Chapter 153

Hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke finally felt relieved.

"Are you so confident that you can succeed as Mizukage?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke asked with a smile.

Looking at Hozuki Mangetsu's feminine face in front of him, Mizunuki Ryosuke found that his impression of him was actually quite good.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

"So what if I can't be Mizukage?"

"Losing to you is not shameful."

Hozuki Mangetsu said with a loud laugh, excluding the other competitor, Mizunuki Eiro, in just a few words.

He seemed not to take Mizunuki Eiro to heart at all.

"How about it, do you agree to my wager or not?"

Hozuki Mangetsu pursued the question.

At first, Mizunuki Ryosuke had intended to refuse.

But after some interaction, the impression Hozuki Mangetsu gave him changed his mind.

"Good!"

"Since you've said so, wouldn't it be a bit unappreciative of the situation if I were to decline?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke said, extending a hand toward Hozuki Mangetsu in front of him.

"Then, I look forward to our contest!"

Hozuki Mangetsu grabbed Mizunuki Ryosuke's hand, and after the two gripped it firmly,

Hozuki Mangetsu turned into a puddle of liquid and disappeared from the spot.

After coming out of the Mizukage building, Mizunuki Ryosuke first went to Kaguya Yuta's secret stronghold.

He informed them that the village had agreed to return the Kaguya ancestral land to Kaguya Yuta, and that the previous rebellion of the Kaguya had been wiped clean.

Along with Kaguya Yuta, the Kirigakure ninja status of several Kaguya clansmen present was restored.

Hearing this, Kaguya Yuta's expression was excited, and he thanked Mizunuki Ryosuke repeatedly.

To this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just smiled without a word, saying faintly that it was all the Third Mizukage's credit, and if they wanted to thank someone, they should thank the Third.

Although they were hiding here, this did not mean that Kaguya Yuta had cut off his sources of information.

Almost the moment the Jonin meeting ended, relying on the previous Kaguya clan connections, Kaguya Yuta already knew everything that had happened at the Jonin meeting.

He also knew that it was Mizunuki Ryosuke who had used his own precious opportunity to help the Kaguya orphans out of their predicament.

After all, the Third Mizukage was already dead; if Mizunuki Ryosuke hadn't stood up to speak for them, the identities of these Kaguya clansmen would probably not have been cleared at this moment.

"My Lord!"

"From now on, our Kaguya clan will surely follow your lead!"

At this moment, Kaguya Yuta no longer hesitated, leading dozens of Kaguya clansmen to kneel before Mizunuki Ryosuke.

He of course also knew that with the Third Mizukage gone,

the young man in front of him was one of the candidates most likely to succeed as Mizukage; since the Third Mizukage Mizunuki Taki had already passed away, defecting to Mizunuki Ryosuke's command was naturally the only choice.

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke hurriedly helped Kaguya Yuta up while secretly sighing: it looks like there will be no shortage of professional thugs and security guards in the future.

Looking at the burly appearances of the Kaguya clansmen and the firm muscles all over their bodies, Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded with satisfaction.

After handling the Kaguya matter, Mizunuki Ryosuke set off on the road home.

By the time Ryosuke stepped into the entire Mizunuki clan territory, the usually very lively clan territory was now covered in plain white.

From the houses belonging to various clansmen, sounds of wailing came from time to time.

The cause of this scene was naturally because a large number of clansmen had sacrificed themselves in the civil war.

The village's memorial service was arranged to be held by the Fourth after the succession.

Before that, the families of the dead ninjas were separately arranging the funerals for the fallen ninjas.

After a light sigh in his heart, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not linger, because of his previous low profile, he was not familiar with most of the clansmen except for Lian.

By the time Mizunuki Ryosuke approached his home, Ryosuke's eyes changed suddenly. ===== CHAPTER 155 =====
