Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Soon, the two returned to their residence, which was just outside the cave where the Third Mizukage was in seclusion. They could clearly feel the difference between this place and other places!

"Teacher is really about to break through! There is a wonderful domain here! Even the rain is being attracted!" Mei Terumi was amazed.

The raindrops here enter the domain field and turn into water beads, hovering in the air! And at the edge of the domain field 100 meters away, the rain also slides down in an arc, forming a strange scene!

"Ming, this is a rare opportunity. With the help of the third generation's breakthrough, we can comprehend the water element between heaven and earth in the domain field!" Mizunoe Bingyu said at the right time.

Afterwards, the two of them sat cross-legged not far from the cave entrance and began to appreciate this rare opportunity!

In the cave, Dihuangwan saw that Terumi Mei had entered the state, nodded, and then mobilized the domain field of the Sea of ​​Return to Origin, allowing the power of Return to Origin to be drawn to the outside world through the domain field, establishing a connection and resonance with the rain in nature!

The water element in the rain produced a strong reaction due to the resonance with the power of returning to the origin!

Mei Terumi felt as if she was trapped in an illusion. She saw raindrops suspended in the air, spinning around the cave!

The swirling rain formed a strong contrast with the rain falling naturally from the outside, which had a huge impact on Mei Ming's mind!

The swirling rain hit Mei Terumi's body and disappeared in an instant! It turned into pure water element and entered her body!

Mei Terumi widened her eyes. It was the first time she felt the water element so directly!

She closed her eyes and felt the wonderful feeling of water element entering her body with all her heart and soul!

She felt as if she had become a part of the water element, like a drop of water, falling from the sky and merging with thousands of other drops of water to form a puddle!

The puddles of water seep into the soil, are absorbed by the roots and stems of the plants, and enter the bodies of the plants, making the plants full of vitality!

With the transpiration of plants, water vapor returns to the air, and under the influence of cold air, it condenses into water droplets again and drips into the small river!

The fish in the river swallow the river water, swimming happily and absorbing the oxygen in the water!

The small animals by the river also lowered their heads to drink the sweet river water, their ears trembling from time to time, and soon ran away into the distance!

Soon, small rivers flow into larger rivers, larger rivers flow into rivers, and rivers eventually flow into the sea!

The water vapor in the sea is constantly evaporating, rising into the air, and condensing into clouds in the air!

Driven by the wind, the clouds floated and floated, and I didn’t know how far they floated. When they encountered low-temperature air, they had another refreshing experience!

The water element constantly travels back and forth between heaven and earth, circulating over and over again, accompanying nature, nourishing living things, and catalyzing all things. Everything is inseparable from it, and after doing all this, it is still it!

Traveling between heaven and earth, it remains true to its nature!

"Is this the water element? Is this the essence of water?" Mei Terumi returned to her body, her eyes full of intoxication!

Half a day passed in a flash, the domain field disappeared, and the raindrops returned to normal, falling from the sky. It seemed as if all the miracles before had never happened!

But Mei Terumi did not feel any regret or emptiness. On the contrary, she murmured, "It's a new cycle again!"

The Third Mizukage walked out of the cave, and Terumi Mei and Mizunoe Hiyori stood up.

"Teacher, congratulations on your breakthrough!"

"Mr. Mizukage, congratulations!"

The Third Mizukage said: "From the looks of you, I think you all gained something!"

"Yes, teacher. The strange field created by your breakthrough this time has greatly enhanced my understanding of the water element!" said Mei Terumi.

"Well, that's good. You two should strike while the iron is hot and digest it well. I'll go to the sea to catch some mackerel, and we'll have mackerel stewed with pickles tonight!" The Third Mizukage waved his hand, and then his figure moved and disappeared on the spot.

As night fell, the three of them gathered around the stove, enjoying the delicious mackerel. They were very happy!

"Ming girl, this training has lasted for more than a year. It's time to return!"

"Yes, teacher, this is really an unforgettable practice experience!"

"The ninja world is huge. Your future growth depends on you taking it step by step. Ming girl, the bigger your heart is, the bigger your achievements will be! Work hard!"

"is teacher!"

"Ming girl, I have a mission for you!"

"Teacher, please tell me. Ming will definitely complete it!"

"Draw a topographic map of the island. It must be detailed and accurate to the meter level! Then, write down the Trial Island plan I told you about earlier and report it to Yagura after returning to the village!"

"Yes, teacher, I understand!"

A week later, the three of them set out on the journey back to Kirigakure!

Another week later, the Trial Island construction plan was officially implemented. Kirigakure dispatched ninjas and civilians, carrying a large amount of building materials and other supplies, to the island for construction!

Two months later, the third Joint Chunin Exam was approaching, and Kirigakure still sent 18 people to take the exam. This seemed to have become an unwritten rule of Kirigakure. These people had already started an internal competition for places!

This joint Chunin Exam is the most grand and largest in history, because all five major ninja villages will send people to participate!

Furthermore, the second Five Kage Conference will be held during the Joint Chunin Exam!

It is also worth mentioning that, strictly speaking, this time it is not Five Kage, but Six Kage, because the Third Mizukage, as the previous Mizukage, will also participate!

After all, the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, is too young, and this time, it is a joint meeting of the Five Kage, and the Third Mizukage is going to support the meeting!

(In fact, Dihuangwan used this opportunity to let the Third Mizukage, a pseudonym, travel around the ninja world after the Five Kage Joint Conference and fade out of the ninja world's sight!)

And in Konoha, after the end of winter, preparations for the joint Chunin Exam and the Five Kage Joint Meeting began!

The pressure on each department is enormous!

After all, there are a lot of references, and the leaders are all famous strong men in the ninja world. With the existence of the Five Kage, Konoha has to set aside a large area in Konoha to arrange accommodation and defense forces!

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha's F4, the three ninjas, and Hatake Sakumo are having a meeting!

Such meetings have been going on for several days!

Jiraiya was ordered by Sarutobi Hiruzen to come back! And Orochimaru had to interrupt his experiment again because of the joint Chunin exam!

"How are the preparations of each department?" asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Teacher, everything is almost ready!" said Jiraiya.

"Don't just say it's almost there, you must, you must be thoroughly prepared! This joint Chunin exam and the Five Kage joint meeting are too important! There can't be any mistakes!" Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded.

Jiraiya understands the teacher's pressure. With all the villages gathered in Konoha, there will definitely be a lot of secret competition. For Konoha, it will be a very tricky problem!

"Also, ask Minato and Kushina to cancel their trip and return to the village temporarily. Jiraiya, you go and contact them!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said again.

During the joint Chunin Exam, Sarutobi Hiruzen wants all of Konoha's high-end combat forces to stay in the village to deal with emergencies!

"Also, Tsunade, during the joint Chunin Exam and the Five Kage Summit, you will temporarily leave the hospital and be assigned to the security department. Feiyun's medical skills and qualifications are sufficient, so let her temporarily take over from you and be responsible for all matters of Konoha Hospital!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said again.

After saying that, he sighed, unable to hide the fatigue on his face!

"This!" Tsunade wanted to refute, but when she saw how tired her teacher looked, she softened her heart and didn't say anything.

"Forget it, I'd better go and persuade Feiyun. The pressure on the teacher is really too great, and there's no other way to arrange it like this!" Tsunade thought.
