Chapter 235: Dual Blades: The Successor of the Flounder (Part )

"Where are Chief Senren and Chief Naoki?" Qingsi asked Jian.

"They are waiting in my office! I'll call them over now!" Jian explained, and then left in an instant.

According to common sense, Chiba and Fujiwara Naoki, who do not have ANBU identities, should not be allowed to enter the ANBU headquarters base. The ANBU is a special force directly under the Mizukage, and its existence must maintain a certain degree of concealment.

However, as the Mizukage, Kiyoshi doesn't really care about this. His overwhelming strength is his greatest confidence, so it doesn't matter to him.

What's more, Fujiwara Naoki is the current patriarch of the Meitun Fujiwara clan, and Chiba Chiba, as Chiba Chiba's older brother, also successfully took over the position of patriarch of the Chiba clan not long ago.

As the patriarchs of the Kizuna clan and the Fujiwara clan, both of them can be considered high-ranking officials in the Hidden Mist Village.

If the current Kirigakure Village has problems even with its top leaders who betray the village, then I'm afraid this Kirigakure Village is no longer worth keeping.

After a while, Jian came back, followed by Chiba Chiba and Fujiwara Naoki.

"Lord Mizukage!" Fujiwara Naoki bowed respectfully to Kiyoshi. Before Kiyoshi could speak, he spoke out his thoughts, "I want to withdraw from the competition for the ninja sword this time......!"

Chiba Chiba's heart moved, and the rest of the people present were shocked when they heard what Fujiwara Naoki said. The game hasn't even started yet, and they're just giving up?

They didn’t quite understand it, but they were shocked!!!

You know, that was the ninja sword used by the Fourth Mizukage! Although it no longer has the political significance it once had, it is undeniable that the double swords, the flaming ...

Kiyoshi vaguely guessed what Fujiwara Naoki was thinking. Compared to Chiba, Fujiwara Naoki was already an elderly ninja. At the age of 38, he obviously didn't have such a thirst for strength. He participated in the battle for the ninja swords before only because the Third Mizukage Bing gave the double swords, Aoi, special political significance.

On the surface, that battle was for the right to use the twin swords, the flaming flamingos, but in reality, it was a fight for an opportunity to become the captain of the Shadow Guards and a candidate for the Fourth Mizukage!

And now, for Fujiwara Naoki, becoming the holder of the double swords, Tail, can at most enhance his strength to a certain extent. Moreover, compared with the younger Chijin Kizuna, it is difficult for him to have any room for improvement in strength. Therefore, it is no wonder that he would give up on his own initiative. By the way, he can also do good things for Chijin Kizuna, the new patriarch of the Kizuna clan.

These thoughts flashed through Qingsi's mind, but he still wanted to ask Fujiwara Naoki again.

"Chief Naoki!" Qingsi asked calmly, "Are you sure you want to give up?"

"Yes! Lord Mizukage!" Fujiwara Naoki answered without any hesitation, and it seemed that he had made the decision long ago. "Chief Senren is an excellent ninja, and he is still very young. He is more suitable to be a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen than me!"

"Soga, I understand!" Qingsi nodded after hearing this. It was exactly as he thought. Without the symbolic meaning hidden behind it, the double swords, Flounder, had no appeal to Fujiwara Naoki. "Then, Chief Naoki, you should go back first and remember to attend tomorrow's meeting on time! Jian, send Chief Naoki off!"

"Yes! Lord Mizukage!" Fujiwara Naoki responded respectfully, then left with the sword.

Qingsi turned his gaze to Kizuna Chiba, opened his pure eyes, took out the double swords, Taiba, from the space in Takamagahara and handed them to him, "Chief Chiba, although Chief Naoki has voluntarily given up the fight, it still depends on whether you can control the double swords, Taiba well...!"

Qingsi stared at Chiren Kizuna steadily, and through Chiren Kizuna's eyes, his gaze penetrated straight into his heart, seeing through him thoroughly.

Chijin Kizuna nodded slightly solemnly. As the new patriarch of the Kizuna clan, he must seize this opportunity. His strength has been stuck at the elite jonin for a long time. Even with all the knowledge about chakra analysis and application brought back from the moon, with his talent, it would be difficult for him to have the strength of a Kage.

Although Chino Kizuna is now the secretary of the Fourth Mizukage Seiji and the sister recognized by the Fourth Mizukage Seiji, and is already in a high position of power, the Hidden Mist Village is ultimately a village that respects the strong and has a martial spirit.

Having status but no strength is totally unacceptable to the Hozuki clan, who once produced a Mizukage and was once glorious.

The Snow Clan, which founded the village together with them, has the Third Mizukage Bing, a Kage-level powerful warrior, while their Kizuna Clan, the strongest person at the moment is just this elite jonin.

"Chief Senren, I'll give you half a day to get familiar with the ninja swords and your teammates, and I'll test you in the afternoon!" Qingsi thought for a moment and made arrangements, "Yakura stays and spar with the seven of them! Except for the complete transformation into a tailed beast, you can use all other methods! The same goes for the others, you can't use forbidden moves, the rest doesn't matter!"

"Yes! Mizukage-sama!" Everyone responded in unison, but a different voice was mixed in, "Okay! Seiji-nii!"

This is Yagura's answer!

Chino Kizuna's face darkened instantly, and she slapped Yagura on the back of his head with a loving slap, "Yagura, what's wrong with you! What Seiji-kun! How many times have I told you! Call your position when you're working! Maintain respect for the Mizukage! You've become the Mizukage's assistant, why are you still so troublesome!"

Yagura was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he secretly groaned in his heart. It seemed that he would be scolded by his sister again when he returned!

At the same time, he quickly corrected himself and said, "I understand, Mizukage-sama!"

Seeing how fierce her sister was, Chino Kiss got a few drops of cold sweat on her forehead. The other six people also had somewhat unnatural expressions, and their hearts were beating fast. After all, Chino Kiss was the deputy of the first team of the Anbu, and she was their old boss.

Qingsi smiled helplessly, but he knew in his heart that by doing this his sister was actually helping him establish the rules and authority of the Fourth Mizukage.
