Chapter 676: Giving You a Chance is Saving You

The fate of Roshi and the Four-Tails was constantly telling Kitsuchi one thing.

That is—this Fourth Mizukage before him, who appeared gentle and polite, would not need to exert much effort to kill him.

Therefore, being alone in a room with this Fourth Mizukage to have a conversation required great courage.

But even so, Kitsuchi understood.

At this very moment, in the vast Iwagakure, only he could stand up and shoulder this banner.

In other words, at this moment, he did not represent himself, but the ten thousand-plus Iwa ninja on the battlefield, the entire Iwagakure, and even the entire Land of Earth!

If he were to be weak and retreat here, then the entire Iwagakure of the Land of Earth would be implicated!

Therefore, Kitsuchi could not be weak, nor could he retreat!

Kitsuchi took another deep breath, trying his best to keep his voice steady and avoid any trembling.

"I'm sorry, Lord Mizukage."

"Iwagakure does not accept unconditional surrender."

Kitsuchi looked directly at Mizunuki Ryosuke, his eyes without a trace of evasion or retreat; he had actually directly rejected Mizunuki Ryosuke's request.

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face.

Even he hadn't expected that Kitsuchi would dare to reject his request so firmly.

If the person he was negotiating with at this moment had been Onoki, then Ryosuke wouldn't have been too surprised, but that the young Kitsuchi would have this kind of nerve indeed surprised him a little.

Although he was rejected by Kitsuchi, Mizunuki Ryosuke felt no anger in his heart; instead, his interest grew even higher.

This is like a game; when you are clearing a level and fighting a boss, you can't just finish it off with a basic attack, right? You have to use skill combos to slowly wear it down, and then use an ultimate move to finish it off—that counts as interesting. ===== CHAPTER 678 =====
