you know what I’m talking about, don't try to use a fake one to deceive me, the result is something you cannot afford.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides that, there is also the cultivation method for Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique and Earth Release: Heavy-Weight Rock Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, Kitsuchi’s expression changed drastically, and even his complexion changed with a boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ninja world, what is most important?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say, of course, strength is most important!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the source of strength, the absolute key factor, is the \"jutsu\" that ninjas cultivate, which is the ninja’s ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the most characteristic are the \"Pig, Deer, Butterfly\" families of the Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secret techniques of the three families, apart from Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi, have no other source in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, the abilities used by the three families do not belong to the category of bloodline limits, but are just some Yin-Yang Release secret techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, as long as a ninja possesses Yin-Yang Release talent, after obtaining the Pig-Deer-Butterfly ninjutsu, they can all cultivate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ninja world is vast, and only the Leaf’s Pig-Deer-Butterfly know the shadow, soul-transfer, and expansion secret techniques; the reason for this is naturally self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the foundation of the three major ninja clans, and also their reliance for occupying a place in the ninja world; if the secret techniques were to leak and become rotten in the ninja world, the consequences would be unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of \"open competition\" in the ninja world is the biggest joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leakage of ninjutsu and being learned by others is not the most critical point; the most important thing is that if it is obtained by an enemy, the other party will thoroughly study your ability and then think of a way to restrain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this happens, the three major ninja clans will probably inevitably be cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it is not just these small ninja clans that master secret techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even large ninja clans with bloodline limits will try their best to prevent their own bloodline limits from leaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the two \"eye clans\" of the Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Caged Bird\" of the Hyuga clan in the original work is the best explanation; in order to prevent the leakage of abilities, the Hyuga even went as far as to restrain their clansmen in the form of a curse mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although the Uchiha clan is not as cruel as the Hyuga, they have similar rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Uchiha ninja, the first thing they must do before dying in battle, is to destroy their own eyes, so as not to be taken by outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Uchiha Madara consciously destroyed his own eternal eyes before he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something similar with the greatest influence and the most famous is the ninjutsu created by Senju Tobirama—Shadow Clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not think that the Shadow Clone Technique is an inconspicuous existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Shadow Clone seems to be just a basic ninjutsu, the heaven-defying nature of the Shadow Clone needs no words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only can it create a clone with the same thinking ability and partial strength as the main body, but unlike ordinary clone techniques, the Shadow Clone has a physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allows the Shadow Clone not only to possess combat ability but also to possess the same thinking mode and learning ability as the main body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said that a ninja who knows Shadow Clone can completely crush a ninja who does not know Shadow Clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other advanced clone techniques like Water Clone, Rock Clone, etc., they are just secondary creations based on the Shadow Clone Technique created by Senju Tobirama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not an exaggeration to say that it was precisely because of the appearance of the Shadow Clone that the mode of ninja combat was changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reason why the Shadow Clone became rotten and completely changed the ninja’s combat mode, the reason for it was the leakage of ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine, if the Shadow Clone Technique had not leaked, and only Leaf ninjas in the ninja world knew how to use this ninjutsu, how terrifying would the Leaf be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In battles of the same level, those who know Shadow Clone compared to those who don't are simply in an invincible position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, everything has no \"if.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the leakage of Shadow Clone was also something that couldn't be helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, because this technique is simply too simple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple ninjutsu, although it does not mean it is not powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being too simple also caused learning to have no difficulty, the audience to be too wide, and the base to be too large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, there is no shortage of people with low strength; once captured, some who cannot withstand interrogation will reveal it, making leakage inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the leakage of ninjutsu is absolutely a very serious matter in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, not everyone can be like Mizunuki Ryosuke, possessing heaven-defying level ninjutsu aptitude, being able to learn ordinary ninjutsu directly after watching it a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his demand for money and materials is \"cutting flesh\" for the Rock Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Mizunuki Ryosuke’s words are undoubtedly equivalent to \"digging bones\" for the Rock Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People and combat power are gone, they can be developed and trained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money and resources are gone, they can be earned and plundered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the \"jutsu\" is gone, it is truly gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the five major ninja villages, only the Leaf, with its large family and business, has something like the \"Scroll of Seals\" that records heaven-defying forbidden techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other four nations, although they do not have a Scroll of Seals, also have things similar to recording the village’s ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such scrolls are collectively referred to as \"secret transmissions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rock Village Earth Release secret transmission\" that Mizunuki Ryosuke demanded is of no small weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this is equivalent to Mizunuki Ryosuke directly demanding all of the Rock Village’s Earth Release!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s requirements, it also includes the Rock Village’s village-protecting ninjutsu like Earth Release: Heavy-Weight Rock Technique and Light-Weight Rock Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a request is like asking the Leaf to send a pair of Mangekyo and Hashirama cells to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>",1084,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T05:05:38.859Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","27c71fb1bdc92963e4c4c95540209f9aef1fc20b03b5872bffbf850c71c29fef","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-374","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-372",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
