Unconsciously, it has been more than ten days since Dongfang Yunyang returned to the village.

For more than ten days, he was not idle, and spent most of his energy on the practice of the two knife techniques of the Ghost Step Slash and the Dance of Yan Yue, although the time was not long, but there was still progress, just yesterday afternoon, he was already able to barely use the Ghost Step Three Slash, but now he is not skilled, but since he has been able to show it, as long as he practices diligently, he will be able to master it proficiently, as for the Dance of Yan Yue, it has also been improved, and at present, he can basically apply this sword technique to actual combat.

Dongfang Yunyang is relatively satisfied with the rapid improvement of the two knife skills, but there is one thing that makes him very depressed, that is, the friendship with the flowing fire seems to be stuck at 19, and he spends a lot of time practicing the knife technique every day for more than ten days after returning to the village, and the knife used during the period is the flowing fire, but the friendship with the flowing fire has still not increased to 20 points, so it cannot be unlocked.

"Is it because of the lack of actual combat like combat training, or is there any special conditions that need to be met in 19 to 20?"

Dongfang Yunyang secretly calculated that his friendship with Flowing Fire in the Roaring Sky Cliff was from 16 to 19 In addition to a lot of sword practice, there was also a battle training with the canine trio every morning, and in the battle training, he used the Flowing Fire many times, and when he returned to Muyan Village, he almost did not practice the battle training, so he guessed if it was because of the lack of combat that caused the friendship to stagnate.

On this day, Dongfang Yunyang left Xishan's house early in the morning and went to a remote place outside the village.

Psychics!

After identifying everyone nearby, he didn't hesitate and immediately used the psychic technique.

The next moment, a toad with fiery red skin and black markings appeared out of thin air.

The fiery red toad was carrying a long knife on his back, which was the familiar toad Yan of Dongfang Yunyang.

After returning to the village for more than ten days, he did not use spiritism, among which the most summoned was Toad Yan, who knew more about Toad Yan, the other party was proficient in fire escape, good at knife skills, and Toad Yan's strength was comparable to his strength.

Dongfang Yunyang summoned Toad Yan for two purposes, one was to hone his sword skills in actual combat, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the battle to verify whether he could improve his friendship with Flowing Fire.

Summoning Toad Yan, Dongfang Yunyang did not hesitate, and immediately explained his intention to Toad Yan, channeling time is limited, he doesn't want to waste time.

Soon, the battle of one man and one toad began.

"When, when, when......"

The battle between Dongfang Yunyang and Toad Yan did not use ninjutsu, it was completely a contest of sword skills.

In less than ten minutes, Toad Yan was teleported back because the psychic time was up.

Dongfang Yunyang rested for a while, and soon after, he used his psychic technique again to summon Toad Yan.

The battle of one man and one toad began again.

Time drains quickly, an hour, two hours, three hours......

At dusk, Dongfang Yunyang returned to the village with exhaustion, and after a day, he summoned Toad Flame more than 20 times, almost every twenty or thirty minutes, each time it was a fierce knife battle of nearly ten minutes, which was also considered high-intensity training, and the consumption was not small.

In the battle with Toad Yan, Dongfang Yunyang can also be regarded as a small gain, not only honing his sword skills, but also learning some practical skills from Toad Yan.

Dongfang Yunyang returned to Xishan's house, had dinner, and went back to the house to practice chakra.

The next day, he didn't go out early in the morning, and didn't leave Nishiyama's house until three poles in the morning, he didn't go outside the village, but walked in the direction of Yakumo's ramen shop, not because he wanted to eat ramen, but because of Raino's message, the group of three people needed to gather today, and the meeting place was Yakumo's ramen shop.

When Dongfang Yunyang arrived at Yakumo's ramen shop, the teachers Raino and Saori Yamada had already arrived.

He immediately stepped forward to greet the two of them and sat down.

Soon after, Kinoshita Rokuzo arrived, and the first thing he did when he entered the store was to order his favorite steak ramen, and he ordered ten bowls at once, and then sat down.

Seeing that all three members of the group had arrived, Lei Ye did not hesitate, and said unhurriedly: "I summoned the three of you here today to inform you of an important matter. ”

Dongfang Yunyang, Saori Yamada, and Rokuzo Kinoshita's expressions moved slightly, and they all looked at the teacher Lei Ye.

Lei Ye continued: "Next month, the Twelve Ninja Villages of the Land of Fire will hold a joint assessment once every five years, which has a total of three levels of assessment, namely the upper ninja assessment, the middle ninja assessment and the lower ninja assessment, our Muyan Village, as one of the twelve ninja villages, is also an important participant, so naturally we have to send people to participate in the joint assessment, a few days ago the village held a meeting to let the S-level graduate group tutors recommend, I have already recommended the three of you in the group, and the village deacon department has made a decision yesterday." ”

When Kinoshita Rokuzo heard this, he was a little excited and said: "Teacher, is it that I have passed with Brother Yunyang and Saori, and I can go to participate in the joint ninja assessment, it is said that as long as I pass the joint assessment, I can directly obtain the title of 'Elite Shinobi'." ”

Dongfang Yunyang didn't pay attention to the joint assessment, but it seems that there is such a thing.

Lei Ye shook his head and said: "There are only six groups of places in each village for the twelve ninja village ninja assessment, and there are more groups in the village to apply, there are a total of eighteen groups, if you want to participate in the joint ninja assessment, you must first pass the selection in the village, which is why I convened the three of you today, seven days later, the village will hold a selection competition, and the winning six teams will go to the national capital to participate in the joint ninja assessment on behalf of our Muyan Village." ”

Kinoshita Rokuzo said: "Eighteen groups, this wants to be one of the three, and the opponents are all S-level graduation groups, this competition seems to be a bit fierce." ”

Saori Yamada nodded in agreement.

Dongfang Yunyang asked, "Teacher, you said that the joint assessment was held in the national capital?"

The competition among the eighteen groups to choose six groups is indeed fierce, but Dongfang Yunyang's first focus is the national capital, because his wife Xishan Hongye is in the national capital, if you go to the national capital, I don't know if you will have the opportunity to meet her.

Lei Ye nodded and said: "Except for special circumstances, the joint assessment of the previous sessions will be held in the national capital, and it can also be regarded as a grand event in the country of fire, and the Son of Heaven, Lord Hokage, and the daimyo will all attend." ”

Dongfang Yunyang's expression moved slightly, since the Son of Heaven will be present, Xishan Hongye, the wife of the Son of Heaven's secret guard, should be on the scene at that time.

Lei Ye immediately explained the specific matters of the village selection competition to the three members of the group, and the selection competition in the village was fought in the ring as a group, and the top six winning teams will represent Muyan Village to participate in the joint ninja assessment of the twelve ninja villages of the Fire Country.
