Chapter 146: , he secretly sighed, what a pity

Undoubtedly, Mizunuki Ryosuke was extremely resistant to the position of Mizukage.

Being a "mediocre" Kage-level powerhouse was undoubtedly already Mizunuki Ryosuke's limit.

And becoming the Mizukage was something Mizunuki Ryosuke absolutely could not accept.

Not to mention that a tall tree catches the wind, once one becomes "Kage,"

this identity not only represents honor and status, but also means that one will shoulder the entire responsibility of a ninja village!

Endless schemes and crises would also follow in the wake of this identity.

Not to mention the distant, let's talk about the near.

If Mizunuki Taki had not been the Mizukage, he would never have died in this battle.

Although the potential danger to Kirigakure, Uchiha Madara, had been mostly neutralized by Ryosuke, this did not mean in the slightest that Mizunuki Ryosuke could rest easy.

To become the Mizukage at this moment and take over Kirigakure, which could absolutely be called a "mess,"

the difficulties and hardships involved hardly needed Mizunuki Ryosuke to elaborate.

According to his past personality, he would certainly have refused without a second word.

But at this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke was, for once, uncharacteristically hesitant.

The position of Mizukage represented danger, but it also meant opportunity.

Sometimes, blind avoidance is useless; only by actively facing and planning can one stand in an invincible position.

As the saying goes, one is often not in control of one's own fate in the world; today is already different from the past.

Where in the world is there absolute safety or danger?

Becoming the Mizukage, while facing multiplied risks, also brought enormous power and influence.

At this moment, Ryosuke was plunged into unprecedented hesitation.

Of course, the others did not know what was in Ryosuke's mind.

During the time Ryosuke was dazed, Tian Yuanshi had already detailed the losses the village had suffered in this civil strife.

All the Jonin present revealed solemn expressions upon hearing this.

In fact, looking at this Jonin meeting alone, one could see that before the civil strife, Kirigakure had a total of about three hundred Jonin.

But at this time, excluding the twenty-plus Mist Anbu Jonin who had participated in the rebellion and were awaiting judgment, all other Jonin were present, and only one hundred and forty remained.

The death and injury of a full half of the Jonin had already shaken Kirigakure to its core.

Coupled with the deaths of the Mizukage and the Mist Anbu Chief, the losses Kirigakure had suffered this time were immeasurable.

Not to mention that the majority of casualties in the war came from the Chunin.

One shocking number after another was exposed from Tian Yuanshi's mouth, making the atmosphere of the entire meeting incredibly heavy.

"In summary, the village is currently at a very critical moment." ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
