The Third Mizukage.
He could be considered a legendary figure as well~
At the first Kage Summit, he had served as the guard of the First Mizukage—Byakuren.
He was also a warlike Mizukage. During his rule, he turned Kirigakure into the Village of the Bloody Mist. Among students of the same academy class, only the strongest could graduate, ushering in an era of survival of the fittest.
He used brutal methods to train formidable ninjas!
It was not until Zabuza appeared... killing every other ninja in his class and leaving only himself, that this method of survival of the fittest was finally changed.
And Kusana... had intended to deal with this Mizukage from the very beginning.
After all, the position of a village's Kage was no simple matter. Sunagakure was proof enough. After the Third Kazekage disappeared, it had immediately fallen into a void, eventually triggering the Third Shinobi World War.
As for why he had chosen Kirigakure?
Because Kirigakure was just right!
Kirigakure during this period was neither strong nor weak.
It was weaker than the three great villages of Konoha, Iwa, and Kumo, yet stronger than Sunagakure, which was only being held up by its older generation. Therefore, if Kirigakure could be severely wounded, the other ninja villages would no longer dare attack Grass and Rain so easily.
After all, they were also embroiled in fierce war at the moment. If they could not secure a swift victory, it would inevitably affect their other battlefields!
At this moment.
"Bang!"
After seeing the giant dragon that could not break free being directly detonated, the expressionless Third Mizukage swiftly retreated and assumed a defensive stance, a trace of shock appearing on his face. Then, he glanced at the remaining giant dragons that were still encircling and suppressing the Mist Ninja.
