Chapter 524

Land of Iron, the forces invited by Mizunuki Ryosuke to participate in the ninja world meeting had all arrived.

Only, although all participating forces had arrived, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not directly start the ninja world meeting, but let everyone disperse to rest, pushing the time for the meeting to the next day.

Facing this half-day of free time, everyone thought that perhaps Mizunuki Ryosuke had other intentions, so they all chose to utilize it unanimously.

Everyone understood that in this meeting, the Fourth Mizukage Ryosuke was absolutely the core, so if they could take advantage of this time to have some private exchanges with Ryosuke, that would naturally be the best.

It wasn't just the Third Raikage who had such thoughts; before the Third Raikage, someone was even a step faster.

In the rest room separately arranged by Mifune for Mizunuki Ryosuke, at this moment, our Fourth Mizukage was chatting cordially with a young girl with a curvy figure and a bun hairstyle.

This girl had peculiar fluorescent pupils, and the bun hairstyle left two peculiar-looking bangs; it seemed that to distinguish the bangs from the original hairstyle, the girl had also dyed the bangs a striking green.

From the state of things, the two had probably been chatting for a long time.

Especially from the state of the two at this moment, those who didn't know would think how intimate their relationship was.

"Lord Mizukage, thank you so much."

The girl excitedly held Mizunuki Ryosuke's arm, her slender but unexpectedly well-endowed body pressed against Ryosuke's side like that.

Due to the excitement of her emotions, the girl's body trembled continuously while speaking, bringing Mizunuki Ryosuke a wonderfully strange tactile sensation.

Regarding the sensation brought by the girl, although Mizunuki Ryosuke was somewhat distracted, he didn't have too many feelings.

After all, he was already an old veteran who had "been through many battles," and he could still hold his own in these minor situations; after all, although the girl's figure wasn't bad, it was still a gap compared to the golden princess at his home.

Regarding the girl's gratitude, Mizunuki Ryosuke just smiled nonchalantly, and then spoke in a refined tone.

"It's nothing, just a small effort."

As he spoke, Mizunuki Ryosuke, with a gentle smile, nonchalantly pulled his hand out of the girl's embrace.

Now, the girl also seemed to realize the impropriety, and two red clouds suddenly rose on her fair cheeks, and she pinched her hands together somewhat awkwardly.

"Lord Mizukage is actually so gentle."

The girl muttered to herself in her heart.

At the same time, Mizunuki Ryosuke's gentlemanly move also made the girl have another point of good impression of him in her heart. Looking at Ryosuke's handsome face, the girl's face became even more flushed.

Which girl doesn't dream of spring? Every woman is attracted to the strong.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the Fourth Mizukage Mizunuki Ryosuke at this moment was the dream partner of women in the ninja world.

Handsome, gentle and refined, powerful, extraordinary status.

Such a man naturally carried a good impression buff for women.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison; also young and promising with a handsome face, but thinking of the cold, iron-like, unromantic Kazekage at her home, the girl felt a burst of emotion in her heart.

We are all human, why is the difference so big?

This girl was none other than the new star of the young generation of Sand ninjas, one of the two guards accompanying the Third Kazekage on this trip—Ye Cang.

And the reason why such a scene that was easy to misunderstand appeared had to start from half an hour ago.

Half an hour ago, Ryosuke, who had finished his talk with Mifune, was brought to this room by him, and not long after he saw Mifune off, the Sand ninja Ye Cang came to the door.

Of course, Ye Cang coming to the door on her own initiative was not to execute a "honey trap" or similar popular developments. It was on the Kazekage's orders, bringing a gift carefully prepared by the Third Kazekage for Mizunuki Ryosuke.

The content of the gift was unremarkable, nothing more than some priceless treasures, and Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was not greedy for money, had little interest in these.

Afterward, Ye Cang spoke to Mizunuki Ryosuke to convey the content the Third Kazekage wanted to express, nothing more than some words about gratitude for Mist's help and maintaining the friendship between the two villages, etc.

Of course, these words were all unavoidable formalities, and Mizunuki Ryosuke was already used to this.

Afterward, after Ye Cang finished the formalities, Mizunuki Ryosuke took the initiative to chat with Ye Cang.

His attitude was very gentle, and he quickly closed the distance with Ye Cang, learning a lot about the current situation of Sand through communication with Ye Cang.

Subsequently, chatting and chatting, the two talked about Ye Cang's ability; for this ability called "Scorch Release," Ryosuke expressed great curiosity.

For this Fourth Mizukage with great prestige, Ye Cang naturally didn't dare to hide anything, so she immediately showed some characteristics of the Scorch Release ability.

With Mizunuki Ryosuke's current attainments at the level of a ninjutsu development master, he naturally thought of several development directions for Scorch Release instantly, so he didn't hide it and told the Ye Cang before him directly.

Master-level ninjutsu research standards were no joke; Mizunuki Ryosuke's few words were completely worth more than Ye Cang's own exploration for more than ten years.

After all, Ye Cang's Scorch Release was extremely rare in the ninja world, and there had almost been no well-known ninjas who were good at using Scorch Release in the ninja world before; for the development of the Scorch Release ability, Ye Cang was almost crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Suddenly receiving Ryosuke's guidance, the wild joy in her heart was naturally imaginable.

Consequently, the scene just now appeared.

Not to mention the heart-pounding of the girl Ye Cang at this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke's inner thoughts were much more complex.

When a ninja world meeting is held, it is a tacit rule of the ninja world that the Kage participating in the meeting will carry guards.

Guards not only need to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Kage's safety, but also have deeper implications.

During a ninja world meeting, the guards carried by the five First Kage were basically the next successors in their villages.

For example, during the first ninja world meeting, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's guard was the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama; the First Mizukage Byakuren's guard was the Third Mizukage Mizunuki Taki; the First Kazekage Reto's guard was the Second Kazekage Shamon.

Therefore, being able to serve as a guard on such an occasion itself had unusual implications.

And sure enough, the second ninja world meeting many years later in the original work still followed the situation of the first ninja world meeting.
