Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

In the dark, damp and chilly cave, Dihuang Wan sat upright on the pool of water, constantly practicing the Tai Chi Water Mysterious Skill, and continuously absorbing the power of Guiyuan into his Dantian.

The sea of ​​energy in Dantian became fuller and fuller, reaching the limit of what it could bear!

But Dihuang Wan did not stop. He knew that if he wanted to break through, he had to let the power of Guiyuan overflow from the sea of ​​energy!

After an unknown amount of time, the energy sea began to waver from the center! The power of returning to the origin was aroused to produce ripples, and when the ripples swept to the edge of the energy sea, they finally overflowed successfully!

After overflowing, the power of Guiyuan, under the efforts of Dihuang Wan, formed a small energy ball again next to the sea of ​​energy!

Afterwards, the Guiyuan force absorbed by the Rehmannia Pills involuntarily gathered towards the newly formed energy ball!

As the power of returning to the origin continued to gather, the energy group continued to grow! Forming a second sea of ​​energy!

After about three days, the scale of the second sea of ​​energy reached the same level as the first sea of ​​energy!

The two seas of energy in the Dantian are like twin stars, attracting each other, rotating with each other, but incompatible with each other!

Dihuang Wan exhaled a breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and mobilized the power of Guiyuan, which was drawn out from the two seas!

As the power of returning to the origin exploded in the body, the water in the cave was instantly attracted! As Dihuang Wan's consciousness moved, the water in the pool changed into various forms!

Sometimes it turns into a water dragon, sometimes into a water tiger, sometimes into a shark, and sometimes into a water snake!

Then it turned into a stream of water, circling around Dihuang Wan's body happily, and then it turned into a water arrow that smashed the stalactites beside the pool into pieces!

Dihuang Wan's consciousness moved again! The water in the pool formed a water ball around Dihuang Wan, wrapping Dihuang Wan inside!

Dihuang Wan stretched out his hand, and a palm-shaped stream of water flew forward at a very fast speed! He grabbed a stalactite again, and the palm-shaped stream of water broke the stalactite directly!

Dihuang Wan's mind moved, he stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly, and the water palm also contracted fiercely, and the stalactites were instantly squeezed into gravel foam!

Dihuang Wan took a deep breath and muttered, "My water control ability has improved again! It's now on par with Gaara's sand control technique!"

Thinking of this, Dihuang Wan suddenly took out a detonating talisman and detonated it not far from him!

Boom!

With the sound of the explosion! Dihuang Wan was safe and sound, because as soon as he moved his mind, a water shield appeared in front of him when the explosion occurred, blocking all the impact of the explosion!

"It's different from Gaara! Gaara's absolute defense is a passive defense! Mine needs to be actively triggered!"

"But when attacking, Gaara also needs to take the initiative to trigger it, just like me!"

Dihuangwan sat upright on the pool again, and through his spiritual consciousness, he looked inward at the double seas in his dantian. After a moment, Dihuangwan opened his eyes!

"The improvement of my water control skills is related to the emergence of the second energy sea!"

"Every time I mobilize the power of returning to the origin, it is provided by the two seas! This not only increases the amount of the power of returning to the origin! It also increases the speed! The speed at which the spiritual consciousness mobilizes the power of returning to the origin to trigger the water element is greatly increased!"

"If that's the case, then when I break through next time and form the third energy sea, my ability to control water will probably surpass Gaara's ability to control sand!"

"My water control ability has improved, let's try my freezing ability!"

Dihuang Wan mobilized the power of returning to the origin, and several water guns were formed and floated in the air! Then Dihuang Wan's mind moved, and the water guns were frozen in an instant, forming ice guns!

Dihuangwan picked up an ice spear, then waved it to feel its strength. The hardness was about the same as that of ordinary iron ninja tools! Basically, it could be used directly as a ninja tool!

With a thought, several ice spears turned into ice chips in an instant, obviously in the cave!

Using the power of returning to the origin again, a Frost Wolf appeared in the pool! Driven by the power of Rehmannia Pill, the Frost Wolf can perform basic actions such as pouncing, biting, and jumping! However, the consumption of the power of returning to the origin is obviously higher than that of the water control technique!

Rehmannia Pills drove the Ice Wolf to bite a stalactite, and then with a thought, the Ice Wolf's icy energy burst out instantly, freezing the stalactite instantly!

Di Huang Wan's eyes lit up, "This move can be used in conjunction with the Ice Seal! However, the Mysterious Ice Seal won't work. The Mysterious Ice Seal must be performed directly through my hands!"

Dihuang Wan closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing again, then he was teleported out of the cave through Fei Lei Shen and came to the original East Line Command Center. However, the command center was empty at this time, and all the personnel, tents and other supplies had been evacuated!

"How long have I been in seclusion? The command center has withdrawn!" Dihuang Wan felt a sense of desolate embarrassment.

But soon, Dihuang Wan shook his head, "It's just right, there's no one here, let me try my new ability again!"

An hour later, Dihuang Wan stopped the experiment. "Through this breakthrough, I have completely escaped the restrictions of the water environment! I can still use the water control technique freely! Now my strength has been further improved!"

Dihuangwan expects that he will meet the Third Kazekage again, and he can definitely defeat him!

Returning to the cave again, Dihuangwan marked his Flying Thunder God Mark in a very hidden location!

"This place is great. It can be used as one of my retreat locations in the future!"

Then, his spiritual sense moved, sensing the direction of Konoha Village, and his figure disappeared into the cave!

Swish!

Dihuangwan appeared at a location in Konoha Village! Dihuangwan stretched his body, sniffed the air of Konoha Village, and walked towards the location of Ichiraku Ramen!

"It's noon now, let's go have a bowl of ramen!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Dihuangwan knocked on the door of the Hokage's office!

"Come in!" came Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice.

Dihuangwan pushed the door open and entered, "Hokage-sama! Dihuangwan is here to report!"

"Rehmannia Pills! You have finished your retreat. It took you half a month this time!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I'm sorry, because we have won the victory on the Eastern Front, and I feel that I have some insights. If I can comprehend them, my strength will have a breakthrough, so I closed myself off!"

"Dihuangwan, I don't mean to blame you! The contribution you made in this war is incomparable! The whole Konoha should be grateful to you!"

"Thank you for your praise, Hokage! How has the war situation been during the time I have been in seclusion?"

"With the withdrawal of Sand Village and Mist Village from World War II, our Konoha, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are now in a three-way competition! However, Konoha has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, and World War II can basically be said to have entered its final stage!"

"That's good. When the war is over, we will at least have a few years of peace! Peace doesn't come easy!"

"Yes, but, Dihuangwan, I'm quite curious about your strength now! Your battle record is too dazzling, and coupled with this retreat, my old bones haven't been stretched for a long time. Do you want to practice with me?" Sarutobi Hiruzen really wanted to feel Dihuangwan's current strength.

In their last fight, Dihuangwan certainly surprised him, but he was still not a threat to him. Now, only more than half a year has passed, and Dihuangwan's record is too dazzling and his reputation is too loud, so Sarutobi Hiruzen can't help but want to fight Dihuangwan again in person!

"Okay! Lord Hokage, Dihuangwan will stay with you to the end!" Dihuangwan responded.
