The crisis is imminent, and the Steelclaw Ninja uses all his strength and energy to try to resist. However, the speed of Yanagi's sword shadow was faster than he had imagined, and he could only watch the other party approach, and with a smooth wave of his arm, he used kunai to cut through his neck.

Warm blood poured out of his neck like a spring, and the Steelclaw Ninja felt something pass through his body, and it left his body with the blood.

When he became a ninja, he was ready to die, so there was no fear at this moment, just regret in his heart.

I regret why I only came here, fell here, fell on this land. The glory of World War II and World War III still lingers on the ninja continent, and those legends and stories have influenced generations of people.

The original ninja gods and Madara Uchiha have become almost mythical, and their legends have been passed down by the elders as if they were worshipping the gods.

To become a ninja, some people have dreams, some people want to make a living, some people want power, and some people want to protect.

"I'm really unwilling..."

The steel-clawed ninja fell to the ground, his eyes still open, with a faint nostalgia in his eyes, and gradually, the emotion gradually disappeared as his pupils dilated.

Throughout the ages, how many people have given their lives in such regrets.

Three kunai shots at Kenkage, one of which targets Kenkage's head, and the other two act as supports, distributed around Kenkage's side to restrict his movement.

"Detonator!"

The sword shadow only glanced at it, and knew what private goods they were carrying, without dodging and moving, he put his hands together, and in the next second, "bang", in the enemy's angry gaze, his body turned into white mist and disappeared.

Sometimes the reality is so ruthless, obviously there is not much chakra left, why can the other party still have a few more powerful ninja still after the death.

The ninja who threw kunai at the head of the sword shadow was a companion of the recently deceased Steelclaw ninja, and he didn't want his companion's body to be destroyed; But the other people's attacks didn't take so much into account, and the position where the kunai landed was less than half a meter away from the corpse of the steel claw, and the front and back distribution just circled the sword shadow in it.

"Boom", "Boom".

A violent explosion threw the sand into the air, and the dense dust created the effect of a sandstorm, and as the shock wave spread, fragments of severed limbs fell around one by one.

No one mourned the corpse, and the shadow of the Yanagi Sword had already appeared beneath his fellow Steelclaw ninja.

Tu Dun, the art of decapitation in the heart.

After cutting the enemy's throat, the shadow of the sword disappeared in an instant, and many of the teams took advantage of the battle just now to cross the line of defense he had demarcated, and now they had to stop it. Those lone wolves who wander around the periphery will go up from time to time to bite those squads that are still eligible for promotion, but both sides are strong crossbows, and if you want to fight hard, you have to pay attention to your body.

They saw the battle of the sword shadow, so they clearly knew that this Konoha ninja who suddenly appeared was holding a sharp blade in his hand that could hold his head and heart.

Since the ending is doomed, why bother with a small life?

When the wandering lone wolves appeared on the battlefield as a third party with such a mentality, Sword Shadow's interception plan had gone bankrupt.

Next, Kenkage expands his attack to attack not only the trio, but also the lone ninja who is close to him. These lone wolves can survive to this moment, naturally they have their special features, let them stay here, it will not be harmful to themselves and the wood industry.

As Yanagi Sword Shadow continued to use ninjutsu, the little chakra that had recovered began to bottom out again.

…………

Two days later, Mike Kay left the Sand Ninja Village with three disciples who were in a depressed mood.

The number of groups that advanced to the first exam was very small, and only one group on Konoha's side made it to the second round, because the exam was so miserable that the Sand Hidden Village had to decide to postpone the second exam until a week later.

Compared to the Sand Hidden Village, which has advanced to three groups in total, Konoha's performance really doesn't match the strength it contains.

However, the middle ninja exam has always been like this, throwing one's own potential ninja into the urn prepared by the other party to experience, only those forces that want to be quick for a while will do this.

The three of Sword Shadow looked embarrassed, but the energy points on the blood essence stone fully explained his achievements.

Fifty-nine energy points, from thirty-four points at the beginning of the first exam, jumped here, and at least twenty-five lives fell in his hands, which shows the intensity of this battle.

"The Land of the Wind is the largest of the five major countries, but unfortunately there are not many places to live."

"Such a large area of land is enough for strategic depth......"

"Teacher Kai, we didn't even pass the first exam, will it affect your evaluation of the title and receive the bonus?"

Mike Kay in front of him looked back, "Huh? What did you say? ”

"It's nothing, this Shayin Village is really not authentic, we work so hard, it doesn't matter if we don't invite us to eat after the exam, we have to pay for the medicine ourselves."

Sensing the loss of Nagata and Aoika, the sword shadow on the road said something out of tune from time to time, trying to adjust their mood in this way.

Unfortunately, it was difficult to work for a while, so I had to think in my heart that "I really don't have the talent to comfort people", and comforted myself that they should be fine in a few days.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them walked to an oasis, and it was almost a day away from the next oasis, so everyone spent the night here, and set off again after dawn tomorrow, trying to get to the next oasis before dark.

The oasis is a popular place to live, and there is a large inn that provides accommodation and meals, as well as fodder for the livestock that roam the desert caravans.

With so many features, it occupies a very large area.

The main entrance leads to the dining area, which is a restaurant in the traditional sense, divided into many small pieces, the size of half a football field; Turn left through here to find the accommodation area, and on the right is the place to park goods and provide shelters for livestock.

After the four of them finished dinner, they washed up and prepared to go to the room to rest, Nagata and Aoi Xiang haven't slept well these days, even if they don't have the pressure of the exam, they are also low spirits because of loss, looking at their spirits, they have to slow down for a long time if they want to recover.

"Sword Shadow."

As soon as he opened the door, the sword shadow was stopped by Mike Kay behind him.

"Can you come out for a while?"

"Oh."

He followed Mike Kay to a corner of the courtyard, making sure no one would hear them talking.

Teacher Kai's appearance is rare in ordinary times, his expression is serious, and the sword shadow stares at him without showing weakness, waiting for him to speak.

"How many people have you killed?"

Sword Shadow blinked, as if pleased with the ease of the question: "Thirty or so." ”

Twenty-nine were recorded by the Bloodstone, but he was sure that a few were not included because they were too far away or because the shadow clones had disappeared just as they were about to absorb energy.

“…… Sure enough. After three or four seconds of silence, Mike Kay sighed, and then looked at Sword Shadow with a look that didn't know whether to appreciate or be distressed.

There are more than 30 people, and there are only a few candidates who take the exam, and they are distributed in such a vast country of wind, which shows how tragic the final battle was.

As a Konoha ninja, Kai is not qualified to observe the exam, but from the student's description, it can be seen how fierce the battle that finally determines the success or defeat is, and eight to ninety percent of the exam team fell here.

Although the three of them finally entered the Sand Hidden Village, they were brushed down because of their low ranking, and the smell of blood in the air that day could be smelled even by Mike Kay, who was staying in the village.

Mike Kay nodded at him and said as if appreciatively, "Good job." However, you have to learn to restrain your murderous aura so that it doesn't attract attention. ”

When he saw the sword shadow at the end of the exam, he found that there were some changes in this student, the difference, the murderous aura that permeated the body, seemed to be separated and abandoned, and surrounded non-stop. Looking at Kenkage, who was trying to adjust the atmosphere but still couldn't change Nagata and Aoika's depressed mood, Kai decided to remind him. The loss of Akido Nagata and Tsuki Aoika, of course, was due to the unsatisfactory exam, but more often it was caused by the murderous aura on the sword shadow.

Even "ordinary people" like Nagata and Aoika feel the difference between the sword shadows, and entering the densely populated Fire Country has not become as noticeable as a light bulb.

Jian Ying was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Mr. Kai said, and he asked, "Nagata and Aoi Xiang are like this, is it because of me?" ”

"Part of the reason. But you've changed a lot, it's just that you don't have enough control. Mike Kay suddenly thought of a question, "Have you used that trick?" ”

Sword Shadow shook his head and said in an affirmative tone, "No." Didn't you say that you shouldn't use any tricks before mastering Li Lianhua. ”

Mike Kai was even more satisfied, and went back after warning some things that must be paid attention to in cultivating the Eight Gate Dunjia.

In fact, during the exam, Jian Ying forgot that he would show Lianhua. Now that I think about it, if I open the first door and the second door to close, I will definitely be able to solve more enemies, but at that time, there were no enemies that endangered his life, and he didn't have the idea of "pulling you on his back even if he died".

Naturally, the forbidden moves, which Mike Kay had been constantly admonishing not to use, did not appear in his mind.

It took six days for the four of them to return to Konoha, looking at the gate after a long absence, Jian Ying wanted to rush to the top of the gate, and shouted at the Shiyan avatar that could be seen at the entrance, "I, Hu Hansan, am back again"!

"Go home first. I'll go to Hokage-sama's side to report the situation. ”

"Okay."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Goodbye, teacher."

Nagata returned to the Akido clan's station; Aoi Xiang went to her own house; Jian Ying first went to Mr. Luo Shenming to say hello, then went to Uncle Kuishan to say hello, and then went to Uncle Achina's side, the reason why he was arranged at the end was because Uncle Achina had more tasks, and it was not easy to see it at ordinary times.

Teacher Luo Yuanming has nothing new to teach him, but his experience in using spiritual power is a huge asset. Spiritual power is closely related to the human soul, and every trace of its growth represents great progress.

Therefore, when Jian Ying's spiritual power was low, Luo Shenming couldn't tell Jian Ying even if he had more experience, because even if he said it at that time, Jian Ying couldn't understand the reason. Just as a scumbag can't grasp the specifics of general relativity, they can only know what it is described in general terms, but they can't sort out the details.

In the next few days, the days went back to the way before, and after two or three days of rest, they started to take on tasks, most of which lasted for a week, and after completing them, they received commissions, and then they rested for a few more days, and then continued the process.

In the cycle repeatedly, another year passed.

Sword Shadow's age has increased by one year, and he is already thirteen years old. The Ninja Continent as a whole tends to be peaceful, and the villagers of Konoha are excited to cheer for the New Year.

Because the Yanagi family is the only one, Jian Ying has been running to dozens of elders' homes in a row after the Chinese New Year, many of them are comrades-in-arms of their parents and uncles, although they are not as often seen as Kuishan and Uncle Achina, but this uncle asked the two to take a lot of booklets recorded in actual battles for themselves.

With this alone, Sword Shadow can't afford to slack off.

Although I used to walk around, I didn't officially graduate from a ninja school.

Now he is a ninja, and in the age group of ninjas, he is considered an adult.

About half a month later, the three of them who had rested for a long time got the first task of the year from Mr. Kai, and when they saw the content of the task, Jian Ying lost his mind for a while.

"Sword Shadow, do you know anything?"

The mission location is the sea area around the country of the wind and the country of rivers (the country of rivers), where traces of the sand ninja have been seen. According to reliable sources, Shinobu has been active in the waters near the Land of Wind for the past few months, and it seems that he is looking for something.

What exactly it is, the mission is explained with unknown information, but it's not that nothing is written, treasures, treacherous ninja carrying core secrets, giant ocean psychic beasts......

The reasons that can be detected and analyzed are all above, and the one that makes Jian Ying care the most is the word "giant ocean psychic beast", and he thinks of the huge shark he saw at the lighthouse.

"Could it be it?"

After Yanagi Jianying told what he knew, the three people who heard this information were also surprised, they didn't expect that Hardness would have such an experience, and that monster would have such a "fate".

"Teacher, that kind of monster is not something we can deal with, the village has given us this task, is it suitable?" Aoi Xiang looks at the problem from a very sharp angle, since the last time Jian Ying and Nagata teamed up, they couldn't help it, so they could only rely on Kai Sensei, in that case, why give them the task.

As far as she knew, the reason why Shangnin led the team was to make the group members grow faster. Dealing with this kind of monster fighting is not a good choice for them.

"Aoi, that's wrong. Although it has only been less than a year, our strength is no longer the same. Kenkage looked at Nagata and smiled, "And, if it's really it." It shows that we have a relationship with it, so we should go and meet it. ”

"You ......"

Although Mike Kay thinks that Aoika's words are a bit reasonable, how can he not challenge as a ninja because of the difficulty. His relationship with Xiao Li has been determined, and he plans to spend two years, and when Xiao Li graduates, he will be his leading teacher.

It's rare to see a situation like Mike Kay, and many teachers will refuse to contact other newly graduated shinobi after they have a disciple. It is for this reason that Kakashi's standards are unusually strict, and if Mike Kay hadn't met Xiao Li, he would have been the teacher of the Sword Shadow team.

The three generations of Hokage did not intend to stop Mike Kay, because according to Kai's account, the three generations were convinced that Yagyu Kenkage already possessed the combat power of the middle ninja, and if the fighting ability on the battlefield was considered alone, it could surpass many middle ninjas. The Konoha Akido clan is supportive of the Hokage, so I also learned about the Akimichi clan's evaluation of Akimichi Nagata, and its strength is almost reaching the middle ninja, the only thing lacking is the thinking ability and battlefield experience of the middle ninja.

A freshly graduated squad has reached this level in just one year, and it shouldn't be bound by rules.

The next day, the four of them set off for Kawanokuni, where they prepared to go deep into the sea to investigate the total events that had occurred in this area.
