding deepened, as if an invisible connection had been formed.

(bfee) "What excellent teamwork." Xia Mu watched from the sidelines, secretly admiring the performance.

Time slipped away quietly amidst their laughter and joy, and the bond between the four grew ever stronger.

One day, while they were resting on the mountaintop, Lei Dou suddenly asked a question.

"What do you think is the most important thing between partners?" he asked curiously.

Artoria pondered for a moment, then said, "Trust and support."

“That’s right.” Uchiha Izumi nodded in agreement. “In battle, mutual trust is essential to unleash true power.”

“I think communication is also important,” Xia Mu added, his gaze firm. “Being able to share ideas in a timely manner is essential for better cooperation.”

“Therefore, we need to keep communicating.” Lei Dou nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The four looked at each other, their hearts filled with warmth and understanding.

They understood that the journey ahead would be even more difficult, but as long as they stayed close together, they could overcome anything.

"No matter what we encounter in the future, we will walk together!" Lei Dou solemnly promised, his gaze unwavering.

"Absolutely no problem!" the other three responded in unison, full of confidence.

In this heartwarming moment, their bond grew stronger, becoming an indispensable source of strength for each other.

With the gentle breeze and sunshine, they continued their new journey, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future.

The morning sunlight filtered through the treetops and fell on Xia Mu's face.

191: Arriving in the village, greeted with a warm welcome!

He woke up from his dream to the sound of birdsong and felt the tranquility of nature.

Last night, the four of them sat around the campfire, sharing their stories, and the warm atmosphere made him feel incredibly welcome.

"Today I'm going to explore that mountain village," Xia Mu thought to himself, preparing for the challenges of a new day.

After a period of adjustment, the four have become inseparable partners.

He stood up, ready to wake the others.

"Everyone, wake up!" Xia Mu's voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

Soon after, Artoria and Izumi Uchiha got up one after the other, while Raito seemed particularly excited.

"There will definitely be many new discoveries today!" Lei Dou said loudly, his face beaming with anticipation.

“I hope to find some interesting ninjas,” Artoria replied with a smile, her eyes revealing determination.

"We must remain vigilant and not let our guard down," Uchiha Izumi said seriously, her eyes alert.

After a quick breakfast, the four packed their gear and set off towards the mountain village.

During the journey, Xia Mu frequently recalled his past experiences.

His Evil King's True Eye is not only a powerful force, but also a burden on his heart.

"What do those eyes mean?" Xia Mu wondered, his gaze becoming deep.

He remembered the vow he made with his companions: no matter how difficult things got, they would walk together.

"This journey might help me find the answer," he secretly resolved.

As they traversed the forest, Xia Mu and Lei Dou walked side by side, sharing their thoughts.

"Xia Mu, your Evil King's True Eye is truly powerful," Lei Dou said, his eyes filled with admiration.

"But it also brought a lot of trouble," Xia Mu replied frankly, a hint of bitterness on his face.

"How did you withstand this power?" Lei Dou asked curiously.

“Every time I use it, I can feel the pressure on it,” Xia Mu said seriously. “I have to be vigilant at all times and not let it get out of control.”

“You will find a way that suits you,” Lei Dou said, his tone full of confidence.

With his encouragement, Xia Mu felt a warmth in her heart and gradually let go of her burden.
