A ray of light in the horizon was swallowed up, and the sky turned into an empty and tasteless gray-blue.

In the training ground of Cannon City.

With a clang, the ninja knife fell to the ground, and a handful of gravel was raised on the blade.

"I lost." Xia Shu was stunned for a moment, stroked the red mark on the side of her neck, and sighed.

"You didn't lose." After weighing the newly cast ninja knife, Maruhei Kosuke felt that he was good at it, so he put it away and shook his head and said.

Xia Shu's eyes fell on Lanying Knife that fell to the ground. She was silent for a moment and nodded and said, "That's right, I didn't lose."

"Why didn't you lose? I saw it." Kuroyuki ran over excitedly from outside the field, picked up the Lanying knife and handed it to Xia Shu, and said while gesturing: "Senior Kusuke shot down your knife like this first, and then slashed your neck. It's so amazing! Hehe! Natsuki, don't deny failure, it will take you a step further from success!"

Xia Shu glanced at the smug guy and rolled his eyes. The gesture was very different from the timing. It was obvious that he had no talent in swordsmanship.

Maruseki Kosuke said it very well. He did not lose. This was not a competition. It was purely a guide or aid, so naturally there was no winning or losing.

But what made him even more dismayed was that he seemed to have no strength that Maruseki Kosuke had valued. After all, Maruseki Kosuke was underestimated from beginning to end.

As if he felt the loneliness of the young man, Maruhei Kosuke said gently: "Nashiki's swordsmanship has taken shape. If you work harder, you may have a great success."

"Senior Gu Jie, thank you for your advice!" Without saying anything, Xia Shu put away Lanying Knife, bent down and bowed.

"Haha! Don't think too much, young man." Maruhei Kosuke shook his head slightly and said, "If we have time tomorrow, we can continue to discuss."

"Yes!" Xia Shu nodded quickly and responded.

Even though Maruseki Kosuke only made one move at the end, he still felt that his sword skills had improved a lot after this competition. If he did it a few more times, perhaps the remaining two moves of the three sword skills could be mastered as soon as possible.

Besides, this also means that it has finally become a relationship with the hidden master Maruseki Kusuke.

Looking at Maruseki Kosuke's skills, he can learn everything except the water escape ninjutsu, especially the sword technique that blends with illusion.

Thanks to his two lives and his mental power accumulation, he is also talented in illusion.

Perhaps the power of the illusion is average, but Natsuki really has no choice. Of course, the illusion that Maruhei Kosuke's illusion that blends hands into swordsmanship is not something that can be generalized by just illusion.

In short, Xia Shu was restless in her heart, so a hint of joy appeared on her face.

...

As night fell, the already quiet remnant city dissipated a little noise. Like a sleeping ferocious beast, it exuded a brutal aura, but it could not move.

In the distance, wind and sand are hidden, which is different from the cold of the day, howling with the wind.

Several figures lie in the sand arched up, and the sand on their bodies was blown away by the night wind, as if there was a thick fog.

In the thick fog, several voices sounded.

"There is still no movement, it seems that there will be no sudden situation. Well, the time is over, and it's time for us to evacuate."

"Evacuation? Don't you need to wait for rotation to arrive?"

"What are you waiting for? There is nothing to hand over here. Besides, the camp has shortage of supplies recently. The supply that Suoliang said before had arrived yesterday has not arrived. Let's look on the road as early as possible to see if we can get a sand lizard to eat."

"Sir Aoray..."

"What a shit! He is born like me, at most he can speak flattery with his mouth. The troops he led in the previous battle were wiped out. If it weren't for the war, that level of strategic mistake would have been enough to make him hanged ten or eight times!" The man snorted coldly: "Even so, that guy Suoliang was also withdrawn from the battlefield to be responsible for reconnaissance and defense. Damn! I'll report to him later!"

"senior……"

"Okay, hurry up and leave."

After the man impatiently urged him, the thick fog-like wind and sand were blown away, and the bright and cold moonlight fell, and the shadows under the cover had disappeared from the spot.

The remnant city is as old as before, and Sha Yin seems to be silent, but the undercurrent is already surging, breaking the dam at any time!

Before the storm comes, it is always extra quiet.

...

The garrison of the Cannon City is still boring. On the morning when the coolness just disappeared, Ye Shanling's team replaced him.

Natsuki's eyes were tired. Even though he had accumulated his spiritual energy in recent days, he could not withstand the continuous consumption. In addition, he had a trial with Maruseki Kusuke's swordsmanship, and he gradually showed signs of his body being hollowed out.

Especially when I woke up yesterday, I was tired. If it weren't for the Black Rain of Kuroo, I would have forgotten even on duty. Then I had to hold on for a night, and suddenly I felt a feeling of liberation.

"Don't call me for lunch, Heiyu, I'm going to sleep all day!" He rubbed his eyes and felt weak.

"Okay." Kuino Heiyu nodded and looked at the yawning Xia Shu in confusion, "Why are you suddenly so... sleepy?"

He was a little confused about the words that describe Xia Shu's current state.

"The atmosphere in the city is getting more and more urgent, which makes me feel a little nervous. What? Didn't you notice it?" Xia Shu glanced at the boy beside him.

Kuroyuki was stunned when he heard this, but he was unwilling to admit defeat. He stubbornly said, "How is that possible? Of course I discovered it. Teacher Hirano also said that the decisive battle is coming!"

Seeing this, Xia Shu shook her head and smiled, slapped her palms on her mouth, yawned and vomited, and said casually: "Then are you ready?"

"Of course! It's time for me to kill the enemy and make achievements in the end of this war!" Kuroyuki raised his head and chest, looking like the dawn was on me, "Don't worry, Natsuki, for the sake of our friendship, I will take care of you in the future!"

"Haha! You guy..." Xia Shu shook her head and laughed, but before he could quip Kuye Heiyu, a figure suddenly rushed out of the alley next to him.

"Little devil! What do you think war is??" A strong emotion was hidden in the stern questioning.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly took action. Natsuki was caught off guard. The person who rushed out grabbed Kuino Heiyu's shoulder and then grabbed his neck.

A dark face, bared her teeth and gasped, made her mediocre appearance look ferocious.

Of course, the most important thing is that the other party is wearing a Konoha Ninja vest, which is obviously a Zhongnin.

After glanced away, Xia Shu made a brief analysis in his heart, but his movements were not slow at all.

He kicked it out and hit the face of the visitor.

Bang!
