Chapter 231

Soon, the answer appeared on the water screen.

In the Jonin seating area, Kuroshima Morita stood up with a "swish," his complexion looking extremely ugly.

Because the one the opponent sent was clearly the Yin Release cat with the lowest strength in the team.

That is to say, the situation of "inferior horse" against "superior horse" appeared again.

Mizunuki Mitsuhiko stared at his opponent, a black cat that looked full of momentum.

The moment the opponent took the stage, Mizunuki Mitsuhiko's focus instantly rose to the highest level.

Since joining Ryosuke's squad, perhaps Mizunuki Mitsuhiko's overall strength improvement has not been great.

But at this moment, Mitsuhiko's mindset had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

The arrogance and conceit brought from the clan in the past had already become low-key and humble under Ryosuke's subtle teaching.

Whether it was the Rock Ninja incident back then or the Mist incident that happened not long ago, they all told Mizunuki Mitsuhiko:

The Ninja World is very big, and he is very weak.

Despising the opponent is equivalent to despising one's own life.

The moment the battle began, Mizunuki Mitsuhiko directly threw out a few ice kunai, then used the Water Clone Jutsu, pulling distance from the opponent to the left and right simultaneously.

"Swish, swish, swish!!!"

After quickly forming hand seals, Mizunuki Mitsuhiko used his most proficient ninjutsu.

Water Release: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!!

A large amount of high-pressure water flow, as fine as silver needles, was spat out from Mitsuhiko's mouth, shooting toward the opponent.

Under Mizunuki Mitsuhiko's high-density attack, the black cat was suppressed as soon as he took the stage.

Forced into a corner, the fur on the black cat's body suddenly surged, and then a large amount of fur surrounded the black cat in the middle; at first glance, it looked like a hedgehog.

The black cat's surging fur had quite good defensive power, blocking the Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death from Mizunuki Mitsuhiko.

But when the black cat came out from the tightened fur again, the whole cat instantly became tense.

A full twenty-four ice mirrors had already surrounded him in the center, and in each ice mirror, there was a figure of Mizunuki Mitsuhiko.

Secret Technique: Twenty-Four Ice Mirror Barrage!

In an instant, twenty-four Mizunuki Mitsuhikos drilled out from the ice mirrors simultaneously, killing toward the black cat.

The black cat was immediately at a loss; in a panic, he could only launch an attack at random, destroying two of Mitsuhiko's illusions.

The next second, a kunai supported by ice had already appeared at the black cat's neck.

"You lost."

Just three cold words declared the black cat's complete failure.

Under the gap in strength, the Yin Release he was most proficient in didn't even have a chance to be used.

Mizunuki Mitsuhiko's victory was crisp, clean, and not dragging at all.

This also made Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was watching the battle off the stage, nod with satisfaction.

After three battles, Ryosuke's squad had two wins and one loss.

In the final battle, the ninjas from both squads who were also at the middle level would decide the winner.

And in the strength assessment of the crowd of Kirigakure Jonin, the opponent's ninja cat skilled in Yang Release had "B+" strength, while Ryosuke's squad's Terumi Mei only had a "B" rating.

In this battle, from the perspective of intelligence, Ryosuke's squad stood on the side of the disadvantage.

But to this, Ryosuke clearly didn't feel any panic; before he sent Mitsuhiko to the stage, he had already prepared to face this result.

A true strong person will not entrust everything to ethereal luck.

Since only the last person is left, there is naturally no saying of who goes first and who goes later.

Before taking the stage, Mizunuki Ryosuke came to Terumi Mei's side.

"Mei, the final outcome of the battle is entrusted to you."

"Come on, I believe in you."

Ryosuke did not put too much pressure on Terumi Mei, but comforted her in a gentle tone.

"Captain Ryosuke, don't worry."

"Betting everything I have, I will definitely bring back the final victory!"

Terumi Mei said with a determined gaze, a hint of resolution in her eyes.

Seemingly seeing the resolution in Terumi Mei's eyes, Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled and touched her head.

"Don't push yourself too hard."

Under Mizunuki Ryosuke's gentle touch, Terumi Mei's pretty face suddenly became somewhat rosy.

"Take this; this is an amulet that symbolizes good luck."

Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled and took out an amulet condensed from ice from his bosom, and wore it on Terumi Mei's beautiful neck.

"Mm!"

After Terumi Mei nodded seriously, she took two or three steps onto the arena.

Looking at Terumi Mei's back, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at Boss Cat in the distance without changing his expression.

If it weren't for Boss Cat secretly lending a helping hand just now, Mao Zhizhu would have been KO'd by Ryosuke with one punch long ago.

Now, Ryosuke can be considered to have settled the score.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face.

Final battle, Terumi Mei VS Yang Release cat!

The result of this competition also determines the fate of whether Ryosuke's squad can advance.

After standing on the arena, Terumi Mei only felt endless courage surging from the bottom of her heart.

In a trance, she recalled the helplessness of seeing Ryosuke's back as he left when they encountered the Rock Ninja.

The self-blame of only being able to lie in Ryosuke's arms when in the Mist area.

And just now, the trust Ryosuke placed in her when he entrusted her with the task.

These all made Terumi Mei determined that even if she had to bet her life, she must bring back the victory of this battle!!

She slowly reached her hand to her chest, touching the cold necklace on her neck.

For a moment, Terumi Mei even felt that her thin body was much heavier at this moment.

This weight comes from Mizunuki Ryosuke's entrustment.
