Chapter 260

After Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta finished greeting everyone present, they didn't say much more, just watching Bee in the field with interest.

This kind of look was not a "friendly" expression, and it could even be called "sinister" without being an exaggeration.

Both of them looked at Bee as if they were looking at prey waiting to be caught.

If one observed carefully, one could even faintly find a hint of regret hidden in the depths of their eyes.

Because at this moment, the two were lamenting that such a good "prey" could not be "bitten" by themselves.

And in the eyes of Bee, who was "heavily surrounded" at this moment, everything seemed not so beautiful.

Bee, the person involved in the field, seemed a bit better; the expressions on the faces of Samui and Troy, who were watching from the sidelines, were already like criminals waiting to be executed, fear mixed with a bit of shrinking.

"Bee..."

Samui looked at Bee's back with worry, her delicate body trembling slightly.

With Samui's intelligence, she naturally saw that Bee had already caused big trouble.

Bee scanned the three Mist ninjas (27) who brought him great pressure, his expression very ugly.

The appearance of these three undoubtedly caused Bee's mood to hit rock bottom.

Challenging the Hidden Mist with his own strength—this plan was planned and executed by Bee himself.

This seemed to be a reckless choice made by Bee under unbearable circumstances, but in fact, it was the result of Bee's careful consideration in his heart, and it could be considered a conspiracy that Bee could not avoid!

Even in a sense, this was a "challenge" initiated by Bee on behalf of the Cloud to the high-level of the Hidden Mist! And the power-holders of the Hidden Mist could only accept this challenge and had no choice but to avoid it.

Currently, the Hidden Mist and the Cloud have an alliance relationship, and although Bee's behavior looked like a kind of "malicious provocation," if one looked into it carefully, it was just a "friendly interaction" between allies.

After all, a ninja is a profession that represents violence, and the principle that the ninja world believes in is the law of the jungle; since ninjas are sparring with each other, it's nothing even if it's talked about to the end.

After all, the Cloud's Bee was only seeking a "contest."

As long as Bee insisted on the principle of one-on-one and did not take anyone's life, the Hidden Mist Village had nothing to pick on.

As for refusing to fight? This was naturally even more impossible; the dignified Hidden Mist, how could it tolerate someone provoking trouble in public at the Hidden Mist Village's main base? Where would this put the Hidden Mist's face?

Not only that, the Hidden Mist would never adopt a "wheel battle" to exhaust Bee.

For one, there was a suspicion of winning unfairly, and for another, if Bee won too much, it wouldn't sound good even if it spread to the ninja world, and instead, it would become a stepping stone for Bee to become famous in the ninja world.

Imagine, "The Cloud Village's ninja 'Bee' actually suppressed many Mist ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village and achieved XX consecutive victories!"

Such a result was absolutely unacceptable to any ninja village that wanted face.

So this was an unmasked "straight punch" from Bee to the high-level of the Hidden Mist; the target he chose to attack was the current power-holder of the Hidden Mist—the Fourth Mizukage!

The reason for saying this was because it also involved other problems.

Undoubtedly, Bee was extremely confident in his own strength, otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed such a challenge method.

Bee was confident not only in his own strength, but the most important thing was another problem—age!

In the ninja world, there is an unwritten rule.

Ninjas in the ninja world are divided into three generations: old, middle, and young.

That is, young ninjas who have just started, middle-aged ninjas who can already be used, and old ninjas who have experienced wind and rain.

Examples are as follows:

In the current ninja world, ninjas who were once active in the First Ninja World War are undoubtedly old-generation ninjas, such as the Leaf's current Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Third Raikage, A, etc., are all representatives.

These ninjas have mostly entered middle age, and their strength has begun to gradually decline, but most of them hold the power of various villages and are active in the ninja world as "power-holders"; unless it is a necessary moment, old-generation ninjas rarely make a move.

And those ninjas who rose in the peaceful years after the First Ninja World War are the "middle-aged ninjas" of the ninja world today.

Such as Hanzo of the Salamander, and Hatake Sakumo, etc.; these ninjas are at the peak of their strength, in their prime, and can be considered the "middle-aged generation" of the ninja world today.

After that, there are the young ninjas who have not yet made a name for themselves and have just started.

Most of the outstanding ones among them only have the title of "genius" within their own village and have not yet become famous in the ninja world.

The Sannin of the Leaf, the Cloud Village's "Bee," and ninjas like Hozuki Mangetsu all belong to this category.

As the saying goes, without accumulating small streams, there is no way to form a sea.

A ninja's strength also needs to be accumulated.

Most young ninjas, whether it is their own ninjutsu, experience, or mentality, have not yet been honed to their peak period.

Therefore, among young ninjas, there are very few whose strength can break through the "Kage" level.

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

And this is the most critical confidence for Bee to resolutely launch the challenge!

Bee's identity as a young ninja determined that after Bee launched the challenge, if the Hidden Mist wanted to preserve its face, it could only send young ninjas to respond.

If the Hidden Mist sent a middle-aged ninja to respond, even if they won, it would be said to be winning unfairly.

In the vast Hidden Mist, there are naturally as many young-generation ninjas as one wants.

But if the Hidden Mist sent a young-period ninja to respond, and they weren't at the Kage level, they naturally couldn't beat Bee, whose strength had already entered the Kage level category.

Now the problem comes: where are there so many young ninjas whose strength has reached the Kage level?

Ninjas whose strength enters the Kage level in their youth are undoubtedly the leading figures (760) in a ninja village.

Even more specifically, ninjas who can have Kage-level combat power in their youth are talents who can be cultivated as the next generation of "Kage"!

Before this, Bee had met the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist, Mizunuki Ryosuke, once.

This Fourth Mizukage only gave Bee one impression, and that was—young!

In Bee's view, since Mizunuki Ryosuke inherited the position of Mizukage at such a young age, he is undoubtedly the leading figure of the Hidden Mist's current young generation!

Combined with the situation of the Cloud, it is very likely that in the entire Hidden Mist's young generation, only Mizunuki Ryosuke has entered the "Kage" level.

Because Bee absolutely does not believe that the Hidden Mist has so many young people who can compete for the title of "Kage."

So, from the surface, Bee is secretly arrogant and provoking the entire Hidden Mist's ninjas.

But in fact, this is a conspiracy carefully prepared by Bee aimed at the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke!

Bee believes that although his strength may not be ranked in the ninja world, it is definitely one of the best among young ninjas.

Even if he overestimates Mizunuki Ryosuke's strength again, the other party's age is there, and he doesn't have any outstanding battle achievements in the ninja world.

Bee naturally has the confidence to fight Mizunuki Ryosuke!

Besides, regardless of victory or defeat, Bee has already achieved the condition of "meeting the Mizukage."
