Chapter 227

This is also the reason why the Jonin are not optimistic about Ryosuke's squad.

Because Mizunuki Ryosuke does not have the combat power ratings that the Kirigakure crowd has in their hands.

How should Mizunuki Ryosuke obtain intelligence?

In this squad battle, there is an extremely critical rule.

That is, the losing side must announce the participants for the next battle in advance.

The announcement of this rule created the prerequisite for the deployment of "tactics" and the acquisition of intelligence.

Because of this, all teams generally try their best to fight for victory in the first battle, trying to avoid "playing their cards" first, and obtaining the convenience of "playing their cards" later.

Coincidentally, the ninja cat squad that Ryosuke's squad is fighting against...

All the ninja cats except Mao Zhizhu have an aura that happens to be just a little bit stronger than the three people in Ryosuke's squad respectively.

Thus, the combat power of the two squads perfectly formed three levels: "superior, medium, and inferior."

And precisely because of this, from the surface, Mizunuki Ryosuke has a chance to create a miracle using "Tian Ji's horse racing."

But how to judge the strength of the participants has become a huge problem; once Ryosuke judges wrongly and plays the wrong card, then Ryosuke's side can basically announce GG in advance.

"Aura" can be completely faked.

Mizunuki Ryosuke himself is an expert in this, so he naturally understands the tricks involved.

And before, the reason why Ryosuke could conclude that Mao Zhizhu was the strongest of the opponent had a reason.

The most important thing is that Mao Zhizhu's provocation upon coming up was too obvious; he had no intention of hiding anything and directly exposed his own strength.

And it was precisely because of this point that this "clash of the strong" between the two sides could proceed so smoothly.

And now, could the three ninja cats on the opposite side whose auras are clearly divided into "strong," "medium," and "weak" be disguised?

At this moment, the opposing ninja cat squad has already announced the next contestant to take the stage.

This is a calico ninja cat that looks extremely thin and weak, but judging from the aura, this ninja cat is the weakest of the three.

But still the same saying, one cannot just look at surface phenomena for everything.

At this time, if they were facing a human squad, the winning percentage of Ryosuke's squad might be less than ten percent, and they could only try their luck.

Because you cannot judge who is strong and who is weak, especially when the strength is close.

But at this moment, the opponent has been changed to a ninja cat squad, which makes everything look very promising.

As mentioned before, the members of the Cat clan are not known for their ninjutsu, but are skilled in Yin-Yang Release techniques.

Yang represents the body.

Yin represents the spirit.

Ninja cats skilled in Yang Release, such as Boss Cat and Mao Zhizhu, look much burlier in body than ordinary ninja cats.

So from the body shape, one can roughly see which direction a ninja cat specializes in.

Among the three ninja cats on the opposite side, only one looks relatively burly in body shape; it should be a ninja cat that practices Yang Release.

Because Ryosuke had previously not only been in contact with the elder Boss Cat who practices Yang Release, but also fought against Mao Zhizhu who practices Yang Release, he had a basic understanding of the strength grading of Yang Release cats.

And this Yang Release cat in the opponent's squad has a body size extremely close to the standard of the "medium horse" in Ryosuke's mind, which is that the strength should be slightly stronger than Terumi Mei.

As for the other two ninja cats, their body shapes are clearly much thinner and weaker; they are clearly ninja cats skilled in Yin Release secret techniques.

These two cats have distinct characteristics: one has an extremely strong aura, second only to Mao Zhizhu, and the other has an extremely weak aura, belonging to the bottom-tier.

Of course, even if this cat's aura is at the bottom of the team, according to Ryosuke's judgment, it is still slightly stronger than Takeda Yoichi.

And now, the one the opponent has sent to the stage is this ninja cat with the weakest aura.

Logically speaking, at this time Mizunuki Ryosuke only needs to send his own "medium horse," Terumi Mei, to meet the opponent's "inferior horse," and he can win by using the Tian Ji horse racing method.

But is everything really like this?

Will the opponent deliberately rely on aura to hide their strength?

You must know that the opponent is a ninja cat that practices the "spirit" attribute, and they are extremely skilled in this path themselves.

A glimmer of sharpness bloomed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Aura can be faked, but there is one thing that cannot.

Let him see what exactly is going on.

The next second, a massive and direct spiritual power surged out from Ryosuke's body, impacting toward the two Yin Release specialist ninja cats on the opposite side.

These are just the purest "Yin Release Power," which is spiritual power.

If you compare spiritual power to gasoline, and the body containing spiritual power to an oil drum...

Then genjutsu and other Yin Release secret techniques are the raging fire ignited by gasoline, full of aggression.

And before being ignited, spiritual power is just oil without any threat.

"Spiritual power" and even "Yin Release Power" are intangible and have no physical form.

Only individuals who come into contact with this power can feel it.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's move right now is like not igniting the gasoline, but directly pouring a truckload of gasoline to impact the opponent's "oil drum containing gasoline."

So this is neither an attack nor does it form a genjutsu, but when this massive spiritual power acts upon the opponent, it will immediately form a round of spiritual power confrontation.

Under the scouring of a massive amount of spiritual power, the "gasoline" inside the opponent's "oil drum" will not be damaged, but under the impact of the gasoline, it is inevitable that it will tremble slightly.

And the stronger the spiritual power, the greater the weight and density of the "gasoline," and naturally the stronger the resistance to spiritual impact.

Individuals with stronger spiritual power are naturally more likely to resist this spiritual impact.

In the entire Ninja World, I am afraid only Ryosuke, who possesses the Spring of Extreme Yin, can release such a massive amount of "Yin Release Power."

The massive spiritual power impacted toward the two ninja cats.

The ninja cat on the arena only had a pause in its eyes, then looked around vigilantly, seemingly wondering about the source of the spiritual impact.

But the ninja cat off the arena had somewhat dull eyes, waiting for a full three seconds before recovering.
