Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

As Dihuangwan released the Water Palm Prison Technique, the water prison that trapped Kurama Heiji broke apart. Kurama Heiji was soaked all over and half-knelt on the ground gasping for breath. The water prison not only sealed his chakra, but also made it impossible for him to breathe.

Kurama Feiyun hurried over to support his father. Kurama Heiji really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. It was so embarrassing!

Dihuangwan walked over and clasped his hands together again. The water stains on Kurama Heiji's body were immediately drained out and fell to the ground, and Kurama Heiji's body became dry again.

Except for Anma Feiyun who had seen the Dihuang Pill method before, the others were like they had seen a ghost.

Kurama Heiji: “……!!!”

Inuzuka Yoru: “……!!!”

Ranmaru: “……!!!”

After a long while, Kurama Heiji sighed, "Ah, Dihuangwan, your growth has really shocked me! You are the one with the best ninja talent among all the people I have ever met. In my opinion, you are not inferior to the previous Hokage!"

Even though he lost a lot of face today, Kurama Heiji still praised him and admired him in his heart.

"Teacher, you didn't use your full strength. I only won today because you underestimated my strength and lacked information. I caught you off guard. If we fight again, I will not be your opponent." Dihuangwan said.

"Before this, I thought I had overestimated you, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you. As for being caught off guard, it's exactly what I said just now, it's due to your outstanding ninja talent!" said Kurama Heiji.

"From the beginning of our battle, I fell into your trap. The first move of the Water Cannon forced me to move towards the river so that you could launch the Water Wave!"

"The water waves destroyed the surrounding terrain, causing the surroundings to be covered with puddles, making it easier for you to activate the Water Palm Prison. What I never expected was that you could use the Water Palm Prison technique to such an extent! You can perform it directly from puddles in all directions!"

"I had no choice but to use the detonating tag, but I didn't expect you had already calculated this! You used your water clone to fight me in close combat and tried to strangle me. By the time I realized it, it was too late. The water clone turned into a water palm at such a close distance, and I had no way to avoid it. I could only be trapped in the water prison and surrender!" Kurama Heiji sighed.

"Dihuangwan, although you have only graduated for a few months and do not have much combat experience, the ninja talent you demonstrated in this battle is something that many ninjas will never be able to achieve in their entire lives. That's why I said that your ninja talent is the best I have ever seen!" said Kurama Heiji.

After listening to Kurama Heiji's review of the battle just now, Kurama Feiyun and Inuzuka Yo were even more surprised. They didn't expect that Dihuangwan had planned it out from the very beginning. If it was an enemy, it would be too scary!

Lian Ranwan whimpered twice in fear and moved away from Dihuangwan.

"Hehe, hehe, I'm not as great as you say, teacher." Faced with the teacher's praise, Dihuang Wan could only respond with his signature silly smile.

Dihuang Wan didn't say that if the water clone didn't work, he had other backup plans.

The two of them made the seal of reconciliation, and everyone sat on the big rocks by the river to rest.

"This battle is because of the Chunin Exam in half a year, and I need to gauge your strength!" said Kurama Heiji.

"After a thorough investigation, it turns out that only Dihuangwan has the absolute strength to pass the Chunin Exam. Feiyun and Ye, you are still a little short."

"So, in the next six months, the missions that Class 11 will take on will mainly be carried out by the two of you, Feiyun and Ye. I hope you can grow quickly."

"Registration for the Chunin Exam will be one month before the exam. Both individuals and teams are welcome. If your two strengths don't satisfy me by then, I won't let you register. But Dihuangmaru alone will be able to take part in the Chunin Exam!" said Kurama Heiji.

After hearing what Kurama Heiji said, Inuzuka Yo and Kurama Feiyun couldn't help but clench their hands and looked at Dihuangmaru with unnatural expressions. They all knew that once Dihuangmaru passed the Chunin Exam, he would no longer return to Team 11. Chunin was qualified to perform more advanced tasks alone or form a team on his own, which meant the disbanding of Team 11!

Looking at the expressions of Kurama Hiyun and Inuzuka Yoru, Dihuangwan knew exactly what they were thinking, so he said, "Teacher, I will not sign up for the Chunin Exam alone! We, the 11th class, must pass the Chunin Exam together! If we fail this time, we will wait until next time!"

Kurama Heiji was a little surprised to hear Dihuangwan's words, but he was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Feiyun, Ye, you two heard it. With Dihuangwan's strength, he is willing to wait for you two, but do you really want him to wait?!"

"No, Dihuangwan, stop bragging! I will definitely take part in the Chunin Exam in half a year, and I will never hold you back!" Inuzuka Ye jumped up and said.

The words are very consistent with Inuzuka Yoru's character.

"Dihuangwan-kun, me too. In half a year, I will meet my father's requirements, and we will take the Chunin Exam together!" Kurama Feiyun also said.

Dihuangwan jumped off the boulder and walked towards the river bank, then turned around, raised his fist, and said to everyone: "Okay! In the next six months, we will work towards the goal of the Chunin Exam! Let's move forward!"

Kurama Hiyun and Inuzuka Yoru also raised their fists and responded, "For the Chunin Exam! Forward!"

Ranmaru: "Woof woof! Woof woof!"

After everyone made the agreement, they went to a barbecue restaurant to eat barbecue, and then dispersed and went back to their homes to prepare for new tasks the next day.

In order to be able to guide Kurama Hiyun and Inuzuka Yoru in actual combat, for the next four months, Team 11 no longer accepted patrol missions, but instead chose escort missions and bandit suppression missions.

The mission was mainly completed by Kurama Hiyun and Inuzuka Yoru, who were personally instructed by Kurama Heiji. Dihuangmaru basically did not take any action, but took advantage of this opportunity to further perfect his water-style ninjutsu.

He initially mastered the method of turning water into all things. Of course, this was accomplished with the assistance of the guidance of Qi. For Rehmannia Pills, the importance of Chakra is far less than that of Qi.

Under the influence of Qi, Dihuangwan initially achieved the transformation of water from barrier, water bullet, water palm, water clone and other states, and even developed water needle offensive ninjutsu, but the power did not reach the level of kunai shuriken and needed further improvement.

For Dihuangwan, as long as he can create a water environment, he dares to fight with the ninjas at the Jonin level!

After completing 15 C-level missions and 10 B-level missions in four months, Inuzuka Yoru and Kurama Feiyun have also made obvious progress.

There are still two months before the Chunin Exam. Inuzuka Yoru and Kurama Hiyun have both passed Kurama Heiji's recognition. Inuzuka Yoru said that the family will give him special training before the Chunin Exam, and Kurama Hiyun also needs to undergo targeted special training in illusion under the arrangement of the family. So for the next two months, Team 11 will no longer accept any missions and will enter a state of special training for all members. Dihuangmaru will train almost every day in the training ground and the back mountain.

The development of water-style ninjutsu is progressing smoothly!
