The Sunagakure jonin's long blade was about to come down. Suddenly, a figure carrying an iron pot and long ladle on his back, with a thin sword in hand, flashed into existence before Meikyō. He blocked the Sunagakure jonin's attack with one slash, then spun and sent him flying with a side kick. "You've got the nerve to call someone else disgraceful? In this old man's view, you're the truly disgraceful one! A jonin actually attacking three little brats." The vigorous voice came from the newcomer.
