Chapter 437

Is there pure friendship between men and women?

In Mizunuki Ryosuke’s view, such a thing naturally does not exist.

Mizunuki Ryosuke could never allow the huge secret hidden in Kurotsuchi to be known by others, so Kurotsuchi was destined to be kept in his hands forever.

And since he intended to keep Kurotsuchi by his side, for men and women, only raising the relationship to the level of love is the most reliable.

A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman; this is a man’s nature.

Waking up to hold the power of the world, drunk to lie on the beauty’s knees.

This is what most men dream of.

If there are flowers to pick, pick them directly; don’t wait until there are no flowers and pick empty branches.

Perhaps Mizunuki Ryosuke originally had no intention of progressing the relationship with Kurotsuchi so quickly, but things in the world are impermanent. Since the atmosphere had reached this point, as a man, Mizunuki Ryosuke felt that he had no reason to retreat.

Desire or profit, it doesn’t matter.

And since things have already happened, there is no point in pursuing cause and effect, so just accept it calmly.

Occasionally, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally couldn’t help but feel guilty toward the several confidantes who had established intimate relationships with him in the dead of night, but this feeling would soon be calmed down by him.

Although it seems that Ryosuke is extremely unfair to the women in terms of feelings, in fact, Mizunuki Ryosuke has never treated them unfairly.

It can even be said that if it weren’t for Mizunuki Ryosuke’s existence, the fate of the women would not be beautiful.

Without Mizunuki Ryosuke’s intervention, after the rebellion of Yagura, Mist Hidden would enter the "Blood Mist Era." At that time, the Mizunuki clan would completely vanish in the ninja world, becoming an insignificant sacrifice under Uchiha Madara’s conspiracy.

When the nest is overturned, are there any intact eggs?

Referring to the encounter of Haku in the original work, one knows what fate the remaining Mizunuki clansmen would face.

As the daughter of the Third Mizukage, Ren’s ending naturally needs no thought.

And Tsunade naturally goes without saying; the family fell, and relatives, lovers, and friends left her one by one, and in the end, she could only face the ending of being alone until old age.

Similarly, Kurotsuchi is naturally the same.

How much value a future person who traveled from the future has in the current ninja world, and how many ambitious people’s attention it will attract, naturally needs no mention.

Once Kurotsuchi’s identity is exposed, the fate awaiting Kurotsuchi will also be extremely cruel.

Being sliced and studied as a white mouse is simply too normal.

In contrast, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s methods are already gentle enough.

And now?

Mizunuki Ren is still uniquely favored in the Mist Hidden Village, and her status is no less than when the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, was in power.

Every day, she only needs to be a good Yamato Nadeshiko, enjoy the quiet years, protect her mother at the same time, and imagine the beautiful life of a husband and children.

And for the strong woman Tsunade, not only does she have a shoulder to rely on in times of danger, but she also avoids a bumpy fate in the future, enjoys the nourishment of this fiery love, and has a harbor to take shelter from the wind at any time.

Even for Kurotsuchi, now she at least doesn’t have to run around in this strange world in fear, but can wantonly enjoy the hard-won peace under Mizunuki Ryosuke’s broad wings, and by the way, secretly curse this Demon God twice.

What’s wrong with that?

Is it only good to have to show one’s independence with a broken head and blood, and give up this fiery emotion?

Although these cannot make up for Mizunuki Ryosuke’s emotional debt to several confidantes, Mizunuki Ryosuke can only make up for it doubly in the future.

After some wild thoughts, Ryosuke stopped thinking about the episodes around him.

The changing situation in the ninja world dictates that he cannot stop yet.

Even if it is at least for himself and the people around him, he must sweep away all obstacles that can threaten him.

The chaotic situation in the Land of Rain is also time for it to settle down.

Thinking of this, a sharp look flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s eyes.

After dawdling for a long time, Kurotsuchi covered her somewhat sore and weak slender waist, slowly opened the door of this house, and walked out of the room.

While walking, Kurotsuchi couldn’t help but complain secretly in her heart.

"That devil, doesn’t he know how to cherish the jade?"

Seeming to think of something, her fair face turned as red as the sunset in the sky again.

Obviously, the little maid who had been out of battle for a long time was directly crushed in the high-intensity confrontation, which caused the current soreness of her waist and knees.

Kurotsuchi scanned the surroundings.

Outside the house, everything around looked incredibly peaceful at this moment.

There were no guards on alert, and no one was staring at her all the time.

Kurotsuchi vaguely remembered earlier in the morning, when her consciousness was still in a hazy state, what Mizunuki Ryosuke told her by her ear.

"Don’t leave this village easily; do whatever you want in the village."

"The Land of Rain is not peaceful."

"Obediently wait for me to come back."

At that time, she, who was extremely tired, just agreed in a daze, and then fell asleep again.

She also vaguely remembered that after the words fell, Mizunuki Ryosuke should have left a light kiss on her forehead.

Now thinking of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s gentle tone at that time, Kurotsuchi’s heart couldn’t help but heat up, and a trace of shyness couldn’t help but flash in her black-and-white almond eyes.

But soon, she shook her head again, trying to shake all the messy thoughts out of her head.

Seeing that the surroundings of the village were really as Mizunuki Ryosuke said, no longer imposing any restrictions on her, Kurotsuchi’s mood couldn’t help but improve a little.

At this moment, Kurotsuchi, driven by curiosity, opened her long legs, intending to carefully explore this Mist Hidden stronghold full of "mystery."

As soon as she left the range of the house, a middle-aged ninja with a very majestic face suddenly appeared in front of Kurotsuchi.

.0

"Greetings, my lord."

The middle-aged ninja greeted Kurotsuchi respectfully, using the standard etiquette used by ninjas when seeing superiors.

Kurotsuchi didn’t notice any clues about the sudden appearance of the middle-aged ninja.

This shows that this person’s strength is above Kurotsuchi’s.

Kurotsuchi was shocked in her heart, but after seeing the middle-aged man’s respectful expression, she soon felt relieved.

"You are..."

Kurotsuchi asked suspiciously.

"I am Kuroshima Ichigo, a Mist Hidden Jonin, and also the manager of this village."

"You can just call me Kuroshima."

The middle-aged man answered again, reporting his name, although the name has the style of a protagonist.

But unfortunately, he doesn’t have a pig-killing knife, nor does he know the sword technique called Getsuga Tensho.

In fact, he has a blood relationship with the Mist Hidden Jonin squad leader Kuroshima Morita, and is Kuroshima Morita’s clansman, considered a confidant of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s confidant.

Even so, it is clear that this Jonin Kuroshima is quite extraordinary in both status and strength, otherwise he would not have been assigned to manage such an important ninja stronghold.

"Jonin Kuroshima, then why did you stop me?"

Kurotsuchi asked puzzledly. Mizunuki Ryosuke clearly told her that as long as she didn’t leave this village, all other places had been lifted for her. Could it be that he was fooling her?

Was he worried about her, so he sent another guard because he was afraid she would run away?

Thinking of this, Kurotsuchi’s heart suddenly became gloomy, and a trace of sourness appeared in her heart.

She had given Mizunuki Ryosuke the most important thing she had, couldn’t she exchange it for his slight trust?

A young girl’s heart is like the weather in June; it always changes as soon as it says it changes.
