This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

At this moment, two figures jumped out from the crowd and came in front of Bi with almost the same movements as Mitsuhiko.

Mitsuhiko glanced over and found two familiar faces.

"Ming, you want to snatch it from me?"

Mizunoe Mitsuhiko asked his old teammate with a blank expression. It was obvious that he was very annoyed at the moment.

Chapter 256, Whose turn is it?

The ones who stepped forward together with Mitsuhiko Mizunoe were Mei Terumi and Ayuri Ringo who had arrived earlier.

Mitsuhiko Mizunoe chose to speak first to the familiar Mei Terumi, and seemed determined to fight with her.

"We can't let the Mizunoe clan take all the blame."

"This time, it's our turn."

"Don't you think so, Yuri-chan?"

Mei Terumi said this without giving in, and then shifted her gaze to the nearby Bee, with the murderous intent in her eyes not concealed at all.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Ringo Ayuri quickly agreed with what Mei Terumi said.

Not only Mei Terumi, but Ringo Ayuri's eyes when she glanced at Bee were also filled with fighting spirit and murderous intent.

In response to this, several big "" characters appeared on Mitsuhiko Mizunoe's forehead.

At that moment, Mitsuhiko started arguing with Mei Terumi directly and without any courtesy, which was almost the same as his previous situation when they were teammates "Seven-Five-Seven".

In response, the other ninjas watching looked at each other, and none of them had any intention of stepping forward to stop it.

Whether in terms of strength, identity or status, these three are far beyond the reach of ordinary Jonin.

One is the disciple of the Fourth Mizukage and the current patriarch of the Mizunoe clan.

One is an old subordinate of the Fourth Mizukage, and is a talent that the Fourth Mizukage now values ​​and cultivates.

Another one is a disciple of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, a genius ninja within Kumogakure.

The other Mist Ninjas will have no objection to these three fighting in this round.

On the opposite side of the three, Bi was staring at the three ninjas who looked a little too young in front of him, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

He could feel that the strength of these three people was probably higher than that of the previous Mizunoe Shinichi. Although he had enough confidence to deal with these three people, he was afraid that it would take some effort.

But none of this matters. What matters is the ages of the three people.

These three people are really too young!

Being young means that the three of them still have unlimited potential for growth!

It can be seen with the naked eye that the age of these three people is no more than 20 years old. With such strength at their current age, it is impossible to predict what kind of future they will have.

It is almost certain that as long as they don't die in the future, they will all become the pillars of the village.

Although Bi was also young at this time, he was already 26 years old and was obviously a generation older than the three people in front of him. Fighting against the ninjas at this stage was undoubtedly "bullying the weak with the strong".

"Is this the essence of Kirigakure?"

Bi sighed softly in his heart, once again feeling the unfathomable depth of Kirigakure.

It looks like his next opponent will be one of these three people.

Bi mentally braced himself and observed the characteristics of the three people to facilitate the next battle.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, the crowd dispersed tacitly, making way for a passage.

A dozen masked Kirigakure Anbu ninjas suddenly appeared around the training ground and surrounded it.

A thin and handsome figure slowly walked from the passage made by the crowd to the edge of the training ground.

Looking at this handsome and somewhat feminine face, a trace of awe flashed in the eyes of the people around.

"Brother Man Yue."

"Minister Ghost Light" X2

Whether it was Mitsuhiko Mizunoe, Mei Terumi, or Ayuri Ringo, they all greeted the newcomer respectfully.

This person is none other than the current head of the Anbu of Kirigakure, the close friend and important subordinate of the Fourth Mizukage Mizunoe Ryosuke - Mangetsu Hozuki!

Behind Man Yue Gui Deng, there were three figures carrying long swords of various colors.

It was none other than three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Hidden Ninja Swordsmen - Tousou Yabaito, Muri Shinpachi, and Kitano Kusanagi.

In the entire Kirigakure, Mangetsu Hozuki is one of the few people who can be treated as an equal to Ryosuke Mizunoe.

Seeing this, Man Yue just nodded, then stood aside, glanced coldly at the competition in the field, then closed his eyes and said nothing.

Just this one glance made him tense up all over as if facing a powerful enemy.

Master! This is definitely a master!

It’s better than raising your alert level to the maximum in your mind.

He knew that after some provocation, he had finally provoked the master of Kirigakure!

Facing Kitano Mangetsu, Bi felt extremely solemn, because he found that the other party just standing there made him feel very dangerous.

Since the Mizukage assessment two thousand years ago, the Anbu leader Mangetsu Hozuki has rarely taken action. Perhaps only Mizunoe Ryosuke knows how strong Mangetsu Hozuki is now.

Bi knew that if Gui Deng Man Yue really took action, he would probably be in big trouble today.

Before he could prepare himself mentally for the battle with Mangetsu Kizuki.

There was another commotion among the crowd, and two roads were opened again.

Two men walked forward separately, one of them had no eyebrows and was burly, exuding a domineering and cruel aura from his whole body.

The other was tall and thin, with scars on his face like shark gills, and he carried a large knife wrapped in white bandages on his back.

The two men did not hide their feelings. The moment they saw Bi, two completely different murderous auras enveloped Bi.

In a trance, Bi seemed to see the bloody great white shark in the ocean and the violent demon ape in the mountains walking towards him.

Bi clenched his fists tightly together. Although the pressure brought to him by these two people was not as great as that of Mangetsu Kizuki who appeared earlier, they still exuded a pressure that made him feel threatened.

Seeing this, Bi's eyes were already solemn.

Masters of this level are rare even within Yunyin.

Apart from the "AB combination" of Yunyin, that is, himself and his father, Bi couldn't think of anyone in Yunyin who could compete with these people in front of him.

You know, to this day, the most mysterious Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure has not yet appeared.

Even so, Kirigakure's high-end combat power is already shockingly huge.

Whether it was the current strength or the foundation, Kirigakure's strength made Bi feel nervous.

"Who is it? Who could it be?"

Bi was secretly wondering in his heart, who would be the next person to fight him?

At the same time, he also knew that he had really underestimated Kirigakure. Under such a powerful resistance, it was impossible for him to see the Fourth Mizukage.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now that the ratio has reached 2.2, there is no turning back.

"Minister An."

The two of them first greeted Gui Deng Man Yue separately.

In response, Mangetsu Kizuki slowly opened his eyes and nodded to the two of them.

As important officials under Ryosuke, they met each other quite often on a daily basis. Adding to the regular meetings during work hours, they were all acquaintances of each other.

"Brother Kisame, Brother Yuta."

Mizunoe Mitsuhiko followed closely behind and greeted the two of them very politely.

"Chief Mizunoe."

Since it was a formal occasion, both of them chose a more formal title.

Seeing the three people arrive, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe tactfully took Mei Terumi and Ringo Ayuri and stepped back a little.

Because they knew that going to war had nothing to do with them.

Chapter 257: Seemingly reckless, but actually a conspiracy!

After Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuuta greeted the people present, they stopped talking and just watched the competition with interest.

This look is not a "friendly" expression, it would not be an exaggeration to even call it "sinister".

The two of them looked at Bi as if they were looking at a prey waiting to be caught.

If you look closely, you can faintly see a hint of regret in the eyes of both of them.

Because at this moment the two of them were lamenting that it was such a good "prey", but it was not their turn to "eat" it.

But to Bi, who was "heavily surrounded" at this moment, everything seemed not so good.

They seemed to be in a better situation than the person in the middle of the field. The expressions on the faces of Samoyed and Troy who were watching the battle on the sidelines were like prisoners to be executed in the autumn, with a little shivering in fear.

"Compare"

Samoyed looked at Bi's back worriedly, her delicate body trembling slightly.

With Samoyed's intelligence, he naturally realized that he was in big trouble.

Bi looked at the three Mist 27 ninjas who were bringing him great pressure, and his expression was very ugly.

The appearance of these three people undoubtedly made Bi's mood fall to the bottom.

Challenging Kirigakure alone was a plan that was easier to plan and execute than one he could plan and execute on his own.

This may seem like a rash choice made out of unbearable pain, but in fact it is the result of careful consideration, and it can also be regarded as an unavoidable conspiracy!

In a sense, this was a "challenge" launched by Kumogakure to the top leaders of Kirigakure! And the people in power in Kirigakure had no choice but to accept this challenge and could not choose to avoid it.

At present, Kirigakure and Kumogakure have an alliance, and although Bi's behavior seems to be a "malicious provocation", if you look closely, it is just a "friendly interaction" between allies.

After all, ninja is a profession that represents violence, and the principle that the ninja world believes in is the survival of the fittest. As ninjas, it’s okay to talk about it as long as they learn from each other.

After all, what Yunyin is seeking is just a "competition".

As long as they stick to the one-on-one principle and don't hurt anyone's life, there's nothing to criticize about the Hidden Mist Village.

As for refusing to fight? That was naturally even more impossible. How could the mighty Kirigakure tolerate someone publicly provoking a fight in Kirigakure's headquarters? Where would Kirigakure put their face?

Not only that, Kirigakure will never resort to a "round-the-clock" strategy to wear down the opponent.

Firstly, there would be suspicion of unfair victory. Secondly, if Bi wins too much, it would not sound good even if it spread to the ninja world. Instead, it would become a stepping stone for Bi to become famous in the ninja world.

Just imagine, "The ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village actually defeated many Hidden Mist Villages in the Mist Shadow Village and achieved XX consecutive victories!"

Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to any ninja village that cares about its reputation.

So this was an undisguised "straight punch" to the top leaders of Kirigakure. The target he chose to attack was the current person in power among the top leaders of Kirigakure - the Fourth Mizukage!

The reason I say this is because there are other issues involved.

There is no doubt that Bi is extremely confident in his own strength, otherwise he would not have proposed such a challenge.

What matters more than confidence is not just one's own strength, the most important issue is one's age!

In the ninja world, there is an unwritten rule.

Ninjas in the ninja world are divided into three generations: old, middle-aged, and young.

That is, the young ninja who is just starting out, the middle-aged ninja who is already capable of great use, and the old ninja who has experienced many hardships.

An example is as follows:

In today's ninja world, the ninjas who were active in the First Ninja World War are undoubtedly the older generation of ninjas. For example, Konoha's current third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the third Raikage Ai are representatives of them.

Most of these ninjas have entered middle age, and their strength has begun to decline gradually, but most of them hold the power of various villages and are active in the ninja world as "people in power". Unless the moment is necessary, the older generation of ninjas generally seldom take action.

And these ninjas who rose to prominence during the peaceful years after the First Ninja World War are the "mature ninjas" of the ninja world today.

For example, ninjas such as Hanzo of the Salamander and Sakumo Hatake, these ninjas are at the peak of their strength and in their prime, and can be regarded as the "middle-aged generation" in the ninja world today.

After that, there are the young ninjas who have not yet made a name for themselves and are just starting out.

Most of the best among them are only known as "geniuses" within their own villages and have not yet become famous in the ninja world.
