Time flies, and before we know it, the second New Year after Shuimu’s time travel is not far away.

Compared with last year's fear and confusion about the future, today's outcome is undoubtedly much better.

Among the time travelers, there are not many who are as frustrated as Shuimu at the beginning and still can't make a breakthrough. Fortunately, he has extraordinary knowledge and intelligence, plus the self-learning ability acquired through systematic education, which is the decisive factor in breaking free from the shackles.

As the saying goes, "Preparation is the key to success, while lack of preparation leads to failure." Last year's haste and surprise set off this year's smoothness and ease. So far, most of Shuimu's goals have been achieved. If we want to make further qualitative improvements in the future, we need to test our true qualities.

There must be a limit to taking shortcuts. Some things cannot be solved by just taking advantage of the opportunity. It also requires real wisdom and decision-making, diligence and perseverance to have the last laugh.

“It’s cold!”

As a teacher, outdoor teaching during this period is quite uncomfortable, but this year is special and some things cannot be taken lightly.

This is the first Chunin Exam after the new year. For those who did not participate last time, this will be their best chance.

In the middle of the year, there will be a larger-scale Chunin Exam, but the venue will be changed to Sand Village. If Hyuga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba are still not promoted to Chunin after three months, the leading jonin will have to go to Sand Village again.

Shuimu, whose time is precious, doesn't want to waste it on these meaningless things.

"Teacher Mizuki, we have no objection to such strict training, but our team is short of one person, what should we do?"

Aburame Shino has been promoted to Chunin for a year, so it is impossible for her to team up with the two again, so they must recruit more people.

"I will take care of this matter. Teacher Kai and Teacher Asuma each have two students, and the three teams together make a total of six people, but I still need to discuss the specific arrangements with them."

"Hey, if we reassign teams for the Chunin Exams, we can just add Choji in."

Rock Lee with thick eyebrows is powerful but not very familiar. Akimichi Chouji, who was originally not outstanding, gradually revealed the power of his family's secret techniques as he grew older, and his absolute strength can be considered outstanding among the Genin.

"Don't be picky. Things haven't been decided yet. Let's wait until we teachers reach a consensus. Your task now is to work hard to improve yourself, instead of pinning your hopes on getting a strong teammate."

"knew!"

Special training in heavy snow weather is also to cope with the environment in the Death Forest after the New Year. This year there is no need to spend a lot of effort to adjust the climate inside to adapt to candidates from all over the world. The conditions inside are very different from last year, and it is necessary to simulate the environment appropriately.

"Shino, you come and help them with their training. I'll go ahead and wait for you at the finish line."

Arranging a mock exam took Shuimu a lot of energy, but it was worth it to increase the success rate a little bit.

In Konoha Village, the most powerful Genin have basically been promoted. Except for the unexpected move of Rock Lee, the most powerful ninja last time, the chances of promotion of Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuga Hinata should be quite high this time.

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to cross the long distance and reach the finish line, Mizuki began to focus most of his attention on practicing Lava Release.

The activation of each bloodline limit is the result of a certain part of oneself being destroyed and then rebuilt. This cannot be achieved through practice alone. In fact, talent is the decisive factor.

If you don't have good aptitude, you can only use methods like Shuimu, use it first, then practice slowly, and get closer little by little. Otherwise, it is basically impossible to succeed.

Everyone knows that the fusion of Earth Style and Water Style will generate Wood Style, but so far, no one has learned Wood Style through self-practice; there is also Lava Style, the miracle of the fusion of Fire Style and Earth Style, but although it is also Lava Style, the manifestations are not necessarily the same.

In this situation, how can a ninja who only knows the theory practice bloodline limit?

Bloodline is the most convenient shortcut, followed by talent. Geniuses can always break all conventions, such as Kotsubaki and Mei Terumi. The last method is inheritance, such as Ohnoki's bloodline elimination - Dust Release, using the tailed beast chakra to use Melting Release and Boiling Release. Magnetic Release, etc., can also be classified as a kind of inheritance.

A lava ball was spinning in Shuimu's palm. Although he was not very skilled at manipulation at first, with Shuimu's unremitting efforts, he gradually produced gratifying results.

Shuimu flipped his palm and the lava ball fell under the tree. The hot and rotating lava ball suddenly exploded on the snow, and a big hole was blown out on the ground.

"Laojuku - Rasengan, does not use the tailed beast's chakra, it is just a fusion of earth jutsu and fire jutsu, the power is still far inferior."

This should be the difference in chakra quality. After adding the fairy chakra, the power will be much greater.

Being able to formally master Lava Release is already a good result. Lava Release Chakra Mode can only be achieved in Sage Mode with the help of Tailed Beast Chakra. If you want to use it as a regular method, you need to continue practicing. The current Lava Release can only spit out a few lava balls, which is not very useful. As for rolling balls like Naruto, forget it, it is too far from Mizuki's fighting style.

…

The Bear Country, a peninsula country adjacent to the Fire Country and the Tea Country and across the sea from the Wave Country, is a relatively peaceful little place.

Shuimu had investigated this country carefully half a year ago. He had the impression that there were several places covered by smoke and poisonous fog in this country, but they were not Jedi, nor were there any Hidden Star Villages. He also did not find any meteorite fragments that could accelerate the practice of chakra in the human body but had hidden dangers. Naturally, there was no Peacock Magic either.

There are several ninja organizations stationed in this country, but no one knows whether there is any ninja village in this small country. Naturally, Mizuki's action to explore the secret of the meteorite fragments came to nothing.

Recently, some bad rumors have appeared in this originally peaceful country. Rumors of monsters and killers coming from the sea have spread everywhere, making everyone panic. The small organizations here dare not easily provoke such powerful ninjas who are likely to be murderous, so the local residents have to put their hopes on the nearby Fire Country, Konoha Village.

A ninja wearing an animal mask was walking among the evergreen bushes and swamps on the hills, searching for suspicious clues. Judging from his thin figure, he should be young, but his agile skills showed his calmness and experience after many battles.
