Chapter 138

Clearly, he also highly approved of the Cat King’s words.

“Don’t forget, there is one last thing.”

“Since you have already guessed that the thing in my hands is not the ‘Mizukage Secret Scroll.’”

“Then have you guessed what this thing actually is?”

A look of curiosity flashed in the Cat King’s eyes; no cat lacks curiosity, and the Cat King was no exception.

At this moment, whether it was Suishi Tatsuo or the Hidden Mist Jonin watching through the water screen, their curiosity was fully piqued.

No one didn’t want to know what the so-called “Mizukage Secret Scroll” was all about, and what this item, which the village spared no cost to obtain, really was.

“Haha!”

“Your Majesty Cat King, why do you ask?”

“Since I dared to open my mouth and add conditions to you, I naturally already guessed what this thing is.”

Mizunuki Ryosuke didn’t answer directly, but looked at the Cat King with deep meaning.

“Hahahahahaha!!!!”

“Interesting, truly too interesting!!!”

Hearing this, the Cat King laughed again, his fat body laughing into a “wavy” state.

So, what was this thing that the Hidden Mist village high-level officials were desperate to obtain and which was in the hands of the Cat King?

Soon, the Cat King revealed the answer directly.

I saw one of the claws behind the Cat King’s fat body suddenly stretch out, pulling a huge white scroll from the black and white throne beneath him.

Subsequently, the Cat King held one end of the scroll and threw the other end violently toward Mizunuki Ryosuke.

The scroll unfolded, revealing its contents.

After the huge scroll was spread out, it was nearly ten meters long, and on the inside of the nearly ten-meter scroll, only a name and a palm print were written.

Mizunuki Ryosuke reached out to catch the other end of the scroll, his gaze burning as he looked at the large blank space inside the scroll.

“Now, it is yours.”

“You can write your name on it now.”

The Cat King said with a smile, and a bit of satisfaction appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ryosuke.

“This is”

Suishi Tatsuo stood on the spot in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“That’s right, the thing in the Cat King’s hands.”

“It is the summoning scroll of the Ninja Cat clan.”

Mizunuki Ryosuke announced the final answer softly.

“So that’s how it is”

“So that’s how it is!”

Suishi Tatsuo finally realized all the connections in hindsight.

At the same time, the Jonin located in Hidden Mist also revealed expressions of surprise.

Regarding this result, everyone expressed that it was somewhat unexpected, but in fact, it was within reasonable logic.

On the other hand, for the sake of their own interests and demands, the Ninja Cat clan was also assessing the three squads to select a contractor who could carry the bond between the cat clan and Hidden Mist.

According to the demands put forward by the Cat King, we can know that the Ninja Cat clan is currently not satisfied with their current living environment.

After years of development, the Ninja Cat clan is in urgent need of a new direction for development.

And nowadays, most of the locations suitable for survival in the ninja world have been occupied by various summoning beast clans and humans.

To develop outward, the Ninja Cat clan has only two paths to take.

Either launch a war and seize the territory of other summoning beasts.

Or unite with humans, obtain human help, and use humans as a springboard to enter the ninja world.

War is clearly not what the Ninja Cat clan wants, and when it comes to cooperation, the most qualified within the Land of Water is naturally Hidden Mist, one of the five great ninja villages.

So this assessment, the final winner will not only become a qualified Mizukage of Hidden Mist village, but also a contractor recognized by the Ninja Cat clan.

This contractor will also become the bond of cooperation between the Ninja Cat clan and Hidden Mist village.

The current assessment is less like an assessment used by Hidden Mist village to unilaterally select a Mizukage.

It is more like a dual assessment conducted jointly by the Ninja Cat clan and Hidden Mist.

On one hand, the Ninja Cat clan uses the form of a “live broadcast” to broadcast the assessment process of the three Mizukage candidates to the Jonin of Hidden Mist.

Letting the Jonin understand the performance of the three candidates to determine if they are qualified to succeed as Mizukage.

At the same time, as the basis for cooperation, the Cat King will hand the summoning scroll to the contractor to show his sincerity.

Any human, as long as they sign their name on the Ninja Cat clan’s summoning scroll, is qualified to use the summoning jutsu to summon any ninja cat within the Ninja Cat clan.

Such authority can be considered second only to the Cat King.

This is why the Cat King was extremely cautious about whether to give out the summoning scroll.

It can be said that mastering the summoning scroll is equivalent to mastering most of the combat power of the cat clan.

That is to say, the so-called “Mizukage Secret Scroll” actually didn’t exist from the beginning.

Perhaps it can be said that the “Mizukage Secret Scroll” is actually the “Summoning Scroll” of the Ninja Cat clan.

Only when the Hidden Mist side meets the Cat King’s three conditions will the Cat King hand over the Ninja Cat clan’s summoning scroll.

For Hidden Mist, achieving cooperation with the Ninja Cat clan is the true significance of this S-rank mission.

It is also the assessment content given by the Hidden Mist high-level officials to the three Mizukage successors.

Before the three of them came to the Cat Country, this cooperation was probably only at the “project initiation” level.

To complete the cooperation, the three needed to use their own actions to move the Cat King and exchange for the Ninja Cat clan’s summoning scroll.

Of course, Mizunuki Ryosuke only dared to counter-propose the condition of requesting ninja cat support to the Ninja Cat clan after guessing that the so-called “Mizukage Secret Scroll” was actually the “Summoning Scroll” of the Ninja Cat clan.

After all, since the “Summoning Scroll” was given, it didn’t matter if they added these one hundred ninja cats per year.

And the Cat King, to express his sincerity in cooperation, also agreed to Mizunuki Ryosuke’s request.

And doing so is not without benefits for the Ninja Cat clan.

Since the Cat King has already made up his mind to use Hidden Mist as a springboard to enter the ninja world.

Then it is better to take this opportunity to send out ninja cats to build friendship and bonds with Hidden Mist ninjas in advance, preparing for the future development and growth of the Ninja Cat clan in the ninja world.

Through layers of games, Hidden Mist and the Ninja Cat clan finally reached a win-win situation.

And undoubtedly, the contractor holding the ninja cat summoning scroll will be the biggest winner.

Mizunuki Ryosuke didn’t stand on ceremony either, and directly wrote his name on the Ninja Cat clan’s summoning scroll.

On the snow-white scroll, he engraved the five big characters “Mizunuki Ryosuke” with his blood, and then pressed a clear palm print on the scroll with his blood-stained palm.

At this moment, Ryosuke could clearly feel that his spirit had established some kind of connection with the Ninja Cat clan through the summoning scroll in front of him.

The moment he wrote this name with blood, Ryosuke also knew that the position of Mizukage was already in his pocket.

On the other side, Suishi Tatsuo looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke’s actions, a trace of envy appearing in his eyes, but that was all.

He also knew what it meant to write his name on this scroll.

He, Suishi Tatsuo, can afford to play and can afford to lose.

“It seems that I will have to work conscientiously in the position of Mist Anbu Chief in the future.”

Suishi Tatsuo sighed in his heart and shook his head secretly.

Hidden Mist village, inside the Mizukage building.

The Jonin also understood what this assessment was all about.

The addition of ninja cats was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Hidden Mist at a time when it was extremely weak.

The mission of the three Mizukage candidates to the Cat Country was not only to win the hearts of the people in the village through their performance, but also to conquer the Cat King through their own efforts and obtain the Cat King’s recognition.

And the person who completed the ninja cat assessment and single-handedly facilitated the addition of ninja cats to Hidden Mist was naturally the greatest contributor to Hidden Mist at the moment, and the biggest winner of this mission.

At the moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke, who completed the mission, not only showed his own qualities but also brought great benefits to Hidden Mist village through his own efforts.

The Jonin had all seen the performance of the three Mizukage candidates, and there was no need to say who was stronger or weaker.

“Wisdom, strength, perseverance, belief, overall view”

“To become an excellent Mizukage, these elements are indispensable.”

“This assessment is a resolution made after I discussed it with the elders of the village.”

“Now, I announce the end of the assessment.”

Just at this moment, Tian Tian Yuanshi slowly stood up and scanned all the Jonin in the conference room.
