Haruno Sakura said tiredly, "I knew that Master would not die from such a blow, so I didn't hold back. I didn't expect that it would not work after all."

Mizuki walked closer and looked at Haruno Sakura, who was already somewhat exhausted.

"Today's test is almost over." Mizuki patted the dirt off his body and said calmly, "These punches are quite powerful. You can try them on Kakashi-sensei when he's unprepared and see what happens to him."

"Eh? It looks very dangerous!"

Mizuki's ill-intentioned suggestion was something Sakura didn't want to try casually.

Turning around and looking around, Shuimu stepped on the ground where he had fallen for the first time, and indeed found something different.

"The opening move you just used was the one that released earth attribute chakra. How did you come up with that?"

Mizuki didn't believe that this move was taught to him by someone else. So far, Mizuki had only seen one similar starting fighting technique, which was the soft fist of the Hyuga family.

Before undergoing changes in form and properties, chakra is invisible and will quickly dissipate into the air if not utilized.

The only way to change and utilize chakra in this way is the Gentle Fist.

Why does the enemy wait obediently for the attack and find it difficult to counterattack after the opening move of Baguazhang, the Soft Fist, is performed? This has nothing to do with any metaphysical theory. Mizuki, who has practiced against Hinata Hyuga many times, knows very well that the opening move of the Hyuga family's Soft Fist uses the principle of chakra release to form a special field, which makes the enemy trapped in it feel extremely delayed and difficult to react in time.

This ability is not something that can be used casually, but is acquired after years of hard training. The textured chakra energy circle is the hunting ground of the Hyuga Soft Fist, which is effective in detecting, locking, and trapping enemies. In addition to the Byakugan, this ability is the most precious of the Hyuga family, and it is basically impossible for outsiders to learn it. The physique that is adapted to the Soft Fist is formed through generations of selection, and others cannot master it.

This is not unknown to all ninjas. There are ninjutsu created based on this method, such as the Water Prison Technique. It is a simplified and beggar version of this principle. It is not that no one wanted to make a big fuss in this area before, but it was too difficult and not cost-effective.

Sakura happened to choose the earth attribute, which is the most suitable for this method among the five attributes. Its thickness and toughness are very suitable for this fighting style.

Another shackle of using this fighting method is that it requires a huge amount of chakra, which is also the fundamental reason why this technique is not popular. It is rare to find someone as special as Hinata. The high concentration of earth attribute chakra permeated in such a short time, even Haruno Sakura, who was supported by the Breath Containment Technique, was a little overwhelmed. You can see how difficult this technique is.

Facing Mizuki's probing gaze, Haruno Sakura said a little embarrassedly: "I want to imitate the Water Prison Technique. Even Kakashi-sensei was trapped and helpless. I want to use this move to make the enemy unable to resist if someone gets close to me, and then knock him down with random punches."

"As expected." Shuimu nodded, "Do you regret not choosing water escape at that time?"

"No." Sakura replied, "Earth escape is more suitable for me. I like the feeling of defeating the enemy with my feet on the ground."

"That stomping kick, using the ground to coordinate the attack, was pretty good."

Mizuki was also quite satisfied with Sakura's wisdom in this kind of battle.

"Master, do you think I have passed this assessment?" Sakura said, looking at Mizuki with anticipation.

Shui Mu thought for a moment and then said, "The evaluation is divided into four levels: excellent, good, ordinary, and unqualified. Your evaluation is good."

“Isn’t it excellent?”

It seems that everyone is bound to be greedy for more. In the past, they only wanted to be qualified, but now they want to be the best.

Shuimu shook his head and explained: "Tell me about the mistakes you made in this assessment..."

"You lack combat experience and awareness. You underestimated the severity of the battles between ninjas. You fell for a little self-torture at the beginning, which is not good. Without much actual combat, you can't grasp the right choice of time in a fierce battle. One mistake can mean the difference between life and death. You must remember this. Ninja is not a game. People will die."

Mizuki spoke seriously and Sakura nodded continuously.

"The timing of that last heavy punch was not good. Putting all your hopes on one move means that in actual combat, you are already half dead, and the remaining half of your life is left to fate. Don't use too much force, especially when you don't have teammates or your teammates need your support. Don't fight too hard easily."

"Finally, your physical strength and power are shortcomings. This is not entirely your fault. As an underage female ninja, you are not good at physical strength, but your performance is particularly obvious. In the future, you must focus on physical training. The subjects I have assigned to you are long-distance running and swimming. You must stop using chakra to cheat and persevere purely with your body. You must set aside some time every day for long-distance running. As for swimming, due to the weather and your reasons, you can arrange it freely, but I want to see the results in the next test."

Mizuki glanced at Sakura's flat figure, especially in winter, when she wore thicker clothes, making her curves even less visible.

"A little girl of this age should have her period... Yeah, that's for sure, but it's hard to force her to swim."

Shuimu, who seemed to be thinking about something, nodded complacently to confirm his guess.

"I always feel like Master is thinking of something rude!"

Sakura crossed her arms around her shoulders and looked at Mizuki suspiciously.

"You think too much." Then, Shuimu took out another scroll.

"Although the test results are good, it seems that the test of illusion and sealing techniques cannot be carried out. This is for you. In the next test, I want you to learn this technique and use it skillfully, and then defeat the enemy. I will tell you how to do the test later."

Sakura took the scroll doubtfully, unfolded the outermost information and took a quick glance at it.

"Illusion?"

"Yes." Shuimu nodded and replied, "This is the first illusion I created by combining my current understanding of illusions."

"Hey, another original ninjutsu, is there any danger?"

"Don't worry!" Shui Mu answered confidently: "I have tried this technique myself and nothing unexpected happened. Take it back and read it slowly. You will be surprised."
