As the Mizukage fell into the mire, the surrounding battlefield fell silent.
With all five great hidden villages already in the "era of the Third," the Mizukage, once a candidate for Second, was regarded as a veteran master with a narrow mind and poor governing skills...
Yet now, a young jonin from Konoha had knocked him straight to the ground in a one-on-one fight.
