Watanabe Toru pressed his hands on the water, and countless whirlpools suddenly appeared on the wide river surface!
Maoyue Xiyan's figure is like a light deer, moving between the whirlpools in an instant, with almost no change in speed.
"Going further, be careful!"
Seeing the girl's ease, Watanabe Toru formed a seal on his hand again, and suddenly the dense whirlpool began to rise rapidly, and with a whirring sound, tentacles made of water flow came out!
"Water Escape·Water Binding Technique!"
Watanabe Toru controlled the tentacles to grab Xiyan, and the girl's movement was directly locked.
Clang!
The ninja sword behind his back was unsheathed, and Uozuki Xiyan did not dare to lift it up. Chakra attached to the blade, and he moved quickly while directly cutting off some unavoidable tentacles!
Wow!
The sword shines like a waterfall!
The water turned into a torrential rain in the cold light of the sword, but even so, except for the girl's heavy breathing, there were few water stains on her clothes.
"The last wave, pay attention!"
Watanabe Toru shouted loudly and formed another seal on his hand,
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"
Thick water flow swirled and rose. Watanabe Toru waved his hand, and the huge water dragon roared and dived towards Xiyan!
The water dragon, which is more than ten meters high, makes people look particularly small in its shadow.
Facing the impact of the water dragon, Xiyan did not dodge, but raised his head and clenched the ninja sword with both hands.
Three thousand black hairs danced in the wind. The girl took a deep breath, and the gleaming blue light gradually appeared from the blade, and soon covered the entire blade like flowing water!
"Konoha-style Swordsmanship: Kongmuza!"
Mao Yuexi looked resolute, shouted softly, and slashed vertically with her sword from a few meters away from the water dragon!
Poof!
The blue sword light shot out for more than ten meters, passing directly through the middle of the water dragon, splitting a deep mark on the water!
The girl's clothes rustled in the turbulent wind,
A bang,
The water dragon splits into two from top to bottom, and the powerless water falls directly onto the river surface, causing huge waves!
Watanabe Tetsu increased the chakra output on the soles of his feet, stepping on the water and trying to maintain balance.
When the water surface gradually returned to calm, Watanabe Toru walked to Xi Yan's side with a smile on his face.
"Even the ninjutsu was cut away directly, Xi Yan, you are so awesome!"
Since the last mission, Xi Yan has realized the shortcomings of her sword skills.
Swordsmanship that focuses on technique has almost no shortcomings in one-on-one combat.
However, once there is a situation where the enemy is outnumbered and one's own speed is unable to gain an absolute advantage, such swordsmanship will appear very weak in the face of the enemy's large-scale attack.
The girl’s last lesson is still fresh in her memory,
Her previous training with Moonlight Hayate had always been to use swordsmanship against swordsmanship. With such practice, she would naturally not be able to feel her own shortcomings.
But facing all kinds of enemies, she found that she had great limitations.
Not every ninja likes close combat. For example, some powerful jonins with extremely large chakra like to use large-scale ninjutsu to clean the ground.
Uzuki Xiyan understands that if she doesn't change, her strength may stop at Chuunin. Even if she survives for many years, she will only reach the level of Jonin at best.
A special jounin is Ibiki's level, and the reason why Ibiki applied to be transferred to the interrogation department is because of his lack of strength.
If there is insufficient strength, there will be a lack of choices. In order to be responsible for his teammates, even a senior captain like Ibiki can only leave sadly.
Leaving the team and being left behind by teammates is not the outcome a girl wants.
She may not have such an urgent pursuit of strength, but now, she really doesn't want to leave the team.
Kakashi broke the village's record for becoming a Jonin and was hailed as the most talented ninja in Konoha.
Uchiha Itachi, who became a chuunin like her at a young age, was born in a prestigious family like Uchiha, has a strong blood lineage, and far exceeds her own potential in terms of potential.
There is also the most familiar Watanabe, even though he often looks lazy, he can always create miracles at critical moments. No matter how powerful the opponent is, he seems to be able to escape unscathed. In those extremely dangerous moments,
The most reliable person is always Watanabe.
If you don’t want to be left behind, you have to keep getting stronger!
This is what Xiyan has realized. In the past month or so, in addition to recuperating from injuries, she has been learning stronger swordsmanship.
Kongmuza is one of the best killing moves in Konoha-style swordsmanship. It is said that as long as the swordsman is strong enough, he can cut through any ninjutsu!
"Fortunately, it just consumes too much chakra!"
The girl's slightly tired face was filled with a sweet smile,
Offensive-style swordsmanship requires too much chakra, and few people in Konoha can master it. She and Hayate were taught the technique style because they didn't have much talent in terms of physique and chakra.
However, Kong Wu Zhan is indeed strong enough. Many times, attacking like this can completely turn the tide of the battle. Even if she can only use it once or twice, it is enough!
"It's almost time, I'm going back!"
After exchanging experiences with each other, Toru Watanabe took the initiative and said,
Only he and Xiyan came to this training. Xiyan needed a sparring partner to learn new swordsmanship, so he naturally chose Toru Watanabe, the one he was most familiar with in the team.
"Watanabe, do you have any plans for lunch? If not, I'll treat you today!"
Xi Yan asked aloud,
She enjoys practicing with Toru Watanabe and takes up each other's time, so she has to show it no matter what.
And according to her understanding of Watanabe, he has no immunity to other people’s treats!
To the girl's surprise, Toru Watanabe hesitated and refused.
"I'm really sorry. I already made an appointment for noon today. I'll invite you next time!"
Have you made a date?
Maoyue Xiyan's heart tightened,
How could she not understand Toru Watanabe's social circle? Apart from his teammates, it seemed like there was no one he could befriend well enough to agree on!
"Who did Watanabe-kun have an date with?"
The girl asked with a forced smile, a hint of nervousness in her voice.
Watanabe Toru said nonchalantly while packing up the props:
"It's a kid, the Uzumaki Naruto we met before. Last time I told him to treat him to dinner as long as he can become my friend. This time I'm going to fulfill the promise!"
Uzumaki Naruto?
Isn’t that the little guy who is called the ‘son of the demon fox’ by the villagers!
"It's him!"
Xiyan quickly recalled that compared to the name Uzumaki Naruto, the most recognizable name was undoubtedly the son of the demon fox, the nine-tailed demon fox, etc.
But Watanabe knew it, but wouldn’t say that.
His gentleness always touches you in unexpected places!
"You two are very compatible?"
The girl asked curiously.
"Not bad."
Watanabe Tetsu smiled.
"If you have nothing special to do, just take me with you. I'll treat you!"
Maoyue Xiyan thought for a while and said,
Just after I finished speaking, I added another sentence,
"After all, I have a mission tomorrow. If I miss this time, I won't be able to ask you next time!"
"No problem!"
Watanabe Toru decisively agreed. After all, Naruto has a special status. It would be good to have one more person to contact him. Besides, he can also get a free meal. This is completely irresistible!
"Meet up in an hour!"
The two of them will return separately after confirming the time. As for the location, we can discuss it later. Anyway, there is Internet and Zhonglian, so there is no need to worry.
Time passed quickly, and Watanabe Tetsuya and Xiyan successfully met in the commercial street.
"Isn't Naruto here yet?"
Seeing only Toru Watanabe, Xiyan couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, the girl changed out of her training attire and put on a rare white waist-length skirt.
Her voluptuous waist is clearly on display. The girl's face is lightly made up, and her glossy lip gloss has a unique charm.
"Watanabe-senpai!"
A shout brought Toru Watanabe, who was in a daze, back to reality. The boy turned his head and touched his nose in embarrassment, making Xiyan cover her mouth and snicker.
With a slight cough, Toru Watanabe forced himself to calm down and turned to look at the source of the sound. There was no doubt that it was Naruto coming.
"I was almost late, Naruto!"
Watanabe Toru pretends to be serious.
Naruto's face suddenly panicked and he said hurriedly:
"I'm sorry, Watanabe-senpai. I was practicing a very powerful ninjutsu just now and accidentally lost track of time. I have worked very hard to get here!"
Watanabe Toru noticed the sweat on Naruto's temples and knew that he was not lying.
Seeing the other party's anxious look, Watanabe felt his heart melt and put a smile on his face.
"It doesn't matter. Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry. If you really need something, you can use the Konoha Alliance. The Ninja School should teach you!"
"I don't like the Konoha Alliance taught in school. I like to use the infinite interconnection that my seniors told me!"
Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment at first, but when he mentioned the infinite Internet, a different light suddenly appeared on the little kid's face.
"Why don't you like Zhonglian? Zhonglian is a village-required practice!"
Xiyan noticed Naruto's expression and asked curiously.
Hearing Xi Yandu's question, Naruto frowned and said unhappily:
"Zhonglian can only use my own name. No one talks to me on Zhonglian, but the Internet is different. There are forums on the Internet!"
Naruto opened his hands and gestured,
"There are many, many people in the forum. They don't care who I am. Many brothers and sisters are willing to chat with me, including Watanabe-senpai!"
Naruto smiled sheepishly.
Toru Watanabe told him that the unlimited Internet has indeed changed his life. Seeing all kinds of people communicating on the forum and his participation in it has effectively reduced his previous loneliness.
The only thing that bothers him now is writing. After all, at his age, he has not learned all the writing, so it is very uncomfortable when he encounters unfamiliar words when communicating with people on the forum!
Of course, he would not tell Toru Watanabe about this. He did not want to be looked down upon, so he decided to listen hard to the lectures and finish learning the text first!
"..."
Seeing Naruto's innocent and optimistic expression, Xiyan suddenly felt a little sad.
Just being able to talk to someone makes me so happy. You can imagine what kind of life the other person has been living.
Watanabe must have experienced such pain before paying attention to this child!
Xiyan thought of Toru Watanabe's background and felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go. The beautiful sister will treat us to a big dinner today. I can't wait!"
Watanabe Toru walked in front. He didn't plan to eat any ramen this time. Anyway, he hadn't eaten barbecue for a while, so he took Naruto with him to let him experience delicious food other than ramen.
Naruto and Xi Yan were walking behind Toru Watanabe. Naruto looked at Xi Yan and then at Toru Watanabe's back and suddenly asked:
"Sister, you are so beautiful. Are you dating Watanabe-senpai?"
This is the second time Naruto has met Uzuki Xiyan. The last time she was with Toru Watanabe, it was still the same the second time they met. No wonder Naruto is curious!
"Ah...ah?"
Xi Yan didn't seem to hear clearly at first, but when she reacted, her fair face suddenly turned red.
"What does a little kid know about dating? Remember not to talk nonsense. This is my teammate, Maoyue Xiyan. You can call her sister Xiyan. Be careful to make the sponsor angry. We are all going to drink the northwest wind!
”
Watanabe Toru turned around and cursed with a smile.
"I, I..."
Xi Yan's lips parted slightly, and she muttered a few times, but no words came out.
A group of three people quickly entered the barbecue Q. Naruto had obviously not been here before, looking around with curiosity written on his face.
The three of them sat down, and the waiter came over quickly, taking orders and chatting, and the time passed little by little.
After eating the last skewer of grilled meat, Watanabe Toru leaned on the sofa and burped with satisfaction. Naruto opposite him was also holding his stomach, his eyes wide open!
"By the way Naruto, you said before that you were practicing a very powerful ninjutsu. What ninjutsu is it?"
When Toru Watanabe said this, Naruto, who had just eaten too much and didn't want to move, suddenly became energetic!
The little kid jumped down from the sofa and said happily:
"Watanabe-senpai, let's go outside and let me show you. It's really a super powerful technique, and I developed it myself!"
"Nani?"
Watanabe Toru seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"I also want to see what kind of powerful ninjutsu it is? I'm also very curious!"
Xiyan on the side showed an interested look,
Watanabe Toru covered his face, leaned back and looked at the sky speechlessly. He regretted why he wanted to do this to Naruto when he was too busy!
