he quickly formed three hand seals with hand speed that left afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The highest-level Fire Style was unleashed by him, and the terrifying high temperature brewed between his mouth and nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flame bomb with a diameter of over fifty meters, resembling a meteorite, was spat out by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, so strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade, who had been carried on Ryosuke’s back all along, muttered to herself in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such Fire Style attainment was probably on par with her master, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(A little praise for the Third Hokage, counting as rounding out Kishimoto’s setting of the Third being the strongest Hokage.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the flame bomb arrived, Hanzo of the Salamander had already sensed that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped the action of continuing to hook Mizunuki Ryosuke with the scythe and formed hand seals with movements that were equally impossible to see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ryosuke released the Great Fire Annihilation, Hanzo of the Salamander’s chest also expanded slightly, and he opened his mouth to spit out a huge mud bomb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Salamander: Mud Cannon Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a body talent of Hanzo of the Salamander’s summoning, the wild salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wild salamanders usually live in swamps filled with mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, the salamander possessed the ability to spit mud bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mud bomb is neither a rock bomb nor a water bomb; it has unique composite attributes, has the characteristics of Earth Style weight and density, and also has the attributes of Water Style, counting as a natural counter-ninjutsu to Fire Style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at this moment, even if the scale of Hanzo of the Salamander’s Mud Cannon Technique was not as large as Ryosuke’s Great Fire Annihilation, it had the advantage of attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame bomb and the mud bomb collided in the air; with the bursting of the flame bomb, the flowing flames and mud in the air scattered and flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke took the opportunity to break free from the hooked scythe at his waist, pulled back and retreated rapidly, and at the same time formed hand seals with one hand, summoning twenty-four prisms formed of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty-four ice mirrors formed a perfect camouflage around Mizunuki Ryosuke’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Technique: Demonic Mirror Illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the camouflage of the Demonic Mirror Illusion, the two disappeared from the spot instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he only needed to stall for time to solve the problem, Ryosuke naturally didn't need to fight Hanzo of the Salamander to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke already had enough understanding of Hanzo’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-like, unpredictable close-combat ability, comprehensive and unique ninjutsu, and the group poison gas that was always held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These all constituted Hanzo’s comprehensive and terrifying combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, continuing to fight would probably lead to real fire, so Ryosuke chose to use the camouflage of the Demonic Mirror Illusion to gain enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the three elements of a ninja that every ninja is familiar with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was ninjutsu or genjutsu, in the current ninja world where the Six Paths do not appear, Ryosuke was confident that he had already reached the pinnacle of the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in terms of taijutsu, although he had the blessing of a series of ninjutsu such as Ice Armor and Monstrous Strength, Ryosuke was not weak, but compared to some peak taijutsu experts, he was still somewhat inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this \"inferior\" was also compared to top taijutsu experts like Hanzo of the Salamander or the Third Raikage; if it were an ordinary powerhouse, Ryosuke naturally would not fear them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Eight Inner Gates did not appear, the taijutsu of Hanzo of the Salamander in his prime at this time was enough to dominate the ninja world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful Iaijutsu techniques, plus impeccable agility and strength; in terms of close combat, he feared no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ryosuke had the defense of the ice armor; when facing Hanzo, although Ryosuke would not be defeated, he could only be reduced to being passively beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that long defense will inevitably lead to failure, so once close combat compares taijutsu, Ryosuke would inevitably fall into a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, from beginning to end, Ryosuke’s strategy was to open up the distance and avoid close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he relied on this to give his own ninjutsu and genjutsu room to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Hanzo obviously understood this truth, so he also kept biting at Ryosuke, wanting to drag Ryosuke into close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the normal state where trump cards and ultimate moves are not used, the battle between the two depends on whether they can open up the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before Mizunuki Ryosuke started fighting, he had already transmitted orders to Kisame through consciousness transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, seeing Ryosuke and Hanzo of the Salamander fighting, Kisame Hoshigaki would probably have already been fighting with the Rain ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, since things had changed, Ryosuke took advantage of the time gap gained by the Demonic Mirror Illusion to first issue a \"retreat\" order to Kisame Hoshigaki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he also briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to Kisame Hoshigaki, asking him to bring the news to the remaining two \"confidants\" to avoid causing any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kisame did not hesitate anymore, left the Hanzo residence in the chaos, and executed the retreat order issued by Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, under the Demonic Mirror Illusion, Ryosuke and Tsunade also gained a chance to catch their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade looked toward the surrounding ice mirrors with some surprise; as intelligent as she was, she had already guessed the effect of this technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he knew that the Demonic Mirror Illusion would reveal flaws due to \"sound\" when exposed to the rain, Ryosuke naturally avoided this weakness..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most of the environment here was in an open-air state, there were still many places that could not be invaded by rainwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Ryosuke had already brought Tsunade under the eaves of a Rain ninja building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the perfect camouflage of the Demonic Mirror Illusion, unless Hanzo of the Salamander used indiscriminate large-scale attacks, it would be impossible to be discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet space, in order to avoid making noise and attracting Hanzo of the Salamander’s attention as much as possible, the two even slowed down their breathing frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke, who originally intended to explain the effect of the Demonic Mirror Illusion to Tsunade, saw Tsunade’s state and knew that there was no need for him to say more; Tsunade had already guessed the effect of the Demonic Mirror Illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-17T05:01:41.164Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bbc888dc360e5006cefef5c52bcfbe4ffc83bacf00b2b2bf6871312f3213ae66","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-176","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-174",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
