Inuzuka Kiba looked at the suddenly violent and introverted boy in front of him with a face full of indignation. In the simple conflict just now, he did not have the upper hand. Even Uzumaki Naruto, who didn't understand the situation and came to mediate, couldn't suppress this plain-looking boy. Although he was two or three years older than himself and Naruto, it was still very depressing for the proud Konoha ninja to lose to an unknown guy. Inuzuka Kiba was also confused by the sudden change in the opponent's attitude.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you attacking out of the blue?"

Inuzuka Kiba had little patience for this kind of guy who would attack at the slightest disagreement, but the opponent seemed very strong, so proper communication was still necessary.

Chojuro, who was confronting Inuzuka Kiba, said angrily: "The Hidden Mist Village is not the dispensable weaklings you say. Our Mizukage is not as weak as you say. What's wrong with the female Mizukage? Isn't the Hokage of Konoha Village also a female ninja?"

"Just for this matter, you just acted without caring about the consequences?" Inuzuka Kiba asked in surprise.

Arriving in the Land of Water, everyone saw the state of the Hidden Mist Village. Even though Konoha was in a bad state recently, it was not comparable to the Hidden Mist Village, which was in need of reconstruction. In the conversations between companions, the contempt that could not help but flow out of their words was, in Chojuro's eyes, a humiliation to the Hidden Mist Village, especially to the respected Mizukage Mei Terumi.

As a weak person, the pressure he feels is difficult for others to understand, and when this repressed emotion erupts, it is particularly violent. The strong self-esteem brought about by inferiority complex made the weak Chojuro unable to hold back, and he took action unconsciously.

On the Konoha side, except for Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto who had just fought, everyone looked at Chojuro with embarrassment. They didn't expect that a few unintentional words would become the fuse of the conflict.

"Let the guests from Konoha feel the strength of our Hidden Mist Village, shall we?"

As he spoke, Chojuro swung his double swords again and attacked Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto. Konoha was also in a dilemma. Even though Chojuro was older than them, he was not much bigger. With Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto together, it was fair for two to fight one. But if more people joined the group battle, it would not be appropriate. After all, this was the Hidden Mist Village. The group of Konoha ninjas were just guests from afar. It was not justifiable for them to bully the few with their numbers in the Hidden Mist Village.

Unfortunately, things turned out to be beyond the expectations of the Konoha Genin. The styles of Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto were too difficult to deal with an agile swordsman like Chojuro unless it was a life-and-death duel.

Without powerful illusions and large-scale ninjutsu attacks, the fighting styles of Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto were completely suppressed. The difficulty of sparring with sword masters in physical skills was well experienced when Mizuki and Hozuki Kizuki fought in the Land of Waves. When you can't suppress the performance of sword masters, relying solely on physical skills, to a certain extent, the advantage of numbers is not of much use. With superb swordsmanship, facing Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto who attack more by instinct, Chojuro is obviously at ease.

Not far away, Jiraiya, Hatake Kakashi, and Mizuki heard the noise and rushed over. They saw that there was no danger, only the impulsive Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto had a conflict with the Mist Ninja. The three of them were relieved, so they hid aside secretly and watched the development of the situation.

"That Mist Ninja boy is quite powerful."

Hatake Kakashi watched Chojuro's performance with admiration.

"Konoha ninjas are really not at an advantage against swordsmen masters," commented Mizuki, who hated all swordsmen masters.

Jiraiya corrected him, "It should be said that everyone hates swordsmen masters. When such guys cannot be restrained, they are simply meat grinders on the battlefield, unless they are dealt with by large-scale ninjutsu, leaving them with no escape."

Jiraiya seemed to recall something from the past and said, "The last time I felt this way was when I was dealing with Hanzo the Salamander, even though Hanzo was not yet a pure swordsman."

"Hanzo, the 'demigod' of the Hidden Rain Village?"

This guy, who was probably the ultimate ninja outside of the five major ninja villages, dealt the fledgling Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade their first and biggest defeat in history, and then gave them the title of "Three Ninjas". If Nagato had not summoned the Outer Path Demon Statue through spiritualism, and directly crushed the nearly invincible "demigod" with his unparalleled power, even the Rinnegan might have fallen into his hands.

"That's Hanzo." Jiraiya did not hide the fact of his previous defeat. "Since Hatake Sakumo's death, Konoha has not been able to produce any decent swordsmanship experts. Konoha ninjas are really unfamiliar with this kind of guy."

Seriously speaking, Hatake Sakumo is not just a master of swordsmanship. His style is more inclined towards the assassination technique which is very rare in Konoha, especially for the vulnerable entities and puppeteers and illusion ninjas. Unfortunately, one of the main combat forces of the Sand Village - the puppeteer - was restrained by him, which directly contributed to Hatake Sakumo's fame.

As for the current swordsmanship master of Konoha, Gekko Gale can barely be considered a gifted person, but unfortunately, before he could show his prowess, he was seriously injured.

Speaking of Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship, it is really sad that his son Hatake Kakashi did not follow the same path.

After watching for a while, Hatake Kakashi, who had a good understanding of the situation, suggested: "Should we stop it? It's almost done, right?"

Mizuki nodded in agreement: "Although the Hidden Mist Village is in a slump, the foundation of the five major ninja villages is still there. Just look at this young man and you will know that the foundation for standing tall in the ninja world is still there. As long as they can overcome the difficulties, they will still have a place in the ninja world."

Chojuro, who has not yet inherited the Aoi's power, is nearly three years older than Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto. He can fight one against two and have a slight advantage with swordsmanship alone, which is already very good.

When the situation was still extremely tense, someone took the initiative to stop the fight from escalating further.

"Chojuro, stop." Qing, who had been observing in the dark for a while, appeared at an opportune moment.

Seeing this, Mizuki and Kakashi also appeared and stopped the impulsive Uzumaki Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba.

"Mizuki-sensei?"

Seeing that it was Mizuki who was holding his shoulders, Inuzuka Kiba had no choice but to stop.

But Naruto was not so honest. Even with Kakashi holding his arm, Naruto still refused to give up.
