He did not stay in the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he returned to his own home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, looking at the familiar streets of the Mist Village, Mizunuki Ryosuke sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flow of people on the street also looked exceptionally sparse, and everything seemed somewhat desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Village, the only ninja village in the Land of Water, is ranked among the five great ninja villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only those within the village know that the current Mist is falling into unprecedented weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the foresight of a transmigrator, Mizunuki Ryosuke knew in his heart that a storm that would sweep through the Mist was about to break out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after this storm, the Mist Village would also earn the title of \"Bloody Mist Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Mizunuki Ryosuke returned to the Mizunuki clan's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the Mizunuki, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally lived within the Mizunuki clan's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his parents had died early, Mizunuki Ryosuke lived alone in a residence of considerable size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he pushed open the door, the aroma of food wafted into his nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a gentle female voice with a hint of surprise reached Mizunuki Ryosuke's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryosuke, you're back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful figure before him, no matter how many times he saw her, he still felt a bit stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A snow-white long dress against the girl's snow-like skin gave her a pure and flawless beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gentle and moving face made this pure beauty even more captivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Mizunuki Ryosuke could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a soft and fragrant warmth rushed into his arms, and he felt this intoxicating warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mizunuki Ryosuke felt his heart soften for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I'm back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Lian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beauty in his arms looked up, carefully examining Mizunuki Ryosuke's face, as if checking to see if any parts were missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soft black hair brushed against Mizunuki Ryosuke's neck, bringing an unusual sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the girl finished her examination and confirmed that Mizunuki Ryosuke was intact, she spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryosuke, how could you encounter such a dangerous thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You scared me to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the worry in Mizunuki Lian's eyes, Ryosuke smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't everything fine now, Sister Lian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke comforted the beauty in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Lian, the current \"Princess\" of the Mizunuki clan, is also the apple of the eye of the Clan Head and Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the previous visit of the Mizukage was also inextricably linked to this Mizunuki Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian and Ryosuke had been childhood sweethearts since they were young, although Mizunuki Lian was three years older than Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this did not affect the two being playmates and best friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that this relationship later developed into a \"sister-brother\" relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Mizunuki Ryosuke's parents died in the war, Mizunuki Lian directly took care of Mizunuki Ryosuke's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention what kind of relationship Lian and Ryosuke actually had, but the two appeared so intimate that to outsiders, it was naturally that kind of relationship people loved to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And regarding the relationship between Ryosuke and Lian, the elders who had close relationships with Mizunuki Lian were basically opposed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Lian's father, Mizunuki Taki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because on the surface, Mizunuki Ryosuke was just an ordinary clan member with mediocre ninja talent and had not even awakened a bloodline, belonging to the kind of ninja with no future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such strength, in this cruel world, he would eventually only become cannon fodder for the village and could not give Lian a stable life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Taki naturally did not agree to marry Mizunuki Lian off to such a ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything changed not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke not only awakened the Ice Release bloodline but even killed a Rock Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As mentioned earlier, not every ninja in a bloodline clan can awaken their own bloodline, and it is the same in the Mizunuki clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire Mizunuki clan, there are no more than twenty people who have awakened a bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Mizunuki Ryosuke looked mediocre in talent at the moment, he had the advantage of being young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakening a bloodline meant that he had endless possibilities in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain point of his parents being dead and having no one to rely on now turned into the advantage of having a clean background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the reason why Mizunuki Taki's attitude toward Ryosuke not only changed but he even visited him personally...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason lies here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the current Mizunuki Taki does not mind Ryosuke \"marrying into the family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is also willing to make some \"investments\" in Ryosuke, who has awakened a bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Mizunuki Ryosuke, as a member of the Mizunuki clan, already had the mark of the \"Mizukage faction\" imprinted on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's strength has no harm at all to the Third Mizukage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the look Mizunuki Taki gave Mizunuki Ryosuke when they parted was not just encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a hint of a \"father-in-law looking at a son-in-law\" examination.\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-17T04:29:27.213Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
