Chapter 469: , Please, stop reading

Tian Yuanshi talked incessantly to Bee about Mizunuki Ryosuke's "great achievements," and once he started, he wouldn't stop, giving the three a headache.

Tian Yuanshi's old-fashioned and boring narration, coupled with his long and uninteresting tone, turned this visit into an extremely boring "Fourth Mizukage Personal Story Hour."

Three hours later

Bee looked at Tian Yuanshi, who was still immersed in the past and couldn't extricate himself, and several huge "..." appeared on his forehead.

And beside Bee, the beautiful ninja Samui and the Magnet Release ninja Troy already had spiral-shaped eyes, trapped in a state of trance.

"Elder Tian, I know what you are saying, but..."

Finally, Bee could no longer endure it; taking advantage of the gap when Tian Yuanshi was drinking water, he immediately tried to interrupt Tian Yuanshi to end this "ordeal" of a story hour.

"Hmm? What?"

"You actually know that what I was going to say next was 'The Proposal and Architectural Guidance for the Seventh Expansion of Kirigakure' and 'The Engineering Budget and Precautions for the Construction of Kirigakure's Drainage Project'?"

Tian Yuanshi raised an eyebrow and read out a long list of boring content that sounded headache-inducing to Bee.

"No, no, no!!!!"

Seeing this, Bee immediately waved his hands to refuse Tian Yuanshi; he couldn't imagine if he really listened to Tian Yuanshi finish all this, whether he could still take it.

At the same time, Samui and Troy, who had already been tortured into a trance by Tian Yuanshi's "monk chanting," stood up and subconsciously hid in the corner of the room, trembling.

At this moment, Tian Yuanshi was already equated with a "demon" in their eyes.

To be able to tell such a boring and long story with a straight face and still be tireless about it—this must be a demon, right?!

"Um, please forgive our rudeness!"

"Sorry to bother you, Elder Tian!"

At once, Bee didn't care about waiting for Tian Yuanshi's reply; he maxed out the speed mode of his Lightning Release Armor, grabbed Samui and Troy, and ran.

Watching the three fleeing in a panic, a hint of a smile appeared in Tian Yuanshi's eyes.

Having long known Mizunuki Ryosuke's intentions, he naturally wouldn't give the Kumogakure trio a chance to make a fuss.

Still the same saying, it's enough to make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties.

It's just that he didn't expect his narration to be so unacceptable to the other party.

"Is the story I tell really that boring?"

Tian Yuanshi looked at the mirror on the side, looking at the extremely stiff zombie face in the mirror, and he muttered to himself, somewhat unconvinced.

"Impossible, it must be the problem with these three people."

"Next time, I'll try someone else; they will definitely like my story."

Thinking of this, a stiff smile appeared on Tian Yuanshi's zombie face, and then he comfortably picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of the tea.

The Kumogakure trio, who had "luckily escaped with their lives" from Tian Yuanshi, sat pale-faced at a corner of a street in Kirigakure.

Especially Samui, who was not only pale but also muttered to herself from time to time.

It was all whispers like "It's too scary, I want to go home."

Even Troy, an elite ninja with good strength, was pale because of Tian Yuanshi's preaching and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

"Bee, in my opinion, we should..."

The setback in front of Tian Yuanshi was just a microcosm; recalling the constant walls they had hit in Kirigakure over the past two days, Troy had the idea of just going home.

Thinking of this, Troy slowly said to Bee beside him.

"No!"

"Troy, how can you have such a weak thought!"

"Have you forgotten that the village is currently in the midst of war?!"

"If we go back in disgrace, how many of our companions in the village will die on the battlefield of the Land of Moon?!"

"If we cannot get Kirigakure's help, the village may completely lose control of the Land of Moon!"

"How can we give up here just because we encountered this little setback?"

"I will not stop until I reach my goal!"

Although Bee's face didn't look very good either, he still said it resolutely, and a determined aura appeared on his body.

Under Bee's encouragement, the two also reignited their fighting spirit.

At the same time, inside the underground space of the Fourth Mizukage's residence in the Mizunuki clan grounds.

Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was observing everything using the Secret Technique: Mirror of Clarity, revealed a hint of a smile.

Secret Technique: Mirror of Clarity, a Yin Release secret technique, similar to the Telescope Technique often used by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, to peek into the women's bathhouse in the original work...

Using this move, combined with the barrier existing around Kirigakure, as long as Mizunuki Ryosuke knows the chakra nature of the target, he can observe this person's behavior within Kirigakure through the Mirror of Clarity.

Now, Mizunuki Ryosuke is boredly using the Mirror of Clarity to observe every move of the Kumogakure trio.

Seeing the perseverance on Bee's body, a hint of depth flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Sure enough, there is no one who can easily shoulder the title of "Kage."

But this was also within Mizunuki Ryosuke's expectations.

"No rush, let's dampen his spirit a bit more."

Mizunuki Ryosuke whispered in his heart while dispelling the insight of the Mirror of Clarity.

Subsequently, he got up and sought out Mizunuki Liuhua and Mizunuki Lian, who were fiddling with flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Since the passing of the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Long, Liuhua had gradually become accustomed to this life of depending on her daughter and son-in-law, and tending to flowers and plants could be considered self-contented.

Although she lost the halo of the Mizukage's wife, Liuhua became even more self-contented, and the whole person became radiant, looking much younger.

At a glance, she and Mizunuki Lian looked like a pair of sisters, and one couldn't tell she was already a mother.

"Aunt Liuhua, Lian."

"Let's go to the hot springs together."

"It's rare to have time; I will accompany you well."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said softly to Liuhua and Lian before him.

Upon hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's words, Lian revealed a surprised expression.

"Really?"

Lian stared at Mizunuki Ryosuke with a pair of shining eyes, her eyes full of surprise.

"Of course."

To this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just smiled. ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
