Everyone looked at Kazuki. They couldn't defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Even working together, they might not be able to fight one of them.
If they wanted to confront these people, Kazuki would have to do it, but could he do it alone?
It wasn't that they didn't trust Kazuki, but the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were very powerful.
They hadn't truly seen Kazuki in action, so they didn't know what would happen.
"Leave the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to me, but I'll arrange for each of you to fight one of them. For you, this is a test."
Kazuki crossed his arms, looking at the four with a playful expression.
"If you can truly fight one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, you'll be capable of dealing with most strong opponents."
"Hehe, leave it to us." Nawaki said, eager to try.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist? They seemed powerful, but they themselves were no longer weak ants.
Rinka and Mikoto had already reached the strength of a Special Jonin, or even a Jonin, and Nawaki was not far behind.
Minato also had the strength of a Chunin. The four of them also cooperated very well, so they might not be unable to fight an elite Jonin, even if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were the best among elite Jonin.
Rinka's eyes turned cold as she said, "I will prove to Kirigakure that my Byakugan is not to be trifled with."
Being targeted by Kirigakure was an absolute humiliation in Rinka's eyes. Did they really think she was easy to handle?
She clenched her fists. This time, she would prove to others that the main family was not necessarily weak. Strong individuals could emerge from it too.
"Then rest well and prepare. If you need to prepare Exploding Tags, prepare them yourselves."
Kazuki thought for a moment, then pulled out two iron kunai and threw them to Minato and Nawaki.
"Take these two kunai. They have my Flying Thunder God Mark on them. If you encounter danger, activate the Flying Thunder God Mark, and I'll arrive as quickly as possible."
"For us? Why not for Mikoto and Rinka?" Nawaki put away the iron kunai, then looked at Kazuki teasingly.
"We already have them, I found this iron for him." Rinka explained calmly.
"After all, activating the Flying Thunder God Mark requires some special materials, unless he just wants to leave a mark on you."
As she spoke, Rinka's expression became somewhat subtle. When she, Mikoto and Kushina went to the hot spring together, Kazuki had left Flying Thunder God Marks on both of their shoulders. This meant that as long as Kazuki wished, he could appear by their side at any time.
For Mikoto and Kushina, this was both a protection and a restriction. No matter where they went in the future, Kazuki would know their location and could instantly appear by their side.
This meant that if Kazuki wanted to do something to them, Mikoto and Kushina would be unable to resist.
Of course, what frustrated Rinka the most wasn't this, but why Mikoto and Kushina had them, but she didn't.
At times like this, whoever was missing it felt awkward.
Could it be that she was inferior to Mikoto and Kushina?
Rinka wasn't in love with Kazuki, but merely very close to him. They were teammates, and possibly close friends. At least, Kazuki was her only true male friend.
As for Nawaki and Minato, they weren't worthy yet. But she still had some gap compared to Mikoto and Kushina.
This made Rinka a little unwilling to admit defeat. Why could they have it, but she couldn't?
If this continued, her treatment from Kazuki would be the same as Nawaki and Minato.
"Is that so? As expected of chakra metal, it's much heavier than ordinary kunai." Nawaki played with the kunai for a bit, deliberately relaxing his mind.
"Mm."
Minato held the Flying Thunder God kunai, his eyes flickering.
Kazuki had previously said that he had a talent for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, and that he would teach him in the future, at which point his strength would experience a leap-like improvement.
However, if he had to use this type of kunai, it seemed his small personal savings wouldn't be enough to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.
It seemed he would have to work even harder on missions from now on.
In the future, Minato would transform into a mission expert, all to avoid going bankrupt from using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Of course, even if he didn't use kunai specially made with Chakra metal, there would be no problem at all.
Also, many people say that Hiruzen deducted Minato's property, but what if Konoha's houses were inherently very expensive?
Don't forget that in the future, Sakura will be a high-ranking official in Konoha, and although Sasuke is rarely in the village, he performs missions outside. Naruto, as his friend, couldn't possibly not give Sasuke mission subsidies.
But even with such a frequency of missions and high-level treatment, they still had to worry about mortgage payments.
Minato's home was in the center of Konoha. During the Nine-Tails Incident, it was destroyed by the Nine-Tails. What if that house still had a mortgage?
If that were truly the case, then Hiruzen not continuing to collect mortgage payments from Naruto would be something Naruto should be grateful for.
(This is just a theory, an anime theory.)
"They're here."
Kazuki watched the seven individuals who had arrived not far from them, their arms crossed.
Looking at the seven special swords, Kazuki's three-tomoe Sharingan involuntarily activated.
"Finally, some opponents with decent strength have arrived. So, do you wish to dance?"
An invisible, terrifying pressure erupted from Kazuki's body.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were a direct unit created by the First Mizukage, and they had changed generations several times.
Kazuki didn't recognize any of this generation's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but that was no problem. He would deal with all of them himself.
Kazuki was also curious about Samehada. He certainly wouldn't use Samehada, he didn't value its limited utility. But wasn't there someone in his team who was very suitable to use Samehada?
Nawaki's Chakra was significantly more than a normal person's, and he had a lot of Yang-attribute Chakra, which Samehada liked. Samehada could also enhance Nawaki's strength, and with Samehada's cooperation, it wasn't impossible for Nawaki to surpass Tsunade.
