This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

The three ninjas of Konoha, the "Hi" of the Hidden Cloud Village, and ninjas like Mangetsu Kizuki all fall into this category.

As the saying goes, no river or sea is formed without the accumulation of small streams.

A ninja's strength also needs to be accumulated.

Most young ninjas have not yet honed their ninjutsu, experience, or mentality to their peak.

Therefore, among young ninjas, very few have the strength to break through the level of "Kage".

Take Kumogakure for example, there is only one young ninja in this village who has broken through to the "Kage" level.

And this is the most crucial confidence to launch a challenge resolutely!

Bi's identity as a young ninja meant that after Bi launched the challenge, Kirigakure could only send the young ninja to fight in order to save its own face.

If Kirigakure sent a ninja in his prime to fight, even if he won, it would be said that the victory was unfair.

In such a vast Kirigakure, there are naturally as many young ninjas as there are.

But if Kirigakure sent young ninjas to fight, they would not be able to defeat those who were already at the Kage level because they were not yet at the Kage level.

Now the question is, where are there so many young ninjas whose strength has reached the level of Kage?

Ninjas who have reached the level of Kage in their youth are undoubtedly the leading figures of the 760 in a ninja village.

To be even more specific, a ninja who can possess the combat power of a Kage in his youth is a talent who can be trained as the next generation of "Kage"!

Before this, Bi had met Ryosuke Mizunoe, the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure.

The only impression this Fourth Mizukage gave Bee was that he was young!

In Bi's opinion, since Mizunoe Ryosuke inherited the position of Mizukage at such a young age, he is undoubtedly the leader of the contemporary young generation of Kirigakure!

Considering the situation in Kumogakure, it is very likely that among the entire young generation of Kirigakure, only Mizunoe Ryosuke has reached the level of "Shadow".

Because Bi would never believe that Kirigakure has such a young man who is capable of competing for the title of "Kage".

So, on the surface, it seems that Bee is secretly arrogant and provoking the entire Kirigakure ninja.

But in fact, this was an overt conspiracy carefully prepared to target the Fourth Mizukage Mizunoe Ryosuke!

Bi thinks that although his strength may not be ranked first in the ninja world, he is definitely one of the best among young ninjas.

Even if he overestimated Mizunoe Ryosuke's strength, the other party was old, and he had no outstanding record in the ninja world.

I am more confident than anyone else to fight against Mizunoe Ryosuke!

Besides, regardless of victory or defeat, the condition of "meeting the Mizukage" has already been fulfilled.

Chapter 258: More Like a Ghost than a Human

Even if we take a step back, even in the Hidden Mist Village, there are still one or two outstanding young ninjas.

Bi also believes that he will never lose, which shows his confidence in himself as a "warrior".

But who would have thought that he really underestimated Kirigakure.

Kirigakure is full of monsters!

The strength of a ninja village depends first and foremost on whether the leader is strong enough, then on whether other high-end combat forces are sufficient, and finally on whether the number of the mainstay jonin reaches a certain scale.

If all three conditions are at the top of the ninja world, then one can be called the overlord of the ninja world.

Especially in the leading figures and high-end combat forces, one can get a glimpse of the foundation and even combat power of a ninja village.

What's more, a very important point for the ninja village is that any strong person has "timeliness".

No matter how strong a ninja is (except those with cheats), once he approaches middle age, his physical fitness will decline rapidly, causing the ninja's combat effectiveness to plummet.

Therefore, the more ninjas who demonstrate strength in their youth, the more attention they will receive.

Because the sooner a ninja's talent is realized, the longer his "peak period" will be, and the greater his value to the village will be.

The ninja world is so vast that being able to become a jonin means you are already ahead of 90% of the ninjas.

Ninjas who can reach the "Kage" level are all outstanding people in the ninja world.

Even if it was only the lowest level of the "Kage" level - "Quasi-Kage". Ninjas of this level were rare in the five major ninja villages.

Sometimes, even in the five major ninja villages that are in decline, a strong person at the quasi-Kage level is enough to inherit the title of "Kage" (such as Gaara).

If I say that compared to the three people I saw before, including Mizunoe Mitsuhiko, whose age was not yet over 18 years old, I just felt that Kirigakure had a good foundation.

Now, when he saw Mangetsu Kizuki and the other three people blocking his way, his heart was trembling.

Three young ninjas at the "Kage" level, what is wrong with this world?

I kept asking myself this question, but in the end I couldn't get the answer.

For some reason, a sentence suddenly appeared in Bi's mind: Just these three people can keep Kirigakure safe for thirty years!

Looking at the appearance of the three people, they still look incredibly young. They are still in their youth at this stage, and it is foreseeable that their strength will further increase in the future.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

"These three are already so powerful, so how terrifying will the Fourth Mizukage be, who can command Kirigakure and surpass them to inherit the title of 'Mizukage'?"

Bi didn't dare to continue thinking in this direction because he was afraid that it would completely destroy his self-confidence.

And these are just the young generation of ninjas. How many strong ninjas of the middle-aged and older generation are there in Kirigakure?

"The Hidden Mist is so powerful! Don't make an enemy of them lightly!"

I don't know when this idea was planted in my mind.

In fact, this is more than being frightened by the current situation.

What is less known is that the leaders of the older and middle-aged generations of Kirigakure have long since passed away.

The leaders of the older generation of Kirigakure, such as the Third Mizukage and Kaguya Ichiro, had died in the rebellion.

The leader of the middle-aged generation, Yagura Karatachi, also died in the rebellion, while others from the older generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, such as Raiga Kurochu, were still lacking in strength and might not be able to face a Kage-level powerhouse alone.

Therefore, at present, the combat power of Kirigakure mainly consists of the young generation of ninjas trained after Ryosuke came to power.

The appearance of Mangetsu Kizuki and the other three people means that the plan has failed.

Looking at these "monsters" hidden in the fog in front of me, I am now in an awkward situation.

It was as if he had originally aimed at the Fourth Mizukage, ready to punch him hard in the face.

After the action, they found that the Fourth Mizukage was followed by three bodyguards.

Now I can only say that I have to pretend to be smarter than myself, even if I cry.

In the Mizukage's office, through the clear mirror, Mizunoe Ryosuke clearly saw the cold sweat on Bi's forehead, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

At this point, his goal has been achieved.

As long as the impression that Kirigakure is powerful enough is left in the mind of the future Fourth Raikage, he will naturally not dare to easily tear up the alliance and change the relationship with Kirigakure in the future.

But this is not enough, we need to severely dampen his enthusiasm.

"Don't let me down, Zabuza."

Mizunoe Ryosuke looked at the thin mist gradually rising in the mirror of clarity, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Kirigakure training ground.

Bi looked at the three people in front of him with full readiness. The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and neither of them spoke first.

As time went by, Bi felt more and more pressured. He knew that if he continued like this, it would affect his mentality and fighting spirit, so he simply took the initiative to speak.

"Three, who will fight me?"

As he spoke, blue-purple electric current burst out from his body again, and the terrifying electric current made a "crackling" sound in the air.

All these characteristics indicate that Bi has already entered the full-strength mode.

Looking at Bi, whose whole body was flashing with electric light, Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuuta shrugged their shoulders together. If it weren't for Mizunoe Ryosuke's order, they would also like to go up and play with this ninja from Kumogakure.

unfortunately

Mizunoe Ryosuke's orders were very clear, they were all just here to "show support".

Today's protagonist is someone else.

Seeing this, Bi's expression became more solemn.

If it’s not these two, could it be the white-haired man on the other side?

Bi shifted his gaze to the handsome and somewhat feminine Mangetsu, his eyes full of vigilance.

In response to this, Man Yue Kizuna remained indifferent and had no intention of taking any action.

As he was speaking, a thin mist suddenly covered the entire training ground.

"Oh? That kid is here."

Kisame turned his head and glanced to his side, saying lightly.

In response to this, Kaguya Yuuta just remained silent, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

The frequent appearance of mist is the norm in the Land of Water, and the Hidden Mist Village got its name from this, so no one is surprised by it.

However, masters who had reached a certain level of strength had sensed something strange (about King Zhao) from this layer of mist.

Looking at the mist that suddenly appeared in the air, the electric light emanating from his body became stronger and stronger. He smelled an extremely cold chakra in the mist.

Before Bi could prepare himself, the white mist suddenly moved without wind, and began to slowly condense in front of him, finally condensing into a thin shadow.

For some reason, the moment this mist shadow appeared, the temperature in the air couldn't help but drop a few degrees. At first glance, the figure that appeared here looked more like a "ghost" than a "human".

"Zabuza, not bad."

"This appearance is quite cool,"

Hoshigaki Kisame on the other side praised, and there was a bit more burning in his eyes as he looked at Zabuza.

He could feel that Zabuza's aura was much stronger now.

He had short black hair, and wore a forehead protector with the Mist Hidden Symbol engraved on it, slightly to the left of his forehead. His lower face and neck were wrapped in bandages, and he always looked like a demon with a cold and chilling aura.

Who else could it be the "demon man" Momochi Zabuza?

Chapter 259: The Ghost of Mist vs. the Tiger of Cloud

"Another monster from Kirigakure"

Looking at this hideous figure that looked more like a ghost than a human, Bi muttered to himself.

Bi also knew that the opponent he was about to face was the guy in front of him who was neither human nor ghost.

Finally, Bee's gaze rested on the weapon slung on Zabuza's back.

This is a very distinctive weapon. From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to Japan's traditional weapon "Jute".

The so-called Jutte is a "fork" weapon consisting of a handle and two blades, one short and one long. The short blade is usually like a "guard" in front of the long blade (the fork-like weapon in the hands of a ghost in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

But if you look closely, you will find that the ten hands on Zabuza's back are not sharpened, and both the short and long blades appear extremely smooth.

At first glance, it looks like an "electric baton".

"What is this?"

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Just after the contact, he felt that the opponent in front of him was like a puzzle, which made him confused.

In the previous Kirigakure, Zabuza's strength had always been firmly in the third tier, below Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuuta.

But in the past three months, after going through Mizunoe Ryo's 760-unit hellish training, Zabuza Momochi has completely completed his transformation!

The current Zabuza Momochi is no longer the same Zabuza Momochi as before.

"After I kill this brat, I will definitely have some fun with Brother Kisame!"

Zabuza Momochi turned around and spoke to Kisame behind him in a cold and ghostly tone.

Before this, Zabuza, who was also a member of the White Shark Corps, was often beaten badly by Hoshigaki Kisame in "sparring matches".

Now that his strength has improved, the first thing Zabuza thinks of is to get back at Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Ha ha"

"That's more like it, Zabuza."

There was a glimmer of heat in Kisame's eyes, and a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After interacting with Hoshigaki Kisame, Zabuza turned and looked at his opponent in front of him.
