Chapter 259: , A Miraculous Reversal

In order to distinguish whether this was reality or a dream, a Jonin in Kirigakure Village unceremoniously reached out and slapped his companion on the face.

"Smack!"

The loud sound not only brought the group of Kirigakure Jonin back to their senses, but also made the slapped Jonin furious.

"What are you doing!"

After the slapped Jonin finished scolding, the Jonin beside him still said blankly.

"Tell me quickly, is this real?"

This Jonin's words also voiced everyone's inner thoughts, making everyone feel a sense of unreality.

High-end summoning beasts are hard to come by; this is almost common knowledge in the Ninja World.

"Summoning beasts" even once became rare goods in the Ninja World; even among the majority of Jonin present, almost no one had signed a contract with a summoning beast.

If they could, who wouldn't want a powerful summoning beast?

Since the three squads entered the Land of Cats, the Jonin had seen the strength of the Ninja Cats clearly.

Although the Ninja Cats didn't seem to possess Ninjutsu abilities, their special Yin-Yang Jutsu abilities were enough to make them the most excellent summoning beasts!

Not to mention, Ninja Cats that mastered Yang Jutsu were born qualified medical experts.

Ask yourself, who wouldn't want to keep a doctor by their side at all times while performing missions?

In the Ninja World, there is no doubt that medical ninjas are an extremely scarce resource.

Even many years later, in the Ninja World, only Konoha Village, under the advocacy of Tsunade Senju, established a medical ninja system.

And other ninja villages still hadn't made any achievements in the field of medical ninjas.

After all, not every ninja village has a Hokage who is proficient in medical ninjutsu.

Now, after a series of Ryosuke's vague conversations, the Cat King of the Land of Cats actually agreed to support Kirigakure with one hundred Ninja Cats as summoning beasts every year?

Compared with such generous conditions, the conditions Mizunuki Ryosuke agreed to earlier now all seemed acceptable!

Especially the few Jonin who were clamoring to punish Ryosuke just now; their breathing was now a bit rapid, and their eyes looking at the water screen revealed a hint of greed.

The entire Kirigakure now has at most a hundred or so Jonin.

If Kirigakure really reaches a deal with the Land of Cats, this means that all the Jonin present have a high probability of obtaining a Ninja Cat summoning beast through distribution.

And in the future, Kirigakure can obtain support of one hundred Ninja Cats from the Ninja Cat clan every year, which is equivalent to Kirigakure never having to worry about summoning beasts again.

This will be a huge boost to the strength of the village's ninjas! And almost everyone can benefit from it.

At this moment, Ryosuke's previous "criminal acts" have all become "meritorious" performances.

As for whether Mizunuki Ryosuke has the right to represent the village in making this decision?

Who cares about this problem now?! Isn't a Ninja Cat summoning beast wonderful?

If someone stood up now and said Mizunuki Ryosuke was not qualified to make this decision, fifty Jonin would immediately slam the table and stand up to argue with him.

But there is still one point, which is that no one has figured out what exactly is going on.

How did the Cat King suddenly agree to Ryosuke's such "excessive" request?

The Jonin looked towards the shrewd Maeda Yuanshi one after another; they didn't know until they looked, and they were shocked when they did.

This Jonin Squad Leader, who is known for his "zombie face" and "stiff rigidity," now has a stiff and ugly smile on his old face.

Although this smile is ugly, or even to put it bluntly, it's enough to scare disobedient children in the middle of the night.

But basically all the Jonin can see that Maeda Yuanshi is very happy, and can even be said to have never been so happy before.

Although Maeda Yuanshi remained silent, he pointed his hand at the water screen while smiling, signaling that the Jonin could find the answer from it.

So everyone stopped talking nonsense and cast their gazes into the water screen.

Land of Cats, Cat King's Palace.

At this moment, the dust has settled, and the Cat King has also lifted the "silence" effect on Hozuki Mangetsu.

"How did you do it?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

Two exclamations and questions were asked by Hozuki Mangetsu in succession.

The current result undoubtedly directly indicated Hozuki Mangetsu's defeat, but his heart was not filled with much disappointment, but rather with surprise and questions.

He really didn't understand why such a result would appear.

Seeing the surprised expression of Hozuki Mangetsu before him, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't feel strange.

In fact, when he initially guessed this result, he was also taken aback.

Since the dust has settled, it wouldn't hurt to announce the result.

So Mizunuki Ryosuke told Hozuki Mangetsu everything in front of the Cat King.

It turned out that as early as the moment he received this S-rank mission, Mizunuki Ryosuke was full of doubts about it.

The danger level of an S-rank mission goes without saying; is it a bit too risky to use such a level of mission as the standard for the Mizukage assessment?

Given the danger level of an S-rank mission, it is very likely that all three squads would be wiped out.

You must know that Ryosuke and the other two are the three most suitable candidates to inherit the Mizukage position in the vast Kirigakure Village; if they all have an accident, Kirigakure Village will have no hope left.

If he hadn't already established a connection with Uchiha Madara and killed Hozuki Suigetsu, Mizunuki Ryosuke might have suspected that this was Madara's conspiracy.

But since it was determined that this matter did not come from Uchiha Madara, Ryosuke naturally guessed the deep meaning behind it.

At that time, Mizunuki Ryosuke made two judgments.

Either the so-called "S-rank" was just a facade, and everything was just for the sake of selecting the Mizukage.

Or the village could control the danger level of the mission to avoid accidents during the mission.

With this as a premise, it is not difficult to guess that everything was just for the "Mizukage Assessment."

Furthermore, Ryosuke also guessed that with just a relatively rigid and general mission, how could the village judge who is the suitable candidate for Mizukage?

Whoever brings back the Mizukage Secret Scroll is the Mizukage? ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
