a normal person likely wouldn't have any extra thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For another, human life was at stake right now; where would there be time to consider anything else?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, the girl's shyness still caused a trace of unnatural blush to appear on Terumi Mei's paper-white face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She closed her eyes tightly, leaving the wounds on her body for Mizunuki Ryosuke to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not rush to treat Terumi Mei's injuries, but first checked the condition of the wounds and Terumi Mei's state.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were two most serious injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The fracture of the right arm and the penetrating wound on the chest and abdomen; other parts were just some minor abrasions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After confirming there were no omissions, Mizunuki Ryosuke took out thread from his ninja tool pouch, and after initially treating Terumi Mei's wounds with the Palm Sage Technique, he used the needle and thread to suture her wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The intense pain made Terumi Mei bite her teeth tightly; in the silent environment, such pain appeared even more oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>More than ten minutes later, the fatal wound on the chest and abdomen had been properly dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward, Mizunuki Ryosuke helped the girl complete the bone setting of her right arm, and then used splints made of ice to help Terumi Mei fix the position of the bones in her right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a series of operations, Terumi Mei was finally completely out of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under the intense pain, Terumi Mei was covered in sweat and was nearly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In such an environment, there was instead a kind of delicate beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke had no intention of taking advantage of her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He took off his own clothes, tore them up to bandage Terumi Mei's wounds, covered the key parts of her body, and then remained shirtless himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Such treatment was already the most reasonable in the current scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that what Ryosuke did not notice was that in the narrow space shrouded by the ice wings, the weak girl's gaze toward him already carried a trace of strange emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since Terumi Mei's injuries had stabilized, Mizunuki Ryosuke had to consider the next step of action.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Due to Terumi Mei's state, the two could not communicate effectively at this moment, so Ryosuke could only infer the current situation based on the information at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding the two injuries on Terumi Mei's body, Ryosuke deduced that the fracture of the right arm should have been caused by falling from a high altitude after encountering sensory confusion during the fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And as for the cause of the penetrating wound, according to Ryosuke's guess, there were two possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One was caused by the attacker they had been pursuing all the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second, there might be other dangerous creatures lingering in this mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In Mizunuki Ryosuke's own view, he was more inclined toward the second possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just then, Terumi Mei forcibly used her right arm to make a gesture in sign language.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the meaning of this sign language was \"ghost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, a trace of depth flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Subsequently, a powerful sense of oppression burst forth from Mizunuki Ryosuke's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whether it was the previous attacker or the ghost hiding in the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whoever it was, daring to touch his people, then they should be prepared to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of this, a trace of killing intent flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Terumi Mei's miserable state, he truly had the intention to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even knowing that in her severely injured state, Terumi Mei was not suitable for movement, leaving her alone here was clearly even more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without caring about that, Mizunuki Ryosuke slowly held Terumi Mei in front of him, and then gave a look of \"reassurance\" to Terumi Mei in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Terumi Mei also read the deep meaning in Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No matter what, I will never leave you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For some reason, Terumi Mei suddenly felt a soreness in her nose; looking at the firm gaze of the young man in front of her, her heart, for some reason, began to beat non-stop again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She no longer met Mizunuki Ryosuke's gaze, but directly buried her head in Ryosuke's chest, and the line of sight hidden in front of Ryosuke's chest also became somewhat flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not think much, only assuming that Terumi Mei was still palpitating from the situation she had encountered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next moment, the ice wings were withdrawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The figures of the two appeared once again in this mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the entire ninja world, 99.9% of ninjas would feel helpless when facing the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The disruption of perception did not just mean the deviation of \"left and right\" directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When releasing ninjutsu, there would also be huge problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For example, a ninjutsu originally intended to be released to the left would suddenly be released to the right, or a technique meant to be shot into the sky would suddenly take a turn and be released on oneself, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But for Mizunuki Ryosuke, there were clearly no such concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the current situation, he had at least multiple ways to get out of this predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Considering Terumi Mei's injuries, he still intended to use the most \"secure\" method.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Slowly raising one hand, at a speed that ordinary ninjas could not understand, Ryosuke quickly formed four hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>(Da-ba-shui-xiu-ha!!)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A massive amount of water began to spread in all directions from under Ryosuke's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under Ryosuke's desperate urging, the terrifying amount of water instantly submerged everything in this space.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Following the pouring in of the massive amount of liquid, Ryosuke also clearly perceived the boundaries of this misty space by relying on the caster's control over water.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It turned out that the seemingly boundless misty space was just a circular space with a total area of less than ten square kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Ryosuke continued to inject, the water level in the misty space began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Ryosuke was still holding Terumi Mei, always stepping on the water surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One meter, three meters, five meters...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the continuous pouring of liquid, Mizunuki Ryosuke gradually insighted the condition of the entire misty space by relying on his control over water.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suddenly, Mizunuki Ryosuke perceived the existence of a creature in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ryosuke slowly raised a hand, and the rapid current under the water washed this creature toward Ryosuke's direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ryosuke raised his hand and scooped it from the water, and a large, soaking wet orange cat appeared before Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fur, sharp claws...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Based on these, Ryosuke concluded at a glance that this guy was the \"attacker\" who had led the two all the way here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that at this moment, the attacker's state was not very good...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>·· Seeking flowers ·· ··\u003C\u002Fp>",1268,"2026-06-17T04:30:30.011Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0e890d9578cb8c465eb68be9ac22f46de41a49bac647964d854e1271df051a2d","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-104","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-102",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
