Chapter 399: , tell your husband, who am I?

After all, she had admitted it with her own mouth that she was Mizunuki Ryosuke’s lover.

One must know that different things, when done by different people, have different meanings.

In Hanzo of the Salamander’s view, this woman was just a female Stone ninja with strange behavior.

But in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s eyes, she was the key to opening a mysterious door.

Even though Mizunuki Ryosuke did not intend to watch the scene behind this mysterious door, he absolutely could not let others go behind the door.

So this key must be held in his hands!

If there were no "lover" identity that the girl herself admitted, Mizunuki Ryosuke would take the initiative to ask Hanzo of the Salamander for the ownership of the girl.

Then Hanzo of the Salamander would definitely suspect that a dignified Mizukage would personally ask for a Stone ninja captive, which meant that this ninja must have something that the Mizukage valued.

Therefore, Hanzo of the Salamander would inevitably be curious and guess.

Eventually, this would lead to Hanzo of the Salamander being curious and launching an investigation into the girl.

And once Hanzo of the Salamander started an investigation, he would inevitably find problems, because there were huge loopholes in the girl’s identity!

At that time, once the flaws appeared, they would only continue to expand and would not stop because of that.

Until finally, the tiny flaws became the most important pushers for revealing the truth!

Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally knew the truth of this.

So, in order to avoid the leakage of the secrets on the girl and to obtain the ownership of the girl in the safest way, Mizunuki Ryosuke simply chose to "play along."

Everything Mizunuki Ryosuke was doing now, on the surface, was just taking advantage of the girl, but in reality, he was asserting "sovereignty" over the girl in front of Hanzo of the Salamander, borrowing from the girl’s previous words.

That is, creating an illusion of: "This is my person."

To completely solidify such a situation, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s unilateral initiative and restraint were not enough; he also needed the girl’s "interaction" and "cooperation."

Thinking of this, a strange luster flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s deep, dark eyes.

With the degree to which this girl feared him, he thought "interacting" shouldn't be difficult, right?

Thus, Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded slightly and placed his gaze on the girl’s delicate face.

Her tightly knitted willow-leaf eyebrows and slightly wrinkled petite nose added a sense of endearing docility and frailty to the young lady's delicate and lovely face.

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly felt that perhaps raising a "little pet" wouldn't be bad.

Mizunuki Ryosuke spoke to the girl in a commanding tone, the usual gentleness in his tone already gone.

"Open your eyes."

This made the girl, who was already incomparably afraid of Mizunuki Ryosuke, even more panicked, and she could only open her clear, black-and-white eyes a sliver, quietly observing the scene before her.

When she saw a handsome and slightly cold face, the girl was like an electric shock, immediately closing her eyes again.

It seemed that if she closed her eyes, this terrifying "demon god" before her would cease to exist.

This typical "ostrich mentality" made Mizunuki Ryosuke’s bad taste gradually revive, which meant he intended to take the opportunity to make trouble.

There are many ways to "assert sovereignty," and Mizunuki Ryosuke’s heart gradually thought of one that had the "best effect."

Seeing the girl close her eyes again, Mizunuki Ryosuke clearly had a way to handle the girl; he made a slight nasal sound that carried a questioning meaning.

"Hmm?"

Just this one light hum, heard in the girl’s ears, was like a thunderclap.

Immediately, the girl opened her clear eyes.

And in her line of sight was a pair of eyes as deep as the galaxy, and at this moment, the distance between them was so close that the warm breath of both could hit each other’s faces.

The girl was stunned, because she suddenly felt that although this man was indeed a terrifying demon god,

but, he was really handsome...

For some reason, an unnatural red color appeared on the girl’s pale face.

"Haruko, tell your husband, who am I?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke asked the girl who was close at hand in a gentle tone, still using the fake name the girl had made up on the spot.

"You, you, you, I..."

Mizunuki Ryosuke’s ambiguous address left the girl speechless, and for a time, she couldn't speak clearly, directly turning into a little stutterer.

The girl’s little brain had already completely crashed and could not be used due to overheating, so she could only subconsciously follow her instincts and say a relatively rigid and official title.

"You, you are... Lord Mizukage..."

In the end, the girl, with a face red to the point of purple, answered Mizunuki Ryosuke with a tone that was four parts shy, four parts afraid, and two parts panicked.

"I'll give you one last chance, think about it carefully, who am I?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke revealed a very rare, slightly evil smile, and while speaking, he suddenly brought his face close to the girl; when he said the last three words, he even faintly carried a hint of threat, scaring the poor girl’s heartbeat to stop for an instant.

The slightly threatening tone, plus this somewhat evil expression, made the corners of the girl’s eyes already slightly moist from fear.

Regarding the "last chance" in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s mouth, the girl did not doubt it at all; this really could be the last time in her life she had the opportunity to speak.

After all, in her impression, most Stone ninjas didn't even have such an opportunity before they were frozen into ice shards.

Could it be that being frozen into ice shards was the final fate she was about to face?

Clearly, Mizunuki Ryosuke was not satisfied with her answer just now.

And Mizunuki Ryosuke's "dissatisfaction" was equivalent to her "death warrant."

The 101st way of dying that the girl imagined, "frozen into ice dregs," was completely rejected by her as soon as it appeared.

No, she absolutely cannot die here!

She wants to live, she wants to "go back"!!!

And to live and go back, she must give an answer that satisfies Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's question was: "Tell your husband, who am I?"

And who is he? Isn't he Mizunuki Ryosuke, the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, and also the future ninja world...

Thinking of this, the girl shuddered, no!

This direction of thinking is wrong; what Mizunuki Ryosuke wants to hear is definitely not this answer!

At this moment, the girl used her powerful "desire to survive" to forcibly drive her brain, which had already entered an "overheated" state, to analyze Mizunuki Ryosuke's words, which were full of ambiguous atmosphere.

Suddenly, she thought of a "possibility," and looking at the evil smile on the corner of Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth, her heart began to tremble violently.

"No, it can't be..."

The girl said distractedly in her heart, this demon god wouldn't want her to say such shameful words, right!

But no matter how she thought about it, the girl could only think of that one form of address.

As the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Mizunuki Ryosuke had many titles and forms of address; no matter how she "guessed," this result could be wrong.

Plus, the initiative of this matter was in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands; as long as he said it was right, it was right, and if he said it was wrong, it was wrong.

No matter how she guessed, Mizunuki Ryosuke could say it was wrong.

But this was not unsolvable.

There was only one form of address that would not, and could not, be wrong, and that was the form of address Mizunuki Ryosuke himself had already acknowledged.

No matter what, Mizunuki Ryosuke would not deny himself.

That is to say, she only needed to address him with the title Mizunuki Ryosuke used for himself, and in the few short sentences just now, Mizunuki Ryosuke's self-reference was "husband." That is to say...

The girl's cheeks were bright red; the shyness and fear in her heart had turned into a chain, locking her throat tightly, making her want to make a sound, but she couldn't do it at all.

Although she already had a guess, the girl was slow to break through her shackles and open her mouth.

Seeing the girl not making a sound, Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes became more and more profound.
