Chapter 240

Mizukage Building, Kirigakure Office.

Mizunuki Ryosuke very casually put his legs on the desk in front of him, holding a cup of hot tea with both hands, and took a sip with ease and contentment.

And behind him, a pair of soft, small hands were gently massaging him; for a moment, it was truly comfortable.

Since the outbreak of the ninja world war, it is no exaggeration to say that Kirigakure has been making money every day.

Under Ryosuke's foresight, Kirigakure had stored a huge amount of supplies in advance and established a large number of institutions to produce war supplies.

Just the huge trade with the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Iron every day made Kirigakure full of money.

Not only that, the turmoil in the ninja world caused many displaced people to come to the Land of Water for refuge, and the influx of a large population also brought a large amount of labor.

The interior of the Land of Water fell into a rare prosperous situation for a time.

With money, naturally, there is everything.

Not only has the treatment of the original Kirigakure ninjas been improved, but the base number of ninjas in the village is steadily growing, and Kirigakure's strength is also steadily improving.

Having experienced the depression of the Third Mizukage period and the Kirigakure ninjas after the rebellion of Yagura Karatachi, they all know that this life is hard-won, so they also respect and thank Mizunuki Ryosuke, who led the village to development, from the bottom of their hearts.

The prestige of the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, has long reached a peak within Kirigakure.

In everyone's eyes, Mizunuki Ryosuke is a good Mizukage who is dedicated and works hard for Kirigakure, sacrificing his life at all times.

And what few people know is that this Mizukage-sama's biggest hobby is slacking off during work hours.

"A little lower, yes, yes, that's it."

Mizunuki Ryosuke, while directing the small hands massaging him from behind, looked at his watch with ease and waited to get off work.

"It's already 11: 5, five more minutes until I get off work."

Thinking of this, a trace of satisfaction grew in his heart.

For a "worker," nothing is more comfortable than getting off work on time.

"Slap!"

But who knew, Mizunuki Ryosuke's pushing his luck seemed to annoy the beauty behind him, and a small hand as white as jade slapped his shoulder heavily without ceremony.

Ryosuke was suddenly startled awake, turned his head, and revealed a sheepish expression.

Because the massage was a bit too comfortable, Mizunuki Ryosuke "showed his true colors," and in a trance, he found a little feeling from his previous life, and for a moment, he actually forgot the identity of the person serving him behind him.

The young girl in a white dress was staring at him with black and white eyes, and her beautiful, gentle cheeks also carried a bit of faint anger.

"That..."

"It's mainly because Ren's technique is too professional, I couldn't help it, it was involuntary."

Ryosuke said sheepishly to Mizunuki Ren behind him, but received a roll of the eyes from Ren.

Originally, Mizunuki Ren just heard that the Mizukage's work was hard, and feeling sorry for Mizunuki Ryosuke, she taught herself massage techniques and chose to come to visit today, wanting to relieve Ryosuke's fatigue when he was working hard.

But who knew this guy would get addicted as soon as she started, causing her to massage for a whole morning.

And this guy Ryosuke kept pushing his luck, which also caused a bit of annoyance in Mizunuki Ren's heart.

"Humph, this is the daily routine of the dignified Fourth Mizukage-sama."

Mizunuki Ren said angrily, her eyes, like autumn water, carrying a bit of annoyance.

Seeing that Ren seemed to be really getting angry, Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes rolled, and a bit of depth appeared in his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

"Ah!!!"

He grabbed Ren's soft hand and pulled her into his embrace, startling Mizunuki Ren into an exclamation.

"You, you, you!!!"

Ren's small face turned red instantly, and the anger on her cheeks disappeared without a trace.

After the "surprise attack," the caught-off-guard Mizunuki Ren instantly lost all defense, lying in Ryosuke's arms, feeling uneasy.

Afterwards, Mizunuki Ryosuke brought his face slightly closer to Mizunuki Ren's delicate face, staring straight into Ren's eyes without blinking.

"Ryosuke..."

Mizunuki Ren murmured at a loss, the faint anger in her eyes had long since dissipated, replaced by a lingering shyness.

Ren's heart was already pounding like a deer; reason told her that this was a restricted area of Kirigakure, the Mizukage's office, and she could not maintain such a posture with Mizunuki Ryosuke here.

But emotion made Mizunuki Ren somewhat indulge in Ryosuke's embrace.

At a very close distance, the breathing of the two could be heard clearly; Mizunuki Ryosuke slowly raised a finger and tucked a strand of Ren's messy hair behind her head.

"Your hair is messy, let me tidy it up for you."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said softly; the gentle tone and expression made Ren not only more shy.

But seeing that Mizunuki Ryosuke really had no intention of going further, there was a hint of disappointment in her heart.

Just at this moment.

"Knock, knock!!!"

A hurried knock on the door suddenly sounded, disrupting the romance between the two.

With a "whoosh," Ren instantly got up from Ryosuke's arms, her small face turning as red as a tomato.

Ren quickly tidied up her slightly messy dress and stood behind Ryosuke at a loss.

Compared to Ren's panic, Mizunuki Ryosuke was calm; he raised his head unhurriedly and said.

"Please come in."

Subsequently, a plain-looking middle-aged ninja pushed the door open and walked in.

This person is also Ryosuke's old subordinate, the current Jonin squad leader of Kirigakure, Kuroshima Morita.

And just as Kuroshima Morita entered the door, Ryosuke deliberately acted mischievously, pulling Mizunuki Ren, who had just stood up, back into his arms.

"Ah..."

Mizunuki Ren's heartbeat suddenly stopped, she exclaimed subconsciously, and then immediately covered her small mouth with her small hand.

"Squad Leader Morita, is there anything?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke held Mizunuki Ren naturally like this, smiling at Kuroshima Morita who had entered.

"Ryosuke-sama, and Ren-shoji is also here."

Kuroshima Morita saw the two acting intimately and did not show any surprise, but instead revealed a smile that "all men understand." 747

"Ugh..."

At this moment, Mizunuki Ren, whose shyness had reached its peak, could no longer care about Kuroshima Morita; she could only bury her face in Ryosuke's chest like an ostrich.

"Sama, news just came from the Mist Anbu."

"Saying that an envoy from Kumogakure has come to see you, I specifically came to inform you."

Kuroshima Morita went straight to the point.

After hearing Kuroshima Morita's words, a flash of strangeness also crossed Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

"What is the identity of this envoy?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke asked in turn.

"He is an important member of Kumogakure, he calls himself 'Bee'."

Kuroshima Morita said in a serious tone.

Hearing this name, Ryosuke also roughly understood the other party's status in Kumogakure.

At the beginning of the establishment of Kumogakure, the "AB Combination" of Kumogakure became famous in the ninja world, which is the so-called "A and Bee."

The "AB Combination" is not just a combat combination with combined combat power, but also a position passed down from generation to generation among the high-level officials of Kumogakure.

As everyone knows, every Raikage of Kumogakure is called "A," which is the "A" in the "AB" combination.

The Bee who visited this time is the "Bee" in the "AB" combination.

Just like every Raikage is named "A," every ninja who inherits this duty of "Bee" is named "Bee."

And the duty of Bee is to exist as an assistant and guard to the Raikage.

It is equivalent to the second-in-command of the ninja village.
