Chapter 27: , mission objective, assassinate the Mizukage
It must be said that Mizunuki Ryosuke’s luck was not bad; by the time he arrived, this guy still had a breath left, though he was already unconscious.
This Rock Ninja was the one who knew the Rock Transformation secret technique; that he could survive was likely due to the technique, and it seemed his desire to survive at the last moment saved his life.
With no outsiders, there was no need for pretense.
Mizunuki Ryosuke performed hand seals with one hand, and then his palm emitted a soft green light.
Mystical Palm Technique!
As the most basic medical ninjutsu, it was naturally not difficult for Mizunuki Ryosuke to learn.
Following Mizunuki Ryosuke’s emergency treatment, he managed to keep the guy’s breath.
Afterward, Mizunuki Ryosuke shouldered the Rock Ninja’s body and went to rendezvous with his three subordinates.
Due to the exhaustion of their Qi, the three had left the battlefield early and were watching from a safe distance.
Although they did not know exactly what had happened or the details of the battle.
But listening to the commotion from the distant battle, the three could not help but swallow their saliva.
Especially the explosions, which grew louder each time, causing the three’s minds to tremble incessantly.
Especially for Mizunuki Mitsuhiko, the realization brought was simply subversive.
At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s status in his heart directly surpassed the man he had always dreamed of surpassing!
Looking at the huge triangular "skating rink" in the distance, Mizunuki Mitsuhiko’s eyes were dull; he could never have dreamed that there would be such an Ice Style!
Especially Mizunuki Ryosuke’s massive amount of Qi, which left Mizunuki Mitsuhiko astonished.
As the saying goes, when heaven opens a door for you, it also closes a window.
This is because heaven is fair.
This was also true for the Mizunuki; the Ice Style bloodline talent gave the Mizunuki clan an attack capability that surpassed ordinary people.
But likewise, most Mizunuki clansmen had a shortcoming that was difficult to compensate for—Qi!
Compared to most ninja clans, the Mizunuki clan’s Qi volume did not have an advantage.
Because of this, few Mizunuki clan ninjas would develop large-scale attack Ice Style ninjutsu.
The shocking icy earth before him made Mizunuki Mitsuhiko gradually develop a strange feeling.
Even the contemporary Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, did he have such a terrifying Ice Style ninjutsu?
Let us put aside Mizunuki Mitsuhiko’s thoughts for now.
At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke, carrying the only remaining Rock Ninja Jonin, had already found his three subordinates.
"This is not the place to talk; let us first find a stronghold!"
Mizunuki Ryosuke did not waste words; this was not an absolutely safe place, and they had to leave as soon as possible.
Because the appearance of the Rock Ninjas had caused a huge variable in the original mission of hunting down the rogue ninja.
Mizunuki Ryosuke had to consider everything with the worst-case scenario in mind.
Even...
The entire village, and even the source of the mission—the Mizukage—were now no longer reliable.
Mizunuki Ryosuke could only hope that this Rock Ninja could bring sufficiently credible intelligence.
Late at night, the group, having left the forest, rested in a hidden cave.
After Mizunuki Ryosuke’s treatment, this Rock Ninja finally regained consciousness.
But upon opening his eyes and seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke, he fainted from fear again.
Mizunuki Ryosuke was seen pointing a finger at the Rock Ninja’s forehead; a bone-chilling cold swept through the Rock Ninja’s entire body, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life..."
As soon as he woke up, the Rock Ninja couldn't help but beg for mercy, his courage completely shattered.
"I ask, you answer."
Facing the Rock Ninja’s pleas, Mizunuki Ryosuke showed no sign of responding, only coldly spitting out four words.
"This, this..."
"As long as you let me go afterward, I..."
Before the Rock Ninja could finish his conditions, Mizunuki Ryosuke reached out and grabbed one of the Rock Ninja’s arms.
An extreme cold flashed by, and the Rock Ninja’s entire arm was instantly frozen into a block of ice.
"Snap!"
Mizunuki Ryosuke tapped it lightly.
The Rock Ninja’s arm, frozen into ice, instantly shattered into a pile of ice shards!
This extremely cruel scene struck the Rock Ninja’s already collapsed heart.
He immediately let out a howl like a slaughtered pig.
"I ask, you answer."
Still the same cold four words, making the Rock Ninja dare not have the slightest defiance.
This cruel scene made Terumi Mei on the side unable to help but close her eyes.
"Speak, why did you know about our mission and ambush us here in advance?"
Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke’s interrogation, the Rock Ninja began to tell everything while trembling.
From Tatsuo’s death to Kari’s desire for revenge, to the entire process of their ambush.
"As for... as for..."
"Why we knew your whereabouts."
"This is because someone within the Mist Village is in contact with Kari."
"As for who this person is, I don't know."
The Rock Ninja answered truthfully.
"What is the purpose of your infiltration?"
"Nakajima Koji, have you heard of this person?"
Mizunuki Ryosuke continued to press.
A trace of struggle flashed across the Rock Ninja’s face, but seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke seem to be reaching out his hand again.
He hurriedly spoke quickly, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
"Our purpose in infiltrating is to carry out an S-rank mission..."
"The target of the mission is to assassinate the Mizukage."
"As for the details of the mission, they were all controlled by Kari; I don't know much."
"As for Nakajima Koji? We have not heard of him." ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
"But a day ago, a Mist Ninja found us, and Kari killed him without a word."
The information spoken by the Rock Ninja made Mizunuki Ryosuke’s pupils shrink violently.
In an instant, it seemed all the clues combined in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s mind.
Combining the deductions, Mizunuki Ryosuke had already guessed the approximate truth.
"Who is the traitor within the Mist Village?"
Mizunuki Ryosuke asked softly.
"I don't know..."
"I only know that in the process of infiltrating the Land of Water, we received help from the high-level officials of the Mist."
"And in the subsequent assassination mission, this person will also help us."
"The specific identity of this person is only known to Kari and Sanhashi (the other dead Rock Ninja Jonin)."
"Please let me go, I really..."
After saying this, the Rock Ninja cried and begged again.
But Mizunuki Ryosuke only turned his head indifferently and looked at Takeda Yoichi on the side.
After receiving an affirmative answer.
Hand raised, blade fell.
A large head fell to the ground.
The Rock Ninja died with eyes wide open, never obtaining the hope of life until the end.
(Seeking flowers, seeking votes, seeking support!). ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
