But she didn't dwell on it, just taking it as the comfort Ryosuke gave her at the time of parting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did she know, Ryosuke's eyes at this moment were flickering with strange brilliance, as if he had already determined that the two would reunite in the Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, after the two bid farewell to each other, they used Katsuyu the Sage's Reverse Summoning Jutsu to return to the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even for Katsuyu the Sage, the range of the Reverse Summoning Jutsu was not something that could be used at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only locations where Tsunade had performed the Summoning Jutsu could become coordinates for the Reverse Summoning Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say, Tsunade naturally returned to the Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Mizunuki Ryosuke chose to return to the Rain Nin; originally Tsunade was a bit worried, but thinking of Ryosuke's Magic Mirror Illusion Jutsu, she didn't say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ryosuke returned to the Rain Nin, the location was still Hanzo's mansion in the center of the Rain Nin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Mizunuki Ryosuke appeared, he was immediately surrounded by a group of Rain Nin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the strength of the Rain Nin surrounding Mizunuki Ryosuke was a bit unbearable to look at, and only the leading Rain Nin was barely passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke didn't rush to take action; these small fries could be wiped out with a wave of his hand, but out of respect for Hanzo of the Salamander, taking action rashly might not be very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the leading Rain Nin suddenly stopped his subordinates and said respectfully to Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, Lord Hanzo has already left the village, and he gave me instructions before he left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I see you, I am to give this to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, the leading Rain Nin threw a scroll to Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Click!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke didn't reach out to catch it; instead, a large hand formed of ice caught the scroll in the air and opened it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better safe than sorry; Ryosuke's approach was naturally no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ryosuke opened the seal on the scroll, he quickly read the contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite efficient, aren't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a look of satisfaction flashed in Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content in the scroll was exactly the intelligence Ryosuke needed—that is, the location of Uzumaki Nagato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Hanzo of the Salamander's efficiency, Mizunuki Ryosuke was still quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting away the scroll, Ryosuke didn't say anything more, directly turning into an afterimage and disappearing before the eyes of the Rain Nin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving only the Rain Nin with insufficient strength on the spot to look at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading Rain Nin breathed a sigh of relief; after all, that day, he had personally seen the battle between Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hanzo of the Salamander, and knew deeply that such an opponent was definitely not something they could deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ryosuke left Hanzo's mansion, he quickly went to the safe house set up by the White Shark Unit in the Rain Nin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also saw it; the reason Hanzo's mansion was so empty was probably because Hanzo of the Salamander had launched a full-scale war against the three major nations and led the Rain Nin to the front lines to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Ryosuke urgently needed to fill the gap in intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knock, knock, knock!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke followed his memory and quickly came to an inconspicuous hut in the Rain Nin, knocking on the hut's door quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the house, the three had already been waiting for many days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the noise at the door also made the three inside a bit alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoshigaki Kisame gestured to the two beside him, then got up to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the door, seeing that the visitor was Mizunuki Ryosuke, the heart that Hoshigaki Kisame had been hanging for many days finally let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few reunited, and Hoshigaki Kisame hurriedly greeted Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke just nodded, then got up and entered the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the movement, Kaguya Yuta and Momochi Zabuza also felt relieved and bowed respectfully to Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for small talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During the time I was away, how is the situation in the ninja world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke hurriedly asked Hoshigaki Kisame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, after you left—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Rain Nin chose to declare war on the three major nations: the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire simultaneously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That night, large-scale Rain Nin began to assemble and set off toward the border of the Land of Wind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, the Rain Nin have already started fighting with the Sand Nin in the area bordering the Land of Wind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is still in the probing stage, and both sides have suffered losses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Sand was caught off guard, and with Hanzo of the Salamander personally sitting on the front lines, the Rain Nin now occupy the initiative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides that, the other ninja villages have not yet taken action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kisame reported the current situation of the ninja world to Mizunuki Ryosuke concisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, the war between the Rain Nin and the Sand Nin will continue for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke thought for a moment; he put himself in the position of the Kazekage and thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could guarantee that the Third Kazekage of the Sand was the person with the biggest headache in the entire ninja world right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the Sand Village had just completed a succession not long ago; the Second Kazekage, Shamon, died of illness due to the recurrence of old injuries, and the Third Kazekage had just succeeded to the throne not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every succession of a major ninja village leader meant a turmoil within the ninja village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Third Kazekage's position was not yet stable, and the Rain Nin had caused such a thing; how could he not have a headache?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rain Nin's attack was not scary; what the Sand was probably most worried about was the nearby Rock and Leaf taking advantage of the fire to rob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, the Sand not only had to fight the Rain Nin on the battlefield but also had to guard against sneak attacks from the Rock and the Leaf at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the ninja world, if one said the Third Kazekage was the unluckiest and most faceless Kage in the ninja world, probably no one would refute it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had the title of \"Strongest Kazekage,\" there was probably a sea of water in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he was not only killed silently by the traitor of his own village, Sasori of the Red Sand, but even his corpse was made into a \"handheld figure\" by the other party and carried around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire Naruto plot, the most appearances this \"Strongest Kazekage\" had were as a puppet in Sasori's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had to make people sigh; to be a \"Kage\" to this extent, it could be considered that there was no one else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, when it comes to being Kazekage, there were not many who had a good end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the First and Second, the Third Kazekage was first backstabbed by a traitor, and then his corpse was made into a puppet for people to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was not as miserable as the Third, he was also killed silently by Orochimaru, his identity was obtained by Orochimaru, and he became the fuse for the \"Leaf Destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fifth Kazekage, his Tailed Beast was extracted and he almost died directly, but fortunately, he was given a life-saving boost at the critical moment and survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, the Sand had also completely slumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Kazekage, although the Mizukage of the Mist also didn't have much face, at least there had been excellent Mizukage like the Second, Hozuki Gengetsu, and the Fifth, Terumi Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Sand, they were simply much stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ryosuke had traveled to the Sand back then, he probably would have quit the village and gone solo without a second word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention anything else, being Kazekage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't afford to lose that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who did the Sand send to fight Hanzo of the Salamander?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It shouldn't be the Third Kazekage himself, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke suddenly thought of a key question and turned to ask Kisame.\u003C\u002Fp>",1572,"2026-06-17T05:01:41.164Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3fce24539c3b52dbdb1853c05f652ca628a1db98c02c681ac9715e1442a9803d","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-193","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-191",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
