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

"Woof...woof..."

Akamaru let out a howl, indicating that he could find them.

As a result, after searching for most of the day, the sun had already set.

　"350" actually led Akamaru to the place where Natsuki and the other person had been hiding.

But the place was already deserted.

Kurenai searched the vicinity but couldn't find anyone.

"Damn it, where did Xia Mu hide?"

"However, putting everything else aside, their concealment skills are indeed quite good."

Even now, Kurenai still believes that Natsuki and the others are just hiding, planning to launch an attack and steal the bell when she lets her guard down.

They never imagined that the two guys would take the opportunity to run back to the village and have a feast.

One reason is that their strength doesn't allow them to leave quietly.

Another point is that there is no precedent. Which student didn't seriously go through a practical assessment with the teacher after graduation?

"Cuckoo..."

Suddenly, Kiba Inuzuka's stomach rumbled.

Just as he was feeling embarrassed and about to explain...

"Wang Wang!"

Akamaru suddenly barked excitedly, then quickly darted into the forest.

The two followed closely behind and soon found a piece of roasted meat on a tree.

"My God, barbecue is growing on this tree."

Inuzuka's mouth was watering, and he was so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back. He spoke as if he hadn't thought things through.

It was swallowed whole by Akamaru the moment it was taken off.

"Don't……"

Before Kurenai could stop them, the barbecue had already been completely devoured.

"Damn Akamaru, he didn't even leave me a bite."

Kiba Inuzuka glared at Akamaru with displeasure, then said to Kurenai Yuhi:

"Teacher, it's alright. There are no enemies here. It must have been left by Xia Mu and the others."

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Akamaru did not experience any adverse reactions after eating the grilled meat.

And then it sniffed the air and ran off to the next location.

A short while later, they found another fresh grilled meat.

Seeing this strange scene, even a fool would know that it was deliberately arranged by someone.

But as a Jonin, Kurenai Yuhi wouldn't let her guard down: "Natsuki, is that you?"

A linguistic probe!

"That's right! It's us!"

Xia Mu jumped down from a bush.

This is way too easy to explode! How can it survive in the cruel ninja world?

Kurenai's face darkened as she considered whether she should send them back to the Ninja Academy.

Xia Mu took out another plate of barbecue: "Are you guys hungry? Why don't we eat first and then take the test?"

"You idiot, do you think the enemy will wait for you to finish eating before attacking on the battlefield? The world of ninjas is not a game."

Kurenai Yuhi finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly.

Simultaneously perform the mudra with both hands; today I'll give you a proper lesson:

"Fantasy: Tree Binding Kill!"

The countless tree branches, swirling like pythons, instantly bound Xia Mu tightly.

Before the evening sun could make any further moves.

Xia Mu, who had been hit by the Tree Binding Kill, turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

Only one serving of grilled meat was left on the spot.

"Is it a shadow clone?"

This sight brightened Kurenai's eyes, and she was delighted rather than surprised.

"Aren't you going to eat it? It smells delicious."

Xia Mu emerged from the shade of the tree behind him, taking a big bite of the lamb skewer in his hand as he spoke.

Kiba Inuzuka, who had been following behind, had disappeared without a trace.

It seems they've been rescued.

So careless.

"Not bad, there is progress."

Kurenai smiled and nodded, but her eyes sharpened again the next moment: "It's just that you look so annoying."

He raised his hand and fired several kunai.

Boom! ! !

Another plume of smoke rose into the air.

Three skewers of lamb, wrapped in a cardboard box, were left behind.

Seeing this scene, Kurenai Yuhi, who had been eating for most of the day and was still hungry, felt a slight warmth in her heart.

But thinking of my mischievous younger brother, if I don't outdo him today, this team will be hard to manage in the future.

So, deliberately avoiding looking at the fragrant roasted meat, he said, "You've got guts. You even managed to take the roasted meat with you when you used shadow clones?"

"But this little bit of stuff isn't enough to tempt your sister."

This time, Xia Mu emerged from the bushes, holding a skewer of grilled fish. "Uh, if you don't eat it now, I'll eat it all."

Kurenai Yuhi's face darkened: "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"

When did you learn this move? There aren't many people in Konoha who know it.

He praised her in his heart, but said something else entirely: "Then let me see how many clones you have."

After saying that, Kurenai Yuhi pounced on her again.

……

On the other side, a little further away, the three members of the team gathered.

Kiba Inuzuka and his puppy Akamaru were wolfing down their food.

"Xia Mu, how did you guys do that? That's amazing..."

"You're too incompetent. As a Beast Tamer, a chosen child, you were captured so easily."

"Your Red Maru Beast clearly has great potential, but you can't develop it."

Xia Mu shook his head and harshly criticized his new teammate.

"Woof!!!"

Akamaru, having received so much delicious food and feeling as if Natsuki was praising him, couldn't help but shout happily.

"Uh, really? My Akamaru is indeed very strong. How do I unleash his potential?"

Kiba Inuzuka was even happier to hear that Akamaru had been affirmed than when he himself had been affirmed, and quickly asked.

After all, Xia Mu's strength is undeniable, even though his way of speaking is strange.

But he could understand what it meant.

"I don't teach easily. Unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless you have the determination to protect dimensional peace and become a member of our club. After all, the responsibility of the Dimensional End Gathering Club is great, and we need more people to safeguard dimensional peace. The ninja world we live in is just one of them."

Xia Mu said earnestly.

"Dimensional End Gathering Society?"

Kiba Inuzuka thought about today, and Natsuki's self-introduction.

There is an ominous feeling.

"Um... do I need to join a club to unlock Akamaru's potential? Is it possible not to join?"

"What do you say?"

stare!
