"You bastard, how dare you ruin my moment!"
The pretty-boy prince was furious when Kazama stepped in to stop him.
In his eyes, Kazama was just a pathetic nobody.
For the high-and-mighty Prince of Mizu no Kuni to be blocked by a loser like this? It was an insult he couldn't stomach.
"Ruin your moment? What, you mad about it, Prince of Lust no Kuni?"
Kazama tightened his grip just a bit, and the prince's sleazy hand turned red and purple from the pressure.
The guy squealed in pain, nearly collapsing, before Kazama tossed him into a corner like a ragdoll.
The pretty-boy prince never would've guessed that scrawny-looking Kazama had such insane strength.
"You jerk! How dare you insult the name of Mizu no Kuni! Get him! Teach this cocky little punk a lesson!"
At the prince's command, his three Jōnin bodyguards surrounded Kazama in an instant.
"This kid's done for. He's up against three Jōnin!"
"Serves him right! Trying to play hero with no skills to back it up!"
The nearby nobles and aristocrats gathered around, eager to watch the drama unfold.
"What do you think you're doing? This is Hi no Kuni's turf! Tell your goons to back off!"
The Princess of Hi no Kuni might not think much of Kazama, but she wasn't about to let some outsider bully one of her people.
"Hmph! I'm the Prince of Mizu no Kuni, your future husband! Can't I discipline a worthless servant who doesn't know his place?"
The pretty-boy prince smirked at Kazama, rubbing his sore, reddened hands.
"Let me tell you something, you little punk. If you wanna play hero and save the damsel, you'd better have the skills to back it up. My three guys here? They're legit Jōnin. They're gonna teach you how to behave!"
"Come on, kid! Hurry up and beg for mercy. A lowly Genin like you can't take on three Jōnin!"
"Yeah, don't fight it, punk. This is just your fate!"
The crowd started mocking Kazama, piling on the taunts.
But right then, the three Mizu no Kuni Jōnin came charging in with a roar.
Kazama didn't even bother dodging. Instead, he locked eyes with them and unleashed a genjutsu from his Mangekyō Sharingan.
What happened next was straight-up wild.
The three Mizu no Kuni Jōnin started attacking each other.
And then, they turned on the gawking nobles and aristocrats in the crowd.
In no time, they'd beaten the onlookers black and blue, sending them screaming and scattering like roaches.
"You bastard! You're making your men attack us?!"
The nobles cursed the pretty-boy prince as they fled in a panic.
The prince was beyond livid, practically jumping with rage at the unexpected chaos.
"Are you idiots out of your minds? Stop it right now!"
But his shouting only made things worse. His three bodyguards turned on him, pummeling their own prince until his face looked like a swollen pig's head.
These Mizu no Kuni Jōnin were strong, no doubt, but against Kazama's Mangekyō Sharingan, they didn't stand a chance.
As the room descended into total chaos, Kazama stood there, completely unscathed. The Princess of Hi no Kuni watched in shock, realizing Kazama was no ordinary shinobi.
"You jerk! What kind of sorcery is this?!"
The pretty-boy prince, dodging his own men's attacks, screamed at Kazama.
"Me? I'm just a Genin. What kind of 'sorcery' could I possibly know?" Kazama said with a mocking grin. "Come on, Prince of Lust no Kuni, didn't you say your guys were gonna take me out? What's the hold-up? It's almost dawn!"
"You little—!"
The prince tried to threaten Kazama, but one of his own Jōnin kicked him face-first into the dirt.
"Hmph! Things are getting lively around here!"
Just then, a gang of bandits armed with steel blades burst in, surrounding everyone.
"Perfect timing!"
Kazama's heart leapt with excitement. He'd finally drawn out the bandits.
Now, it was time to take them down and claim that reward!
