Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

When Sarutobi Hiruzen first saw the test evaluation of Dihuangmaru, he thought he was a very good civilian seedling and wanted to arrange him in the same team with the younger generations of the Sarutobi clan.

Regardless of whether he had selfish motives or not, judging from the fact that he accepted Orochimaru and Jiraiya as his disciples and pushed Minato to be the fourth Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed the Hokage who paid the most attention to civilian ninjas among all the generations, and his influence among civilian ninjas was also very high. The so-called title of the strongest Hokage was just a brainless praise from some civilian ninjas.

Feiyun's father is named Kurama Heiji, one of the few masters of illusion in Konoha. Since Kurama Heiji made the request, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to lose face for Kurama Heiji, so he just went along with it.

At Konoha's first training ground, Class 11 gathered for the first time. Although the team leader, Kurama Heiji, was very familiar with the three children under his command, he still had to introduce himself as per convention.

"My name is Kurama Heiji, I am a Konoha jonin, proficient in illusion and shurikenjutsu. In the coming days, I will lead the 11th team until you all become chunin and the 11th team is disbanded." Kurama Heiji said, "Now it's your turn to introduce yourselves."

'My name is Kurama Hiyun. I am good at illusion and shuriken. My favorite fruit is cherries. I dream of becoming a powerful ninja like my father.'

"My name is Inuzuka Yoru. I am good at physical skills and tracking. My favorite partner is Ranmaru. I hate cats the most. I don't have any big dreams. I just want to be with Ranmaru forever."

Sure enough, just like when he was in Ninja School, Inuzuka Ya has not changed at all.

"My name is Dihuangwan. I am good at Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu, trap setting, and water ninjutsu. I like to practice. My dream is to become a powerful ninja and protect my cherished companions."

"What! Dihuangwan, when did you become good at water escape? Why have I never seen you use it before?" Inuzuka Ye said with his eyes wide open.

Kurama Feiyun also looked at Dihuangwan curiously. She only knew that Dihuangwan practiced physical skills and shuriken techniques diligently, but she had never seen Dihuangwan perform water-style ninjutsu.

In the whole Konoha, there were many people who knew that Dihuangmaru practiced Taijutsu, after all, he often practiced perverted techniques with Might Dai on the streets of Konoha. But Might Dai was the only one who knew that Dihuangmaru could use Water Escape.

"During the school's combat class, there was no chance to use water escape. It was handled by physical skills alone. There was nothing I could do." Dihuangwan said helplessly.

"Baga, Dihuangwan, I didn't realize you were such a cocky person, I want to beat you up!" Dihuangwan's helplessness seemed like a mockery in Inuzuka Ye's eyes.

I want to use it too, but you guys are useless!

This time, Kurama Feiyun also stood with Inuzuka Ye, nodded in agreement, and looked at Dihuangwan with a bad face, as if to say, "Dihuangwan, you are so good, you even hid it from me, you are dead!"

"Hehe, hehe." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Dihuang Wan immediately smiled foolishly and tried to get away with it.

Seeing the three people, Kurama Heiji had an idea in mind and quickly came to the rescue, "Okay, if you want to know each other's strength, tomorrow is the chance. Gather at the fourth training ground at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning for a battle test. You will form a group of three and fight against me, the leader teacher. We will know who is the better one then. That's all for today, disband!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared with a whoosh.

Leaving the three little ones in place, after three seconds of silence, Inuzuka Ye and Kurama Feiyun pounced on Dihuang Wan. The three of them, no, three people and a dog, immediately became a mess. "Stinky Dihuang Wan, wait and see how we two deal with you!"

"Have mercy! Have mercy!" Dihuang Wan screamed from far away.

In the Sanse Meatball Shop, Dihuangwan and the other two were eating meatballs as if nothing had happened. Only Dihuangwan's messy hair showed that something had indeed happened.

"Feiyun, Mr. Heiji is your father, you know him very well, how should we deal with the battle tomorrow?" Inuzuka Ye asked.

"It's up to fate. Father's illusion is very powerful. Most enemies will be trapped by the illusion the moment they see father. Once trapped, even for a moment, they will be defeated in front of father. So it depends on how much father will let us go. Otherwise, we won't be able to escape even one move." Kurama Feiyun said.

"Through today's self-introductions, Mr. Heiji must have seen that we don't know each other's strengths well enough, so tomorrow he will let us all show our true strengths, which will not only test our strengths, but also give us an opportunity to get to know each other." Dihuangwan said.

"Tomorrow we need to cooperate with each other. Ye and I will be the main attackers, and Feiyun will assist. Feiyun is also an illusion ninja, and we will mainly rely on Feiyun to resist illusions. Ye and I are both short-range and medium-range combat types, so Feiyun will stay in the back." Dihuangwan analyzed again.

The three of them continued chatting for a while, and only after they had made some plans for tomorrow's battle did they disperse and go home.

The next morning, the three of them drove to the fourth training ground on time. Dihuangwan thought that the reason why they chose the fourth training ground was that it was specially arranged by Mr. Heiji to allow him to perform water escape. Although Dihuangwan was not affected by the environment, it was still a trump card that he would not expose if it could not be exposed.

"Yo! You're all on time, little ones. Are you all ready? If you are, we'll start!" Kurama Heiji walked over.

"We're ready!" the three said in unison.

"Okay! I declare that the first battle of Team 11 begins!" Kurama Heiji announced.

As soon as the words fell, Inuzuka Ya and Ranmaru transformed immediately, and with a loud shout of "Ya Tong Ya!", Ya and Ranmaru turned into meteors and rushed towards Kurama Heiji's position.

With a loud bang, a big hole appeared where Kurama Heiji was!

But Kurama Heiji was gone.

"This kid is really impatient. Fortunately, I am a jonin and I reacted quickly enough to use the substitution technique to save him." Kurama Heiji thought in the woods nearby.

This was actually the strategy of the three little ones, to strike at the first possible moment and not give Kurama Heiji the chance to use illusion directly and avoid being wiped out.

Seeing that his attack failed, Inuzuka Yoru once again used Yatongya to stir up the surrounding woods in an attempt to force Kurama Heiji out, but it didn't work.

"Damn it, where is it hiding?" Inuzuka Ye was a little annoyed.

"Ye, don't be impulsive, save your energy and chakra!" Dihuangwan immediately stopped him.

Having said that, he immediately formed a seal.

"Water escape, water wave!"

A huge amount of water was diverted from the river and rushed towards the woods, immediately knocking down a large area of ​​the forest. A figure also flashed out from the woods and the water.

The power of this water escape shocked everyone present. Inuzuka Yoru's mouth was wide open enough to fit ten eggs, Kurama Hiyun also covered his mouth with his eyes filled with disbelief, and Kurama Heiji, who was being washed by the water, was soaked like a drowned chicken, his face flushed red.

"I was careless! I didn't expect this kid's water escape technique to be so powerful and have such a large range. It's not something a Genin can do. It's really a surprise!" Kurama Heiji gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Seeing Kurama Heiji being washed away by the water, without looking at the excited expressions of the crowd, Dihuangwan did not stop his movements. With a flip of his hand, several kunai appeared, and they were aimed at Kurama Heiji at a tricky angle.
