Clearly, even after gaining immense power, Mizuki hadn't lost consciousness.
He immediately lunged at Sasuke's Shadow Clone.
If he couldn't tell which one was the real body, then he just had to destroy all the Shadow Clones.
With any luck, he might be able to catch the original soon!

What gave someone like that the right to become a jonin of the village?
While Mizuki was stuck at a tiny Ninja Academy?!
For a moment, envy showed in Mizuki's eyes.
