Because a few hours ago, he had also used the same look to scan those \"peers\" of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The indifference in this look is the giant's disregard for ants; just as humans will not look squarely at bugs that can be crushed by their own feet, this look of indifference is roughly similar; in Kakuzu's view, this look of disregard is completely the greatest insult to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kakuzu clenches his fists, his heart slowly turning cold; could it be that in this man's eyes, he is also just a bug that can be crushed at will?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kakuzu is secretly angry in his heart, secretly clenching his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How many years has it been? As a \"legendary ninja,\" how many years has he not been disregarded like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a trance, Kakuzu remembers many years ago, in the eyes of a ninja as powerful as a god, he seemed to have seen the same emotion...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's you, Kakuzu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But who would have thought that just when Kakuzu was secretly guarding, the young man broke Kakuzu's identity in one word, seemingly very familiar with Kakuzu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The young man's tone is nonchalant, but it sounds particularly harsh in Kakuzu's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I have been pursuing my 'prey' for a long time; it probably wouldn't be very good for you to suddenly intervene, would it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Anger is anger, but Kakuzu hasn't lost his head; he narrows his eyes and speaks out to probe the young man on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The other party being able to break his identity in one word is not good news for Kakuzu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a ninja's battle, intelligence is always the most critical factor affecting the outcome of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Except for the God of Shinobi, no ninja is perfect; as long as enough intelligence is mastered, even the weak can defeat the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For Kakuzu, in the vast ninja world, he is already a \"long-lived\" ninja without a doubt; in such a long life, it is not strange that his existence is known by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, Kakuzu's own intelligence will also be leaked more or less.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His words are intended to probe the young man's intentions, so as to decide what kind of action to take next.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, at this moment, Kakuzu has no intelligence on the young man; if he can learn the young man's purpose and identity through verbal probing, that would naturally be the best for Kakuzu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But who would have thought that after hearing this, the young man only reveals an indifferent smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kakuzu is greatly alarmed in his heart, because he sees the chill of death in the young man's eyes, which are as vast as the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Daring to touch my people, you have quite some guts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is she someone you can touch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Go to hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without a word of nonsense, Mizunuki Ryosuke does not intend to give too much explanation, because he has already prepared to kill Kakuzu, and too much nonsense has no meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's powerful and domineering words make Kurotsuchi in his arms develop an unspeakable emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, what girl hasn't fantasized that when she encounters danger, there will be a Prince Charming descending from the sky to save her?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kurotsuchi only feels her pretty face burning, and the little deer in her chest is bumping around.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Roar!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the sky, the roar that shakes the clouds is accompanied by the explosion sound of tearing the air, reaching everyone's ears; the crystal-clear body, like glaze, with a unique curve of violent beauty, is reflected in everyone's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The huge ice dragon, tens of meters long, flaps its wings down from the clouds, its target hitting Kakuzu on the side directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter when or where, the Ice Dragon King's appearance is always so shocking and dreamy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>.0\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kakuzu's face changes, his expression full of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Ice Dragon King's ferocious and dreamy body brings him great shock; in an instant, the Ice Dragon King's rotating tail, covered in barbs, has already killed its way to Kakuzu's front.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The terrifying force, accompanied by the deadly cold air carried on the Ice Dragon's rotating tail, strikes violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In his haste, Kakuzu can only put his hands together; instantly, the gaps sewn by black threads all over his body split open, and a huge amount of pitch-black tentacles gush out from them, forming a wall composed of pitch-black tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Boom！！！!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ferocious dragon tail strikes the wall of pitch-black, filthy threads; the tentacle wall blocking in front of the dragon tail instantly splits open, bursting into a sky full of black filth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The remaining force of the dragon tail strikes Kakuzu's body; at this moment, Kakuzu's body is blasted away like a rag doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this situation, Kurotsuchi is terrified; she raises her head to look at Mizunuki Ryosuke's profile, her eyes also full of unspeakable meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, before this, although she knew Mizunuki Ryosuke's terror, her way of understanding Mizunuki Ryosuke was through \"legends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And at this moment, after personally exchanging moves with Kakuzu, she naturally knows how difficult and powerful Kakuzu is.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Such a powerful Kakuzu was actually \"killed in seconds\" by Mizunuki Ryosuke; the shock brought to Kurotsuchi can be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi is a young girl after all, and it is perfectly normal for her to have a little bit of a young girl's temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Worshiping the strong is a commonality of most young girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the unspeakable and indescribable feelings for Mizunuki Ryosuke in Kurotsuchi's heart become more and more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>·· ····Seeking flowers··· ····\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.922Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","15241ce97f9e8977a3e3e3cc3ae95aeb6d2e6b50dfd3e6a06cd1f2377099bd11","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-430","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-428",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
