Chapter 527

In Mizunuki Ryosuke's room, after Bee exchanged pleasantries with Ryosuke, he didn't hesitate and stated his purpose directly.

After hearing Bee's request, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't ponder for too long.

Bee, as a core member of Cloud Village and the next Raikage designated by the Third Raikage, the importance of his status in the Land of Lightning goes without saying.

He naturally knew that Bee's request to apprentice was definitely at the Third Raikage's instruction.

The Third Raikage arranged it this way, naturally because he saw the situation clearly and was actively showing favor to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Establishing a master-disciple relationship with the Bee before him was naturally a good thing for Mizunuki Ryosuke, and it was not in vain that he had made plans in the Land of Frost.

With this relationship, even if the Third Raikage retired in the future, Mizunuki Ryosuke could still exert influence on Cloud through his relationship with Bee, which was naturally the best.

Thus, Mizunuki Ryosuke directly chose to agree to Bee's request.

"Bee, I agree to your request."

"From now on, let's call each other master and disciple."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile, thus accepting this disciple who was slightly older than him.

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke agree, Bee also directly changed his form of address.

Ryosuke didn't say much more, just nodded slowly, and the two were considered to have completed the interaction between master and disciple.

"Our identities are unusual, and your apprenticing to me is a major event."

"How about this, after the ninja world meeting tomorrow, we hold a ceremony, just to let everyone be a witness."

"You go back and convey this to the Third Raikage."

Mizunuki Ryosuke thought for a moment, then arranged for Bee.

This matter concerned the relationship between Mist and Cloud for the next few decades, so it was naturally not a small matter, and the necessary ceremony was still needed.

"Understood."

Regarding this, Bee clearly understood it in his heart, so he also nodded in agreement.

Afterward, after exchanging a few more pleasantries, Bee left Mizunuki Ryosuke's room and returned to the Third Raikage's side to convey Mizunuki Ryosuke's proposal to the Third Raikage.

Regarding this, the Third Raikage naturally agreed immediately.

Time soon entered late night, and nothing special happened in the remaining time, but Mizunuki Ryosuke stayed in the room, as if waiting for something.

Until the moon hung on the branches, there was no movement from Ryosuke's door, and Mizunuki Ryosuke knew that the person he was waiting for should not come again.

Thinking of this, a deep look flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Actually, the Third Raikage and others were right; the reason Mizunuki Ryosuke deliberately pushed the meeting time to the next day was precisely to leave some time for the parties participating in the meeting to exchange information.

At the same time, taking advantage of this time, he could also judge the attitudes of all parties based on their actions.

Looking at it now, whether it was Cloud, Sand, or the samurai of the Land of Iron, there was no problem; the only problem was Hanzo of the Salamander of Rain.

The person Mizunuki Ryosuke had been waiting for was none other than Hanzo of the Salamander himself.

Undoubtedly, except for Waterfall, Rain was undoubtedly the most down-and-out compared to the other families; even for this ninja world meeting, Hanzo didn't even bring a guard.

It was unclear whether there was really no one to bring, or if Hanzo of the Salamander was too disappointed with the fish-belly people under his command, feeling they couldn't be on the stage, so he didn't bring them.

Things at the "face" level were so bleak, let alone things at the "inner" level.

Not long ago, Rain had just suffered a crushing defeat to Leaf on the battlefield, and Rain's elite forces were less than one in ten, basically crippled by Leaf in one battle.

And among this, there was no lack of Mizunuki Ryosuke's planning.

This made Hanzo of the Salamander the bottom existence among these forces no matter how you looked at it.

But in fact, Mizunuki Ryosuke valued Hanzo of the Salamander the most.

This is because no matter how Mizunuki Ryosuke tried to close the relationship with Sand or Cloud, at most he could only spread his influence to the other side.

Because great nations have the foundation and style of great nations, which also determines that they could never submit to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

But Hanzo of the Salamander and Rain were different; Hanzo of the Salamander, who had seen the cruelty of the world and lived a hard life, didn't care about style and dignity; he was a pragmatic person.

This determined that Mizunuki Ryosuke had the possibility of taking Hanzo of the Salamander and Rain for his own use.

Even so, a Rain ninja with full combat power and an unruly Hanzo of the Salamander could still not submit to Mizunuki Ryosuke's feet.

Therefore, Mizunuki Ryosuke had to first weaken Rain to a sufficiently weak bottom, and at the same time grind away the arrogance on Hanzo of the Salamander, making him able to lower his head and accept Ryosuke's reorganization.

Of course, the most important thing was that Mizunuki Ryosuke could bring enough benefits to the Land of Rain; otherwise, without benefits, who would be willing to hang out with you?

At the same time, subduing Rain was also a key step for Mizunuki Ryosuke to build the "Mist Alliance."

The Mist Alliance, besides Mist, must have a powerful existence as the mainstay, and this candidate could only be Hanzo of the Salamander.

Otherwise, with just two or three small fish and shrimp, Mizunuki Ryosuke had no need to reorganize this group of guys who could only drag him back.

Thus, through long-term planning and a bit of coercion and inducement, Mizunuki Ryosuke made Hanzo of the Salamander, who had just suffered a major setback in the Land of Rain, come to the Land of Iron to participate in the ninja world meeting he convened.

During the day, Hanzo of the Salamander gave him face and didn't continue to entangle with the Kazekage, which made Mizunuki Ryosuke feel this was a good start.

So he took advantage of the trend to release a certain amount of private time for communication; he concluded that all participating forces would definitely communicate with him, hoping to get some information from him.

Even if not, they would take the initiative to send people to close the relationship with him, the core figure of the meeting.

Sure enough, except for Hanzo of the Salamander, everyone took advantage of this time to meet Mizunuki Ryosuke once.

By the way, even the Waterfall leader Shibuki came to visit Ryosuke once with anxiety, but was casually dismissed by Mizunuki Ryosuke.

After all, this guy was originally brought by Ryosuke to make up the numbers and build momentum, and he didn't intend to let Waterfall, which had also been crippled by Rock, get involved in this matter.

It's just that he didn't expect that only Hanzo of the Salamander, Ryosuke had never been able to see him.

This made Mizunuki Ryosuke somewhat unable to judge Hanzo's attitude for a moment; seeing that the meeting was about to be held tomorrow, he would probably only be able to use the general trend to suppress Hanzo of the Salamander then.

It's just that doing so would make Hanzo hard to be convinced in the future, and it would probably leave some hidden dangers.

The best way was to know Hanzo's attitude in advance and clear the air in advance to make Hanzo return his heart.

But now, it seems there is no chance.

"Forget it."

Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head and sighed to himself.

There are no perfect things in the world; things have reached this point and the general trend is set, so he is not afraid that Hanzo of the Salamander can escape his palm.
