Just as Mizuki was wondering what was going on, a wave of chakra suddenly rippled beneath the ground.
"Boom!"
As the ground burst open, Kiba and Akaya lunged straight at Mizuki.
Kiba was only six, but he had already made considerable progress in Taijutsu.
And since it was a surprise attack, Mizuki was caught off guard for a moment.

Choji felt a little panicked.
In just a few moves, the practice kunai in Choji's hand was knocked away.
He was sent flying as well.
"Give up. You're nothing but a bunch of brats."
"You don't stand a chance against a real ninja."
Mizuki looked at them arrogantly.

With that, Mizuki threw Naruto away.
He tossed out a kunai with a steel wire attached,
