after speaking, her gaze shifted to Bee nearby, and the killing intent in her eyes was not concealed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm, I think so too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Terumi Mei’s words, Ringo Ameyuri hurriedly expressed agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Terumi Mei, but Ringo Ameyuri’s gaze toward Bee was also filled with fighting spirit and killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, several large “#” symbols appeared on Mizunuki Mitsuhiko’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Mitsuhiko argued with Terumi Mei without any politeness, almost exactly the same as when they were teammates before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, other observing ninjas looked at each other, none of them having the intention to step forward to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in terms of strength, identity, or status, these three were far beyond what ordinary Jonin could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the disciple of the Fourth Mizukage and the current clan head of the Mizunuki clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was an old subordinate of the Fourth Mizukage and a talent whom the Fourth Mizukage currently valued and cultivated very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And another was a disciple of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and a genius ninja within Cloud Hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these three fighting in this round, other Mist Ninjas would not have any objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the opposite side of the three, Bee stared at the three ninjas who were young to an excessive degree, a trace of depth flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that the strength of these three was likely above that of the previous Mizunuki Shinichi; although he had enough confidence to deal with these three, he would likely have to put in some effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t matter; what mattered was the age of the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three people were simply too young!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being young meant that the three still possessed the possibility of infinite growth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be seen with the naked eye that none of these three were over twenty years old; possessing such strength at this age, it was impossible to predict what kind of future the three would have later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost certain that as long as they didn’t fall, they would all become pillars of the village in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, although Bee was also young, the twenty-six-year-old Bee was clearly a generation older than the three before him; fighting against ninjas at this stage was undoubtedly “the big bullying the small.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is this the foundation of the Hidden Mist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bee sighed faintly in his heart, feeling the unfathomable nature of the Hidden Mist once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like his next opponent would be one of these three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bee braced himself in his heart, while observing the characteristics of the three to facilitate the upcoming battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers dispersed tacitly, making way for a passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen Mist Mist Anbu ninjas wearing masks appeared around the training ground in a flash, surrounding the training ground tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin and handsome figure slowly walked from the passage made by the crowd to the edge of the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this handsome, somewhat feminine face, a hint of awe flashed in the eyes of everyone around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother Mangetsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mist Anbu Commander Hozuki\" X2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Yuki Mitsuhiko, Terumi Mei, or Ringo Ameyuri, they all greeted the newcomer respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was none other than the current Mist Anbu Commander of the Hidden Mist, the close friend and heavy minister under the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke—Hozuki Mangetsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind Hozuki Mangetsu followed three figures carrying long swords of various colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were none other than three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—Akebino Jinin, Kuriarare Kushimaru, and Hozuki Mangetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire Hidden Mist, Hozuki Mangetsu was also one of the few existences who could discuss matters with Mizunuki Ryosuke on an equal footing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Hozuki Mangetsu just nodded, then stood aside, swept a cold glance at Bee in the field, and then closed his eyes without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this one glance made Bee face a formidable enemy, and his whole body suddenly tensed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A master! This was definitely a master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bee directly pulled his vigilance to the max in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that after a series of provocations, he had finally provoked a master of the Hidden Mist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Hozuki Mangetsu, Bee's mood was incomparably heavy because he found that the other party just standing there made him feel very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Mizukage assessment two thousand years ago, Mist Anbu Commander Hozuki Mangetsu had rarely made a move; perhaps only Mizunuki Ryosuke alone knew how strong Hozuki Mangetsu was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bee knew that if Hozuki Mangetsu really made a move, he would probably be in big trouble today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bee could prepare himself mentally to fight Hozuki Mangetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A commotion was triggered in the crowd again, and two more roads were cleared...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people walked up separately; one had no eyebrows, a burly figure, and an overbearing and tragic aura emanated from his whole body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other had a thin and tall figure, with shark-gill-like scars on his face, and carried a large sword wrapped in white bandages on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two did not conceal themselves either; the moment they saw Bee, two completely different killing intents enveloped Bee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a trance, Bee seemed to see a bloody great white shark in the ocean and a violent demon ape in the mountains walking toward him respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bee's fists were tightly clenched together; although the pressure these two brought him was not as great as the previously appeared Hozuki Mangetsu, they still emanated a pressure that made him feel threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Bee's eyes were already heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A master of this level could be considered a rare existence even within the Cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the Cloud's \"AB Combination,\" that is, himself and his old man, Bee couldn't think of anyone within the Cloud who could contend with these people before him for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, until now, the most mysterious Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist had still not appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the high-end combat power of the Hidden Mist was already so large that it was shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the current strength or the foundation, the strength of the Hidden Mist made Bee's heart feel tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it, who exactly will it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bee guessed secretly in his heart, who would be the person to fight him next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also knew that he had truly underestimated the Hidden Mist; under such combat power interception, it was impossible for him to see the Fourth Mizukage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the arrow had already been fired, and things had reached this point (2.2), Bee had no way back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mist Anbu Commander.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two first greeted Hozuki Mangetsu separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Hozuki Mangetsu just opened his eyes slowly, and then nodded to the two to signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As heavy ministers under Ryosuke, the few met quite often on weekdays, plus the meetings during work, the few were all acquaintances with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother Kisame, Big Brother Yuta.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuki Mitsuhiko followed closely and greeted the two very politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Head Yuki.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was a formal occasion, both chose a more formal address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing the three arrive, Yuki Mitsuhiko also tactfully took Terumi Mei and Ringo Ameyuri back a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they knew that the matter of fighting had nothing to do with them anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>",1292,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T05:05:38.859Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bfc6a805c76bff5790f70fdce39e990ec55edfff1d03a0811e5631f3023835a7","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-260","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-258",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
