Chapter 261

Even if one takes a step back, even if there are one or two excellent young-generation ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village.

Bee also believes that he will never lose; this is Bee's confidence in himself as a "martial artist."

But who would have thought that he had truly underestimated the Hidden Mist.

The Hidden Mist is full of monsters!

Whether a ninja village is strong or not, the first and most important thing is whether the strength of the leading figure is strong enough, secondly, whether other high-end combat power is sufficient, and finally, whether the number of Jonin as the backbone has reached a scale?

If all three conditions are at the peak of the ninja world, it can be called the hegemon of the ninja world.

Especially in terms of leading figures and high-end combat power, one can glimpse the foundation and even the combat power of a ninja village.

What's more, an important point for a ninja village is that any powerhouse has "timeliness."

No matter how strong a ninja is (except for those with cheats), once they approach middle age, their physical fitness will decline rapidly, thereby causing the ninja's combat power to drop in a straight line.

Therefore, the earlier a ninja shows strength in their youth, the more they will be valued.

Because the earlier the talent is realized, the longer the "peak period" of this ninja will be, and the greater the value to the village will be.

The ninja world is vast; being able to become a Jonin is already walking ahead of ninety percent of ninjas.

And ninjas who can reach the "Kage" level are all existences that can be called heroes of the current age in the ninja world.

Even if it is only the lowest level of "Kage"—"quasi-Kage." Ninjas of this level are rare existences even within the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Even sometimes in the Five Great Ninja Villages that are in decline, quasi-Kage-level powerhouses are enough to inherit the title of "Kage" (such as Gaara).

If Bee only felt that the Hidden Mist had a good foundation when he saw Yuki Mitsuhiko and the other three who were under eighteen years old.

Then now that he saw Hozuki Mangetsu and the others blocking his way, Bee's heart was trembling.

Three young ninjas with "Kage" level, what is wrong with this world?

Bee kept asking himself in his heart, but in the end, he couldn't get an answer no matter what.

For some reason, a sentence suddenly appeared in Bee's heart: With these three alone, the Hidden Mist can be guaranteed to be safe for thirty years!

Looking at the appearance of the three, they were still young to an outrageous degree; these three were still in their youth at this time, and it could be expected that the strength of the three would get further growth in the future.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

"These three are already so strong, then how terrifying would the Fourth Mizukage be, who can rule the Hidden Mist and surpass the three to inherit the title of 'Mizukage'?"

Bee dared not continue to think in this direction, because he was afraid it would completely destroy his confidence.

And this was just the young generation of ninjas; how many powerhouses would the Hidden Mist's middle-aged ninjas and old-generation ninjas have?

"The strength of the Hidden Mist! Must not be easily made an enemy of!"

I don't know when, such a thought was planted in Bee's heart.

In fact, this was also because Bee was a bit scared by the current formation.

Bee didn't know that the leading figures of the Hidden Mist's old generation and the leading figures of the middle-aged generation had already fallen.

The leading figures of the Hidden Mist's old generation—the Third Mizukage and Kaguya Ichiro and other powerhouses had already died in the rebellion.

The leading figure of the middle-aged generation—Yagura Karatachi also died in the rebellion together, and others such as Kurosuki Raiga and other old-generation Seven Ninja Swordsmen were still lacking in strength, and facing a Kage-level powerhouse alone would probably be somewhat inadequate.

So currently, the combat power of the Hidden Mist was mainly the young-generation ninjas cultivated after Ryosuke took office.

The appearance of Hozuki Mangetsu and the other three represented the failure of Bee's plan.

Looking at these "monsters" of the Hidden Mist before him, Bee was now in an awkward situation.

This was like he originally aimed at the Fourth Mizukage, preparing to smash a heavy punch on the other party's face.

As a result, after making a move, he found that the Fourth Mizukage was followed by three bodyguards.

Now it can only be said that Bee chose to act cool (13), and he had to finish it even if he cried.

Mizukage's office, through the Mirror of Clarity, Mizunuki Ryosuke clearly saw the cold sweat on Bee's forehead, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

Up to this point, his goal had been achieved.

As long as the impression that the Hidden Mist is strong enough is left in the heart of this future Fourth Raikage, then he will naturally not dare to easily tear up the alliance and change the relationship with the Hidden Mist in the future.

However, this was not enough; next, he still needed to severely frustrate his spirit.

"Don't let me down, Zabuza."

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at the thin mist gradually rising in the Mirror of Clarity, a hint of expectation appearing in his eyes.

Hidden Mist training ground.

Bee looked at the three before him in battle formation, and the two sides confronted each other for a long time, neither speaking first.

As time passed, the pressure in Bee's heart became greater and greater; he knew that if this continued, it would affect his mentality and fighting spirit, so Bee simply took the initiative to speak.

"Three, who will come to fight me?"

Saying this, blue-purple electric current erupted from Bee's body again, and the terrifying electric current made a "crackle" sound in the air.

These characteristics all indicated that Bee had already turned on full mode.

Looking at Bee, whose whole body was flashing with electric light, Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta shrugged their shoulders together; if it weren't for Mizunuki Ryosuke's order, they would also very much like to go up and play with this Cloud ninja.

Unfortunately...

Mizunuki Ryosuke's order was very clear; they were all just here to "support the scene."

The protagonist of today was someone else.

Seeing this, Bee's expression became even heavier.

It's not these two, could it be the white-haired man on the other side?

Bee shifted his gaze to Hozuki Mangetsu, who was handsome to the point of being somewhat feminine, his eyes full of vigilance.

Regarding this, Hozuki Mangetsu remained unmoved, and had no intention of making a move at all.

While speaking, a wisp of thin mist suddenly covered the entire training ground.

"Oh? That kid is here."

Kisame turned his face and glanced at his side, saying faintly.

Regarding this, Kaguya Yuta just noncommittally, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes as well.

The frequently appearing thin mist was the norm in the Land of Water, and the Hidden Mist Village was named because of this, so everyone didn't feel surprised because of this.

But masters whose strength reached a certain level all sensed a hint of abnormality (Zhao Wang's) from this layer of thin mist.

Bee looked at the thin mist that suddenly appeared in the air, and the electric light constantly emanating from his body became more and more intense; he smelled an extremely cold chakra in this wisp of thin mist.
