Wolf nodded and said, "Eagle, you haven't been in the Dark Division for long either, so it's perfect for you to spar with a newcomer."

"I won't hold back; I'll take responsibility for any injuries!"

A deep, guttural sound rang out, as if a preventative injection had been given in advance.

If he gets injured due to his lack of strength, don't blame him.

Upon hearing this, "Wolf" pondered for a few seconds before looking at Shiranui Xiao and asking, "Newcomer, what's your opinion?"

"You haven't officially joined the Dark Division yet, so it's not too late to back out."

The Dark Division has the highest mortality rate of all the units in the village; even new recruits may face bloodshed during their probationary period. Think carefully before you act.

"Wolf" noticed that Shiranui Sou wasn't very old, so he offered an extra reminder.

Shiranui Sho was fully aware of this.

Every year, some new people join the Anbu, but the number of Anbu ninjas never exceeds three digits, and is kept at around seventy or eighty people.

While some people quitting was part of the reason, the more important reason was that many people died during the mission.

Such special units are naturally not very kind when evaluating new recruits.

"I?"

Shiranui Sho grinned and said, "I have no objection."

After responding to "Wolf", Shiranui Sho's gaze was also undisguisedly sharp. He said to "Wagyu", who seemed to be hostile to him, "However, we should also be careful of this senior Wagyu. Don't let him retire prematurely after only joining the Anbu."

He reciprocates when others show him respect.

Even if others harbor ill intentions, he is not someone to be trifled with!

Upon hearing this, "Eagle's" aura instantly turned cold, and a hint of anger flashed across his face behind the bird-beak mask: "You brat! How dare you speak so arrogantly!"

The tense atmosphere caused "Wolf" and "Moon" to exchange a glance, but neither of them made a move to ease the tension.

The Dark Side is not a warm, united family.

Here, there are only orders and executions.

As long as they do not hinder the completion of the mission or violate discipline, whether the members of the Dark Division are harmonious or hostile is not something even the team leader has the right to interfere with.

The wolf's face, hidden behind the mask, was expressionless, and his calm gaze swept over the two of them.

"Then, this assessment will be conducted by Wagiru, and the assessment results will be recorded in the Dark Section's file."

There was no shout of "start," nor the ritualistic feeling of forming opposing hand seals during sparring at the ninja academy.

The moment the wolf finished speaking, the eagle, with a flash of cold light, pierced the darkness.

This is the shadowy area; they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!

"Good timing!"

Shiranui Sou laughed heartily, his eyes, visible through the two holes in his mask, blazing with fighting spirit.

During this time, he was waiting for his appointment in the Dark Division. Instead of going on missions, he buried himself in his training. In addition, he had been completely suppressed when he faced Teach last time, and he was already feeling very bored.

A thrilling and exhilarating battle suited him perfectly.

Xiao did not draw his sword, but instead pulled out the kunai he was more accustomed to.

The kunai handle is engraved with a mysterious mark composed of a circle and runes, but it is inconspicuous in the dimly lit training ground of the dark forces.

Neither the approaching "Eagle" nor the observing "Moon" noticed this detail, only the more experienced "Wolf" was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't seen that pattern in a long time, but he remembered it.

Rather, it's impossible to forget so easily!

Could it be that this newcomer...

Knock—

The sound of the kunai parrying the samurai sword echoed, and Shiranui Sou and "Wagyu" both felt a jolt in their tiger's mouths.

"Jonin-level strength!"

Both Shiranui Sou and "Wagyu" had this thought in their minds immediately.

The Anbu isn't all Jonin. After all, Jonin are the elite of a village. If all seventy or eighty Jonin were crammed into the Anbu, other departments that need manpower would be paralyzed long ago.

Even in the Anbu, there are only a small number of Jonin.

Most of the remaining ninjas were only at the Chunin level, but there were also some ninjas with special skills who were Special Jonin.

Seeing this, "Eagle" flipped its wrist and exerted force with its feet, instantly creating distance between itself and Shiranui Sou.

He knew that such a fierce attack could only be decapitated by weaker opponents who were weaker than him.

It won't work against an evenly matched enemy.

"A good whetstone."

After a brief exchange, Shiranui Sho had already roughly judged "Shark's" overall skill level based on its strength, timing, and reaction.

For him, who has made progress during this period, it was like a whetstone sent to him by the Sage of Six Paths!

call out--

He calmed himself down, locked his eyes on the location of the "eagle," and with a flick of his wrist, the kunai he was holding flew out of his hand, slicing through the air.

"Oh."

"Wagyu" sneered, turning his body to avoid the kunai's trajectory, his hands constantly forming hand seals.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

After forming the hand seal, "Eagle" pressed one hand on the cold ground of the training ground, and a violent bolt of lightning spread forward from the point where his palm touched the ground.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Shiranui Sou's response almost made "Wagyu" laugh out loud, a mocking smile curving up at the corner of his mouth beneath his bird-beak mask.

The faces of the "wolf" and "moon" watching the battle also showed puzzlement as they pondered the intention behind it.

Since they've reached the Jonin level, it's impossible for them to make low-level mistakes; otherwise, they would have died on the battlefield or during a mission long ago. Therefore, they won't judge them casually.

However, their decision to use shadow clones to counter the lightning release was truly perplexing to them.

In the blink of an eye, the electric current had spread to the feet of Shiranui Xiao.

stab-

The unpleasant sound of electric current reached Shiranui Sou's ears even before the violent thunder.

However, to the incredulous gaze of "Jiu," he stood rooted to the spot, neither flinching nor dodging.

Under the astonished gaze of the three people present, excluding Shiranui Sho herself, the fine current had already passed over Shiranui Sho's heels.

However, the strange thing is that there is a vacuum-like area under its feet. The lightning disappears the moment it touches it, leaving only the lightning on both sides to bypass Shiranui and spread into the distance.

"Ok?"

Wolf frowned slightly. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely sensed that the shadowy area under Shiranui Xiao's feet was even darker.

But upon closer inspection, the area appears to be simply a shadow cast by the light, no different from any other shadow.

A faint black light flashed in Shiranui Sou's eyes, which peeked out from the two holes in her mask, and the darkness beneath her feet gradually receded.

"Wolf" truly lives up to his reputation; he can even notice such minute details.

The power of the Dark Fruit is indeed more profound than that of ordinary shadows.

The lightning released by the Lightning Release technique is precisely within the energy range that a black hole can absorb.

This is the experience that Shiranui Sho has summarized after developing her Devil Fruit abilities over this period of time.

Beside Xiao, the shadow clone that had just been created had disappeared from the spot at some point.

The "wolf" watching the battle fell silent as it stared at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of it, staring at it intently.

Chapter 25 Hidden Acupoints!

Suddenly, Shiranui Sho's shadow clone appeared in front of the "Wolf" captain.

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

"you……"

Just as "Wolf" was about to say something, Shiranui Sho's shadow clone waved its hand first.

"Well, well, my skills are still lacking."

After an awkward cough, the shadow clone vanished from its spot once more, its body enveloped in a flash of black light.

The commotion also attracted the attention of "Eagle" in the arena, whose eyes subconsciously followed the direction from which the conversation was coming.

However, Yu Guangzhong suddenly saw a black light blooming on his left.

No, this is it!

A cold glint flashed, and "Eagle's" right-hand katana had no time to parry.

In his haste, he could only meet the cold glint with the arm guard he wore on his left arm.

Knock—

The unique sound of the blade slicing through the arm armor broke the silence, but the sudden strike was not so easily blocked.

The blade sliced ​​through the arm armor and continued upwards, drawing a line of blood on "Eagle's" exposed arm.

This scene caused "Moon," who was watching from afar, to subconsciously cover his left arm. Only when he saw "Wolf" casting a surprised look at him did he sheepishly lower his hand.

Damn it!

Beneath the "Eagle" mask, his eyes were ferocious. After forcing Shiranui Xiao back with a slash of his sword, he quickly created distance between them.

He covered the wound on his left arm with his right hand, blood seeping from between his fingers, and stared in shock at the kunai on the ground that he had long ignored.

Startled and enraged, "Wagyu" blurted out, "You actually learned the Flying Thunder God Technique!?"

"At once?"

Shiranui Sou narrowed her eyes slightly; this choice of words was rather intriguing.

It's not "You actually learned the Flying Thunder God Technique," but rather "You actually learned the Flying Thunder God Technique."

As a reading comprehension expert, he keenly noticed the differences.

They were not only surprised that he had learned this ninjutsu, but also puzzled as to why he was able to learn it so quickly.

However, not many people should know that he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After all, the ninjutsu in the Naruto Rewards Scroll of Seals doesn't need to be publicly displayed throughout the village.

The only people who knew were Jiraiya, Minato, Mikoto, Kushina, and the other high-ranking officials in the village...

How did this ninja codenamed "Wagyu" know this information when he clearly didn't know him before?

Coupled with the inexplicable hostility just now, the origin of this "eagle" becomes somewhat intriguing.

A meaningful smile curved the corners of Shiranui Sora's lips beneath her hawk-beak mask as she raised her voice and asked, "How did you know I was practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"...I just found out."

The eagle froze for a moment, then responded briefly after regaining its composure.

Afterwards, realizing he had spoken out of turn, he did not say anything more about it.

"You're already injured, won't you admit defeat?"

Shiranui Sho raised her chin, gesturing for "Wagyu" to pay attention to her bleeding arm.

The shadow clone that had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique had already disappeared into a wisp of smoke after successfully retreating.

This is a battle tactic that Shiranui Sou has been developing over this period of time.

Since the Flying Thunder God Technique's deviation is beyond his control and could potentially lead to him randomly colliding with the enemy's attack, he chooses not to risk his life but instead uses Shadow Clones as the caster.

Although this consumes more chakra, it minimizes the negative impact of the Flying Thunder God Technique deviating from its coordinates.

If this were a true fight to the death, he would also have his shadow clones carry explosive tags, which would detonate the moment the Flying Thunder God Technique succeeds!

This was the first time he had put this tactic into practice in actual combat.
