As a member of the Eagle Squad, Suiyue had always been by Shen's side. She had participated in many battles. Be it in terms of strength or combat experience, Suiyue was unquestionably much stronger compared to Chojuro, a newbie. Thus, it was only natural that Chojuro would not be able to handle her. A simple water clone was enough to easily subdue Chojuro.
"You lost. Although I don't really want to kill you, you are so stubborn. Since you don't have the ability to keep the flounder, then hand it over!" Suiyue's cold voice sounded behind Chōjuro again. From the emotionless tone, Chōjuro could feel that if he made the slightest move, the kunai would definitely cut his throat without hesitation.
Chojuro felt the chill of the Kunai on his neck, and he seemed to have lost all his strength. Recalling the encouragement of the Mizukage before he left, he finally laughed at himself and said: "Sure enough … I still can't do it? Mizukage-sama, I'm sorry … I failed to live up to your expectations … "
Suigetsu didn't care about Chojuro's mood and said indifferently: "You now have two choices. One is to live, hand over the flounder, and then obediently go back to the Mist Village. The other is to kill you now and take the flounder. If you are a smart person, you know what to choose."
The choice between life and death is not difficult as long as the person is not stupid.
Chojuro was a Ninja of the Mist Village. In the past, under the tyranny of the Fourth Mizukage, the Mist Ninja Village had to kill each other in the graduation exam. There may be classmates and friends among them. Such a cruel graduation exam gave the Mist Village the bad name of "Blood Mist".
At the same time, because of this, the Mist Village had the highest rate of betrayal among the five great villages. However, this situation improved after Mei took over the position of the Fifth Mizukage and implemented the opening policy. Chojuro, as the Fifth Mizukage's guard, was naturally loyal to the Mizukage and the Mist Village. He certainly won't easily beg for mercy from the enemy.
At this time, he recovered from the initial depression and endured the pressure of death brought by Suigetsu and the Kunai.
Hatred, anger, and regret intertwined together, tormenting him fiercely. After all, he was only an 18-year-old boy. Although he had been receiving cruel ninja education, but suddenly he had to bear the tragic death of his teammates in front of his eyes, and he couldn't do anything about it. Even he was under the control of others, and his life was in the hands of others. It was already very good that he didn't collapse from this experience.
No one wants to die. Although he wasn't afraid of death, he wanted to fight desperately with the enemy, but his remaining reason kept warning him not to do so.
Chojuro took a deep breath, and his eyes regained their clarity. He tried to suppress all the complicated emotions and kept saying to himself, "Calm down, I must calm down now. I have to live. Mizukage-sama's situation is very bad. At least, I have to get Mizukage-sama out of this dangerous situation."
Although Chojuro was very nervous, he couldn't die like this. At least, he had to ensure that the Mizukage could safely escape from here. Although he didn't know why Suigetsu didn't kill him, no matter why, this was undoubtedly his only chance. Because he knew that he wasn't the opponent of the enemy. But now that there was a chance to live in front of him, he naturally had to grasp it. More than ten years of ninja education taught him that only by living can he have the hope of revenge, and only by living can he have a future.
"I understand. Flat-Eyed Flounder, take it!" Chojuro suppressed the hatred in his heart, but when he said this sentence, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of helplessness and reluctance. The flounder wasn't just a weapon for him, it had a special meaning and affection. Now that he had to give up the flounder, he naturally felt heartache and reluctance.
Although he was reluctant, compared to the safety of the Mizukage, the latter was undoubtedly more important. After this incident, Chojuro was undoubtedly forced to grow up a lot. He was no longer the shy boy who had no opinions of his own, so Chojuro didn't hesitate to make a decision.
"Hey ~ ~ Wise choice, nothing can be more important than keeping your life!" After receiving Chojo's wise answer, a smile appeared on Suigetsu's face. At the same time, he withdrew the kunai from Chojo's neck. He wasn't worried that Chojo would play any tricks because he was confident that he could kill Chojo in an instant if he did anything wrong.
Chojuro felt that Suigetsu's killing intent disappeared, and he was secretly relieved. He knew what he should do, so he didn't take the opportunity to resist. Instead, he slowly raised the flounder in his hand and looked at it with a complicated expression. He closed his eyes and made up his mind to throw the flounder in his hand into the air. Finally, Suigetsu reached out and caught it. Another one of the seven swords fell into Suigetsu's hand.
"Hey ~ ~ Double Blade Flounder, finally, I, Hozuki Suigetsu, got it back!" Suigetsu was naturally very happy to get the Seven Swords again. He remembered that the one who used this sword was his brother, Hozuki Mangetsu, who he admired and wanted to surpass when he was a child. Hozuki Mangetsu was an elite ninja of the Mist who could skillfully use seven swords. His strength was unfathomable, and Suigetsu had always wanted to surpass him.
At this time, Chōjuro suddenly opened his eyes and turned to face Suigetsu. His gaze was firm as he looked at the flounder in Suigetsu's hand. He firmly said, "One day, I will definitely take back all of the Seven Ninja Blades!"
Suigetsu just sneered and said with disdain: "The Fourth Mizukage ordered the expulsion of all Kekkei Genkai clans from the Mist Village. Although the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by Madara at that time, our Hozuki Clan suffered because of that order. I don't have any good impression of the Mist Village. I'm letting you go this time because I used to live in the Mist Village. I'm already being very kind to the Mist Village. The next time you dare to appear in front of me, you won't be as lucky as today!"
After saying that, Suigetsu didn't pay any more attention to Choju Juro. He sealed the Sharkbone Flounder back into the scroll, then walked in front of the Great Executioner's Blade. He picked it up and walked towards Jugo.
