To secure a glimmer of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But just as the girl intended to fight to the death, a figure that appeared before her with slow steps completely dispelled her thoughts of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The girl still has that scene filled with despair engraved in her mind; the past scene seems as if it were right before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The dense mass of Rain ninjas slowly dispersed, all of them welcoming the arrival of this man with a posture of respect bordering on servility.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The dark green hair, the iconic respirator, and a flying sickle carried on his shoulder already explained this man’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The leader of the Rain ninjas, or rather, the current \"demigod of the ninja world\"—Hanzo of the Salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A person’s name is like the shadow of a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The girl’s understanding of Hanzo of the Salamander far exceeded that of an ordinary person; she even knew something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, the current Hanzo of the Salamander was still in a \"low tide\" period; it was only after \"that incident\" that Hanzo of the Salamander truly reached his peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And it was only after that that everyone in the ninja world understood just how terrifying this hero of the Rain ninjas, who rose from the grassroots, truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, the clever girl also understood why the Rain ninjas were not in a hurry to act, and why they would mobilize so many people to hunt down a single \"Stone ninja spy\" like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because it was very likely that these Rain ninjas were not here to catch her, but to \"watch the show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Is there a possibility that it wasn't that the Rain ninjas valued her, this \"Stone ninja spy,\" so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But rather that, in her own blind panic, she had run into the Rain ninjas' lair?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The appearance of Hanzo of the Salamander was the best explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, the dignified demigod of the ninja world would never have taken action for a mere \"Stone ninja spy\" like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that she had delivered herself into the tiger's mouth, and they were just cleaning her up while they were at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How could she still fight this? Better to just be straightforward and surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And so, the moment she saw Hanzo of the Salamander, the girl did not hesitate at all, directly raising her hands high and shouting toward Hanzo of the Salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't do it, I surrender!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Her straightforwardness also made Hanzo of the Salamander feel quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because he had never seen a ninja with such poor fighting spirit who surrendered so \"justifiably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not to mention, it was a Stone ninja, who were always known for their tenacious fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Could this be a 'fake Stone ninja'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That’s right, in Hanzo of the Salamander’s view, the girl’s surrender seemed to carry a hint of being \"justifiable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander’s gaze was somewhat strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, just as the girl thought, the reason Hanzo of the Salamander came in person was simply out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because he couldn't understand how there could be such a \"stupid\" ninja in the world who would run all the way into the enemy's lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had indeed seen a ninja who walked right into a trap and surrendered so justifiably for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Little did he know, the girl was indeed a Stone ninja, but not the Stone ninja Hanzo of the Salamander imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, since the goal had been achieved, Hanzo of the Salamander couldn't be bothered to waste more effort; he gave a look to a Rain ninja beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately, this Rain ninja stepped forward, unceremoniously binding the girl’s hands and simultaneously applying a sealing technique to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With her hands bound, it meant the girl’s means of performing ninjutsu were sealed. [752] And the sealing technique meant the girl could not use her chakra, and her physical strength and agility were all significantly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for the sealing technique, it rendered the young lady unable to use her chakra, while her physical strength, agility, and other attributes were all significantly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In other words, the girl had become an ordinary person at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And regarding the Rain ninjas' binding and sealing, the girl appeared exceptionally well-behaved, without a single bit of resistance during the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Hanzo of the Salamander’s expression became even more strange; he was also seeing such a \"cooperative\" captive for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps because of the girl’s cooperative attitude, for some reason, a trace of compassion flashed in Hanzo of the Salamander’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander certainly knew what kind of miserable treatment captured ninjas generally suffered, not to mention a female ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Take her down, keep a close watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>·· ····Seeking flowers··· ····\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6dd825b03fa1b4e31d84592483b91a8ab52288d703d68e7ed6e6eef6cc8160d9","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-392","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-390",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
