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

“A massage? That sounds good!” Ayagi replied immediately.

"I want to try it too!" Xia Mu chimed in, her heart filled with anticipation.

Xiaoxue led them to a private massage room, which smelled wonderful.

She prepared gentle massages for them to relieve muscle tension.

232: No matter what kind of opponent we encounter, we will never back down!!

After the massage began, Xia Mu felt that every part of her body was being carefully cared for.

"This feels so good!" Xia Mu exclaimed, his whole body relaxing.

Lingyue smiled beside her, clearly enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"Hot springs are truly magical places, allowing one to let go of all worries," Lingyue said softly.

Xia Mu nodded, his eyes sparkling with hope for the future.

“Let’s play ‘507’ again after the exam!” he suggested with a smile.

"It's a deal!" Lingyue replied happily, as excited as a child.

After a period of massage, Xia Mu felt full of energy and refreshed.

"Xiaoxue, thank you for making our time together so wonderful," Xia Mu said sincerely.

"I'm happiest when you're all happy," Xiaoxue replied with a smile.

After soaking in the hot spring, Natsuki and Ayatsuki walked out of the hot spring, feeling happy and refreshed.

"I'll definitely be more motivated for the training ahead," Xia Mu said with a smile.

Lingyue nodded in agreement, her heart filled with anticipation for the challenges ahead.

As they walked back to the village, the setting sun shone warmly and brightly upon them.

"Xia Mu, I think you'll do great in the exam!" Ayatsuki said confidently.

"I will do my best!" Xia Mu replied, his eyes shining with determination.

After this relaxation, Xia Mu realized that in addition to hard training, proper relaxation is equally important.

This hot spring trip not only restored his strength, but also made him cherish the time he spent with his friends even more.

"No matter what, we will face the future together!" Xia Mu silently recited to himself, a confident smile appearing on his face.

He believes that although the road ahead is full of challenges, walking hand in hand with his partners will surely lead to more possibilities.

Xia Mu stood in the center of the training field, the sunlight shining on him, the warmth making him feel comfortable.

Tomorrow is the ninja exam, and I feel both excited and nervous.

He recalled the days before, filled with moments of sweat and perseverance.

"I need to prepare well today," he muttered to himself, adjusting his mindset.

On the training ground, the other ninjas were also doing their final practice sessions, the atmosphere tense yet enthusiastic.

Natsuki's friend Ayatsuki was sparring with a new ninja not far away.

This new ninja is named Raikage, comes from another village, and is skilled in Wind Release ninjutsu.

He had short black hair, a determined look in his eyes, and was agile, like a gust of wind.

"Xia Mu, you have to keep it up!" Ling Yue looked at Xia Mu and smiled encouragingly.

"I will do my best. We'll see how I perform tomorrow!" Xia Mu replied, his face beaming with confidence.

Just then, Lei Guang walked over and reached out his hand to Xia Mu.

"Hello, I'm Lei Guang. I hope we can compete against each other in tomorrow's exam," he said in a friendly manner.

Xia Mu grasped Lei Guang's hand, feeling a surge of affection for this new friend.

"I also hope to spar with you. I've heard that your Wind Release technique is extremely powerful," Xia Mu said admiringly.

"Thank you, tomorrow will definitely be very interesting." Lei Guang 4.4 replied with a smile, his eyes sparkling with a sense of challenge.

After training, Natsuki and Ayatsuki went to a food stall in the village to enjoy a delicious dinner.

"There are many strong competitors in tomorrow's exam. Are you ready?" Lingyue asked, her tone full of concern.

"I will work hard, and I will not back down no matter what kind of opponent I encounter," Xia Mu replied.

233: The moment to prove yourself! Show your strongest side!!

"I believe in you!" Lingyue patted his shoulder, encouraging him.

When Xia Mu got home that night, he couldn't fall asleep, his mind filled with thoughts of tomorrow's challenges.

He silently recited every detail of the ninjutsu in his mind, trying to find his own rhythm.

"I must relax to perform at my best," Xia Mu told herself.

Finally, his exhausted body allowed him to fall into a deep sleep.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains.

Xia Mu woke up, took a deep breath, and felt the breath of a new day.

He quickly finished washing up, put on his neat ninja outfit, and went out of the house.

15 “Today is my moment to prove myself,” he thought to himself.

On the way to the exam venue, Xia Mu encountered many familiar faces, all of whom were full of anticipation.

The examination venue was bustling with activity, as the ninjas gathered together in a tense yet exciting atmosphere.

"Hello everyone, I am the organizer of this exam." A middle-aged man dressed in dark ninja attire walked onto the stage.

"I hope you can show your best in this exam."

As he spoke, the entire area fell silent, and all the ninjas' eyes focused on him.

"The first round of testing is a teamwork test. Please find your teammates," the middle-aged man announced.

Xia Mu's heart tightened, and he looked around for his teammates.

"Xia Mu, come here!" Ling Yue's voice came from the side.

He immediately walked towards Lingyue's direction, secretly relieved.

"I knew you'd be here!" Lingyue said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Not far away, Lei Guang also came over and joined their group.

“It seems we’ll become a team,” Lei Guang said with a smile.

“That’s right, we will definitely cooperate seamlessly,” Xia Mu replied, full of confidence.

As the test began, the teams were assigned to different areas to carry out tasks.

Xia Mu and his teammates are assigned to a forest and their mission is to find a hidden scroll.

“We need to split up and make sure we find the scroll quickly,” Aya suggested.

Xia Mu nodded in agreement, feeling the tacit understanding gradually forming within the team.

"Remember, be careful when you encounter enemies," Lei Guang reminded him, his eyes revealing caution.

Deep in the forest, Xia Mu observed his surroundings while searching for traces of the scroll.

Using his keen senses, he gradually approached a secluded spot.

Just then, enemy ninjas suddenly appeared ahead, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Prepare for battle!" Xia Mu quickly issued the order, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

He used ninjutsu to transform into a shadow and launch an attack on the enemy.

Lingyue and Lei Guangxun's 507-speed coordination demonstrated excellent teamwork.

During the battle, Xia Mu felt an unprecedented excitement, as if everything had been created for this moment.

Each time he unleashed a ninjutsu, it strengthened his resolve to achieve his goal.

"I must become the strongest ninja!" he shouted in his heart, looking forward to victory.

The morning sunlight filtered through the treetops and shone on the ground, illuminating the training field.

Xia Mu stood in the center of the field, feeling the gentle breeze on his face, his heart filled with anticipation.

Since the last exam, he has been training even harder, eager to improve his skills.

"I must be more focused during today's training!" he told himself, his expression resolute.

234: The battle that follows will determine our future!!

At this moment, Lingyue walked over, with a hint of excitement on her face.

"Natsuki, I heard that the village is going to hold a new ninja tournament. Are you going to participate?" Aya asked.
