December 31.

The last day of the forty-second year of the Konoha calendar.

Early in the morning, the entire Konoha is filled with a strong New Year's atmosphere.

Recently, the conflict between Konoha and Yunyin has finally stopped, and this year is finally able to have a peaceful year, so the villagers are also extremely happy.

Many stores have started New Year's promotions, and all kinds of lucky bags are stacked high at the door.

There are also many stalls selling all kinds of things on the streets.

And the revenge consumption of the front-line ninjas who have recently returned to the village one after another, and the purse is bulging, has also pushed this atmosphere to a climax.

Even Natsuhiko's Fierce Ninja Tavern has benefited from this, and its turnover is breaking records every day.

"Xia Yan Xia Yan, you see that there are free New Year's gifts over there, why don't we go get one?"

"Xia Yan Xia Yan, this takoyaki is delicious, do you want to taste it?"

"Wow, there are still watermelons for sale in December, Xia Yan, I'll go over and take a look first!"

Looking at Jiu Sinai, who was running forward with a cloud of smoke, Xia Yan raised his forehead slightly, a little helpless, and then slowly followed.

As soon as he approached, he heard Kushina talking to the owner of the watermelon stall:

"Boss, are you ripe for this melon?"

The boss with a meaty face glared and said, "I open a fruit stall, can I sell you raw melons and eggs?" ”

Xia Yan had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Jiu Sinai away, and said helplessly:

"Kushina, how long are you going to hang out?"

"Don't forget who woke me up early in the morning with dozens of messages from a communication bracelet, saying that he wanted to fight with me."

After the kidnapping incident, Kushina became more and more concerned about cultivation.

In addition to learning projection with her students, she has often taken the initiative to invite Xia Yan to learn and hone her skills.

Xia Yan is actually quite relieved by this, but he is a little worried that this guy is the same as before, and it is three minutes of heat.

And now it seems that his idea may have unfortunately hit.

Kusinai was slightly stunned after listening to Xia Yan's reminder, and then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

She stuck out her tongue and said with some regret, "Okay, let's take a look when the sparring is over." ”

So the two of them continued to walk towards the grove where they usually frequented.

It's a pity that it hasn't been a few minutes yet......

"Xia Yan Xia Yan, there seems to be someone performing over there, I'll go over and take a look, just take a look!"

Looking at Kushina, who ran away like a wild dog on the loose, Xia Yan shook his head speechlessly, sighed, and followed.

At this time, Xia Yan hadn't noticed that a pedestrian wearing a black gauze hat who had just passed by him suddenly turned his head to look at the two of them because of Kushina's words, and his faint lips hooked up a playful arc......

……

In the grove near the ninja school, the figures of Natsuhiko and Kushina are jumping back and forth between the trees.

"Little junior brother, eat my punch!"

A coquettish shout sounded, and then Kushina suddenly kicked on the branch and flew towards Xia Yan.

Immediately, the delicate-looking fist blasted towards Xia Yan with a strong sound of breaking through the air.

And Xia Yan is accustomed to it.

"It's too flawed."

As he spoke, Xia Yan swung Kushina's fist in a circle with his left hand, and his right hand took the opportunity to slap Kushina's stomach and hit her towards the ground.

It's not just the three little ones who are working hard, Xia Yan's body has also spent a lot of energy on physical skills.

In addition to strengthening the meridians through radio gymnastics every night, he will have physical skills with Maite Dai or Kusinai whenever he has time to hone his skills.

Therefore, after a semester of hard cultivation, his physical skill level has also improved greatly.

At least it's different from the need to be scared when you first started to learn from Kushina, for fear of overturning if you were not careful.

Now, even if he only uses physical skills, he can fight back and forth with Kushina, and even have the upper hand.

When Kushina, who was knocked away, was about to land, he finally adjusted his body and landed steadily in a squatting start, plowing two long furrows on the ground.

Following her, he leaned forward and ran behind a big tree at once, avoiding Xia Yan's field of vision.

Xia Yan smiled slightly when he saw this, knowing that Kushina probably wanted to take the opportunity to use the shadow clone technique to lure the enemy, and then the main body found an opportunity to sneak attack him.

After so many battles, how can this guy still only do this.

Combat intelligence is really not as good as Naruto's.

And poor Kushina didn't know that Natsuhiko could actually use the minimap technique to keep an eye on the surrounding situation.

So whether it's a shadow clone luring the enemy or an ontological attack, it can't work from the beginning.

After all, you can't sneak up on a player with full map open.

However, recently, Xia Yan has been discussing with Kushina, and he often temporarily closes the minimap program.

After all, there are many existences in the ninja world that can evade the detection of the perception array.

Xia Yan was worried that if he relied too much on the perception array, his intuition would deteriorate, and he would one day overturn because of it, so he would selectively turn off this function when he was talking to people to maintain his sense of danger.

Therefore, the current Xia Yan actually doesn't know what Kushina's guy is doing behind that tree.

So he landed on a thick branch and put on a defensive stance, guarding against Kushina, who could attack from all directions at any moment.

As a result, he waited, waited, waited, waited, and waited for more than twenty seconds, but he didn't notice any movement, and finally felt a little strange.

Is Kushina recharging a recharge?

Why is it so inked?

Xia Yan complained in his heart, and he didn't bother to guess, so he decided to take the initiative.

So he jumped to the ground and walked behind the tree where Kushina had disappeared.

At this moment, Kushina suddenly rushed out from behind the tree, and ran towards Xia Yan with his arms swinging!

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and greeted him directly.

Syllable! Bang Bang Bang!

The sound of fists and feet colliding echoed in the grove.

In less than a matter of seconds, the two battled more than a dozen rounds.

It's just that unlike before, Jiu Sinai seems to have suddenly opened up, and his fists and feet are much sharper than before, and he soon pressed Xia Yan to fight.

Xia Yan secretly screamed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't continue like this, and after forcing the enemy away with a whip leg, he suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, night fell.

A thick black mist instantly enveloped the two of them.

followed Natsuhiko's figure and appeared behind Kushina.

This scene is like a complete reproduction of the scene of their first meeting.

Right now, just like that moment!

Even Natsuhiko's iceberg-like cold voice sounded behind Kusina again......

"The mystery of Konoha Secret Body Transmission - Thousand Years of Killing!"

Rumble!

Surge of air!

A burst of chakra fluctuations erupted, dispersing the black mist that permeated the surroundings.

Kushina's feet suddenly erupted with a strong chakra, and he left the place in an instant, and then appeared not far away, looking at Natsuhiko with a complicated gaze.

And Xia Yan was still standing in place, looking at each other with a smile.

"It's the White Fang technique, how did you know that?"

Kushina asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "But more importantly, how did you find out that I wasn't Kushina?" ”

As he spoke, Peng's voice and Kushina disappeared, and standing in place was a feminine man with long hair fluttering, wearing a plain kimono, and a golden vertical child.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Then he tilted his head and added:

"Or is it that you young people usually play so big now?"
