Chapter 33: , Problem Youth from Kirigakure

Three ninjas of different ages, statuses, and strengths sat quietly, separated by several meters, sitting by the lakeside waiting for the arrival of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Due to the differences in their identities and personalities, the atmosphere between the three could not be considered good.

Unlike the simple waiting of Mizunuki Hikari and Terumi Mei, Takeda Yoichi had an additional task assigned by Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Intelligence gathering."

And the targets from whom intelligence needed to be gathered were precisely the Terumi Mei and Mizunuki Hikari before him.

As a teammate and old subordinate who had already lived and died together several times, Takeda Yoichi naturally executed Mizunuki Ryosuke's orders one hundred percent.

He also understood that this was a test for him from Mizunuki Ryosuke.

After much thought, Takeda Yoichi came up with a suitable idea.

Takeda Yoichi, who had been sitting in place the whole time, suddenly stood up, took a scroll from his waist, opened the seal, and took out an iron pot that was easy to use.

Subsequently, he gathered firewood on the spot, took water from the nearby lakeside, used Fire Release to light the firewood, and boiled water.

Before long, the boiling water was ready.

Drink more hot water (manual doge), this point is also true for ninjas.

Except for necessary moments or special missions, ninjas also try to use boiled water before drinking to avoid contracting diseases.

Takeda Yoichi very diligently handed the treated water source to Terumi Mei.

"Thank you."

Terumi Mei took the hot water and politely said thank you.

Having rushed over without stopping, she was indeed a bit thirsty.

Subsequently, after Terumi Mei finished drinking, Takeda Yoichi came to Mizunuki Hikari's side in the same way and handed Mizunuki Hikari the cup that Terumi Mei had used.

"Drink some water."

Takeda Yoichi revealed a simple and honest smile and said kindly, but what Mizunuki Hikari did not notice was that a flash of sharpness appeared in his eyes.

A trace of disgust immediately appeared in Mizunuki Hikari's eyes; he, the son of the great elder of the Mizunuki, would never drink water from a cup used by others.

"Get lost!"

Immediately, Mizunuki Hikari said in a low voice without politeness, the disgust in his eyes undisguised.

Takeda Yoichi's complexion immediately became ugly.

This scene was even uglier in the eyes of Terumi Mei on the other side.

"Boom!"

Terumi Mei stood up abruptly and looked at Mizunuki Hikari with cold eyes.

"Hehe."

"What, does a mere burden want to cause trouble?"

Mizunuki Hikari said without politeness while sneering.

At this, Terumi Mei could no longer endure it.

"Burden? I'm afraid the one you're talking about is yourself."

She retorted without politeness.

"What, do you want to try?!"

The sneer on Mizunuki Hikari's face disappeared instantly, and his complexion became very gloomy.

"Try if you want to try!"

The cold light in Terumi Mei's eyes flashed and disappeared.

Water Release: Water Trumpet Technique!

Terumi Mei formed seals at an extremely fast speed, spraying a water column with terrifying impact from her mouth.

Facing Terumi Mei's sudden attack, Mizunuki Hikari was not panicked at all; he also formed seals quickly and slammed his hands onto the ground.

Ice Release: Ice Wall Technique!

An ice wall that just happened to block his body rose from the ground. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
