In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 235 The Third Kazekage's Choice
However, he still has a small amount of chakra left in his body, so if he wants to continue fighting, he still has the strength to fight.

The Third Kazekage is a veteran warrior with comprehensive abilities. He also has a certain perception ability at close range and can judge Shimizu's current condition. He feels a little more emotional in his heart.

Even if Shimizu doesn't make much progress in the future, just relying on the increase in chakra brought about by physical development and his current abilities, his combat effectiveness will most likely not be worse than his current self in ten years.

If he maintains his current rate of improvement, Shimizu will definitely have a chance to take the title of the strongest in the ninja world.

Even now, Qingshui's combat power is estimated to be superior to Luosha.

As Rasa's teacher, the Third Kazekage knew very well what Rasa's limits and upper limits were.

From the perspective of strength, although Luo Sha is still qualified to compete with Shimizu, he is already at a complete disadvantage.

In terms of ability...

Just don’t say it.

Now, Rasa's only advantage is that he is older and has accumulated more merits in the war, but as time goes by, Shimizu will only need one Ninja World War to make up for the gap and even surpass him.

The Third Kazekage felt a little complicated for a moment.

Luo Sha was the disciple he brought up personally, so he naturally had certain feelings for Luo Sha and hoped that Luo Sha could take over his mantle.

But he is also the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village.

He knew very well that if Rasa became the Fourth Kazekage, regardless of whether it would be a good thing for the Sand Village, at least he would definitely not be able to suppress Shimizu.

But if after a few years, the Third Kazekage believes that Shimizu has the ability to suppress Rasa, just like the Third Hokage of Konoha was able to suppress Danzo.

At least, the Third Kazekage is not the Third Hokage, and Shimizu is not White Fang.

The former is truly the strongest Kazekage of all time, while the latter does not have as obvious character and background flaws as White Fang, and he has the support of Chiyo, Ebizo and the entire puppet army behind him.

It's time to make a decision and pave the way for the child in front of you.

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, the Third Kazekage finally patted Qingshui's shoulder.

"You are already very capable, Shimizu. When you are free, you can come to me to take on more missions and interact with other jonin outside the puppet troop. It is very important for your future development."

The Third Kazekage spoke to Qing Shui earnestly.

"I understand, Third Generation-sama."

Qingshui nodded slightly.

At this time, Chiyo and others also gathered around.

"I never thought that your strength would improve so much in such a short time. It seems that I have really neglected my guidance for you."

Ebizo marveled as he watched the iron sand around him cool down and solidify again.

"Sister, is Hanzo's swordsmanship that strong? Can a notebook allow Shimizu's swordsmanship to reach this level?"

Ebizo was referring to the swordsmanship notebook that Hanzo had previously compensated Shimizu for.

"Why don't you just ask Qing Shui directly?"

Chiyo rolled her eyes at her younger brother, then looked at her beloved disciple with a kind face.

In her opinion, Shimizu's current swordsmanship is not much different from White Fang and Hanzo.

But that wasn't her concern.

What she was concerned about was the three puppets made by Shimizu. Their individual combat power was almost close to the average level of the Chikamatsu Ten People. If you asked Chiyo and Ebizo to make puppets themselves, they would need the corpse of a top-notch expert to make a top-notch human puppet.

But Qingshui didn't use any corpses.

Although it is also quite expensive and scarce, it is much easier to obtain than the corpses of top strong men.

"Ahem, Mr. Ebizo, my swordsmanship was developed by myself. Captain Chiara helped me lay a very good foundation in swordsmanship. Later, I also tried to develop my own swordsmanship. In the end, it complemented Hanzo's swordsmanship and added some essence absorbed from other ninjutsu. Only then did I create this sword skill that combines breathing."

Shimizu explained to Ebizo.

"No wonder your swordsmanship is different from the mainstream of the ninja world. I guess you must have figured out a lot of it yourself, right?"

At some point, Feng Shang Qianlan also appeared in the training ground, looking at Qingshui with complicated and gratified eyes.

Qingshui has now not only completely surpassed him in swordsmanship, but is also far ahead in terms of combat power.

"Sandaime, this should give you a headache."

Chiyo went to the Third Kazekage with a smile on her face, hinting at something.

"It's not a headache. The other ninja villages should be worried. I'm sure they will soon know that our Sand Village has gained another top fighter, and he is such a young genius!"

The Third Kazekage laughed heartily with a very open-minded look.

"Elder Chiyo, whether it's puppetry, swordsmanship, or escape, these are all things that can greatly enhance the foundation of the village. I can't even hold him up!"

"Oh? Sandaime's idea is..."

"I just told Shimizu to let him interact more with the jonins other than the puppet troops. I was wondering if I could let Shimizu open a ninja improvement class."

"Ninja improvement class?"

Chiyo was surprised.

"No one will doubt Qingshui's strength anymore. His swordsmanship, his puppetry, and his experience in developing bloodlines are all important heritage that will be passed down to the younger generations of the village."

"If he represents a brighter future for the village, then there are things he must do."

Chiyo smiled.

The words of the Third Kazekage also contained deep meaning.

Isn't this creating opportunities for Qingshui to come into contact with other people in the village and increase his prestige?

If other ninjas, under Shimizu's guidance, create stronger puppets and improve their swordsmanship and ninjutsu, will they vote for Shimizu when there is a vote of confidence for the jonin in the future?
To become a Kage, you don’t have to get the recognition of everyone in the village, but you must get the trust of most of the jonin in the village.

The jonin is the most important link between the top level and the middle and lower levels of the village. If you can make most of the jonin in the village willing to listen to you and do things, you can mobilize most of the village's power.

Not far away, Jialuo heard the conversation between the two and his heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to start.

Shimizu's puppetry is different from the traditional puppetry of the village, and his swordsmanship and bloodline limits are also unique, so Shimizu can add heritage to the village and provide more ways to cultivate talents.

And what about Luo Sha?

The magnetic technique was originally created by the Third Kazekage.

All ninjas with wind and earth attributes in the village will begin special selection and training when they become Genin. She and Rasa both stood out through this path.
