Chapter 218

At the same time, some Jonin also noticed that the Mizunuki Ryosuke squad, which had disappeared for a long time, actually appeared on the water screen again at this moment.

And this time, they actually skipped the first two levels directly and appeared in the Land of Cats!

"What is going on again?"

Immediately, another voice questioning Ryosuke's squad for cheating sounded from the crowd.

Kuroshima Morita and the others, who did not know the inside story, were also somewhat unable to understand for a while, and thus unclear where to start defending.

Even Maeda Yuanshi frowned.

Before long, it seemed that Maeda Yuanshi received intelligence from the cat clan, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"According to intelligence."

"There is no problem with Ryosuke's squad skipping the level!"

Maeda Yuanshi explained to everyone, and at the same time briefly and concisely explained that Ryosuke's squad had completed a top-secret event inside the rock cave, and therefore received the courtesy of the cat clan.

The Jonin then observed the state of Ryosuke's squad one after another.

Seeing that Takeda Yoichi had already been found, and Terumi Mei seemed to be seriously injured, they all recognized Maeda Yuanshi's explanation one after another.

After all, the injuries on Terumi Mei's body could not be faked; it could be seen that Ryosuke and the others should have experienced a fierce battle.

However, some Jonin still had doubts, but with Maeda Yuanshi's endorsement, these Jonin could only temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts.

Subsequently, the assessment continued.

But the performance of the three squads had already given different evaluations in the hearts of every Jonin.

Land of Cats.

After reporting the situation of the mist area to the Cat King.

Boss Cat came over again and told Ryosuke about the third level assessment.

The third level assessment would be carried out by several squads simultaneously.

So during the period when other teams had not arrived, Ryosuke's squad had to wait for other teams that had completed the first two levels of assessment.

Therefore, Ryosuke's squad obtained a valuable opportunity to rest.

In a flash, three days passed.

Due to the ninja's constitution, plus Ryosuke's meticulous care at all times, Terumi Mei's injuries healed very quickly.

During this period.

What was unexpected was that Mizunuki Eiro's team actually completed the assessment before the extremely powerful Hozuki squad.

It turned out that not only the maze of the first level, but even during the mountain climbing process of the second level.

Mizunuki Eiro's team seemed to know some information in advance; they chose an extremely secret passage and actually did not encounter any severe difficulties before arriving at the mountainside where the Land of Cats was located.

Logically speaking, Mizunuki Eiro did not meet the conditions for entering the Land of Cats.

But I don't know what means he used, he actually passed the second level assessment of the Land of Cats.

On the contrary, Hozuki Mangetsu, who climbed the mountain through normal channels on the other side, could simply be said to have experienced thousands of difficulties and dangers.

During the mountain climbing process, the Hozuki squad encountered countless strange assessments.

For example: within the specified time, one must defeat a ninja cat blocking the way.

For another example: one must collect clues during the mountain climbing process and crack the mystery given by a certain ninja cat.

And for another example, a ninja cat actually directly proposed to let someone in the Hozuki squad jump off the cliff directly...

These various assessments, the Hozuki squad actually completed them all.

Finally, when arriving at the mountainside position, the Hozuki squad also undoubtedly passed the test.

But the Hozuki squad spent a full three days passing the first two levels.

During this period, the Hozuki squad's performance also conquered many Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, who believed that Hozuki Mangetsu had merits in terms of strength, courage, and perseverance.

As for Mizunuki Eiro...

It could only be said that justice is in people's hearts, and the Jonin were not blind.

Waiting for the Hozuki squad to arrive at the Land of Cats, the third level assessment officially started.

Fortunately, within three days, Terumi Mei's injuries had already recovered more than half, and there was no major problem.

Finally, this day.

The three squads received notification from the messenger of the Land of Cats respectively, and would be led to participate in the third year assessment.

Following the leading ninja cat, the three squads entered the mountain belly of the mountain peak from different entrances respectively.

Almost at the same time, the three squads arrived at the scene where the assessment was about to be conducted.

In the mountain belly, a huge space like a colosseum appeared before everyone's eyes.

On both sides of the colosseum, countless ninja cats had already occupied both sides respectively, staring intently at the three squads appearing in the center of the colosseum.

Ryosuke scanned the surroundings.

A rough estimate was at least several thousand ninja cats.

Seeing such a situation, Mizunuki Ryosuke felt a jolt in his heart.

Based on the strength displayed at the moment, the strength of the cat clan was already no less than some medium-sized ninja villages.

It seemed that the cat clan should belong to the race second only to the three great holy lands among the summoning beasts in the ninja world.

Seeing this, the twelve members of the three squads had different expressions, but they all guessed in what form the next assessment would be conducted.

The captains of the three squads looked at each other respectively.

This was also the first time Mizunuki Ryosuke, Hozuki Mangetsu, and Mizunuki Eiro met after leaving the Hidden Mist Village.

After three days of recuperation, the members of Ryosuke's squad were all in high spirits, and it was impossible to see that they had experienced any hardships.

And the Mizunuki Eiro squad on the other side was roughly the same.

Looking at the Hozuki squad again, except for the captain Hozuki Mangetsu, the remaining three members all looked somewhat embarrassed.

Especially the user of the Blunt Sword. Kabutowari, Ameyuri Ringo, one arm had already been injured, and after simple bandaging, it was hung on the neck.

The three were looking at each other.

Hozuki Mangetsu did not look at Mizunuki Eiro on the side at all, but only looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with burning eyes, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Mizunuki Ryosuke also just gave a polite smile to Hozuki Mangetsu, then did not make any expression, and also directly ignored Mizunuki Eiro.

Seeing this situation, although Mizunuki Eiro was indifferent on the surface, his hands had already been clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of unwilling anger.

"Just wait, you two!"

"Only I, Mizunuki Eiro, can achieve the final victory!!!"

Mizunuki Eiro said in his heart, while his face became somewhat distorted.

As this assessment proceeded to this point, the three squads each had a certain understanding of the assessment.

At this moment, in terms of intelligence, Ryosuke still occupied an absolute advantage.

In terms of overall squad strength, Hozuki Mangetsu and Mizunuki Eiro were both one step ahead of Ryosuke.

But among them, although Hozuki Mangetsu's team strength was powerful, their state and what they held in their hands were the worst.

Now, from the perspective of God, the three squads were actually in a strange state of fairness.

Under the gaze of ten thousand cats, two ninja cats walked to the middle of the three squads, one on the left and one on the right.

One of the cats was an acquaintance of Ryosuke and the others, the cat clan Elder known as the "Devil Muscle Cat," Boss Cat.

The other cat was relatively unfamiliar; if Boss Cat was the ultimate burly and sturdy among cats.

Then this cat was the ultimate coordination and keenness; this cat should be another situation completely opposite to Boss Cat.

Being able to appear on stage with Boss Cat meant that this ninja cat should have the same status as Boss Cat within the cat clan, which was—Cat Clan Elder.
