Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Soon, Maruboshi Kosuke, along with Dihuangwan and five others, conducted a carpet search of the 36th Patrol Team's defense area, but found no other traces of the enemy.

Various signs indicate that this encounter of Dihuang Wan was caused by some individual enemies that sneaked in.

To be on the safe side, Maruboshi Kosuke redistributed everyone's tasks. Maruboshi Kosuke personally led the forest area, Inuzuka Yo was responsible for cooperating with Maruboshi Kosuke, Dihuangmaru and Kurama Feiyun were responsible for support at the garrison, and Anima and Okamura Taro were responsible for defending the coastline.

At the same time, the enemy situation was reported to the eastern line outpost, which ordered the 36th patrol team to raise the alert level and issued an alert to the adjacent defense areas. After comprehensive follow-up findings, the order will be issued again.

Two days passed quickly, and the 36th patrol team did not find the enemy again, but the patrol team adjacent to the north of the defense zone did find the enemy. However, the enemy was unlucky and encountered the Konoha Jonin team and was wiped out. Moreover, according to intelligence, the Mist Ninja who fled to the defense zone of the 36th patrol team was a member of this infiltration team, and he left the team to look for a water source.

Because he did not return to the team, the Kirigakure stealth team judged that his whereabouts had been discovered, and he had been killed or captured, so their subsequent actions avoided the defense area of ​​Dihuangwan and others and chose to continue lurking to the north.

After the incident, the outpost issued an order to the 36th patrol team to lower the alert level, and Dihuangwan and others returned to normal patrol mode.

However, Maruboshi Kosuke did not issue an order to adjust the team's divisions, but everything remained the same until the end of this patrol period.

Dihuangwan and Kurama Feiyun were divided into two groups, Kurama Feiyun was responsible for the day and Dihuangwan was responsible for the night. With five days left before the end of this patrol mission, the entire east coast line of the Fire Country was hit by a wave of heavy rain.

Two days later, looking at the rain outside that seemed to have no intention of stopping, Dihuang Wan said, "This is the first time since I was born that I have seen such heavy rain. It seems endless and will never stop! The coastline is also rough and the water is turbid. This time I have learned a lot!"

"Yes, but rainfall is frequent in coastal areas. It was really rare that it rained half a month after our mission this time!" said Anma Feiyun.

"The river where we get water has now doubled in size, and it's harder to catch fish. The taste of the Bingliang Pills is just average, like chewing wax. I'm about to vomit!" Dihuang Wan complained.

"This is what the fishermen here say, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!" said Kurama Feiyun with a smile.

What? Is there a Gao Qiqiang in the Ninja World?

Late at night, Anma Feiyun was already resting in the tent, and Dihuangwan was on guard at the garrison point, looking at the dark night sky. The downpour was still going on, lightning flashed from time to time, thunder rumbled, and the sound of rough waves on the coastline was endless.

Somehow, Dihuang Wan took off his raincoat, lay on his back, and let the rain fall on his face. He was soaked all over, as if his entire body had melted into the rain.

Dihuang Wanmo started practicing Tai Chi, and chakra and qi continued to flow into Dantian. For some reason, the amount of qi flowing in today was exceptionally large, and soon reached the limit that Dantian could accommodate.

But the air was still flowing into the Dantian, and it continued to flow in. Soon, the outer halo of the air mass in the Dantian creaked and a crack appeared. Then, more and more cracks appeared, and finally, with a ping, the outer halo completely shattered.

At the moment the aperture shattered, time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then a large amount of vital energy from heaven and earth surged towards the dantian of Dihuang Wan!

At this time, Dihuang Wan had already sat cross-legged with his hands dragged in front of his dantian. The vitality of heaven and earth was already visible to the naked eye, and the movement was quite loud. However, accompanied by the might of thunder, rain, wind and waves, no one knew what was happening at the encampment except Anma Feiyun who was too close and was awakened.

Anma Feiyun was very shocked when she saw the strange phenomenon on Dihuangwan's body, but her woman's intuition told her not to disturb Dihuangwan. The strange phenomenon on Dihuangwan's body was of great help to Dihuangwan!

As a large amount of weather energy entered Dihuang Wan's dantian, the air mass in Dihuang Wan's dantian became larger and more condensed, but soon the aperture appeared again, and the amount of the air mass was blocked by the new aperture and no longer rose.

If the size of the air mass in the Dantian of Rehmannia Pills before tonight was a pigeon egg, then the size of the air mass in the Dantian of Rehmannia Pills now is also a ping-pong ball, with a significant increase in volume.

At the same time, the upper limit of chakra storage has been increased again. Previously it was 20 C-level ninjutsu, and now it is 50. The automatic recovery speed of chakra has also been significantly accelerated.

Dihuang Wan was looking at the changes in his body and was surprised and delighted. "Is this a breakthrough?! If my Tai Chi was considered level one before, is it level two now?!"

Dihuangwan stood up and started practicing Tai Chi again. He performed the same movements, but this time the flavor was obviously different from before. At the same time, Dihuangwan clearly felt that his ability to perceive and control his surroundings had been greatly enhanced, and he could feel everything around him in detail.

Closing his eyes and continuing to practice Tai Chi, Dihuangwan suddenly mobilized the Qi in his Dantian. This time, Dihuangwan felt that he had truly merged with the world, and his soul broke through the limitations of his body. His soul seemed to rise higher and higher, and he could see everything around him more and more clearly, the leaves swaying in the rain, the insects in the tree holes, the squirrels taking shelter in the bushes, staring blankly at his Feiyun. He looked further away, at Anima and Okamura Taro hiding among the rocks at the edge of the woods, Maruboshi Kosuke hiding by the river with a marching pot on his back, and Inuzuka Yoru and Ranmaru who were sleeping soundly with snot bubbles next to him. He saw them all clearly, those with chakras, those without chakras, big and small, alive and dead, he could see them all clearly.

He wanted to open his eyes, but as the thought moved his mind, the scene in his soul kept shrinking and quickly returned to his mind.

He opened his eyes and suddenly exhaled, "So, if I let my soul drive the Qi, I will be able to sense everything around me. The more Qi I consume, the farther I can sense. The important thing is, I sense everything, everything in the concrete world, not just the chakra!"

The rain was still falling, the thunder was roaring, the waves were still roaring, but Dihuang Wan was no longer the same Dihuang Wan. He was much stronger than before.

He clasped his hands together, and "Water Style, Water Array Wall!" This time the Water Array Wall was no longer in the shape of a water wall as before, but had turned into a water column that was rotating around him. The thickness of the water column reached nearly two meters, and the rotating water column exuded the power of a water tornado. The Water Array Wall evolved into a 360-degree defense ninjutsu with no blind spots.

The amount of chakra consumed is just at a normal level, but the Rehmannia Pill does not have any seals!

He was getting closer and closer to the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama's water jutsu!
