For starters, I'm quite happy that they are trying to somehow "expand" the Hidden Mist. The episode in itself was good since, as already said, it is finally showing some of the dark side of the ninja world. Still, what bothers me is how Kagura is named the "successor" of Chojuro. First of all... how old is he? Like, 15? Isn't it a little early to say "I want you to be the next Mizukage"? Second, but more important... why should Chojuro give him Hiramekarei? Wouldn't be better to train him to use one of the other six swords? Should he inherit Hiramekarei, not only the Seven Swordmen would be "short a swordman" (meaning, they are trying to reform the swormen yet Kagura should inherit the only "assigned" sword, or the only confirmed so?), but also the Mizukage would lose its main asset in a fight... I found it rather dumb :/
