After finishing the bath, Aoyagi sat quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, his hands sealed, and the special chakra adjusted by the secret technique circulated throughout his body, and began to nourish the body cells according to the special frequency.

I felt that the injured area seemed to itch a little as the chakra flowed and nourished, and the pain that had persisted improved somewhat.

It seems that this secret technique can also speed up the recovery of injuries, after all, it provides efficient energy and enhances cell function, so it is not very strange to have this effect.

After finishing his practice and leaning back on the pillow, Aoyagi was in a trance reminiscing about what had happened recently.

Recently, it has been very calm, time is flowing slowly like a gentle stream, and he has basically spent more than ten days in a fulfilling practice.

And after Chisato and the others returned to the village, they invited the lower ninjas who had performed in the middle ninja exam to join, and after some efforts, except for Ning Ci who did not join, Shikamaru said that he would come over when he was free, everyone else agreed to join. However, according to Shikamaru's character, it is estimated that he will not be "free" to come. Of the twelve main characters in this way, nine actually joined the exchange meeting (Sasuke's defection was not included, of course).

As for the dark assessment, it was supposed that the notice would be issued soon, but for some reason, the notice was delayed until the fourth day, and as Aoyagi expected, he successfully passed the dark assessment.

After informing him, Xiong took Aoyagi to a forest.

Pushing aside an unusually dense bush, the bear fumbled around the ground and lifted a patch of dirt. No, it should be said that it is a stone slab that is firmly covered with a layer of dirt, and even has a lot of weeds growing on the surface.

Beneath the stone slabs is a downward tunnel. However, this is not the entrance that you entered when claiming the quest before. Is this another entrance? Or is it......

"This is another underground base in the Shadows."

Oh, I see, it's normal to have several underground bases.

Thinking about how many underground bases there were in the shadows, Aoyagi followed the bear, walking in the dim underground passages, and there were flickering flames illuminating the surroundings more than twenty meters apart.

Aoyagi silently memorized the road, and after walking for twenty minutes, the bear stopped in front of a wall, groped around a few times, and turned on the mechanism.

The door disguised as a wall slowly rose upward, and there was not much noise as it moved.

In front of me was a large room full of books and scrolls, and there were many masked people sitting at the tables reading, and the whole room was silent. Many people spotted the two people standing in front of the door, and after casting a scrutinizing gaze, they quickly returned to their own affairs.

Xiong lowered his voice: "This is the reading room, and some unimportant materials are placed here, including information such as the brief geography of various places, and some simple ninjutsu and other cultivation knowledge can be found here, which is a good place to study." ”

Aoyagi looked at the labels on the various shelves with great interest, as well as the names of the books and scrolls, which were indeed very complete, and there were many books that were more professional in terms of their names, which was completely different from the small reading room before the ninja school.

After a cursory walk, Xiong left the room with Aoyagi, and after leaving, he added: "Important ninjutsu are not placed here, they need to be exchanged for contributions, and some need to be approved by the Hokage." ”

Then Xiong took Aoyagi to familiarize himself with other places, such as rest rooms, training rooms, and other places.

Needless to say, the lounge also has some ordinary rooms such as beds, but the difference is that it is more difficult to pry open the door. The training room is basically a single room for each person, and the training room is equipped with basic ninja equipment, as well as targets, wooden figures and other objects, as well as some exercise equipment that is not common outside.

"There aren't enough training rooms here, but most people practice in the forest, and not many people use them. However, there are some practices that you don't want to be known about, and it's good to do it here. ”

"Indeed." Aoyagi nodded.

After walking around, Xiong took Aoyagi back to the ground and handed Aoyagi an iron sign with some meaningless patterns engraved on it: "There will be dark training later, take this to the No. 12 entrance of the No. 3 exercise field, the specific time is ......"

Aoyagi's head suddenly drooped and almost injured his cervical vertebrae. Relieved, Aoyagi patted his cheek.

That's right, tomorrow is about training in the shadows. Don't know what to expect?

………………

The forest in front of me was tall and tall, and even in the morning, the interior was dim because of the dense canopy of trees in the air.

It's strange, why is there no one outside Exit 12 of the third exercise ground, didn't he say that he was going to conduct dark training? Groping with his chin covered by the mask, Aoyagi had a vague guess.

After waiting for a moment, Aoyagi walked around, and after careful probing, an anomaly on the ground caught his attention.

There is a subtle difference in color from the nearby dirt, and it is likely that something is buried there.

He crouched down and rummaged through the dirt, and sure enough, pulled out a scroll.

"Is this a test of observation?" Aoyagi pulled open the scroll, and sure enough, it recorded the instructions for this training.

Putting the scroll away, he immediately jumped into the forest, moving quickly from branch to branch to the next location.

There are several locations recorded in the scroll, and he must go to these places within the specified time to get a few items, and then go to the training location, at which point the formal training will begin.

Running through the forest, bringing out the sound of the whizzing wind, Aoyagi let go of his senses and raised his vigilance, there should not be so much peace in the training ground.

He stopped suddenly, and the state that he was still moving at high speed just now changed to a static state in the blink of an eye. He stopped, but the movement of other things had already started before, and he couldn't stop, so he just pounced in front of Aoyagi.

At the same time as he stopped, Aoyagi's arm had reached behind his back, and just as the enlarged version of the caterpillar fell in front of him, the knife flashed, and the viscous green liquid splashed everywhere with the trajectory of the knife, and the insect body was split into two halves, and after falling to the ground, it still twitched for a while, as if it was unwilling to die like this.

Avoiding the slime backwards, Aoyagi swung his knife into the air a few times, shaking off the green liquid from the knife and moving on.

I felt a little unwell and my muscles were torn, but it was much better than expected. Changing the body from a high-speed state to a stationary state is a lot of work on the body, and it requires a lot of control. Recent physical exercises have really worked, otherwise even if you could do this, you would probably sprain.
