Chojuro, who was proficient in swordsmanship, relied on pure strength to make Uchiha Sasuke's family's ninja tool manipulation technique fail. So far, the performance of the two was quite satisfactory, and neither of them had the upper hand in the initial test.

The exciting duel made the audience in the stands watch attentively. At least it was much more interesting than the previous boring battle.

"Sure enough, a little trick can't do anything to you!"

Sasuke, who had some estimation of Chojuro's strength, also knew that it was unlikely that he could win so easily, but it was not unacceptable that his moves were easily cracked.

"Next, I have to be serious..."

As soon as he finished speaking, silver sparks appeared all over Sasuke's body. With the sizzling sound of the arc, they entangled together, as if he was possessed by lightning. After he was ready, he once again showed his amazing speed, constantly testing Chojuro's defense, waiting for the moment when his weakness was exposed. His power was like a gust of lightning, even faster than before.

"The prototype of the Lightning Release Armor? What an unexpected direction of development!"

Everyone knows that different things lead to the same goal, but it is difficult to do this. With Mizuki's ability, he can't even stimulate cell activity with lightning chakra. I didn't expect Sasuke to develop in this direction.

The form changes of Lightning Release Chidori are actually quite rich in applications. It has powerful attack power and strong defensive capabilities. It is very practical in medium and short-range combat, and can be coordinated with other ninja tools or ninjutsu, making it a very versatile ninjutsu.

If he wanted to develop into the Lightning Release Armor, he would have to have a very advanced foundation in physical skills and rich combat experience. Originally, Sasuke would not have chosen this method.

However, he did not defect. Under the guidance of Mizuki and Hatake Kakashi, he began to focus on improving his own basics. The ability of Lightning Release to activate cells and its auxiliary role in close combat became the key points that Sasuke had to take into account.

"Lightning Release Ninjutsu? With the Sharingan, my speed and combat power in the future may not be inferior to the Raikage!"

These favored children of destiny can always find the path that suits them best for growth, even if the path deviates a little.

"What an enviable talent!"

Mizuki smacked his lips and looked at Sasuke who was stealing the show with some displeasure. His starting point was so high, he hadn't even mastered the Lightning Release Ninjutsu, but guys who were less than half his age could actually fight. Fate was really unfair!

Looking up in the direction of Uchiha Itachi, there didn't seem to be much movement. Mizuki felt relieved and turned his attention to the battlefield below again.

The flatfish brought Chojuro unparalleled destructive power and good growth potential, but the time left for him to adapt was too short.

The Flounder, which is made up of two symmetrical large swords, is used in a way that is quite different from the ordinary swords he had used before. At least its flexibility is much worse when facing Uchiha Sasuke.

Especially when Sasuke showed his extremely terrifying speed, the defense that was originally at ease slowly became stretched and could not be fully taken care of. Fortunately, with rich combat experience, he could barely maintain it, but it couldn't last too long. The pressure of using flounder was not small. If he was on the battlefield, he could replenish chakra by killing enemies to reduce consumption, but now it was impossible.

In this case, the powerful attack of the flatfish cannot hurt Uchiha Sasuke, so let's change the fighting style.

Having made up his mind, Chojuro raised the flounder with both hands, input chakra, and a dazzling white light gathered. A dense ball of light shot out in all directions. The large-scale attack left no gaps, forcing Sasuke to retreat and dodge.

When the smoke and dust kicked up by the beam attack cleared, a serious-looking Chojuro was revealed, holding half a piece of flounder in each hand.

"Dual sword style? You responded in time, you are indeed the future Sixth Mizukage!"

The flounder itself is a slightly bulky sword, with two blades combined, which is not only clumsy, but also extremely unfriendly to novices. It has the dual advantages of range attack and heavy attack, and is quite useful in the hands of fierce generals who need to charge into battle.

However, when fighting against a speed and skill-based ninja, there are many shortcomings that are difficult to make up for. If Sasuke uses Susanoo at this time, the flounder is not bad against such a large target, but it is a bit difficult to face Sasuke who uses lightning release.

So in this case, it would be better to dismantle the flounder, use dual swords, and take advantage of my superb swordsmanship. This is much more flexible than before.

Seeing his opponent change his tactics, Uchiha Sasuke frowned slightly and rushed towards Chojuro again, while leaning sideways to look for a flaw and throwing shurikens to try to disrupt Chojuro's center of gravity.

Unfortunately, this time, Chojuro waved his two swords with ease and blocked all attacks with ease without moving a step. He was much more elegant than before.

"That's the feeling. Last time in the Land of Water, I was suppressed by his superb swordsmanship and was unable to fight back!"

Being able to inherit the double swords of Aoi, Chojuro's double sword style must be good. Chojuro has regained the initiative and no longer passively defends against Sasuke who is close to him. Instead, he counterattacks from time to time to prevent Sasuke from attacking recklessly.

In this situation, the battle between the two sides once again reached a stalemate.

Tsunade watched the battle below getting better and better, and turned to Mei Terumi who was not far away and said: "The strength of your village's genin is really strong. Even Uchiha Sasuke can't gain the upper hand."

Mei Terumi smiled reservedly: "You are too kind. I can only hold on with the power of my weapons. Konoha is full of talented people. I envy them very much!"

Tsunade didn't say anything else, but accepted Mei Terumi's praise.

Mei Terumi didn't dwell on this topic, as the battle below changed again.

Unable to rely on speed and skill to win, Sasuke had to reveal more of his cards.

While moving at high speed, he quickly formed seals with his hands, accumulated chakra, took a deep breath, and then a huge ball of fire came out of his mouth.

"Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique!"

The expanding ball of fire advanced rapidly, forcing Chojuro to jump and dodge.

Unfortunately, the speed of Uchiha Sasuke's Fire Style was far beyond Chojuro's expectations.

"Fire Style - Phoenix Fire Technique!"

With nowhere to get support in the air, Chojuro could only swing his two swords to slash away the small fireballs that were about to hit him. The fireballs could be blocked, but the impact of the ninjutsu would not disappear. The continuous explosions made Chojuro lose his balance in the air and fell from the air in an indecent posture. Uchiha Sasuke, who was ready to attack below, was waiting for him...
