Chapter 256 Before Graduation (Part )
The last one is Yahiko. Although Yahiko is the least talented among the three little ones, his talent can be said to be very high in the Hidden Mist Village, at least surpassing most of the Hidden Mist ninjas.
Yahiko's physique can be said to be extremely compatible with water jutsu, and he has unparalleled talent in water jutsu chakra. In Kiyoshi's opinion, he is at least on the same level as the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon. In the entire Mist Village, only the disciple of the Third Mizukage Bing, Hoshigaki Kisame, is slightly better than Yahiko in water jutsu talent.
For water-style ninjas, the power of the technique depends on, firstly, the environment, and secondly, the amount of chakra of the practitioner. Therefore, it is obvious that for Yahiko, increasing the amount of chakra is his top priority at this stage.
In general, it should not be a problem for Yahiko, who specializes in water escape, to grow into a Kage-level fighter under Seiji's training.
Seeing the three little ones with bitter expressions on their faces, Qingsi continued, "Tomorrow's graduation exam will basically be a sure thing for you. However, as disciples of the Mizukage, your assessment should be stricter than that of others."
After hearing this, the three children's faces became solemn. They knew in their hearts that Qing Si, as a teacher, was right.
As disciples of the Fourth Mizukage, the three of them shoulder the responsibility and expectations of the Hidden Mist Village. They cannot be satisfied with just passing the ordinary graduation exam, but must show higher strength and potential.
Qingsi went on to say: "So, today is your real graduation test in terms of ninja strength. I will personally conduct the assessment and give you corresponding evaluations based on your performance. If you can show due strength and quality and meet my requirements, then I will personally grant you the Kirigakure Ninja Headband, and you will officially become Genin. But if your performance is not satisfactory, then..."
Having said that, Qingsi paused, with a hint of severity in his eyes. Although he was usually gentle and amiable to his disciples, at this critical moment, as the Fourth Mizukage, he had to show his majesty.
The three little ones held their breath nervously, waiting for his next words.
"Then you need to go back to the training room and be retrained until you reach the standard!" Qingsi said seriously.
The three little ones nodded one after another, indicating that they understood the importance of it.
At this time, several figures appeared in the training ground in the backyard of Seiji's house. The third generation Mizukage Bing, with his three disciples Uzumaki Kana, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Terumi Mei, came to watch the battle.
Hoshigaki Kisame and Mei Terumi, who are of the same age, are only one grade younger than Sanxiao. They will graduate from the Ninja Academy in the 43rd year of Kirigakure and officially embark on the road of becoming a ninja. Of course, in order to maintain the tacit understanding between teammates, Uzumaki Kana, although much older than Hoshigaki Kisame and Mei Terumi, also became their classmate at Bing's request. It's just that she usually spends more time developing her own sealing techniques and seldom goes to class.
As disciples of the Third Mizukage Bing, the three of them will most likely be asked to do this next year, which is why they came with Bing to watch the game. Moreover, as disciples of the Mizukage, the Third and Fourth generation teams also have a healthy competitive relationship with each other.
"brush!!!"
Several more figures appeared in an instant. They had received news that the other high-ranking members of the Hidden Mist who were allowed by Qingsi to come and watch the "formal" graduation examination of the disciples of the Fourth Mizukage would of course be present as well.
This was also the first official appearance of the three disciples of the Fourth Mizukage Seiji in front of the top leaders of Kirigakure.
Looking at the big guys who kept coming to watch the game, the three little ones were so nervous that they couldn't express it in words. They were really under a lot of pressure.
They were very worried that their performance would bring shame to Qingsi as their teacher.
"Well then! Let's begin!" Qing Si didn't give them any more time to hesitate. He formed the Seal of Opposition and decisively gave the order to start the battle. He believed that his disciples could adjust in time and, in the next battle, hand in an answer sheet that would satisfy everyone.
Kiyoshi did not come up with any bell-grabbing test like Konoha did. After all, grabbing the bell was just to train the mutual cooperation between teammates. It was unnecessary for the current Kirigakure ninjas and students of the Ninja School!
Over the years, the Kirigakure ninjas have gradually changed their original "lone wolf" combat style, and more and more Kirigakure ninjas have begun to form complementary combat teams.
Moreover, teamwork is one of the compulsory courses in the Ninja School, and it is also one of the most important cores of the spiritual beliefs of the Hidden Mist Village!
Only when one's strength reaches the point where they can crush everything can one unleash truly powerful strength by fighting as a team. This famous saying by the Fourth Mizukage Seiji has long been deeply engraved in the hearts of the Kirigakure ninjas and students of the Ninja School.

.........
The three little ones did not disappoint Qingsi's expectations. Although they were full of tension and pressure, they did not give up.
The big guys who came to watch the battle at the edge of the training ground made them realize the importance of this "graduation exam". With Yahiko's loud encouragement, the three little ones quickly adjusted their mentality, formed the seal of opposition towards their teacher Seiji, and entered combat mode.
Seeing Seiji standing there calmly without any movement, the three little ones quickly changed their positions, with Konan and Nagato in the front and Yahiko standing behind them.
"PAPER SHURIKEN!!!"
Konan took the lead in launching the attack. Countless papers floated out of Konan's hands and quickly changed into sharp shurikens in the air, shooting towards Qingsi quickly.
Nagato beside him also quickly formed seals, Wu-Chen, two seals were completed in an instant, and then he put his hands together.
"Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!!!"
A simple C-level wind jutsu, in Nagato's hands, exerted a power close to that of a B-level one. The wind jutsu chakra was constantly compressed in Nagato's hands, and a violent gust of wind gushed out from his palms, like a ferocious beast, rushing out with a roar.
Under the influence of the strong wind, the speed of the paper shuriken instantly increased by several levels and shot towards Qingsi. The sharp whistling sound immediately resounded throughout the venue.
The people watching the fight nodded secretly. The disciple of Mizukage is still quite capable. The tacit cooperation of using wind escape to accelerate the paper shuriken and enhance its lethality was really eye-catching.
