Chapter 28

QQ

Combined with Mizunuki Ryosuke's age, he definitely counts as a "genius" level figure.

Recalling the things that happened to this young man recently, Mizunuki Taki could basically conclude.

This young man is "hiding his clumsiness."

Where is there a clansman who just awakened Ice Release a few days ago who can create ninjutsu?

This is like an elementary school student who just learned math a few days ago inventing the Pythagorean theorem.

It is true that he has talent, but at the same time, this bloodline might have been awakened for a long time.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Taki felt as if a mysterious veil was covering the young man just now.

If it weren't for revealing some flaws, Mizunuki Taki wouldn't have discovered at all that such a genius was hiding under his nose.

Although he saw through it, Mizunuki Taki would not say it.

Because he knew very well in his heart that the situation of the Mizunuki clan right now definitely couldn't be considered too good.

After a little careful thought, Mizunuki Taki also roughly understood Mizunuki Ryosuke's thoughts.

This sharp young man probably smelled the dangerous atmosphere in the village, which is why he didn't want to reveal his talent.

After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down; in the current precarious Kirigakure, it seems that biding one's time is the best choice.

It was precisely because he vaguely guessed Mizunuki Ryosuke's thoughts that he agreed to Tian Yuanshi's proposal to promote Ryosuke to Special Jonin.

After all, being promoted to Jonin at this age is indeed too prominent.

Since this young man doesn't want to stand at the forefront of the storm, Mizunuki Taki is also willing to provide him with a layer of protection.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Taki couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, he just wanted to operate behind the scenes to let the Mizunuki have one more Jonin so that they could have more say in the village.

But he never expected to discover a pillar of support.

"Cough, cough, cough."

After a violent cough, Mizunuki Taki looked at the bloodstains on his palm, a deep look flashing in his eyes.

I don't know how long he can hold on?

Suddenly, he turned around and wrote two names on a white paper laid flat in front of him.

They were Ryosuke and Eiro.

"Which of you, in the end, can lead the Mizunuki further?"

Mizunuki Taki muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

No matter what, as the head of the Mizunuki clan, he must stand his last post and try to create a good situation for his successors.

Returning home, Mizunuki Ryosuke also began to think about the things that had happened recently.

Combined with the latest intelligence obtained, Mizunuki Ryosuke began to list the information he had mastered.

Although the Mizunuki clan now reigns at the pinnacle of Kirigakure, they also have countless enemies in the village.

Due to the Third Mizukage's insufficient control over the village, the village has now fallen into a vortex of infighting and has split into several factions.

A Jonin promotion exam has already exposed enough information.

Kirigakure today.

Besides the Mizukage faction, which symbolizes the Mizukage and the Mizunuki clan, there is also the opposition faction of the Anbu leader Hozuki Mangetsu.

Hozuki Mangetsu is also the most powerful challenger to the position of Mizukage.

According to Mizunuki Ryosuke's judgment, Hozuki Mangetsu dares to openly challenge the Mizukage's authority like this, and his strength has at least reached the "Shadow" level, and he has other trump cards in his hands that can ensure he can confront the Mizukage head-on.

It's just that I don't know what Hozuki Mangetsu's current state is and whether he has been controlled?

Combined with the original work, Mizunuki Ryosuke judged that Hozuki Mangetsu definitely played a key role in the process of Madara invading Kirigakure.

At the same time, the Jonin squad leader Tian Yuanshi also has a clear difference in position from the Mizukage; in Ryosuke's judgment, this "old squad leader" should belong to the neutral faction.

But combined with some details during the Jonin exam, Mizunuki Ryosuke vaguely felt that this Jonin squad leader probably already had a tendency to lean towards Hozuki Mangetsu.

This is not good news for Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Finally, Mizunuki Ryosuke also listed the two other camps of "Ninja Clans" and "Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

It's just that the strength of these two sides did not appear at the Jonin meeting, and Mizunuki Ryosuke had no way to judge their positions.

Ninja clans refer to other ninja clan forces besides the Mizunuki and Kaguya; the attitudes of the Mizunuki and Kaguya go without saying.

The most critical of these is the attitude of the Hozuki clan.

The Hozuki clan, the main family of the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, has gradually faded from view since the fall of the Second Generation.

But everyone knows that their influence and strength are still not bad, occupying many key departments in Kirigakure.

The Hozuki's unique "Hydrification" bloodline also makes the Hozuki have terrifying combat power in special environments.

Many small ninja clans are even more closely huddled and united around the Hozuki clan, forming a not-so-bad force.

Finally, Mizunuki Ryosuke put a heavy mark on the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, an elite ninja organization of Kirigakure.

Established and developed by the Second Mizukage, it has now reached its peak, composed of seven elite Jonin holding different ninja swords, and is an extremely powerful force.

The seven working together to confront an ordinary Shadow-level powerhouse is not a problem at all.

Theoretically speaking, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen only obey the Mizukage's orders, but from a practical point of view, Mizunuki Ryosuke put a big question mark on whether the current Third Generation can command the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

After careful thought, Mizunuki Ryosuke judged that the situation is still not optimistic and must not stand in the open at this moment.

Stay steady, "Golden Mean" to the end!
