280 million ryo is not a small amount for a ninja, but for a village or a country, this amount of money is simply insignificant.

To be honest, this ransom is even lower than the bounty, but in order to maintain stability between the two countries, it is still not easy to break. Mabui is quite shrewd to put the price during the war into the price during the peace period.

“Jounin Samui will have to stay in the Hidden Mist Village for the time being. After deducting the amount for Samui and the three stubborn elements, the total amount will be 100 million taels.” The shadow clone replied to Mabui according to the preparations made in advance.

He has no intention of returning Samui for the time being. The ransom of a mere 150 million taels is far less than the value of Samui becoming a mother.

Neither ninja qualifications nor chakra capacity can be bought with this little money.

“Deduct Samui’s share? Are you kidding me?!” As soon as Kobayakawa Kazuma finished his words, Raikage Ai smashed the recliner under him with a punch. Lightning flashed on his body and arms, and he looked down at the shadow clone.

As the real body, Kazuma Kobayakawa couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. The Raikage’s movements just now were too fast and the destructive power was also huge.

He actually didn’t catch the blow that broke the recliner.

Chapter 148 Relying on Strong Strength

Kobayakawa Kazuma subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, “Raikage Ai, isn’t he a master among taijutsu masters? As long as I can copy his movements with the Sharingan, then with a little practice, my taijutsu ability will be improved to a higher level. Even if I can’t keep up with the Raikage’s movements, I should still be very strong.”

The shadow clone saw the malicious smile of the original body and tacitly made an invitation, “How about it? Do you want to fight on this sea? If you win, I might consider handing over Samui. I vaguely remember seeing you fighting with Hoshigaki Kisame-senpai during the Chunin Exam. Until now, I still admire your strength.”

“That’s exactly what I meant! I’d like to teach you a lesson, you ignorant little brat.” Ai’s figure flashed, and the next moment, he appeared on the sea below the boat, walking towards the distance step by step.

Kazuma Kobayakawa released a smoke bomb, and while it was blocking the view, he created eight shadow clones at once, and they all rushed towards the sea together.

Today’s shadow clone has inherited 90% of Kazuma Kobayakawa’s original abilities. Although it cannot use killing moves like the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, it is not much different from the original in other aspects.

Letting these shadow clones test the abilities of the Raikage while he himself uses the copying ability of the Sharingan to improve his physical skills is really a two-birds-at-one idea.

In the blink of an eye, Kobayakawa Kazuma’s shadow clones fought with the Raikage on the sea. The eight shadow clones each displayed different abilities. Some shadow clones attacked with Rasengan, while others used Crystal Release.

Some shadow clones opened their Sharingan and tried to fight the Raikage directly using physical skills.

“Shadow clone? I never thought that the little brat back then has grown to this level.” After just a physical collision, the Raikage discovered that what Kobayakawa Kazuma used was not the famous water clone technique of Kirigakure, but the Shadow Clone Technique.

“Bang bang…”

The Raikage’s fist collided with the ninja sword, and with every collision, the Raikage’s expression became more solemn. The quality of these shadow clones was not right, and it seemed that they were too strong.

Logically speaking, it would be good enough for a cannon fodder like the shadow clone to copy half of the original body’s abilities. If this is the case, how strong would Kazuma Kobayakawa’s original body be?

I’m afraid that I, the Raikage, am no match for him.

“Leike!”

As a last resort, the Raikage roared, and his body was covered with a layer of blue armor with flashes of lightning on it.

With the help of Lei Kai, the speed of the Raikage suddenly increased to a higher level, and he almost disappeared in the battle.

Waves rose on the sea surface, and several huge crystals appeared on the sea surface one after another, and then fell into the sea, splashing huge water.

The power of the Rasengan was also demonstrated on the sea. The Rasengan that was dodged by the Raikage created several whirlpools of varying sizes on the water surface, like a natural disaster.

The real body, Kazuma Kobayakawa, was still standing on the cruise ship. He opened his Sharingan and copied the Raikage’s every move.

Seeing that Mabui was right beside him, Kazuma Kobayakawa put his arm on Mabui’s shoulders and held him in his arms.

“Ms. Mabui, have you ever thought about coming to Kirigakure to develop and become the secretary of our Mizukage? Our Mizukage is very good at taking care of people. No matter whether you understand the care or not, he will take care of you.” At this time, Kazuma Kobayakawa still maintained the state when he transformed into Masami Terumi. With the help of Masami Terumi’s body, he was a little unscrupulous.

“We are all women, please don’t do this, Miss Terumi!” Mabui pushed Kobayakawa Kazuma away with a gloomy face.

After activating the Raikage’s Nintaijutsu, the Raikage’s Ninjutsu was already able to crush the shadow clones, but it still took two minutes to eliminate these eight shadow clones that had 90% of the original’s abilities.

“Where is the real body?” After defeating the shadow clone, the Raikage was still vigilant of the surrounding sea. After fighting with the shadow clone for two minutes, he was no longer confident in his own strength.

Being able to achieve such a degree with just his shadow clone, the current Kazuma Kobayakawa must be a monster whose hard power is even greater than his own.

Seeing that the Raikage was still alert to his surroundings after winning, Kobayakawa Kazuma kissed Mabui on the face again. He canceled his transformation technique and used Flying Thunder God to return to the cabin.

It would be better to get away before the Raikage discovers the real situation, otherwise, who knows what that rough guy will do.

As the pillar of the Hidden Mist Village, you must not get angry with a stubborn guy.

Seeing that the woman next to him suddenly turned into a man, Ma Buyi’s face seemed to be coated with color and quickly turned red from bottom to top.

“Eh? Was the one who kissed me just now the Fifth Mizukage? Has he always been so frivolous towards women?” Ma Buyi spoke faster and expressed all his doubts in one breath.

The battle ended hastily, and the negotiations were finally reached through the exchange of intelligence ninjas.

Kobayakawa Kazuma received 100 million ryo, and he will release the Kumogakure ninjas who betrayed Samui. Although the money he received was not much, he thought it was enough. Just using the Sharingan to copy the Raikage’s movements was worth the trip.

At the same time, Kazuma Kobayakawa also confirmed the ability of the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage at this stage is indeed not someone that he can afford to provoke. That guy’s body is extremely strong, and with Raikage activated, it is difficult for either a ninja sword or a kunai to pierce his body.

What’s more, after Lei Kai was activated, this big and rough guy was not only physically strong, but also faster than himself.

Fortunately, this time he only used a shadow clone to test it. Even if the real body went down in person, he could only hold out for a few more minutes in the hands of the Raikage.

The sea was vast and the steamship hidden in the fog was sailing steadily on the sea.

Ma Buyi hid in the cabin alone, tearing flower petals in his hands, muttering while fortune-telling.

Although there were many good men in Kumogakure who confessed their love to her, this was the first time she had seen someone as bold as the Fifth Mizukage. What a strange man.

“The Fifth Mizukage took a liking to my secretarial talents?”

“The Fifth Mizukage has fallen in love with me?”

As the petals in her hand fell one by one, Ma Buyi’s heart became more and more confused. She divined several times in succession, but was still unwilling to believe the results.

“Enough! What on earth does this frivolous man want to do? Ah…” Ma Buyi held her head and roared, her hair completely messed up.

At the same time, Raikage Ai was sitting in the ship restaurant of the Hidden Cloud Village. He was recalling the details of the battle just now in his mind, and punched the tempered glass in front of him.

Suddenly, the tempered glass shattered into powder and fell at his feet.

“That Mizukage guy, relying on his great strength, didn’t take me seriously at all, and actually let his shadow clone tease me!”

After the battle, the Raikage already knew what happened based on the description of the secret technique Mabui.

It turned out that the real Kobayakawa Kazuma had never left the cruise ship. He had been watching the show. From the beginning, the only ones who went down to fight him were the eight shadow clones.

Chapter 149: A New Mist

After witnessing the power of the Raikage, Kazuma Kobayakawa returned to the village and began training in physical skills in order to make up for his own shortcomings in physical skills.

He began to imitate and practice the physical movements and chakra flow trajectories copied from the Raikage Ai.

Unknowingly, another month and a half had passed. During this month and a half, Kobayakawa Kazuma could clearly feel that his physical skills level was improving every day, far surpassing his previous self.

Kobayakawa Kazuma knew very well how much physical skills could improve a ninja, and he also knew that for truly powerful ninjas, their physical skills might not be their highlight, but at least they would not become a weakness.

Just like Uchiha Madara, even though the Impure World Reincarnation state is not his full strength, his fame is not earned by physical skills.

But in this state, he can still use physical skills to tease Might Guy who has opened seven gates. You know, Might Guy is the pinnacle of physical skills in the entire ninja world, and the Eight Gates is Might Guy’s ultimate trick.

Now, Kazuma Kobayakawa has an extremely large amount of chakra of 30 calories, which means that his physical skills can easily be improved to a level that ordinary jonin can’t even dream of.

Although the amount of chakra cannot be equated with a ninja’s strength, a large amount of chakra means that the physical strength and energy are sufficient, and the body can keep up with the load of high-speed movement.

If the training of ninjas is compared to the process of building a high-rise building, then the amount of chakra is the foundation of construction. The greater the amount of chakra a ninja has, the taller the building they can build, and the higher the upper limit of their strength.

Of course, when it comes to improving your strength, you can’t just think about it alone. If you always work in isolation, you won’t be able to accurately measure your own improvement, and it will be easy to reveal flaws in actual combat.

For this reason, Kazuma Kobayakawa would occasionally call some senior ninjas to accompany him in physical training in order to make up for his own shortcomings.

In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the thick fog and appears extremely gentle. There are still drops of dew that have just condensed on the leaves on the roadside, which look lush and green against the backdrop of green leaves.

The Ninja School in the Hidden Mist Village has already started its morning training. Nearly a hundred prospective ninjas are running across the playground with great enthusiasm, shouting loud slogans.

Chunin Higasumura Kazuki was leaning on a cane. He whistled and shouted in a gentle tone, “Only ten more laps to go!”

“Eh? Ten laps!” Suddenly, the little ghosts let out a wail that sounded like they had eaten shit.

Higashimura Kazuki looked at these children and couldn’t help but smile. After Kobayakawa Kazuma took office as Mizukage, he returned to this school and became a teacher again.

Now, with his broken leg, he obviously cannot survive as a qualified Chunin. Even if he serves as a teacher, he can only teach some theories and is not able to teach the practical part.

But even so, he is very happy to witness these children grow up day by day.

These children are the future of the Hidden Mist Village. Sooner or later, some of them will become Genin, then be promoted to Chunin or even Jonin, and contribute their own strength to the construction of the Hidden Mist Village.

These kids who graduated from the same batch here will have a deep bond. Having experienced many years together, they will definitely have a better tacit understanding than a temporary team. Such a team will also have a higher survival rate in the process of carrying out the mission.

Zabuza Momochi was hiding in the thick fog, his eyes silently watching everything in the ninja school, but what was reflected in his eyes were his own figures and those of his companions.

He was once a part of this place a long time ago. If it weren’t for Yagura’s ridiculous policies, how could he be alone?

Fortunately, everything has returned to normal now. Graduation from the Ninja School has become a normal assessment, and those who do not have the talent to become a ninja will simply be dismissed and sent home.

The ninjas who enrolled were no longer just taught the most basic Three Body Techniques, but would also be taught the Mist Hidden Technique and Water Prison Technique depending on their talents and performance.

“Umito, Aoi, did you see that? I have arrived at a new era. This is the future of the Hidden Mist Village…” Momochi Zabuza murmured to himself, “I will become a jonin as soon as possible, and move towards a better tomorrow with your expectations.”

In the thick fog, a figure walked slowly towards Zabuza Momochi with heavy steps. Kuroko Raiga carried Ranmaru, who had difficulty walking, on his back and appeared on the busiest street in the Hidden Mist Village.

“Don’t run around at this important time. If it weren’t for Ranmaru’s ability, I really wouldn’t be able to find you, Momochi Zabuza!” Kuroki Raiga sighed, and his eyes glanced at the ninja school, and he said with emotion: “Not bad, there are so many little guys who want to be ninjas, and the school is finally in good shape.”

“Let’s go, Senior Raiga, let’s go meet Kazuma Kobayakawa and have a physical training with him.” Seeing the appearance of Kuroho Raiga, Zabuza Momochi finally moved. He walked slowly towards the training ground.

Neither of them was talkative and spoke very little along the way.

“Come to think of it, why did that guy Kobayakawa Kazuma ask us to accompany him in physical training?” Zabuza Momochi suddenly asked as they approached the training ground.

“During the years when Yagura was in power and during the Third World War, Kirigakure lost too many talented people. Now, Kobayakawa Kazuma can no longer find an opponent in Kirigakure. Only you and I can still play with him.”

The corners of Kurochu Raiga’s mouth curled up slightly, and he warned: “Don’t be afraid of the battle later. Although Kobayakawa Kazuma is the Mizukage, his physical skills are not much higher than those of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. His strength lies in the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and the hugely destructive Crimson Lotus Rasengan.”

“Don’t worry.” Momochi Zabuza’s eyes were sharp, and he looked at Kuroko Raiga with full confidence, “I have been undergoing rigorous training these days. Compared to that guy who is obsessed with female ninjas all day long, I must have made great progress. Let’s work together and give that guy a surprise.”

“Very good, this is the momentum! Let’s teach Kobayakawa a lesson together.” Hei Chu Lei Ya nodded.

Soon, the two arrived at the training ground where Kazuma Kobayakawa usually trained.

As the sun rose, the fog also eased to a certain extent. After half a year, the three met again.

Kurocho Raiga handed Ranmaru over to the care of the intelligence ninja, and he used the space scroll to summon Raidao. Ya and held him in his hand.
