Chapter 39: , Strange Mission

That day, Mizunuki Taki hurriedly sent someone to summon Mizunuki Ryosuke, who had just completed a B-rank mission, to the Mizukage's office.

Mizunuki Ryosuke could not care about anything else and could only rush to the Mizukage Building without stopping.

With confusion, Mizunuki Ryosuke knocked open the door of this office that was extremely mysterious to ninety percent of Kirigakure ninjas.

Do not think that anyone can enter the Kage's office.

Under normal circumstances, except for trusted aides, the Mizukage would not meet others in the office.

Mizunuki Taki summoning Ryosuke to the Mizukage's office could strictly be considered a kind of attitude.

After stepping into this office, Mizunuki Ryosuke first looked around; after all, he still had a certain curiosity about such a mysterious place.

The result was that Mizunuki Ryosuke was greatly disappointed.

Except for the slightly larger area, this was just an ordinary office, and it did not look like there was anything strange.

After all, ninjas pay attention to practicality and restraint.

As a Kage, one should be even more low-key; people who are overly ostentatious cannot become ninjas.

So the Mizukage's office did not even look as imposing and luxurious as the offices of some big bosses in his previous life.

In the main seat of the office, Mizunuki Taki had been waiting for a long time.

"Cough cough..."

"Ryosuke, you're here."

Mizunuki Taki was still the same old way, looking like a sickly appearance of not having long to live.

He revealed a gentle smile after seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Because there was Lian as a link, the relationship between Ryosuke and the Mizukage had become much closer at this moment.

"Lord Mizukage, I heard you have something to find me for."

Although Mizunuki Taki had instructed that other titles could be used in private, in the current occasion, Ryosuke still took out an official attitude.

"That's right."

"Finding you here this time is to entrust you with an important mission!"

Mizunuki Taki said seriously, and a majestic aura suddenly rose from his body.

Until this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke felt the oppressive feeling of this Third Mizukage for the first time.

"I want you to lead your squad to hunt down the defecting ninja Nakajima Koji!"

"Remember, bring his head back intact!"

While speaking, the eyes of this Third Mizukage were full of oppression. It seemed that he was truly angry.

"Understood!"

Immediately, Mizunuki Ryosuke agreed directly; after all, looking at the posture of the Third Mizukage, there was no room for refusal.

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke agree, the aura on Mizunuki Taki's body gradually converged.

"This mission involves many aspects."

"It is inconvenient for me to tell you in detail one by one."

"You just need to know that this Nakajima Koji was once promoted by me single-handedly."

It seemed that Mizunuki Taki also knew that arranging missions in such a general way was a bit unreasonable.

So in the end, he revealed some inside information.

Hearing Mizunuki Taki say this, Ryosuke also immediately understood a lot in his heart.

"This is the content of the mission, as well as information about Nakajima Koji."

"Go quickly and return quickly."

"A big event will happen in a few days, and at that time, your strength might be needed."

Mizunuki Taki handed a mission scroll to Ryosuke, his eyes still carrying some deep meaning.

"Understood."

Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded and secretly remembered everything Mizunuki Taki said.

Afterward, he did not waste time exchanging pleasantries with the Mizukage, but left the Mizukage Building directly.

While giving orders to the squad members, Mizunuki Ryosuke also began to think about the information revealed in Mizunuki Taki's words.

The so-called "big event" should be a top-secret matter.

Because Mizunuki Ryosuke had never heard in the village or the clan that there would be any "big event" happening in Kirigakure recently.

Since it belonged to top secret, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally could not speculate without reason.

On the contrary, it was this mission to hunt down the defecting ninja that made him see many clues.

According to what Mizunuki Taki said, this defecting ninja Nakajima Koji was promoted by him single-handedly.

Then this person should belong to the "Mizukage Faction."

But now that he suddenly defected, I am afraid he holds some intelligence about the Mizukage Faction. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
