longer hold back; they had just met the Cat King, so why was the other party giving such generous gifts to Mizunuki Ryosuke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Cat’s terrifying strength was obvious to all, and the conditions given by the Cat King were not exactly ungenerous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Mizunuki Ryosuke agreed, it would be equivalent to immediately possessing a Kage-level summoning beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that the levels of summoning beasts vary greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all ninjas dream of obtaining powerful summoning beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And powerful summoning beasts can directly increase the contractor’s strength significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the most typical example is the \"Legendary Sannin\" who are famous in the ninja world in the original work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it is Jiraiya, Orochimaru, or Tsunade, the summoning beasts of the three holy lands are an important part of their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Jiraiya, basically most of his strength comes from the Toad Holy Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were no summoning beasts, Jiraiya’s strength would drop by at least ninety percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"650\" is the combat power bonus brought by high-level summoning beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the difficulty of wanting to obtain a powerful summoning beast is naturally quite high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, Kakashi’s summoning beasts were even just a few ninja dogs he raised himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A genius of Konoha like Kakashi, a young master of the Hatake clan, found it difficult to obtain a powerful summoning beast, let alone other ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful summoning beasts are hard to come by, and at this moment, the Cat King directly sent Boss Cat into Ryosuke’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there be a reason to miss such an opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not even the main point; the Cat King’s original words were that as long as Ryosuke made a request, the entire cat clan would try their best to satisfy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then if Mizunuki Ryosuke directly asked for the \"Mizukage Secret Scroll,\" what was the point of this assessment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't this be a direct step to the sky?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with a complex expression, waiting for Ryosuke’s answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, he had already concluded in his heart that Mizunuki Ryosuke would definitely take the opportunity to ask for the \"Mizukage Secret Scroll.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such an opportunity, why not take it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking himself, if such an opportunity were placed in front of Hozuki Mangetsu himself, he would never have the possibility of refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after hearing the Cat King’s words, Mizunuki Ryosuke was quietly thinking in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"Mizukage Secret Scroll,\" or rather, this assessment, could not possibly end so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could really easily obtain the \"Mizukage Secret Scroll\" and complete this assessment mission by relying on this promise, then the Cat King would have no need to arrange for Hozuki Mangetsu to be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ryosuke estimated that the Cat King in front of him was not lying either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Cat King said, if Mizunuki Ryosuke took the opportunity to ask for the summoning rights of Boss Cat, he could probably get it without any effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But asking for the so-called \"Mizukage Secret Scroll\" would not necessarily be realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, once he asked for the so-called \"Mizukage Secret Scroll,\" he might fall into some kind of trap carefully designed by the Cat King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the beginning of this assessment, Ryosuke had a guess in his heart, and until this moment, Ryosuke still could not completely determine whether his guess was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Cat King’s cute face, Mizunuki Ryosuke could not see any depth from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful consideration, Mizunuki Ryosuke finally made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, compared to the pie falling from the sky, he still chose his own judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cat King Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I accept your kindness, and there is no need to mention the reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s just start the fourth test directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head gently, actually refusing the Cat King’s request for gratitude!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu was shocked, and the look in his eyes toward Mizunuki Ryosuke was like he had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Hozuki Mangetsu on the scene, but even the Jonin far away in the Mist were shocked in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, even the scene in the Cat King’s palace appeared in the eyes of the Jonin in the form of a \"live broadcast\" without any reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, this was also part of the assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would have thought that Mizunuki Ryosuke would actually refuse the Cat King’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn't take the opportunity to ask for the Mizukage Secret Scroll, there was no need to give up such a powerful Kage-level combat power like Boss Cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Jonin frowned, unable to see through Mizunuki Ryosuke’s operation at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Maeda Tian Yuanshi on the main seat had a trace of gratification in his eyes, and even his stiff face couldn't help but show a trace of a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting, truly interesting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat King let out a thunderous laugh, and the intense laughter even made the fat and fur on the Cat King’s body shake, looking like wheat waves blown by the wind at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with strange eyes, his eyes full of complex expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that he wants to compete with me fairly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke’s figure, and the complex emotions in his heart were difficult to describe for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you said so, let’s start directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat King stopped laughing, staring at Mizunuki Ryosuke with interested eyes, without going around in circles, directly starting the final test of the Mizukage trial...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The trial of this level is very simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The things you are desperately pursuing are now in my hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you can persuade and move me to let me hand the things to you, it counts as the completion of the trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, only one person can ultimately obtain the things you crave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it, who will go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat King looked at the two young people in front of him with burning eyes, and a smile full of bad taste appeared at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the Cat King’s inquiry, Mizunuki Ryosuke was not in a hurry, but stood in place without saying a word, seemingly quietly thinking about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Hozuki Mangetsu was not polite and directly grasped this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, since the Cat King’s words had already admitted that the \"things\" were in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then since the answer had been revealed, as long as Hozuki Mangetsu could get the things in the Cat King’s hands, it would be a happy ending for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the young master of the Hozuki family, Hozuki Mangetsu naturally knew a truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything in the world follows a rule, and that is that everything cannot escape the drive of interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything has its own value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Cat King’s words, in his ears, also seemed to be hinting at a \"transaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, suddenly stepped forward, and said to the Cat King in front of him with a steady voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cat King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things have come to this point, since the Mizukage Secret Scroll is in your hands, then I will speak plainly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the Cat King’s massive body with firm eyes, setting up a posture of wanting to \"trade fairly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu believed that as long as he could offer a value that satisfied the Cat King, he could obtain the Mizukage Secret Scroll through a \"transaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m not mistaken, the things in your hands shouldn't be of much use to the cat clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But to be honest, this thing is very important to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before talking, I can directly announce my identity to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Hozuki Mangetsu, am the direct descendant of the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu! I am also one of the candidates for the Mizukage of the Mist Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The items in your hands are the last piece of the puzzle for me to succeed as Mizukage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you name a price, I am willing to use the resources in my hands to exchange for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu said with a calm expression, which was directly revealing his trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he pointed out that the \"Mizukage Secret Scroll\" was of no use to the cat clan, and by the way, used it to suppress the price.\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-17T05:01:41.164Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8214cd76d0252669a419e6ec2d2208de2adb6dc576cd7b3e2432dbb1e15057b9","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-134","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-132",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
