Bang... A dull sound, two figures appeared in mid-air, collided with each other, and quickly separated.
Ning Ci stood up straight, looking at the serious face of Ah Kai, and said calmly: "Teacher Kai, I'm going to use my true strength now, you'd better be careful!" The purple pupils appeared instantly, Ning Ci charged straight at Ah Kai, leaving a string of afterimages in the air.
"Such a direct attack, the opponent can easily counterattack, Ningci, have you forgotten?" Kai laughed as he looked at Ningci's rapidly approaching figure, and a swift kick with a fierce gust of wind shot towards Ningci.
"What's going on?" Kai suddenly felt as if he was wrapped in a ball of water, his movements becoming extremely laborious and slow. In Kai's line of sight, Ning Ci, who had already been incredibly fast, somehow increased his speed again, appearing quickly in front of Kai and grabbing his right leg with his left hand.
"Kai-sensei, didn't I say that I'll use my own strength from now on? Oh, right, controlling the air is also one of my abilities now!" Ning said in a soft voice. Before Kai could counterattack, a circle of purple-red chakra appeared around his body, and nine chakra tails reappeared once again.
"Hakke no Kokoro, Hyaku Nijū Hachi Shō!" Two chakra tails on Kai moved rapidly as Ningci simultaneously released the air that was suppressing Kai, watching as he flew out.
"Teacher Ke......" Looking at how unbelievably Ke was instantly knocked out by Ning, Li's face was filled with incredulity as he stared at Ning. His body, however, quickly sprang into action and rushed to the empty space, catching Ke's body in mid-air.
Ningci slowly walked past, looking at Kai who was staring at him with an incredulous expression. The Chakra tail behind Ningci reappeared and pointed at Kai, but this time it was just to dispel the seal.
"Teacher Ke, this is my new ability, controlling the air. This is what I've gained during this period of time, and it's very useful for dealing with pure martial arts experts. However, I also know that you're holding back on me, otherwise if you were to use the Eight Gates Escaping Technique, I wouldn't have been able to resist." Ning Ci said in a soft voice, he was actually afraid that Ke would suddenly get excited and use the Eight Gates Escaping Technique to forcefully open up his acupoints, which would be very uncomfortable.
"And you don't have to be discouraged, your lifelong rival Kakashi was also dealt with by me today, he's even more miserable than you. I specifically told him that I'm the Azure Dragon of Konoha - a student taught by Aka!" Looking at Kai who still had an unpleasant expression, Ning thought for a moment and said in a low voice, while also thinking to himself, hoping Kakashi wouldn't blame him, after all, besides him and Li, no one else could withstand Aka's teaching!
Kai nodded, stood up, patted Ning's shoulder, looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. Suddenly, two lines of tears flowed out. "Youth is indeed unpredictable! Is it telling me to work harder? It must be so, otherwise my disciple wouldn't have suddenly become so strong. Li, youth has given us a hint, we need to work even harder. Let's go, run ten laps around the wooden leaf!"
"Yes, Teacher Ke, you are indeed wise. Such a difficult question, and yet you were able to guess it too! I really admire you so much! Let's chase after the footsteps of youth together!" Li said at this time with great enthusiasm, his eyes blazing with excitement.
"Go, Li!" Akai's face was also filled with excitement, and the two of them disappeared slowly into the distance, leaving Ningci and Tiantian behind.
Still can't stand him, but Ning Ci now has some admiration for Kakaxi's endurance, unbelievable!
"What have you been busy with lately?" Looking at Kai and Li running far away, Tian Tian's small face suddenly turned red, and she secretly glanced at Ning Ci, asking in a low voice.
"Ah, it's not very convenient to talk about these things with you." Ning Ci said lightly and walked over to sit down. Seeing Tian Tian's slightly low mood, he let out a gentle "oh". Ning Ci smiled and said, "Alright, come sit here for a bit. I reckon Teacher Kai and the others will need some more time before they get back!"
"En." Tian nodded, maintaining a calm expression while hiding a hint of excitement. She sat down beside Ning Ci, looking at him with some curiosity, "Ning Ci, you've become so much stronger over this period of time! Even Teacher Ke isn't your match anymore!"
"No, don't underestimate Ke teacher. If he wants to go all out, I'm afraid no one can say they can beat him for sure. How's your recent training?" Ning said calmly. For Ning who had fought against Yunying, that pervert, Ke was not even a worthy opponent if he didn't use the Eight Gates Escaping Technique.
Every day, nodding her head, there was suddenly some silence between the two of them. Every day looked at the boy in front of her who she had been thinking about day and night for a long time, and suddenly didn't know what to say. She had originally prepared many words to say to Ningci, but when she actually saw him, she couldn't get them out.
There was a faint sense of grievance in her heart, and the clear big eyes were covered with a layer of mist. Every day, she didn't know what was wrong with herself, looking at Ning Ci who was close at hand, but always feeling that he seemed to be far away from her, so far that it was unattainable...
"Alright, don't be like this anymore."
Every day, she suddenly felt a refreshing sensation on her face, lifted her head, and saw Ning Ci stretching out his hand to caress her face, his gentle words making Tian Tian's heart warm up instantly.
"Alright, I think Teacher Ke and the others will be practicing late into the night, let's head back first. Today I don't have anything on, want to stroll around the streets with me?" Ning Ci said gently as he looked at Tian Tian, who had a pitiful expression on her face.
Every day hastily nodded, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and followed behind Ning Ci. Looking at Ning Ci's back, which seemed to have grown much taller, Tian Tian felt an unusual sense of joy in her heart.
"Great, Hiyori, you've made a lot of progress, keep up the good work!" From afar, in a dense thicket, Kokuu Shino spoke softly to Hiyori who was lying on the ground.
"Yes, thank you for taking the trouble to accompany me here to practice." Hiyori said in a soft voice.
"Wang Wang" red circle called out from the side, "Right, don't be polite, we're a team." Yada said with a big smile, "However, Inoue, your brother is so formidable, why didn't you let him come and teach you? But even if you don't say it, I can guess, that kind of person must look down on others, right?"
"Ao wu......" Akamaru suddenly shuddered, and the three of them felt something, their eyes looking towards the distance. There, Nii-san was slowly walking over with Tiantian, his cold gaze fixed on Ya...
