Time flew by like a shuttle.
A month had passed.
Over the course of that month, Uchiha Matsuzaki had successfully improved the strength of Chestnut Snow and the other three by a great deal.
It was not only them who had grown stronger—Uchiha Matsuzaki had improved considerably as well.
During that month, Uchiha Matsuzaki had checked in many times and gained several unexpected rewards.
Now, Uchiha Matsuzaki had completely mastered Fire Release.
The five of them remained as close as ever.
At the Anbu training grounds, four figures were sparring with one another.
"Snow, Flower Dance, Spirit Grass. As the girls on our team, the three of you must trust each other."
"And you need to have perfect coordination. Even a single glance should be enough to tell what the others want to do."
Uchiha Matsuzaki stood to the side and spoke to them.
"Snow..."
Flower Dance assumed an attacking stance and called out to Chestnut Snow.
Chestnut Snow nodded, then instantly vanished from where she stood. The two of them attacked Yamamoto Takeshi at the same time.
"Do you think I don't know what you're trying to do?"
Yamamoto Takeshi said with a smile as he watched Flower Dance before him.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
A series of collisions rang out.
Flower Dance gradually began to lose ground.
Just as Yamamoto Takeshi launched his final strike, he suddenly turned and looked at Chestnut Snow behind him.
"I've figured out your battle plan!"
Before Yamamoto Takeshi could celebrate, Chestnut Snow suddenly began to laugh.
At that point, Flower Dance no longer had the ability to attack, while Chestnut Snow was firmly pinned down by Yamamoto Takeshi.
"Haha, you lost!"
Spirit Grass held a weapon to Yamamoto Takeshi's neck and said this.
Yamamoto Takeshi had not expected to overlook one of them.
