Chapter 377

"Snap!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke snapped his fingers.

"Swish!!"

A tall, thin figure leaped up from below the Ice Tower and arrived behind Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Not only that, but on his shoulder, he was carrying a Rock ninja whose hands were wrapped like a mummy.

The tall, thin figure was Mizunuki Ryosuke's "number one confidant," Kisame Hoshigaki, and the one being carried on Kisame's shoulder was the Rock ninja Shinden Saburo.

Mizunuki Ryosuke did not speak, but merely gave Kisame Hoshigaki a look.

Immediately, Kisame Hoshigaki understood the meaning in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

"Thud!"

And so, he unceremoniously threw Shinden Saburo, whom he had been carrying on his shoulder, onto the round table in front of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Huangtu looked at Shinden Saburo's face and his mouth fell wide open.

He looked just like a goldfish out of water, trying hard to breathe, but unable to draw any air into his lungs. ### CHAPTER 710

Within the Five Great Shinobi Villages, under normal strength, there are basically about three hundred to five hundred Jonin.

And among these numbers of Jonin, excluding a small portion of "Special Jonin," only about one-tenth truly deserve the title of "Elite."

That is to say, in a ninja village, the number of ninjas with Elite Jonin strength is only a mere double-digit figure.

Therefore, these Elite Jonin, except for those who need to keep their identities secret for special reasons (such as Mist Anbu members or secret unit members), are all famous existences within the ninja village.

Generally speaking, as long as one's strength reaches this level, unless the individual has no corresponding desire, they can basically be in charge of some institutions or departments within the ninja village and become ninjas in the leadership class.

And at this very moment, the Elite Jonin Shinden Saburo, who was thrown onto the table by Kisame Hoshigaki, had a face that could not be clearer to Huangtu.

At the same time, one thing Huangtu knew even more clearly was that Shinden Saburo should not be here right now, but should be in the Rock's infirmary!

And Shinden Saburo appearing here meant...

Huangtu choked for a moment, his strong body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that Huangtu seemed to have understood what Shinden Saburo's appearance here meant, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not play coy.

He formed a single-handed seal, and the ice round table in front of the four, which was as bright as a mirror, suddenly displayed a scene as if it were a television.

Water Release: Water Curtain Technique!

When Mizunuki Ryosuke was undergoing the Mizukage assessment, the Mist Village had also used this move to "live broadcast" the competition scenes of the three Mizukage candidates.

Now, Mizunuki Ryosuke used this Water Curtain Technique to broadcast the scene of the four thousand wounded Rock ninjas captured by the White Shark Unit onto the ice mirror round table.

The effect of the Water Curtain Technique was similar to a projector; the "water curtain" was just a medium for playing the scene, so it didn't matter whether the specific scene was displayed on the ice mirror or the water curtain.

In the ice mirror, the four thousand wounded Rock ninjas were like wilted bean sprouts, one by one listlessly guarded by the Mist ninjas of the White Shark Unit.

I am afraid that with just one order from Mizunuki Ryosuke, these Rock ninjas would lose their lives.

Kisame Hoshigaki ignored the expressions of Bee and Huangtu; all he needed to do was follow orders.

Seeing Kisame come to the side of the unconscious Shinden Saburo, he pointed a finger at him, and immediately cold water poured onto Shinden Saburo's face.

Due to restricted breathing, the unconscious Shinden Saburo soon struggled and woke up.

Perhaps in normal times, Shinden Saburo, as an Elite Jonin, would be considered a "big shot."

But in the current scene, it was clear he was just an insignificant shrimp, and no one cared about Shinden Saburo's feelings.

Only Huangtu immediately came to Shinden Saburo's side, his large hands grabbing Shinden Saburo's shoulders.

"Jonin Shinden!!!"

"What on earth is going on!!!"

Huangtu asked excitedly, his tone full of urgency.

Although both the appearance of Shinden Saburo and the scene shown by the Water Curtain Technique had already given him the answer, he still needed to hear the reply from Shinden Saburo himself to completely give up hope.

Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not stop him, but just waved his hand toward Kisame Hoshigaki on the side.

Seeing this, Kisame Hoshigaki also tactfully stood behind Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Cough, cough..."

Shinden Saburo coughed violently; with his head still in chaos, he subconsciously answered directly after hearing Huangtu's question.

"It's the Mist..."

"The Mist... attacked our wounded..."

Shinden Saburo answered truthfully, and upon hearing this, Huangtu's eyes were filled with despair.

At this moment, Huangtu understood in his heart that the Rock had no choice; they had lost completely from the very beginning, and they were even just playthings in Mizunuki Ryosuke's palm from the start.

One wrong move, and the whole game was lost.

These four thousand wounded soldiers also became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

It seemed that these were just four thousand wounded soldiers with no ability to resist or fight, and if they died, they died.

How could they be used as conditions and chips to threaten the Rock?

But in reality, this was precisely the heaviest chip in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands.

Not to mention what Mizunuki Ryosuke thought, even Huangtu had already thought of countless ways to use these four thousand wounded soldiers.

Just take the simplest point: one only needs to drive this batch of wounded soldiers to the center of the two armies' positions when they are at war, and then... the scene would be too bloody to describe in detail.

You must know that people are emotional animals; even ninjas are people, not stones.

Not to mention, with Mizunuki Ryosuke's unfathomable psychological warfare, the room for operation here was simply off the charts.

Therefore, after these four thousand wounded soldiers fell into Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands, Huangtu completely gave up resistance.

Huangtu was in a daze, and Mizunuki Ryosuke felt that Shinden Saburo's dry coughing was a bit harsh, so he frowned.

On the other side, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had already maxed out his "reading the room" skill, immediately flashed a look of understanding in his eyes, and immediately made a flicking gesture at the coughing Shinden Saburo.

"Whoosh!"

A water bullet with huge impact force shot out from Kisame Hoshigaki's fingertip, directly hitting Shinden Saburo's shoulder socket and knocking him unconscious again.

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded with satisfaction.

"Shinden!"

Looking at the knocked-out Shinden Saburo, Huangtu was first startled, then slumped into his chair as if he had lost all his strength.

"We agree to all of the Mist's conditions."

"Dust Release, Light-Weight Rock Technique, Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique, we offer them all with both hands..."

"I only hope that you can..."

Huangtu said with a voice as dry as if his throat were filled with loess.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Don't even think about Onoki; let him stay as a 'guest' in the Mist for the time being."

"Once the Rock fulfills its promise, I will naturally let him go back."

Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to have guessed what Huangtu intended to say and blocked it with one sentence.

Hearing this, Huangtu gave a bitter smile, his honest face full of bitterness.

Come to think of it, if he returned Onoki, what would the Mist have to ensure that the Rock would follow the promise and fulfill the treaty of war reparations?

"Then the Four-Tails..."

Huangtu said again with a hoarse throat, but before he could finish.

"Hmm?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke just used a light nasal sound to terminate all of Huangtu's delusions.

Are you kidding? Mizunuki Ryosuke caught this "wild Tailed Beast" with great effort; why should he give it to you?

You say it's yours; does the Four-Tails have your name written on it?

With Huangtu's complete compromise.

Thus, the Rock carved its own name onto a treaty that could be called absolutely humiliating.

Mizunuki Ryosuke also gained the ninjutsu representing the ultimate nature transformation of the Earth attribute: the Light-Weight and Ultra-Light-Weight Rock techniques.

Not only that, his biggest gain was obtaining the Rock's development and research materials regarding Dust Release. ### CHAPTER 711
