Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

The situation in the entire ninja world is turbulent, and all forces are stepping up their efforts in an attempt to seize the initiative in the future war!

All this seems to have nothing to do with Dihuang Wan who is in the Terumi clan. The Terumi clan is like a paradise, and nothing from the outside world has any impact on this place!

Based on this, Dihuang Wan compared the current patriarch and elders of the Mei clan and admired them even more! He had a third eye to open, but they didn't! This shows the importance of an excellent leader to the team!

The next day, Dihuang Wan, who hardly ever left the house except for the kitchen and the residence in the kitchen yard, had just finished making breakfast. After everything was done, he cleaned up the kitchen and went back to his room to rest.

Now Dihuangwan and Kangbo have a clear division of labor. Dihuangwan is responsible for the preparation of soups, porridge, and roasted dishes, while Kangbo is responsible for the preparation of other dishes, so that they can give full play to their respective strengths!

After a simple wash, Dihuang Wan practiced two rounds of Tai Chi to put his body in the best condition. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor, performed the Qi perception technique, and started a new day of intelligence gathering!

The size of Kirigakure is comparable to Konoha, but its prosperity is far behind! In addition to the lack of supplies, the ruling policy of the Third Mizukage is also one of the reasons!

There are also large and small training grounds around the Hidden Mist Village. Today, Dihuangwan’s target of exploration is the training ground. He wants to see the Hidden Mist Village, which has the largest number of water-style ninjas in the ninja world, and see how the ninjas there practice, so as to learn from them and improve himself!

This is also the most important reason why Dihuangwan agreed to go undercover in Wuyin!

At the second training ground of Kirigakure, a Genin from the Mizunotsuki clan was practicing water-style ninja. Even though he was just a Genin and many of his training were quite childish, Dihuangmaru did not sneer at him. Every village had its own chakra refining system, which were different. Kirigakure's system was the most suitable for water-style ninjas. Dihuangmaru watched this little guy from the Mizunotsuki clan with great interest for the whole morning.

It is worth mentioning that, like Konoha, the Ninja Clan of Kirigakure all have their own training grounds, but they are all used to practice physical skills, throwing techniques, swordsmanship and secret techniques. The Ninjas of Kirigakure are generally good at water escape techniques and have great destructive power on terrain, so they are not enough to survive in their own training grounds!

Therefore, the practice of water jutsu is all done in the public training grounds surrounding the village, and the same goes for the ninjas of the Terumi clan!

In the afternoon, Dihuangwan sensed the training ground again and saw several Mist Village Chunins who were quite skilled in combat. Various common water-style ninjutsu were used one after another. From the looks of it, the battle was quite intense!

However, this is not the fighting style that Dihuangwan likes. Dihuangwan likes to achieve the highest combat benefits with the least consumption, rather than such random ninjutsu fights and head-on confrontations.

Looking elsewhere, in a special training ground in Kirigakure, Dihuangmaru discovered that Biwa Juzo, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, was instructing the seven masked ninjas under his command in their training!

"It seems that this training ground is the exclusive training ground for the Kirigakure Anbu. I have to pay more attention to this place in the future!" Dihuangwan thought to himself.

Several Anbu ninjas swung their swords at Biwa Juzo, but Biwa Juzo easily warded off the attacks. "Hey, you guys, haven't you eaten yet? In front of my beheading avenue, a little bit of strength is not enough!"

Afterwards, there were another dozen rounds of swordplay competition. "Oh, that's right! Facing me, who bears the title of Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the best way to go is to go all out!" Biwa Juzo was quite excited when he saw his men getting serious and fighting him with all their might.

After another fifty rounds, Biwa Juzo's men were so tired that they fell to the ground. Biwa Juzo was also out of breath, but still full of energy! It was obvious that he enjoyed this sparring very much!

"You seven have made progress and can last a hundred rounds under my command! It's worth my training!" said Biwa Juzang.

"Hey! Lord Juzang's strength is something I admire. We are far worse than you!" These few words of flattery were quite useful to Biwa Juzang!

"Take a break and I'll come and see if you've fallen behind in your ninjutsu training!" Biwa Juzo ordered.

Several of his men responded and began to replenish and regulate their own chakra.

"The first owner of the beheading sword was Biwa Juzo. Although he was not portrayed much in the anime, he was a good partner with Uchiha Itachi in the Akatsuki organization. He died at the hands of the Fourth Mizukage's Tailed Beast Ball. The sword chopping the Tailed Beast Ball is also one of the famous scenes in the Naruto anime! But in reality, this Biwa Juzo is definitely at the level of an elite jonin, and his ability to use the beheading sword is definitely better than his successor Momochi Zabuza! Don't underestimate him!" Dihuangwan thought.

"Come to think of it, Kirigakure's obsession with swordsmanship is probably the highest in the ninja world, except for the samurai of the Iron Country! Many Chunin and Genin practice swordsmanship!" Dihuangwan was also a little puzzled.

Because there are many people in Kirigakure who practice swordsmanship, but apart from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, there are not many other famous swordsmanship ninjas, not even as many as those in Konoha and Kumogakure!

"Practicing swordsmanship, probably for the purpose of inheriting the seven ninja swords and becoming a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen! This is putting the cart before the horse!" Dihuangwan thought.

When I came to my senses, in the Kirigakure Anbu training ground, Biwa Juuzou and his men had already started practicing water-style ninjutsu!

As soon as they came up, their seven subordinates jointly performed the Water Style Waterfall Technique. Seven people spit out water at the same time, which merged together and attacked Biwa Juzo. This power reminded Dihuangmaru of the famous scene during the Fourth War when the Kirigakure used the Water Array Wall together to resist Madara's great fire extinguishing!

"Well! Very good. The coordinated ninjutsu of you guys seized the initiative and gave the enemy a headache!" Biwa Juzo, who had retreated dozens of meters and just dodged the wave of attacks, agreed!

"Indeed, the wave of combined attacks launched by Kirigakure just now had a huge effect on the battlefield. Ordinary Genin had no ability to resist it. Higher-level ninjas had to either take reciprocal attacks! Or they could only avoid their sharp edge!" Dihuangwan also thought.

If it were me, I would avoid their attack and then wait for an opportunity to defeat them one by one using the Water Palm!

"Let me test your defensive capabilities again!" said Biwa Juzang.

As soon as he finished speaking, he used water escape technique, Water Wave!

The intensity of the water wave cannot be compared with that of Dihuang Wan, but it is definitely at the level that a senior ninja should have!

Seeing the water rushing over, the seven ninjas used the Water Style Water Array Wall together! The Water Array Wall merged together to form a huge water wall! The water wave hit the water wall and was blocked. Then the water wave and the water array wall dissipated, and the battle area formed a vast ocean of water!

"The Kirigakure's combined water-style ninjutsu is indeed something. It uses human wave tactics to fight against higher-level ninjas. It does not seek to match them, but to delay them. Its tactical value is extremely high!" Dihuangwan frowned and thought!

At this stage, apart from the Ino-Shika-Cho iron triangle, other forms of cooperation in Konoha are still far from the level of the anime period!

It seems that I have to give the Sandaime a reminder!

No longer paying attention to the subsequent sparring, Dihuangwan withdrew his perception technique and went to the kitchen to busy himself. In the evening, after Dihuangwan confirmed that no one had detected anything, he wrote down the latest information!

"The Kirigakure has begun training combined attack and defense ninjutsu, and it has shown results! Seven Chunins can hold back an elite Jonin!"
