~8 min read 1,554 words

Through Kurotsuchi’s expression, how could Kuroshima Ichigo not know that it was his words that caused Kurotsuchi to misunderstand.

At this moment, he hurriedly explained.

"My lord, I am not preparing to stop you."

"I just want to tell you some things about the village. Lord Mizukage has already instructed me before."

"As long as you don’t leave this village, I will try my best to satisfy all your requests."

Hearing Kuroshima’s explanation, Kurotsuchi calmed down, knowing that she had misunderstood Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"This guy, that’s about right."

Kurotsuchi pouted and said as if she didn’t care.

As for who the "this guy" in Kurotsuchi’s mouth is, Kuroshima Ichigo naturally knows it well.

If anyone else dared to show this attitude to his most respected Lord Mizukage, he would probably have gone up to teach the other party why flowers are so red.

It’s just...

But when Kuroshima Ichigo saw the particularly eye-catching, plum-blossom-like red marks on Kurotsuchi’s swan-like fair and beautiful neck, he consciously deleted Kurotsuchi’s previous disrespectful words from his head.

After all, for someone who might be the Mizukage’s wife in the future, it is always right for him to be respectful.

Women are always very sensitive to others’ gazes toward them. Kuroshima Ichigo’s eyes didn’t escape Kurotsuchi. At this moment, her pretty face turned red, and she tightened the collar of her clothes subconsciously.

It’s just that this act of trying to cover up didn’t play any role, and the dense red marks were still clearly visible.

"My lord, please let me introduce the situation here to you."

Kuroshima Ichigo didn’t dare to think wildly anymore, but talked about business.

"Cough cough!"

"Then I’ll trouble you, Jonin Kuroshima."

Kurotsuchi blushed and coughed twice, trying to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

Subsequently, Kuroshima Ichigo took Kurotsuchi to stroll around, and without any concealment, told Kurotsuchi all the information about this Mist Hidden stronghold.

"Report to my lord, this is the core stronghold of the Mist Hidden White Shark unit in the Land of Rain."

"The village has three permanent Jonin, thirty-seven Chunin, and Genin..."

Kuroshima Ichigo said while walking, which made Kurotsuchi’s expression gradually become much gentler.

It seems that Mizunuki Ryosuke really didn’t intend to hide it from her, and had already regarded her as one of his own.

Suddenly, a thought emerged in Kurotsuchi’s heart.

"What kind of person is Mizunuki Ryosuke?"

In the past, if such a thought appeared in her heart, Kurotsuchi would probably only think that she was crazy, how could she have such a ridiculous thought?

Who is Mizunuki Ryosuke? Who else could it be! That is the root of all evil, the big Demon God she is determined to defeat at all costs!

And this was a secret technique that allowed one to possess five attributes! A ninja possessing five attributes, in the era Kurotsuchi lived in, had long since become a legendary existence.

But after seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke’s gentle side, she suddenly realized that Mizunuki Ryosuke is not the "god" she perceived in her impression.

Although he is powerful enough to destroy the world, and smart enough to be close to a demon.

But everything last night was telling Kurotsuchi that he is also a human, a living person with feelings.

For the first time, Kurotsuchi asked herself in her heart, what kind of person is Mizunuki Ryosuke?

Was her previous evaluation of Mizunuki Ryosuke biased?

Thinking of this, she could no longer hear Kuroshima Ichigo’s words in her ears, and a trace of confusion flowed out of her eyes.

For a long time, she suddenly interrupted the chattering Kuroshima Ichigo beside her and asked slowly.

"Jonin Kuroshima, Mizunuki Ryosuke..."

"No, it’s the Fourth Mizukage, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Kurotsuchi looked seriously at this existence who could be called a high-level ninja in Mist Hidden, her eyes full of inquiring expressions.

"This..."

Kuroshima Ichigo was choked when he heard this, and for a moment didn’t know how to say it.

This question is not easy to answer. Kurotsuchi’s identity is sensitive, and what he says in front of Kurotsuchi is very likely to reach Mizunuki Ryosuke’s ears.

As a subordinate, evaluating a superior, or the undisputed master of Mist Hidden, the Mizukage. This is a big taboo, violating the style of the Kuroshima clan.

If the evaluation is low, the result is self-evident.

But if the evaluation is too subtle and doesn’t meet the expectations of the "big leader," will it cause displeasure?

Although there is no concrete evidence, it is said that Lord Mizukage likes to hear some "nice things."

And this point is naturally analyzed from the several "confidants and heavy ministers" around Mizunuki Ryosuke.

But if the evaluation is too high and the praise is too explicit, it is inevitable to have the suspicion of flattering the superior.

So no matter how you look at it, he cannot try to discuss this topic.

But thinking of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s order before leaving, as long as Kurotsuchi doesn’t leave the village, all her conditions should be satisfied as much as possible. At this moment, Kuroshima Ichigo hesitated, but finally decided to answer Kurotsuchi’s question.

"Lord Mizukage, ah..."

Kuroshima Ichigo said leisurely, a somewhat emotional expression appeared on his face, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Subsequently, Kuroshima Ichigo told all the experiences of Mizunuki Ryosuke as far as he knew from a relatively objective perspective.

Land of Rain, in a secret stronghold of Rain ninjas.

The face of Hanzo of the Salamander, dressed in military uniform, was so gloomy that it seemed water could drip out.

He exerted a little force on his arm, crumpling the letter in his hand into a ball.

This letter was a request for help he sent to Mist Hidden, and the content of the letter was also very simple.. ....

Since a large area of farmland waiting to be harvested in the Land of Rain was attacked and destroyed by the Leaf, there has been a food shortage throughout the Land of Rain.

For the logistics problem of the Rain ninja side, Hanzo of the Salamander wrote a letter to the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, for help, and stated that money is not a problem, and he is willing to buy food at a high price.

After all, in the initial stage of the war, the Rain ninjas gained a large amount of wealth through surprise attacks on the Land of Fire.

But unfortunately, what he finally got was a refusal reply.

Mizunuki Ryosuke made a response of being unable to help, and told Hanzo of the Salamander bluntly.

Mist Hidden has formed an alliance with Cloud Hidden and is caught in a war with Rock Hidden. Previously, Cloud Hidden also asked Mist Hidden for help first because of food shortages.

Due to the relationship of supporting Cloud Hidden, Mist Hidden now has no ability to solve the food dilemma of the Rain ninjas.

Subsequently, Mizunuki Ryosuke stated again that there is no food, but some weapons and medical supplies can be added as compensation.

This back-and-forth conversation was watertight, which also made Hanzo of the Salamander find no problems.

It’s just that if this is the case, the Rain ninjas will soon fall into a very bad situation due to the shortage of food and grass.

The initiative of the war will also return to the hands of the Leaf.

Hanzo of the Salamander clenched his fists unwillingly. This feeling of losing a good situation but being powerless made him hate his origin again.

It is said that heroes don’t ask where they come from, but is reality really so?

If it weren’t for being limited by the barrenness of the Land of Rain, why would he be so aggrieved?

"Bang!"

Thinking of this, Hanzo of the Salamander couldn’t help but smash a rain pine tree in front of him that could be hugged by two people with one punch.

"Pass the order down, let everyone assemble."

"Launch a surprise attack on the Land of Fire in the evening! 3.4"

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander could only give the order of drinking poison to quench thirst to the Rain ninjas beside him with unwillingness.

Since the plan to surprise the grain fields of the Land of Rain succeeded, the Leaf has shrunk its defense to guard the border, only constantly sending out small teams to constantly carry out sparrow warfare and surprise decapitation operations with the Rain ninjas.

Clearly, they have anticipated the logistics crisis on the Rain ninja side.

If this continues, when the food and grass are exhausted, the Rain ninjas can only sit and wait for death.

Therefore, Hanzo of the Salamander can only pin his hopes on launching a campaign to forcibly regain some advantages from the unfavorable frontal battlefield.

But how easy is this...

Thinking of the uneven combat power of the Rain ninjas, Hanzo of the Salamander clenched his fists again.

However, doing so, even if it fails, can save a certain amount of food due to the consumption of the population.

But doing so, how is it different from drinking poison to quench thirst?

The last person who failed to do this, Onoki, is now "visiting" the Mist Hidden Village and has become a "permanent resident" of Mist Hidden.
