Chapter 219

"Everyone, welcome to the Land of Cats."

"I am the Lynx Elder of the ninja cat clan, and this one beside me has the same status as me."

"Next, we will be responsible for conducting the assessment for you all."

"As long as you can pass our assessment, you will be able to meet our King directly and get what you want."

The narrow and slender Lynx Elder squinted his eyes and said to everyone; through some kind of Yin Release secret technique, his voice was enough to cover the whole field, allowing all ninja cats to hear clearly.

The ninja cats revealed excited expressions; for the cat clan that loved to play, such a scene was not common.

At the same time, the Lynx Elder looked at Mizunuki Eiro in the crowd extremely obscurely, as if there was another meaning.

The Lynx Elder's gaze was extremely obscure; except for Mizunuki Ryosuke, who had been staring at him, it seemed that no one else discovered it.

Seeing this, a trace of depth flashed in Ryosuke's eyes.

Sure enough, when he saw the state of Mizunuki Eiro's team, he felt that there was another problem in it.

Now looking at it, it was really so.

Whether it was personal strength or team strength, Mizunuki Eiro's team was far behind the Hozuki squad.

There was no reason why Hozuki Mangetsu was so embarrassed after breaking through the first two levels, while Mizunuki Eiro looked like a person who had nothing to do.

This could not be solved by a simple "luck."

So there was only one answer.

Since Mizunuki Ryosuke could get Boss Cat's help to skip the first two levels in one fell swoop, then perhaps Mizunuki Eiro also had some connection with a certain high-level person in the cat clan, and thus got the other party's help; this was not impossible.

Now it seemed that it was very likely that the one helping Mizunuki Eiro behind the scenes was this Lynx Elder.

"This is interesting..."

Mizunuki Ryosuke squinted his eyes; under Boss Cat's advance notification, Ryosuke already knew the form of the assessment.

Then presumably Mizunuki Eiro should also have known the content of the next level.

It looked like only Hozuki Mangetsu was still kept in the dark.

"Next, I will announce the specific rules."

"Since you all came to the Land of Cats in the form of squads, our side will also respond to you all in the form of squads."

"We will send three squads composed entirely of ninja cats to fight against your squad members respectively."

"The winning side can send one person to choose to challenge one of me and the Elder beside me."

"As long as you can pass our test, you will obtain the qualification to meet our King."

The Lynx Elder said slowly, and the general rules were about the same as Ryosuke's estimation.

"For the sake of fairness."

"The battle will be conducted in a one-on-one form."

"Each member within the team can only appear once."

"Add a rule."

"The losing side of each battle must be the first to send out the members for the next battle."

Finally, the Lynx Elder announced all the rules, and then jumped out of the colosseum with the Boss Cat beside him, leaving the venue to the three squads.

Upon hearing this seemingly useless supplementary rule, a flash of sharpness burst out in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

As the two Elders left, a few cats appeared, using ninjutsu to divide the colosseum into three parts, just separating the three squads respectively, forming three arenas.

At the same time, in the three directions of the colosseum, three squads with completely different auras entered the field respectively.

The three ninja cat squads sent by the cat clan to assess everyone also looked extremely interesting.

But judging from the configuration of these three ninja cat squads, the cat clan's test could be considered to have brought "fairness" to the extreme.

Judging from the physical characteristics of these ninja cats and the aura emitted from their bodies, one could faintly judge the strength of these ninja cats.

The four ninja cats that Ryosuke's squad was fighting against, the aura on the leading one was extremely formidable, and it should be the strongest among all the ninja cats that appeared.

And the remaining three beside the strongest were weaker.

This also extremely conformed to the configuration of Ryosuke's squad.

Similarly, on Mizunuki Eiro's side, among the four ninja cats, two had auras slightly weaker than the remaining two.

It just corresponded to the configuration of two Jonin and two Elite Jonin in Mizunuki Eiro's squad.

Finally, on Hozuki Mangetsu's side, the auras of the four ninja cats were all extremely formidable, which could also be considered the one with the strongest balanced strength.

After knowing the level of the opponents and the cat clan's arrangements, a trace of interest flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Mizunuki Ryosuke originally thought that this level mainly examined combat power.

Just didn't expect that the cat clan would arrange it like this; the one-on-one battle method and the strength distribution in the team made it possible to manipulate the outcome with "tactics."

To advance, one must win at least three victories in the battle.

Besides competing in strength, it seemed there were other ways.

Thinking of this, a trace of sharpness flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

"Since everyone understands the rules, let's start directly."

As everyone was in place, the Lynx Elder directly announced the start of the competition.

On Mizunuki Ryosuke's side, the opponent's first appearance was a trump card, directly sending out the strongest ninja cat in the squad.

It could be seen that this was a ninja cat that was quite combative.

Although it could not be compared with Boss Cat who was watching from the side, compared with other ninja cats, this ninja cat's body was much larger.

At the same time, a strong fighting spirit burst out from this ninja cat; his eyes were staring tightly at Mizunuki Ryosuke, without the slightest retreat, and his purpose was also very direct, as if he wanted to challenge the strongest in Ryosuke's squad.

"Interesting."

A trace of a smile appeared in Ryosuke's eyes.

Simply not hesitating, he stepped into the arena directly.

Seeing Ryosuke was going to appear, the remaining three in the squad stepped back one after another; they had absolute trust in Mizunuki Ryosuke's strength.

Hidden Mist Village, the Jonin watching the battle through the Water Screen Technique raised their spirits one after another, watching the competition on the water screen intently.

After tossing and turning for so many days, they finally waited for the main event.

The Jonin were all excited, waiting for the performance of the three squads.

Only Maeda Yuanshi's eyes were flickering, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke in the screen.

Few people knew that this level was actually arranged by Maeda Yuanshi himself.

"Wanting to shoulder the name of Mizukage cannot be done by force alone."

"Will, belief, perseverance, tolerance, strength, resourcefulness..."

"These are all indispensable."

"Ryosuke, let me see how far you can actually go!"

Maeda Yuanshi said secretly in his heart, while sending a document to all the Jonin sitting there.

"What is this?"

The Jonin were all startled, and after reading it, they understood the content of the information in it respectively.

This was actually a detailed document of the two sides fighting on the screen, which summarized the combat power of a total of twelve people and twelve cats according to different combat powers.

Most of the combat powers of the two sides were extremely average.

But when a ninja turned to Ryosuke's squad and the ninja cat they were fighting against, he couldn't help but frown.

Squad evaluation.

Hidden Mist

Mizunuki Ryosuke: Strength Rating S+

Mizunuki Hikohiko: Strength Rating B+

Terumi Mei: Strength Rating B

Takeda Yoichi: Strength Rating B-

Land of Cats

Mao Zhizhu: Strength Rating S-

Cat (Wang Hao Zhao) One: Strength Rating A-

Cat Two: Strength Rating B+

Cat Three: Strength Rating B

A Jonin was surprised to find that the ninja cat team fighting against Ryosuke's squad, except for Ryosuke's rating being higher than the opponent, the strength of the other members of the squad was completely crushed by the opponent.

"Squad Leader Maeda, is such an arrangement somewhat unfair to Ryosuke's squad?"
