"Teacher Kakashi, let me go. I want to teach this arrogant guy a lesson."

As he said this, he formed seals with his hands and was about to use the Shadow Clone Technique.

"My Rasengan can definitely defeat him."

In the previous battle, if Inuzuka Kiba was able to gain something, Uzumaki Naruto basically made no contribution. He lacked flexibility and attack methods, and could not hurt Chojuro at all. Uzumaki Naruto was very depressed by the dilemma of having strength but nowhere to use it.

However, before Uzumaki Naruto could make a move, a fist hit him hard on the head.

"You idiot, I taught you the Rasengan so that you can be competitive? Have you forgotten everything I said?"

Jiraiya, who couldn't stand it anymore, rudely stopped Uzumaki Naruto from persisting.

"Lecherous Sage? Is that you?" Naruto, who was screaming in pain, was surprised and delighted to see that it was Jiraiya, and said, "You are here. I couldn't even continue my training, and you disappeared without a word. I waited so hard."

The fight was forcibly stopped and the adults were present, as it was inappropriate for children to fight.

It was still that Jonin Ao. For open affairs, a person of weight and importance was needed to negotiate with Konoha, especially when Jiraiya was present. Being too negligent would be quite rude.

"The young man from the Hidden Mist Village was too impulsive. We apologize for offending our distinguished guest." Qing held Chojuro's lowered head with one hand so that others could not see his unwilling face.

"It's okay. Kids of this age are always hot-blooded. But it's inappropriate to start a fight over a disagreement. I hope it won't affect the friendly exchanges with your village." Jiraiya expressed his understanding magnanimously.

Qing quickly replied: "Of course not. Everyone in our village is looking forward to friendly exchanges with Konoha."

Talking to Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, was stressful even though Jiraiya did not express any dissatisfaction.

"Yeah." Jiraiya responded without comment and said nothing more.

Now that we have talked about the formalities, it's time for Kakashi Hatake to take care of the specific matters.

"Then, I hope nothing unexpected will happen during our meeting soon."

"Of course, this little thing will not affect the overall situation. The Mizukage-sama has been looking forward to meeting Konoha's talented people for a long time."

"That's good."

It wasn't a big deal in the first place, just a fight between a few Genin.

After Qing led Chojuro, who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, away, Shuimu said with a smile: "You lost the fight, are you unwilling to accept it?"

Patting Inuzuka Kiba's shoulder, Mizuki continued, "Is it uncomfortable to be suppressed by an ugly guy?"

"We didn't lose." Hearing Mizuki's teasing, Inuzuka Kiba said a little dissatisfiedly: "I haven't used my ultimate move yet."

"Yeah, me too. Once I use all my strength, I will definitely beat him to a pulp." Uzumaki Naruto on the side also shouted loudly.

"Mizuki, you seem to care a lot about that Chojuro." Ignoring the shouting of the two Genin, Kakashi suddenly asked Mizuki.

"I guess so." Shuimu nodded, "That kid is good, his swordsmanship is quite good, and the key is that he seems to have found his own path."

"You noticed that too?" Kakashi also said, "At this age, he is so good at controlling chakra and applying it in combat. He has great potential for future development."

"Is he that powerful?" Uzumaki Naruto asked in disbelief that Kakashi actually had high hopes for that guy whom he always disliked.

Jiraiya ruffled Uzumaki Naruto's hair lovingly and said, "That kind of swordsmanship that combines huge amounts of chakra without releasing it is obviously a very advanced technique. If it really exerts its power, you won't be able to withstand it with your current strength."

"You didn't try your best, so Chojuro didn't have any backup plan?" Shuimu added, "So, it's best to stop here. If you continue, you will get hurt and bleed..."

Inuzuka Kiba was okay, although he was a little impatient, he was still able to listen to the advice.

But Uzumaki Naruto...

"Is it that powerful? Why didn't I feel anything you said? Is that Chojuro really that powerful?"

"Idiot." The disdainful voice of Uchiha Sasuke, who had been standing by and watching without any chance to take action, came.

"Naruto-kun!" Hyuga Hinata couldn't bear to watch Uzumaki Naruto make a fool of himself.

Chojuro's condition was clearly visible to the Sharingan and the Byakugan. Haruno Sakura and Aburame Shino had good perception, but only the confused Uzumaki Naruto had extremely poor perception due to the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and he couldn't even distinguish a normal strength comparison.

"Alas!" Jiraiya sighed with a wry smile, "Naruto, you still have a long way to go in your training."

At least, the hidden danger of the Nine-Tails Chakra needs to be changed, otherwise it will greatly affect Naruto's growth. The missing ninja foundation will always take time to make up.

…

The sky of the Hidden Mist Village darkened earlier than in Konoha. In early autumn, when the weather gradually turned cooler, the ever-present fog gradually thickened in the evening, making the sight of the Hidden Mist Village even dimmer. The light from the bright street lamps on the roadside was scattered by the fog, presenting a hazy scene with a strange beauty. Following the seemingly empty street, under the guidance of the guide of the Hidden Mist Village, the people of Konoha came to a slightly old building.

At the door, the Jonin Ao and the Anbu captain "Sword" were still waiting.

"It's been a long time since Kirigakure has had a respectable guest visit us. Please forgive me if I'm being rude."

"It doesn't matter. We have already felt the enthusiasm of the Hidden Mist Village. We are all ninjas, and red tape is not our concern." In a formal occasion, the leader Jiraiya answered seriously.

"That's great." With that, the two Mist Ninjas led the Konoha Ninjas in.

After passing through a long corridor, we came to a very quiet place.

Shuimu looked at the reception room. It was quite large and could accommodate so many people without seeming crowded. However, the key point was that under his feet was an antique tatami mat with furnishings already laid out. The futons for people to sit on were all ready.

"It really is so ancient."

Currently, the popular formal meeting occasions generally use long tables for meetings or round tables for communication. This kind of sitting communication is rarely used, and may only be used in some private occasions.

"Haven't you guessed this situation long ago?" Kakashi smiled and followed Jiraiya to find a seat and sit down. Then Mizuki also led the Genin who had almost never experienced such an occasion to sit quietly, waiting for the arrival of the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi.
