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

In the simulated battle, Xia Mu and Chen Xing frequently coordinated their attacks, using a combination of water tornadoes and illusions that made it difficult for their opponents to react.

"That was amazing! Your teamwork was absolutely flawless!" Xiaoxue exclaimed in admiration.

“We will continue to work hard to ensure that everyone can participate!” Morning Star said proudly.

After several rounds of intense competition, the teammates' teamwork improved steadily, and the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.

"Everyone, let's go out for a nice meal tonight! To celebrate our progress!" Tie Dou suggested.

“Great idea! I know a good restaurant!” Xiaoxue chimed in.

So, the group decided to have dinner together that evening to relax and enjoy the time.

In the evening, the group gathered at the training ground and headed towards the restaurant Xiaoxue had mentioned.

The restaurant was bustling with activity and filled with delicious aromas. Xia Mu and his friends sat down and began ordering.

"I want this specialty ramen, and stewed meat too!" Tie Dou said.

"Xiaoxue, what do you want to eat?" Chenxing asked.

"I'd like to try their seafood platter; I've heard it's delicious!" Xiaoxue replied.

"Then I'll order a salad to go with your seafood platter!" Xia Mu said, feeling incredibly pleased.

As the food was served one after another, the team members enjoyed the delicious dishes while sharing anecdotes from their training.

"Did you know that Xia Mu created a new ninjutsu during training?" Chen Xing proudly introduced.

"Really? Show us!" Tie Dou said.

“Okay, I’ll give it a try.” Xia Mu stood up, focused his attention, and channeled his chakra.

Soon after, he unleashed another waterspout, and the entire restaurant was immediately filled with gasps of surprise.

"That's amazing! You'll definitely become a strong person!" Xiaoxue exclaimed with admiration.

"With your support, I will work even harder!" Xia Mu replied with a smile.

As night deepened, the group chatted happily, filling the restaurant with a joyful atmosphere.

"This gathering made me feel the power of friendship," Xia Mu remarked.

“We will always be together, no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future!” Morning Star said.

“That’s right, we’re a team!” Tie Dou chimed in, and everyone echoed his sentiment.

In this heartwarming moment, Natsuki felt the deep bond between his friends.

No matter how difficult the battle, the bond in their hearts will be their greatest support.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves onto the training field, and the air was filled with the fragrance of fresh grass.

Xia Mu slowly opened her eyes in the morning light; today was another day full of hope.

He stretched and silently reviewed his recent training plan.

"I want to practice some new ninjutsu," Natsuki muttered to himself, his gaze resolute.

206: Let's have a friendly spar and find the strongest ninja to fight against!

At breakfast, Xia Mu sat around a table with his friends in the village canteen.

Morning Star sat opposite him, looking cheerful, and they were discussing the village's upcoming Ninja Games with great enthusiasm.

"I heard there will be many exciting events at this sports meet. Xia Mu, are you planning to participate?" Chen Xing asked curiously.

“Of course! I want to test whether my ninjutsu can score points in the match.” Natsuki replied with a smile, his heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming match.

Tie Dou chimed in from the side, "I don't want to lose to you guys, I'll train hard!"

"This competition isn't just about strength; strategy is also needed," Xiaoxue interjected, analyzing the situation earnestly.

“That’s right, we can help each other during training.” Xia Mu nodded in agreement.

After breakfast, the team began their new day of training.

Xia Mu chose the edge of the training ground, preparing to continue practicing his Water Release technique.

"Water Release is my forte; I want to use it even more freely," he silently vowed, and began to mobilize his chakra.

As chakra continued to gather, the surrounding moisture began to be attracted to it, forming a small water sphere.

"Water balloon, launch!" Xia Mu shouted, and the water balloon flew towards the target like an arrow.

At this moment, Chenxing and Xiaoxue also came over, ready to begin their training.

“Xia Mu, are you practicing Water Release? I can help you increase the resistance,” Morning Star suggested.

"Great idea!" Xia Mu nodded in approval.

Morning Star began to cast her illusions, attempting to disrupt Xia Mu's concentration.

“Let me see your concentration!” she said mischievously.

Faced with the sudden illusionary interference, Xia Mu quickly adjusted his mindset and tried his best to stay focused.

"I won't be bothered by you!" Xia Mu smiled slightly and continued to release chakra.

As time went on, the illusion of the Morning Star gradually intensified, and the formation of the water sphere became increasingly unstable.

"Look, the water balloon is about to deform!" Xiaoxue cheered for Xiamu from the side.

"Hang in there, Xia Mu!" Tie Dou joined in the cheering.

With encouragement from his friends, Xia Mu's will became even stronger.

"I can do it!" he shouted, a powerful belief welling up within him.

Finally, Xia Mu successfully launched the water balloon, which accurately hit the target.

· ·····Requesting flowers···· ····

"That's amazing, Xia Mu! You did it!" Chen Xing cheered.

"This training has been incredibly beneficial," Xia Mu said, slightly out of breath, his face full of smiles.

Just as they were enjoying the joy of victory, a new challenge quietly arrived.

A young ninja named Black Wind walked into the training ground; he was strong and imposing.

"I've heard there are some excellent ninjas here, and I'd like to find someone to spar with," Black Wind said confidently.

.... ...... 0

Xia Mu and his companions exchanged glances, all feeling a bit curious.

"A spar? Who do you want to spar with?" Tie Dou asked, his voice tinged with tension.

"I want to talk to that ninja who uses Water Release." Black Wind pointed directly at Natsuki, his gaze unwavering.

"Okay, I accept the challenge!" Xia Mu said without hesitation, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

The training ground fell silent instantly, and the teammates gathered together, eagerly anticipating the showdown.

Hei Feng and Xia Mu stood opposite each other, the atmosphere tense yet exciting.

"Are you ready?" Black Wind asked, his tone carrying a hint of challenge.

"We can start anytime!" Xia Mu replied with a smile, secretly making up her mind.

207: The Water Release Tournament, the focus of everyone's attention!!

With a command given, the two sides began a fierce confrontation.

Xia Mu immediately used Water Release: Water Release, attempting to attack with a water ball.

Black Wind nimbly dodged while simultaneously activating his Wind Release technique, attempting to disperse the water sphere.

"Wind Blade!" he shouted, and the wind blade rushed towards the water sphere.

Xia Mu quickly adjusted his direction, turning the water sphere into a water wall to block the impact of the wind blades.

"This guy's reaction time is really fast!" Black Wind thought to himself in surprise.

Seeing this, Xia Mu decided to intensify his attack.

"Waterspout, launch!" He mobilized all his chakra, forming a spinning water dragon that rushed towards the black wind.

"Well done!" Black Wind smiled slightly, using his Wind Escape technique to try and block the water tornado.

The interplay of water flow and wind created a fierce battle of elements.

"You're really something else! Keep going!" Black Wind shouted, his fighting spirit growing stronger.

In the fierce battle, Xia Mu experienced a completely new challenge and excitement.

"This makes me even more determined to break through my limits!" He was filled with fighting spirit and continued his attack.

After a period of intense confrontation, both sides were constantly adjusting their tactics, trying to find the other's weaknesses.

In the end, Xia Mu cleverly used the flexibility of water to successfully corner Hei Feng.

"The flexibility of water flow can create unexpected results," Xia Mu pondered.
