Chapter 459: , Sorry, I

"Please sit down."

"The three of you have come from afar, is there anything?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a pleasant countenance, greeting the three to sit down first.

This question can also be considered Mizunuki Ryosuke asking what he already knows.

At this point in time, there is only one thing for people from Kumogakure to come to the door, and that is—to ask for help.

While speaking, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked up at the clock on the wall.

I saw that the hour hand on it had passed "12" and had reached the position between "12" and "1."

Hearing his inquiry, a hint of solemnity flashed in Bee's eyes.

"To tell you the truth."

"This time we rashly came to visit the Mizukage, indeed~ there is something important to ask for."

Bee looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with a serious expression, carefully observing Ryosuke's attitude.

But no matter what, he could not see a trace of extra emotional fluctuation from Ryosuke's gentle face.

Because no matter how he observed, it seemed like standing on the shore watching the boundless sea; no matter how hard he tried, he could only see the calm on the sea surface, and could not see the turbulence under the sea surface at all.

"Then I wonder, is it public business or private business?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke still just smiled gently, asking Bee without caring.

Hearing this, Bee's face was stunned, a bit dumbfounded, not understanding why Mizunuki Ryosuke would ask this.

The two are not related, and they belong to two different countries; he ran from far away, of course, for "public business."

Could it be that he ran from far away to "reminisce about the past"?

But a dignified Mizukage would never shoot without a target; the other party saying this naturally has deep meaning.

Meeting for the first time, Bee was carefully pondering every word of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

After all, it is Kumogakure that is asking for help first, so naturally, he has to constantly ponder the other party's intentions.

Bee pondered for a while, and finally chose a safer answer; he cautiously probed Mizunuki Ryosuke in front of him.

"We came to see the Mizukage this time, actually there are two things."

"A 'public business', a 'private business'."

Hearing Bee's words, the smile in Ryosuke's eyes became more obvious; the other party was indeed as he expected, choosing an answer with a probing meaning.

"Alright then, please tell me first, what is the private business?"

The smile on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face did not change at all, and his attitude remained gentle.

Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's words, Bee's expression was strange, and he became more and more unable to understand the depth of Mizunuki Ryosuke in front of him.

"Private business" was just something he made up casually; what private business could he have to discuss with the Mizukage?

The reason he said this was just to probe the Fourth Mizukage in front of him.

Reasonably speaking, at this time, to reflect the Mizukage's majesty and the attitude of "being dedicated to the public," shouldn't the other party ask what "public business" it is?

Mizunuki Ryosuke's answer caught Bee off guard, and he was stunned on the spot.

It was the female ninja Samui beside Bee, who was delicate and thoughtful, who reacted first and said softly to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Reporting to the Mizukage, it is like this."

"Before departure, the Raikage entrusted us to bring a gift for you in his name."

"Hoping to use this as a witness to the friendship between the Raikage and you, please accept it."

Samui said respectfully, then stood up and took out a gift box from the bag carried behind Karui.

With Samui's relief, Bee also reacted, and under Samui's quick wit, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

So Bee hurriedly added an explanation.

"The Land of Lightning is rich in gems."

"This is a precious gem specialty of our country, presented to the Mizukage as a gift, please don't dislike it."

Bee said hurriedly; as an envoy of a great nation, when meeting the leader of the other party, he would naturally choose to give a gift, which is a basic etiquette in diplomacy.

The gift given does not necessarily have to be very valuable, but it will definitely reflect the characteristics of the country.

And the act of giving a gift, although it is a necessary means of diplomacy between two countries, if you have to say it, it is indeed a "private business."

With the two singing in harmony, this time it was barely passed.

Regarding this, the smile on Ryosuke's face became more obvious.

"Do you mind if I open it?"

He took the gift box handed over by Samui and said to the three Kumo ninjas in front of him with a smile.

"Of course, please take a look!"

Samui said hurriedly; she was looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke nervously, and the blush on her face had not yet dissipated.

Immediately, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not be polite and opened the box in front of him directly.

Subsequently, the brilliance of pearls and gems bloomed from the box, and for a time, it actually reflected colorful colors in this Mizukage's office.

Just looking at this appearance, these are definitely treasures among treasures, and saying they are worth a city is no exaggeration at all.

·· Begging for flowers ·· ··

"This is a bit too precious."

"The Third Raikage has a heart. Please convey my thanks after you return to Kumogakure."

"Since it is a symbol of friendship, then I will accept it."

A hint of admiration flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes, then he gathered the smile on his face and said seriously to the three people in front of him.

Seeing this, Bee and Samui looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Since the Fourth Mizukage accepted Kumogakure's gift, this shows that the other party's attitude towards Kumogakure is acceptable, which also provides a good start for the next conversation.

But who knew that before the two could continue to speak, Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly stood up and then made a gesture to leave.

"Wait, please wait a moment!"

Immediately, Samui stood up and blocked Mizunuki Ryosuke's path.

"Mizukage, what are you doing?!"

On the other side, Bee was also shocked, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke with an uncomprehending and panicked look.

He didn't understand why it was fine just now, accepting Kumogakure's gift, and now Mizunuki Ryosuke wanted to leave.

"Hmm?"

"Of course, I'm going home."

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at Samui blocking his way, and Bee on the other side with a panicked expression, and said as a matter of course.

"Go, go home?!"

Samui was shocked, and a few black lines appeared on her forehead.

And on the other side, Bee's mouth was open wider than his fist at this moment; he couldn't believe that such words would come from the Mizukage's mouth.

"Squad Leader Morita, these distinguished guests will be handed over to you for reception."

"I'm getting off work."

Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally picked up the gift box containing the gems on the desk, and then said to Kuroshima Morita on the side with a smile.

Hearing this, a hint of realization appeared in Kuroshima Morita's eyes, and then he nodded seriously to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Yes, Mizukage."

Regarding Ryosuke's unreliable behavior, Kuroshima Morita not only did not have any intention to stop it but instead answered Ryosuke very seriously.

In Kuroshima Morita's heart, Ryosuke's move must have deep meaning, and as a subordinate, he only needs to cooperate.

Even if Ryosuke really just wanted to get off work and go home, Kuroshima Morita would not have any obstruction or dissatisfaction.

No one knows better than him how much effort Mizunuki Ryosuke has spent behind the scenes for Kirigakure.

Even if he gets some preferential treatment, it is what Ryosuke deserves. ===== CHAPTER 461 =====

Even if he obtains some small preferential treatment, it is the blade Ryosuke deserves.
