"My name is Tian Uguisu, and who are you? When did such a powerful person like you appear in our Konoha? I had no idea!" Tian Uguisu glared at Tian Muyan, her tone tinged with resentment.
Upon hearing that the other person was Tian Uguisu, Tian Muyan instantly understood why this girl was so competitive with her. From childhood to adulthood, Tian Uguisu had always enjoyed competing with her. Seeing Tian Uguisu's expression, she couldn't help but smile, immediately disarming herself and revealing a beautiful woman in white. She exuded a youthful, vibrant, and confident aura, and her pure, flawless Byakugan were particularly striking.
" Tian Muyan, is that you?" Tian Uguisu was stunned when she saw Tian Muyan's face, and then shouted.
"Of course it's me, Tian Uguisu! How are you? I missed you so much! You haven't come back to visit in all these years!" Tian Muyan jumped down and hugged Tian Uguisu tightly, her voice filled with excitement.
Tian Uguisu was a little breathless from Tian Muyan's embrace, but she hugged him back tightly, tears welling in her eyes. " Tian Muyan Tian Muyan, it really is you! I missed you so much!"
The two embraced tightly, as if trying to meld into each other. The surrounding air seemed to warm up. Madara Uchiha stood to the side, watching them, a gentle look in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Tian Uguisu would have such a good friend.
"Hey, Tian Muyan, your armor looks so cool!" Tian Uguisu released Tian Muyan, looked her up and down, and said with a hint of envy in her voice.
"Hmph, of course! This armor is my wedding gift, personally crafted by Tsubasa. Not only can it fly, but it can also fire ice arrows! How about it, isn't it amazing?" Tian Muyan proudly raised her chin, a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"Tch, so what if you can fly! I can kill you in an instant with my spear!" Tian Uguisu waved her spear defiantly, a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
"Haha, your crappy gun? Don't brag! My armor is a magical weapon; your gun can't even break through its defenses." Tian Muyan didn't back down, and the two bantered back and forth, but their eyes were full of concern.
"By the way, Tian Muyan, how have you been these past few years? I heard you learned a lot of skills from Tsubasa, is that true?" Tian Uguisu suddenly asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Hmph, of course not! All my skills were learned from my grandfather. Now I'm a super genius in Konoha! By the way, what about you? You've been learning from Madara Uchiha for so many years, have you learned any amazing skills? Don't be unable to withstand one of my arrows later!" Tian Muyan asked back, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Hmph, I'm Madara Uchiha's apprentice, how could I not have learned some amazing skills! My current strength is already at the Super Kage Level! Just you wait, I'll definitely surprise you!" Tian Uguisu raised her chin, a hint of confidence in her eyes.
"Haha, that's my good sister! Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to be so bad! By the way, wasn't I cool when I was flying in the sky just now?" Tian Muyan suddenly jumped up, struck a cool pose, and had a hint of pride in her eyes.
"Tch, anyone can fly in that winged armor of yours! What's so great about it!" Tian Uguisu, though she was unconvinced, there was a hint of envy in her eyes.
"Haha, you're just jealous! But I'm so happy you're finally back! I've been waiting for you all these years!" Tian Muyan jumped down and hugged Tian Uguisu tightly, her voice choked with emotion.
"Me too, Tian Muyan, I miss you so much!" Tian Uguisu hugged her back tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Two good friends, and also formidable rivals, met again after many years, their excitement overflowing. They teased and bantered each other, but their eyes were full of care and concern.
Tian Uguisu was held tightly by Tian Muyan, listening to her chatter like a machine gun. Tian Muyan was like a chatterbox, chattering on and on, talking about things at home one minute and about her funny experiences as an archery instructor in the Kirin Corps the next, completely unaware that Tian Uguisu was getting a little impatient.
"Stop, stop, stop, Tian Muyan, can you shut up for a moment?" Tian Uguisu finally couldn't help but interrupt, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"Oh dear, Tian Uguisu, why are you so impatient? I'm just too excited because I haven't seen you in so long!" Tian Muyan released Tian Uguisu, looking at her with a grin, her eyes full of excitement.
"Alright, enough talk, let's have a fight! Let's see who's stronger!" Tian Uguisu glared at Tian Muyan, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes. She had long wanted to spar with Tian Muyan; after all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and she wanted to know just how much her best friend's strength had improved.
"Haha, of course I'm better than you. I'm the chief archery instructor of the Kirin Corps. I won't bully you." Tian Muyan smiled confidently, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing.
"We'll only know who's stronger after we fight! Are you scared?" Tian Uguisu raised an eyebrow, a hint of provocation flashing in her eyes. She didn't want to be looked down upon by Tian Muyan so easily. After all, she had trained hard with Madara Uchiha for many years, and her strength was not to be underestimated. She was Super Kage Level ninja, one of the few in the entire Shinobi World.
"Hmph, you little rascal, still so competitive! You insist on getting yourself taught a lesson, so I'll grant your wish! It'll also be a good opportunity for me to test your strength gained from all these years of training outside." Tian Muyan smiled, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.
Tian Uguisu was about to tell her master, Madara Uchiha, when she realized that Madara had disappeared without a trace. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Madara probably didn't want to disturb their match, so she turned and walked towards the training ground.
"Let's go to the training ground. Don't cause trouble here," Tian Uguisu said, her tone serious.
"Alright, that's exactly what I was thinking too." Tian Muyan followed Tian Uguisu, and the two of them walked together toward the martial arts training ground on the outskirts of the outer village.
The training ground was a place specifically used by the Konoha Outer Village for training and competitions. The ground was spacious, and there were targets set up around it. Tian Uguisu and Tian Muyan stood in the center of the ground, and a tense atmosphere filled the air around them.
"Why don't you put on your armor?" Tian Uguisu looked at Tian Muyan with a serious expression. She knew that Tian Muyan's armor was no ordinary armor; wearing it would greatly enhance her strength.
"Haha, that would be too unfair to you, let's fight like this!" Tian Muyan smiled and took out a bow and arrow from her spatial ring. The bow and arrow looked ancient and exquisite, obviously her usual weapon, but it was not her Ice Divine Bow.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, I won't hold back." Tian Uguisu gripped her spear tightly, a cold glint in her eyes. She knew Tian Muyan was strong, but after years of training with Madara Uchiha, she was confident that defeating Tian Muyan would be easy.
"Come on, let me see your strength!" Tian Muyan raised her hand and shot an arrow at Tian Uguisu. The arrow was extremely fast and carried a sharp momentum, indicating that the battle was about to begin.
