Sansho-uo Shinda’s idea actually didn't have any major problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he had misjudged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Sansho-uo Shinda, thinking his movements were incredibly agile, arrived in front of Ryosuke with his kunai; looking at his smug appearance, it seemed he had already decided he had Mizunuki Ryosuke in the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Ryosuke didn't even perform any unnecessary movements; he just slowly extended one hand, directly and precisely pinching Sansho-uo Shinda’s neck, while simultaneously lifting him high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sansho-uo Shinda hadn't even managed to see Mizunuki Ryosuke’s movement clearly before he had been completely defeated in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gurgle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his vital point seized and his feet off the ground, Sansho-uo Shinda instantly lost his combat ability; the kunai in his hand dropped directly to the ground, a painful expression appeared on his face, and his eyes, like those of a dead fish, rolled back in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, Sansho-uo Shinda’s \"beheading plan,\" which he thought was foolproof, directly turned into a \"gift-giving plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their leader captured, it was now the group of Rain Ninjas who became hesitant to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to the fact that this bunch had already been scared out of their wits, not a single one dared to continue stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke continued to move forward with calm steps, one hand still pinching Sansho-uo Shinda’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move aside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke spat out two words indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this group of Rain Ninjas whose combat power was truly not worth mentioning, Mizunuki Ryosuke had no intention of continuing to tangle with them; slaughtering these Rain Ninjas was simply a waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that the opponent's leader came up and gave himself away could be considered as saving Ryosuke a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their leader captured, the group of Rain Ninjas was left without a head, and besides, no one wanted to be the first to come up and die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, the Rain Ninjas retreated one after another, clearing the passage for them to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the two of them just like that, unhurriedly, relied on the hostage in their hands to slowly leave the trap the Rain Ninjas had meticulously set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, Tsunade had already left by relying on her own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those two Sand Ninjas and the Earth Ninja, Ryosuke had absolutely no interest in paying them any more attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as ninjas from major nations, these two had not reached the level of strength of Tsunade and Ryosuke; facing the encirclement of the Rain Ninjas, I fear they were doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This actually couldn't be blamed on these Rain Ninjas for being too weak, but rather that Sansho-uo Shinda had never expected this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broken net he had cast out casually had actually caught three \"great whales.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rain Ninjas would also never have imagined that among them were such big shots as the Princess of the Senju and the Fourth Mizukage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Ryosuke were not present today, Tsunade’s combat power alone would be enough to turn this place upside down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So everything could only be blamed on Sansho-uo Shinda for not checking the almanac before going out today; he was simply too unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Rain Ninjas' encirclement, in a corner of the Rain Village, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at the half-dead Sansho-uo Shinda in his hand, pondering how to deal with the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Ryosuke had no intention of being hostile toward the Rain Ninjas when he came to the Rain Village this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that, hindered by Sansho-uo Shinda’s stupidity, it had led to the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing Sansho-uo Shinda directly would be of no benefit to Ryosuke; after all, no matter how trashy this guy was, he still held the title of \"Hanzo’s Right Hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't look at the monk, look at the Buddha; you have to consider the master when beating a dog. For the sake of Sansho-uo Hanzo, Ryosuke also intended to let him off the hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as it happens, this Sansho-uo Shinda also had a brief appearance in the original work as experience for the Crown Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, Sansho-uo Hanzo had his spirit completely broken during the Second Shinobi World War, so after the war ended, he started the \"lying flat\" mode in the Rain Village, acting as the local emperor of the Land of Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, the rise of the \"Akatsuki\" organization, led by Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, made Sansho-uo Hanzo feel that his status was threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he used deception to gather the three of them together and meticulously prepared an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the result of the ambush was Yahiko’s death and Nagato’s rampage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Sansho-uo Hanzo was directly driven back by the terrifying power of the Rinnegan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the power of the Akatsuki organization was taken over by Nagato, and Nagato, whose heart was occupied by hatred, used the power of the Rinnegan to kill Sansho-uo Hanzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rain Village had since entered the era belonging to \"Akatsuki.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also from this period that the Akatsuki organization, which would later plague all directions in the original work, gradually took its future shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Rain Ninjas who originally belonged to Sansho-uo Hanzo’s forces, in order not to be liquidated by Nagato, could only choose to defect one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sansho-uo Shinda, \"Hanzo’s Right Hand,\" was also among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Nagato clearly had no interest in chasing down these small fry, because by that time, Nagato was already devoted to the heavy responsibility of \"world nuclear peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after leaving the Rain Ninjas and losing his backing, Sansho-uo Shinda was clearly a guy without any real ability, so he could only do some petty thievery to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the point that he eventually ended up as \"experience\" for the Crown Prince Naruto to level up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of this, Ryosuke was quite familiar with the Sansho-uo Shinda before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Sansho-uo Shinda still had a \"mission\" to complete in the future, Ryosuke didn't mind leaving some \"material\" for the Crown Prince to gain experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke casually threw Sansho-uo Shinda into a corner of the Rain Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, please punish me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoshigaki Kisame said in a low voice to Mizunuki Ryosuke before him, while his eyes carried a trace of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was he who had brought Ryosuke to this intelligence agency, and now, not only had they returned empty-handed, but they had also stirred up a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, this matter couldn't be blamed on Hoshigaki Kisame; no one expected that due to the change in the situation, they would happen to encounter the Rain Ninjas purging ninjas from major nations, leading to such a farce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, the matter had already happened, and Hoshigaki Kisame naturally had to take responsibility for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of this, Hoshigaki Kisame felt a bit ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, this matter is not your fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the contrary, it allowed me to obtain some good opportunities here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just shook his head lightly, not looking like he was blaming Hoshigaki Kisame at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1348,"2026-06-17T05:01:41.164Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e5f9d666660d777abc577f0de1aef9fa68fde15681f7646d5ce35cb33ec02d9c","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-163","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-161",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
