Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

A month passed quickly and the registration day for the Chunin Exam arrived. Dihuangwan and the other two submitted their applications through their team leader Kurama Heiji and were approved. They were just waiting for the day when the Chunin Exam would begin!

The three of them also trained harder, especially Inuzuka Yoru and Kurama Hiyun. Dihuangwan specially fought against the two of them, and they all made great progress, especially Kurama Hiyun, whose illusion techniques were already at the level of Kurama Heiji.

Dihuangwan has almost perfected the development of water needle technique. Its power is not as great as that of water cannon, but is about the same level as ordinary shuriken and kunai, but it does not consume much chakra.

The most important thing is that it saves the cost of purchasing kunai and shuriken. You know, as ninja's common ninja tools, kunai and shuriken are the bulk of the expenses!

Therefore, the development of water needle technique enriched Dihuangwan's reserve of ninjutsu and saved resources. As for the consumption of chakra, Dihuangwan has not cared about the consumption of chakra for a long time!

Moreover, there is a characteristic of water needle technique. The water needles spit out from Dihuangwan's mouth are stronger in power and penetration than water needles condensed out of thin air. Dihuangwan inferred that this may be related to the direct effect of qi when he performed water-style ninjutsu.

In addition, the same goes for the water cannon. The power of the water cannon directly spit out of the mouth is 40% greater than that of the water cannon condensed out of thin air.

According to Dihuang Wan's judgment, if he learns the water escape technique of water breaking wave in the future, the cutting force will be even greater!

With 25 days left, Might Dai completed his last mission before the Chunin Exam and began his preparatory training for the exam.

Two members of the 36th Patrol Team, Anima and Okamura Taro, who had previously performed patrol missions with Dihuangwan and others, have also signed up for the Chunin Exam and have returned to the village for special training before the exam.

Dihuangwan suddenly became busy, because everyone knew Dihuangwan's strength and knew that he would pass the Chunin Exam without any suspense, so they all contacted Dihuangwan to conduct combat training and fill in the gaps.

Dihuangwan did not refuse being used as a sparring tool. For Dihuangwan now, being able to help a good partner is his greatest happiness!

It's just right that I don't have to be too bored alone.

Thus, Dihuang Wan lived a fulfilling life of fighting one man in the morning, practicing water escape in the afternoon, and practicing Tai Chi in the evening.

"What a pity, thanks to the battle, it hasn't helped me improve much. If Maruboshi Kosuke could let go of his worries, huh? That's not right! If he doesn't come to find me, I can go to him!" Dihuangwan suddenly reacted.

They acted as soon as they said it. Fifteen days before the Chunin Exam, Dihuangwan finally caught up with Maruboshi Kosuke who was returning to the village after completing his mission.

Seeing Dihuangwan coming to him, Maruhoshi Kosuke was a little surprised, but he readily agreed to Dihuangwan's request for combat guidance.

After having lunch together, the two sides came to the fourth training ground together.

"Senior Gu Jie, I know you are good at water jutsu, and you also know that I am also good at water jutsu, so I really want to get your guidance. I hope Senior Gu Jie will be generous with his teachings!" Di Huang Wan said modestly at the fourth training ground.

"No problem, I'm just a Genin. It's my honor to be able to help you!" said Maruboshi Kosuke.

"Senior Gujie is too modest. I can see that your strength is definitely more than just a Genin level!" Dihuangwan said.

Both sides were no longer polite, formed opposing signs, and quickly began to fight!

Dihuang Wan took the initiative and performed the water-style water needle technique. Dozens of water needles instantly condensed in front of him and attacked Maruhoshi Gujie.

Maruboshi Kosuke dodged continuously, took out his sword, split several water needles, and commented: "The water needles are quite powerful, and can hit the level of ordinary shuriken!"

Dihuang Wan didn't expect that the water needle technique would work on Maruboshi Gujie, so he used the more powerful water cannon, spitting out three dark blue water balls in succession!

As soon as Maruboshi Kosuke saw the color of the water cannons, he knew that these three water cannons were definitely very powerful, so he decisively used the water escape technique of water array wall. Under the influence of the river, the strength of the water array wall was quite good.

However, it was still turned into waves by the three water cannons!

This round of attack made Maruboshi Kosuke look sideways, as he obviously underestimated Dihuangwan's attainments in water escape.

"Dihuangwan, your water escape technique is quite powerful. It shows that you have a good talent and you must be very hardworking in your practice!" Maruboshi Gujie praised.

"However, it was you who attacked before, and now it's my turn!" After saying this, Maruboshi Kosuke performed the Four Seals Water Style Ninjutsu Water Dragon Bullet taught personally by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama!

This was the first time that Dihuangwan had seen this water-style ninjutsu that ran through the entire Naruto. A 1.5-meter-thick water dragon flew up from the river! It was lifelike, spinning in the air and flying towards Dihuangwan!

Dihuangwan did not dare to be careless. This was a famous water-style ninjutsu, much more powerful than the water cannon. Dihuangwan immediately used the water array wall in its strongest state!

A rotating water tornado appeared around Dihuang Wan, bringing with it considerable power. The water dragon hit the rotating water tornado, and Dihuang Wan immediately felt a strong sense of oppression. He continued to consume chakra to maintain the rotating water tornado. Finally, after nearly ten seconds, he completely destroyed the water dragon bomb!

This is the first time that Dihuang Wan has encountered such great pressure on the defensive end since he mastered the upgraded version of the water array wall!

When Maruboshi Kosuke saw Dihuangwan perform the rotating water tornado water array wall, he showed a shocked expression. This was the first time he saw such a degree of water array wall from someone other than the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.

In other words, Dihuangwan's attainments in water jutsu are even greater than his previous expectations, and are not inferior to the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!

As the inheritor of the pure will of fire and a registered disciple of the second generation, Maruboshi Gujie made a decision immediately. He wanted to see how much more surprise this kid Dihuangwan could bring him!

So before Dihuangwan could catch his breath, Maruboshi Kosuke raised his sword and attacked. Dihuangwan took out a kunai, and the two fought with physical skills for more than ten rounds. Maruboshi Kosuke's swordsmanship was indeed impressive. Dihuangwan had never encountered a swordsman ninja more powerful than Maruboshi Kosuke.

Dihuangwan didn't dare to be careless, because he knew that one of Maruboshi Kosuke's ultimate moves was the Konoha Ryugen Sword Technique - Liu!

Sure enough, Wan Xing Gu Jie pulled away a short distance and used Willow! In front of Di Huang Wan's eyes, willow leaves fluttered in the wind, and the next moment, he was directly cut in the chest by a knife!

With a splash, Dihuang Wan's figure turned into a water stain and disappeared! Obviously, the one who was stabbed was the water clone!

"When did you change to a water clone?!" Maruboshi Kosuke said in surprise, "I know, it was when the water dragon bullets were exhausted. At that time, there were waves of water splashing and I didn't see Dihuangwan. Was it then that the water clone was replaced?! This kid has a good combat awareness! He's a good seedling!"

"Is this the legendary Konoha Ryugen Sword Technique - Yanagi? It really lives up to its reputation, a very dangerous sword technique!" Dihuangwan exclaimed. "But senior, be careful, I'm going to fight back!"

After saying that, he clasped his hands together and five water palms appeared around Maruboshi Kosuke and attacked him!

"Is this the Water Palm Prison technique that can confine a person?! What a great idea!" Maruboshi Kosuke and Dihuangwan were carrying out a mission together. When writing the mission report, Maruboshi Kosuke knew about this technique of Dihuangwan.

Maruboshi Kosuke was not panicked at all, and used the Water Dragon Bullet Technique again. This time he did not use it to attack, but to control the water dragon to spin around, and all the water palms attacked the water dragon!

The water dragon was fine, because the current water palm prison technique was mainly used to trap people, and its power was not very great, far inferior to the water cannon.

Therefore, the water dragon blocked all the water palms and took the opportunity to attack Dihuangwan. He had never expected that Marunohise Kosuke would deal with Dihuangwan's water palm prison technique in this way. It was too late for him to join hands to cast the water array wall!

The water vortex had just appeared, but before it could show its power, it was broken by the water dragon bullet. Dihuang Wan's body was attacked, and he flew backwards and fell into the river!

At this point, the battle between water-style ninjas ended with Dihuangwan's defeat!
