Chapter 46: Heading Toward the Tiger
Mizunuki Ryosuke waited patiently on the side like this, not worried at all that the Third Mizukage wouldn't be able to hold out after a large number of Mist Anbu ninjas rushed to the Lake of Mist.
After another hour, Mizunuki Ryosuke, having confirmed that most of the Mist Anbu main force, including Karatachi Yagura, had all left, finally began to act slowly.
Mizunuki Ryosuke formed seals with one hand, and then eight irregular diamond-shaped ice mirrors with a diameter of about fifty centimeters appeared around him.
When the eight ice mirrors wrapped around Mizunuki Ryosuke in a 360-degree circle,
When the surrounding sunlight shone on the ice mirrors, it refracted in a strange state toward the surroundings.
A strange thing happened.
Just an instant later, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s figure disappeared from where he stood.
Replacing him was an ordinary scene that was indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.
Secret Technique: Magic Mirror Illusion Technique!
Mizunuki Ryosuke, who possessed the identity of a transmigrator, naturally knew that the reason human eyes can see objects is due to the principle of light refraction.
And the existence of a mirror surface can refract light.
After a period of hard research, Mizunuki Ryosuke used ice mirrors to refract light, combined with a certain amount of illusion, and finally developed—Secret Technique: Magic Mirror Illusion Technique!
The effect of this technique was also obvious: it could achieve an effect similar to "optical camouflage" in science fiction novels.
It achieved a perfect simulation of the nearby environment through the refraction of light.
That’s right, Mizunuki Ryosuke used this secret technique precisely to penetrate the Mist Anbu building for investigation!
From the very beginning, Mizunuki Ryosuke clearly knew that Karatachi Yagura was by no means the most difficult part of the current chess game.
Just a Karatachi Yagura didn't even need Mizunuki Ryosuke to take action.
Relying only on the methods he had arranged earlier was enough for Mizunuki Taki to deal with Karatachi Yagura.
But everything was not that simple; Mizunuki Ryosuke had to know:
Was Karatachi Yagura a "pawn" or a "chess player"?
Because behind Karatachi Yagura, there might exist one of the two poles of the ninja world, the Ninja World Shura who could rival the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama—Uchiha Madara!
You have to know, this is Uchiha Madara!
A person who could take down the Five Kage with one hand, punch the Prince, and kick the Second Pillar.
Even if Madara-sama was elderly at this moment and had already transplanted his Rinnegan to Nagato, he was definitely not someone just anyone could mess with.
Killing a Kage-level powerhouse was still a trivial matter for the elderly Madara.
Mizunuki Ryosuke had to figure out whether Karatachi Yagura was currently being controlled by Uchiha Madara!
Mizunuki Ryosuke had already analyzed it meticulously.
Even Uchiha Madara could not achieve long-distance control by using illusion to control a Kage-level powerhouse for a long time.
The other party must be lurking inside the Hidden Mist Village.
In the vast Hidden Mist Village, there was only one place that could satisfy the convenience of manipulating the Mist Anbu Chief and being easy to hide in.
Mizunuki Ryosuke could only think of one place.
That is—the Mist Anbu building!
Thus, Mizunuki Ryosuke intended to take advantage of the heaven-sent opportunity of the empty Mist Anbu to go to the Mist Anbu building for reconnaissance.
Although it was somewhat too risky, Mizunuki Ryosuke knew in his heart that in a situation where he didn't know if Uchiha Madara truly existed, ignoring this Ninja World Shura was the truly dangerous situation!
It was very likely that if things went wrong, the entire upper echelon of the Hidden Mist Village would be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Mizunuki Ryosuke had estimated in his heart that with the advantage of "planning against the unprepared," his probability of retreating unscathed after infiltrating the Mist Anbu building was as high as 99%.
Even if he really encountered Uchiha Madara, as long as he was determined to run, escaping would not be a problem.
Mizunuki Ryosuke had even made up his mind that if he were really forced to confront Uchiha Madara,
He would run away immediately, return to his own basement, and without saying a word, take Lian and Mizunuki Rikka and run away, not staying for even a second.
After making up his mind, Mizunuki Ryosuke took 120% care in his heart and infiltrated the interior of the Mist Anbu building.
The Mist Anbu building, which used to be the most confidential place in the entire Hidden Mist Village, now only had a few small fish left. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
Even the guards responsible for the Mist Anbu gate were only two Chunin.
Mere Chunin naturally had no ability to see through the secret technique that Mizunuki Ryosuke had painstakingly developed.
Inside the Mist Anbu building, it was currently empty, with only a few remaining ninjas responsible for guarding some confidential key areas.
Along the way, Mizunuki Ryosuke infiltrated to the deepest part of the Mist Anbu building with almost no effort.
But even in the deepest part of the Mist Anbu building, Mizunuki Ryosuke still did not find any anomalies.
Regarding this, he didn't feel surprised at all, but had other conjectures in his heart.
As an "ordinary" Special Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, Mizunuki had too many secrets and trump cards that had not been exposed.
Among them, there was one secret that no one knew: Mizunuki Ryosuke was a ninja born with five attributes!
As everyone knows, a ninja’s attributes represent the categories of ninjutsu that a ninja can learn and practice later in life.
Generally speaking, ninjas of the Mizunuki clan are limited by their bloodline and only possess two attributes: Wind and Water.
As for the Ice attribute, it is a Kekkei Genkai awakened based on these two basic attributes.
The more attributes, the more comprehensive a ninja’s abilities are.
Looking at the Naruto world, there are only a few people with five-attribute chakra, such as Sarutobi Hiruzen, Senju Tobirama, and Kakashi.
(Kakuzu doesn't count; after all, he relies on secret techniques, not innate talent, so he is excluded here.)
Five attributes not only bring extremely strong combat power but also bring the ability to face various unexpected situations.
For example, at this moment, if it were a ninja without the Earth attribute, they could only stare blankly at this situation.
Earth Release: Rock Submersion Technique!
At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke removed the disguise of the Magic Mirror Illusion and escaped into the ground.
That’s right, the location Mizunuki Ryosuke suspected was under the Mist Anbu building!
(Seeking flowers, tickets, support, and tips!) ===== CHAPTER 92 =====
