Chapter 143

"My husband is a ninja and the Kage of a village."

"I clearly understand the responsibilities and missions Taki shoulders."

"For the ending that Taki might die in battle one day, I have actually accepted it at the inner level."

Liuhua's narration made Ryosuke gradually silent; he did not expect this woman to be so strong.

"It sounds very ridiculous, right?"

"A woman, when her husband is alive, has already prepared for his death."

Saying this, Liuhua also conveyed a bitter emotion.

"But what can be done about it?"

"Taki has the destiny of being a ninja, and I, as a ninja's wife,"

"Also have my own inescapable destiny."

"Since things have already happened, what can I do about it?"

"How could I be as selfish as Taki, leaving Lian alone and going first?"

"You silly child, adults are far stronger than you imagine."

It turned out that when Liuhua woke up and saw Mizunuki Ryosuke lying on the side of the bed, she already knew Ryosuke's intention.

"Aunt Liuhua..."

Ryosuke was silent; this woman who had just experienced the pain of losing her spouse was far more mature than he imagined.

"Silly child, at this moment,"

"You are not only the only male in this family, but also the head of the entire family."

At this very moment, Mizunuki Liuhua had recognized Ryosuke's identity as "family."

It also made Mizunuki Ryosuke understand that from now on, there was another responsibility on his shoulders.

As the master of this house, how can he let the members of the family live a life of displacement?

At this moment, Ryosuke's inner awareness became stronger.

The idea of running away at any time when the situation was not right in the past had completely disappeared.

Replacing it was a brand-new attitude.

He, Mizunuki Ryosuke, wants to stand in an invincible position in Kirigakure!

Outside the door, Lian, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, was already crying; after hearing her mother's awareness,

Lian now also understood the awareness required to be a ninja's wife.

At this moment, Mizunuki Lian also made preparations in her heart to sacrifice everything for Ryosuke.

The death of the Third Mizukage Mizunuki Taki, in addition to bringing new changes to the situation of the entire Kirigakure,

Also made the hearts of all family members in this small house change completely.

The next day, after a night of sorting and coordinating, the major institutions of Kirigakure barely resumed operation.

And all the work of Kirigakure as a whole was temporarily presided over by Tian Yuanshi.

Departments with greater losses, such as the Anbu, were still in a state of complete paralysis at the moment.

After experiencing such a big change, except for ninjas performing A-rank or higher missions, all other high-level ninjas were recalled by the village.

Scheduled for 12:00 noon, Kirigakure will hold a Jonin meeting.

At that time, all Jonin in the village will participate to discuss the future of Kirigakure.

Including the disposal of Anbu prisoners of war, the reconstruction of the Anbu, the pension for the fallen personnel, and the most important thing.

—The candidate for the Fourth Mizukage!

A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a village cannot be without a Kage for a day.

Involving such a major event, everyone naturally had to come.

It was still that office located in the Mizukage building, but this time, the protagonists of the meeting were completely different.

When Mizunuki Ryosuke arrived at the Mizukage building, most of the ninjas were already in place.

Including the descendant of the Second Mizukage, the current leader of the Hozuki clan, Hozuki Mangetsu.

And Hozuki Mangetsu was sitting in the position that originally belonged to the Anbu Chief Karatachi Yagura.

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke's arrival, Hozuki Mangetsu nodded to Ryosuke to signal.

In the previous battle, the two could be considered to have initially established a certain friendship.

Coupled with the respect for Mizunuki Ryosuke's "character," Hozuki Mangetsu was extremely respectful to Ryosuke's attitude.

To this, Ryosuke also nodded in response, which was a relatively friendly exchange.

"Ryosuke, Ryosuke come here!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached Mizunuki Ryosuke's ear; he turned his head and looked, it was his acquaintance among the Jonin, Kuroshima Morita.

Similarly, Kuroshima Morita was also a former confidant of the Third Mizukage.

Ryosuke looked left and right, and only Kuroshima Morita looked familiar, so he sat beside Kuroshima Morita.

"Ryosuke, don't worry, I will definitely vote for you in a while!"

"You are the orthodox successor of the Third!"

But who would have thought that as soon as Mizunuki Ryosuke sat down, before his butt was hot, Kuroshima Morita's words directly filled Ryosuke's head with question marks.

What vote? What successor?

Seeing Ryosuke silent, Kuroshima Morita misunderstood and said again.

"Don't worry, I have already communicated with everyone in the Mizukage Guard, as well as the old subordinates of the Third."

"At least half of them support you!"

Saying this, Kuroshima Morita patted Mizunuki Ryosuke on the shoulder, looking like "I am optimistic about you."

This made Mizunuki Ryosuke more and more confused.

Just then, a group of ninjas dressed in white with arrogant expressions walked in.

This iconic attire made everyone know the identity of the people who came at a glance.

It was the Jonin of the Mizunuki clan!

At this moment, most of these ninjas from the Mizunuki clan were still injured, and the leader was the eldest son of the Great Elder, Mizunuki Eiro, who performed well in the civil war and killed the Kaguya clan head.

Seeing the arrival of his clansmen, Mizunuki Ryosuke was just about to say hello to them.

But who expected, Mizunuki Eiro looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with hostile eyes, especially when he saw Kuroshima Morita beside Ryosuke, the hostility in his eyes was even worse.

And beside Mizunuki Eiro, the ten Jonin of the Mizunuki family also seemed not to like Ryosuke.

The Jonin of the Mizunuki family came to the old position where they met every time, but it was visible to the naked eye that more than a dozen positions were empty beside the Mizunuki Jonin.

No need to think too much to know that these Mizunuki Jonin were either seriously injured and unable to come, or had died on the battlefield yesterday.

And Mizunuki Eiro walked toward the front of the conference table alone.

Finally, he sat in the position where Jonin Commander Tian Yuanshi used to sit, that is, to the left of the main seat. ===== CHAPTER 145 =====
