Chapter 4

The purple-masked Anbu said slowly, watching Mizunuki Ryosuke's expression.

To this, Mizunuki Ryosuke said nothing, his expression filled with grief.

"This..."

"Is the fate of a ninja."

After a long silence, Mizunuki Ryosuke said slowly, a sentence that made the atmosphere in the room somewhat heavy.

Seeing this, the purple-masked Anbu stopped pressing.

"Alright, that's all. Sorry for the intrusion, goodbye."

After speaking, the three Anbu members stood up and left.

After the three left, the grief on Mizunuki Ryosuke's expression disappeared, returning to his initial calmness.

In fact, Mizunuki Ryosuke had long concluded that for a mission with such a major disclosure, the Anbu would definitely intervene to investigate.

And the background of this mission probably didn't look as simple as it seemed.

The "trump cards" exposed just now were a last resort, and these cards were just the most insignificant things in Mizunuki Ryosuke's arsenal.

The impact of exposing Ice Release was also within Mizunuki Ryosuke's acceptable range.

It just changed him from "average" to "above average." There were at least eight hundred ninjas with similar talent to Mizunuki Ryosuke; this didn't count for much.

With the display of Ice Release talent, even if the village intended to investigate deeply, the clan would do its best to protect Mizunuki Ryosuke.

It was obvious that the dog-faced Anbu just now was clearly a ninja from the Mizunuki clan.

Mizunuki Ryosuke was not worried about the Anbu's investigation and the "exposure of talent."

On the contrary, he was worried about something else.

A ninja team had actually lurked so close to the Hidden Mist Village; what exactly was this team's intent?

What Mizunuki Ryosuke needed to do was to extract himself from this storm as quickly as possible.

Soon, Mizunuki Ryosuke fell into deep thought, contemplating his own predicament.
