what Mizunuki Ryosuke was afraid of was that Orochimaru had no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke prepared to continue to stimulate Orochimaru deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you feel weak in your limbs and extremely uncoordinated senses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is it accompanied by dizziness and blurred vision?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Most importantly, is your chakra circulation extremely sluggish at this moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's questioning was like a string of firecrackers, instantly making Orochimaru's heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who exactly is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How does he know my situation so clearly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Orochimaru's arms couldn't help but start to tremble slightly;

under such eyes, Orochimaru finally couldn't help it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's words had touched the biggest secret in the depths of his heart; in shock and anger, Orochimaru directly chose to take action with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Go to hell!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Secret Technique: Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Orochimaru raised his arm with somewhat stiff movements, and then his arm turned into dense poisonous snakes, crazily biting toward Mizunuki Ryosuke on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke still just shook his head lightly, seemingly disapproving of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He just stood on the spot without moving, letting the dense poisonous snakes bite his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Orochimaru's eyes;

There was only empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the Genjutsu, he was attacking Mizunuki Ryosuke; but in reality, he had actually been fighting with air.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Orochimaru turned all his anger into a curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fear, panic, anger, shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Multiple emotions were mixed together, which had already made Orochimaru completely lose his calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From his previous panicked attack, it could be seen that he had indeed lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What's the rush, Orochimaru?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I don't have any malice toward you, I just want to chat with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The light and airy voice appeared in Orochimaru's ear again; Orochimaru turned around suddenly, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke who was still looking at him with a calm smile behind him, a trace of chill flashed in his snake pupils again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He first checked his state to ensure that he was not disturbed by Genjutsu, and then he questioned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who exactly are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And what is your purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After one attack failed, Orochimaru finally calmed down a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter when, strength is the capital to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's hand of Genjutsu, which could be called god-like and ghost-like, revealed the tip of the iceberg of his own strength, and this strength also made Orochimaru have the thought of being afraid of the rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In addition, during the process of him falling into Genjutsu, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not choose to attack him, which also made Orochimaru hesitate about his attitude toward Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because the two sides resumed negotiation and communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile, the light in his eyes flashed and disappeared; he didn't intend to hide his identity, and exposing his identity in front of Orochimaru actually didn't have anything bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, no matter what things you want to discuss, strength is always the most fundamental factor to continue talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Appropriately showing one's strength is also a basic means of negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't hide anything and revealed the ring engraved with the word \"Water\" on the middle finger of his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not only that, Mizunuki Ryosuke no longer suppressed his aura and released his entire aura with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The powerful momentum made Orochimaru's snake pupils contract violently; at this moment, in Orochimaru's snake-like instinct, the Mizunuki Ryosuke in front of him had lost the posture of a \"human\" and completely turned into a prehistoric giant beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this instant, Orochimaru clearly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Let alone his current state being extremely poor and at a low point, even in his peak state, he would definitely not be the opponent of the man in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, Orochimaru also noticed the ring with the word \"Water\" engraved on Mizunuki Ryosuke's finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a disciple of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru naturally knew what this ring meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fourth Mizukage?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Orochimaru said in disbelief; although it was a question, Orochimaru's tone was very certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not refute and defaulted to Orochimaru's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As for the purpose...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Didn't I say it before? I just want to chat with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's expression didn't change at all, his voice was still calm, but with his identity as the Fourth Mizukage and his powerful strength as a foil, this time Orochimaru had to treat his words seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.922Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","54da6fb342815749aeaae9eda527c5a367bcb9cb1de639503c1394c1804dfbe5","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-447","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-445",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
