Chapter 16: ...a duel between mortal enemies

Kaguya Yuta.

The well-deserved genius of the Kaguya clan!

Awakened bloodline at seven, became a ninja at eight, promoted to Jonin at sixteen!

Kaguya Yuta was even once touted as the "Hidden Mist's Number One Genius."

But in fact, Kaguya Yuta had long discovered the difference between himself and his clansmen who had strong limbs and simple minds.

This was a secret that Kaguya Yuta had always hidden.

On the surface, in order to fit in with his clansmen, Kaguya Yuta also pretended to be silly.

But in fact, Kaguya Yuta had other thoughts in his heart.

Any Kaguya clansman takes pride in having muscles comparable to rocks, and when they meet an enemy, they always go head-to-head.

Running away and using conspiracies would be seen as a shame by the clansmen.

Any matter that requires thinking for more than three minutes would be left behind by the Kaguya clansmen, choosing to "follow their feelings."

Such characteristics created extremely brave warriors.

But it also created the current situation of the Kaguya clan.

When all the clansmen were immersed in the past glory of their ancestors, only Yuta was worried about the future of the Kaguya clan.

Strength and pride will blind one's eyes, which is commonly known as becoming "inflated."

Facts have proved that it is not just the Uchiha who are blinded by pride, but also the Kaguya clan.

The strength of the Kaguya is beyond doubt, but facts have proved that no matter how strong a person is, they cannot resist the general trend.

The situation of the Kaguya in the Hidden Mist Village today can be said to be a reduced version of Konoha's Uchiha.

The embarrassing thing is that the strength of the Kaguya clan seems to be inferior to the Uchiha.

At present, the Hidden Mist is precarious, and anyone can see that change and crisis seem to be at the moment.

But this does not affect the pride and ambition of the Kaguya clan at all.

The Kaguya are the "Hidden Mist Number One"; at any time, the Kaguya clan thinks so internally.

Instead, they think that the position of "Mizukage" seems to be just something in the Kaguya's pocket.

Unconcealed ambition and arrogance not only made the Kaguya a thorn in the Mizukage's side and an object of disgust for other Hidden Mist ninjas, but also became a tool in the hands of ambitious people.

But even so, the Kaguya clan still doesn't know it, and is pushing itself into the fire pit step by step!

It's terrible!

Kaguya Yuta felt that as the only clear-headed person in his clan, he must stop all this from happening.

Originally, Kaguya Yuta also planned to adopt the method of "boiling a frog in warm water."

But as the "son of the clan head," Kaguya Yuta had already learned some secrets.

This made Kaguya Yuta know that there was no time left, and he must take action immediately.

And all of this will start from the ordinary "Jonin exam" before his eyes.

Thinking of this, Kaguya Yuta showed a self-satisfied smile.

And this smile was also regarded by the Kaguya clansmen as the confidence of "winning."

"Slap!"

Suddenly, Kaguya Yuta received a loud slap on the back of his neck.

The loud sound made everyone present look sideways.

Just as Kaguya Yuta was about to get angry, he turned his eyes and saw the wild old face of his father, the Kaguya clan head.

Such an action is considered a signature encouraging action of the Kaguya family.

"Work hard! Yuta!"

"Kill that pretty boy!"

Kaguya Ichiro's bold voice was not covered at all, spreading throughout the conference room.

Kaguya Yuta showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and then stood up and went forward.

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at the opponent in front of him who was extremely "fierce," and essence shot out of his eyes.

A strong and burly body, a fierce expression, and an oppressive aura!

Kaguya Yuta!

Once hailed as the Hidden Mist's number one genius!

The most ideal opponent in Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart!

In fact, for this "Jonin exam," Mizunuki Ryosuke had held a relatively repulsive idea from the beginning.

Because in Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart, now is definitely not the time to be promoted to Jonin.

Even if we don't talk about when Mizunuki Ryosuke has the confidence to fight Uchiha Madara before being promoted to Jonin, being promoted at this time is a bit too eye-catching.

Now...

Too dangerous!

However, how can he avoid this danger without offending people?

You must know that the Third Kage "meant well" to help Mizunuki Ryosuke get to the top, if he is easily defeated.

For one thing, it broke the Third Kage's face, and for another, it confirmed the name of "A Dou who cannot be helped," and it will be difficult to avoid being treated as a soft persimmon in the future.

This also does not fit Mizunuki Ryosuke's "moderate" route.

After thinking about it, there is only one way, and that is to hand in an answer sheet that makes everyone "satisfied."

Try to make the matchup a bit more "exciting."

Even if he loses, it is reasonable!
