Chapter 131

Seeing that Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu had decided who would go first, Boss Cat didn't say much.

He drove his burly body with a leap onto the arena and said to Mizunuki Ryosuke with an expressionless face.

"Come."

A silent sense of oppression emanated from Boss Cat’s burly frame.

Mizunuki Ryosuke met Boss Cat’s indifferent gaze and suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

Without further delay, Mizunuki Ryosuke also leaped to the center of the arena.

The battle between the two was about to begin.

Conspiracy, calculation, fear, hesitation...

These various things seemed naturally incompatible with Boss Cat.

Boss Cat’s instinct had only taught him one thing, and that was—to speak with his fists.

"Rip!!!!"

In an instant, the clothes already tight on Boss Cat’s body burst apart, and the muscles on his already extremely burly frame bulged like they had been inflated.

"Haaah!!!!"

Subsequently, Boss Cat let out a long roar toward the sky, the deafening sound echoing throughout the arena.

Five meters, eight meters, ten meters...

Finally, Boss Cat’s body expanded to a full height of fifteen meters!

Compared to Boss Cat at this moment, the five-meter frame of Neko-nosuke from earlier could only be called a small cat meeting a big cat.

"Come on!!!"

"Have a satisfying fight with me!"

After his body expanded to fifteen meters, a trace of terrifying murderous aura faintly appeared on Boss Cat.

Below the stage, Neko-nosuke looked at Boss Cat’s massive body, his eyes filled with excitement and reverence.

"It appeared! Master’s ultimate form!!!!"

Neko-nosuke exclaimed excitedly, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke with somewhat pitying eyes.

At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s complexion was extremely ugly.

Even if one thought with their butt, they would know that this terrifying devil-muscle cat, looking like a small mountain, was absolutely terrifyingly strong!

But now, since the arrow was already on the string, Mizunuki Ryosuke could not retreat.

Without holding anything back, Ryosuke went all out.

Five minutes later, a dazed Mizunuki Ryosuke stood foolishly in place, his arms trembling slightly.

Opposite him, Boss Cat still stood in place, his giant-like body standing motionless like a silent bronze statue.

He looked down at Mizunuki Ryosuke with indifferent eyes, his gaze full of disappointment.

Five minutes! A full five minutes!

Boss Cat just stood there, not even fighting back, letting Mizunuki Ryosuke attack.

But the Ice Release Mizunuki Ryosuke unleashed couldn't even break through Boss Cat’s defense.

Yes, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s Ice Release couldn't break his defense at all!

The sharp ice spikes, when facing Boss Cat’s granite-like solid muscles, were like eggs hitting a stone, cracking instantly.

The invincible freezing air, when frozen onto Boss Cat’s massive body, was like scratching an itch for him.

Mizunuki Ryosuke’s five full minutes of attacks were like children playing house to Boss Cat.

Mizunuki Ryosuke had only one thought in his heart at this moment: This cat is a monster!

And for Boss Cat, he had only one thought at this moment, and that was extreme disappointment.

Actually, the reason for all this was because of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

In fact, when the Cat King arranged for the two elders to assess the three teams, he had given them secret instructions, signaling that they could "go easy" appropriately.

But regarding this, Boss Cat seemed somewhat noncommittal.

Back in the underground cavern, Boss Cat had glimpsed fragments in Neko-taro’s mind, thus learning of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s terrifying strength.

Afterward, after watching several battles from the sidelines, Boss Cat became even more certain that Ryosuke’s strength was incomparably terrifying.

In Boss Cat’s eyes, Mizunuki Ryosuke, who could compete at the same level as Ryosuke, should have strength not much different, even if he wasn't as good as Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Facing an opponent like Ryosuke, Boss Cat had no confidence in winning, so naturally, he dared not go easy.

With this preconceived notion, Boss Cat subconsciously viewed Mizunuki Ryosuke as an opponent of the same level as Ryosuke.

The result...

Under Boss Cat’s all-out effort, Mizunuki Ryosuke couldn't even break Boss Cat’s defense.

Because of this, Boss Cat, who had expected to have a real fight with a strong enemy, was naturally disappointed.

But there is no turning back once the bow is drawn; since he had already shown his strongest posture, there was no reason to return empty-handed.

"One punch."

"I will only throw one punch."

After a long time, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke on the opposite side, who had lost all fighting spirit and was trembling in place, Boss Cat said in a very calm tone.

Hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s eyes froze, but then his face became extremely twisted.

Even if his strength was limited, he was stubborn and possessed an indescribable twisted arrogance; this was Mizunuki Ryosuke.

With his pride, he simply could not accept such a result.

Mizunuki Ryosuke gritted his teeth, preparing to say something.

But Boss Cat on the opposite side clearly had no intention of entangling with him any longer.

Boss Cat controlled his massive body, which carried a terrifying aura, to steady himself in a half-squat, then slowly pulled his fist into his abdomen, while compressing all his strength into his fist.

The next second, Boss Cat channeled all his strength and slammed a punch toward Mizunuki Ryosuke on the opposite side.

The terrifying sonic boom, accompanied by the buzzing sound of air being torn apart, made a deafening noise; no one could see the speed of Boss Cat’s punch, not even Ryosuke at this moment.

"So fast!"

Ryosuke’s pupils contracted slightly, and he whispered in surprise.

With Boss Cat’s prior warning, Mizunuki Ryosuke had the chance to construct a layer of defense.

Ice Release: Ice Hall Rockless.

A very practical Ice Release defensive ninjutsu, but under Boss Cat’s terrifying punch, it was simply not enough.

"BOOM!!!!!"

Ice shards scattered across the sky, and Mizunuki Ryosuke behind the ice wall was now in an unknown state of life or death.

Subsequently, Boss Cat lost all interest, and his fifteen-meter-tall burly body gradually shrank back to its original size.

Below the stage, Neko-nosuke very thoughtfully and timely presented a cloak to Boss Cat, and Boss Cat took it and covered his body.

Three Mizunuki ninjas hurriedly stepped forward to check on Mizunuki Ryosuke’s condition.

After some checking, they found that Mizunuki Ryosuke was not dead, but had fallen into a state of severe injury.

Clearly, at the critical moment, Boss Cat had held back, saving Ryosuke’s life.

On the other side, the Mist Jonin were all speechless.

The gap was simply too large; there is no harm without comparison.

Compared to Mizunuki Ryosuke’s overwhelming victory, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s posture at this moment was perhaps too ugly.

The Mizunuki clan’s Jonin all had ugly expressions, knowing that with this defeat, Mizunuki Ryosuke had completely lost his chance at the position of Mizukage.

Both of the Mizunuki clan, why was the gap so large?

In fact, the Jonin also understood in their hearts that it wasn't that Ryosuke was too weak, but that Ryosuke was simply too strong.
