Why is the Three-Tails here!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke was immediately taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why the Three-Tails' size was so miniature, it was naturally because of Uchiha Madara's near-absolute control over the Tailed Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tailed Beasts themselves can adjust their own size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isobu's consciousness had been completely manipulated by the Eternal Mangekyo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been a long time ago that Uchiha Madara left a contingency plan inside the Tailed Beast to facilitate future control over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even from a great distance, Uchiha Madara could still command the Tailed Beast as if it were an extension of his own arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryosuke, since you have joined the Eye of the Moon Plan, you are one of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have much of a welcoming gift to give you for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Three-Tails Isobu is a gift for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe that with your ability, you should be able to command the power of a Tailed Beast at will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara said with a smile, his wrinkled old face looking like a kind grandfather from next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old fox, so that's where your attention was...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly understood something after hearing Uchiha Madara's words, muttering to himself in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't mean to make me the jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, do you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke feigned surprise, his eyes filled with just the right amount of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryosuke, you really understand me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let the Three-Tails become your aid; consider it a gift from me to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara's words were full of dominance; those who didn't know better would think the Three-Tails was a turtle he kept in his backyard, and his tone also faintly carried a hint of coercion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly thought that this old fox Madara really couldn't trust him; this was him asking for a \"pledge of allegiance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was also very simple: to make Uchiha Madara feel at ease with Mizunuki Ryosuke, he had to possess the means to counter Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best way was, of course, genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, genjutsu was ineffective against Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara could only think of another way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"Tailed Beast\" was the best method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Mizunuki Ryosuke became a jinchuriki, Uchiha Madara would suddenly have the means to counter Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just the Sharingan's restraint on Tailed Beasts; most importantly, he had the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madara had the ability at any time to forcibly retrieve the Tailed Beast inside Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once one becomes a jinchuriki, their life is bound to the Tailed Beast; if the Tailed Beast is extracted by the Demonic Statue, the jinchuriki will inevitably lose their life as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original story, even Naruto did not defend against this move of Madara's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm afraid that's not appropriate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Madara, didn't you just say that our 'Eye of the Moon' plan requires collecting the Tailed Beasts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I become a 'jinchuriki,' wouldn't I be unable to return the Three-Tails after the plan succeeds?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile, intending to do his best to decline this \"honor\" of being a jinchuriki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the \"tugging\" just now, the way Mizunuki Ryosuke and Madara addressed each other had evolved into \"Ryosuke\" and \"Mr. Madara.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, since I have a way to give you the Three-Tails.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I naturally have a way to take it out completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to borrow the power of the Three-Tails.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You keep declining; do you look down on this old man's gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara suddenly straightened his face, and his tone instantly turned a few degrees colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke knew that becoming a jinchuriki seemed to be Madara's bottom line, so he stopped declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Madara's talk of \"taking it out whenever,\" Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't believe his nonsense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, then thank you, Mr. Madara.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will accept it respectfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke chuckled twice and then nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old thing, you really think you've got me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mere Three-Tails; once it enters my body, it will only have to obey, and by then, it won't necessarily be listening to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart, he had a completely different set of thoughts at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is truly for the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of satisfaction also flashed in Madara's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men's gazes met in the air, each seeing the kindness the other was feigning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if the two were truly like-minded friends gathered together for the same goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, the peace between the two sides was only built on the basis that neither could do anything about the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, Mr. Madara, before becoming a jinchuriki, I have one more idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you let me hear it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara was also smiling, looking like a kind and amiable grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like this, I want to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some explanation, Uchiha Madara revealed a hearty expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryosuke, you truly live up to your name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, I agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Uchiha Madara first showed a look of surprise, and then gave a look that said \"as expected\" and \"you truly live up to your name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, Mr. Madara, happy cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled and extended a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Happy cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara readily extended his other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two completely different arms were firmly clasped together; just from their \"loving\" expressions, one could absolutely not tell that they were each harboring ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Lake of Mist, the battle between the two sides had reached a white-hot stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the appearance of the Third Mizukage, the winning percentage of the Mizukage's side greatly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was there a boost in morale, but the Third Mizukage's intervention also gave the Mizukage's side an extra \"Kage-level\" combat force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Hozuki Mangetsu was using the Hydrification Technique to heal himself while looking at the battling Mizunuki Taki and Hozuki Suigetsu with an uncertain expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Hozuki Mangetsu looked to be in quite bad shape; in addition to wounds of all sizes all over his body, his skin was also covered with many coral-like proliferative tissues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he had already lost most of his combat effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These corals were the injuries caused by Hozuki Suigetsu's exclusive ninjutsu, Coral Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was the \"First Genius of the Hidden Mist,\" Hozuki Mangetsu's current strength was still in a growth phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not yet reached the true \"Kage\" level, and fighting against Hozuki Suigetsu, who had Kage-level strength, was still a bit too much of a stretch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Hozuki Mangetsu pulling out all the stops, he was still no match for Hozuki Suigetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Mizukage and the Mist Anbu Chief fighting fiercely before him, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, fighting in threes, had also reached a critical moment, and it was likely that they would each decide the outcome before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the entire battlefield, nearly half of the troops invested by both sides had been killed or wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, saw everything in his eyes and knew it was time to decide the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hozuki Suigetsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You colluded with the Rock Ninja and plotted against the interests of the village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-17T04:30:30.011Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c1aa8603e3ebb97b0d142556b87dc79fe27bcd6e498a5152c975b85ea5fa5eac","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-61","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-59",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
