"Now, let me see the results of your two months!"

Mizuki stretched his hands forward and raised a light blue chakra shield.

Haruno Sakura looked at Mizuki nervously, and suddenly, she flew forward, with a light blue light appearing on her arms.

"Chakra scalpel, test?"

Mizuki did not use any advanced ninjutsu to stop Sakura. If he had done so, Mizuki would instantly transform into an extremely powerful artillery and turn the area within dozens of meters into scorched earth in a short while. There would then be no point in the assessment.

The chakra scalpel flashing in Sakura's arms really has some shadow of swordsmanship. The concise and sharp style is indeed quite imposing, and it is far from the Yanliu that Mizuki has seen, but it is also quite good.

"Did Kakashi-sensei teach you that? Not bad."

Seeing that the test was almost over, Mizuki removed the chakra shield, drew out the wind shuriken, and used pure close combat to test Sakura's basic qualities.

In terms of flexibility, Sakura did quite well. Her ability to move around in a small area was indeed quite good. However, she was limited by her strength and speed, and was unable to bring out the essence of close combat.

The small and nimble Haruno Sakura fought against the aggressive Mizuki quite well. However, after several head-on collisions, Haruno Sakura could not withstand the rapid consumption of physical strength in a short period of time, so she had to jump out of the battle circle, gasping for breath to recover her strength.

Mizuki did not pursue the victory, but raised his hand to look at the Fuma Shuriken in his hand, and the jagged gaps on it were clearly visible.

"It's still powerful. The medical ninjutsu was not abandoned. That's good."

As one of Haruno Sakura's first close combat methods, the Chakra Scalpel has great potential. It is useful in combat, but also in medical treatment. There is no harm in practicing it well.

After hearing what Mizuki said, the exhausted Haruno Sakura did not show any sign of satisfaction. The previous battle had made her realize what she lacked the most in close combat. If she continued to fight in this state, there was no chance of winning.

Sakura Haruno figured it out and quickly changed her strategy. The color of the chakra in her arms began to change, and the light blue chakra gradually turned into light yellow. Unlike the previous sharpness, a heavy feeling came out.

Sakura, who was ready, attacked again, no longer using her previous clever tactics. This time she did not shy away from a head-on confrontation with Mizuki.

The hardening brought about by the change in the earth attribute, the greatly improved defense, and the instantaneous counterattack ability, pose a much greater threat to Mizuki than before. Moreover, since it is a ninjutsu that releases chakra, it does not have the lack of flexibility brought by the B-level ninjutsu Earth Style - Earth Spear, and is more suitable for Haruno Sakura's characteristics.

After a fistfight with Sakura, the Fuma Shuriken in Mizuki's hand finally couldn't withstand the huge damage and broke in the middle, with the blade flying far away. Mizuki looked at the half-broken hilt in his hand, shook his head, and threw it on the ground.

"Fighting the enemy with bare hands?"

After thinking about it, Shuimu pulled out a kunai from the ninja tool bag behind him. It had been a long time since Shuimu had fought with bare hands. It was more reassuring to have an iron tool in hand. Only when he was making hand seals and using ninjutsu would he get used to fighting without weapons.

Unlike the Chakra Scalpel and other attacks, Sakura's ninjutsu, which was formed by the transformation of the Chakra Shield and combined with the changes in the nature of the earth attribute and with reference to the earth escape technique - the evolution of the earth spear, is essentially still a ninjutsu. If the Raikage's ninjutsu improves speed and attack, Sakura's ninjutsu based on the earth attribute is developed in the direction of defense and attack.

The following battle was a pure test of Haruno Sakura's basic ninja abilities. Even though she didn't try her best and was just using physical techniques, she tried her best to control the strength in her hands, but she still had the upper hand with her rich experience.

Seeing this situation, Sakura, who still couldn't gain an advantage, decided to give it a try. Chakra surged out of her body, forming a field of chakra enriched with earth-attribute properties around her body.

"What is this?" Shuimu looked at the little girl opposite in surprise as she was about to use her ultimate move. "It's really amazing!"

The body was like being put into sticky glue, unable to move freely at all. The process from thought transmission to action completion was obviously half a beat slower, and this difference in reaction ability in close combat was an obvious flaw. During the time when Shuimu was stunned, a heavy punch hit Shuimu's abdomen, and a sharp pain was transmitted to Shuimu's mind.

"Even if there is a Yin Healing and Damage Reduction, it still hurts when it should hurt."

Before Shuimu could catch his breath, a hand grabbed Shuimu who was about to fly backwards, and then a punch hit Shuimu's chest again.

This time, Sakura's weak arms could no longer hold Mizuki, and Mizuki, whose chest was suffocated by the blow, flew backwards several meters. Before he landed, his collar was grabbed again, and then Sakura stepped forward with her right foot, exerted force, and then threw Mizuki over her shoulder, smashing him heavily to the ground.

"No, this is not an ordinary fighting method. There is something strange on the ground."

Mizuki didn't feel the slight cushioning of the ground when he landed. The ground seemed to have a strong upward force, hitting Mizuki hard. This feeling was more uncomfortable than being hit on a steel plate, as if the ground was also standing on Sakura's side.

"Did the heavy stomping just now control the nearby land to impact in the opposite direction?"

This move really impressed Mizuki. If it was a Chunin or even a Jonin with slightly weaker strength, they would also be defeated if they were not careful.

However, this was not the end yet. Mizuki, who was knocked unconscious, had not yet reacted when Sakura, with all her last bit of strength, threw a heavy punch with thick ochre-colored chakra, which hit her hard.

"Final blow, are you out of energy? Looks like this is almost over."

The embarrassed Mizuki made a seal without losing any opportunity. Sakura, who was determined to achieve her goal with one strike, suddenly felt her eyes blurred, and then they became clear again in an instant.

"not good."

Knowing that something was wrong, Sakura increased the speed of her punches. A loud roar was heard and the rising smoke and dust immediately obscured the two people fighting.

When the smoke cleared, Sakura looked at the shattered wood under her fist in disappointment.

The continuous explosions and heavy blows, coupled with the exhaustion of physical strength, made Sakura unable to hold on and she fell to the ground.

"Why, you're so unwilling and want to beat me into a cripple?"

Mizuki's voice came from not far away, and Mizuki, covered in mud, appeared in Haruno Sakura's sight again.
