Chapter 26

The chief referee Tian Yuanshi spoke again.

This also fits the consistent position of this Jonin squad leader, muddling through between the Anbu leader and the Mizukage.

Hearing this, Hozuki Mangetsu and Mizunuki Taki both remained silent.

After Mizunuki Taki closed his eyes and thought for a while, he opened his eyes and said slowly.

"That's fine."

Seeing the Mizukage compromise, Hozuki Mangetsu also stopped while he was ahead and said no more.

Originally, this was just a casual move by Hozuki Mangetsu; now that he could disgust Mizunuki Taki, he was already satisfied.

Just like that, this Jonin promotion ended with two ninjas successfully promoted and one granted Special Jonin.

Special Jonin is a special rank between Jonin and Chunin.

Generally speaking, ninjas with such a title can be regarded as having reached Jonin strength to a certain extent, but they are ninjas who do not fully possess Jonin qualities.

But they are also counted as Jonin level and have the right to participate in Jonin meetings.

The Jonin dispersed and left, and spread this bizarre story of the day.

The Kaguya clan could also be considered to have lost face this time.

The confrontation between the Mizukage and the Anbu leader also came to an end again.

Everything seemed to have calmed down, but everyone in their hearts knew.

This was just the silence before the storm.

Mizunuki clan grounds.

The "unconscious" Mizunuki Ryosuke was carried home like a hero.

In Ryosuke's home, Lian had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke being carried back, her heart instantly rose to her throat.

She asked everyone about Mizunuki Ryosuke's situation.

A Mizunuki Jonin said with a smile: "Young Lady, don't worry, this kid Ryosuke just consumed too much chakra, he will be fine after a rest."

Mizunuki Lian felt relieved after hearing this.

But because Mizunuki Ryosuke had been injured frequently recently, she began to worry again.

Lian carefully moved Mizunuki Ryosuke's body over and then rested it on her lap.

Subsequently, Mizunuki Lian carefully picked up the fan on the side and fanned a light breeze for Ryosuke on her knees.

This scene made the Mizunuki Jonin on the side envious.

But they could only sigh that they didn't have such good fortune.

"Clan Head!"

Suddenly, the Jonin said in a low voice.

A thin, middle-aged man with graying hair appeared in the small courtyard of Ryosuke's home at some point.

It was the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki.

Seeing Mizunuki Taki, Lian was instantly flustered and didn't know what to do.

She was aware of Mizunuki Taki's attitude of always opposing her contact with Ryosuke.

"Father..."

Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Mizunuki Lian could only lower her head and greet him in a low voice.

Mizunuki Taki looked at Ryosuke, who was still "unconscious" on Lian's lap, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Lian, take good care of Ryosuke."

"When you have time, bring him home for a meal."

Leaving such a sentence, Mizunuki Taki turned and left.

Hearing this, Mizunuki Lian once thought she had misheard.

After all, Mizunuki Taki's previous firm opposition and this attitude were completely opposite, making Mizunuki Lian even a bit unaccustomed.

Seeing the Mizukage leave, a group of Mizunuki ninjas hurriedly followed, and for a time, only Mizunuki Lian and Ryosuke were left in the small house.

This put Mizunuki Lian in a state of both surprise and worry.

Surprise because Mizunuki Taki tacitly approved of the relationship between her and Ryosuke.

Worry naturally because Mizunuki Ryosuke was still in a "coma."

Under the two contradictory emotions, the corners of Mizunuki Lian's eyes were suddenly a bit moist.

A cold tear fell on Mizunuki Ryosuke's cheek, making him unable to continue pretending to be unconscious.

Mizunuki Ryosuke slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mizunuki Lian, who was wiping the corners of her eyes.

Her pear-blossom-in-the-rain appearance was particularly pitiful.

Mizunuki Ryosuke heard everything just now, and he naturally knew why Mizunuki Lian would be like this.

When he was practicing the "Golden Mean" before, Mizunuki Lian was under great pressure.

Now that her father acknowledged it, it naturally made her ecstatic.

At the same time, Mizunuki Ryosuke also sighed in his heart that such mistakes should be avoided as much as possible in the future.

He shouldn't let Lian continue to worry.

Otherwise, ending up in a coma and playing dead every time would only cause Mizunuki Lian to worry.

"Sister Lian..."

A weak voice reached Mizunuki Lian's ears; Lian hurriedly wiped her cheeks in a panic and revealed a flawless smile.

"Ryosuke..."

"You're awake."

Lian's gentle voice sounded very soft, making Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart itch.

"Next time, I definitely won't do this again."

Mizunuki Ryosuke reached out and gently stroked Lian's cheek; her cheek, like egg white, was full of a warm feeling.

"Hmm..."

"Father asked us to go home for a meal together; let's go together, okay?"

Mizunuki Lian asked in a low voice, her eyes carrying an indescribable hope.

"Hmm, of course, that's good."

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke agree, Lian's smile became increasingly brilliant.

The two just enjoyed their warm alone time.
