under the hat was a very young face full of affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A pure white imperial robe was draped over his body, and the words \"Fourth Mizukage\" were written on the back of the imperial robe, indicating his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Lord Mizukage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Through Yuki Mitsuhiko's call, everyone present, one by one, bowed to the Fourth Mizukage in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even the Cloud ninjas Samui and Troy, in such an atmosphere, followed suit and bowed respectfully to this master of the Hidden Mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal that everyone didn't need to be polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From the moment he saw Mizunuki Ryosuke, there was a hint of imperceptible heat in Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why did you come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu asked Mizunuki Ryosuke beside him, his tone completely different from his usual coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I wasn't going to come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But to watch the excitement, cough, cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's to test the strength of the village's young generation, so I came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke, who almost blurted out the three words \"watch the excitement,\" a hint of a smile appeared in Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He also seemed to have figured out the cause and effect; Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was sitting in the Mizukage's office, couldn't break through the thick fog in the barrier using only the secret technique: Mirror of Clarity, so he could only come in person to watch from a close distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The few people on the side looked at Hozuki Mangetsu, whose expression was completely different, and were not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Hidden Mist is vast, and Hozuki Mangetsu would only show such an attitude toward Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Captain Ryosuke...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lord Mizukage...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two pretty voices sounded together;

he had always cared about them and was not stingy with the tilt of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Terumi Mei had just passed sixteen years old, and Ringo Ameyuri beside her had just turned fifteen; they were two rising stars within the Hidden Mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at Ryosuke close at hand, Terumi Mei's expression was a bit excited, as if she had a lot to say, but didn't know how to say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Ringo Ameyuri beside her, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke, also had an excited expression, just like a little fan girl who saw her idol, with bright luster flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Captain Ryosuke, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Snap\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After being excited for a long time, just as Terumi Mei had prepared what to say, perhaps because her movements were a bit large, a strange-looking book fell out of the storage bag at her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The sound of the book falling on the ground attracted the attention of Mizunuki Ryosuke and everyone around, and everyone looked toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I saw that the cover of the book was exactly the photo he released to the public on the day he took office as Mizukage; not only that, the name of this book was quite explicit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Book Title: \"One Hundred Ways to Capture the Fourth Mizukage\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuki Mitsuhiko: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Terumi Mei: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ringo Ameyuri: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The most feared thing is that the air suddenly becomes quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Almost instantly, Terumi Mei's face turned incomparably pale, then turned bright red, and then turned pale again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The expression was so wonderful that it was no less than the face-changing art in the land of Sichuan, China.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What to do, what to do, what to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Terumi Mei kept reciting in her heart, and the brown eye exposed outside was full of madness before her reason collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the high-level of the Hidden Mist gathered together; in such an occasion, making such a scandal, what face would she have to continue being a ninja in the Hidden Mist?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What's more, the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, was right in front of her!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is no longer called social death, but social \"extinction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just when Terumi Mei was so anxious that her reason was about to break, she suddenly noticed Ringo Ameyuri beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Yuri-chan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Terumi Mei said silently in her heart; the so-called \"die friend, don't die Daoist,\" things had come to this, she really had no other way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah haha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh my, Yuri-chan, the book you put in my storage bag fell out, let me see what book it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Terumi Mei first laughed awkwardly twice, then picked up the book on the ground with lightning speed, and stuffed it into Ringo Ameyuri's hand; the movement was so smooth that it was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ringo Ameyuri's expression instantly changed from confusion to shock; she looked at the \"good girlfriend\" before her with an unbelievable gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>·· Seeking flowers ·· ··\u003C\u002Fp>",1264,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a71374b6ac63daca20b44d872597fcb79834d3b34fe4f5e991a84e5f540586d7","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-264","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-262",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
