Seeing that the spectators had already retreated far enough, Juzo Biwa made his move at once.
"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"
Knowing that his strength was not among the best of those present, Juzo Biwa opened with a large-scale Hidden Mist Technique. Thick fog rapidly spread out, covering the positions of everyone involved and blocking their sight and perception.
Juzo Biwa intended to use the Silent Killing Technique he had only recently mastered, seeing if he could quietly eliminate a few people within the mist first.
Nearly twelve years old, Juzo Biwa had reached the level of an Elite Chunin under Seiji's training and was close to Jonin level. However, among the participants were genuine Jonin, including a Jonin from the Hozuki Clan, judging by his attire.
The Hozuki Clan's Great Water Arm Technique, derived from their Water Transformation Ability, indeed made them well suited to wielding a large Ninja Sword like the Executioner's Blade, but Juzo Biwa had no intention of giving up.
