Standing on the surface of the water, Qingyang's eyes were closed and he felt the active water attribute chakra in the air, and suddenly he opened his eyes.

"Chen-Chou-Mao, the art of water escape and water waves!!"

A huge stream of water spat out from Qingyang's mouth and crashed into the target in front of him. The five or six targets were twisted and staggered and fell to the ground. And the sunny sun standing on the surface of the water also turned into a pool of water and dispersed, and returned to the water.

Qingyang stood up from the miniature lake and silently analyzed the masterpiece in front of him.

"Sure enough, the water body is indeed more effective than the ordinary doppelganger technique, and it is guaranteed to exert twenty percent of my chakra when in the water. It's just that for now, it can only use the most powerful water chaos wave once. In this way, even my true body can only use this most powerful basic water escape five times? It seems that refining chakra can't stop for a moment. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Qingyang sat cross-legged directly on the water surface and began to refine the water attribute chakra.

It's been a week since Qingyang started to study Shui Dun, and after testing the Chakra attribute before, Lu Jiu gave him a scroll, and in that scroll, a total of three basic Shui Dun Ninjutsu were recorded. They are: the art of water waves, the art of water body, and the art of water stand-in. These three basic ninjutsu are not difficult to learn, and Qingyang quickly mastered the skills of using them and how to refine the water attribute chakra. And the best way for him to cultivate water escape is to stay in the water.

In the past few days, his cultivation has basically been carried out on the surface and in the water, and he has even taken more baths. The final result of this strange cultivation method was that it brought him great benefits. Not only did it speed up the speed at which he could refine the water attribute chakra, but it also made him feel the chakra outside of himself. This also caused him great doubts.

Often, chakras are considered to be a life force that is conceived in every living body. There are two common ways to obtain it: the first is to take in the body's energy from each of the body's 130 trillion cells. The second is the spiritual energy that has been tempered by going through a lot of cultivation and accumulating experience. But now he clearly felt a chakra from outside his body. The second is that he has always questioned why they embody various natural attributes since they are the life energy that is conceived in the body. This made him a little unsure if what he had learned in school was correct. But now he is just a soft-spoken person, so he does not dare to share his discoveries with others, and can only explore through his own experience.

In this way, about half a month or so passed, and under his uninterrupted diligent refining, his chakra volume increased significantly. During this period, he and Sogo Eko finally did a few normal C-level tasks, and gained a lot of experience in actual combat. The growth of the three of them was seen in Lu Jiu, and now Lu Jiu can say with certainty that the three of them are the strongest among all the young shinobi in Konoha. So Lu Jiu made a big decision to let the three of them take this year's middle ninja exam!

……

"Teacher, what are we going to do today? Is it a practice or a task? Just let the horse come, whatever it is, I will do it beautifully!"

"Sogo, calm down first, what I'm going to talk to you about today is much more important than the task. ”

Hearing Lu Jiu say this, several people subconsciously straightened their backs, because according to Lu Jiu's identity, he thought that something very important would definitely not be a trivial matter. Hearing a snort, Lu Jiu unfolded a form.

"That's it, the registration form for the Zhongnin exam, do you think it's important?"

There was a thunder on the ground, and the three of Qingyang were not calm in an instant because of Lu Jiu's words. As long as you are a ninja, no one will refuse to become a more advanced ninja. The middle ninja exam is obviously a good opportunity for the three of them to become middle ninja, but ......

"We've just been shinobi for just over two months, so it's okay?......"

Eko questioned with some uncertainty, after all, they had only just become ninjas, and it would be too early to sign up for the ninja exam now.

"Eko, what are you talking about, of course there's no problem, if we don't have the qualifications to sign up for the middle ninja exam, then who can still be qualified, you say yes, Mr. Lujiu. ”

Eko couldn't help but give Sogo a hand knife.

"Idiot, what stupid thing are you talking about! As a ninja, don't you know how to be modest and low-key!"

"Ahh I'm sure you'll succeed. ”

The three of them who had been affirmed by Lu Jiu suddenly felt a sense of pride in their hearts. took this registration form from Lu Jiu's hand, and expressed their decision to participate in this Zhongnin exam.

……

After the disbandment, Qingyang did not go home directly, but caught up with Lu Jiu. This made the other party a little strange and didn't know what Qingyang was going to do.

"Hmm, Qingyang, do you have something to do?"

"That's the kind of teacher, since I decided to take the middle ninja exam, so I decided to do a little more practice before the middle ninja exam, and I hope you can give me some guidance on water escape. Now I can't get more out of it by realizing it on my own. ”

"Oh? Have you gotten to that point? It's a pity that I'm not a ninja who is good at water escape ninjutsu myself...... In this case, you come with me first, and I will introduce you to a ninja who has a high level of attainment in water escape. ”

Qingyang was overjoyed and hurriedly followed Lu Jiu's footsteps, and the two changed direction and walked towards the outskirts of the village.

"Teacher, where is the ninja you said has a high level of attainment in water escape?"

After walking for a long time, the two of them have walked to Konoha Mountain, and they can see the whole picture of the village from a bird's look, and Qingyang asked a little curiously when he saw that he hadn't reached yet.

"Young people still have to be a little patient, you see, isn't that the end of it? ”

Lu Jiu smiled and pointed forward, Qingyang followed his finger and looked over, only to see an old man holding a large pot of picnic on the top of the mountain. The old man saw Lu Jiu and Qingyang's arrival and immediately beckoned to them.

"It's Lujiu here, come here, just try my good food. ”

"That's great, I've wanted to try Kosuke's cuisine for a long time. ”

Lu Jiu responded with a smile and motioned for Qingyang to follow, Qingyang was confused, but had to walk over hard. Hesitantly sat on the stone that the old man had moved, and watched the old man enthusiastically serve a bowl of food to each of them. Qingyang had no choice but to taste it.

"Huh?"

After tasting the first bite, Qingyang's face immediately showed an incredible expression. He really didn't expect that such a delicious dish could be made with such simple ingredients in such a humble environment. Looking at Qingyang's surprised expression, the old man named Kosuke smiled kindly.

"It's delicious, so if you think it's delicious, eat more. ”

Qingyang nodded and filled the bowl with some more, but he still remembered his purpose in his heart after all.

"Teacher, when can we meet the ninja you mentioned? ”

Lu Jiu was stunned for a moment and pointed to Kosuke in front of him.

"Isn't that it, I'm talking about His Excellency Kosuke. ”

"What?!"

Qingyang's body shook, almost spilling the food in the bowl, and almost stammered at Kosuke to question.

"Teacher, are you not mistaken? The ninja you mentioned who is extremely accomplished in water escape is this old man? I admit that the old man's food is very delicious, but you can't be so perfunctory to me!"

Lu Jiu pouted in disdain.

"Cut, is it really just a little ghost who judges people by his appearance? His Excellency Kosuke is an experienced ninja who has been doing shinobi for more than fifty years, and he is the strongest shinobi in Konoha Village. ”

Qingyang heard Lu Jiu say this, so he seriously observed this old man. A head of gray hair is simply tied into a bun at the back of the head. Dressed in an old brown suit, it was only under Qingyang's careful observation that it was a ninja suit. Only then did Qingyang really realize that this old man was also a ninja.

But then he realized that something was wrong, and his face became even more tangled.

"Fifty years of lower forbearance? Isn't this ten thousand years of lower forbearance? How can it help me?!"

As soon as the words came out, Qingyang regretted it, after all, the other party was a kind old man, and it was really disrespectful for him to say this. But Kosuke listened to Qingyang with a smile. He also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, you're right, is it the most appropriate name for ten thousand years of forbearance, and I really don't like the strongest forbearance. ”

Hearing this, Qingyang felt ashamed, no matter what the strength of Uncle Kosuke was, being able to say such a thing in this situation was enough to make people awe of his mind. Lu Jiu looked despised Qingyang.

"Now the little ghost, you really don't understand anything, you're still far away. To tell you the truth, His Excellency Kosuke's strength is at the level of upper ninja, and he is proficient in Konoha Stream Sword Technique and Water Escape Ninjutsu. At the beginning, I followed the second Hokage to do the mission together. Or do you think I've brought you all the way here to entertain you?"

Qingyang scratched his head in embarrassment, and couldn't stop apologizing to Lujiu and Kosuke. Kosuke didn't care about this, but looked at Shikaku, who wondered why Shikaku came with a child and told him this. Of course, these questions were quickly answered by Lu Jiu for him.

"Your Excellency Kosuke, the purpose of my visit this time is actually to hope that you can guide this child's cultivation in the aspect of water escape. Although this kid was a bit rude just now, he has a very high talent in water escape, and I hope you can give me advice. ”

Kosuke didn't express his opinion immediately, but looked at Haruyo for a while before he muttered.

"Okay, I agree to instruct him, but what he can learn depends on the child's talent. ”

Hearing Kosuke say this, Qingyang immediately stood up excitedly and bowed to him respectfully ninety degrees. A more advanced level of water retreat cultivation is about to begin.

"Three generations of adults, this time in the middle ninja exam, in the name of my Nara Shikaku, I recommend three subordinate shinobi: Yatsuki Qingyang, Hinata, Kurama E. ”

At the Konoha Shangnin Meeting, everyone was shocked to hear Lu Jiu say this, although they knew that Lu Jiu's three subordinates were the three best newcomers in this class, but it was still a little strange to let them take the middle ninja exam just after graduation. However, the three generations did not raise any questions, and only said two words.

"Approved!"
